AscendingSky Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Apparently end-game loot in Anthem is not only extremely grindy to get, but its stats are also entirely determined by RNG and often drops end up with the wrong stats for the build you're playing, or for the right build but with worse stats than what you already have despite it being allegedly 'end-game' gear. (NSFW Warning: Jim Sterling can use naughty language) A game overseen by Ben "RNG is EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!" Irving being super grindy and having randomized loot drops with terrible stat distributions that are worthless to you most of the time? Is anyone surprised by this?

DarthSpuds Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 "They fixed the fun to make it less fun". Sound exactly like SWTOR has been for 2 years. All The Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falensawino Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Fans of Anthem are organizing a Blackout from 11th to 15th March in protest of Low Loot Drops and Loot Nerfs[1] Protest to revert Loot drop changes. Bring back the Bug and let us taste the Lootshower. Stop Playing From 03/11/2019-03/15/2019 or 11/03/2019-15/03/2019 for us Europeans. to make a Point. Show them what we think by sheer player numbers alone![2] I was debating making my own topic on anthem. this protest was was called a "blackout,' was in effect from March 11th through March 15. During the player blackout, I was going to recommend giving Division 2 a try, since that game launches March 15 and the 11th was the early access period for people who purchased the Gold, Ultimate or Phoenix edition of Division 2. It would make your protest a go by a lot easier having a good looter shooter to test out. To me, Division 2, is a looter shooter that gets things right, players could give Bioware more accurate feedback on what you want to see out of Destiny, I mean, Anthem with more of those games under your belt. The second point of making my thread on Division 2 while the anthem player blackout was in effect, is to announce that AFTER march 15th, Division 2 will no longer be sold on 3rd party key distributors. The only two places to buy a legitimate game key for Division 2 is directly from Ubisoft via the Uplay store or through the exclusivity partner, Epic Games Store, that cut out all of the following digital key distribution partners with their exclusivity deal. The Division 2 to not be sold on any 3rd party sites after March 15th, following Epic's deal with Ubisoft https://uk.gamesplanet.com/game/tom-clancy-s-the-division-2-uplay--3777-1 According to Gamesplanet: Notice Hey Community! Sadly we have to announce you that Ubisoft will not allow digital third party stores, such as Gamesplanet, to sell Division 2 after its release on March 15th 2019. After this date, the game will digitally only be available through Ubisoft's Store and another exclusive digital store. This will also be true for all upcoming game content such as Season Pass, Extensions, etc. Take the opportunity to buy at Gamesplanet until March 15th 2019 and make use of the paysafecard promotion as this will be available until the game will be pulled from our stores. We won't be able to solve some support requests (e.g. key activated on the wrong Ubisoft account) after March 15th, as we won't have any more keys to exchange/swap. Please address your support requests to Ubisoft directly for such cases. Worry not, all purchases that have been completed on Gamesplanet will be honoured. This is also true for gifts, no matter if these have been picked up or not. Obviously, we are not happy about this decision. The Gamesplanet Team Hurray for competition I guess ?

Knocking out a bunch of birds with the same stone. I cut down three posts into one. -- the inventors of the modern looter shooter genre, gearbox software, makers of Borderlands series have teased an announcement with their officer twitter account. twitter.com/GearboxOfficial/status/1105543983516639232 March 28th, probably announcing Borderlands 3.

xordevoreaux Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Anthem will not be the SWTOR killer people feared it would be. At this rate, with such a level of dissatisfaction, I doubt anyone will remember Anthem existed this time next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
