The fact that we don't get one single marker on our maps telling us where to go is beginning to irritate me. How dumb does this game think I am that it needs to go Hansel and Gretel on my ass?

The game is something of a maze through and there aren't that many games on the market that are that vertical, so I think a decent chunk of people will appreciate those. ...But this is also why I think people asking for waypoints for freeplay may discover its limited usability ( if we will get only a standard waypoint one day), as it's really rare that we can go anywhere in a straight line.

Hmm?? wonder if its the platform your playing on I'm PC and I managed to get all the LOD gear two weapons plus the armor. Maybe its because xbox only had ea access and pc has premier (ie full game) I‘m on PC as well and I got the LoD armor and weapons — I am playing only the 10 hour trial …

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 It isn't limited to Anthem loading slow either. It is FULL of loading screens for everything. Compound that with Anthem loading slow and you have slow loading times with constant and numerous loading screens for every little thing you do.

I don't remember loading screens anywhere inside For Tarsis aside from the forge and that's not a long one. So no - definitely not "everything I do". The longest loading screens that still require optimization are for entering freeplay, missions (+loading screen when we're pulled by tethering to the group) or loading cutscenes in the open world when we are in a group.

You should have the option to choose between a single map marker, no map markers, or their current system. Aside from low priority for launch, perhaps it's the reason why we may have to wait for waypoints a bit - I can see people becoming frustrated if it's just a single map marker, even if I see its usefulness to just mark a general direction. I've seen that happen with world events or player markers - I want to go there, but there are two mountains to fly around and 3 tunnels to enter before the destination can be reached.

Hm... I can't remember any loading screens being shown when Bio was video streaming their Anthem showcase. I do remember, however, in one of Bio's live streams that an uber computer was being used.
Once again, Bio is confirming their great skill at marketing slight of hand, ,,, real magicians they are. The "defenders" are reaching to "extreme heights" for plausible answers or deflective ones. in the mean time, It appears the "early adopters" (read pre-ordered) get the crew as a reward.
With this said, bear in mind that this Early Access game is not the "final" one at launch. Do expect some optimisations by then.

I was under the impression, with Bio's last live stream, that the studio updated the UI to show where to go at the edges of the screen... compass like, if you will.

With this said, bear in mind that this Early Access game is not the "final" one at launch. Do expect some optimisations by then. Fun fact - the person you responded to made a preorder. The "defender" (me)... didn't. I timed a month EA Access Premier to coincide with early access to check if Anthem is for me and whether it'd be something I play on more regular intervals or in spurts after enough content builds up. So technically I don't have a horse in this race. And... loading screens simply aren't an issue for me. Not saying that people don't or can't have issues, especially if they're not using fast SSDs and have generally strong rigs as I do (95% of almost 30 hours I've logged so far have been buttery smooth), but I've played enough (acclaimed) games with way longer or annoying loading screens to be deterred by them in Anthem. And, as you say, optimizations are coming and the game will continue to be optimized for years to come.

There's a theory on Reddit that load time are so long because the game reads too much information from your hard drive? As I'm technologically incompetent I have no idea whether this could be a thing or if it's not: www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/arp3su/in_a_two_hour_session_the_game_read_610gb_from_my/I use software called Primocache to create caches for the hard drive where I have my games installed (E:). There's an 8GB RAM cache and a 256GB NVMe SSD. As you can see, the total read over two hours was 610GB. Battlefield V would probably be abound 30GB over the same time. These are two different types of game, but the difference in drive reads is astounding. This makes me wonder if the game is unloading too many files from memory between levels.
Edit: I restarted the game and wandered around the fort for 20 minutes talking to people, 36GB read.

Sadly I'll have to wait as my laptop can't hold the games power. See you in a week though. I'd love to be able to play an ocarina! They sound beautiful! Though I am not musically talented....and thus I fear frustration would set in quickly and I would feel as though I'd wasted my money as it may soon become an unfortunate novelty. But I would love to get my hands on one and learn to play it....I like the axe/clamshell shaped one.

Quick question - how do you acquire new wear states in the game? I have old, and I have dirty, but no option for "clean".

Quick question - how do you acquire new wear states in the game? I have old, and I have dirty, but no option for "clean". They're rewards for different achievements or goal completions. For example, you gain a clean state as a reward for earning Freelancers loyalty (together with some metal colors for each faction and stage). Tap whichever button you use to open the Journal and go to Challenges tab - you can see rewards you gain for each challenge/achievement that got completed as well as progress towards completion. That includes Factions.

No, they mentioned some time ago that they've locked some customization options behind good old RPG progression That also includes new animations (there's one I see for 3rd stage of Sentinel loyalty, for example), vinyls, banners and so on.

I like the old state, fits my head canon on what a Freelancer's Javelin will look like …

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but, is there no way to tackle multiple quests in one go? Do I always have to launch an expedition, complete it, then head back to Tarsis to choose another one? 'cause that only wastes time and kills any sense of exploration. While I don't particularly hate my time on Tarsis (how could I when it's the only part of the game that advances the story in any meaningful way?), I think there should be a way to take on multiple missions on the field, thereby minimizing the need to return to Tarsis, with the subsequent reduction in loading screens. It should be obvious by now that the sheer amount of loading screens everywhere make playing this game a bit of a chore. It's definitely not a seamless world like you'd find in, say, Skyrim or Odyssey, but right now I'd settle for something similar to SWTOR.
As for Ft. Tarsis, I'm 6 hours into the game and I'm already some kind of Freelancer star? I've likely played less than 20 expeditions in total, I'm level 7 at best, and that's all it took to convince the people of this place that the Freelancers are great? These people swing like a pendulum. I'm not asking for the extreme opposite, like in Odyssey, where some 60 hours in, and after becoming practically a god, people still address me as Misthios and want me to find their lost pet or something. How much more story is there left if people are already coming to my side of the argument?
Also, I noticed there are a couple of radio shows you can listen to on Ft. Tarsis. Make them to-go so I can listen to something while I explore the desolate world of Anthem. I'm not asking for a full-blown radio station, Fallout-style... No, actually, that's exactly what I'm asking for. It'll certainly make exploration a little less boring than it is and perhaps make the world's repetitiveness a bit more tolerable. Furthermore, if allied NPCs on Anthem are going to be useless drones, then might as well populate the servers with a few more people. Seems like too large a world for just 4 people, but I could be wrong.

There's a theory on Reddit that load time are so long because the game reads too much information from your hard drive? As I'm technologically incompetent I have no idea whether this could be a thing or if it's not: www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/arp3su/in_a_two_hour_session_the_game_read_610gb_from_my/I use software called Primocache to create caches for the hard drive where I have my games installed (E:). There's an 8GB RAM cache and a 256GB NVMe SSD. As you can see, the total read over two hours was 610GB. Battlefield V would probably be abound 30GB over the same time. These are two different types of game, but the difference in drive reads is astounding. This makes me wonder if the game is unloading too many files from memory between levels.
Edit: I restarted the game and wandered around the fort for 20 minutes talking to people, 36GB read.
Hm... I wonder if it's Denuvo at work. You know, that anti - tampering / DRM software EA likes to use with new games. It introduces additional I/O to compare what's in memory versus what is on the drive.
