Man I just miss this game so much I think about it all the time. Is anyone bringing this game back with like private servers or anything like that?

I will never forgive EA and BioWare for giving up on this game I truly believe there will be never a game like this or at least not for a while. Or at least give the IP to someone else. I just wish this game would come back.

Been printing this out and adjusting stuff for weeks, but its all finally put together, still gotta put some lights in it, paint and glue it

I started ripping assets with the intention of rebuilding the models at a higher fidelity for study but got hung up on getting the mats working. It wasn't the exercise I intended, but I guess it was still a learning experience.

Short clip of my brother finding out he bit off more than he could chew 🤣 I remember this day so clearly, my eyes widened as soon as he leaped in the air in shock at how he’s just going gung-ho towards the Luminary not knowing it’s about to deplete his health bar like nothing.

I wish I encountered these more throughout Anthem. They were one of the bosses I liked seeing a lot; even though I liked all of them for the most part. I think it’s because when the first beta for Anthem came out, I faced it like 3 times whenever I went to the Eddian Grove. Whenever you get close to it you feel the weight of it; especially when you see them fire off everything they got as if they’re convulsing out all the ammo they have on them.
The design was amazing. Clunky, towering and sporadic.

I know we had the Luminary boss Scelos from the Stronghold but seeing them in the wild is always a delight. I think if Scelos moved around a bit during the stronghold that would’ve made it more of a pest to deal with (which I’m all for!).

The halfway mark of the week is approaching us, I hope you all have an amazing week Freelancers! Strong alone, stronger together 🫡🍻

Hello fellow Freelancers! Since the servers were shutdown I've been looking into reading the Anthem PC client files back into a reference world (aka a port to Godot).

What's working so far:

- The Fort Tarsis exterior and the gorge out to around Gathering Falls (about 3.5km/square from the free play spawn platform)
- All javelins export fully skinned with their default skins, walking, running and flying animations.

The one thing still out of reach is the flight model. It ran client-side but the executable is encrypted so for now it's going to be reconstructed. If that ever becomes readable....different story. :) For now, progress screenshots attached.

Stronger Together o7

A simple reminder of what this game meant to so many of us... It is always good to pause for a moment and look back on the good times that live on only in our screenshots, in our recorded videos....

and most importantly in our own memories..

"Those who leave do not truly die... Those who are forgotten, do"

Have a great day, Freelancer

“Just for one morning you think it’s gonna be a nice relaxing day. Those are few and far in between here in Bastion. I did sign up for this.

Haluk caught wind of some Korox that escaped the farms, so a ‘headcount to make sure they’re alright would be nice’ he said. The farmer told Haluk that they’re usually fine, armored plated organic bulldozers are hard to stop but ‘for all that armor and toughness they are as clumsy as hell’.

Ursix are aware of wild Korox feeding grounds in Korox Shallows, I’ll be heading there first just in case I could get some action.

Great, I stopped a cataclysm, fought Dominion abominations and Scarr leaders and now I’m reduced to a Korox wrangler. Maybe they do tricks like balancing on a giant ball.

Lucky for me, not all fauna is out to graze on the grass. I had a Sentinel radio in for help. Wild Wyverns, a little over a dozen maybe? Or an exact dozen? It was a good change of pace. Feels good to help others; I guess that’s what it’s all about. Helping others in tough situations, no matter how big or small the task. Maybe that’s where our motto came from … “

Hope everyone has had an amazing week so far! And are looking forward towards an amazing weekend after working, studying or just living life. Wishing you guys the best! Keep fighting the good fight. Strong alone, stronger together. 🎉

I am trying to remember what made each javelin special so I can work on a assignment

Posted it before to show how I love to play as Storm. Used to be a way for me to release some steam smashing into small ennemies. I'm missing this game so much.

I miss this game. It was.... unrefined. Chaotic. Not super clear on what to do next. And incredibly confusing getting to endgame where... it kinda just became an rng of traits and a numbers game with gearscore... so. all of which... yea essentially the same thing. It had its flaws. But I miss this game. Fly high freelancers.

