My trash-clearing powerhouse build with a storm, is with the fireball and firestorm seals. They both recharge so fast, I can go through an entire stronghold without using a gun once. Just fully charge the fireball attack, which doesn't take very long, and it has an excellent AoE detonation.

The best thing about colossus is that if you're max level you can go into the forge and just like magic, turn into a storm

Because people being fully geared faster is such a huge issue for a game with no economy or PvP. Imagine if Nintendo banned streamers for using glitches in their Mario64 runs. That's how pretty it is.

Well we will just agree to disagree then. Besides its a moot point because they got unbanned like few hours later. And they are all still streaming the poo poo out of this game 24/7

the only reason a developer for a co-op only game bans people for "exploiting the economy" is if they plan on monetizing whatever was circumvented by the "exploit", or if they have a fragile ego and are petty and vindictive and from what I've heard about the dysfunction at the management level at bioware these days, I'd say it's a coin flip between the two

That person was almost certainly just banned as damage control. The exploit isn't bad for the game (although ladders are coming, so the exploiters will have advantages there -- guaranteed the first person who does the 150,000 rep challenge will have done it by exploiting contracts), but it makes the game look bad. You don't want a bunch of streamers exploiting embarrassing broken poo poo all day and broadcasting it to the world, as a company.

Ahahahahaha, you clearly know nothing about twitch. Anthem fell off a loving cliff in terms of viewer and stream count DURING launch day and never recovered. It's a flaming pile of poo poo in terms of twitch popularity for a new game. Top stream right now has 2k viewers. Not saying anything about the game itself, I haven't played it, but it's definitely nowhere near popular on twitch.

Forget Diablo 2, Destiny 2 launched with lovely watered down loot drops in 2017 and mostly had itemization fixed in 2018. There's a current, popular, successful contemporary which already went through this poo poo. Oh, and Division, along similar time lines. Anthem's poorly designed systems are not excusable, loot in these games has already been largely solved by other games.

You don't want a bunch of streamers exploiting embarrassing broken poo poo all day and broadcasting it to the world, as a company. Sure, ban if they're showing exploits in a competitive situation, but I've never heard of a ladder than uses your current gear. Which means Bioware can patch the exploit before ladders are released. Hell, we don't know if the first content release is going to bump up item-levels, rendering current loot farming pointless. And if your viewers are watching dull-rear end streams of people farming loot in the most boring way possible, then you might have already lost the war.

Yeah, banning for exploits, especially in a PVE game, is dumb. Even Bungie knew this. The loot cave was the best thing that ever happened to Destiny's development because it taught them that players will rally behind events that shower them with loot. Turn the Masterwork knob back to 11, make unique loot for Stongholds and have like the +extra loot Stronghold of the day, let people reroll Legendaries. Also give people a taste of Masterworks earlier in the game. That's my armchair dev guide to saving Anthem thanks for reading.

Agree I think they had the balance better at PC pre release or whatever it was. The first week. Most of my good loot is from that weekend when I hit 30. The last week has been poo poo. Thats one way to ruin your game is poo poo loot in a loot and shoot. Peechka fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Feb 27, 2019 |

Im sure they have their in house metrics of people falling off because of the loot poo poo. I know im playing this less and less. I log in and do my 3 legendary and maybe complete the daily if I feel like it. There is no point to play if you get poo poo for your time.

Roman posted:I played a bunch yesterday and after seeing nothing but purples (after I earlier got 2 worse rolls of the same MW mod I already had) I lost motivation. Sure could use that blog post right about now, especially since Warframe just dropped an update that looks really good. The loot is all poo poo anyway. Maybe you will find one good nugget among the 100 or so turds this game spits out at you at a glacial pace. I keep getting the same poo poo over and over, with poo poo rolls over and over, nothing that even remotely helps my build. In fact some of the purps I have are better, but you end up losing so much armor/shield/survivability its not worth it.

I somehow managed to get three legendary drops out of four purp contracts on gm1 and polished off the night with gm2 mines (took 2 hours and had at least 20 revives) where I proceeded to get two duplicate mw ranger components. I don't understand how this game works but I do know gm2 is not for me.

I think the fact that they didn't have these loot discussions before this weekend was the real warning sign for this game, even if this update is good. Like, loot is the major focus of this game and no one sat down and said anything like "Hey, does this system work?"

I'm still 95% convinced that it was fixed by the designers months ago, and the system in place now is just a rough placeholder that the programmers haven't had a chance to swap out. This game screams "rushed development" like nothing I've ever seen, not even Fallout 76.

At the end of the day its a loving PvE game for christ sake. Its not like us getting loot will break anything, maybe people will like to feel powerful? Hmmm? maybe people will finally wade into GM2 or GM 3 more if they buff that poo poo even more? Untill they finally get some new content in here. which will probably be a while.
