**** Official Fallout 76 Thread ****

- Start date
Ah I'm glad they bought it forward, I had Monday off and annoyingly the update process has taken them 3-4 hours. So much happier they're doing that today.
I've not found it any more buggy than any other Fallout game, to be honest.
There's quite a few people posting on this thread who are playing it. And for less than a tenner you can hardly go wrong if you don't get much enjoyment out of it!

Im really enjoying it but the freezes are beginning to sap all that away. 
Sometimes I can play for hours with no issue but last night I could barely do anything.

Do you world hop when you run into issues?
Sometimes i feel that it's a current world that causes the problems than an overall issue with the game, probably caused by some duper with a 3 tonne inventory. I generally find if i start to notice issues like that, after hopping to a new world, it goes back to normal.
Just seen Bethesda are starting to ban accounts that are linked to cheating. This one in particular has come from rare paint jobs where they're locked away in rooms that are not generally accessible from the world. There's a handful of glitches you can use to break through these doors.
This is not my account BTW!!
True. May still wait though as I'm away for 3 weeks in a couple of days.
Not happy & CBA to post the patch notes (they did a lot of nerfing including Power Armour weights I have 15 of these legit through 100s of hours of gameplay time & no exploits so now going to have spend a lot of time consolidating my inventory due to all the exploiters out there 
) but most of the fixes are remove exploits & minor quest fixes so much is still broken & not addressed at this time
@ Angilion will be happy though Pip Boy lights have been boosted according to the patch notes! (you can also buy PA Brightlight Helmet mods ingame which are like the sun

Nice players around this evening accidently got a 20 bounty for taking some pre-war cash (for one of todays challenges) as someone claimed Red Rocket Truck stop. Then got snipped by a level 173 player who I allowed to do this to lose the Wanted sign they then stole all my Junk & server hopped before I could make a note of their name! (I had loads waiting to sell when Vendors get the Caps again!)

What's changed that's affecting the PA?
Weight!
but I see they have corrected the patch notes its for Armour NOT Power Armour so panic over Also they altered the PA Helmet light value now its way too over bright especially the modded helmet lights or plans bought helmet lights! Way to go Bethesda do they even test this out I wonder or just knee jerk react then hope for the best!At least they removed the constant bots spawning in whitesprings which no-one asked to be removed

Yeah I was thinking I didn't recall seeing anything about PA weight changes in the patch notes earlier.
I did notice my excavator light was much brighter than normal. But I already had the bright light on my x-01, so God knows how bright that will be.

Hope they release a patch soon to bring the weapon plans to any level character st the trade spots.
They won't ever do that the entire game is built around you playing for months & months & hopefully one day will see something cosmetic in the Atom shop to buy using real money
as soon as they reduce the need to grind everything the game would die overnight there are already way too many players still active who used the duplication glitch to get extreme amounts of everything!Loading times are way faster though now but it has a double loading screen bug as well they cannot possibly do much if any QA on this. PC early patch release is the QA test for the consoles next week
[..] @ Angilion will be happy though Pip Boy lights have been boosted according to the patch notes! (you can also buy PA Brightlight Helmet mods ingame which are like the sun
I found a mod to fix the problem weeks ago. If I hadn't then I would have stopped playing. Power armour lights were that badly broken. Which is why Bethesda finally got around to fixing the problem. It would have been nice for them to offer a choice so that players who actually like walking around with most of the screen black and seeing only a small, short, dimly lit cone of the world could continue to do so.

The person you were replying to said nothing about anything to do with grinding and nothing to do with anything cosmetic:
The issue they were referring to is that vendors who sell weapon plans will only ever do so to players in specific level ranges. That has nothing to do with grinding. I could grind for a billion years and never get the plans to build a home made gun because they're only sold to players under L45. This is not a cosmetic thing. It would make no difference if a paint job for the home made gun was put in the atom store. It's a practical thing (within the context of the gameworld). I will never be able to make a home made gun. I could server hop a billion times to change the Free State vendorbot's inventory. I could spend a billion pounds on atom points and buy a hundred million skins for things. It wouldn't make any difference at all because the problem is that there are level limits on plans sold. Not just lower level limits but also upper level limits. So a player above L45 can never, ever buy the plan for a home made rifle from the single vendorbot that sells it.
This is a pointlessly annoying game mechanic made far more annoying by the fact that Bethesda didn't even bother informing players of it. There is no way of telling that this downright bizarre restriction is in place. None whatsoever. It particularly punishes players who explore because they're the people who are most like to exceed the maximum plan buying level before reaching the relevant vendorbot. It also very strongly encourages server hopping because if you do reach a vendor that sells a plan you want and you're in the level range you must server hop right away as a top priority until you get that plan or else you will never get it.
I've no doubt that there are unstated and unknown level limits on other plans too.
Deliberately making utterly pointless restrictions on basic things and deliberately not telling players about them is not a good thing to be doing, but FO76 proves that Bethesda is (for some unknown reason) currently committed to being rude and annoying to its customers.
