So my partner and I spent last night making newbie-friendly camps in the Forest near the Wayward, because she really really likes the idea of having a waystation where people can get purified water, cheap schematics, that sort of thing. It's really sweet considering she's only level 12 and is already trying to look out for the other newbies.  Is it possible to learn a schematic for a donation box like the ones in Flatwood and the train stations? We want to have a free supplies drop box at her camp, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to make that happen.

That doesn't prevent dicks from stealing stuff intended for newbies but the same would be true for a camp donation box.

True, either way dicks will come pillage the free purified waters, the donation boxes just act as a visual reminder that they're for new players, as opposed to vending machines. I guess we can just put up some signage by the machine and hope that people are inspired to be less dickish. It could happen!

I'm sorry I genuinely think you're both admirable and wonderful but you're both basically Lucy before realizing how the world works. But please don't let that stop you, the world needs some Lucys.

Why is the lighting in FO76 so bad compared to FO4? It’s like the game is on fullbright 90% of the time

At launch the lighting was much better, lots of bespoke area specific lighting such as in the mega mansions got ripped out. The day/night cycle was gutted due to player complaints as well. There are various mods on the Nexus, but I can't speak for them. RTX HDR, toying with brightness/contrast seem pretty good for me.

FO76 continues to endear itself to me. I set up a way station near the bridge to Wayward and got a bunch of newbies to pass through, take some supplies and shower me in heart emojis. The only reason I want to advance is so that I have more stuff to pass on. Someone set up an advanced base near me, came over and dropped ten plans and a pretty cool gun. I'm surprised at how generous everyone has been. Even the voice chat is chill.

Some tips for new and returning players: Buy cold shoulder (and potentially auto axe) crafting from the atom shop. The bundle might be cheaper. You can grind stamps for it, but the atom shop purchase is account wide and way less obnoxious. Cold shoulder is an instant god roll and one of the few viable shotguns in the game. It's only going to get better with the upcoming rebalance. Must have if you're interested in a shotgun character. It's also fantastic for leveling, and the utility of freezing whatever. The auto axe is great, but the chainsaw is pretty comparable. Minerva, the travelling gold buillon merchant is worth studying up on and planning for. She carries stuff like the gauss weapon plans at a discount. If you're running pistols I highly encourage you to pick up the crusader plan from her. https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Minerva Your choices during the Wastelanders quests (and luck avoiding bugs) determine which unique items and plans you get. Slug Buster from the raider's quest is one of the most slept on legendaries in the game; you can sometimes find it in player vendors. Great for gunslingers, commandos, riflemen, and guerillas. Many weapon types are viable for the endgame now, assuming you build for them and get the right weapon. Be prepared to study up before investing. Or just do whatever as long as you're having fun. Off the top of my head these weapon classes can all do top tier damage if you really want to solo bosses; gunslinger, shotguns, auto melee, commando.

Rinkles posted:i played at launch. Fair enough, me too since beta. The games have different art styles and Todd was full of poo poo about 16x the detail. Fallout 76 is an asset flip. That said the lighting got changed a few times with Wastelanders, The Pitt, and Nuka World. Those launches were pretty okay, but not developed by the A-Team. Parts of these projects were outsourced to companies like Skybox Labs or Double Eleven and it shows. The Whitespring renovation is another example of the lighting just being stripped away.

yeah I don't mean to be rude or whatever but every single multiplayer game except Journey runs the risk of having an n-word event, and I guess it's likely that someone has spelled it out in Journey through morse code or interpretive dance.

RTX HDR + Dynamic Vibrance helped a bit for outside lighting but in-door lighting still alternates between blown out or just flat. I'm starting to think that it's just not fixable  .

I decided to install fo4 on my ps4 (I'm far too poor for good computer or current-gen) so i could tour all the settlements and buildings i made in 2016 or whatever. Turns out the game is completely broken and you can't even launch it on ps4 if you have the robit crafting dlc.

On PS5 (no dlc) when the opening cutscene finished for me and you're staring at yourself in the mirror, the game never played any dialogue and I had to close and restart the application twice before the game progressed.

I've been playing FO76 on PC with minimal issues, thankfully. It's, like, fine, I suppose. Unfortunately, it's less "playing Fallout with friends!" and more "playing an action MMO solo". But I suppose it's nice to play any new Fallout again. Sigh.

FO76 has just been crazy the past week. I went from being just a random dude watching everything explode around me due to quad railroad rifle headshots to being the superstar in nearly every event I've done. With my perks, Union Armor, and Holy Fire I end up tanking every boss creature while a swarm of sub level 50s harmlessly chip away at it. It's actually kind of refreshing having events that are actually somewhat of a challenge because it isn't full of level 200+ players. I also spent some time making low level handmades, fixers, etc and handing them out which was fun too.

I just got FO76 (PC version) for free via amazon gaming. The code is redeemed in the microsoft store, not steam. This raised a few questions for me: 1. How is the game on PC these days? I have paid zero attention to it. What fun level we talkin' here compared to release, which was widely panned? 2. Is there crossplay between MS store and Steam (guessing: yes), and also between PC and consoles? (probably not?) 3. Are there hackers on PC? Like people that do client side hacks to get a ton of nukes or caps or whatever and grief other players? 4. How bad is the pay2win and microtransaction aspect? 5. Is the MS Store version gimped at all or good to play? I literally never play games via MS Store. thanks

pmchem posted:I just got FO76 (PC version) for free via amazon gaming. 1. It depends on what you're expecting out of the game. NPCs, new storylines, events, gear, etc. have been added since launch. Varying quality, but the game is absolutely more stable, varied, and fun. It's not a No Man's Sky style redemption story, but the community motivated Microsoft to keep improving it gradually, on a budget. 2. Yes to cross play on PC. Not with consoles, although this actually seems to be a bug up Bethesda's rear end and may happen with the influx of new players. 3. Not really, sort of. Lots of old legacy duped items, etc.You probably won't ever notice it, and if you do you can just hop servers. Turn off voice chat. 4. Not awful, but some atom shop stuff is essential and definitely exploits fomo. Lots of stuff is available for free, and if you're meticulous and wait for deals you can do pretty well on that front with the freebies and free currency. 5. Limited or no mod support, otherwise it's the same game. The mods are great (chat, perk load out managers, stat meters, etc.) but not essential to enjoying the game. If you love it you can find cheap steam keys all over. Your progress will carry over, I believe. Akalies fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Apr 20, 2024 |

I find it kinda weird that 76 starts you off with the ability to construct floors and roofs, but not walls?  I ended up buying a wall type with the atomic points from Fallout 1st, but really?

If you just avoid other players and play through the original campaign (following the Overseer, basically), I think it's a pretty fun Fallout game. I didn't particularly enjoy trying to play it as an MMO, but I'm not big in to MMOs while I do enjoy Fallout games. Bremen fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Apr 20, 2024 |

I pick up fo76 on steam for 10bux and was worried the progression from game pass wouldn't carry over but it did. No more grinding to get my power armors. Though I realized my biggest issue is my weapons sucked rear end. I had a homemade for my general exploring and adventuring built, .50 cal for power armor events and the soul survivor for a sneaky sniper built. All which are just terrible in general. I went to the rusty pick and spent a bunch of my legendary script in hopes I got something decent, and after spending 2k I got a vampire tommy gun which is super effective, and a two poo poo plasma pistol which isn't too bad either. I'll need to look through my crafting specs to see if I can built a better heavy weapon. I do have a nearly weightless rocket launcher but rockets are so heavy its not worth it.
