    Mostly concrete which is easy enough to get but I had 8 heavy laser turrets, a fusion generator, decontamination shower, and 8 small purifiers. So it's not really the walls that are the problem.

    Supposedly private servers are coming "sooner than you think" so I guess this won't be or will be less of a problem.

    Base tip: Don't leave stuff out that's too expensive for you to replace.

    I could have left the server, that's it.

    I still haven't rebuilt and there were a pair of low levels hanging around it for a bit so I'd like to think they found it cool and interesting to find a bombed out base on a cliff edge.

    This would get me to buy in. I've been cruising in FO4 for a little while, and I must admit a heightened interest in seeing what 76 actually is. Hopefully it's soon soon.

    "It would be cool to play Fallout with my friends" somehow turned into "Persistent world MMO" and those are not even remotely the same thing.

    I literally just want Fallout 4 where I can join my friends' game or they can join mine. Hopefully private servers will provide that.

    Yeah, this is what I originally thought the game was going to be. Something like Ark or Conan where you can set up a server and just log in and sandbox with friends or by yourself if you want.

    I got it a while back on sale, and I do like it for the most part, but the extent of my interaction with other people is basically “Well instead of me and Danse teaming up to kill a Deathclaw its me and Ed_Rando567 teaming up to kill a scorchbeast”.

    Occasionally instead of seeing a neat building in the wilderness designed by a dev I will see one designed by a player. Sometimes someone theows out a nuke and I have to move over a bit.



    Which eh...

    I'm kind of skeptical on how useful private servers are going to be. Unless they've released more info about them, all I've heard is that they'll be hosted by Bethesda and there was a vague mention of mods. Unless they lock characters to that server, I don't see things like drop rates or damage/health being modifiable, and if they have technical reasons for the stash limit I don't see that being modifiable either. My guess is you'll have to rent them, and can select from a list of curated mods to use (once that gets added). I don't know if they'll have much use beyond ensuring that only you and friends can play together. Hopefully I'm wrong.

  • XeddicusXeddicus Registered User regular
    Yeah, they're going to be useless almost certainty overall. There are technical reasons for the stash limit you won't be able to change that unless you're running it locally and no way that'll be the case barring a miracle and what a waste of a miracle.

    The daily objectives have been alarmingly shit lately. I hope they aren't gradually changing them over to more difficult ones to encourage people to buy atoms but there have sure been a lot along the lines of "take a picture of a naked player in a nuke zone".

    Prediction for tomorrow: take a camera picture of a level 76 player riding a scorchbeast in a nuke zone while naked at night and raining in combat.

    Those are the fucking worst.

    Daily challenges are something you should be able to quickly get done, not have to wrangle someone into putting on a stupid outfit and doing something insanely specific.

    Server hop at the water park until the tourist spawns next to the car in the parking lot. That's the most reliable way I've found to get it. It can take like 20 tries though. It's silly how rare the event is considering they tied daily/weekly AND Tadpole badges to it.

    Well Vault 94 is released and...eh. It throws a shit ton of enemies at you (including ghouls that will hit you underwater while you can't fight back) but the XP is terrible. I was getting 14xp for a Mirelurk that could tear through my X-01 in a few hits which leads to just cheesing it which isn't enjoyable. I'm really hoping the end rewards are worth all the ammo burning but I died to said Mirelurk and didn't have the urge to start over.

    So it seems that the power armor helmets being sold at Gamestop (NOT the ones included with the FO '76 Collector's Edition, apparently) are being recalled, because they could pose a mold hazard.

    Licensing issues probably. Does bethesda actually own Fallout and Fallout 2 in the US or just the IP rights?

    Even if they do it could be something as simple as one of the music composers or voice actors not wanting to play ball. Copyright law is slighty different and they are probably in a situation that will fly in the EU but not US.

    So you can sub to it like any other MMO and get benefits (unlimited crafting storage, woo!), while also being able to play on your own server?

    Hell yes, I'm in.

    At $12.99 a month, or $99 a year, I'm not in.

    $5 a month? maybe, if only so I could afford a refrigerator and have space for all my junk

    Same price as any other MMO.

    i would also argue that most MMOs have demonstrated a standard for the rate of their content release that fallout 76 has not yet met

    Also noted this tidbit, these paid private servers arent persistent and don't support mods:
    If no Fallout 1st members remain, all players in that Private World will receive a notification that the world will soon shut down.
    Private Worlds do not currently support mods and behave just like Adventure Mode as you know it today.

    I would disagree. In just the year it's been out, FO76 has added a lot of new stuff (and done a number of events), certainly on par with other MMOs I've played.

    On the one hand, if this helps fund and supports Fallout 76 with new content Im in favor. But I also think if theyre going this route they need to release what theyve already been promising for the past year. And maybe make the game free to play if they're going the MMO route while giving players that already paid for the base game something. I just wish there was more bang for the buck with this new subscription model

    The only way I'd really see this as appealing would be persistent private servers. What's the point of a building game that doesn't have that?

    What is this I don't even.

    It's possible I'm just easy to bribe, too. The biggest reason I maintain my sub to ESO, for instance, is for the benefit of having infinite crafting storage, so the same carrot here certainly works for me... :lol:

    I would be fine with having increased storage space available to buy with Atomic Points because at least you can earn those in-game. Bethesda has said they're going to add more utility items to the shop, so maybe they will. I've been at max capacity for awhile and hate having to figure out what stuff to get rid of (probably all my fertilizer)

    They're adding private, player run servers right? I'm not interested in paying more for this game since i sort of regret buying it (on sale no less) as is.

    They're not player run, but they are private for up to 8 people. I don't see any mention of being able to tweak settings per server, which is what I figured anyway (even though that's the whole appeal of a private server, IMO), but $13 a month is a bit steep just to play by yourself.
