I will never undestand the pretentious thinking that goes into trying to go for a system that scales with your gear. You can do the same way easier with the regular difficulties to infinitum.
And to what end? Your players never get to feel more powerful, you just designed a powerful tool that does nothing for your product, and that's if you did it well, most of the time it will be trash (this isn't the first time for bioware either, TOR bolster buffs were also trash, and you were better in pvp instances going naked and stuff like that). Because a level 2 player can get paired into a dungeon being done by a level 30 through quick-play. So some sort of scaling is needed to make that work. The stupid part is apparently tying it to equipment level rather then player level. That's fine for that content, but for gm1+ it is worthless. Also you can do level brackets in matchmakibg and be done with that. Well it's a looter shooter so there has to be the need for better gear. usually it's done the way, that the scaling cannot ever meet the top gear. e.g. top gear means you have power 1000. Scaling for that content via game should give you, I don't know, let's say 900 power top. This essentially means you can do the scaled content(which requires 850 power) while getting better gear gives you still better resources and you still have to get the gear to do unscaled content(if there's such thing in Anthem). Yes. But this is a system that scales you individually in regards to the content you are doing. It's the oppossite of what you think it is... you are looting stuff to be more powerful, but you don't get to feel more powerful. Reminds me of oblivion. Not to speak that most numbers in this game are a lie which gives a very sour taste in a looting game. You can do the difficulty scaling far easier and with a better system such as Diablo 3 and PoE. And if the point of contention is "not being able to play with my lowbie friend", that's bullcrap. You just powerlevel them, like you do in those games aswell. Matchmaking =/= Private.
I hated Oblivion! The only TES game I never finished cause the scaling pissed me of so much
In a stronghold yesterday I felt like I had the most impact damagewise, with me beeing lvl 20, two 30's and a lvl 14.
It seemed to scale us to the average and then me playing Storm Jav actually did the most dmg. Dunno. Feels weird

Finished story yesterday, did my first stronghold and legacy contract. Still need a lot of achievements and stuff and have more side quests to do. That's good cause I'm just lvl 20 right now.
Still love this game. Some of the NPC side stories are great. Bit in love with Tassyn <3
Mostly playing with Storm Javelin, cause it's awesome to rain down death and destruction, but holy shit do I die fast in higher difficulties.
Really hope Anthem survives the release of Division 2
how long does it take to fully finish the game without rushing ?

Fully in I've played every contract / side mission possible and have talked to ever NPC until they can't say no more?
I'd say 40 hours. I'm roundabout 33 hrs in, have done some grinding to get to max level (still 3 away from that) and have some side quests to finish still.
I hope for some QoL changes with the upcoming patch that allow for less loading screens and less running around. These are the two things that annoy me, as a casual gamer, the most.
So...many...loading...screens...

Can't say for sure. I think I played about 35 hours so far. Pilot level 22, Story done, side missions done. Mostly played alone (about 95%).
When you are through with the story you get a new quest which will take probalby another 40 hours, but it starts to get grindy. You can switch Javs though, which makes it a lot more replayable IMO.
You can do a lot of achievement hunting if that's you thing.
And of course the "get to max level and gear up" spiral is still there, which does motivate quite a lot.
Newest patch fixed a lot of bugs and made some QoL changes like fast stronghold queue and a lot less walking in town

tis'good,i really looking foward to a over 50h story mode after the cataclysm update
|
It's more 'story' than story to be honest.
While some interesting storylines exist, the narrative is picked apart by the horrendous loading screen after loading screen issue. At least you can start missions from wherever now.
But you can't customize your javelin without a loading screen. Which will necessitate a loading screen to get back to where you can start missions which will take a loading screen to take you into the open world.
So coming back from a mission is similar.
Loading screen after the mission. Look at loot. Loading screen for Customizing javelin. Loading screen for fort Tarsis, loading screen for next mission.
I hope they fix that rather soonish.

I love it when people wave and clap together after a contract.

so apparently players are boycotting anthem now?

But Division 2's release would have likely had a similar effect anyway.

I've encountered multiple Stronghold bugs 
Happens quite often that ppl spawn outside of barriers and stuff. And twice I got stuck in loading screen, queuing for quickplay stronghold
And why FFS is quickplay stronghold ALWAYS Heart of Rage? Takes forever
|
I've only spawned at the monitor fight when doing heart of rage. Both through quickplay as well as when starting a mission. Rather weird.
Quickplay is super buggy, that's true. And servers are unreliable.
I had fun nonetheless, though if I weren't such a fan of the concept, many things would repel me...
|
Found my first Masterworks! Feels awesome! Now I have to rethink my build and playstyle completely cause MW weapons actually do damage lol
|
I thought my power lvl of 450 is really good. Until I found out they completely redid power lvls last patch. Back to beeing a Scrub with possible a possible level of 700'ish
GM1 drop rate seems fine. I get 1 MW per Stronghold. Only problem is, it takes over twice as long as "hard" which almost always drops a MW item as well
|
Theres a reddit post concerning power level and damage in 1.03. Its worth a read.
Tldr is that the average of your items is more important than everything else. Properties of components matter little in comparison to just equipping max level items
|
Ah nice, Good to know.
Right now I'm switching through all my MW and Leg gear so I get the blueprints.
Got all fractions done now, almost through the challenge of valor (damn you world events!) and this month I may be able to get "Path to glory" gold and get those juicy MW embers.
Next week I will probably dabble a bit with Division 2
|
World Events are bugged?
I defended arcanists trice against brutes yesterday, in the same free play session, twice at the same spot.
Almost nothing else pops up, rather... Curious
Question :I'm getting duplicate mw at the moment. Many many of them. Is it because I've used the other items too little to have unlocked their mw version?
I've also linked the reddit post I was talking about in my last post
