So we know they are coming out with new maps in the future right? I think it'd be cool if they experimented with fresh new concepts outside of the "plains/mountains with things in between" thing BR games have going on right now. Ok how about the giant rear end cube from the movie CUBE. For those who haven't seen it, basically a series of regular square prisms connected above and below and on the sides. You spawn in a random part of the structure with some minimum distance from any other squad. Maybe the room to room connection types could be randomly generated: normal doorways, indestructible doors, empty hallways. There would be trap rooms, dark rooms, one way mirror rooms where people can watch you without you knowing, rooms that record other squad's voice chats in their last moments alive and play it back to you slowed and down pitched. There might be a (spoiler alert if you haven't seen the movie) an outer surface you can eventually get to and walk around on? Grenades are legendary rarity definitely. Course you wouldn't have a circle coming down on you, but you guessed it a big ANGRY cube. Caustic, Wraith and Mirage squads only.  it's battle royale with cube

I have to say it's a maximum scumbag move boxes can drop poo poo for legends you don't have unlocked, I have like half the quips for Caustic by now.

I want a map with a massive skyscraper as the central feature with large balcony type roof areas sticking out everywhere so there's some open air for airstrikes and care packages. More large indoor locations in general is all I want out of a new map, caustic needs a new playground.

I think Caustic was a weird one to paywall. If they were really greedy they'd have made Wraith and Bloodhound the ones you had to pay for

I was once champion in a game right after I was literally the first person to die in the last one. I landed just a second too late on a peacekeeper with another dude.

Some more thoughts about playing during the day EST: During the day, I'm guessing because a lot of people are playing before work or whatever, but absolutely nobody drops in the latter half of the map (relative to the drop ships starting pos). This makes hot dropping a lot more wild and unpredictable, and makes late dropping incredibly safe. Mix those two facts together and you end up with a lot more variance. Sweaty wannabe streaming stars can get popped on an unlucky Mozambique Drop just as easily as anyone else.

A Peacekeeper deciding the results of a hot drop you say? J/k I've had that kind of thing happen with other guns too. Hell last night I got punched to death after I burned an entire clip of a Gold Prowler downing a guy, I had 20 spare ammo and the downed dude's teammate rushed me and punched me out and the impact made me miss with the remaining ammo. I died. Humiliating, but a valuable lesson.

It cannot be overstated how legit of a tactic "rush them and jump kick them in the face" is even when they have a gun. People get spooked easily and flip out, even if you don't get them you've still made them run away and make poor decision points

Think of it the other way around, it would suck if the only (free) opportunities to get stuff for whichever legend you unlocked second was the piddling amount of packs you get past level 46.

I wonder if the original plan was to launch with 2 maps or more because why bother having it say "playing on kings canyon" if that's the literal only map? Yeah I know, future proofing, but that seems pretty trivia as a thing to patch in WITH new maps rather than before even discussing new maps. But then they were like "uh guys looks like Anthem is gonna suck a honker, is it done enough to push out the door?" I just hope that obsessives don't declare one map to be vastly superior to the other(s) and dc whenever they don't get the map they like I mean I know that's gonna happen anyway but still

They released it when it was done, as is obvious by how polished it is.

Probably but it's still funny that this stealth launched right before Anthem Like the CEO of Coke said when asked if the whole "New Coke, Classic Coke" thing had been planned: "The truth is, we're not that dumb, and we're not that smart."

If you're late for the character selection, it auto selects whatever legend you were messing with in the legends tab last. You can even get duplicate character in a squad that way, but apparently also locked ones!

Mirage strikes me as a character that was an absolute monster during testing and they gradually scaled him back/limited his usefulness until you have the version at launch. I have no actual evidence of this but the Ultimate, in particular, feels like something that was iterated on a whole bunch until you have the weird not quite defensive/not quite offensive thing you have now.

The Anthem thread has existed for 6 months or so longer, has 11.5k posts, and the latest couple pages are... copying and pasting poo poo from Reddit, a Mass Effect battle royale, Star Wars Battlefront II also being poo poo, somebody swearing off ICR and a bolded disclaimer that someone isn't defending Anthem. Even by SA's incredibly low standards, this game is a goddamn golden child.

runchild posted:The game has only been out for a month and already got a new gun. The Battle Pass is very likely coming next Tuesday, and is guaranteed to arrive before March ends according to their roadmap. Octane (and maybe even Wattson) will probably arrive alongside it or soon after. Those seem like better retainment tools then a ranked mode or something, personally. i think ranked isnt a bad idea but I'm talking about game modes (the game and map is DYING for a protect/kill VIP, CTF and smaller deathmatch arenas). Its hard to add stuff like that if its gated/pay2play because it breaks up the playerbase double over but they need to make money...
