  • i still wanna know what happened with the vault filled with 99 women and 1 panther​​

    You mean Vault 43? That was twenty women, ten men, and one panther.

    But at least we know what happened to Vault 77, with one man and a crate of puppets:
    https://bethesda.net/en/article/5kmyQ0ufHGeCcW6McWyc2G/welcome-to-fallout%27s-legendary-vault-77

    (That's canon, too - you can find a Vault 77 suit, along with a cautionary note, in one of the shops at Paradise Falls.)

  • yeah, that one - what was up with the panther? was it supposed to be there for hunting purposes or did VT posit that, due to the lack of men compared to women, some of the women might've tried laying with the panther?​​

    Thirty people in a standard 200-person vault, along with a man-eating cat? I suppose they could be trying to create a new society of extreme hunters, capable of hiding from vicious predators - a Ninja Vault, if you will. (Let's face it, that's really no crazier than Vault 95, occupied by chem addicts on a treatment plan, with a roomful of chems set to open up after five years...)

    If anything I bet that vault was best prepared for the wasteland... well unless it wasn't an immortal panther, in which case it probably died long before any of those people tried to leave the vault. You know they really should have had a family of panthers in the vault so they could reproduce and present an ongoing threat. Then decades later when they leave the vault they will be somewhat prepared for things like mole rats.​​
  • beezeezebeezeeze Posts: 927 Arc User
    I bet if you cracked open that vault all you would find is 30 skeletons and one giant radioactive mutant super panther. The plan was obviously to eventually unleash pantherzilla upon an unsuspecting wasteland.

  • spinnytopspinnytop Posts: 16,450 Arc User
    I dunno how many VATS punches to the face would it take to subdue a panther?​​
  • beezeezebeezeeze Posts: 927 Arc User
    Hopefully less than 30 because VATs doesn't slow down time anymore! (I still use it as much as possible because I'm really bad at aiming with an xbox controller and I've never learned to play any of the fallout games on a mouse and keyboard. Shouty man in the video also said VATs in the new game was bad. It isn't.)

    You know I notice that in all these Fallout76 reviews I see them showing the same bugs/glitches over and over... in some cases it's the exact same footage of a person walking up to four Scorched laying on the ground and then T-posing. Really undercuts the idea that the game is as buggy as they want to yell it is u3u

    Also someone freaking out about godrays coming through a hill for like 10 minutes seems... petty​​

  • beezeezebeezeeze Posts: 927 Arc User
    Yep this latest bit of awful news is actually truly awful. I may have been rolling my eyes a bit about the complaints about the game itself but accidently releasing player's personal information to the public is just an absolutely colossal screw up.

    I dunno I've heard terrible things about that game. Like not just "world is empty, gaem is boring" stuff, but like serious security issues. It's starting to look like they set it up in the same way GunZ 2 was setup, i.e. hackers paradise.​​

    Script kiddies with Cheat Engine or FPS exploits wasn't the issue here, it was Bethesda's own incompetence with doxing their own customers.

    I never finished Daggerfall for all the bugs and crashes to desktop DOS prompt, so I guess I’ve been on trend since 1996.

    The PSN wasn't "exposed" in the same way Bethesda's support system was in this latest fiasco. Hackers were dedicated enough to find a way to break security measures in place. The people who hacked PSN had to use unconventional methods to find a vulnerability in their servers.

    There has never been an instance where a PSN user raising a support ticket was able to view another user's ticket's information that not only contained the nature of their complaint, but also their name, home address and credit card info, because that's what exactly happened with Bethesda's support system. This isn't a case of hackers with malicious intent to steal private information from Bethesda's servers, anyone could do it by simply using the support system as intended.

    I can understand overlooking game bugs if you're enjoying the game and that leading to you thinking the developer is great and all, but draw the line somewhere and hold them accountable when they **** up badly like this.

    I'm ready and willing to hold Bethesda accountable. However, what I object to is the attempt to bash F76 itself because of this. When it happens to other developers, nobody tries to claim that's a mark against the developer's games - yet somehow, in this instance, it's considered to be a valid complaint to direct against the game itself.

    Then again, I never saw why the whole "canvas/nylon" thing was such a big deal anyway. I didn't buy the Power Armor Edition for a bag, I bought it for a replica T-51b helmet, which I have. The carrying bag, map, and army-man-style figurines are just a nice bonus.

    I guess. But then again you could say anyone’s an idiot for paying $200 at all for F76 for any reason which I don’t think would be 100% accurate
    Buffing everything to stupid high levels and nerfing everything to piss poor levels yields the same results, but not the same community reactions.

    Also true. I paid $60 for F76, and another $120 for a T-51b power-armor helmet replica with a voice changer (which last bit I didn't even know about until it got here). Given prices for various Halloween costume bits (from many franchises, not just this one), it was reasonable.

    I also got a carrying bag with a West Tek logo (the company that developed powered armor, among other things), a map, and an assortment of miniatures.

    What minis though? Seriously... I never got a good look at them...

    Are they in scale with Fallout: Wasteland Warfare?

    Probably not, because they're not even in scale with each other (then again, if they were either the Mr. Handy would be too easy to lose or the Scorchbeast would fill most of the bag).

    There are two options:
    1. They intended to put lootcrates in the game, but ditched the idea (over the recent backlash)
    2. They are intending to put lootcrates in the game, in the near future.

    The code for doing so, is apparently already in place, aka. Todd Howard is a liar.

    How is it speculation, when it's written into the game already?
    The contents are:
    XP boosts, increased equip load, radiation resistance, damage bonus, aswell as perk cards...


    Sorry, but they said exactly this: It's only going to be -> cosmetic.
    They recently stealth nerfed the exp gain. This is common practice in the gaming industry (usually mmos), just to sell you the nerfed exp in form of exp boosters and that, along with the other crate contents is far from cosmetic.

    You can read, right? Stockholm syndrome much? Of course, now that gamers found out about the code being in place, Bethesda is going to pull the brakes on their plans. But still, it doesn't make their secret attempt at shoving MTX into the customers faces, less insulting.
