I had the same idea, good way to sell cosmetics on their end too.I'm glad we're getting PTT out of the way early. Now let's campaign to get dog companions added.
So what do you guys 'predict' for Fallout 76 in terms of sales? Fallout 4 shipped 12 million copies on its first day. I think it will be somewhere along the 6-9 million copies shipped for the first day, just over half the first push that Fallout 4 had. Being an online game-as-a-service title, however, I think it's going to keep selling good numbers for some time as long as they're consistent with significant updates.
I'd expect a premature roadmap within the month of release.
Tbh I have no clue. ESO wasn't exactly a hit and I doubt this will be either. I think 6+ million day 1 is being way to generous imoSo what do you guys 'predict' for Fallout 76 in terms of sales?

I think 6 is fair whilst 9 is generous. Obviously Fallout 76 isn't popular on gaming forums or the hardcore Fallout reddit community, but it's still a top AAA IP and a BGS game, so I'd actually be surprised to see less than six million copies shipped in the first day. ESO didn't do so good but apparently it continues to do well enough to constantly receive new updates four years after original release. I hope Fallout 76 also sees around five years of post launch support.Tbh I have no clue. ESO wasn't exactly a hit and I doubt this will be either.

I'm guessing you're on PS4? It was never 96 GB, it just appeared to be while installing, idk why.The beta file size was around 96 GB of download and after the a patch of 38 GB was released. Now when you check the infos of the beta, it says just 53 GB. WTH???
The official response on QOL features is disappointing. I shut off voice chat the moment I saw there was no PTT option. Open mics add too much unwanted noise.
I played in third person to avoid motion sickness / headaches. There's an awkward way to zoom back in 3rd person by holding V and dragging the mouse back. This workaround breaks when standing in a claimed workshop area because the exact same keybinding now opens build mode.

Maybe. Maybe not. There was also another time where this chick and this duder ran into each other.That sounds like a bug. When there is no one around me it's perfectly quiet. I only hear people in close proximity.
So you'd have to be sneaking waaaaaaaaaayy before you even engage someone? Or else they'd see your dot approaching? That seems ... I just dunno. I haven't griefed/shot at someone yet.You disappear off the map if you are stealthing. It doesn't happen right away but it does happen. Even tested this with a friend, it does actually work.
I canceled my power armor CE (hope someone who was trying to get it gets it now) - I just have too much shit going on to put a ton of time into this game when deep down I feel like it'll be boring a few weeks in. I hope they improve it and have a roadmap that is fun. I'll end up getting it at some point, just not going to be able to dive in the way I'd want at launch.
What a fucking joke that they can't add a FOV slider.
I'm not someone who usually makes fun of their engine but this is just embarrassing for a AAA developer that makes a crazy amounts of money with every release.
Why are Bethesda's programmer so shit? Like are you kidding me now, you can't even adjust FOV without the game breaking?
Seriously these people should be FIRED, they are killing Bethesda, just look at this fucking game. Why would any company waste money to hire such useless people?
Before you freak out at my post, please take a good look at all the issues in this game (and in Fallout 4 too), this is what we are getting at launch, people.
I really don't want to be rude, I used like like Bethesda games, but now they just seem broken, their design is broken, their decision is broken and even their QA is broken. Just what the hell is going on?
Bethesda is going to be like Telltale one day, mark my words. Their incompetent programming and QA is going to be their down fall.
I don't think I am ever going to buy their games ever again.
I agree the overall quality is crap but everyone is willing to overlook that because it's the Fallout IP, imagine what a competent developer could do with it.

To be fair, although I agree this game deserves some huge backlash for how dated the engine is, we do know this isn't what the real team at Bethesda Game Studios (Todd Howard's team) have been working on. We know the real team has been hard at work on Starfield, hiring new engineers by the bucketload to overhaul the engine (Todd's gone on record to say the animation system has been completely rebuilt as one example), and we know that Fallout 76 started out life as essentially co-op DLC for Fallout 4. Given that it re-uses so many assets and mechanics from the game it was built for, it's not surprising that the engine wasn't able to be changed all that much. Seems like the B team behind this were asked to cobble together whatever they could, tack on some netcode, and churn out a second big Bethesda IP before the generation is over to keep shareholders happy. It's a glorified asset flip. Last gen we had two new TES games and two new Fallout games. This gen we had Fallout 4. And I'm sure Starfield is insanely expensive given how much pre production time it's had...One day people are going to get fed up by their bullshit and I wish that day is the launch day of Fallout 76.
FOV sliders are common in first-person games on PC. It's an anomaly that it isn't in Bethesda's games.FOV isn't a sticking point for me
Sorry to those of you that have become accustomed to these options. Im sure this is likely something of a standard on PC titles at the very least?
Pitfalls of being a high end gamer that has all the bells and whistles i guess... I can only imagine you guys get let down on a regular basis

Counterpoint: There is no one who designs games that click with me like Bethesda does. I love their games, jank and all.
So no, I don't want to see the developers fired over a FOV slider. I don't even care about a FOV slider.
I think it's because when Bethesda modifies one of those huge .ba2 files, you have to re-download the entire archive again instead of just some singular files.I donwloaded 96 GB beta file for PS4 (compared to PC 48 GB). It took me a long long time. Then a 38 GB update which made me miss Tuesday's beta. Now the sum is 53 GB.
Yeah, I don't *need* that stuff either. That said, the lack of mods and console commands, the overall absence of polish, the absence of NPCs and meaningful quests, and the forced multiplayer/always online means that this game will never be a true Bethesda experience.Counterpoint: There is no one who designs games that click with me like Bethesda does.

Live again in 4hrs (7pm UK time).Does anyone please have a timer for the next update? Just for friends from different regions to check when they can try the game. Thanks.
That question is for the first Fallout game. Hold square or X to put your gun away.How to sheathe your weapons? It's kinda unnatural to run the whole time with your weapon aiming at something while there is nothing even when you trigger punches, your hands keep the fighting stances. I read here in Fallout 4 that the you can't do it and you have to unequip a weapon: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/73rf35/fallout_one_how_do_i_holster_my_weapons/
But here I am talking even about hands and punches. did they add a function to not be in combat position like other RPGs in Fallout 76 or not?

What the fuck is this
"I can only imagine you guys get let down on a regular basis", Is your head that much up your ass you type these things?
Yes to both, obviously there are aspects of Fallout, factions for instance, that are easier to appreciate if you've played several titles, but overall they're not very connected, BGS doesn't really make sequels from a narrative perspective.can he still enjoy and understand the story? Are there any strong links to previous games that you can't understand unless you played all games?
Just report and move on, don't dignify them with a response. Well shit that was fast.

Thanks. I know about the time but I wanetd something more visual for some friends who can't convert so they can check timers and be ready to come in. They may miss the time according to their time zones. I wished OP made a timer.
If you type 2pm et into google it converts it to your local time.
It's not for me bro anyway. I said it's for some friends who just want to check in a practical way. Nvm.
ESO is such a lovely game and it runs incredibly well. Sigh...The game offers HDR ? This is first. This is the first Betsheda game (if you don't count Zenimax ESO) to offer HDR
