Anthem Twitter Thread

It's t-t-t-t-t-theorecraftin' time!

Here's hoping it's a solid fix to the load screen bug

EDIT: I've been seeing on reddit that this patch may have actually been intended to release as early as the first day of the VIP demo; meaning it may not contain the load screen glitch. People are saying that the patch includes stability fixes. I think I'll wait till BioWare confirms that it's actually a fix for the load bug. Personally, if they can't get it fixed by tomorrow, then they should just delay the open demo.

There is some incorrect information floating around there about the @anthemgame open demo this weekend. Dates are still 2/1 - 2/3 as originally planned.

soooo y is it ps4 is the only one not getting to play early not cool ): with this game was fair guess I’ll have to watch them play it for a week first ):

Jonathan Warner @bio_Warner
A lot of newer followers so it is worth repeating. EA Access for PS4 is completely out of our hands and is a negotiation between EA and Sony. If it were up to me we would ALL play on the same day.

Sony needs to get it's shit together.

Explain why should Sony get their act together. 

People being unable too play at all when others can seems like a bigger problem to me.

Hello Anthem Community!

Thanks for being here!

We’re hard at work to be ready for our public demo weekend, starting tomorrow, 2/1. This week has been focused on improving the player experience in the demo – that focus was based on our learnings and your feedback. For those of you that played last weekend, you should see significant improvement in multiple areas over last week.

While we are confident that these changes will improve this weekend’s experience for players, we’re also cognizant that we may see recurring and new issues. Our team will again be working around the clock to deal with any problems that arise so that all players can enjoy the game. As always, you can use Answers HQ for help.

Our ongoing scale testing this week has gone well. We’re confident we are ready for the load we will see. Like last weekend, we will be prepared with more server capacity than we anticipate will be needed. However, predicting player numbers – particularly for a new game like Anthem in its first open public weekend – is very difficult. If more players decide to try the game than we anticipate, we also have systems in place to control entry rates of incoming players. This is to ensure players in the game are having uninterrupted fun and to give us time to increase capacity. If you encounter this situation, we hope you’ll be patient with us and try again later. We’ll have messaging on our servers on our server status page.

I mentioned earlier in the week that we’ve also been preparing for many weeks for our full launch. That version of the game already has a long list of things that are already fixed that did not make our demo weekends. It includes:

Further performance Improvements
Additional stability fixes
Fixes to inscriptions showing up incorrectly
Fixes to inscriptions from other Javelins being chosen
Fixes to disappearing customization settings
Fixes to XP gain behavior
Audio improvements
Improvements to PC controls, including flight and aiming
A Social Hub: The Launch Bay
And a few thousand more (literally)…

One additional comment based on what we’ve been asked on Twitter. If you are a returning VIP demo player, you’ll keep your progression from VIP weekend. That includes your Javelins, pilot level, and all gear, weapons, and customizations.

I hope to see everyone in the game starting Friday. Lastly, please be kind to the grabbits!

Stronger Together!

Chad

Dateline Monday, 4 Feb 2019:

Over 8 million Grabbits killed, murdered, slaughtered, annihilated, roasted, burned, bombed, shot, zapped, frozen, shocked, baked, destroyed, vaporized.

Well done Anthem players ... Stronger Together indeed.

But, again, EA and Sony have been apart on this for years.  It's not just a one-off access grant, it's about the EA Access service being allowed on PSN.  

Has anyone seen the stupid comments about this schedule of when you can play the game.
