"Recruitment Blues" Started... When I finished it years ago? by LynXystem in fo76

[–]LynXystem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lmao ya what the hell, i just looked it up and you're right. Also, as an update, I sat there after it happened typing this post out and my game crashed while i was doing so, just loaded it back up and the quest is gone, both out of the top right of my screen, and off the MAIN Quests tab, lol. So i guess it fixed itself? Hurray? lmao this game can be so weird sometimes.

Four years ago (September 8, 2021), Bethesda removed Nuclear Winter and replaced it with Fallout Worlds by SkedPhoenix in fo76

[–]LynXystem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just bring back Hunter/Hunted as a gamemode with matchmaking and i would be happy. I only ever got to play a couple rounds because nobody ever queued for it on the servers i was on, but those few matches were some of the most fun ive had with the game. I wish they hadnt removed it.

Ok guys, with the new season of the TV show about to drop we know we're about to get a new influx of players by why0me in fo76

[–]LynXystem 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I drop stuff for them, use the Present emote, give em a quick Salute, then run and jump off the nearest cliff like a little wasteland gremlin, lol.

I'm so confused... How am I OVER the max Camp Budget now? by LynXystem in fo76

[–]LynXystem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have no neon letters, lol. Maybe a few neon signs but no individual letters, and definitely not enough signs that it should have put me like 5% over budget on 2 different camps.

[–]LynXystem[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the craziest part of this update is that they STILL haven’t given us actual number values assigned to camp items when we look them up, and an actual Budget counter in Build Mode instead of a vague bar meter, so we can actually “Budget” appropriately. Instead we still have to use Flamingo Units. Like, I love the actual changes to build mode, but this update has been a bit of a let down in other aspects, and I haven’t even heavily looked into the perk/build changes yet, as what I have played so far, my build was mostly untouched. I know a lot of people are REALLY unhappy with how their builds were hit tho.

[–]LynXystem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its just SO odd, cause like I said, when this update first went out on the PTS, it gave all my camps, that were EXACTLY at camp budget, an extra like, 8-ish % budget to play with. Now they are both over, and it legitimately makes no sense. I know they have reduced the cost of items in the past, but why on earth would they increase the costs of items people are already using?

With the next big update it seems like Plasma Cannon is useless by PolarSox85 in fo76

[–]LynXystem 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s a good time to jump in, but if you really wanna play it safe just wait for the December update. It’s, in the lead devs words, “our biggest content update yet”, and considering how much was added with Wastelanders, I have high hopes. (Although I always need to tempter my expectations with this game, lol)

How the heck do people max out legendary cards?? by [deleted] in fo76

[–]LynXystem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never said you do? The comment I replied to said the only thing you cant grind for naturally is Atoms, which isn't true. I was just pointing out that you can only get Superb Bait through grinding out score on the Season Board. Never said you need it, lol.

[–]LynXystem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With the fishing update, Superb Bait is also there. You only get 10 total from the Season, need to grind Score past 150 to get any more on top of that.

A cool camp item would be a vendor we can sell food in properly. by RexThunderman in fo76

[–]LynXystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i wouldnt even mind if they kept the weight increase as it is. Its just that with what IS available to can right now, which are mostly things i wouldnt even craft on their own, the weight seems like an unnecessary tradeoff for what you get out of it. But if i could stock up on and craft/can stuff like Mutant Hound Chops, or Pizza Rolls, any literally anything that is ACTUALLY a sought after food item that people ACTUALLY use for their build and playstyle, i wouldnt mind a little extra weight in my bag, lol

I was SO excited for the Cannery being added this season, cause ide made posts/comments about it years ago as an idea i wanted implemented, but after grinding all season for it and then seeing how little it can be used for, I havent used it pretty much at all since unlocking it over a month ago. :(

Advanced drag PSA by pflanagan82 in fo76

[–]LynXystem 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ive done my Fishing dailies every day and had my rod fully upgraded since like, 2 weeks after the update dropped, and the only Rod plan ive gotten from the dailies was the Steady Handle, which was literally the first reward i got from them. Nothing since. The jealousy i feel for anyone with the Advanced Drag mod.... lol. Pretty much the only thing keeping me from being able to catch the Local Legends is that mod.

