Been waiting patiently for a few patches then picked up a couple of copies for a tenner each to play with my wife.

Have to say I'm really enjoying it, just pootling around exploring places & rummaging through junk:p

That's the essence of Fallout, IMO. I've done all the quests and explored everywhere apart from the Lucky Hole mine and I've read all the notes and listened to all the holotapes

and I'm still enjoying a bit of pootling around rummaging through junk. I'm going to try to finish all of the unbugged challenges apart from the group ones and the "kill a bazillion <x> with a million different types of weapons" ones because those are just tedious.

One little place I found that was delightfully deranged in proper raider style was a series of traps on the edge of a cliff with corpses attached to them. Trigger the traps and the corpses are hurled off the cliffs to sail away and down. The raiders had chairs and beer to watch the show. That's proper Fallout raider style.

Right now my main goal to is farm the Lode Bearing and Monster Mash events often enough to get the top prizes for them. I'm about 60% of the way on both. I might also install the perk card loadout mod to reduce the tedium of swapping half a dozen or more perk cards every time I want to craft or repair anything. The whole perk cards thing is rather silly...I forget how to fix a gun until I hold a card. eh? How does that make any sense?

Are you guys using a reshade/enb to clear the graphics up a bit?

No, I'm just playing at 2560x1440 with ultra settings. Graphics are fine by my standards.

That seems a bit odd to me - I always have too many stimpaks just from picking up ones I find lying around while pootling around and scavving. They're one of the things I sell to vendors, when I have >50 or so. I craft a few every now and then, just because I can.

I found a Furious Mole Miner Gauntlet yesterday. I'll gather some mole rat teeth to mod it with an extra blade and see how that works out. Although I do like shotguns for close range. I'm using a Ghoul Slayer combat shotgun, modded with hardened receiver and swift magazine, and it's particularly good for the Whitesprings golf club with all the shotgun perks. Normal L68 ghouls can be one-shotted at close range and almost everything is staggered by it. Shotguns with the relevant perks are the bomb for close range ballistic weapons. I even use shotguns on flying scorchbeasts - it staggers them, so they hover in place and I can pull out my handmade rifle and spew bullets at them with ease. I know that melee is currently far more powerful than ranged, but I like pootling around with a rifle and a shotgun and all the relevant perks.

There's certainly a tenner's worth of fun to be had.
 
Patch notes are up most of the fixes are just :rolleyes:

Check out a few patch highlights below, and then read on to catch the full patch notes.

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

  • Energy and Heavy Weapons Balance: We’ve implemented a number of balance changes for energy and heavy weapons to help them last longer before needing repairs and increase their damage output.
  • Challenge Tracking: A Challenge Tracker has been added to the Map to give you better visibility into your current active Challenges. You can also use it to keep an eye on progress toward the Challenges that are most important to you.
  • Player Reporting: We’ve added a player reporting system to the Social Menu that you can use to report other players for a variety of inappropriate or negative behaviors.
PATCH VERSION
Download sizes for today’s patch will be approximately 20 GB for consoles, and around 13.7 GB for PC.

