Fallout 76

The seasons are great, i find myself slowly leveling up without even trying and then if i focus on, can shoot up the levels and there are some nice rewards, not a penny spent.

That's weird, one problem I've never had is connection problems. I had to look up a vid about using camp but mine consisted of a sleepbag and stash box for about 10 levels and then i installed a floor. Level 16 and still no walls, she's a work in progress.

I'm not getting that journey ye are talking about. Got another couple of hours in, another disconnect and lost a good bit of fighting. Then a deathclaw murdered me when I tried something else after I loaded back up. I think what's putting me off is MT crap. Even though I can completely ignore it, it's everywhere. And I know they got awful flack for this game and it's MT's, but it doesn't look like they changed anything. I would have paid a one off charge to have my own personal offline world, but they want to charge a monthly fee for that? Nah. The disconnects are putting me off it because I'm losing time/effort every time it happens, and I rarely play through a game a second time, so repeating the same bit every time there's a disconnect? Just wears me down.

I would like to get into it, but I don't think I will. Everything seems slower in comparison to the previous games, and I always feel that shiny button saying "Buy stuff to make the game more enjoyable!" hanging above me. It's still installed, but I've just started Dying Light again (for the 4th time, it's one of only 4 games I've played more than 3 times) so it may not get another look.

The biggest problem with Falloiut 76 are the baby sitting features like hunger and thirst

You know you don't have to care about that anymore? While it used to be the case that you would get small debuffs and start losing health if they ever hit zero, now those meters are purely beneficial.

Sorry something i should have mentioned earlier re: boosting carry weight.
Under Armour.
The enclave one when upgraded boosts strength. Probably other as well.

Brotherhood and Marine UA upgrades add 1 or 2.
Enclave UA upgrades add between 1 and 3.
Secret Service UA upgrades add between 2 and 4.
Vault Tec jumpsuit upgrades add 1 at the higher ends.

I play on crappy wimax. 6 megs and i do not get those problems.
Something odd going on for you i think.

You're gonna have to explain when and how they've changed this because I remember it being annoying AF.

Steel Dawn, so like three months ago.

Basically where a pretty empty hunger/thirst bar used to result in a lowering of your AP regen, with periodic damage of they ever hit zero; now it's just no change. Instead you now get a sliding scale of benefits to AP regen and disease resistance if the meters are full, topping out with bonus STR or END if decently satisfied.

If I can remember to do so later, I'll edit in a table comparing the effects.

|Old Hunger|New Hunger|Old Thirst|New Thirst
81-100%|Max HP +25|Max HP +35, STR +1|AP Regen +25%|AP Regen +35%, END +1
61-80%|-|Max HP +25|-|AP Regen +25%
26-60%|-|Max HP +15|-|AP Regen +15%
21-25%|AP Regen -25%|Max HP +15|AP Regen -25%|AP Regen +15%
0-20%|AP Regen -50%, HP -25%|-|AP Regen -50%, HP -25%|-

Merry Fasnacht!

So i think I'm near the end of the vanilla quest, just hit level 26 and have to get 10 commendations for the enclave and it looks like it's gonna be a bit of a pain. Any recommendations where i can find starred enemies to kill? I already did the enclave event with the bots but not sure how often that spawns!

Also tried Nuclear Winter for the first time just to get my SCORE up for a nice 2500 caps and found it surprisingly fun.

I find the uranium fever event good for legendary spawns.
Leader of the pack is easy and should get you a couple of legendaries.

Workbench repair not an option?

What.......

I mean i thought you could repair weapons at a bench but i have a vague memory of trying it and it saying i needed a repair kit? Don't tell me i could have been repairing weapons without a kit for the last 24 hours of gameplay.

Yep.once you have the materials...repair kit are just for when you don't have the stuff to fix the weapon/armour.

Big monsters will get you one - deathclaws, snallygasters, grafton monsters etc - there are lots of those with fixed spawn points.

Any starred enemy will get you one - do the Leader of the Pack event to pick up 3 different legendary wolves...

Yeah, dunno how I missed the 2nd repair option, must have been in a rush first time I checked. Thanks lads.

Did the leader of the pack and a few enclave events, up to 9 commendations, last one should come soon enough!

Someone dropped a nuke on Whitespring resort, right outside my camp on the cliff overlooking the resort. Birdseye view of the bomb dropping and mushroom cloud, first time seeing that, fairly class.

Nvm, looked up a few things and you need level 3 hacking and lockpicking to handle the robots which comes at level 38, 10 levels above me. Wasted all my ammo and health on it. Went back to my camp and started the wastelanders quest for the treasure hunt and having fun again so will keep at it and come back to the launch the nukes later.

Started playing this last night as its currently on PS+. Spent a couple of hours wandering around farming and unlocking map locations before getting wrecked by some Protectrons. Definitely one I can see myself pouring some time into.

Try and use player camps to buy ammo and stimpaks from their vendors where possible. The vast majority of players sell all kinds of ammo for 1 cap per round.

I think the game is actually easier now than it used to be but for the first 30 odd levels when I started I was constantly struggling to survive and have enough ammo, but I was wasting a lot of caps buying it from robot vendors where it's ridiculous prices.

Any advice please? I reinstalled this as I was craving a FO fix. I loaded up my character, level 32, I was beside a main mission, Find Ra-Ra'. Outside the factory were super mutants that were also level 32. My most powerful weapon (that i have ammo for) is a magnum but the mutants ate about 15 shots before going down. Taking on multiple is out of the question so i leg inside to be met by protectrons who melted me with lasers while my magnum did very little to them. They were also level 32.

So, am i just at a tough mission, are my weapons underlevelled, so i just need to find better weapons?

I know I'll get really get into this game again but I seem to have hit a wall.

Another example is i tried the launch a nuke which i think is end game for the base content? But i get absolutely melted inside the bunker.

I'm a solo player on PS, maybe I stick to side quests to level up and find better loot,?

Yeah I think Level 32 is pretty low for that quest. Not inherently but because you probably don't have good gear. Forget what level certain guns top out at, some are 30, 35, 50, etc. But get the AK47 or the .45 automatic (forget what it's called) and ensure they are levelled up to the max with perks before trying again. A magnum ain't gonna cut it unless it's got god tier rolls and you have the supporting perk cards for it.

Your CAMP fast travel arrival point is basically a certain distance directly due north of where the CAMP module is currently placed; and you will spawn facing the direction you were facing when you first placed the CAMP module down.

Update: am having lot of fun
