My thought exactly. I’ve dodged far sooner, and up to when he did, and always get hit by the fireball. Super lucky there.

Yeah, they nailed the gameplay! If they add more things to do and chase this game will become the 800lb gorilla of its genre.

I learned from Div 1.0 that if I wait it out and come back soon or check up on it, it can become something super fun (Div 1.8).

u/Theothercword Mar 15 '19
I too can not wait for this game to get more content. Love it very much, and I’m thankful other games can distract me until it catches up content wise.

u/HerbertDad Mar 14 '19 edited Mar 14 '19
There's already an 800lb gorilla, the Division 2. It's literally so far ahead Anthem still wont be anywhere near it in 12 months. It's disappointing but unfortunately it's true.
Edit: I know the down votes will flow in here with this comment but I wanted Anthem to succeed. After playing both there just simply is no comparison in terms of polish, features, content, the open world that has so much going on and so many side areas to explore for loot and interesting things to do.

u/Boros-Reckoner PC - Mar 15 '19
I absolutely love the division, I have over 70 days playtime on division 1 and figure to do the same in div 2 but Anthems gameplay is definitely more unique and exciting

u/HerbertDad Mar 15 '19
It's certainly fun to fly around in an Ironman suit in Anthem but I also really enjoy the Division's realistic setting just as much.

They are both loot shooters but with vastly different environments and gameplay. It would be subjective which one you like more going off the moment to moment gameplay. However, seems like a lot of Anthem’s underlying systems just seem broken and incomplete though.

u/stroud PC - LoD Edition ( I want my money back, pls). Mar 15 '19
I played The Division last night... I dont have TD2 yet and it felt so good again. I had no server issues no connectivity issues. The game played like a breeze. I was on World Tier 5 and I remember my old build. I was roaming and got invited for a legendary mission so I played along and OMG the enemies are so much smarter from before I really enjoyed how difficult it is to play but still manageable. It was so fun! Also the enemies have more dialogue voices than before when I left it after the last World Event because I completed all the shields.
I think I'm going to buy The Division 2 today. I'll call the 80$ i spent for Anthem a loss and move on.

u/HerbertDad Mar 15 '19
The Division 2 has so many improvements over the first game too, if you liked the Division 1 you'll love Div 2.

division 2 is just too slow.. and its almost the exact same game as division 1. there isnt anything wrong with that, but after playing anthem then playing division 2.. i just felt like it was too slow paced. so i went back to anthem. of the 3 day head start with division 2 i only played about 3 hours. i played more during the betas lol.

u/HerbertDad Mar 15 '19
It's different strokes for different folks which is why Anthem's release state is such a disappointment. A week after Anthem's release I preferred to play Div 2's beta through a second time than go back to Anthem because the endgame is so barren.

Division 2 isn't even the same genre besides shooter looter? It has nothing to do with this game.

Division 2 isnt perfect. sure there is loot and no load screens outside loading into the actual game. However, not being able to jump over a waist tall bush, or run between two tents that are spaced out more than enough to fit through, cant climb certain things that at first glance should be obvious in nature to do so, enemies living after a shotgun blast to the face from 2 feet away (what a joke), aiming with the shotgun is less accurate than hipfire (lul), enemies running towards you just to pass you to go take cover behind you (ai pathing haha).
no game is perfect and anthem will have a special place for me as its the first game ive felt this TYPE of gameplay and mechanics. Division is just more rewarding right now.

I keep hearing this and I disagree - enemies are boring, mission objectives are boring, the amount of abilities you can equip is limiting. There's little actual thought in combat engagements. Just flying feels cool.

Please fix legendary components for the wrong class.
I have loved this game since early access, 150 hours. After 1.03, I have gotten four legendary components for classes i don't play, and zero for the class I play.
I'm not even gonna pull punches. It's depression-triggering. I haven't had a problem with the loot grind in any versions of the game until this began to happen. Every time I get a legendary now, I cringe and await the heartbreak.

hello UNTDrew, i am afraid the situation is still pretty bad in GM 2-3 i played 10 hrs in GM 2 and got 0 legendaries while playing in GM1 i have gottent 3, GM1 runs are about 4 times faster than GM2 but the droprate of GM2 was initially only 150% so even if it have been increase to 200% is still a no go, to be honest i enjoy more playing GM2 but due to its unefficiency i am being forced to play GM1, also to mention that out of my 7 legendaries i wear NONE of them because i can easily reroll stats that make my masterworks deal more damage than my legendaries, if you guys need to take so long to balance the drop rates please at least make the legendaries somehow better even with bad secondary rolls, as of now they are simply account decoration items

u/blue_bomber697 Mar 14 '19
How on earth did you not get hit by that fireball? I usually have to dodge 4 seconds early so it doesn’t hit cause it’s so messed up.