  • PC: 1.1.0.5
  • PS4: 1.1.0.3
  • Xbox: 1.1.0.4
WILD APPALACHIA
  • New Questline – Wasted on Nukashine
    • Begin this questline by finding and reading one of the Party Invitation Posters that VTU students have plastered throughout Appalachia, including at Train Stations, to join in the revelry.
    • Party Invitation Posters are also available for free in the Atomic Shop until 9:00 a.m. EDT on April 9. Once claimed, you can place the poster in your C.A.M.P. and read it to begin the quest.
  • New Crafting System – Brewing and Distilling
    • A new Brewing Workbench has been added that you’ll learn to build by completing the Wasted on Nukashine questline. Use it to craft a variety of new Wines, Spirits, Beers, and Mixed Drinks that will temporarily apply positive and negative effects when consumed.
    • Several Brewing and Distilling Daily and Weekly Challenges have also been added.
  • New C.A.M.P. Object – Fermenter
    • Some drinks require fermentation time before they’re ready to be consumed. Wines and Spirits can also be aged further to gain additional, more powerful effects.
    • The Fermenter C.A.M.P. object has been added to aid in this process and can be unlocked by completing Wasted on Nukashine.
    • Brew up a new batch of drinks using the Brewing Workbench and then use the Fermenter to select those concoctions and age them twice as fast.
  • New Daily Quests – Brewing and Distilling
    • Once per day, after you’ve completed the Wasted on Nukashine questline, you can speak to Biv to continue experimentation and occasionally learn new recipes.
    • Sometimes, you’ll be asked to imbibe various types of alcohol and perform specific tasks. Other times, you’ll learn a new recipe and will need to craft the brew to Biv’s satisfaction.
  • New Seasonal Event Quest – Fasnacht Parade
    • This repeatable, limited-time event will be available for one week, from March 19 - 26.
    • Travel to the town of Helvetia to aid the local Protectrons as they prepare for the annual Fasnacht celebration and parade. Guide the bots to the end of their parade route to claim new loot, which may include new C.A.M.P. plans, and gain a chance to earn a fantastic Fasnacht mask.
    • There are many Fasnacht masks up for grabs, and some are exceedingly rare. Trade with your friends to acquire any particular mask that catches your eye.
  • Check out our recent articles on Fallout.com to learn more about Brewing and Distilling and the Fasnacht Parade Seasonal Event.
GENERAL
  • Server Maintenance: The messages displayed when servers are taken offline for maintenance have been updated:
    • The message displayed when an individual server is shut down for maintenance is now: “Please join another World. This World will be undergoing maintenance soon.”
    • The message displayed when Fallout 76 is brought offline for maintenance is now: “Game Services are shutting down for maintenance soon.”
ATOMIC SHOP
  • Change Appearance: Players can now preview Atomic Shop items while navigating the in-game Change Appearance menu.
    • After entering Change Appearance from the menu on the Map, Atomic Shop items such as hairstyles and tattoos will now populate the list of appearance changes that players can preview.
    • Select an item and then choose “View in Atomic Shop” to open the Atomic Shop and unlock that item using Atoms.
  • Workbenches: Players can now also preview Atomic Shop items, such as paints, headwear, and outfits, from the list of craftable items that appears after entering a Workbench.
    • This functions much like previewing Atomic Shop items in a Workshop, or in the Change Appearance menu as mentioned above.
    • Additionally, a toggle has been added that players can use to show or hide unowned Atomic Shop items in a Workbench’s craftable item list.
BALANCE CHANGES
  • Energy Weapons: The amount of condition damage heavy energy weapons take per shot has been greatly reduced, and they should now last 4 to 5 times longer before needing repairs.
  • Energy Weapons: The amount of condition damage semi-auto energy weapons take per shot has been reduced by half, and they should last twice as long before needing repairs.
  • Energy Weapons: Base damage for semi-auto energy weapons has been increased by 10%.
  • Heavy Weapons: High rate-of-fire automatic heavy weapons have had their fire-rates reduced across the board, and weapon damage has been increased by +10% to maintain their original damage per second.
    • Dev Note: For high rate-of-fire heavy weapons, we wanted to drastically increase their effective damage per second against armor without pushing their baseline damage per second too high. This change in fire-rate provided room for a damage increase to help punch through armor more effectively.
  • Heavy Weapons: Weapon damage for all other automatic heavy weapons has been increased by 10% to 20%.
  • Heavy Weapons: The amount of condition damage automatic ballistic heavy weapons take per shot has been reduced by 75%.
    • Dev Note: We hope that some of these adjustments for energy and heavy weapons will help your guns feel more useful, from their durability to their ammo consumption rates. We know that some in the community have also been asking for weight changes for heavy weapons. While we haven’t addressed that in today’s patch, we do plan to make improvements with a future update and we will let you know as soon as we’re ready to share more details.
  • Flux: Different types of Flux have had their weights and sell values adjusted:
    • Stable Flux: Base value increased to 100 Caps.
    • Raw Flux: Base value reduced to 10 Caps.
    • Inert Flux: Weight reduced to 0.2 pounds, base value reduced to 0 Caps, and can no longer be sold to Vendors.
C.A.M.P., CRAFTING, AND WORKSHOPS
  • Budget Adjustments: Some C.A.M.P. objects, such as Turrets and Lights, now consume far less budget, but also have a maximum amount that can be placed in a C.A.M.P. or Workshop.
    • These object recipes in the crafting menu now display how many of that item have already been built by the player in a C.A.M.P. or Workshop, including how many they have stored, as well as the maximum amount that can be placed.
    • Dev Note: Adding a max count to certain objects allows us to reduce those objects’ budget costs, while allowing us to keep an eye on their specific usage, as well as balance and performance. As a result, you’ll be able to build more stuff, and we’ll have more flexibility to refine and adjust C.A.M.P. and Workshop structure balance and performance.
  • C.A.M.P. Placement Adjustments: Occasionally, new game content may need to occupy a space in the world that was previously usable as a C.A.M.P. location. When this occurs, a new no-build zone will be placed in that spot, preventing players from building there in the future.
    • If a player’s pre-existing C.A.M.P. location would overlap a new no-build zone on joining a world, a notification will now inform them that their C.A.M.P. cannot be placed, and they will be given one free C.A.M.P. placement.
  • C.A.M.P.: Several additional environment objects, such as grasses, ferns, and swamp fungus, will now disappear when the player builds C.A.M.P. objects on top of them.
  • Radios: Classical and Appalachia Radios can now be crafted and placed in C.A.M.P.s and Workshops.
DESIGN AND GAMEPLAY
  • AFK Timer: The timer that disconnects players after a period of inactivity is now 25% longer when sitting or sleeping.
  • Carry Weight Limit: A new “Destroy” option will now appear in place of the “Drop” option when a player who has exceeded the absolute maximum weight limit of 1,500 pounds plus the character’s current carry weight views items in their inventory.
    • Selecting this option will destroy the selected item. This can be repeated with additional items until the player’s total weight meets or falls below the absolute limit.
    • While above the absolute weight limit, items can no longer be dropped, traded, or consumed. They can only be kept or destroyed.
    • Dev Note: As part of our ongoing quest to improve the game’s overall economy, performance, and address items created as a result of exploit abuse, we’ve decided to implement a “Destroy” option for players who have surpassed the absolute weight limit. This should also help reduce cases of excessive item hoarding, as well as prevent duped items from being dropped and making their way into unsuspecting players’ hands.
USER INTERFACE
  • Challenge Tracking: A tracker has been added to the Map to help players take note of their current active Challenges at a glance, and enable them to monitor progress on the Challenges they choose to track.
    • Players can now access the Challenges menu directly from the Map and selecting a Challenge from the list will add it to the tracker.
    • Open the Map at any time to view any tracked Challenges, as well as progress toward Challenge completion.
    • Notifications will now display whenever progress is made toward a tracked Challenge.
  • Player Reporting System: A new “Report Player” option has been added, and will appear below the “Block” option upon clicking a player’s name in the Social Menu.
    • Clicking “Report Player” will open a reporting menu that features several reporting options, including: Cheating/Exploiting, Harassment, Offensive Name, and Real-World Threat.
    • Some reportable behaviors may fall under one of these categories. For example, offensive language can be reported using the Harassment category, and scamming or using bots can be reported as Cheating/Exploiting.
    • Selecting one of the above reporting options will send a report to the Bethesda Customer Service team for further investigation.
  • Main Menu: The background video that plays while viewing the Main Menu has been updated with a new Wild Appalachia themed video.
  • Main Menu: The Atomic Shop option on the Main Menu will now appear greyed-out with a loading spinner until the Shop is fully loaded.
  • Chat Volume Setting: A new Chat slider has been added to the Audio Settings menu and can be adjusted to increase or decrease the volume of incoming voice chat.
  • World Radios Setting: A new World Radios slider has been added to the Audio Settings menu and can be adjusted to increase or decrease the volume of all in-world radios. The existing Radio Volume slider has been renamed Pip-Boy Radio, and both settings can be adjusted independently of one another.

