Whiskey_chaser Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I'm so excited for this. The impulsive part of my brain is telling me to sign up for Origin Access and get it for PC as well as PS4 just so I can play it early. Screw you and your silly marketing EA - my resolve is strong, i'm not falling for your tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 @Blakey has you covered, he downloaded it a few days ago. I expect a thread to go up soonish with him twaddling on about it in extreme detail. I shall be there next week.Really looking forwards to it, if only for the outrage of it being broken as fuck. I hope it isn't but we sort of know it's going to be on some level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey_chaser Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I'm hopeful that a weeks worth of early access will let them patch out the remaining gremlins but who knows. I've seen a few developer threads that say they've sorted most of the issues people had with the beta demo, so at least mobs shouldn't vanish randomly now.

Whiskey_chaser Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Press servers went live last night apparently and the embargo lifted 25 mins ago so there's a slow drip feed of info coming through. Some info on micro-transactions available here:https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/anthem-microtransactions-what-you-can-buy-in-anthems-cosmetic-store/ My wonky maths works out the emote at being around £3 and a full armour set for £6.47 According to the reddit thread the game gives you 80k in coins at the start which is enough for the armour set and an emote.

Sly Reflex Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I was just coming to post about this exact thing. 500 Shards: $6.49/£3.99 1050 Shards: $12.99/£7.99 2200 Shards: $25.99/£15.99 4600 Shards: $51.99/£31.99 That's one question answered. The other question is how quickly are coins earned. Having to have 61,000 coins for a set of cosmetics could be some fair old grinding. It really depends on how quickly those coins come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it with a pinch of salt, but apparently you can get coins from chests in Freeplay: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I got coins for beating an elite mob in the demo as well. I think it's the speed they come at, it's alright saying "You can do this" but it boils down to how often. For instance you could get legendary engrams out of patrol chests in Destiny 1, but out of the thousands of chests I opened when farming for materiel did I only see that legendary pop up maybe 2 or 3 times. It's all going to boil down to the drop rates, and I guess that thing where depending on how many and how hard your Friends are playing you get a wad of coins per week. That reddit thread I posted a while back explained how it worked but it's slipped my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey_chaser Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The flip side is they're listening and engaging well with their community and fixing things. I'm still hyped. Did you opt for PS4 or Xbox @Nag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Pay quite a bit extra (can get full games which have been discounted for price difference) to play early to get a even more broken game than usual. I don’t get it, these game publishers must be laughing all way to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 You can read my experiences with the game in the Games section. Personally, I wouldn’t be comfortable paying full whack for this at the state it’s currently in. Whether the Day 1 patch solves all its many issues or not remains to be seen. At the moment it’s in a worse state than Andromeda was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallofbooty Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I just pre-bought the standard version on PS4 off Amazon and they've emailed today to say I've qualified for a £10 discount. I'm now paying £39.99. Which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Lots of things. And he’s backing up his gripes very well to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Can you really call it a day one patch when it's been playable for a week for lots of people? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