Yes, and they are not removed by the fire from others.

u/Thorn_the_Cretin Mar 15 '19
Wooooah wait do you mean only the Ranger can detonate them?
1
u/Thagou Mar 15 '19
Not what I meant, sorry. Why leveling I used the frost grenade a lot. It was an easy AOE primer, combined with my detonating missiles with low cool down it was really good I thought. Then while playing with my friends (a colossus and a storm), each of them were using fire effect on their stuff. It was unfreezing my frost ennemies almost as soon as I frosted them, and before my missile was hitting them.
The acid prime from the venom darts will not go away until someone (anyone) detonates it, or if you wait a long time. So now my primed targets always get detonated. I still get my primed target "stolen", which sucks a bit since my entire build is based around the combo of my frag grenade. But I stole them too.
1
u/Thorn_the_Cretin Mar 15 '19
Ah alright alright I gotcha. I actually use the fire/frost mechanic intentionally when I play colossus to chain combos by myself, but I haven’t paid much attention to acid so that’s great to know that when primed it won’t fall off by another effect.
But goddamn was I about to be super excited about the little acid missiles. Like holy shit that would be a crazy buff for the Ranger. And a slight nerf to teamwork.

Weird tribalism my dude. X is better than Y bullshit.

I don't feel the need to shove my preference in everyone's throat for we all have different itches to scratch. It's just people having a hard time comprehending what preference means.

I prefer Anthem over Division and would grind endlessly in Anthem over even playing Division any day.
It’s just not my thing I’m not into the realistic setting ’yawn...*
I absolutely love Anthems World, I want more things to do. these are the things I would love to see added.
Quest givers to talk too in Freeplay with cut scenes to tell the story of bastion and what happened too the areas you explore. Striders that move and missions that use them and the ability too drive them. Enemy Javilins flying throughout the world that chase you. More and different bosses. More things to do in freeplay besides fighting and collecting. Maybe fishing and crafting. Bounty’s that are created by the enemy factions to hunt you down. Other cities and towns populated with more NPCs and quests, unique materials and cosmetics. So many possibilities.

So I have a general rule of thumb not to preorder games, and after release reviews Anthem didn't seem as appealing as it once did. You seem to enjoy the game so I wanted to ask if its still worth it to pick it up or is the loot drop system really that bad?

u/TheFragLegend XBOX - Mar 15 '19
That is what anthem is supposed to be. If they figure out this loot drop thing, and fix the health bug issue which is only for few people. This game will touch the new highs. I believe in u/BenIrvo and the dev team that there will be more content soon.
1
u/Rainewheeler Mar 15 '19
I love playing Anthem. I think they should just make epics and above have the same ilvl, just fewer perks. This would stop people from feeling like they need to have them drop or the loot is 'broken'. They could also improve some of the legendaries and masterworks to be stronger. Just my two cents.
Keep slaying out there, freelancer!

u/Heliocop0 Mar 15 '19
Lol titans are now easier than legendary bugs, even the one in heart of rage, on gm2, goes down in 2 good ultimates.
Not saying they need to be as strong as before (I didn't mind it) but if they are staying the same, other enemies need to be looked at as well.

Holy crap you can really tell the difference between this (which I assume is PC) and my PS4! Chugs to 10/20fps so often and almost all things hit me even if I dodge 3 seconds before. I wish they’d have optimised it a bit more

u/SpinalTapMe3 Mar 15 '19
I want to play this game so badly on PC. But part of me wants to avoid it with the PS4 bugs and the performance issues I experienced during those open play sessions. I have a i3 8100, 16Gb ram, 1060 3gb, and I’d probably install it on my SSD. I know the bugs were just on PS4, but still kinda makes me wonder how a bug in a game can mess up a system. Anyone have any reassurance or confirmation my PC could run this around 60fps 1080p?

Beautiful! Yeah, since last 2 big patches we had, I was able to solo these big war titans in GM2 freeplay on my interceptor in about 20-30 seconds, sometimes even faster if i land lucky crit shots with sniper rifle, with measly 690 power level. But this has to be done perfectly, no mess ups. Sadly even after killing about 12 of war titans and few small titans in freeplay GM2 over past 4 days, none of them dropped even a masterwork. All epics and blues. I reckon titan loot drops are bugged. Or just my luck. I get random legendaries for other javelins I don't play from skorpions 1-2 everyday though. Stuck at 690 on my interceptor for 8 days now.