can someone explain how to start the new brewing quest... ? been running around like a headless chicken hoping for it to start

From the patch notes:

  • Begin this questline by finding and reading one of the Party Invitation Posters that VTU students have plastered throughout Appalachia, including at Train Stations, to join in the revelry.
  • Party Invitation Posters are also available for free in the Atomic Shop until 9:00 a.m. EDT on April 9. Once claimed, you can place the poster in your C.A.M.P. and read it to begin the quest.

I like this game a lot but new patch is a massive pile of shovelware junk :(

No noticeable fixes ingame
Challenges still broken...all of them!
They removed without warning the Weekly Challenges which only started yesterday which robs you of 150 Atoms
Most of the new challenges revolve around wearing that stupid beer hat which means you lose any head protection & cannot wear Power Armour either. Also as a side effect all the drinks consumed temporarily nerf a few points from Perks
Power Armour now offers even less resistance to damage from weak creatures. Just got killed by a level 14 radscorpion on my level 198 mega character!
Frequent server disconnects have returned yet again
New challenges do not work properly some do not count Caps gathered at all

All the new content is built around the brewing system for drinks & getting wasted ingame. So juvenile & irresponsible :rolleyes: No logic to it either its post nuke so Bethesda argue you cannot have xyz yet you can have a stupid brewing based challenge & new missions around that :rolleyes:

Clearly there is a very small team of inexperienced & immature people working on this game. After this patch it could not possibly be any more underwhelming afaic :( I do not hold out much hope that future content is going to be much different if this is all they can offer after almost 5 months!

