Eivion Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 2 hours ago, RIPPA said: I really think that EA/Bioware overreacted to the douche nerds who were all OH! THINGS ARE UGLY!!! (especially since I think a lot of them never planned on buying the game anyway. They just decided to jump on the pile like the internet is want to do). So they went scorched Earth and now are seeing that the majority of folks are now pissed they are abandoning the game/series (and don't give me the whole IT WILL BE BACK MAYBE IN A DECADE! shit - I am not seeing another game until after I am 50 so I am legit in the "I might never see another game in my lifetime" territory) yet they don't want to admit they are wrong So now the tactic is don't say anything. LALALALALALA! EVERYONE WILL GO AWAY IF WE DON'T LOOK AT THEM!!! God I am so angry Well supposedly its the reactions to go along with the development time and wasted money. If that Kotaku article is right they did wasted two years on pipe dream. On the other hand they were also sort of screwed with an engine that didn't have everything they needed and EA/Bioware taking resources and ideas away for Anthem. Generally speaking though EA/Bioware will never accept/admit faults on their part for it Andromeda's failings and likely will refuse to take anything away from Anthem to improve MEA.

jstout Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I don't even wanna know about Platinum. I hope they don't make APEX missions platinum, because I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do them and I'm not sure my NPC team is made of strong enough stuff to do them. And, I mean, it looks like we're not getting any single-player DLC. That sucks, but whatever, moving on. It'd be nice of Bioware to fix the seemingly hundreds of problems in multiplayer. I'm playing the Angara Avenger (sounds like a good name for a wrestler) and one of his big three powers (stealth grid) doesn't work 90 percent of the time. I just quit a match (I know it's a dick move, but screw it, I don't have to put up with this shit) when I got that bug where enemies' health bars are empty, yet they don't die. Now normally, I wouldn't mind because they generally stop shooting, but the Angaran's Avenger Strike still targets them after they're technically dead. So I waste a strike on a dead enemy and have to wait for it to recharge. Grumble, grumble, grumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Just did a bronze daily with a random whose apex rating was 0. Zero point zero He died a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I managed to die every wave in a Silver Apex yesterday. I was an Angaran Insurgent, and everyone else was some form of Infiltrator. So whenever it gets hairy, I find cover and try to to time my Shield Boosts to keep everyone in the area up and shooting... and they all turn invisible and run away. So I'm the only target on the map. Thanks, lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 doing all the wrap-up party stuff before Meridian. Got to meet Jaal's family and then make out with him and look at the astronomy thing he made. And play futsol with Liam and plant trees with Cora. The best thing was the email from Jaal's mother.

Jump into the silver, Odessa - remember my little motto of multiplayer - "we've got this shit." Trust me, I damn well guarantee you I've played with worse in Silver. And since I'm posting anyway, I gotta try to get this out of my system, dammit: "Dang you, Sea Rug, you get down off that roof right now before someone gets hurt." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I think you guys quit playing MP yesterday just as I signed on just as the fucking deluge hit my house in Severn. I knocked out the Bronze and Silver APEX, but I didn't do the Gold mission and I didn't have enough time for the Daily since I promised my beloved some quality time and we chilled out and watched the Celtics vs. Lakers dealie on ESPN 30 For 30. I should be online this afternoon. If I don't see anybody online for MP, I am going to continue my misadventures on Voeld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 To be fair - there was another place (Polygon perhaps???) that said they checked with their Bioware sources after the Kotaku report and heard the same thing. Now again - everything could be constantly changing All I know is they better be prepared to answer questions about it at their Q&A. If they think they are getting nothing but Anthem questions - they are idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I carry as my improv sniper rifle whenever the stip is AR skirmish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 HA! Nate asked what ARs we used and my exact quote was "Well if JT was here - he would tell you to use the Sandstorm" I don't remember what two he equipped but he hated both of them. (I am pretty sure one was the Soned. I don't remember what the other was) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Anyone who has Turbocharge is probably going to gimp themselves by using a low ROF DMR style weapon like the Sandstorm. Melraz is a really good sniper so any of the DMRs (Sandstorm, Mattock, Halberd) with a scope and another mod appropriate for the situation used in conjunction with the AR Damage equipment mod (or the Combatives Package) is arguably going to serve his play style better than a full auto bullet hose or a burst fire weapon in an Assault Rifle Skirmish.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
