Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
:psyduck: i thought it'd be, like, one of those beta test weekend things where you play the game and write up some reports if you feel like it. Not literally loving go to the office and get grinded down by the 9-5 machine. For a t-shirt!

Funny part is that I bet there are enough weird bethesda zealots that this will actually happen.

Goddamn, I figure if you have to go into a goddamn office to test the game, there's no way that wouldn't count as employment, but on the other hand, TEXAS :clint:

I can't wait for the listing where you help them beta test their toolchain by creating and placing assets. Or where you help beta test their help desk by troubleshooting Todd's laptop.

Bethesda released an Inside the Vault that detailed the new survival mode (which I guess is still in BETA?). Highlights include:

Bethesda posted:

You’re free to create new characters for Survival mode, and encouraged to do so, but you can also use your existing ones. If you do take on Survival mode with an existing character, keep in mind that all your progress from Adventure mode will travel with you, and anything that affects your character in one game mode will also affect them in the other. This means that if you fire off all your ammo, level up, complete a quest, spend Caps, or find a fancy new weapon in Survival, this will also be reflected on that character in Adventure. If you’d rather keep your existing characters as they are, we recommend starting a new one when you head into the more challenging Survival mode.

Survival mode is not for the faint of heart! All players, except your teammates or event groupmates, are automatically flagged as hostile toward one another by default. There are no “invitations” to PVP combat in Survival mode. You can attack other players without restriction from the first shot you line up, meaning every encounter you have with a stranger could turn deadly in the blink of an eye.

As this will be our first implementation of a Survival mode, we plan to experiment with different rules after Beta release, such as death mechanics. Currently, players who die in Survival mode will be unable to use the seek revenge respawn option against their aggressors and can only choose to respawn at their C.A.M.P. or Vault 76. We’re also planning to award you double the Caps when you kill another player, and they may drop their Aid or other items in addition to their Junk. Added risks and rewards like these in Survival mode PVP will make each of your deaths more devastating, and every kill you rack up much more lucrative. However, it’s important to note that these changes aren’t set in stone, and we’ll be looking to make adjustments based on playtesting and your feedback during the Survival Beta.

I have attacked people for no reason in F76, but it was for no reason. If they want to give me a special game mode, they need to give me a reason, like double xp, or double loot.

Do you guys follow my illogic?

I can't care less for caps. But I like when people get their rear end kicked, so thats enough for a visit.. but you need to add honey to a trap for it to work.

That would be better, because at least if it was synthetic something wouldn't have to die to make that abomination.

People are pissed that you are able to bring over existing characters into their new "Survival" mode. I doubt anyone is going to be making new characters and be going into that mode at all.
