0.0 Bioware have work to do on the game before they add the Cataclysm imo. A stat screen, loot fixes ... the foundation stuff. I'd rather they work on this than try and keep their May promises. Found the details I read in the leak: "Bug fixes - QoL improvements (A patch with both bug fixes and QoL improvements is ready but is being held back to allow for at least some new content). - Multiple new strongholds - A stat screen - Cataclysm - Mastery System replacement (I am told it may or not be called the Mastery System) - Guilds - Leaderboards - New story - New lore - New Freeplay content - New missions - New challenges - New enemies - New loot system - Balance changes - Yes, new Javelin ideas are being tossed around. The team is NOT yet working on new Javelins. - A pilot level increase is being discussed" Just a rumor by the looks of it. And it's mostly a copy-paste of the failed Road map. So the rumor is they work to deliver...the things they said they want to deliver?

They couldn't even get simple updates right the first time, wand now in a month and a half, they have everything at once done? Nah. Also, I really hope they don't increase the pilot level. This makes all the legendary stuff we've accumulated up until this point useless and we have to do it all over again.

Welcome to the wonderful world of online gear grind games 😁 I understand they want to make further progression possible at some point. But rendering all accumulated achievements useless just for a meaningless crutch such as pilot level, is probably gonna send me over the edge. I think that is the one thing that'll stop me playing. And I get it's supposed to be a grind game, but they have waaaaaaaay more other options that they can use to keep people playign / need to fix first. For example, it would make a LOT more sense if they would let us grind out our inscriptions (e.g if you have a ponder infinity with 150% damage, and you find another ponder infinity, you can consume that one for 5% extra inscriptions).

These goals are self evident over a ten year period. Nothing new here and we've seen it before. My reaction? ... meh
What is more interesting is the EA Play invitations to some Game Changers. They will be shown new "stuff". ... upcoming "stuff".... wow "stuff"... all of which won't be ready for us mundanes by June 8.
Poor Sofa will be disappointed when May 30th comes around and Cataclysm is a no show. If Cataclysm is a show on May 30th, why invite the Game Changers for EA Play? makes no sense. Plus, I bet a dollar to a donut that the GCs can't give us a time table nor saying anything other than ... "the team is working on wow stuff", or "I saw wow stuff", "amazing new stuff".... this "stuff" is better than a sleeping pill.
It's probably a cheaper way to market Anthem. Though, I really doubt they can generate the necessary interest and anticipation to do anything positive to bring back the players that left.
To quote the guy in the WH... "so sad".

Your reaction is pretty much "meh" to anything Anthem-related so no shock there... Since I actually like the game, I'm pretty damn excited for new content and whatever improvements/QoL adjustments they can make.

It's not my goalpost to move but I'm going with it... And yes, objectively it has moved, but hopefully not too far and there is sign of activity at least.

Whelp,...maybe Bioware filled those job positions and hired some kickass talent that got the job done in weeks in what the original team couldn't get done in months..... ...we'll see...Anthem is not my type of game. but i don't want to see Bioware fail either....i would just like for them to get back to making great SP content and hopefully they can regain their "magic" and give us a proper ME game that reflects the trilogy in terms of story and character depth..

I'm not sure "how" I could have forgotten, but I did. The vids I watched last night and showed the legendary/masterwork weapons are what I want/need. Some of the Masterwork/Legendary attributes are literally game-changing... Well, I played for close to 4 hours last night and got in a few strongholds and finished one of the new story lines. Think I"m almost level 26 at this point. When I finished the story mission I caught a glimpse of a drop I'd never seen before, yep, masterwork, my first one. It ended up being the Artinia's Gambit. You were so right!!! That thing is 100 times better than any weapon I'd received before. It shredded every enemy I encountered. So, instead of my usual hovering and fire balling or freezing everything I'd just stay grounded and melt them with this weapon! I know I'm not in the GM levels yet, and not even level 30, but damn, what a rush that was to finally get a weapon that makes me forget about my elemental powers. I'm not sure why a masterwork dropped at my level, but might have been due to finishing the last story mission for Yarrow.

It certainly makes me want to play more now. I still don't think many people are playing as when I'd launch missions myself I'd be by myself. These were in "hard" level. When I joined strongholds it was the same 3-4 people for each instance. Hopefully more will come back after the stream today, assuming we hear some really good news!!!

Just watched the livestream. Interesting that certain types of loot will only be available in particular weeks so, I assume that means that if you miss the week, you have no chance of getting melee slots or MW support gear or whatever they're pushing that week. Seems a bit harsh! Hopefully they'll cycle or something as it would be pretty bad if, by the end of the event, some people will never be able to match up to the people who played it.

