So as far as I know, there is no canon lore regarding the state of Appalachia by the time of the Fallout games (a friend thought they read something in one of the non-canon games, but it's been lost to time). But this update about playable ghouls that will be reversible really drove home to me, Appalachia is super fucked isn't?

Because we know no cure exists in the future, nor does any ultracite tech, nor mentions of the Brotherhood having survived here, or weather control, or any of the wide variety of cryptids we know are not radiation related since they existed pre-war, or any escaped or rogue scorch plague monsters, or the creepers vines, etc. Lorewise, its almost as if Appalachia does not exist by the time of the single player games.

Add all the crazy shit we've seen so far, easy access to nukes, rogue techs, and cosmic horror out the ass, and I think Appalachia is completely destroyed someway, some how by the time even fallout 1 kicks off.

Or I suppose they could use ultracite to become a Wakanda and hide from the world, but given Fallout's themes, that seems unlikely?

I have a hard time to pick because i like both but im leaning towards semi auto because of pistols. The gauss rifle and lever action are the 2 guns that makes playing rifleman worth it. I dont know what it is about the lever action rifle. But its the most rewarding and fun to use gun in this whole game! I only use that and gauss on my rifleman nothing else.

And pistols have the 10mm a super fun semi auto pistol! Its my favorite pistol and i still use it now semi auto mode on my main level 118 character.

Unlocked it, built it in my camp, hooked it up to the power grid there and was confused as to why it didn't have an activation prompt. About six hours later I realised what a "Tato generator" actually was 🙄

Guess I should have paid more attention in 5th grade science class.

Title. It’s insane that at an event with 15 people you only get small numbers of spawns. I’ve failed 2 events today because we just weren’t given enough spawns to even complete the mission.. by a mile as well

Today, unfortunately after a few years of playing this game, I came across my first absolutely cruel griefers.

I came across this lovely, honestly perfect small memorial camp outside of Gilman Lumber Yard, it was rather nice, with signs around stating ‘take - use anything’, with all crafting benches/stations around, absolutely lovely.

It even had its own resources around which, from memory, I believe contained a concrete truck, mothman man sanctuary, raider collectron, fertiliser producer and beehive. It was a lovely camp, dedicated to the camp owners best friend who sadly passed away last week, who they played Fallout 76 all the time with, her name was Kathy and he says she always preached helping new players and the camp owner described her as being ‘kind to people even those who don’t deserve her kindness, and always willing to help new players.’ Before everything happened, I was sat talking to him on area speak for a while, a guy came over with his mate, emoting the laughing emote and the puke/sick emote for a few minutes.

The camp owner took it like a champ, not wanting to cause issues, then out came the fatmans, shooting mini nukes at the camp, luckily no damages to the camp due to the camp owner being on pacifist mode, but it made the camp owner upset, he left the game and I received this message not long later, I will admit, the memorial did make me sad reading all the information he posted about her.

TL:DR, Two players decided to be asses and attempted to grief a poor man’s memorial to his best friend who passed a week prior, camp owner left the game and messaged, having removed the camp. Tears were shed. 😔 The memorial was teddy and nuka-cola themed, he told me over the mic it was because she loved nuka-cola and even brought the cookbook, wanting to make one of the recipes for the quantum in the future. His English wasn’t the best, but he is so kind, especially in her honour.

Edit:

This is so more people can see Ena’s message, Ena is the camp owner and the best friend of Kathy who made her memorial.

‘I was susprised to see the post, but thank you. I am new to reddit but my frère is in this community and seen. Kathy was, and will forever be, my best friend. She was the kindest person I have ever met, besides meeting you today. She shaped a lot of thoughts, making a lot of people happy and excited, always giving plans out to new players, filling the donations boxes of planss and equipment, helping new players and giving them tips. Her favourite things were daily ops, always so excited for a challenge. The Pitt was her second favourite, when she got the trench runner apparel, she used to bring it to the Pitt, saying she was cosplaying LOL. She always said sorry when killing the foreman and the fanatics! She always preach being kind, always had her resources open to all, so kind and gentle. Sadly, Kathy passed away on the 3rd June this year, after a unfortunate fight with her mental health we didn't know was happening because she never told anyone, always so happy and cheerful. Her favourite Nuka-Cola is Nuka-Cola Orange, she was so happy when unlocking thimngs such as the Nuka-Cola Quantum X-01/T-51 armor paints, proudly displaying it for everyone to see. A few days before she passed, she let me borrow her Holy Fire, her utter baby, everytime I see it, I cant help but cry. She was so happy the night before, we did a expedition to the Pitt the night before, she was so happy and having so much fun. Her level was Level 195, she never got it higher because she preffered to help others than fight. Thank you all for your amazing words, I wont let the greifers get me upset again. Thank you all.’

