Ancient Ash Titans, so many roaming. Did someone invite them to a party or something? Haven't met a single one. Where? I actually need to kill one. I circled the whole bloody Freeplay map twice. Unless it's an event that just started in the last half hour? Really? I've encountered at least seven, killed at least 5. Even on easy mode. You may want to look near the mushroom trees (saw at least 3 there) or go to The Monument, as I've had an encounter with 2 (underneath a giant metal ring).

2nd FP. Sound cut off again mid-world event. Had to kill the game (after I returned to Tarsis naturally). The loading screen that transitions from Tarsis to the world lasts 150 seconds, more or less. Loading up the Forge takes 15 seconds. Ugh, 150 seconds? HDD? I get annoyed by the time it loads on my SSD and will probably have to shoot myself if I used a HDD. HDD, yes.

I am rage quitting for today Did a main mission where we barely survived an Ancient Ash Titan, then the server stopped working when we had to load in another area, hence - mission progress lost, have to do all of it plus the Titan again. Well, no!

Well, no! It is. It's just your own, personal instance. Notice how you don't need to save the game anywhere, be it outside or inside Tarsis?

So, I'm curious about a quest I picked up. I was wondering if anyone else knows what this is.
I spoke to two male sentinels at the big door in the Forge/market area. They gave a quest, defend workers on the wall,
I did some free play, then decided to do that mission, but it's gone.

I quit the game in the middle of a mission, the first one after Heart of Rage. I was near the end. When I restarted, I was back at the beginning of that mission. I suspect most missions will be like that, in part because they can't save your entire groups status, since the others might not have quit, and most certainly won't be rejoining you when you return.

Played about ~6 hours (10 hr trial) today thanks to acehilator... The network was behaving for me, so I was happy about that. I agree the loading times are really, really long, even with my speedy SSD. The missions I took (up to Brinn's first mission), went smoothly, but noticed some chatter getting cut off every now and again. Still some familiar issues in Freeplay - pop-in/pop-out enemies, getting stuck in geometry, underwater controls being better, but still not quite feeling right. Flight overall feels better though, but still not quite as nice as the PC modded version that someone cooked up for the demo. I hear there will be additional improvements in the Day 1 patch, so I won't try tweaking anything until then. Still early in the story questline, so I'm not heavily invested in these characters yet, but so far it seems alright. I have to say I'm not particularly "wowed" by the storyline, but interested enough to keep pushing forward. I will say it was nice being able to finally explore the rest of the map, and it is gorgeous, but I'm kinda hoping they'll add more areas/biomes soon- ish after launch. Given the relatively small area, I have a feeling it's only going hold people's attention for so long. Especially since there's little to do other than kill the same enemies, silence relics, and all happening in pretty much the same environment. I'm gonna try to pace myself for those last 4 hours, it's gonna be a long wait after they're over...

Crimson Lancer is a better show than Dawnguard. I listened both on the radios. Fight me!
Don't even try to bring up Detective Hops.
P.S. I keep thinking Faye is a Twi'lek.

They could save individual checkpoints to your character though, regardless of where your group is. They could also save your items and gear etc. so that if you do get kicked you don't lose anything you have picked up.

Of course, they won't. People would abuse it for farming. Dropping before the mission ends and going back in.
IMO anyway.

I purchased the Xbox Game Pass last night, so I hope that qualifies me to play it today. If not, I'll just continue playing Crackdown 3 until next week. I'm not convinced it's included in Xbox Game Pass, at least I don't think so. Enjoy Crackdown I guess. Haha, thanks Sofa. I found that out so I'll be cancelling Xbox Game Pass. I played the first 2 Crackdown's and this one is just as good, for me anyway. Just mindless shooting and blowing things up, always good in my book.

It's not a shared, online world tho. Division is a shared online world and loads way faster. It's also a bigger world and has a lot more gameplay systems to load.
Anthem loads slow. Anthem is full of loading screens for everything and they are slow. You think the complaints are bad now? Wait until the new shiny smell wears off the game and people have been having to put up with the load times for a few weeks. Then you'll have your defense force work cut out for you.
Aside from the fact that we can have a dispute about which game is bigger and so on... do you mean Division - the game that has been on market for years and thus had years of optimizations? Or Division 2 - the game that is BASED on a title that has been optimized for years (though I already heard people complaining that many bugs that existed in D1 have not been fixed in D2)? You know... unlike Anthem, that is a completely new title with a unique shared world and considerable RPG systems, that is only going through its first rounds of standard launch optimizations? Anyway - Anthem loads about as fast as ESO and I don't think in five years I play it has been a major issue. People have also pointed out that Destiny is way worse - and that's a game that, again, has a 2nd installment now that's been on the market for months. In other words - we hear a lot of complaining about loading screens, because there's not much else to make a big issue of

But that is a separate thing from what was discussed? We still don't save the game on our own when we're in Tarsis - because it's not a module that is separate from the online shared world.
