Any idea what this addresses? Giving consoles HDR Back is on the docket, I’ve heard. Can’t imagine that takes 4GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Oh good. You really do miss it. The visuals seem muted and dulled. Still a nice looking game, but not as nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I'm about to hit Lvl 30, with 1 Masterwork Machine Pistol, rest purples. After you ht like Lvl 20ish you'll start quickly moving to all purples. People complain about how repetitive it is, but compare it to any other Looter Shooter, and how is it any less reptitive. If anything I feel they way they handle world events and Free Roam makes it feel far less repetitive than most. Diablo, arguably the king of a Looter genre, literally has essentially 2 enemy types gameplay wise. Modifiers on enemies apply to any type of enemy, so really the only difference from enemy to enemy is what they look like on screen, not their attacks, its just the modifiers. The gameplay loop essentially is always the same point and click. Variety is combat is essentially non existant. I found Destiny did a good job of making the gameplay in a Looter fun, because it forced you to think more, combat had more variety, and the co-op aspect was really fun. I think they failed on the part of exploration though, as exploring for the most part never was rewarded. I feel that Anthem's gameplay is really really really good for this style game, as you literally have 4 different classes that play drastically different in most cases, and force you to play each mission mostly entirely different. It makes repeating the same content far more rewarding when you feel like youre experiencing it in a different way. You also have the fact you dont have to repeat the same content 3 times to run different "Characters" like Destiny or Diablo forced you to. You play through once, and get to level up each class pretty much in line with eachother, forcing you to just search for each class specific items. Maybe thats why people are complaining about not enough content in this game even though I feel like it feels far larger than a lot of Looters. You only have to play the content once, not 3 times, or even more in Diablo's case. If they forced you to create 4 new characters to have each Javelin maybe they'd be better off for some gamers that are bitching after 80+ hours of playtime in a 7 days they have almost fully maxed characters.

JPDunks4 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 My Masterwork Machine Pistol gets a 125% Damage boost to everything for like 5 seconds if you shoot something point blank with it, and also one of its random rolls is +115% Weapon Damage, so its putting out 550+ Damage per bullet for 54 bullet clip up close, it melts enemies, then pair that with my Interceptor Melee combos to get in close, and its a blast to play with. Completely changed up my play style to include my gun in combat now right so late in the game. I'm looking forward to getting some Masterwork Components. I think they have Legendary and Masterwork varieties for all slots except Support right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I’m officially addicted to this damn game. lol Had to take a break to shower and go out with the fam for dinner.

And I'm getting in as much game time as I can for the net couple of hours... linking up with the lady for a dinner and a movie tonight and will be with her and her family all day tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDunks4 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Just had a Masterwork drop off a regular enemy during a Hard Stronghold. Always love those surprises that pop up randomly. Hated Destiny how the only way to get Exotics were end of Nightfalls or Raids, the OG Destiny. Also, build diversity comes through even more with the Consumables, dont forget to use those everytime as well for extra shield, faster gear charging, ect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Just completed my last two challenges for the last two tombs in ONE event. That wasn't nearly as bad as review clowns made it out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Yeah I just unlocked the Tomb mission. 2 of the tombs were already completely done. One just needs world events. And the other needs chests...which admitedtly will be kinda tough but this isn’t nearly as ridiculous as everyone said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can fly around Freeplay and just find random chests, World Events reward you with one chest, and Strongholds have 2 each I think? It might take a bit but it shouldn't be too crazy hard. Especially if you set Freeplay to easy and just blast through World Events with glee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the recent patch though they started tracking those requirements from lvl 3 instead of lvl 8, so it is even easier now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a chest at the end of successful world events... that's how I got mine done. Just kept doing world events and there's almost always a world event occurring near a tomb. I didn't even find any chest free roaming. Ironically, the chests and the multi kill challenge took me the longest to do and where the last two I needed to do today before I finished that quest.

JPDunks4 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Just saw a few things on Twitter. +Physical Damage refers to Impact and Acid Damage, guns inflict Impact Damage. +Luck is basically +Loot Find , increases chances at finding higher quality gear.

JPDunks4 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Drop Rates seem to be just right, seem to get a Masterwork roughly each time I run a Stronghold or Contract on Grandmaster, not every time, but prob 80% of them so far. Still no Legendary drops yet. The loot is more interesting than I initially thought it might be, some pretty cool perks so far. Having Masterwork Components and Skills with the special perks can really change up a build, so def looking forward to finding more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Just hit the free roam / tombs challenge before calling it a night. So what exactly is involved in finding and completing these Tomb challenges? I’ll probably take a go at it sometime this morning. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Pikachu Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 You can track the challenges in your journal. It's mostly stuff you are going to do along the way like harvesting minerals, reviving teammates, opening chests, killing a bunch of stuff like scar and animals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also check each tomb individually if you happen to be near one. Multi-kills in this game are a bit of a misnomer, by the way. It's more like chain kills. A proper multi-kill is getting 8 kills within 10 seconds, but the 10 second timer resets back to 10 after each kill, so they're really easy to get as long as you have a lot of enemies and keep killing things.

There's not much to explore. Each one is very literally just a tomb, i.e. one room with a sarcophagus in it. Getting in is impossible without completing each tomb's challenges, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what was throwing me off about the multi kills... I kept killing groups of enemies and wasn't getting it and couldn't figure our why. It's more like chain kills, killing a bunch of enemy in succession rather killing more than two enemies at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Found and completed one of the tombs. Exploration in free mode is great. Soooo much to find.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 There are supposed to be new Javelins at some point. When they add them I really hope getting them is part of a story/quest where you find this lost Javelin type. At least for one of them. Another could be like some R&D project. I think that that would be cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
