So this is a long shot but there’s 150 something thousand of us. What if we all commented and shared on the guys post who talked about reviving/ rebooting anthem! We could help support the game by everyone getting on and or making in game purchases? Would love to see this game come back, love this game so much
I’ve recently finished the campaign and all the story side missions. Now that I’ve finished I’m trying to reach level 30. What’s the quickest way to go about doing this?
Pretty much title. Not looking for help running through the game because I'm already able to do grandmaster 3, just want some folks to add to my friends list that I can join up on whenever they're online. The game is way more fun when you squad up and just play. I'm the sort of guy that doesn't care what it is we are doing, as long as we just play. I'm trying to farm up some legendaries to improve upon the javelins I already have and have a good time, that's it. If you're down for the cause either drop your PSN tag or add mine.

Wanted to buy some shards (no, not a waste to me) but every time I try it just won't let me. Is this not working for everyone? Playing through EA Play on PC
I fell in love with this game and i remember stopping because i ran through all the missions i could. I'm returning after a couple of years and having forgotten everything my question is simple. What is there to do? What missions are people doing. I remember doing the silence the cenotaph (i think that's what is was) over and over
I have added a bunch of people through the EA app and even played with some of them... But no alliance points.
Does this still work or is it broken? If it does work, how does it work?
Also curious about guild's...
Hi, so I played anthem years ago and I was given the choice to choose a new Javelin, but I restarted cause I wanted to choose a different one but I’m above the level I was at before and now I didn’t give me the option, why is that? Can I fix it?
I'm a little late to the game. I've had a copy for a couple years now but life happened and I stopped playing. What do I need to know to get into it now. Probably don't have the time to go hard core. But I was definitely looking for a good time
RTX 4060 ti 16gb, 32 gb ram, intel i7… My PC shouldn’t have any issues with Anthem. I can run Veilguard on ultra settings just fine.
Every loading screen in Anthem results in loud screeching sounds and pauses. Once the game loads it works fine and looks great, but each and every loading screen is horrible.
What’s going on? What setting do I have wrong? Any ideas? Thanks!
Is the only way to buy the game for pc on EA? I’m waiting for it to go on sale

Who has more players? Pc or Console?
Hey all, recently came back to the game to fiddle around a bit and want to work on my storm javelin since it's my lowest at ~850. Really not a fan of steam vent and was hoping for something a bit more AoE focused. My ranger and interceptor are already highly single target so it makes sense to me to have my Colossus and Storm be AoE focused.
There is this massive spike in daily player chart on the 7th of November, was there some kind of event? did I miss something?
Hey guys, I got this game recently for 2$ on ps store. I am wondering, is this game worth giving a play through for the campaign ? Just wondering if it's a fun shooter to play through once.
Or is this more for people who want that looter shooter grind ?
Been back with the game for about a week, and I am pleased to see more and more people coming into the world of Anthem (or back into it)
At first, I couldn't find anyone in GM3, but now I can get missions in it back to back 🥳
My only criticism is this. PICK THE ORBS UP IN ORDER!! THE BLUE ONE COMES FIRST 🤣🤣🤣
That's all! Glad to see Anthem is still kickin!
If I re-download Anthem on EA PC, will I be able to find players? Is there a crossplay option available? I bought the game when it was released, but people stopped playing after a while, so I want to know if I download it to PC, will I be able to find other players?"
Go into the launch bay and invite players to your team. Invite them. And invite them again. Then a couple minutes later again.
It doesn’t always work and sometimes they are busy in load outs.
Invite high level players. Message them to carry you in grandmaster or have fun in your lower levels.
I’m sure this has been addressed somewhere already, but I can’t find an answer.
I’m new to the game on Xbox series X.
Anytime I launch any mission, I can’t ever seem to get connected with anyone and if I bump the difficulty up, the missions are impossible on my own or take hours for a single mission.
Any guidance to get into actual lobbies with other people would be greatly appreciated!
Now when I get some free time I can give the game a fair shot. Really nice artwork for the steelbook.
Buddy of mine finally got it on PC. Loving it 🖤
Best way to farm legendary enemies ?
I can’t figure out how to get anarchist xp without the missions and no more missions are popping up for me to do
What’s the best way to get the gold currency?
Hello dear Freelancers! If you keep wondering whether to give Anthem a try after all these years, this post is for you. I will keep it very simple.
~~
I was always enthusiastic about Anthem since before release; but due to disastrous critique and reception, I never bought the game (yes, that was the reason, so yes, public opinion does make a difference).
