In the shooter Anthem , there is a bug that throws players into missions far beyond their weight class through Quickplay. A “Level 3 player” was reportedly thrown into the final mission. There is a risk of spoilers.
This is the problem: Apparently, Anthem’s matchmaking is causing issues. A clip of an incident is circulating online, where a “Level 3” player was thrown into the last mission of Anthem.
The Level 3 player was assigned to a team of veterans as a “substitute” after another player apparently left the mission.
The streamer Brandon “Seagull” Larned captured the incident, posted it on Twitch, and spread it via Twitter.
Players say: “Risk of spoilers”
The experienced players in the mission advised the newcomer to leave the game immediately to avoid spoilers.
As indicated in Seagull’s tweet, the Level 3 player did just that. However, he was replaced five minutes later by a Level 2 player.
This is what BioWare says: Producer Ben Irving was asked why Quickplay missions are not restricted to those that a player has already completed. This could easily lead to being “spoiled”.
Irving replied that this is a bug.
What other issues are there? Anthem’s Quickplay seems to be experiencing some problems at the moment. Apparently, the level display is not always reliable. It is reported that a player at level 16 was suddenly displayed as a level 9 player.
This is Seagull’s advice: The streamer Seagull bluntly advises: “Don’t use Quickplay if you’re new to Anthem. It can throw you into the final mission if someone is missing and spoil you.”
Perhaps this is one of the bugs that will be fixed in the Day-One Patch of Anthem. Currently, the game is not officially released yet; only owners of “Origin Access Premier” can play it now.
