Anthem Version 1.04 Makes Significant Changes

BioWare has recently stated their commitment to make of Anthem a better game as the developer envisioned the MMO has a title that they’re willing to invest a decade of work and content. In order to accomplish that they’re aware that a lot of fixes, apologies and feedback is needed, but this patch update suggest that they’re on the right path.

Anthem version 1.04 will be releasing next week, featuring a long patch notes it’s clearly that BioWare is desperate to improve the overall experience of the game, but taken a brief look and hearing from the developers at a recent livestream we learn the most important changes, for example, how Elysian Caches works, how BioWare managed to delete the loading screen when players enter the Forge and what fans had been asking for quite a while now, more endgame.

Elysian Caches
• Elysian caches are available at the end of Strongholds when the boss has been killed
• They can contain vanity items and crafting embers
• You get a key for the cache by completing a select daily challenge
• Everyone in the squad receives the rewards, so if all 4 players have keys, you will get 4 rewards
• The number of keys is listed in Fort Tarsis next to how much coin you have

Forge improvements
• There is now no loading screen to get into the Forge
• It can be accessed anywhere from Fort Tarsis
• All equipped components are now listed under the weapons and gear
• These improvements are an incremental step to Forge improvements
• A stat screen is still being investigated. No news to share yet.

Loot
• Stronghold bosses still guarantee one Masterwork on GM difficulty, but now the remaining loot can be rolled for Masterworks/Legendaries
• Strongholds and freeplay chests will see improved drop rates for rarer gear

Legendary missions
• Legendary missions will be added to the game. These are more difficult, replayable critical path missions.
• There will be 6 missions on release, with one playable each day.
• There will be an apex creature at the end of each mission – these can be either an Ursix, Titan, Luminary or Fury
• You do not need to start conversations with NPCs to initiate these missions – they will always be on the map
