If you were on an xbox one, vs a Series S/X, it's a solid question. Load times on the older consoles are exceptionally terrible. When nuclear winter was still around, you'd drop into the world a solid 30-45 seconds after those on Series systems. And the lag with npc speech was particularly bad in normal adventure mode.

I did that for a level 8 last night. They randomly sent me a team invite, so I rolled with it, and they followed me around for an hour. Couldn't think of anything to build for them that would be useful at level 8, so I made a .50cal hunting rifle and dropped it with 1000~ rounds for them to pick up. Then my game froze up while we were finishing Feed the People. Kinda feel like I have a little obligation to help new people out after cranking up to level 299. I'm always dumping ammo into cigarette machines outside train stations, too. Not trying to carry a bunch of missiles and 40mm grenades I'm not going to use. Not paying for 1st for the unlimited stash box, so heavy ammo I don't want always goes in a cigarette machine.

The story quests of Wastelanders and the Steel series have been a joint effort between Beth Maryland and Microsoft fixers. Please remember that Bethesda never intended for 76 to have dialogue tree'd NPCs, much less actually tying them to quests.

I'm pretty sure I had this exact interaction last night actually e: I was stuck in walk mode because I had hit the key (forward slash) and couldn't figure out how to turn it off because they remapped it from the original walk toggle, caps lock and all the google hits mentioned the old key map

Having a super hard time liking this, the dialogue (even the non-interactive tapes) all has these huge weird aggravating pauses between every line and the walking around scavenging containers is also janky and slow. I have something like 2700 hours (!) in Fallout 4 so it's not that I have any problems with Bethesda or the setting. Heck it makes me want to start up F4 right now

Replaying FO4 made me want to start up F76 again, but that feeling was short-lived as I soon remembered the minute to minute gameplay. It'd probably be a great game if they opened it up to modders, though!

It is one of the baffling "bugs" I run into. I watched a video of the QoL changes on the test server and they are very nice. The mothman event looks good. The delayed zeta event is found in the pts files and it sounds great. Some of the upcoming cosmetics look fun too.

Taerkar posted:I suspect the reason for the delay is the server queuing your history to make sure it's not within the last... 200? containers you opened. Containers, like world items with a fixed spawn point (Asylum dresses, for example), reset after 24 hours or after you've picked up 255 random items. So when you open a container the server checks if you've opened it within the last 24 hours, if you've taken an item out of it and how many items you've picked up in general. Container lag, much like any lag that happens when you open a menu (trade/dialog/inventory/social) has several reasons. 1) The world has one or more active nuke zones. All the corpses that turn into meat/ash/goo piles increase the object count. 3 nuke zones at FSP aren't remotely as bad as 3 nukes zones at 3 different locations. 2) Meat Week is on. The 15 minute spawn timer puts severe strain on the server the longer it's up and running. 3) Someone is running a silo and has started launch prep. At that point the game prepares the map for potential nuke zones and preloads the assets required for the visual changes. The nuke blast you see covers the asset switch up and once that's happened, the server starts to recover. The main issue, however, is that Bethesda still hasn't fixed that bug where corpse inventories drop to the ground once the meat/ash/goo piles despawn and exist as actual world items you can see and pick up. This is especially noticable during Meat Week where the event areas are littered with all the poo poo the mobs dropped. Or after Scorched Earth. If you've ever went to Drop Site V9, West-Tek or other popular places and found plans, weapons, bones and other poo poo just lying on the ground, that's the bug. All those extra items put a lot of strain on the server since it keeps track of everything. It's weird how they still haven't fixed that bug but I suspect that fixing it might break the spawns again so they might not want to touch it any time soon.

Excluding Modules and Steel, of course, because that's the only thing people actually want and we can't have that being on sale. For reference, last year we had double XP and Double Score to celebrate and even that was a huge let down because people expected something a lot more interesting. Nukes being put on auto launch every 60 minutes was among the speculation list. Didn't happen. So this year people will likely not log at all since this is just boring and dumb.

