Great concept arts

JBromenschenkel @hydro2900
Does the gear mean the masterwork/legendary support pieces?

Andrew Johnson @untdrew
Not support. Those are different.


shinobi602 @shinobi602
Good stuff! Has there been any comments on rolling the melee weapons at the shop? I swear I’ve traded in crystals about a dozen times straight and not once gotten a Ranger melee lol.

Andrew Johnson @untdrew
Yeah, that's unlucky. The War Chests are completely random (despite some of the conspiracy theories to the contrary).
However, you still have tonight to utilize the daily Cataclysm Challenge to get at least one Melee for the Ranger.
To answer your question though, yes, we have heard that feedback on the randomness specifically.


Billy Williams @twistedpro_
Yyyyyeeeeeeessssssss
Storm outfit time
Also when will we be getting the new weapons? Can they drop in the new gear chest?

Andrew Johnson @untdrew
Not yet.

Jos Hendriks @sjosz
So fun seeing people dive into the Anthem Cataclysm content and find secrets and things I helped put in. Satisfying to see work being enjoyed.

Jesse Anderson @darokaz
I'm heading to @gamescom next week! Who will I be seeing?

Ben Irving @benirvo
After 8 amazing years at BioWare I have made the decision to move on and have accepted an exciting opportunity at another gaming company. Since the first time I played Baldurs Gate many many years ago, BioWare was the dream place I always wanted to work.

I will forever be grateful to all the people who gave me the chance to work on great products with amazing people. I believe Anthem has a bright future - there is a great team working on it and I look forward to following its progress (and playing it!) from the sidelines.

I have really enjoyed interacting with the Anthem community - Streams, Twitter and Reddit. Through the good times and the tough times. You all are in great hands with @darokaz and @untdrew (and have been for some time now). I wish nothing but the best for all of you. Ben.

I declare with a straight face that Anthem is better than The Division 2 right now

Chris Schmidt @nighguy
We worked really hard on content which we thought would surprise and delight fans while trying something a little different. Lots of ongoing work to do, and it's not the 'fix everything' patch, but a sign of what the team is capable of delivering. Check it out! #AnthemGame

Andrew Johnson @untdrew
A new event called "The Castle Kelrik," Support gear War Chests, new Inversions and more in this week's Cataclysm changes.

Details in the new Community Cortex: answers.ea.com/t5/News-Updates/Community-Cortex-August-20-Cataclysm-Update/m-p/8133209/highlight/true#M17



Just so it's "Crystal" clear...

Gear War Chests are leaving tomorrow. Get 'em while they're hot (i.e. If you still need Gear).

Andrew Johnson @untdrew
Good morning. 🔰

Chris Anderson @postmodernlocke
Hmm, I think I have a few Anthem PC codes for various regions around the world to give away...

I should really get on that.


Chris Anderson @postmodernlocke
I have a bunch more of these, but I'll wait until later in the day and probably in to the evening.

Jos Hendriks @sjosz
I guess it's "audio folks working on Gollum-esque barf sounds with the door open" o clock.