“Light gleamed down from a crack in the ceiling. New hope for escape in this twisted corridor of the Dungeon? My Cypher can’t reach me, I’m out of ammo and I hear more Dominion making their way towards the twists and turns of this infernal place. Hopefully I can make it home by dinner.”

Happy Friday Freelancers! Hope your weekend is amazing and have fun doing whatever you’re doing. Stay safe and you can be strong alone, but we are stronger together.

Anyone know where I can get a PC version of anthem? Seeing as how it’s delisted and all. I’d really appreciate the help!

Edit: never mind, god bless internet archive!!
Edit 2: lol i know it’s been sunset - I want to try to do my own bit of dabbling with the code

This is ridiculous the time and money I put into this game, I just convinced a friend to play through it with me while I get back into it again

I didnt put all that time and money into it only for the experience to be temporary.

I am owed

Hey Everyone before anything, I want to thank you all here for the support over the past two years of developing Dissonance, as you helped shape it from this little college prototype, into a a full fledged game with its own narrative in development!

I am proud to announce that the Dissonance Playtest is available to sign up for right now on Steam if you are interested!
I will be accepting users to enter in waves throughout the coming days, so sign up and you will be in ASAP.

I am so sorry for the wait due to the review process but I hope you all have some fun experimenting and playing around with this very early build!

I hope that all of you who enter with the knowledge below enjoy the experience, as I have been working on ensuring it contains a fun core.

What The Playtest Is:

• Early Build - Many things are not polished and plenty may still break
• Full Controller Support - No Aim Assist Currently
• 50+ Weapons
• 2 Armor Sets for each Class
• Intro Quest + Repeatable Quests found at Rifton Village
• Weapon Upgrading + Resource Gathering -> 100+ Weapon Perks from Common To Legendary
• 2 Classes - Monsune and Behemoth (VFX Require Polishing)
• 6 Class Skills each, with Focused skills in development - Skill Tree Implemented
• 1 Codex Entry Aquirable which also unlocks all Paint and Material Customisation
• 1 Dungeon Implemented
• 2 Locations with Mechanics and Rewards
• 1 Large Scale Cave with Resources
• 2 World Events
• Visible Storm Breach - No entry yet
• 6 Player Co-Op with Progress Saving between Singleplayer and Multiplayer
• Many Bugs and Glitches

What The Playtest Is Not:

• Final Version Of The Game
• Full Map and All Content
• Story Heavy with Rich Narrative

What I'm Looking For:

• I want feedback on the core systems and overall *feel* of Dissonance so far
• All systems are integrated but need to be refined and polished
• Is the performance in early stages causing severe issues on selected hardware

This is a 31cm figure i just printed

“The night approached. Wyverns scorched my javelin. Luckily, a waterfall was not too far away to cool off. Wolven howled that shook my bones to the core. The survival instinct of my body kicks in regardless of being inside this suit. To see a pack of Wolven and a Titan back to back is not an uncommon thing, but a sighting I appreciate nonetheless.”

I like this clip a fair bit! Being able to fly through the gate and see the wide open world, then to see a Titan running rampant for me to use my ultimate is great, AND getting to see a legendary drop is amazing every single time. The coloring and the way the drop radius circle engulfs the area with a coat of neon yellow-ish green is awesome. Thankful to have all these clips to revisit, and to share with you who enjoy reminiscing with me!

Hope you all have an amazing weekend. Strong alone, stronger together.

we have reopened server invites:

A sound sample of End of the Dark from Konami/Hideo Kojimas Policenauts is in Anthem!

Well, in its Closed Alpha Build to be exact!

I've known about this since the games Open Beta.

Did you ever wonder why there was a Konami Code Easter Egg in the game?

It's because of the above! It originally had Konami music in it!

Kojimas Policenauts theme was changed in the public beta before the games release for obvious reasons and replaced with an 8-bit chiptune version of Anthems Theme.

I had a chat with the games Director earlier this year and asked him about the Policenauts sound sample and he had no idea it was even a thing!