Patch notes. Couldn't find it on the Beth site so this is a direct dump of the Reddit post. Halloween is descending on Appalachia with our latest update for Fallout 76, which arrives today. Scare up some fun over the next two weeks by hunting down Spooky Scorched, trick-or-treating at others’ C.A.M.P.s, and by giving out candy from your own home. Read on to catch all the details. Update Highlights Spooky Scorched: Some of the Scorched are celebrating the Halloween season by dressing in costume and dropping special loot! Pass Out Candy from your Haunted House: Claim a free Spooky Candy Bowl from the Atomic Shop, place it in your C.A.M.P., and fill it with Mystery Candy for trick-or-treaters to complete Challenges and earn rewards. Trick-or-Treat Around Appalachia: Step into your favorite costume and collect Mystery Candy from other players’ C.A.M.P.s to receive additional Challenge rewards. Update Version 1.6.1.18 Check the download sizes below for today’s patch on your platform of choice: PC (Bethesda.net): 2.3 GB PC (Microsoft Store): 2.2 GB PC (Steam): 9.3 GB PlayStation: 9.2 GB Xbox: 8.8 GB Spooky Scorched Are on the Prowl Halloween is almost here, and some of the Scorched are getting into the spirit of the season by dressing in their most festive costumes as they creep around Appalachia! From now until November 2, whenever you spot “Spooky Scorched” during your adventures, or hear their spine-chilling holiday sounds, it’s time to go on the hunt. Spooky Scorched will spawn as 1, 2, or 3-star legendaries, which means you’ll receive a legendary item every time you take one down. You’ll also receive a Spooky Treat Bag, which you can open to get some goodies like consumables, ammo, and a chance at some Halloween themed Plans. Finally, you’ll receive a piece of Mystery Candy that you can eat to receive one of five random buffs, which may include stat boosts, or even Nukashine-like effects. TIP: While it can be tempting to devour all your Mystery Candy right away, you may want to hold on to a few pieces so that you can take part in our Trick-or-Treating event this year (more on that below). Please also note that, like the Holiday Scorched, Spooky Scorched will not spawn inside of interiors. Trick or Treat! The Scorched won’t be the only ones haunting the Wasteland this Halloween! From now until November 2, you can dress up in costume to go trick-or-treating around Appalachia with your friends, and even give out candy to trick-or-treaters who visit your home. Along the way, you’ll be able to complete new trick-or-treating Challenges to earn rewards. Pass Out Candy to Trick-or-Treaters Visit the Atomic Shop to claim a free Spooky Candy Bowl before November 2, build it in your C.A.M.P., and fill it with Mystery Candy for trick-or-treaters to enjoy. Get your hands on Mystery Candy by looting Spooky Scorched, or buying some with Caps from train station vendors around Appalachia. TIP: Place your Spooky Candy Bowl in an obvious spot in your C.A.M.P. where trick-or-treaters can easily find it. Please also note that Spooky Candy Bowls cannot be placed inside Shelters. Your C.A.M.P. will display a pumpkin icon on the Map once you’ve added Mystery Candy to your Spooky Candy Bowl, which will let other Dwellers know they are welcome to stop by for a treat. If your candy bowl is empty, the pumpkin icon will stop appearing for your C.A.M.P. until you refill it. Each trick-or-treater can only take one piece of candy per hour from your candy bowl, so there’s no need to worry about anyone swiping more than their fair share. Over the next two weeks, you will receive Daily and Weekly Challenges to give out candy, which you can complete to earn rewards! Daily Challenges will grant you one of several possible rewards, like a consumable item, Perk Card Pack, Lunchbox, Repair Kit, or some S.C.O.R.E. Weekly Challenges to give candy to trick-or-treaters can award S.C.O.R.E., rare crafting materials, or even Halloween costumes. Complete both Weekly Challenges and you’ll also receive a new Popcorn Machine for your C.A.M.P.! Go On the Hunt for Candy! Dust off your favorite costume, grab a few friends, and leave space in your pack for plenty of candy, because it’s time to trick or treat your way around the Wasteland! Open the Map to spot C.A.M.P.s that have a pumpkin icon, which indicates that the owner currently has a Spooky Candy Bowl stocked up with Mystery Candy. Each day until November 2, you will receive a new Daily Challenge to trick or treat at other Dwellers’ C.A.M.P.s. Like the Daily Challenges to give out candy, completing each trick-or-treating Daily will net you one of several rewards, including consumables, a Perk Card Pack, Lunchbox, Repair Kit, or some S.C.O.R.E. Make sure you’re wearing a costume when you take Mystery Candy from someone else’s Spooky Candy Bowl to ensure you’ll receive Challenge credit. There are many different costume options available in-game, such as those you can find during your adventures, a variety of Unstoppables-themed rank-up rewards from the Season 6 Scoreboard, as well as costumes you can purchase in the Atomic Shop.

I wasn't explicitly hunting them down, I did daily ops and punched through the rest of the dailies, knocked out a few weekly. I jumped on for another hour and found 6 more spookies. I'll probably have the season finished by the end of the week, hit 95 today.

Empty candy bowls are a mild nuisance, I usually hit every camp with a vendor up in search of plans, free .38 ammo, and stable cobalt flux for my ultracite .45 stockpile. Took an hour to find my first spooky scorched today, while purposefully hunting them. Killed probably 100 scorched before I found my first spooky, then I found 5 in the same place maybe 10 minutes later. The spread on them is not ideal.
