Bioware fortæller endelig mere om loot i det nye Anthem

Som du måske allerede ved, så valgte Bioware, efter mange klager fra spillere verden over, samt skuffende spillerantal, at erkende spillets mange fejl, og samtidig løftede de sløret for en stor kommende relancering af spillet, som for nu har kodenavnet "Anthem Next". Ligesom Fallout 76's Wastelanders-udvidelse, eller Ghost Experience-opdateringen til Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, skal relanceringen forhåbentlig igen skabe positive energi omkring Anthem.

Og nu er Bioware så småt begyndt at åbne op omkring den nye version af spillet via et blogindlæg, hvor de berør et af det originale spils største problematikker, nemlig loot.

Blogindlægget er fyldt med detaljer, og byder desuden på en opdateret UI, som du kan se på billederne herunder, men det hele opsummeres i følgende punkter:

Respect Your Time

• Increase the frequency of Loot Drops


• Loot is viable more often; All items are better and more competitive, but there's still a chance of getting something exceptional


• All loot rarities have strategic value throughout progression

Embrace Choice
Y

• ou can pursue specific loot without relying on randomness alone; Quests; Specialized Vendors; Unique Loot Tables


• Modify your loot, including rerolling inscriptions and leveling up items

Create a Rewarding Loot Experience

• Loot feels exciting and more noticeable when it drops, and is celebrated when collected


• Rare enemies (aka "walking treasure chests") create exciting moments to get a burst of loot all at once

Keep it Accessible and Immediate

• Reveal and equip loot right away


• Complete revamp of the equipment sheet - including a detailed stat sheet (not shown)


• The equipment sheet can be accessed from anywhere, allows you to easily see what you have equipped in each slot

Reliability of Equipment and Rewards

• Each item has an inscription "budget", based on its Power and Rarity


• No more useless items because they were missing must-have inscriptions (see "Increased weapon dmg by +225%")


• Exceptional items are about getting the exact types of bonuses you want, instead of maxing values on every bonus

Scale for the Future

• Your power cap can be easily increased, and the loot system scales accordingly


• Advanced telemetry data allows us to identify trends and make meaningful balance changes
