In Fort Tarsis, I looked at my shadow on the ground as I walked, and cringed at the animation of the shadow walking. Who walks like that?
What happened to all the motion captures that Shepard had in ME1? (Granted, it was a already degraded by ME2).

Killed all the named titans and got the vinyl. Also did 2 strongholds and got 6 masterworks including one item that resets the ultimate when you healt bar drops too much and one stick grenade that creates cryo explosions. Also got my first crash to desktop on the game.

Well, it's been 3 days... That means: Story time! I'm goign to do story before and after patch though, because it's been... different.
Before the patch: Well on Friday and Saturday I generally had a good time. I must say though. I've been running end game content for a bit now, and I've started to run in the bugs everybody keeps talking about: sound bug, missions not completing, strongholds dissapearing from being able to select it... I now understand the outrage more. But most of all, I understand the limited amount of endgame content, especially if my strongholds are no longer selectable (well, I can do heart of rage but... yeah). That said, I did switch to grandmaster II, and to my surprise, it was not that bad, in fact, it was way easier than I had been led to believe. I even did a tyrant mine with only me and one other guy! Man, that was one of the most special things I had experienced in the game. The other colossus was rigged for flamethrower / coil, and I was rigged for single target damage freezing. Together we blew. shit. up. nicely in team always. Good fun. Also, I seemed to consistently get more masterworks on GM2, where as on GM1 I was having shitty luck.
But then... the patch hit.
After the patch: I loaded up and it was like playing on a xbox 360. framerate dropped to like, 20? (on an xbox x), and sound crackled everywhere. Not just that, but I was doing legendary contracts on GM1, and getting owned! What? Before, I had a really strong build, with lots of shield boosts, and could pretty much hover in GM1 without too much to worry about, but now I was continuously getting shot out of the sky. On GM1. Really weird. I rebooted the XB1X and that solved the sound crackle and framerate issue (thank god because that was NOT playable). I also unequipped and re-equipped all my gear, and started up a freeplay because that was in their patch notes. Then requipped properly and tried GM2 again. My lord was I getting owned now. It was like they completely redid GM2. Suddenly, my shields meant nothing anymore, my damage was abysmal, and I kept getting the suckiest of sucks in my team which really turned GM2 in the most frustrating affair, while it was nothing of the sort before. So, the question: did they do something to rebalance shields / damage / GM2 to before the patch? (on a side note, it does feel a lot more challenging now, and feels like how GM2 should be like... maybe I'm just sour that I breezed through it before the patch and lost that power now...).
But all of that was not as frustrating as the following: The goddamn ability to respawn. I mean, seriously bioware, you allow us to respawn, but upon respawning, I'm completely closed off from my team by a barrier? WTF? Even after they won the battle, I still couldn't join them. This is BS, you need to fix this fast. And people no longer attempt to revive you because they know you canrespawn anyway. I know this was a hotfix, but it was poorly implemented.
Lastly, the patch's good things: - I like they re-numbering of the item's powers. It makes more sense now. - universal components also have masterworks, nice!! - components seem to have better inscriptions - a lot of bug fixes - start up missions from anywhere in fort tarsis (although the icon on the left of your screen is ugly and needs to be changed). - some nice MW weapon buffs, although they are still useless compared to gear on GM2.
Anyway, running on GM2, you do sometimes bump into cool teamwork buddies, and get a lot more masterworks (for me, at least), so that is the fun times I will rememebr from the weekend.

A pity that they didn't change the rewards for There Be Giants (if you already killed them all the first time around) I am also reaching kind of a critical frustration threshold/limit (having such bad luck getting MW items even though I have enough luck equipped) right to the point were I think why should I even bother with higher difficulties when I don't get the appropriate loot... other than that I still have a blast trying out all the different gear (abilities) on the different javs (working on the gear master challenges) oh and quickplay works way better now for me and I like that they included quickplay strongholds

I am also reaching kind of a critical frustration threshold/limit (having such bad luck getting MW items even though I have enough luck equipped) right to the point were I think why should I even bother with higher difficulties when I don't get the appropriate loot... I feel your pain. Only a handful of MWs all weekend and every single one was a duplicate with worse rolls than what I already had. Did manage to pull one Legendary.. but it was a pistol I will never use. Maybe RNGeezus will bless me today. Still need Divine Vengeance to finish my Ranger build. Have yet to see that drop, but I've salvaged so many other weapon duplicates. It's frustrating. And I play everything on GM1, so really thought that would increase my chances.