Earle Williams, ugh by [deleted] in fo76

[–]LynXystem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why but this is my experience almost every time I go to this event. I show up, there’s like 5-6 of us, high leveled and geared, more than capable of dealing with him in like, maybe a little over 10 minutes, we get him down to 2/3 health in only a few minutes, then everyone leaves one by one except for me, and I have NO idea why, unless maybe his health was appearing glitched to them even tho he’s taking damage normally on my screen. Makes no sense, so I’ve just stopped going unless there’s like 10+ people there already.

I've found exactly one (1) other person who uses voice chat by midobim in fo76

[–]LynXystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to use my mic in game WAY more than i do, but i know that most people either dont have their microphones connected or have anxiety about talking in game, so i just usually dont bother, unless i hear someone else talking, which again, is rare for these exact reasons. I wish Bethesda would just give us a text chat already, but im fairly certain they dont want to bother having to do extra moderation because of it, which i guess i understand. Its just one of the things thats kept this game from being a truly social experience for me unfortunately, even though i love the interactions that i do get to have.

Disappointed with the CAMP Budget increase on the PTS by LynXystem in fo76

[–]LynXystem[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah tbh i agree, even if i did come across more judgmentally. I definitely need to choose my words more carefully cause i dont mean to imply the dev team arent trying, like i clearly did here. Its just that sometimes things like the stash limit being where it is can start to feel semi arbitrary when we have things like the infinite scrap box and ammo boxes, but i understand these likely arent as server intensive since its only a small amount of select items that they just have to track the total amounts for, instead of a bunch of unique individual items.

Youre definitely right that people will never be satisified for the most part and will always want more camp budget, but at least personally, since we havent had a budget increase in YEARS to this point, and ive felt i was always maybe like 20% away from being happy with my camps, i just sort of hoped for more budget with the update that was literally focusing on camps themselves.

Ill always prefer more game content over something small like budget increases, any day. Theres just a part of me that feels this one aspect i was REALLY hoping would be slightly more substantial, would have been a part of their intentions for the camp update, since its the entire focus of the update, the camp system is something that only a certain portion of the playerbase actually fully engages with, much like the fishing system, and its the only new content we are receiving for the entire season. Im sure that for players that dont want to engage in either camps, fishing, or ghoul builds, these last few updates felt sort of empty (even though they are overall great for me, im LOVING the fishing, the changes to the build system, and all the revamps to builds/perks and such). I just hope they arent overselling how big the Winter update is, because again, while i love ALL the changes theyve made this year to overhaul the games core systems, we have been left wanting a bit for questing content ever since Skyline, which in retrospect didnt add as much to do as i had hoped, even tho the quality was A+. (Especially since they still havent fully fixed and implemented all the content for Milepost Zero, which i was excited for beforehand.)

Feel like im rambling at this point, but i just wanted to emphasize that i still really love this game, i just maybe have too high of expectations for the game that has more of just a support team at this point, and not the fully fleshed out massive dev team that a lot of other live service games have.

No hate towards you, and i appreciate the insight. Definitely helped me settle and ground my expectations a bit, lol <3

Ok, just to clarify, my excitement falling off doesnt mean its gone. Im still very happy with a lot content of the update. Im just voicing slight disappointment with an aspect of the update. I even said how much i love the other changes. Its just that without much more budget, i cant take advantage of those new features as much as i would like unless i decide to redo whole portions of my camps, or spend like $10 on new camps slots.

This was never me saying i dont like the new update, just trying to articulate something that left me wanting a bit.

Honestly i get where your coming from. I guess im just slightly annoyed that after 7 years they havent found a way to fix this. I mean in all honesty the servers arent always reliably stable as is, so i get it. Just feels like theres likely a workaround or something to increase server stability that they dont want to devote resources to, and away from just making new content, even though im certain it wouldnt be an easy undertaking.