I hope none of the 76 team are allowed to ruin Fallout 5 & Starfield :rolleyes:
 
Well, that patch was underwhelming.

After downloading 13GB of...something...we get three very small new locations (student houses and a tiny pub) and one small quest and some booze. It's a bit of a nod to Animal House, which is a nice touch in a way, but it's 95% simple fetch quests that would have taken me ~20 minutes with reading everything if it wasn't for the fact that FO76 crashed when I entered the Nuka-cola plant that I had to go to because I didn't happen to have one of the fetch items already on me.

Also, I repeatedly fell through the world and couldn't move. I should have realised straight away that the only fix was to manually edit my ini files again because of course that's how games work in 2019. It's...nostalgia, yes, that's what it is! Back to the early DOS days of editing autoexec and config files to free up enough memory to run a game.

The budget cost of turrets has been reduced by 80% though, which is a boon for camp building. That I can use.

I wondered why I was taking unusual amounts of damage. No mention of that in the patch notes. Probably another mistake. Maybe they'll release a hotfix in a few days.
 
So just the 14gb patch downloaded for me, instead of the initial 53gb it said.
Game won't start now.

Choose the scan and repair option - Now wants to download 49.6gb of repair files.

*sigh*

Would not hold your breath the devs think the game is almost perfect now :rolleyes: if you politely moan like I do on the official forums they sometimes just remove your post altogether :(

The game is clearly running on life support & minimal team sizes until they figure out how to dump altogether or make into an offline experience which does not require constant server maintenance.
 
Someone just datamined all the new Atomic Shop content in this patch. No idea on release dates & costs some of the Power Armour skins look cool (Ultracite especially!) but all of this should be free as part of the base game not paid for content (you can earn Atoms ingame for free but buying some of this stuff is going to cost you real money unless you play a LOT!).
https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/b0ng59/datamined_new_atomic_shop_items_1303_patch_1108/

New Vendor bot found as well sells Lemonade but as always Random spawn locations.

Stash box has been added to Whitesprings Bunker.
 
Gaaah. Downloaded all 53gb again last night...
Tried starting it today, fancied checking out the new 'vault'. Black screen... Back to desktop...
Check and repair. Oh you need to download 17gb of files... again... Bumholes!
 
My client wanted to download 53gb too... my drive is almost full so I deleted it & am re-downloading the whole game.. fingers crossed it actually works:P Whereas my wife's client just wanted 14gb or something <sigh>

Well, there's a change. Skins I actually want. The black excavator power armour and the handmade gun.

By the way, I've read that there is a 9th vendor faction in the game and always has been. A wandering NPC like Grahm or a random encounter. A vendorbot labelled as a Responder bot but with its own inventory and caps, not linked to the other Responder vendorbots. I once encountered an eyebot labelled as a Responder bot a little way past Charleston railway station, by the red bridge slightly further along the line. That's where a post I read said this bot could sometimes be found. I tried to interact with it, but it would only interact with someone wearing a Responder outfit and I didn't have one so I don't know if it was a vendor or not.

Nice find if you can use him! Still not found the new Lemonade Vendor Bot as its a random spawn could be anywhere you have to wander around until you find him. Turn any BOS Technical Documents (1 at a time only otherwise you lose the extra Docs with no reward) in they have added 2 new BOS Knight Paint Jobs as well as a few more decent Weapon Plans. I have none to turn in & cannot find any Docs since Patch7 :(

Someone also found a new Vault door placeholder! There is so much stuff added in Patch 7 which Bethesda have not even mentioned :rolleyes:

Even though I really liked this game I find myself playing less & less after Patch 7 its really the wrong direction all these Daily drinking based Challenges are so tedious & juvenile & the ingredients spoil unless you do it real fast I just cannot find the enthusiasm to do that anymore. So much ingame is still broken or just neglected like no way to rename Power Armour.

Bethesda are clearly moving ahead with a tiny resource working on this game mainly on Atomic Shop cosmetic sellable items instead of fixing the big outstanding issues. I just cannot see much ever changing. It will trickle along as it is for the rest of this year most likely then either get retired as a legacy product or converted to Solo offline if Bethesda think they can monetize that in any way via Steam :rolleyes:
 
Hotfix coming up now.

Hi all,

Fallout 76 will be temporarily offline for all platforms today, starting at 11:00 a.m. EDT, while we perform a hotfix to address an issue with the Fermenter, an issue with nuke silo codes, and make some stability improvements. During this time you will be unable to log in to Fallout 76. We’ll keep you updated in this forum thread with any news and will let you know as soon as you’re able to access the game.

Please also note: There will be no patch notes following today's hotfix.

Thank you for your patience!
