Crap, for whatever reason it didn't occur to me you could scrap PA for plans.

I have yet to get a mod from scrapping, but I haven't seen any evidence it is or isn't possible. Every other weapon or armor works like that.

Edit: It seems like mods for weapons and armor are based on the amount of certain weapons or armor you scrap. I wish there was an actual bar or way to track how close you were to the next mod.

I don’t care about ripping into legit ridiculous things like the bugs or the nylon bag fiasco or whatever. Legit criticism. The game is at BEST half-finished and it absolutely should not have shipped in the state it’s in. I don’t know to what extent it will actually be fixed given both Bethesda and the industry’s failing to fix their poo poo historically but also of late.

Laying into people that enjoy playing the game and being personally offended that people could like things you don’t is just petty. I don’t care about “This game is broken,” but “You’re a broken piece of poo poo shill for enjoying this game” is entirely out of line. In my opinion. And it’s not an exaggeration, either. Nearly anyone that comes in here and enjoys the game gets poo poo on for wanting to discuss the content of a Fallout game in the Fallout thread.

I honestly have seen very little people posting about the game getting attacked.

It rarely happens, people are just getting their personality tied up into the media they consume again and confusing 'attacking lovely game practice' as personal attacks.

Don’t take other people enjoying it personally?

For the amount of people complaining about investment in video game franchises as an identity there’s an awful lot of ironic vitriol in here that goes way beyond simple schadenfreude and I’m honestly starting to wonder who the actual “broke brained” people are. Meeting “I’m kind of enjoying the game for what it was advertised as except for the bugs” with gently caress YOU YOU’RE WRONG is some goony goon poo poo and maybe y’all should just go back to horse collecting in RDR2 or stroking a nostalgia boner playing Fallout 2 or whatever it is you’d actually rather be doing.

We get it. You’re mad about a franchise that apparently jumped the shark over a decade ago. You can move on. It’s okay. There’s life outside games you don’t like, and building a personality around bitching about things other people do for no reason other than bitching is pretty tiring. Find something else to do, you hate it so much.

Fallout 76 gets the honor of joining No Man's Sky, Sea of Thieves, and Dragon Age 2 as one of the all time greatest Games threads.

You have to server hop until you get to a server where that guy hasn't been just killed withion the last hour by somebody else on the server.

Well, yeah. When a big company promises a finished product, charges full price for it, and then delivers something which is obviously not finished, that should get attention.

Here is a very important point: whether or not the game is finished/delivers what was promised/is a ripoff is a completely separate question from whether or not the game is enjoyable. If someone sees a debate about whether or not the game is a cash-in and responds with something like "well, I enjoy, it so there!" or "I guess I'm human scum because I've been enjoying it." then they are missing the point. You could enjoy the game while still acknowledging that it is not up to par, or you could dislike the game but also think it's not a ripoff. It's two separate questions.

I have yet to see anyone here personally attack anyone else for liking the game, or even say they are wrong for liking it. The closest I have seen is people being called dumb for buying it and being surprised at how broken it is.

I dont know HOW it happened.... but my f076 char got bugged with an infinite stamina while sprinting glitch i can sprint and my AP will drain as normal all the way down to about 5% and then it wont drain anymore and i can sprint forever
it also seems to remain between logins...best bug ever maybe esp since i have Speed Demon mutation that makes me move 20% faster

lol

Also; Re Enclave mutations - DO NOT BUY the serum if you are already mutated. I had 10 mutations stacked and wanted Healing Factor, so i coughed up the 3700 caps for the serum from the enclave vendor, made drat sure i had Starched Genes perk card removed and drank it.... In my effects, i see the effect of "negates harmful effects" for Healing Factor with the 1hr timer, but in my mutations list Healing Factor was not added. Yay, thanks for taking my hard earned caps..

That post says literally nothing about people who enjoy the game, or people who bought the game. Again: saying that the game is poo poo is not a personal attack on people who enjoy it. Asking why anyone would buy the game is not a personal attack on people who bought it. Why is this so hard to understand?