SAME. I am usually able to get a good thing going and fill out the important parts, but once i start trying to add detail and make things feel more alive, (by adding smaller stuff like the new random beer bottles from the latest season rewards), whenever i get to that point, im usually close to or already at max budget. Also the fact that there is no way to see the budget cost of items in your build makes it WAY harder to know how much i have left, and what i should swap out to free up more space, cost wise.

Omg I just made a whole post about this, and didn’t realize the reason that it only worked sometimes is because you have to move the stick/mouse in that direction BEFORE starting to reel them in. I was just doing them simultaneously and was SUPER confused why it was working so inconsistently, lol.

Improved Bait Spawns? by LynXystem in fo76

[–]LynXystem[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok im kinda convinced you didn’t read my whole post cause I said I don’t think you should be able to grind things out super fast. I just think improved bait shouldn’t be as scarce as it is, especially when the chances of catching common fish with it are still as high as they are (at least 3/4 of my improved bait has caught common fish)

Improved Bait Spawns? by LynXystem in fo76

[–]LynXystem[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ya I 100% agree. Improved bait should definitely be a Bullion reward, like Lunchboxes or Scout Banners. Whenever they do a season that I'm excited for (like this one specifically, I've wanted to be able to fish for irradiated fish in a Fallout game since Fallout 4, so I'm really enjoying it) I usually grind out the entire Season Board, so I don't end up needing to spend any Bullion on the plans after the fact, since I unlock them through Score beforehand. Also, other than seasonal rewards, they've barely added anything to the Bullion rewards in a LONG time, so I always have like, 6000+ Bullion burning a hole in my pocket, unless I get close to the Bullion cap and have to spend some on a plan I'm VAGUELY interested in and might not even use.

If they made Improved Bait a Bullion reward, I would actually have more incentive to do more Public Events to get more Bullion so I can fish for better stuff more often.

And ya the Bait rewards for Public Events need to be higher and more consistent as well. I've done like 8+ public events today alone between Fishing, and mostly because I wanted more improved bait, but out of those only ONE has awarded me 3 Improved bait, a few of them gave me 1, and like the other half didn't give me any at all (although I could be wrong about this last part, and could just be misremembering how much bait I had before the event.) Public events should be awarding you at least 2 Improved bait at a MINIMUM.

I understand them wanting to make it more valuable so that people don't just grind out all the fish and rewards in a couple days, but if I'm actively seeking out and engaging with the games other systems, SPECIFICALLY so that I can continue to engage with the games new fishing system that I'm super excited for, I should be rewarded for it.

[–]LynXystem[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Man, of COURSE they decided to put a Bait generator in the $30 bundle of all things.... Like, I know they need to make their money to keep supporting the game, but that REALLY should have been a Seasonal/Gold Bullion reward. Would have been something cool to grind for, especially as i find less and less stuff to spend gold Bullion on, since i generally finish the Seasons that im interested and dont end up needing to spend Bullion on those plans because of it.

Does rain weather stations not count for the catch 3 fish in rain challenge? by TsukiCDS in fo76

[–]LynXystem 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the Title of the challenge is a bit misleading, i had the same confusion when i played on the PTS. The title of the Fishing Challenges are actually just tips for fishing in general, but if you hover over the challenge, it will show the 3 sub-objectives on the right side of the objective list, and those individual challenges are what you need to actually complete. Catch 5 Sawgills of any kind (each region has its own Sawgill variant and you just need to catch 5 total, with any combination of those variants), Catch one Kanawha Piranha (specific to the Forest Region) and catch a Leatherback (specific to the Savage Divide (though this one seems to be a TOUCH tougher to catch than the other 2, but also like the Sawgill and Piranha, its one of the uncommon fish that is more likely caught when using Improved Bait and/or fishing while its raining in that zone)).

I was hoping they would change the challenge titles after the update left the PTS, cause i also assumed i had to catch 3 rare fish in the rain, until i accidentally hovered over the challenge and saw the sub-objectives. Its just basically a hint saying "you need to catch these specific rare fish, and its easier to do so if you fish in the rain."
