Вместе сделаем Anthem лучше! Для игры вышел большой патч 1.0.3

Представители BioWare сообщают, что для многострадального сетевого ролевого экшена Anthem вышел патч 1.0.3, призванный исправить многочисленные недоработки игры и сделать времяпрепровождение в необычном мире игры ещё увлекательнее и приятнее. Патч 1.0.3 принес с собой исправления множества обнаруженных багов, улучшения качество соединения с серверами, стабильности, баланса и системы лута, а также другие важные изменения. К примеру, игроки теперь могут начать экспедицию из любой точки в пределах стартовой площадки и форта Тарсис, были расширены функциональные возможности джавелинов, отключены ограничения на респаун и много-многое другое. Из любопытного, в зависимости от используемого класса джавелина теперь меняется цвет подсветки геймпада PS4.
Разработчики особенно поблагодарили всех игроков, которые не остались равнодушным, и оперативно сообщали в техподдержку обо всех обнаруженных глюках и недоработках. «Весь коллектив BioWare в данный момент уже усердно трудится над следующим обновлением. Мы продолжим улучшать Anthem с каждым новым патчем. Мы благодарим всех игроков за все ваши отзывы, сообщения об ошибках и поддержку!» — говорится в опубликованном сообщении. Впрочем, некоторые игроки уже заявили, что не заметили существенных изменений в игре с новым патчем.

Напомним, что запуск Anthem сопровождался множеством самых разнообразных проблем, среди которых присутствовали как банальные баги и сетевые недоработки, так и проблемы серьезнее, вроде отключения консолей PlayStation 4 во время игры. Кроме того, недавно обнаружились существенные недоработки в балансе проекта, так как самым эффективным оружием в Anthem оказалась винтовка Defender самого первого уровня, в чём на собственном опыте убедилось множество пользователей.