My post patch experience on PC was that they nerfed GM1 and GM2 considerably. Everything dies real fast now, except some Legendary mobs in GM2. They did bump the damage you take as well because I used to not be that squishy on GM1, but it doesn't matter since enemies don't survive as long as before. I suspect there is some difference between the PC and console versions of Anthem. Most of the reported good drop rates thus far are from console players and the examples of bad drop streaks seem to be from PC players. And now on PC GM1 and GM2 are a joke and very easy to play, but reports on consoles say they are tougher than before. Maybe GM2 was overtuned for PC before and not as much for consoles, who knows.

My post patch experience on PC was that they nerfed GM1 and GM2 considerably. AFAIK they didn't touch GM2/3 specifically. What they did do was give large buffs to every javelin in the form of increased melee, combo, ult, and proc damage (the last one was buffed so much that procs on at least two abilities: Sudden Death and Venomous Blaze, now do more damage than the base ability damage). At full MW gear, all of the previously mentioned things do something like 5-8x more damage now vs pre-1.03. They also buffed a bunch of MW weapons but that's pretty minor in comparison.

Can definitely testify for melee being ridiculous compared to before. Had an Interceptor build prepatch with 100% extra melee from inscriptions and stacked melee components. Damage sucked. Big time. Post patch went in GM2 with a sniper Interceptor build, no melee buffs to speak of. I was shredding stuff with melee. It was the thing that dealt the most damage. Haven't tried my old melee build yet, but it will probably be OP as hell now.

My melee interceptor went from not viable at all with randoms in GM2 to about as efficient as it was in GM1 pre-patch.

Seems they changed stuff during a night/day, yesterday I soloed GM2 Freeplay easy peasy, even GM3 was doable, tonight GM2 felt rather hard again... Or maybe it was me and I sucked tonight... Both optiopns are viable.

Post by PillarBiter on Mar 12, 2019 7:38:11 GMT
nice, ima try that later.
On topic: Today in anthem. Ran my legendaries last night. I run on GM1 since it doesnt matter what difficulty you do it on if you're just in it for the component. And I still miss 2 masterwork components I need (universal shield MW and storm combo augment MW). I got nothing but epics otherwise. Then I wanted to do some GM2 because last time I played GM2 (before the patch) I was getting MW's like crazy, but at this time I had not yet figured that was due to the crazy hours before the patch. SO. Tried to quickplay into a dungeon, but ended up in a bugged out mission where scalos fight wouldn't initiate. Got out of there. Tried another quick play session where I had a team that would just not work together. So I bailed after our second wipe on the first wave of tyrant mine. Started new sessions (no quickplay) on GM2, and they were the most unrewarding slogs I have yet played. I mean, it was a hard fight, and both runs had pretty good teams, so it was fun and all, but if you don't feel like all of that was for SOMETHING at least, if you don't feel like you are a little bit better off afterwards than before, I now understand the critics and outrage more.
Seriously, bioware may need to adress this rather quick because I feel like I'm starting to turn over to the dark side I'm already thinking of no longer playing since the chance of me getting something better is next to nothing. If legendary drops are indeed 1% chance... That's too low to continue for me. I just dont have the time to pump the hours in, nor do I want to at such a rate.
Also, fix the fact that I can't select temple of the scar, dammit!
And the last thing I want to be a little bitch about: the tyrant mine boss. Now I can understand the health bloat on GM2, it needs to be a more "difficult" than lower difficulties. But I want to talk about it's spitting attack. That is bullshit. Now, my fellow storm users will understand, there is no worse status effect than fire or webbed. Being unable to hover as a storm feels (quite literally) like having your wings clipped. The spitting attack... is it instant hitscan or soemthing? I mean, I usually hover above the boss and lay into him/her/it with my avenging herald, and to keep safe, I try to stay behind it. However, for the spitting attack that does not seem to matter. I will be behind and above the boss, and if it's intent is to hit me, it will hit. No matter how much I dodge, and - worse - I don't even SEE the projectiles coming at me. It just instantly puts me in webbed status. This is extremely frusttrating and -frankly- bs. because it shuts ot any chance of "gittin'gud" being an option.
Anyway, that was me spewing my gall for today. I think I'll keep to GM1 again until they fix the loot. Because GM2 is - although in terms of damage received I think it is at a good point in terms of difficulty - the damage given was nerfed a bit too much, especially when it is as unrewarding as it is at this point.

so, yesterday in Anthem was a bit better again, ran the 3 LCs and 1 Tyrant Mine SH all on GM1 and got 9 MWs for my trouble - some of those were actually useful one question though regarding that (new?) MW universal component "energency power" - is it correct that this thing increases your armor/shields by only 149?! (all the other MW components I have grant waaaayy more armor/shields...)

(all the other MW components I have grant waaaayy more armor/shields...) Yes, they're Universal, way lower Shield/Armor gain for all javelins by design (same for lower power components, epic, rare, etc)

All together now: "USELESS!!!"
