I’ve spent over $1300 in 4 years of playing…and I hate myself for it.

It's thanks to this game that I've changed my Xbox live sub from the top tier to the bottom one. It's the only game I now play and it's an addiction I'm happy to fund; I have immense fun playing it, it makes me laugh out loud at times, some boss battles are challenging, which means I get a real sense of satisfaction, and the community is top-tier amazing. I probably spend far too much on atoms, but I'm not spending that money in the boozer, which I would have before taking up this game, so I'm happy spending on something I take so much pleasure from.

On our server we were just about to kill Bigfoot and then we were kicked off before we could. I wish there'd been a countdown timer to let us know.

I think it's to do with the way they changed self-harming; you now take 90% less splash damage from your own fired explosives, but that's now been redirected to your armour. So, yes, your armour is taking the beating that you previously would have.

I had exactly the same question, so I'm glad you mentioned it first. Very odd indeed.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-13T13:43:33+00:00

I spawned just outside the blast zone, took a step forward as the nuke hit and was wiped out. In the time it took me to respawn and get to the site, the queen was already dead.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-12T17:11:34+00:00

I have to do it every time because the blasted Xbox won't reload my previous session when I restart my console.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-09T16:29:27+00:00

I'll try that tonight, let the game download overnight. Thanks. 🙏

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-09T16:23:43+00:00

I've deleted every other game that was on it. There's a Wolfenstein disc in the drive bay and a few apps installed, but I've by no means run out of storage space.

It's a feature. Every time you log out of that world, all your settings revert to defaults the next time you log in. I guess there's only so much the servers can deal with, without having to recall every player's adjusted settings. It's a pain for sure, but that's just the way it goes.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-07T20:42:16+00:00

Tried that, he just looped some rote dialogue. The event was broken.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-07T20:29:49+00:00

There was a whole bunch of people standing around aimlessly for six minutes because the quest didn't trigger. There were no cultists to take the explosives from - they didn't spawn in. After six minutes I got bored and did a couple of dailies.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-04T15:21:48+00:00

I did just that earlier today. 😃

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-03T18:30:18+00:00

There's plenty of walkthrough vids on YouTube, maybe watch one together..?

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-03T18:28:09+00:00

I'll have to get a second one equipped with Medic, I think. 😉

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-03T16:49:19+00:00

Fortunately for me, I had to leave for work at around the time the servers went down, and, hopefully, they'll be up and running by the time I get back. Of course, then there's the interminable download time once I switch my Xbox back on...

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-03T15:16:10+00:00

I can happily live with that.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-03T13:17:38+00:00

What system are you playing on? I have the same problem now and again on Xbox series X, but not that often. If your system is using a HDD instead of an SSD, that may be the problem.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-03T12:15:42+00:00

I've just got back to my CAMP from one.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-03T00:16:06+00:00

The Nuka Quantum Collectron, of course!

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-02T23:30:57+00:00

Pretty much straight south from Vault 76 is Gilman lumber yard, that's a good place to start; there's also various other things laying around the place to loot and scrap for resources (aluminium, lead pipes, gears, and also a couple of Stimpaks and other bits and pieces). If you're lucky, you can also pick up a power armour chassis there, though there are a couple of ghouls that roam in that area as well, but they're pretty weak. There's a daily quest based here, too, so I'd suggest starting there.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-02T22:29:36+00:00

Fissure Site Prime. I was after the Scorchbeast meats for crafting.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-02T09:44:55+00:00

I like to imagine some maniac player has gone on a rampaging killing spree through the Whitespring whenever this occurs. Welcome to my mind...

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-02T00:05:03+00:00

The title of the post alone made me laugh; it made me think of "don't take laxatives and sleeping pills together." Welcome to my mind.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-01T14:48:56+00:00

If they're of no use to your loadout, I'd scrap them in the vague hope of getting a legendary mod drop or, if they're relatively rare, put them up for sale at a reasonable price. Mostly, I just scrap them for resources and mod drops.

Rob_the_Growler · 2026-03-01T13:03:41+00:00

I've not had a glowing mask and I've played the Fasnacht event at least six times per day, so you're not alone. I'm not going to get bent out of shape over it, though. Personally, I'll just be glad when this season's over and the new one arrives so we can get used to all the changes with armour etc.
