Wait?...BioWare is creating merchandise based on their IP?! That's so weird...they never do that!
Also, I think there is 2 or 3 more threads you forgot to link the game awards in...
Really, there is no need to be defensive.
Come on, my dude...there is some legit stuff to criticize/side eye BioWare for in regards to "Anthem" but criticizing a plush Grabbit? This is some latent, repressed stuffed animal hatred, isn't it? Lay it on the line, what do you have against plushies?

Sigh...
My point is that Bio has no new content to offer of any significance until Anthem 2.0... enter skins to monetize the game and keep Santa's helpers busy. In the long run if skins are the only offerings.... well, what can one say?
Now, I'm of the opinion that no new major content is coming forth until Anthem 2.0. For good reason and it's understandable. But, until then, there is no hook to keep the player base playing the game... there never was and there is no point inventing one now. . Ergo, new vanity/seasonal items is one answer to the online monetization policy of EA.
Personally, I prefer studios focus on creating game playing content (ie: say new maps/levels) rather than skins for sale. How this view became a crit of a plush Grabbit is beyond my imagination.

Anthem @anthemgame The Season of Skulls has concluded! Thank you to all the Freelancers who joined in the festivities! Though the spectral fog has lifted, the days are growing colder. We'll have more to share on the upcoming Icetide seasonal event in the near future.

I hope the cold would come here too.. I may have attended Skullic Season ( ) too late, but what I got was nicely done!
[ LegendCNCD / AsariLoverFI ] Waiting for ME5 - Look's like sometime in 2186, everything went to hell. We got out just ahead of it! MEA & ME1 (>>>> 3 > 2) -- DAI > DAO > DA2 -- 3500h+ & maxed out all 02/2020 in MEAMP, APEX 137001+, DAIMP (555/722/200), ANTHEM, SW BF II - Drinking tears of MP lamers since DooM & Quake in 90's softknees.bandcamp.com/ Go go go! I will destroy you! Watch out! Enemies everywhere! You must die!
Hopefully there will be more to the icetide event over the skulls event
Changes made to the base workings of the game would still excite me more than any event.
Also, we already know what icetide will mostly bring:
- A winter theme in fort tarsis and the freeplay world. - New "Race" events in freeplay (no, not racial events). - Some form of score multiplier in the strongholds (oh, and secrets to find over and over and over and over again... yaaaaay. not.)
The question remains if loot will also work in a similar manner as the cataclysm (buy warchests from crystals earned), which is very likely, an dif we'll see new gear etc (unlikely?). Also, if they made further improvements to the base game.
Anthem @anthemgame Freelancers! Starting tomorrow, the Icetide season begins! The game will go into maintenance at 6AM PT/8AM CT. Full details tomorrow!

Bug Fixes & Improvements
Fixed various crashes to improve stabilization. Fixed various texture and lighting scenarios. Fixed various art collision issues that allowed players to access unintended areas. Fixed various audio issues. Fixed multiple breadcrumbing trails appearing in Freeplay. Fast Travel to the Tomb of Legionnaires is now enabled. Map pins have been updated to better communicate the ability to fast travel. Added new options to disable various parts of the UI These options are visible under Settings -> Interface -> HUD Added a tutorial for the self-respawn feature. You can respawn yourself closer to your squadmates by holding down the R3 button The Colossus can no longer become stuck in cages within Temple of Scar. The Sunken Cell stronghold mission now correctly appears above the Heart of Rage mission in the journal. Resolved an issue causing the Forge Menu to not appear while in the Forge Screen. Fixed an issue that allowed the Synchronized Frame to trigger without an enemy being hit. The Ranger Combo Augment component craft recipe now displays "Impact Combo Damage". Fixed an issue causing Incremental Archives to not spawn as often as expected. Fixed an issue preventing the fog wall from vanishing after the objective is completed in Temple of Scar. Forge Icons for Barrage, Garroter, and Stampede have been updated to match the default color scheme of the javelin. Increased the health of the generators for the Sleeping Titan event. Legendary Fortress of Dawn now spawns its chest and finishes appropriately. Fixed an issue where Balm of Gavinicus was incorrectly dealing damage on impact. Fixed an issue causing Rainmaker to fire more projectiles than intended. Dev Note: This bug was causing a large imbalance in weapon selection among players due to it essentially being almost 200% stronger than intended. This fix puts it back in line with its expected damage output. The Rainmaker should still be a viable weapon and the fix shouldn't disrupt any current play styles and hopefully makes other weapons more viable choices.
Andrew Johnson @untdrew FYI, we're still running server maintenance this morning. You should be able to download the update now, but we'll let you know when servers are back up so you can jump in and start playing. Here are some Grabbits to look at while you wait. 😉
Doing the HoR seasonal stronghold, had two in a row, where everyone in the pug group got at least one server disconnect.
In my second HoR, when I tried to rejoin the match, after many loading screens, I got a "you were removed from the server" message.
Also … not BioWare's fault … too many folks treating it like a regular stronghold and ignoring the bonus tasks (not really puzzles). About half the folks are trying to do the bonus tasks, while the other half seem oblivious … so the segment completes, eliminating further progress on the bonus tasks.
Seems like it's difficult to exceed the 3.5M points on GM3 w/o completing any bonus events … or perhaps only one out of four?
Judging by the score, you will probably be able to exceed it if you do at least two bonus tasks … maybe three on GM3.
GM2 might require all four to exceed 3.5M.
Of course, that assumes I've counted correctly. One on the initial segment (red notes). One with the Titan (four weights). One with the furies and echoes (five echo holders … some initially hidden by rock crystals which you need a bomb to break). One on the first segment with the Monitor … which you can't complete once someone has gone down to the arena floor.
