I've only been playing this for the past few weeks and I just finished the wastelanders quest over the weekend. I amassed enough treasury notes to cap out Saturday and Sunday, but now I seem to not be getting any any more, is there only a chance to get notes from public events, not a guarantee? I did 4 or 5 events last night and 3 this morning and still have 0 notes to turn in at the gold machine. The daily caps seem way too low considering I have a stash full of legendaries waiting to for the scrip machine, and a full inventory as well. If I can't even get my 200 bullion per day because I am getting unluckly, and I can't pick up any more legendaries or scrap because I don't have room for them, then I'm losing my motivation to even log in. I prefer to the events to the daily quests because the dailies are the exact same drat thing every day with more loading screen time than gameplay.

TheAgent posted:all other quests and events, like Bots on Parade, Powering Up, Enclave events, or any event that you have to pay caps to travel to, do not award treasury notes EDIT: I just server bounced until I came across one that had an event with the exclamation on it and I got notes. Hooray! Except not so great due to how few events there actually are once you exclude all those others. CapnBry fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jun 16, 2020 |

infernal machines posted:I think the city center itself was kinda bullshit. It was a bunch of tiny walled areas only accessible by the subway and navigating from any one to another was an exercise in frustration. Fallout 76 I think I've reached the end of for me. The endgame is a grind, but it is incredibly gated by the daily caps in the system. You want to run around trying to get good legendaries, but you can only turn in ~3 per day for scrip to buy 1-2 extra randoms from the purveyor. I have no problem with the exchange rate, just that you can cap out in 20-30 minutes of play. You can also collect bullion, but you're limited to 200 per day, and you can only get them from a handful of the events. The legendary scrip cap and lack of treasury notes from the other events makes me actively avoid them because I don't have space to store any more legendaries. Then there's Settler and Raider faction, which is capped at one quest per day. I don't want a game where I need to log in every day but only am being effective in the first 30 minutes. The daily caps should be changed to refill continuously, so you get 20% of the cap back per hour and it increases when you're offline too (at a slow 5%/hour rate), up to the current cap. That means there's a benefit to keep playing instead of just checking in once a day. It is more fun to have a great time, play way too much, get all the stuff you want, then get bored and stop playing instead of it being a daily chore to log in and make a little progress.

What the hell? Who thought it would be fun to make players log in every day to complete every daily challenge and make sure you get all the weekly challenges and also grind out a buncha levels because that isn't going to give you enough SCORE. 800,000 XP sounds like a lot but that's only 50x post-100 levels to earn over the 70 days you have to do it. It is definitely doable but I dunno I don't want to be forced to login to play a game every day for 10 weeks. I will say that public groups is pretty great though. I created one and had a full group in about 30 seconds and got all the team benefits despite never seeing anyone else on my team in almost two hours. I guess I need to find an Empath Serum now too since I'll always be on a team now and even without Class Freak there's 0 negative effect while on a team.

TheAgent posted:they really need to spell out how you get this stuff because just playing for two and a half hours I'm not sure if I'm getting more SCORE than I should or what I'm pretty sure their whole plan with this season is to have "challenges" to scrap X amount of materials of various types, which gives you SCORE points that reward you with chests full of scrap. In no time, your 800lb stash will be full of just scrap and you'll be eyeing that Fallout 1st strictly for the Scrapbox item that stores all the scrap with no limit aaaaaand PROFIT. As someone without Fallout 1st, I have 3 pieces of armor, about 50lbs of water and chems, and the rest of my storage space is just scrap. I can't even open the boxes of scrap I am getting because I have no place to put it. I hear the stash limit used to be even lower and I have no idea how you guys survived back then.

I scrapped about 100 aluminum to try to get the scrap 25 aluminum challenge but I only got to 24/25. I went back out in search of more and got some score points when I picked up an aluminum canister after that. Unsure if the two were related. I also crafted my first Secret Service Armor chests last night. Now I have far too much weight in inventory to fast travel, my stash is already at 804/800 aaaaaand now I am unsure what to do. I guess I am dumping a bunch of scrap out of the stash to store the armor I can't turn in for scrip until the next day. These per-day limits are bullshit!

Just went through Silo Alpha all the way to the point you activate the launch control robots and have to defend them, game crashes. Luckily was on a team so I can come back, only have to do the first biometric scan steps again then just kill all the robots again to get through the silo, no other steps needed whew. Enter my launch code, head down to the nuke site, 30 seconds left, people start showing up. Game crashes again, except this time I can't get back to my server no matter how many hops I try. gently caress you, you lovely game, gently caress you.

Is it just that 80% of players who I'm on a team with don't have 3 charisma and can't share a perk card, or that people don't even know they can do this? Half the time I'm the only person sharing, and I think I've been in one group where everyone shared a card.

