A few hours ago, BioWare Global Community Manager Jesse Anderson posted the changelog for update 1.03, going live today in Anthem. This isn’t a major patch but it does contain a plethora of fixes for issues such as the audio drop out bugs. Additionally, BioWare removed previous respawn restrictions and lower quality (common and uncommon) item drops at the level cap.
For more information on what’s coming to Anthem, check our Thursday report.
High level fixes and changes
Respawn restrictions have been removed – Respawn timers are now based on the activity a player is in. Crit-Path, Agent Missions and other non-end game missions now have a respawn timer of 10 seconds. Strongholds, Legendary Contracts, and other end game missions now have a respawn timer of 30 seconds. The respawn timer Freeplay remains unchanged.
