Fallout 76 - online Fallout spinoff from Bethesda - now on Steam with Wastelanders NPC expansion

[Talby]

There's more dignity in being a gay prostitute who gives rimjobs for coke money than in being paid to play Fallout 76.

I check on this game every now and then, and every time it becomes somehow even shittier. Banning people for crafting because a bug allows them to duplicate shit and you can't tell apart what's legit crafting and what's not? Holy shit, that takes some balls.

Fallout 76 truly is my GOTY. Not for its actual gameplay, but for all the entertainment that Bethesda's train crash has brought us.

Not sure anyone else has come close lately.

Gotta give them that... most entertaining clusterfuck of 2018. I'm very curious about what happened behind the scenes. Maybe Jason Schreier can clear some of this stuff up with his press sneak fuckery.

I just wish they'd finally learn something from their fuckups but that won't be the case. Much like journos, these people will end up out of a job without ever comprehending why it happened.

Surely a decent portion of those involved recognize the abomination they're shitting out, but are only following the instructions that are coming down from the corporate masters.

Fallout 76 player glitches inside sealed Vault 63, begs Bethesda not to ban them
The game warped them inside at the start of an event.

Bethesda banned players who snuck into Fallout 76's 'dev room' last month—so it's no wonder one player that accidentally accessed the sealed Vault 63 this weekend was worried about the developer taking action against their account. So far they haven't been punished, and they managed to grab plenty of photos from inside the vault before fast travelling out.

The player, posting on McStaken on Reddit, said the game warped them into the vault during a Rad-Rat Horde event. Other players in the Reddit thread have been through the same thing, with the game spawning them inside the vault at the start of an event, and the only way to leave is to fast travel out. McStaken is worried about being banned, so they've submitted a support ticket to Bethesda telling the developer what happened.

Vault 63 is sealed in Fallout 76: there's a keycard slot next to the entrance, but nobody has been able to get in legitimately. Players have been able to enter by purposefully glitching inside, and they've also gained access to other sealed vaults, such as 96 and 94.

McStaken took various images inside the vault, including one that suggests it leads into a mine. They also found what they believed to be a nuclear reactor, alongside a skeleton with a Vault 63 jumpsuit. You can see a couple of the images below, or view them all in the thread.

begs Bethesda not to ban them

Modern AAA crap is like living under communism. One innocent fuckup and you're begging the Stasi not to haul you off to prison.

Wow. Just. Wow.

That's like trying to entice people into eating at your restaurant by offering to take a dump on their meal for free.

 

[laclongquan]

Bethesda's games are always with huge bugs and exploits. Always. It's like a guiding philosophy for them.

So of course gamers exploit them. It's a gamer thing, you wouldnt understand.

And Bethesda start to ban people for exploit their bugs...

This Fallout 76 might be the game that break them!

Why would you want them to learn anything? Do you want to deprive us of our fun in the future? This is glorious. I didn't think it was possible but....I want more.

Are they just looking for any excuse to ban people because the sooner they completely run out of players the sooner they can shut this miserable piece of shit down for good?

More like they have no experience in dealing with online multiplayer, don't have enough moderator/game masters/support to deal with the existing player count, didn't train them and don't have the necessary tools (or just buggy tools, in usual Bethesda fashion) to properly distinguish between cheater and legitimate players. Also Bethesda is not helped by having a game with no/little server-side checks, so such cheating seems rather easy.

 

[Latelistener]

They actually said they have no GM tools, so when a guy stuck somewhere they told him to simply "kill himself".

 

[Space Nugget]

I want to know how they are going to spin all of this shit when Todd and Pete start giving interviews again.

Good advice for anyone who plays Fallout 76 actually

Best advice they can give to Bethestards.
