Year 2 announcement trailer, from E3:

The official Bethesda page:
https://fallout.bethesda.net. No NPC's, dialogue trees, or Companions ? Um, yeah about that...
The Wiki page:
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_76
I wish I could say that it's full of crafting and questing information, but that wouldn't be true. Is the game playable Solo ? So far, yes, with few problems for me outside of defending the captured resource stations. Apparently the end game is where grouping becomes important, but I'm far away from there.

What's the best way to get plans? I feel like I want to start working on some gear plans, maybe metal armor or something.
Explore. I find Plans all over the place.
Price? ... 11.000 caps.
Resident 8bitdo expert.
Resident hybrid/flap cover expert.
After playing for about 10 hours today, I think this game has more going for it than it seems at first glance. It certainly has some quirks, most of which Bethesda has pledged to fix...but there is definitely something here. I was very skeptical that the "core Fallout loop" would play out in a multiplayer online environment, but so far it very much has. Even without NPC's to interact with it manages to be incredibly content rich. I'm always running in to a little side quest or an event to jump in to. The sense of exploration is incredible. I've seen maybe 15% of the map and there is so much more to see.
I think this is the kind of game people aren't going to "get" at first and it's not going to review particularly great, but I think as time passes and quirks are smoothed out and content is added, it's going to grow on people.

I've not encountered any hacking that I'm aware of, but that's a very small sample size.
I thought I read in the last thread that the no encryption thing was bunk, but I can't find the link now.
Are you wearing power armour?
If you are all your normal armour is unequipped whilst wearing it so the regen won’t work.
Have tried watching my hp out of combat for a couple of minutes, no change.
I've noticed the same thing. I have a tuned up lvl10 hunting rifle that does serious work at range, and for up close fun times I switch to my shotgun. As much as I love my 10mm pistol it just doesn't get it done.
Good to know for PvP. I'll keep my 10mm SMG on me for that purpose. For PvE high damage, slow firing seems to be the ticket.
Maybe, it seems on your cards I think.
I’m max rifleman and expert rifleman and it means my semi-auto combat rifle is my best DPS weapon by far.
I think at a basic level your right, but maybe theirs builds based on the faster guns? Would be intresting to see.
Edit:Just had my first power armour vs power armour fight. It’s a hell of a slug fest compared to being non armoured. (Feels real right for how it should be though)Does validate my theory though. The slower firing guns give too much time between shots for the stim to regen health. Luckily an autoshotgun does work.
Odd.
Yeah, there's so much "it doesn't work right now, check again in five minutes" things around.
I have a regular carrying capacity of 170. Every now and then it jumps up to 250 and stays there until I do something that causes a recalculation, then it drops back to what it should be.
But mostly I use my hunting rifle. I've got about 1,000 rounds and it's ammo type is super common.
I also got my hands on som parts of Raider Power Armour so that has opened up a few more options of where I can go. Now I just need to find the rest. Oddly, for both the Raider, T-45 and T-51 I have looted so far, all of them came with the helmet, left arm and torso. Is that just chance that they all had the same three items, or is that the same for every discoverable suit in the map?
Chance. I have a small pile of T51 chest/left leg/right arm, and none of the other parts.
Of course I can’y Wear any of it yet! Damn levelled armour.

On another topic, how does the INI file work? I have Fallout76.INI, Fallout76Custom.INI and Fallout76Prefs.INI - I created the Custom one myself and added some changes but it still seems to only be reading the default ones.

I have a shit ton of stuff to sell but noone to sell it to, I have no idea where we are supposed to get hundreds of thousands caps to pay for all these plans if many vendors have linked caps stashes and only carry a paltry amount of 200 each.
Trying to come up with some creative CAMP blueprints too, the ability to lock doors with master level locks can make my camp into a fortress against other players.

This White Knight perk in the agility tree that you unlock at 39 is a must have for me now. 90% reduction in armor degradation, and armor is now cheap AF to repair? YES PLEASE.

Will you be able to maintain that, Norgoth ? If so I'll link it in the opening post.
Or just make a glue farm.

Damn really wanted lock pick 2.
Also someone explain workshop resources to me. I spent like an hour looking for places to drop my copper and silver extractors in the airport but no go
Also is workshop kinda full on PvP? Like if if someone wants to take it from me it’s straight up pew pew time?
Lockpicking and Hacking perk cards work different than every other perk card. You don't combine them. You need to equip different lvls of them like lockpick, expert lockpick, and master lockpick. You can't just equip 2 regular lockpick perks. In fact I believe if you have two, one will just disappear making it impossible to equip.
Yeah not a problem.
Ahhh ok. That makes sense
