Discussion // Bethesda Replied I lost my 2k+ character and over a thousand dollars today because of support.

575 Upvotes

Had that unique problem that some players have where their game links to somewhere else when you first installed and for over a year I never thought much of it. Recently I found a few bundles that I'd had liked to purchase from the ticket submission form, so I reached out to support to see if it was possible. I read that unlinking accounts could make you lose everything, so I was hesitant and instead opted to question support to see what would happen if I did get help. The first agent was attentive and we exchanged a few tickets as I gave all my necessary info. Half way through, a new agent took over. And I assume this agent didn't read that I was just ASKING what would happen. So he took it upon himself to just link the two accounts seeing that all the info was there. And, yeah. 3 thousand hours gone. Over a grand down the drain, countless friends and communities I was able to make and get into, all the rare apparel I spent sleepless nights grinding for, all the camps I made with my fiance and uploaded to YouTube. Gone. To top that all off my fiances engagement ring broke and we're both in a catastrophic state. This is my no good terrible very bad day. Thank you reading, and thank you for playing with me. I hope they can resolve this, but I'm not feeling hopeful anymore. Thank you to the best community I ever met and played with. I'm gonna have to move games again to somewhere I don't risk losing it all. If you'd like to see what me and my fiance made, it's on my page. Not promotional, just simply letting you visit a graveyard at this point.

Update 1- ticket was escalated and the mod on here was very supportive. There's no guarantee on anything, but it will be reviewed first thing in the morning. I will update you all then. Thank you so much for the support we really appreciate it! Another reason we love this community so much and don't want to lose it.

Discussion Candy goes on the porch.

  1. Candy goes on the porch.

I have never expected IRL trick or treaters to fetch candy from the top of a Conestoga wagon haphazardly placed in my yard.

  1. The candy; it goes on the porch

This camp had the candy bowl icon. No bowl anywhere. There was a maze, though. Not a spooky maze. A maze with glass walls, which was a choice. This at least made it quick. Got to the end. Still no candy bowl.

  1. Put the candy bowl on the goddamn porch.

Discussion Raven Rock - is a potential appearance by Harold possible?

Question: Raven Rock - is a potential appearance by Harold possible?

I’m thrilled about the future opportunity to return to the Capital Wasteland, so I’m already starting to think about what locations might appear there, and I have a question: could we see Harold in the Capital Wasteland in 2105? (or in the year shown on the calendar if Bethesda decides to change the current year in the Pip‑Boy).

Harold himself mutated in 2102, which is already three years before the events of Fallout 76, up until that point, he had already been engaged in caravan trade. Perhaps he could have come to the Capital Wasteland during those years in search of a cure to heal himself?
I understand that Oasis was founded around the 2250-s, when Harold finally grew and got stuck in one place. But we could see a very small camp of Harold’s in place of the Oasis, where some greenery would already be present, since his tree had already produced its seeds for the first time.
We could complete some kind of quest for him, and then, according to the plot, he would set off again in search of a cure.
I really liked this character, and besides, he was almost the most frequently shown character in the Fallout franchise, with the exception of the last two games, and Fallout 76 is the perfect option for us to see him again!
What you think, would you like to see Harold in the game?

Question What is going on with my Red Terror?

Post image
81 Upvotes

After running the Dangerous Pastimes event dozens upon dozens of times, I finally found the gun I have been looking for, the Red Terror. To be clear, it did not drop for me, but I was able to barter it off of a team mate for who it did drop.

I ran to mod it and noticed something strange. Everywhere I look, it says that the Red Terror should have a 150 round magazine that pops up to 300 with the large magazine. Mine how ever does not. The gun should also have the furious one star legendary effect, which mine also doesn't have.

What's going on? More like the Red Error...

Discussion Is Fallout 76 Your Favorite Fallout Game?

77 Upvotes

I'm curious to know if anybody here thinks Fallout 76 is either the best, or their personal favorite Fallout game. It's controversial, but I'm sure at least some of you might say so. It's not my favorite entry, but I think the map, exploration, and detail in recreating accurately West Virginia makes this the best Fallout map so far, though not the most iconic. If it's not your favorite game, but you have a favorite aspect of 76, feel free to share that too.

Discussion Is it not a role playing game?

50 Upvotes

I was just told I'm being reported for griefing because I ate someone who went down to the Slasher.

My character is a raider cannibal. If you go down during events, I'm going to eat you. I don't even take junk, even though I should, but I'm seeing constant posts about "ethics" and "toxicity" during the Slasher.

I'm not evil. On my main character, I have Helping Hands and every charisma perk for reviving downed players because she's a Vault medic who went with the settlers. But that's HER role.

Are these really the same fans that gave Fallout 4 crap for being linear and not a true rpg?

Is it not role-playing? I saw a post earlier where a low level stuck up robbery attempted another player saying, "Give me 100 guns or I'll shoot ya." And half the comments were on a high horse saying, this is why I keep "You're the dumbass notes" or "I keep clown items for those moments to give to idiotic players."

I swear some people are fortunate to be new fans. In the early non-NPC days, I would be excited even for things like trap camps because it meant human interaction.

43 Upvotes

Or something that even more explicitly means "please for the love of god take my candy," although I don't know how you'd put that in emote form, but something. Sure it might be annoying to see people spam it at their teams, but I feel like it would be a lot less annoying than losing out on these weekly challenges because players don't go to other candy bowls.

I feel like I've noticed a decent drop off of people interacting with the Halloween event this year, maybe it's just me because I've had less time to play and/or playing at different times but it's just felt slow community wise this year. Is this just me or have other people had this feeling this year?

Discussion New Hair/Facial Hairs, and Tattoos.

38 Upvotes

Fallout 76 has so many ways to express yourself. Unique and creative playstyles are encouraged, new weapons and weapon types have been added. Power armor/armor!

But one thing that has yet to be expanded on, because it doesn't hold any value in terms of gameplay is pure character creation additions.

It's no secret that Fallout 76 is just an evolution of Fallout 4 with a lot of reused assets.
So the hairs we see are all the same things we saw or used in 2015 in Fallout 4.

I understand prioritizing things that contribute to the games mechanics.
But a lot of long time players are here for a long time, and we get bored of the same ol' same ol'.
We care about all aspects of the game.

We want to express ourselves, we want to have a little more ways to do so.

A simple update with a handful of hairs/beards/makeups/tattoos once in a blue moon would go a long way.

If they were to add some, what are some ideas for some you'd like to see??

Question Permanently Over Encumbered

35 Upvotes

Hi everyone. idk if anyone has experienced this but it seems like my character is always over encumbered. I was salvaging some stuff and my weight was 280/230. My max used to be 260 so idk what changed. I got rid of a ton of stuff i was carrying, and eventually bought some weight boosters. But when I drank the boosters, the carry weight went up to 340/280. Idk how to fix this, I think it’s a bug?

EDIT: Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I figured out it was all of my ammo. I was carrying a bunch of fusion and plasma cores, and cannonballs lol! I donated them all at the Wayward donation box. down to 123/240.
