POEman553 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 EA may be ending Anthem soon -- which may mean the servers and possibly mean the Platinum will be unobtainable. I have a copy of Anthem that I got for $10...so if I start now, would I have enough time to Platinum it before EA shuts down Anthem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draps-1337 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) The platinum is pretty short (so is the game really) It will take about 35 hours, 10-12 hours beat the story and get 70% of the trophies. the last 25 hours will be getting all the classes challenges complete and grinding the collectibles (random spawn style...) Every time you get a weapon trophy, swap to another weapon. (there are a couple of weapons that are only useable by certain classes, just do them when you're leveling those classes) Edited February 9, 2021 by Draps-1337 correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NxtDoc Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 It is a grind. But doable. I personally hope there is a future for Anthem. I truly enjoyed the world, lore, and Javelin's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby_TheLastofUs Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 That isn't about EA taking down the servers for Anthem, it's whether EA is going to commit to a No Man's Sky/Final Fantasy XIV type update to revive the game. The servers should stay up for at least a few more years, even if EA decides they aren't going to try and save Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scemopagliaccioh Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 This is different than BF2, Bioware isn't capable of creating engaging battle systems like Dice. They should just pack it up and save resources for DA4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 BioWare had no business making a game like this and the fallout from it all only goes to show. A failed experiment, best put to rest. Hopefully they learned their lesson and that the upcoming Dragon Age is no longer "Anthem with dragons" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGuy420 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I doubt the servers are going anywhere. EA is actually pretty good about not shutting servers down. Hopefully they do keep going with the overhaul. They’ve been doing dev diaries about the overhaul progress as they go and they definitely have me interested. Hell, before they stopped supporting it to focus on the overhaul, I thought they were on the right path to fixing it then. I kinda wish they had just kept going with the small fixes but w/e.

Spacey_Dweeb Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I doubt the servers will be shutting off any time soon, even if they decide to cut their losses on Anthem. However, when you go for the plat, check for seasonal events. I had to delay the platinum for a few weeks until the end of the winter one, because the collectables for one of the factions was really hard to find due to a decreased spawn rate.

Sydoki Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) In the spirit of transparency and closure we wanted to share that we’ve made the difficult decision to stop our new development work on Anthem (aka Anthem NEXT).

Conor Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 So much squandered potential that I really doubt was fixable, ever. BioWare are a shadow of their former glory anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NxtDoc Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 This hurts. Anthem had so much potential. EA is such a trash company. As much money as they make off of MORONS from just FIFA Ultimate Team alone, a small fraction of that cash could easily help Anthem. No, Anthem should have not been released in the state it was in. Not even now. However, I thoroughly enjoyed my time on Anthem. It needed more to do no doubt. But you could see the potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leenewbe Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 managed to pick it up new for a pound recently, better get it done soon and get my moneys worth, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call that short lol. I'd say that an average of a lot of Platinums. Short would be around 10-15 hours long 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally fair to say that a medium-length plat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x--CosMos--x Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Lucky I finished it a while ago. The Platin is quite easy but buggy with collectables. Can only advice to keep picking up any collectable u see even if game says complete. For some unknown reason the counter will reset at a point and trophy will trigger. Just be aware, buggy but obtainable! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up the development of Mass Effect 3 and there's a lot of troubling stuff there, which bled into Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mass Effect: Andromeda and then this sorry excuse of a LiVe SeRvIcE. They've been on a severe downward spiral for a decade and the notion of the next Dragon Age being "Anthem with dragons" just spells doom. And if anything, canceling Anthem Next has saved them some time and resources to put into rebuilding their reputation because really now how many people were actually looking forward to more Anthem, truly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatThaRiPP3R84 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) the truth about bioware is, all of the original talent left between the creation of dragon age origins, and mass effect 3. and by all I mean their world class writers, the animators they all left and the people that replaced them literally had the experience to work in any indie studio. Anthem has been dropped anyway youtube has been lit up with videos about it. EA threw away an IP right there because they do not have the talent to run with it. and the talent they DO have, DICE Respawn etc are busy working on their more prominant money-makers, like BF.

As was Mass Effect 3 bar the ending. But what went on behind the scenes in those games was abhorrent and caused a lot of the studio's best talent to leave. Which contributed to the failures of the next two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A210221100 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 it had a good basis but it was not ready to be released it needed atleast 2 more years anyway get your platinums asap because most likely they will close the servers in about 2 years not alot of people play the game and even less will play now since they killed the revamp at some piont if they deem that the expense of keeping the servers is not worth it they are going down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uduc2late Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I think servers might be down, every time I try to start any expedition or mission, the loading screen goes up 3/4 ways then restarts and gets stuck at 1/5 of the ways. I have waited for it to just start for 30 mins, 2 times and it has never started, is anyone having the same issue, and if it can be fixed, please tell me! Thanks.
