Just had to bail on the stronghold because another player picked up an echo and then went afk, or was purposely trolling and refused to turn it in. Either way this feels like a big oversight that needs to be addressed.
We are looking into solutions for this
u/BenIrvo Can you tell us why the "Alt" key (to the left of space) cannot be assigned? I would have liked to use this key to fly over.
I don’t know, I don’t think there is a reason, may be a bug
Well sadly I won't get to experience these patched controls, since playing the "demo" controls made me quit the game during the first mission. I don't have the time to to put up with developer laziness. Considering the performance and controls PC was clearly an afterthought which made me lose what little interest I had to begin with. Maybe they'll get it right with Anthem 2.
That’s a shame, hopefully you will change your mind when people love the launch PC controls
I cannot get the barrel roll to work on PC. Anyone able to get this working properly?
Push A when you push your evade button (mouse wheel in by default)
The console-UI idea of switching menus by using Q/E (or A/D, or anything) makes no sense on a PC. If I see a menu option, I try to click it. I am constantly confounded by the menus because you can see a preview of what's on the next "tab" but you cannot click that next tab. I have to go back and click the tab I'm on for some reason. It's very confusing.
In general: you should never have to use keyboard commands to navigate anything on PC - just click. The mouse is your primary input device. Having shortcuts is fine, but clicking should be the main way to do things.
Also, please allow for faster scrolling, and more obvious scroll bars on the side of long menus so I can more easily grab them and pull them down.
You can click in as part of the fixes. No keybinds required
That’s cool :)
Not sure if this was posted, there is a ton to read so I apologize if this is not the first one.
While playing a stronghold it became clear to me there was one thing I think we should be able to do. I went down was stuck waiting for a revive and my teammates all blues ran past me when they cleared the area and moved on. They had no interest in helping. I feel that when playing a matchmaker game mode we should be able to revive ourselves (or respawn) after a set period of time. I spent a long time just sitting around staring at empty space as I waited for a teammate who felt sorry for me to revive me. It's a bit discouraging being stuck sitting around waiting fifteen minutes for them to decide to help.
Edit: from the below discussion. Some.of the issue is that we cant see downed allies very well in the game. If anthem could have a beacon that pops out of your suit that is visible to teammates then we can be more likely to assist.
The squad widget for launch will help. It will show that a squad mate is downed. Without it, it’s definitely hard to tell

Yes, it’s a shame we couldn’t get this in the demo. Makes a big difference for sure
u/BenIrvo Please add a resolution scaling slider, it's basically a must have feature on PC nowadays. ME: Andromeda had it, and so do all modern Frostbite games.
Do you mean a UI scale slider?
