Anthem has been Bioware’s attempt to get back to the level of quality that they are known for when it comes to making video games. They’ve had some big struggles recently, and this game was their way of making things up to fans. Or at least, that’s the intention. The game has received mixed reviews at launch, and gamers are divided on whether this is another great Bioware title or another failed attempt at greatness. Regardless of where you fall, the game is out, and Bioware has just released a new patch for it.
As outlined on their site, here is some of the big changes coming in the patch:
-
Respawn restrictions have been removed – Respawn timers are now based on the activity a player is in. Crit-Path, Agent Missions and other non-end game missions now have a respawn timer of 10 seconds. Strongholds, Legendary Contracts, and other end game missions now have a respawn timer of 30 seconds. The respawn timer Freeplay remains unchanged.
-
Loot Changes – Common (white) and Uncommon (green) drops will no longer appear for players that are level 30.
-
Improved stability for all platforms – this includes fixes for a number of issues that were causing crashes or connection problems
-
Audio Improvements – Fixed a number of issues that could cause audio to drop out
Other fixes include:
-
Fixed a number of issues that were blocking players from accessing the Forge
-
All missions should now properly end when all conditions have been met
-
The inbox now properly displays information on PC (the inbox is found in the newsfeed)
-
Fixed an issue that would cause players to be unable to interact with NPCs in Fort Tarsis
-
The vault is no longer accessible from the Forge. This change was made to improve performance
-
Fixed an issue that would cause the game to hang when entering menus while on an expedition
-
Titans will no longer respawn on missions after they are defeated. Example: if players defeat 2 out of 3 titans and then wipe on the third, the first two will not reappear when players respawn during a mission
-
Server shutdown messages should now appear less often
