Anthem hit with Masterwork Ember bug shortly after players protest unpopular loot changes

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Anthem is having a week. Last Friday, in an effort to improve Anthem's endgame grind and fix a few critical issues - for example,澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: the one crashing PS4s - BioWare released 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:update 1.0.3. Among other things, this update removed common and uncommon items from the reward pool for high-level activities - and by other things, I mean catalyzing the l✨atest in a wearying line of controversies around Anth✃em's loot system. 

As players quickly noticed, update 1.0.3 also unintentionally buffed the drop rates of Masterwork and Legendary gear. Players were thrilled to see endgame activit🌱ies regularly reward endgame gear: in a Reddit post with nearly 6,000 upvotes, user asked BioWare to keep the overbuffed drop rates. Sadly, the loot rain ended shortly after the update went live when BioWare returned the drop rates to normal. 

Intentional or not, many Anthem players preferred the bugged loot system. In response to this feedback, BioWare live services head Chad Robertson addressed the situation on , saying, "We appreciate all the feedback from the community on the ꦗgame. We love the passion and share it. We’re not yet fully happy with the game’s loot behavior either … In the next few months, we’re expecting to make significant changes, but we’re starting with some incremental 📖ones so we can better navigate that evolution." 

More recently, in a Reddit post which has over 10,000 upvotes at the time of this writing, user encouraged players to protest Anthem's loot system by boycotting the game for a week - this week, in fact. "Bring back the bug and let ⛦us taste the loot shower," it re꧃ads. "Stop playing from [March 11 - March 15] to make a point." Regardless of whether this movement has any real impact on Anthem's player count, the fact that it's even a thing is pretty telling.

BioWare community manager Jesse Anderson that Masterwork Embers are dropping less frequently than they should, and said an incoming fix 🃏will "get drop rates back up to what they were before the 1.0.3 update." Of course, that just brings us back to that update, and players clearly weren't happy with that either. The timing of the Ember bug and the rescinded Masterwork drop rates really couldn't have been worse, but they're both just 𝕴symptoms of a bigger problem with Anthem's loot system.
