a pale ghost posted:This game is on sale on Steam and I'm curious about it, is it as buggy as people say? I really want to get into a roleplaying game like this but I don't want to play a game that screws me over constantly I started playing this about a week ago and the only disasterous bug I've encountered, was a three-star Legendary annihilator sentry bot with rockets that instakilled any character, even my friends level 200+ guy. In it's current state, it's by far the least buggy Bethesda game I have ever played and the performance is somehow way better than FO4/Skyrim. I can look at god-rays without my fps slowing to a crawl. My biggest complaints is the Atom Shop. I finally get enough atoms to buy a cool outfit I saw on the wiki and it's just not there? There were only elf costumes last week and now there's only gala stuff. How do you gently caress up a real money store so bad?

hawowanlawow posted:Did some googling and wow... you really can't share quest progress? What a complete piece of poo poo. Why even bother releasing the content or calling it multiplayer? Truly baffling how anyone could release a game in this state. Shameful. The old main story with the scorched plague is completely doable with several players, but a lot of the newer Wastelanders & BoS main quests is solo only. I get why they did it, but I wish there was an option to progress through those quests together, even if it meant that somebody else could mess up your story. edit: also ho,ly poo poo do not pay 2500 caps for the weapon shipment in Foundation, you don't get anything, not even any settler rep

buglord posted:Is FO76's nuclear winter mode dead for PC players? Takes me a long time to find a match, and when I do its 20 people. USWest on Gamepass for PC, if it matters. Depends on the time. There's definitely a dead zone between the russians going to bed and the americans coming home from work, where you can wait for a long while before you get a game. As for caps, get to level 50 and do Daily Ops, scorched earths/a collossal problem for legendaries you can sell to vendors and stable flux which players buys for stupid amount of caps (like 3-400 each).

i flunked out posted:Do ultracite ammo, its pretty much always worth the added mats. If you have an ultracite primed weapon, do you get ultracite or normal ammo for completing a daily op? Also Nuclear Winter is extremly fun, already at rank 32 after a couple of weeks. The speed of each game, the weapons, Last Laugh being a 100% chance, the rewards for both adventure and NW, building stupid poo poo with CAMPS, nukes acting as a camper deterrent... It's insane to me that the loving Fallout 76 Battle Royale is the first pvp video game I've enjoyed in like 7 years.

The Lone Badger posted:The first melee attack in VATS teleports me to my opponent, is there any benefit to making the followup attacks in VATS. You can usually bypass the shell defences on mirelurks and such by VATSing them instead of manually striking them, and I believe VATS still does full damage if an enemy tries to block your melee attack.

I think the shared inventory is for the power armour workstations. Also Boston Airport as a settlement sucks if you don't have caravans to other settlements, because it's a nightmare trying to find dirt patches to grow food/water.

Stuff like + bash damage is obviously garbage 98% of the time, explosive is good all the time; but effects like faster movement speed while aiming and Zealot's feels like they should be useful enough to keep sometimes.

Chamale posted:I was wondering why the Ricochet perk in Fallout 4 is so bad, so I looked into it. It only works on enemies that use guns and have a max HP of 100. The only enemies in the game that this can apply to are basic Raiders, Raider Scum, and basic Synths. Super Mutants and Gunners always have enough HP that Ricochet won't affect them, unless you reduce them to 40% HP. Do you know what the exact % chance of a ricochet triggering is? I think it's a very fun perk, but even against low level enemies it rarely seems to happen

My view on Fallout 4 have improved over the years, especially with the dlcs and survival mode. Building cool settlements and travelling the world to find new items to build is a lot of fun. Mechanically it's easy to do and usually it just works. But holy poo poo the first two hours of the game is absolute dogshit. The unskippable 2077 segment, having to trod through the vault, Concord being an extremely railroaded setup for the EPIC E3 trailer moment and the complete lack of choices & consequences until you find the Drumlin Diner are all loving garbage decisions that new players are faced with right at the beginning

NW shutting down is genuinely making me sad. It's the first pvp experience I've actually enjoyed since ps3 launch dark souls 2 belltower fights. I'll grind out the marble statue since it won't be available post September and the inferno mk 2 PA. After that I'll have to hope that mk 3 won't be a 1/3k drop from Scorched Earth or whatever.

ASenileAnimal posted:are energy weapons in 76 busted, terrible or both? i tried a laser rifle out and in every fight my initial hit will do normal damage and then every hit after does like 1 or 2 damage regardless of range. Energy weapons with a sniper barrel needs a moment to recharge between shots, otherwise they don't do full damage on subsequent shots. This is indicated by a tiny red light at the end of the barrel, that you cannot see if the weapon is scoped. Or you could be getting a sneak critical or fo76 could just be busted again

I know especially in 76 its not a binding choice at all, but its the moral of the thing. There's some cool brotherhood guys inside fort Atlas, but the intitial BOS guys all suck rear end in that very specific Fallout 4 BOS way. You should still do the questline, even if you don't like the brotherhood, because you can completely poo poo on them and their main mission, which I hope comes up again in Steel Reign

The two worlds he hasn't touched yet have less random elements than Kiddie Kingdom, especially with the 5 star cores he's found. Far Harbor shouldn't be too bad with all his prep work, except for the constant rads everywhere. My money is on the run ending in the final Automatron dungeon, it's the perfect mix of strong enemies spawning out of nowhere, having to use a companion to progress and laser attacks from all over the place. MATN's level 1 dlc playthroughs are also good, OWB and Point Lookout. I hope he gets back to either level 1 Pitt or Far Harbor after this YOLO run.