As we're a week from the end of May, I'm expecting new content to drop next week that will pave the way to the Cataclysm that BioWare has been working on. What do you expect will drop next week and how extensive a thing do you expect Cataclysm to be? So I just watched the live stream and I don't know how I feel yet. All levels of players can access the Cataclysm and I assume the loot you receive from it are based on your level, your overall score at the end and whether you beat Vera. That part was confusing as it sounded like the first available loot would be vanity stuff. It looked they made it so Jesse wouldn't die while he was flying around/playing. That red bar certainly went down fast when he exited the safe zone. I'm wondering how annoying that'll be in the end. Timer, why?????? I guess they added it to trigger better loot if you do things quickly and complete all the objectives in that time frame. Timers in general suck though as I like to take my time. In the end I guess "taking my time" will just result in not getting the best loot. Hell, I'm just happy with my first ever masterwork I got!! There's going to be a PTS for PC only for a week or 2 weeks and then they immediately want to launch the Cataclysm. That makes no sense and was the same way Ubisoft did it for TD1. They leave themselves no time to make any changes that were recommended or to correct any technical issues that came up during the event. Game companies just never learn. So, they said a 1 or 2 week PTS and then the 6 week event. Why only 6 weeks? Do we keep the loot we earn as a result of the event? Does our level stay the same or is it only applicable to this event? They also said gear would drop up to 5 levels higher, that what, normal levels? The reason I ask is that I think there won't be new weapons per se, but event versions of them 5 levels higher. Clarification would be great for anyone else who watched the stream. In the end I just want a way to mark a location on the map (waypoint) and I want events to also be displayed, or at least a verbal indication that you're near one as you're flying/walking/running around.

All levels of players can access the Cataclysm and I assume the loot you receive from it are based on your level, your overall score at the end and whether you beat Vera. That part was confusing as it sounded like the first available loot would be vanity stuff. I didn't get any hints about vanity loot. My take was it was just like any other mission, if you are on a lower pilot level you get lower level items that are based on your pilot level. He said he was on god-mode since they were just there to show the area rather than actually play the content. I'm also a little concerned about the timer aspect but they did say it could be done pretty easily if you take the shortest path. You get to choose how much extra stuff you want to do and by beating it you get extra time added on. That way the casual players can still complete it but the players who want a challenge and to compete on the leader board can find ways of getting higher scores by doing extra stuff. The extra stuff is where the timer will really start to matter, I suspect. Not, necessarily. They give a few weeks for the feedback but that doesn't mean they can't take extra time to apply that feedback before releasing the final product (unless I missed that bit!) Six weeks sounds like a pretty long time, to me. It's an event so there has to be a finite end to it. I'm sure we'll keep the loot. I can't see the point of having to do all that work as well as spending in game gold and not being able to keep it. Seemed pretty clear, they even quoted the levels: 66 for Masterwork, 76 for Legendary. Yeah, markers would be nice, although the question marks and the fast travel are a step forwards.

As we're a week from the end of May, I'm expecting new content to drop next week that will pave the way to the Cataclysm that BioWare has been working on. What do you expect will drop next week and how extensive a thing do you expect Cataclysm to be? Timer, why?????? I guess they added it to trigger better loot if you do things quickly and complete all the objectives in that time frame. Timers in general suck though as I like to take my time. In the end I guess "taking my time" will just result in not getting the best loot. Hell, I'm just happy with my first ever masterwork I got!! I'm guessing it will be somewhat like survival in TD1. Where you can go for quick extraction but little loot and low score or extend your time for that godly score and better loot.

So the best loot will drop from an activity that is time gated in a period of 6 weeks. Think about what this means - Anthem's endgame being a time gated event... Just let the thought sink in. See any issues?
No way this remains as they plan. Would be a monumental screw up in the history of looter shooters. Time gated event for cosmetics? Sure. But for the best endgame gear? What the actual fuck?
I am certain Bioware is very well aware of all this. If not, well... Anyway, I can see it unfolding in several directions. One way is that the event will remain permanent. Other option is to give it a better chance to drop loot and the same type of loot to be applied to all activities, maybe even right after the event, with a smaller drop chance.
But if this remains as currently explained, then I can only see it as a desperate attempt to get back players with the "get it now or never" bait. Which worked wonderfully for other games like...never? But I might be wrong because SWTOR does time limited events (cosmetic/exp rewards only) and Bioware might be seeing a player surge there during the events. But this doesn't apply to Anthem and exclusive endgame gear rewards. If anything it will only annoy the players more. And not to mention it sounds like the rewards will be in a form of a random "loot box". Because that also worked so well for SWTOR, amirite?