In 2024, I finally decided to play and platinum Anthem on Playstation 4 Pro as a first-time-ever-player. It took me 60 hrs with a trophy-hunting focus, with baseline being 70+. Here are my thoughts.
1. Visual style and environment. Tops all expectations. The world is beautiful and vibrant. Visuals are stunning. I enjoyed it a lot.
2. Flying experience. State of the art. Best mech suit flying representation in any game to date. Not over-exaggerating.
1. Gunplay. It's ok. Gets repetitive too fast. Only one type of ult per javelin gets boring, even the cool visuals for Ranger don't save it. All bullet weapons (AR/PR, pistols, LMG, MG cannons, even sniper) feel exactly the same - before you ask, yes, I used all of them, required to platinum. Only shotguns play different. The post-release expansion weapons are cool (bolt-casters and rayguns) but they don't drop; you can only buy them in seasonal store, which you would only reasonably do at level 30, possibly 50+ hours into the game. This is too late.
2. Variety. Lackluster. I recall only 4-5 distinct enemy types per faction (footsoldier, sniper\RPG, faction-specific like bomb Scars or hounds, storm suit and sentinel suit). Also about 3 superboss enemy types, one per faction (like Dominion Fury). Guys I'm sorry, this is not enough for 100+ hour game. I know this is not an exhaustive list of enemies, but since this was my impression as a player, my impression becomes reality.
1. Bugs and overall polish. Game is still tech-lacking. Not completely polished even after 1.5 years of active development. Crashed on me twice in 60 hours. NPCs disappear from their spots in the hub area. Enemies and meshes spawning in your face because you got there too fast and engine didn't have enough time to load assets in. Beginning of the mission where interface elements, map elements and markers proceed to load as you fly. If you know where to go, you can literally get there before interface fully appears. Ruins immersion. Also motherfugging bug where you can't exit the reward screen after the mission end - caught it more than twice. Most infuriating, requires hard restart, nothing else works. At least you keep rewards.
2. Gamedesign. Sorry, it doesn't have enough variety at all. Game shows you all types of its content within first 7 to 10 hours, after that all is repetition. Contracts are made of individual open-world events mashed together. 95% of tasks are kill a bunch of enemies or defend a point while killing a bunch of enemies. After that, move to another spot to kill a bunch of enemies. After you clear the objective, you still need to clear the remaining enemies (really?). Last javelin unlocks waaay at the end of the game. Why limit me in my way of playing?
3. Loading screens. Too many and too long. Loading screen into the hub, into loading screen into mission, into loading screen into REWARDS (why? can't give them at the hub?) into loading screen into bay? This is simply not good quality-of-life. This is on PS4 Pro. I suspect its worse on base console. Why does the reward screen take 15 seconds to display first results, what's the holdup? Why you can skip rewards completely but can't skip right after the first wave, if I only want to see the individual EXP section?
4. Narrative design. Annoying and lacking. It's not about the plot of the game, it's about the style. Why every world narrative element must be presented in such pompous manner? Why every character communicates like a college freshmen born in 2000s? This is far and wide not how real world is, and it takes away from the game.
Did you play GoW / God of War Ragnarok? Why is the narrative so acclaimed there? Because it's believable. Characters behave and express feelings exactly how real people would. It's titanic writing work. Anthem tries really hard to be in that place, but falls short by a mile.
5. Matchmaking. Not very well thought out. Why require to select difficulty from the beginning? Why not joining random difficulty whichever is available? I couldn't find anyone on medium, so played almost entire game in private lobby. All I had to do was switching to hard. There was no way of knowing this.
X. In 60 hours of gameplay, I did not find the option to put custom marker on the world map. Is that true?
This game would be a gem as a single-player standalone, plus co-op option (like SM2). As a live service it is not appealing enough to be popular. Too repetitive gameplay-wise, not touching enough story-wise.
Guys, I am sorry. No revival is possible. It won't be played. In order to be engaging, the core gameplay sections need to be re-imagined, which pretty much requires building the game from scratch, preferably on a new engine too. From the point where we stand, there is no future for Anthem. I am sorry.
Should you buy it? It is worth playing once through campaign for 10-15 hours. After that, only if gameplay suits you. Put the setting on HARD and ALWAYS play in PUBLIC matchmaking - you will have people jumping in with ease. I regret not doing that in the beginning.
Hey folks I really do love anthem and recently got a PS5 even though I originally bought it on Xbox one should I get it again on PS5 when it goes on sale?