Tenzarin posted:With some power armor and pretty much any weapon around lvl 30, you should be able to kill almost everything in the game. Lvl 30 for rank 1 of enforcer. Enforcer lets you kill everything in the game outside the final boss. There is a map that shows the level of the enemies in that area. The left three have limits, but the right three will spawn as high as the players in the area so it is rather abrupt going from just destroying everything I come across to getting my poop pushed in by everything I come across despite the quest content in it being appropriate for my level. Just kind of a dumb compromise for a multiplayer game where 99% of the time players never see each other. EFB.

xxEightxx posted:The risk is that mob level isn’t necessarily determined by you, so popular spots like white spring can get fubard when some high level has been there recently. Sure you can become nearly invincible and someone might even give you some OP weapon too because it is too low level for them, but playing a game on God Mode isn't much fun to me. High level enemies are trivial to high level players so why even make them higher level to exclude level-appropriate characters from contributing? I see what they were going for but it makes a lovely experience for people who only want to play the game through. There's plenty of other bad decisions but those mostly affect endgame grinds, so it is sad that they also mess with the leveling experience for no real gain for the endgamers. Especially considering the rewards are often scaled down even though the monsters were scaled up.

Yeah it does suck that they whole idea of Fallout 76 was "form a group and play with your friends!" and they completely forgot to let you do anything as a group but just let you do things in a group. You know what would have been a great Seasons Level 100 reward? Like 50 more loving scrip a day from the Legendary Jukebox. 150 is such a low amount compared to the number of legendaries I can get if I play, especially since I am still using every one of them to get a set of unyielding secret service armor. I've been stuck on piece 3, the left arm, for like 2 weeks now and having one more chance a day would be really nice. Having a stash and inventory fully stocked with legendaries waiting to get melted means I don't want to play because I don't have any space to put stuff so I just log in to melt 3-4 items, complete the daily challenges in the least engaging way I can think of, then log out. I'm not even sure why I am doing the season journey now apart from the fact I already 60% through it, especially considering how many of the reward items are for power armor skins I'll never use.

I was a little excited about double score weekend but it is only for daily challenges which means it is only like getting 4 (or 5?) bonus days total. I still have 40 levels to go before I can get that disappointment of having nothing left to see progress on.

When I started playing this I set out with my normal RPG mentality of trying to find an ideal build and min-maxing gear setups. After around level 50 I found out almost nothing matters because there's only a few enemies I can't just one-shot. I was running stealth rifleman but I was shooting everything for over 3000 damage with a one-star intigating lever gun and a mishmash of found armor. Most things in the game don't even have 1000HP so I started swapping out perks for stuff that was more fun and just being commando with gun fu and a non-legendary The Fixer. Sure, sometimes I have to double click a guy to kill him but it is fun to just run and gun instead of sneaking up on people. One nice thing about this game is that almost any combination is viable just because there are a lot of very OP combinations. I have my own question, speaking of min-maxing. When I was leveling I was trying to get the Shielded Raiders Underarmor lining (the top one). I have done every quest, the crater daily every day, every Guided Meditaion, every Uranium Fever (and almost every other event when it pops up). I still don't have the plan two months later. I have all the lower level ones, just not this one. That's ok though because I want the Shielded Casual Underarmor now, which is a drop as well. I do not have this one either despite always doing Queen of the Hunt every time it is up. Do these Shielded plans come from somewhere else now?

I think their plan might be working though, because I actually considered buying 1000 Atoms last night so I could buy some of the last 25 SCORE levels which for some reason I need to have before I uninstall the game. The major thing that stopped me was that it only buys me 7.33 levels.

Dravs posted:Fo76 is ok, but I cancelled my 1st now. I finished the battlepass thing using atoms and I am just burned out on it. They did a great job taking a good idea and making it feel like a 2nd job and killing my desire to play. I bought FO76 on sale during the free weekend and spent a good 70 hours in it so I'd say it is definitely worth the on-sale price. I can't imagine how dull it must have been before Wastelanders but it definitely is fun to Fallout around in for a while. I found the environments to be some of the best art they've ever produced, even if they were a bit underused by the story. I mean can you imagine how long it took someone to create Wavy Willards and for what, just to have you look in a couple trashcans or something to find security tapes for that quest that annoyingly sends you all the way around the map? Look at how much work it was to create the Whitesprings Resort and it doesn't even really do anything. The temple where Guided Meditation takes place is a loving gorgeous masterpiece but there's not even one quest there, is there? There's a ton of beautiful places to see, I mean A Number One Duke of Art Assets, but I'm not sure how many of them are very Fallouty and they're definitely just lost to being something in the background when they aren't at all involved in the story. I uninstalled after reaching SCORE rank 100 with 247 hours played, but the last hundred I was just punching the clock every drat day. It is like a MMORPG where the only thing that exists are the same 15 daily quests, and there's a time limit so you have to do your daily quests every day or it all resets to zero. The fact that I put in 247 hours though definitely means it is worth $20.
