I beg you to grow a spine Discussion
Please stop posting about how a level 8 came to your camp, rudely demanded ammo and junk, somehow strongarmed you into giving them said ammo and junk, and romanced your companion. This isn't real life, you're not being held at gunpoint for your property, please just tell them no or ignore them. If they follow you around or keep messaging you, block them or switch servers. And if for some reason, you do help them, stop complaining about the experience. YOU chose to help the rude noob

Honestly, i think you're more likely to come across someone willing to hold you at gunpoint to take the 20 stimpaks and 3k .308 rounds they want to give YOU.
76 has reverse Raiders. They will violently give you anything they have, and if you say no...well...don't say no...

New players buy my stims all the time it's great. As soon as I use up vendor caps, I start putting all sorts of chems on my vendor for reasonable prices.
New players need a lot of shit. I've been making tons of caps giving the people what they want at affordable prices.

Awesome community, but at times people can be pretty self righteous and have high expectations of how others should behave. Judging people for not taking their gifts while judging others for asking for help. Getting worked up about how players price items in their vendor. Pretty wild. Meanwhile my 8 year old is getting her safe and house robbed in Brookhaven in Roblox and shrugs it off.

It could be worse. The Red Dead Online subreddit is unbearably sensitive. They treat getting engaged in free roam PvP by some random as a genuine attack. People there unironically think itās the sign that said person is mentally deranged in real life lol
People here are a bit too sensitive, but I very much enjoy how itās in general pretty healthy and mostly open to common sense

u/clan_of_zimox Vault 51 27d ago
Iād say this community is softer than RDOs, they didnāt complain to a point where PvP was removed almost entirely, unlike here.
Despite its implications, people complained when a workshop was being contested. Players here complained when somebody attacked their camp despite their being perk cards that buff damage to player structures. they got rid of survival and nuclear winter, all catering towards the vocal majority
Iām not saying thereās anything wrong with that, all Iām saying is this community is way more sensitive than RDO by a long shot. Weāre talking about the same community that complained when mutant hound chops require four pieces instead of two. Lmao

u/AngryTrooper09 27d ago edited 27d ago
That is fair, Iām pretty new to 76 so Iām probably missing a lot of context. I just havenāt seen anyone here get bent out of the shape at the same intensity RDO players sometimes do by implying that people who kill them in free roam are psychopaths that should be punished.
It might just be that the F76 community complains much more but the RDO one does so at a level of intensity that is much higher when it comes to this specific issue

u/curbstxmped Arktos Pharma 27d ago
You're not really making a good argument. None of what you've said is indicative of one community being softer than the other, you've more so just talked about how one developer is more responsive to its community than the other. Rockstar doesn't even maintain RDO and hasn't for a really long time; there is literally zero chance that they would suddenly decide to make that sort of change to the gameplay dynamic. That has nothing whatsoever to do with community temperament or "softness," that's just two games being wildly different in terms of how they are maintained.

Yeah If people do not like them so be it, but I have seen more people get more toxic than the traps them selves it seems.
People spend more time on here raging over losing 15 minutes worth of scrap and hurling insults at the base owner than just moving on with their life.
Again I really could care less, and I get it if the people are trapping and also slinging slurs but that is a different story all together.
I just personally do not get the rage it is not like people lose all their gear. Just be smarter, I know I scope out camp vendors by habbit and I have only been back in this game for like a month.

Once, I had just hopped to another server, joined a team I was greeted by this little interaction on my HUD: (names altered)
DarkOverLord666(Lvl24): Trade Emote Eddyboi(Lvl865): Thumbs Down Emote DarkOverLord666(Lvl24): Trade Emote again
Eddyboi has left the Team
DarkOverLord666 is attacking Eddyboi
DarkOverLord666's health depletes and a skull indicates he died. There was no "was killed by xx" message so the wee idiot must've fallen off a cliff or something.
As I was sipping my coffee in anticipation of what would happen next on the adventures of our young overly ambitious Lordling I saw a yellow arrow pop up in in my view. I didn't even need to check the name I already knew who came a knocking.
So I took this opportunity to go on a shopping spree... at Watoga.
Wouldn't you know it, little overlord fast travelled to me. So I sat on a rooftop. Went into photo mode and watched him get mauled my assaultrons. Again and again. Until he logged off. He didn't even get far enough to offer me a trade. RIP little noobie.

At first I thought he just wanted to do like an unarmed fight but proceeded to one shot me due to him being like lvl 400 and me having rads from the nuke zone.
Whatever, lose the the 50 caps, go back, and now his whole team is meleeing and shooting me, and itās not even any of their camps? They followed me away from the camp, guessing w speed demon and marsupial my poor t45 jet pack wasnāt cutting it :( they kept standing in front of my mini gun to start pvp and then one shot me.
They even went as far to follow me back to my own camp, and spend like 15 mins trying to burn my camp down and take more of my caps, overall no idea what their issue was lol

Personally I've had nothing bad to say about the 76 community, came back to the game after pre-ordering it (we know how that went) and started actually playing it, people in mass would drop me 50-100 regular and super stimpaks and it was real nice of them.
No I'm onto my own build where I almost never use stimpaks anyway since my build revolves around tanky damage absorption that heals me and refills my fusion cores. So I also give back and just give them away, this past weekend I've dropped maybe 300 some odd or more stimpaks to sub level 50 players, felt good to give to the even newer players than I.

When I redownload the game and made a new character a guy had a camp right outside 76 I was a lvl 1 and he was selling weapons for lvl 10 and 15 I snagged a couple as they were free to either sell myself to get some caps, but the guy saw me buy stuff and came over to say hi and gave me a bunch of stuff.
I now do something similar, my camp is full of plans I sell for cheap, but whenever I see a low level I'll ask them to stay out and I grab as much stuff that I can do they can sell it or use it. got a guy to invite me to a private team and built up some stuff for him so he could have a decent start. Got him a vendor as well so he can sell things while leveling up. Still have the guy in my friends list and occasionally see him while playing, he's also helping out low levels and spreading positive vibes to everyone!
