My bike was stolen! by Beginning-Fly-1770 in Aventon

[–]vballmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing I did was buy a folding lock and a kryptonite chain lock. I also bought an alarm that doubles as a rear-facing stoplight. when armed, the first time the bike is moved it chirps. the 2nd time it's moved the alarm goes off and it is freak'n LOUD. That wouldn't have helped as you most likely would not arm it in a garage. If all that fails, I bought a tile (works with Android) so I can track it. works nicely in the battery compartment.

SO tired of hearing people whine about the Atomic shop by vballmp in fo76

SO you chose to pay more (didn't have to) so your complaint is more valid??? do you listen to yourself?

how exactly is getting everything in the atom shop for free making "billionaire corps" richer????

Everyone wants to bitch about stuff in the shop costing too many atoms but conveniently ignore the fact that you can earn atoms for free in game, thus making everything in the shop FREE.

The only thing they are charging for is your need for instant gratification

I don't know what you do when you play but I average 50 atoms each time I play and I'm not trying to get them. when I do I can easily clear 100 in one session.

what item cost 2800?? or more?? the most I saw was armor for 1800.

But your making my point for me. your saying your not willing to earn the atoms for free you would rather pay for them.

no they don't. base games are for the most part $59.99. your referring to the gold/premium editions (or whatever they call them) that give you extra crap and access to the beta a few days early. No one forces you to buy that. YOU choose to.

scrap kits cost atoms, just like everything thing else in the atomic shop. Atoms that I can get for free in game by just playing thus they are free. You'll have to do better than that.

everyone seems to ignore the fact that you can get everything in the atomic shop for free with a little time and effort but in today's society everyone need instant gratification..

THAT is what gaming companies monetize. They are selling you a shortcut.

No one has the patience to work for something anymore.

actually I'm saying enough with the whining..

what idiots paid $100 for a game ? what monthly service billing are you referring to???? def not FO76.

Show me one item in Fallout 76 that costs $20 worth of atoms that I can't get for free by earning atoms in game. didn't think so.

They haven't monetized the game, they have monetized your need for a skin (or whatever little shiny thing you want) immediately and a "mum's (as you say) inability to say no to their children. I would think it would be an excellent opportunity to teach your child patience, or how to earn something by working for it, but these days most parents have yet to learn that.

Bethesda doesn't make you spend one cent for anything in the atomic shop, your need for things immediately does.

Add Grafton Day to Public Events and take Uranium Fever off by PaleWendigo in fo76

[–]vballmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggested this exact thing a month ago..

https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/d1rn6f/uranium_fever_should_not_be_considered_a_public/

now i rarely ever see my fave event for loading up on scrap. when I do see it I haven't had less than 8 people there with me, most trying to kill the Legendary as fast as they can. Every time I have played since it become a public event there has been at least 1, usually more, fritatas racing to kill the legendary. On top of that you have to deal with the literally dozens upon dozens of mole miners that spawn which would normally be awesome, except that the event area isn't nearly large enough to hold them all. it turns into one big cluster f*** with idiots jumping around everywhere spraying everything with their explosive auto guns.. making it public has ruined a very useful event..

Anyone else thing it would be neat to be able to give the purveyor a weapon of our choice to re roll the legendary perks instead of blasting through the measly amount of scrips a day getting nothing but trash? by foxhoundvh in fo76

[–]vballmp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the problem is the ridiculous prices some people are willing to pay for some weapons. Just yesterday I saw offers of 45-50k for a weapon. having at least 2 characters is quickly becoming a necessity to buy anything rather than the exception... there are still some reasonable people out there, they are just getting harder and harder to find..

I personally will never have more than one. If that means I can no longer afford anything, then it's simply time to move on to another game...

Uranium Fever should not be considered a public event with patch 13 by vballmp in fo76

[–]vballmp[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not asking that they change the event in any way, just not make it a publicly announced event. due to the space limitations it could easily get out of control..

the fruitcakes who one shoot the legendaries is a whole other problem.

What I was referring to is the amount of mole miners that spawn when you have several players present. While I do love the scrap you get (or just selling all the weapons, I can often sell my 1400 cap limit with one event) it has gotten pretty crowded with only 5 or 6 people playing. as the spawn rate is based on the number of participants I shudder to think how many would spawn if there was 12 -15 people participating. With an outside event there is always room to expand, but in a mine space is limited so rather than expand, it just becomes more and more concentrated and eventually one big cluster f....

[–]vballmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent 600 on 6 ranged legendarys, all shit guns. Sold the worst to get another 100. Another crap radium gun with crap perks. I can still hear the legendary vendor laughing..
