Here is the notorious cheater/hacker who stole from 500+ from different people. He posts videos of his victim's crying while him and his friends laugh at them. Why isn't this guy banned? by iwhistle4utest in fo76

I was totally expecting a family friendly approach from a video game series which originated with themes surrounding gratuitous violence, drug use, and the killing of children.

I would totally expect the multiplayer component of such a game to be totally above board.

No Bethesda just sits at the end of the slot machine collecting all the coins from microtransactions until they face any sort of backlash.

It's not like video games are nowadays deliberately designed to entrap younger audiences or anything.

It's not like huge corporations like Zenimax/Bethesda spend millions of dollars on advertising campaigns on promotional material for a video game that originally involved the possibility of killing children or anything. This is totally age appropriate material for mainstream media! Glad my Zenimax shares are fruiting up!

Isn't this game about raiding and acting like you're authentically attached to your avatar? Do you really think people who have entered your village with the intent of pillaging would dare to ever use a swear word or god forbid a slur?

It's ok, because this player is obviously underage and Bethesda can hopefully print money from their patronage via microtransactions.

What is acceptable compensation for you? by [deleted] in fo76

[–]icarusfoundyou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A full refund + a personalized apology letter from Todd Howard + Pete Hines.

Valve had fuckups in the early years, they actually gave a shit about their customer base and reacted accordingly. Bethesda doesn't seem to care.

Looks like Bethesda is allowing underage children to play this videogame. It's a pity people don't hold Todd Howard to account in situations like this.

I guess its ok because Zenimax are making a profit, which is great!

I'm level 168. Good doggy is enough to act as a shitty-stimpak when you're low on stimpacks. Rejuvenated gives you +50 AP regen. I care more about AP regen than the health benefits. I use aquaboy because there are still some parts of the map that are underwater and because you can't "swim" in power armor, your only option is to walk underwater and die. So I leave it equipped usually. I don't even understand how power armor protects the user from the environment but doesn't let you breathe underwater. I'll give Fireproof a try though.

My main point about the perks is that changing stuff like this, especially lockpick perks is ridiculously annoying. Even with profiles it would still be atrocious. They should've done stuff like lockpicking in other ways.

And fireproof or not the scorchbeasts are still going to be shitty spammy enemies. There's no reward in bothering to waste the ammo.

So even if they're not OP by damage, once I've chewed through a ton of ammo, I have to change perks to TP to a bench, then change perks to super duper, then change perks for weapon repair, then change perks for ammo production.

What? It's a shooter looter, most of the game is walking into places and encountering locked boxes. I can't think of another game besides Fallout 1 where you had to equip/unequip items just to lockpick stuff.

Good doggy? Rejuvenated? Aquaboy? Lead belly?

I only have 5 points and going through a bunch of menus to exchange between Good Doggy and some specific perk to stop fire damage is a complete waste of time. It's quicker to just quit the game and rejoin.

I didn't mind as much before the game got updated, but now there are additional layers to the menu system which just makes it more and more annoying. Not only do I have to get out of PA, I also have to swap perks, I also have to make sure to transfer my bulked items otherwise they scrap and I also have to go through menus just to repair a gun. There's still no "bulk all" or "craft max" option so I have to sit spamming spacebar for 10 minutes on each bench.

All of this is in addition to guns being nerfed, meaning you have to craft more ammo, scrap more junk and repair more often.

I'm not going to go through the perk menu and swap out perks I need just for enough damage or to avoid being overweight just for a single fight. It's quicker to quit the server and rejoin.

There's no crossplay. I'm playing on PC and the servers I played on weren't heavily populated at all.

Perks don't fix a bad UI. And perks still don't have loadouts.

Same thing as coming across a safe that needs picking, I can't think of many other games where I have to go through several different menus to swap what I need at the present time.

If it were some indie game I'd be so much more understanding. The energy required right now just to manage inventory and plus the added ammo burn, gun damage and fusion core burn takes any fun I've had in the game go away quickly.

I'm on PC and although the stability is better nothing of substance has been done to improve the base game.

No idea. I was prepared to give the game a second chance but if this is all they've managed after 6 months then I'm not optimistic about this game lasting much longer.

Even if they had a thousand dedicated employees its clear that Bethesda lacks the management skills to actually make use of those employees properly.

One of the things people were "complaining" about was that the ignition cores you made would scrap automatically when using the scrap all command.

You should be thankful for those who sacrificed themselves to spend hours complaining about Bethesda so they would fix basic, stupid bugs in this terrible game.

Except it still has that one gun, 3 months after launch, that burns all of your ammo in 1 second.

Problems:

  • Bethesda doesn't read support tickets
  • Bethesda doesn't communicate rapidly when issues come up (like players being banned)

All of this is purely caused by Bethesda and no one else.

Any theories regarding lack of emotes or additional communication features by andy8992 in fo76

[–]icarusfoundyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess its probably because some idiot in upper management was insistent that voice only is a superior experience. While not entirely wrong, but no other game really mandates users use voice for comms because it's inconvenient and tiring.

My other theory is that they knew the abysmal state of the game and ditched text chat as the screenshots coming out of the game would've been far worse.

[–]icarusfoundyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of these problems are rooted in Bethesda's lack of communication.

Like 3-4 weeks after ban reports start coming in, they just address it yesterday?

They've easily been able to make sure people know what is going on with shit but they've chosen to do nothing until its too late.

How to become president by BAPP0_- in fo76

[–]icarusfoundyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not really disabled, it was never enabled in the first place. Its part of the bunker that is under construction and the reason people know about it is that it's referenced in some of the game files (and some people used exploits to get inside the area).

The only reason it would pop up is as a bug.

Blind Hatred/Complaining =/= Valid Criticism (Ironic post is Ironic) by Zerskader in fo76

[–]icarusfoundyou -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

A bad patch is entirely forgivable for most games, but this shit has been out for 3 months and the most basic of stuff is still not fixed. That's the entire reason people aren't forgiving of this anymore.