Had no idea who put it in! 😂

So there you go, cats out of the bag!

Have a search on google about this and you'll only find an old post i made 4 years ago, which i deleted right after posting.

If you have access to the CAB, try it for yourself.

⬆️⬆️⬇️⬇️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️🅱️🅰️

I originally told Larry Bundy Jr about it 4 years ago, THEE Video Game Fact guy who makes the "Fact Hunt" Series. I then told the guys from "Did You Know Gaming" over a year ago but they mainly cover Nintendo stuff, then contacted Larry Bundy Jr again with new footage. Been waiting for his Fact Hunt Series to reveal it in a video but alas, that day hasn't came as of yet. (Sorry Larry)

This is the original clip i sent Larry Bundy Jr & DYKG while Anthem Servers were still up and running.

Since its the CAB, it fails to connect to the servers.

In comments i will include a new clip, showing the CAB booting etc. Slight difference as no servers exist to try to connect to and doesn't show my gamertag anymore in turn.

Have also included a link to Policenauts - End of the Dark so you can hear it if you haven't.

“The Foundry. Miles of machinery that mortal men couldn’t begin to comprehend. You can hear dormant energy zooming in and out.

Dominion often enter here, to what end? What do they seek? The Monitor’s gone. With leadership in scrambles not knowing who to follow, one would think that some sense for normalcy would be tugging their at their souls to live out the rest of their lives. Yet, they remain following orders as if it’s just programming. Mind control? Either that or Monitor can give one hell of a speech.

Still, the place is a beautiful and horrifying reminder of what power can do.”

Happy Friday you guys! Hope your day goes well and weekend even better! Whatever endeavors you guys are seeking, pursue them.

Appreciate this might be a nonsensical question since EA shut the servers down 7-8 months ago. But now that EA has been acquired by PIF, are there any whispers or speculations about the revival of Anthem?

Hey guys, Laurie here. Today we had a quick progress update, so I'm gonna share it here with you all!

The contents of the update itself are as follows:

"The backend database is almost complete. The backend API is also almost complete The only missing thing are loot tables and salvage tables.

The Blaze backend is also almost done. Matchmaking based on level works.

Mission loading is still a WIP.

Freeplay (is a mission) is WIP.

Tutorial is WIP.

We understand which maps to load etc.

The problem is that sooo many things are server side. From specific animations being triggered by the server to sounds.

NPC spawns, UI states all of it is server side. We have packet logs for almost everything, but the tooling to understand these logs is also a WIP.

The executable being denuvo encrypted also doesn't help. It's heavily obfuscated."

I'd like to properly credit u/pikotaropen for all his hard work over the past few months to make this possible.

Strong Alone, Stronger Together

“Remembering that day stuck on the side of a cliff, exploring ruins and shaper relics on the edges of death. Matthias would be proud. Shot in the leg by a Tesilar, paralyzed from the legs down. Luckily enough though, the cliff side had a great view. A Titan, seemingly frolicking about without a care in the world, protecting their turf. Something created by the Anthem showing a nature that is not commonly perceived by all. I thought being stuck here was an unfortunate thing but reflecting back, it was a great time. It was nice seeing the hues change in the scenery as darkness approached as well; the little things.”

This was one of my favorite things I captured as I was enjoying the last few months of Anthem. Hope you all are having a great Friday and it all goes well for the weekend if you have any plans! Strong alone, stronger together.

Every time I see the 12th on the calendar, I do it automatically. It makes me think about the decline of this game and remember it for what it was, and as everyone knows... "a giant with enormous potential that they let die." Is it unfair? Yes, of course it's unfair, but hey, that's not the point. All we can do is remember all those great and interesting moments and landscapes it left in our memories. I miss that feeling in Fort Tarsis these last few months... that feeling of a living world... but at the same time dying... it's a feeling impossible to replicate in another video game.

That's all, that's all... I hope the freelancers are doing well... The only game that has hooked me since Anthem fell is the legendary Battlefield 1. What about you?