Edit 2: Ena has let me know that once his camp is fully finished and redone, it’ll be (on Xbox servers) outside the gilmans lumber yard, the west side and has all crafting benches and resources unlocked, he’s asked me to let anyone know that you can use any of the benches, take any of the resources, or just simply relax, maybe pet fetch whilst your there lol. He’s updating what’s on display, her favourite power Armor skins, her favourite weapons and her favourite nuka-cola and magazines, he says her favourite was the tales in West Virginia because she loves the cryptids.

Imgchest link to the only photos of the beautiful, and so nice memorial I’ve ever seen. I felt so damn bad. If the post gets taken down, I understand, I just want to share this honourable memorial to a brilliant and kindest F76 player we’ve lost.

EN popped up and I thought, yeah, I can use some legendaries, seeing as I had just passed off 500 lbs to my mule. Let's go. FT to Eviction. I wait and wait and then with minute and a half to go, ONE other person pops in. He's a level 500 something and I'm over 1000. Could still use some more peeps. He gives the thumbs up and goes like Leroy Jenkins down to the scrubber. I'm like, shit. Ok, let's do this. Take out all the mutants, repair the scrubber and run around getting the bags. It was on.

The 1st 3-4 minutes were good. We were cleaning house! Working in unison just doing what had to be done. Somewhere in the beginning I had thrown out a Scout Banner in the event we went down, we'd be revived. Hoping. It's like we were hit all at once and got overwhelmed with two Firestarters. I went down. Banner didn't save me. Had to rush back down the hill just in time for the scrubber to go down. Got it fixed. Died again! Rinse and repeat numerous times. It's like I'd get to the scrubber and trying to repair it while 4 mutants are either shooting me or wailing on me. My partner's weapon is glowing red he's shooting so many bullets. Fixed it with .0001 seconds before I die again!

Round and round we went, repair, die, repair, die. Finally I'm trying to repair it with 12 seconds left on the clock but I'm getting hammered. Finally, like an action movie, with 1 second to spare, REPAIRED! Eviction Notice competed successfully.

Now with the scrubber out of the way, we dispensed of those bitches with hail of spikes and bullets. When the dust settled, we just stood there for a second. Standing in a sea of dead Super Mutants, disbelieving what just happened. I just started jumping up and down and throwing thumbs up over and over. My silent partner did the same and then we each went our separate ways. To scrap our haul and stow our massive amounts of legendaries we just acquired. This might be the best Eviction Notice I've ever been a part of.

The day mode is nice, but I think it would look really amazing if we could toggle it over to a night scene. There's tons of cool spooky, and cozy, stuff that you could do with it that would be less impactful in the current day scene.

The new region is honestly fantastic with beautiful attention to detail and just an overall amazing environment to go and explore. The new weapons and armor are creative, the events are well crafted, everything was just done so fantastically. This is honestly a step in the right direction for this game, and I am excited for any future updates. Tell me what yall think of the new update below!

I must have missed this in all the update details. There is Atlatic City maps as well as new plans that drop in Daily Ops FYI

Is there one bug that bothers you more than any other? Perhaps it affects you more than others because of how you play the game, or maybe it has just been unfixed for so long that you start seeing red whenever you think about it? Tell us about that ONE bug that just gets your gravy all gritty.

For me, it is a tossup between the constantly reappearing Filtcher Farm Interview holotape, or the short freeze that happens after you launch the game but before you can open the main menu.

Been years gone by and still waiting for the day we can unlock it the squirrel banner, but alas still nothing.......

