ANTHEM Explains Ways It Will Attempt to Prevent Players from Absconding to The Division 2

It seems the freeplay events listed for February are listed as new again over the next 2 months or am I missing something?

I bought Anthem and I'm enjoying the game, but from what I played in the Division 2 beta it seems you'll have a lot more to do in that game. Granted, it is a sequel to a game they've been working on for 3 years now, but so was Destiny and they didn't learn from their mistakes.

I'm enjoying Anthem but Div 2 is going to destroy my backlog.

I think you guys forgot the cataclysm for May.

Says “Cataclysm starts”, which is the content which might be equivalent to raids in Destiny and TD2.

@BearsEatBeets It does list them again, but not as new. Just Freeplay Event.

@cloud36426 Fair enough it doesn't say new. It just seems a bit weird to me if they are added to the game in February why do they need to be listed again at all?

Division 2 BAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH.

Can someone tell me why everyone is talking about Division 2 like they expect it to be good? We all played the last one, right?

@BearsEatBeets honestly looks like they are padding the list.
Must be a limited time event.

@TeslaChippie We're in some sort of bizarro world at the moment, where Ubisoft and Capcom are actually learning from their previous mistakes and making quality games again.

Having played the division 2 beta, I'd say it's a safe bet they've got a solid looter shooter on their hands, applying a lot of what they learned from the first game. It's gotten a preorder from me, which is saying a lot since I rarely do so, and even rarer on an MP game such as this.

@RedMageLanakyn So it improved a lot how is the customization of characters?

I love Anthem (I am one of the rare people who love it), but this is definitely not gonna keep me from going to the division 2 when it launches. The Division 2 just looks to be the better loot shooter out there.

Sorry but all of this should have been in the game to start with and they should be developing more new stuff for monthly content. This game will be dead by end of year

"This game will be dead by end of year"...
Played it today and have to agree, Anthem will be dead by the end of the year. Shame really. Was looking forward to this and well shoot... it really sucks.

Im still playing D2 so meh

EA shouldn't be focusing on stopping Anthem players leaving for the Division 2. Right now it needs to focus on stopping players going back to Destiny.

At this rate there won't be any players next week, let alone next month.

new world events are not new content, it's literally just spawning enemies in the map. freeplay is crap.. plus it's missing lots of little things - like the ability to place way points on the map, indicators where events are happening, ways to bring players together... if you play solo, it's literally 4 people flying aimlessly around the whole map until a notification appears that an event is nearby, but you don't know exactly where. most of the time, you end up having to do them solo - and if you die, good luck finding where your event actually was, because everywhere looks the same. freeplay is a pointless waste of time. harvesting resources for a broken crafting system, whose loot is crap anyway?. pffft.

How about a single player mode I could reasonably play without relying on randoms or hoping my friends are willing to sit through story moments?

Yeahhhh..... Safe to say I’ll be getting The Division 2 if I’m going to pick from any of the two new looter shooters. The open beta coming up will determine what I end up doing haha.

I bought this the other day after I finished new Dawn. The shooting just feels off. Can’t get into it. Usually I buy digital but I had a bad feeling about this one. Glad I went retail so I can trade it to someone else or sell it

@Cheski you can make it private and play solo all you want.
