If you put in a ticket to have your crummy bag replaced, all your info have been leaked to the internet. No joke.

There should be plenty of reddits and youtubes about it already.

I genuinely can’t remember a game that kept loving up this bad. I was going to say sim city, but they offered refunds lol.

I don't care.

I don't. I am probably not the key demographic of this subreddit which is likely gamers aged 16-25 with loads of free time. There are people in this sub with hundreds of hours into this game. I think I just got the 76 hour achievement the last night, and I have played since BETA.

I am nearly 40. I have a wife and kids, I have a full time job. I play a couple hours here and there during the week.

I do not play for 8-12 hours a day every day.

So I am a filthy casual. I get it.

And that is key to my perspective of why I don't care. I just turn on my Xbox and I play. I do whatever quests I had on from the last time I played. I dink around in my CAMP. I go on some loot runs here and there. I fiddle around. I am like level 38 or something. I never run into significant bugs, I rarely get booted from the game or freeze. The only time the game made me rage was a week ago I was killed while over-encumbered and got the dreaded respawn bug. I have a friend who plays that also is nearly 40, has a wife and kids and we sometimes can play together on a Saturday or Sunday night. if we are lucky.

So when I read things like workshops were slowed down and produce ore not scrap (I mean, makes sense right? why you taking scrap outta the ground?) or things like exploits being addressed. Server hopping cap stashes being stopped. I don't care. I don't care because I don't do that.

I am a filthy casual... and to be honest, when I read over what has changed I think the vast majority of it even makes sense.

I do understand anger about incomplete patch notes. people should know what happened with the update, and not be surprised about it particularly when it changes strategy.

I get that people think it is more important to fix freezes and bugs than it is to worry about game balance. I agree.

But at the end of the day, I can't waste any time fuming about this. I worked all day yesterday, I came home. I made dinner. I clean up and did some chores around the house. hung out with the family for a while, then sat down to play the game for all of about 1.5 hours before going to bed. I logged on, my stuff was there. I wrapped up a quest. I finally wandered over to the Cranberry bog area. I did the Uranium fever event with a bunch of other people I got some loot, found some plans, had a good time. Nothing froze, nothing broke. My enjoyment was not ruined due to the patch.

So, there you have it. I don't care.

And the reason I am writing this is simply perspective. There are a lot of people that play this game. A whole lot more than the 150K on this subreddit. I have a feeling a good chunk of them are like me.

People that play a couple hours a week when they can. People on consoles. people that are not at endgame. people that just play the game and don't worry about Min-Maxing every possible thing they can. People that don't even consider server hopping mobs or cap stashes. People like me that get on this subreddit to find a good idea of something to go do during their short 1-2 hour gaming windows.

Star Wars The Old Republic had a series of massive fuckups, but EA/Bioware knew the Star Wars license is a license to print money so they fixed it up best they could over time all things considered.

Until then they were doing poo poo like banning users over negative feedback/linking to the hidden unsubscribe page, not letting banned users unsubscribe because they couldn't view the page, disabling the unsubscribe page entirely when the game started getting bad press, the game being a buggy hosed up mess, the game itself was unbalanced as poo poo, and all the usual poo poo ontop of the crazy poo poo.

Pigbuster posted:

Wait they disabled the unsubscribe page? Did they really make it so people couldn't actually stop paying them money?

lovely Wizard posted:

Yep, it's hard to prove whether it was incompetence or malice, but they were banning people for direct linking the unsubscribe direct url on the forums so keep that in mind.

Studios get this sense that they have to hire 80 managers who complain to their bosses when their employees ask for help so they replace that employee with a guy in QA that said he could do my job better but after a week he no showed.

That's right, now that r/fo76 has been compromised by people critically looking at the game filthy haters, a new subreddit has been spawned that is finally getting away from the negativity surrounding this game.

I legit don't think you could make a consumer better than modern gamers.

I can't take my wife out for a movie and dinner date night without spending $75.00 for the maybe 3 hours we are gone. That is $25/hr for entertainment the way I see it. That means I would have to play for 2 hours to get that same ROE(return on entertainment). I just got the 76hr achievement last night I think it was. That is $.67/hr for entertainment. Nothing to shake a stick at.

Holy poo poo my mind is just blown by the leaked customer information. Not only has the train gone off the rails, it was transporting several thousand gallons of crude oil before it careened off a mountain, rolled down through a forest, then spilled its remaining contents into the ocean before bursting into flame and setting the whole thing alight. This is legitimately insane. This is Hindenberg gaming. Bethesda have finally poo poo the bed so hard that they're gonna have to change whether they want to or not.

I guess I'm some kind of masochist because I'm actually enjoying this game, but the fact that it has race conditions I can exploit with my loving keyboard is just ... what that actual gently caress in tyol 2018.

Just a couple comments from a spiritual leader!
First. I love that in a semi-rant post I made, a subreddit idea was hatched and in a couple hours it was made and there are 300 people in here. Awesome.

Second. I in no way intent to be a leader. I am, after all, a filthy casual. I didn't start this or suggest it, but I still think it is amazing.

But, I do have some suggestions for direction.

First: A filthy casual is a self-implied title. you don't have to be a certain age or married or whatever. You just have to be a "less" serious member of the gaming community. A person less concerned with maximizing every aspect of the game. It doesn't mean you don't want cool stuff or to have a good time. It just means you aren't spending every waking moment on a spreadsheet calculating maximum DPS for each of your weapons with each perk card...

A person that simply enjoys playing but doesn't make the game the central feature of their life.

Second: post all the drat memes you want. why not? we play for fun.

Third: Talk strategy and events and give tips. why not? yes we are casuals, but a lot of time it is because we are time limited. Getting a good tip on how to maximize our hour of free time tonight could be real helpful.

Fourth: I see this has already started, and I love it, but be a community! this is a place for casual hookups (giggity) in gaming. A place to find some chill people to wander the wasteland with and not stress about needing to be level 225 with a 5* super rocket sledge of death and maxed out X01 armor...