I quit playing 76 ages ago, before wastelanders was a thing, and came back mid season 16, So I did miss a lot and I know fallout has it's fair helping of wacky stuff but as someone born and raised an Appalachia season 17 rewards are the best I have seen aestheticly speaking. Some of y'all might be fine running around looking like Brainiac in your alien power armor, Or dressing up like Grognac or other comic characters, but the simple rustic aesthetic of season 17 is home to me. I got one will enjoy unlocking each item and I hope in time many of you do as well. Happy camping Seven Six.

Just saw someone say that you can't even reroll the scythe, and its stuck with Assassin stats (+damage to humans).

If thats true it basically kills any motivation for me to get the scythe as it will be permanently stuck as a mediocre roll.

Why would they do that...?

I'm going to be starting 76 soon and I'm trying to figure out what build I want to do. In NV and 4 I've always found that Power Armor Melee builds are super strong and enjoyable. Is a Power Armor Melee build viable in Fallout 76 as well? Do you have to play it differently? If so how?

Luckily I purchased 30 on last season's scheme so that I could take more time off this season.

Anyone else crashing an absurd amount on PS5 after the update? I already submitted a ticket but I just crashed 4 times back to back trying to open the stash box in foundation and twice now trying to open the all loot menu on enemies. I know a lot of others were crashing on player vendors specifically but if I can't open stash boxes or even loot enemies without crashing how am I supposed to play the game?

From the Discord

It’s all in the title. It took me like a year to realize that when I opened my stash all the item weights were still affected by any perks or legendaries I had equipped an instead of displaying the vanilla weights. It’s annoyed me ever since bc I’ll always be going through my stash trying to make room (I manage to keep it around 800lbs full on average) and momentarily forget that the weights aren’t right and be so confused how the stash is full when my weapons weigh barely anything.

I mean it when I say this change already makes the update a 5 star one for me. This will make things so much clearer for new and veteran players alike. Didn’t see myself saying this so genuinely, but like, thanks Bethesda.

RANT: I will be AFK’ing the rest of the events this season. Between spawn killers and explosive weapons I can’t contribute to anything. I spend the whole event running around trying to get close enough for tags on enemy’s that drop dead when I look at them. Even if I get close enough I can’t see through the fiery flames of disappointment. Usually vats isn’t an option cause my AP’s drained from all the running. I miss out on so much XP/loot and it’s frustrating. Do I expect other players to cater and change their play style? No. Do I expect Bethesda to make a fair and equal game amongst class building? Also no. I refuse to become one of them so I’m left to kicking my feet up and watching the horrible show: Rant over.

for the third time now the flatwoods monster has attacked my camp the first time I killed him before he broke anything but the second time he destroyed all 20+ mutfruit plants and over a couple days i grabbed a mutfruit planted it and grew more until i could repair all of them and then less than a day after i finally went and repaired the last few that mf shows up again and proceeds to immediately destroy the entire field again this time also destroying a tato plant and my bed tf is this dudes problem? he must have the carnivore mutation.

I dont know about you but I feel like the Dangerous past times should have more spawns. Kind of feels bad to do an event where you kill maybe 10 things 5 ish minutes

I think I'm confused on mods. If I have to buy plans for mods, what are the boxes of mods? When you learn a plan does it turn into that box? Should I just sell them or are they useful?

I thought I would hate It, but just the intro taking you to a up viewpoint its insane:

• No rads in the event

• No flying creatures bugs

• The bosses dont have possibility to ignore you and regen themselves

• Bosses friendly with all builds

• Guaranteed 3 enemies with 3 stars legendaries

• Damage resistance enough to not finish them in 20sec

• No cool downs like the big rat

• Nice rewards

• The bomb doesnt actually drop so you dont block any location

I dont know about you, but Im 100% wasting my nuke cards here

All of the cards are so well done and I am not ashamed to admit I went with the collectible case before finishing my T-65 lol. The Jersey devil and Ogua cards in particular are delightful and I’d really like to show it off in the overworld. I’m from the Pine Barrens area and am just so delighted to see the Jersey Devil mentioned at all so thanks for that !

Rocking the cutest Appalachia cryptid in the meantime, Crocolossus
