The Grabbit Den! The Anthem Twitter Discussion Thread

Jos Hendriks @sjosz



And now to start catching up with friends on PS4.

With this kind of project (and it just starting) I don't think we can tell how much things changed/got cut and how much we're going to potentially see in the future (btw. did you find the turtle in Freeplay, Hrungr?)

Also... why Forget Earth is in Comic Sans...? BIOWARE!!

Some of those things can still be added in the future like the apartment (but not that big since the Fort is just a small outpost, also I hope for some bathrooms in Tarsis Bioware. It would also be nice to have some of those concepts for javelins being added to the game.


There is always some turtles swiming around the river, close to the waterfall, in the Valley of Tarsis.

"Ignore"? Do you have any indication that anybody is ignoring anything? Perhaps it's just a type of bug that it simply takes some time to fix?

But what makes you think the twitter guys are blantantly ignoring the tweet?

Bioware, listen to me. I know at least someone over there might see this, because I got it on good authority that several of you lurk around here. 

Your starting to make me look like a fool Bioware. I keep raving about this game to friends and co-workers. I keep telling people how much fun this game is despite the absolute avalanche of crap this game is getting. The biggest thing the community is asking for is loot. REASONABLE loot. We are all desperate for this one thing that will help us - your biggest supporters - hang in there playing this mess of a game. And all we get in return is radio silence. Obviously, the problem has shown itself to be something you can fix very quickly. Hell, you've fixed the problem by accident twice now. The argument of the economy taking months to flesh out and get the right feel is unacceptable. We've experienced economy balance now, we know what it feels like when the loot drops are good. Most importantly, we know what it feels like when playing this game feels good. Don't distract us. Right now I don't care about you guys filming new scenes for a story mode. I don't care about the level 1 default rifles being glitched and you convincing us that it's a bug not a feature. Right now I care about not having this games entire player base abandon ship once Division 2 comes out. In the next few months? Most of the hardcore players will be gone because Loot is just unacceptable.  

There's someone in the room saying that improving loot will lead to people being geared faster and then they'll leave. Its short sighted but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some passionate arguments going on at bioware. This is honestly the only reason I can think of, that would prevent them from making this VERY popular accidental change permanent. The glowing praise the game gets every time this "accident" happens should be all the proof they need to see. Bioware even IF people gear up and leave, they would at least be leaving for a positive reason, and be willing to return when new content drops. Right now people are leaving for bad reasons, reasons that make people a lot less willing to come back. People are largely willing to accept minor bugs here and there, and understand that content will come over time. However the end game loop of farming loot is in such a bad state it just completely crushes the end game fun, and the worst part is that it could be wildly fixed instantly (as we've already seen two accidental "fixes" implemented and then horrifically removed). Yet here we are.


The amount of time I'm putting in has dropped drastically since I hit the end game. I'm not about to stop playing yet, but you need to do something. Not in a few months, either.

I checked with the team and there was indeed a bug that was causing Masterwork Embers to have lower drop rates than intended. Team is working on a fix to get drop rates back up to what they were before the 1.0.3 update. #AnthemGame

Thank you