I assume I can run around single player style and do fallouty stuff like view the bathtub skeletons and collect shampoo bottles right? Absolutely. The game is basically Fallout 4.5, with a bunch of multiplayer content if you would like to play with others. All the main quest lines and most side quests are soloable with no problems.

Eiba posted:I've only just barely started their stuff, so if it gets better I'd love to know. If you're not actively on board with the Brotherhood, does their quest line ever become tolerable? It gets better. The beginning part with Knight Shin sucks rear end, because the first BoS knight you interact with is an amalgamation of the worst parts of the FO4 brotherhood. I think the presentation of the story about what happend to them on the way to WV is pretty interesting, the main Scribe is cool and the paladin is voiced by Artemis from Always Sunny. You also get some incredibly powerful weapons from the BoS quests. I have two characters ready for Steel Reign; one who sided with the paladin and did all the best stuff for WV. The other one did the opposite, went full facist and following orders. I'm not expecting an Alpha Protocol level of choices mattering, but it'll be fun to see what'll happen next.

Tenzarin posted:How is the new questline? I only logged into get the dailies done today, I will prob checkout the questline tomorrow. Is it long/short? Unlock any special vendors that are time sensitive? It's good. The quests feels a bit longer and meatier than Steel Dawn, but that might be because I was reading all the terminals and notes too. A lot of the choices made in Dawn carries over, but it's pretty obvious that some of them just leads to a single npc line changing. Although, a couple of them feels like they helped/hindered in some situations. I'm going to do the questline again today with my rear end in a top hat character to see if anything changes. Besides the usual skill and reputation checks, there's also a couple of other checks, mostly event-based. Rewards spoilers: A very strong power fist with a unique skin (furious, +40% power attack damage, +1 str) (which is currently bugged and breaks on fast travel), a bunch of cosmetic outfits, a black version of the bungalow for your camp, a set hellcat power armour Does anybody who played the PTS know how Minerva works? I've been running around the three major settlements looking for her, with no success.

Finished Steel Reign with my shithead character and I realised that almost all of the minor choices from Steel Dawn matters more than the major ones. Both endings I've seen seems to imply that there's more rewards post-quest, but I haven't found any yet. Don't waste 2500 caps during Supplying Demand, because it never comes up again and only changes the reward for the quest itself.

SetSliRol posted:Not sure if others agree but I think today's Daily Op (Decryption with Resiliant/Armor-Piercing Robots in the Burrows) is probably the worst combinations of modifiers, mode and location I have ever seen. Even with a full team we barely scraped by under the 12 minute mark. Decryption with camoflaged super mutants in the Burning Mine is the worst one I have seen yet. Tried it three times with 4 man teams and couldn't get below 10 minutes. There's just too many ways to gently caress up your spawns in that location.

NoneMoreNegative posted:Question: I'm sure I've done this before but damned if I remember - if I want to craft an underarmor to the top level, can I directly mod it if I have the top plan, or do I have to mod the underarmor with the previous stages first? I see the 1st level SS Underarmor 'Treated' & 2nd level 'Resistant' is in Minerva's big sale right now, and the 3rd level 'Protective' & 4th level 'Shielded' will be available next week, obviously I don't want to put the gold down for the 1st/2nd/3rd if I can skip to the 4th. You only need the mod you want, not the lower tier ones. You can get shielded Secret service underarmour directly after the final wastelanders quest.

Sensenmann posted:Adding to this, if you've never tried NW, you should. Not because it's an amazing mode that gets sunset because Beth are lazy, no, it's because you might be sitting on a ton of unopened perk packs. I tried NW a while ago and while Battle Royale is nothing for me I found myself with a lot of perk packs. Opening them got me to level 10 and I now have 178 overseer tickets. As far as I know, that's 60 perk coins for being level 10 and another 178 for the tickets. That's definitely a nice to have. Also you get some nice cosmetics for all your characters/camps by levelling up and most of the rewards are pretty front loaded from 1-16 and 16-50. Post level 50 it becomes a bit of a slog if you do not like the game mode. https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Overseer_rank

Sensenmann posted:A lot of those will, apparently, become available for purchase with Gold. Not sure if there will be back pedalling because that caused a bit of a stink in the NW community. The only NW reward I have any objections to being sold for gold bullion is the Hellfire PA from rank 100. That should either remain exclusive or have a stupid low drop rate like the responder fireman uniform. Everything else seems good; Inferno PA being a rare drop from Scorched Earth makes sense, a lot of the weird weapon/PA skins being placed in mole miner chests/xmas gifts and the stash boxes being sold for gold bullion.' BOS minigun paint would have been better as a daily op or techincal data reward, but who cares about that when you can have the hot rod shark skin?

Brute forcing a chameleon mutation at the poineer scout camp is a great way to get that nice top 10 bonus. Hack both terminals, pick "aid package" for the serums, stimpacks and radaways. Use the serums if their side effects aren't too bad (Grounded is a no go most of the time) and then sit next to the 25-50 rads/sec barrels nearby, while sucking up the radaway from the aid package to force a third mutation. The limited number of mutations in NW should give you either chameleon or speed demon almost every game.

I've been watching ManyATrueNerd's Fallout 76 videos while eating dinner and it is shocking how many issues the game had at launch, beyond all the big ones that gaming media picked up on and made fun of. Stash box limit of 400, the depth of field making the game impossible to look at for more than 15 minutes, all the straight up non-functional or broken perk cards, every single weapon causing hp rubberbanding, the enemy levelling/respawning mechanics, survival mechanic penalties, vats auto targeting other players, no server wide messages for public events... The list goes on.
