Put the looter back in the shooter
As promised, BioWare are starting to publish updates as they rethink their not-so-well-received online sci-fi shooterAnthem. Today’s update specifically talks about their goals for the loot system, which they want to be more reliable and respect a player’s time. It doesn’t sound like anything is set in stone yet, so this will definitely be alengthy journeyfor Anthem as they previously estimated.
“A good player experience depends on the loot system being extensible and robust, and a lot can go wrong. A lotdidgo wrong,” says studio director Christian Dailey. “We fell short here and we realized that building something new from the ground up was going to be required.”
As they mentioned when they gave theirintention to publish updatesabout the rework, BioWare caution that even what they’ve shared today is work in progress material and that they “will continue to test and experiment over the coming months.”
