Ok what do you all think about quitting stroking/kicking anthem 1.0 and moving to Anthem 2.0?

Sorry haven't been feeling well but with that said I'm still wondering what can Bioware do to save Anthem more story? don't think that will help sorry but the world of Anthem is small but the bad guys are quite large, I have been wondering what they could do to save the game but I'M not seeing it and don't see them doing anything to really fixing it specially if because of their short sightedness in Anthem 1.0 lets be real MMOS have more going for them in the grind department. but the biggest complaint on my part is lack of communication from them and if they think I'll pay for the game again they are sorely wrong.

While I usually don't like a lack of communication I can totally understand it in this case. No matter what they say, it will just be bashed by haters. Also they probably don't wanna promise something they can't deliver in the end (they have done that enough prior to release). So they just do their thing. And if it helps them to pull a No Man's Sky I don't mind. Obviously the sooner we see the rework the better. And hopefully once the core loot/inscription/crafting mechanics have been overhauled we get more Strongholds and such. I just wish they'd still fix some of the smaller bugs until then and finally allow private games for Legendary Missions and Strongholds so I can do those in the meantime.

Out of curiosity, from someone who hasn't really been paying attention to the travails of Anthem, what exactly is 2.0 supposed to do differently?

Regardless of what BioWare does, an inherent issue with the game will always be the fact that it’s supposed to be a “persistent” world that never really resolves itself, so that it maintains the gameplay loop that defines multiplayer looter shooters. The singleplayer aspects of the game need massive, and I mean massive adjustments to be worthwhile. There needs to be more in terms of content revolving around the characters of Fort Tarsis as well as the Freelancer. Regardless of what the endgame content entails, BioWare’s not going to get anywhere trying to chase down that Destiny rainbow. They need to do what Bungie typically fails to, to focus more on its story and characters.

It needs massive "get rid of it and the totally buggy Fort Tarsis and the loading times it causes along with it" and give us plenty of strongholds and other playable content once the core loot mechanics have been overhauled. 

I just hope we won't have to pay for it. I'm not spending money on a re-worked game that is essentially the same as one I already paid 100 dollars for. IF they do this, they'd better make it a totally free overhaul downloadable Update for everyone who purchased the original.

I don't think anyone mentioned a word about stroking anything, ego, anatomy or otherwise.....

Personally I think they should trash it and give all their focus to DA4. I think a lot of people will be looking at that game to decide rather or not BW can still be a titan when it comes to RPGs.

Well... we got new players coming into our Discord every day. Some just started out, some are returning. And seeing how much trouble I have to go through to get solo matches going even with god knows how many people on the ignore list I'd say the game is pretty much alive.

Anthem 1.0 only really got 1 thing right. As in, this-will-set-this-game-apart-from-the-competition level right. Well, maybe 2. Everything else was horrid.

Mission Design? Terrible. (Tombs!)
Story? Anemic.
Art style? Dull and generic.
Characters? May as well have not been there. They weren't cool, or unique, or special. They were just set pieces.
General pace? Loadscreen upon loadscreen upon loadscreen. Upon loadscreen.
Loot? Bad. Just poorly executed.
Gunplay? Mediocre.

Technical graphics? Pretty sweet.
Movement system? Top notch.

I do believe that you can take what Anthem did right and make something amazing. But, that would involve throwing out a lot. A lot a lot. I think a 2.0 would try to cling to many of the crap tier mechanics.

Which would be bad.
