Fallout 76 B.E.T.A. |OT| War has changed.

Wow. I've probably played like 10 hours of the beta and I am still in Morgantown...
Controls are identical to fallout 4.
Only exception is map is on the options button. Other than that it's exactly the same.
Well can you at least remap the controls in a correct way in FO4? When you invert triangle and X in FO76, when using the photomode, you get 2 triangle buttons instead and no X button and you can't take a picture. Same for pipboy, map and menu.
if you are at a weapons or armour bench, look at the bottom of the screen. there is a button prompt there to scrap all junk. usually y on a xbox controller.
I walked by another player today who had built his camp over the river and it was awesome. I tried to take some pictures but for some reason every screen shot i tried to take in game were coming up blank.
Yeah, this game has a lot of issues. Though I doubt reviews will sway me. I already know the game is a bit of mess from the beta yet it was fun to explore the world with a friend. We will probably just explore the map and quit after if there isn't any substantial content to draw back in.

So I'm guessing making junk into bulk is so you can make the junk weigh less and easier to sell? Got 400/400 weight at my camp and trying to figure out how to make room without getting rid of important stuff.
Btw I'm really loving it. Great game to just veg out and explore / loot stuff.

I didn't do many quests. I just wanted to explore and kill stuff. The last long beta that's all I did went from cranberry big and just went straight north. Obviously I didn't got every single named location. The game is massive and has tons of places to visit.
Craft with it. Make a bunch of leather armor or pipe pistols or whatever. Turn that junk into XP.
See my post, #2647 on page 53 of this thread. The vendortrons have shared money and selling bulk junk can actually be decently profitable. I do not know if other vendors also have shared currency, outside of the Responder ones.
Additionally some of the bulk recipes seem better on weight while others don't seem to. 30 steel+2 plastic weighs 0.92 pounds and turns into 0.75 with bulk, but bulk copper didn't seem to have any weight-saving benefits.
Trying to plan a build and choosing different SPECIAL stats than the perk card you want is so confusing. I actually had to write this stuff down, since the build planning tools don't really consider you don't have every card equipped all the time.
For example, I am level 19. At level 20 you can choose the Expert Rifleman perk so I am going to choose that from levels 20-22, but not level Perception since I already have enough to equip that and other Perception perk cards I want. So I have to figure out where I want those SPECIAL points to go in relation to what card perks I want in the future, and for that you have to plan exactly for when cards are available, or adapt on the fly if you get a lucky pull from a pack, and eerrrrrrrgh.
By the way the game doesn't make it clear you can pick a SPECIAL stat when leveling up but pick a card from another stat. It defaults to show you perk cards from the SPECIAL category you picked. To choose a different card but keep the same SPECIAL stat look for the prompt to change the card sorting after you pick your stat. On PC it is C and Z.

Wow that's surprising to hear that from you man. I know you were really into it there for a while. I agree though. I think the performance right now is just too rough for me to bother with it. My friends that I played with felt the same as well so we're probably going to mess around in RDR2 Online this month instead. I still think this game has potential but it's definitely a wait and see purchase further down the line.
Totally didn't consider crafting with it! I really need to get better crafting b/c right now I can't craft that much. Think I'll invest in weaponsmith & armorsmith lvl 1 when it releases.
Will check out that post. Don't think I've run across a vendortron in the entire beta but I'll keep an eye out.
Oh shit. I was wondering why I got a new point in a random stat a few times. Apparently I've been accidentally doing this. I just thought I was browsing through the cards before picking one.
Does the size of your camp area ever grow? Budget supposedly goes up as you level, but what about my build area? Feel so constrained in this game where I can build cause of it, lot of cool places to choose from, but the size of your camp forces you to try to maximize ground space available

This is weird.

Nope. It's actually pretty generous horizontally IMO, but you can only build four storeys high.
I can't wait for mods to make CAMPs unlimited.
I'm gonna be passing on this game. I got a digital code for x1 if anyone is interested in it. Tried the beta and couldn't enjoy it sadly :(

Played an hr. was choppy a lot of the time. My cpu is the culprit I would assume. fov was almost as narrow as a console game. I think I may cancel my pre order. sucks because that's the only game my friends will play.
I'd love to grab it. Let me know what you want for it, thanks!
that usually means all of your junk is already scrapped down to its component parts.
I was wondering about and found one with a skeleton in it. It was in a warehouse so I took it.
Amazon never sent me my Beta code for pre-ordering. Without the chance to try it out for myself and seeing some of the impressions of the game pointing to it really not being for me I'm gonna go ahead and cancel my pre-order.
This legit needs it's own thread. It's fucking horrible
Sent you a msg. LF $50 USD for it. Paypal, Amazon, or Xbox card.
Played yesterday for a bit, somehow I couldn't listen to the Holotapes anymore. Just static noise on it and the game does not register that I listened to it, the Overseer Quest #3 / #4 are still marked as open.
Okay something is up. Pre-orders must be incredibly low because this is the third retailer to throw the towel in on the price of the game.
No AAA game has ever gone this low before release in Australia, or at least none that I can recall.
Yea, I picked up some overseers tapes out of order and now the quest seems incredibly buggy. No markers on the map, I think it'll ping as if it updates if I find another one, but obviously, I have no idea how many more there are or anything like that.
Everything, have you looked at other games that came out this year? Even fucking Call of Cthulhu has better graphics, animation and presentation than this, oh and it's also no a technical mess, oh and your character also moves a lot better.
Fallout 76 feels like it's made by 30 people in a basement. Seriously why is Bethesda so backwards? Like what is this gameplay? Fallout 4 already felt stiff and outdated back in 2015 but now they are releasing the same quality shit in 2018, it's absolutely shameful.
Bethesda's attitude towards game making is pathetic, it's the ''good enough'' attitude.
Everything is just ''good enough'' for them, there's no ''I want to make this game as polished and as best as possible'', it's always ''Guys I think the game is good enough, some bugs here and there but at least it's not unplayable. It works! That's good enough! Let's ship it.''
I have never seen any other AAA studio that's so ''whatever'' with their game's quality, even fucking EA care more about polishing their games than Bethesda does.
If Bethesda open a restaurant all of their meat would be half cooked, and the customers will have to fully cook the meat themselves.
''Well we cooked it alright, not very thorough but should be good enough to eat. $4.99 please''

I agree with most of your complaints, but not to the same extent/volume, I guess. 30 people in a basement? Seems like extreme hyperbole. It's an average looking game made from Bethesda's newest studio.
I feel like the dev decisions behind the game's quest and world design are way more egregiously awful than any of this "the engine!" stuff people parrot about, but I know I'm in the minority on that.

Do you even know what average means? We are not playing on 360 and PS3 anymore.
Well at least I'm not being ''whatever'' on their game's quality like a lot of their fans does.
''whatever dude it's still Fallout so who cares about those stuff''
The entire Fallout team and its community is just a big steaming pile of ''whatever''
''it's not great, but it's not terrible, so whatever''
''it's buggy but it works, so whatever''
''it's unacceptable but I love Fallout, so whatever''
I understand your point, but you're being dismissive of people who just want to have fun with a videogame and don't really dwell on that kind of stuff.
