I'm a total of 800 hrs in and still have way to much to do daily.
Yeah apart from the Enclave quest nothing is super important tbh.
I would say the stuff like the secret mini quests to open the three domes are handy to have done.
If there's that much content then I'm in for a treat. I love the Fallout universe so if there's that much stuff to do I'm excited by it.
The quests are around fifty hours but events, building, trading and winning good loot takes ages.im leveling my PS character up at the mo and at lvl27 I haven't got around to any story missions yet.
800 hours is hardcore, so don't expect going in to have 800 hours worth of content. lol
But if you enjoyed Fallout 4 then you will have a lot to do. Personally I finished off most of the quests and completed the map at around 150 hours give or take. Exploring the map and different locales is probably the best part, and this was before Bethesda implemented seeing people's camps on the map.
A lot of the "post-game" content comes from what you put into it and if you consider it fun. Building a cool camp, for instance, can take days or weeks but none of it is necessary. Again, there's more incentive to build a cool camp now that people can see it and buy stuff from your vendors. If you like PvP there's survival mode and battle royale, too.
I'm personally going to play again once the Wastelanders DLC hits. I'm not too big on the grindy MMO stuff they've added.
Ah, okay. I'd be happy with even 150 hours :) Yup, I really liked Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4. I'll take a wait and see approach since my friends and I will likely be jumping into Destiny 2 for the time being.

I found the cryptid mystery quests to be really well written and clearly more involved than 'go here, kill this.' They have you searching for clues and even have optional side objectives. The suspense is also great.
I'm not even sure how to check hours but I'm currently leveling up my third toon. Still can't believe how awesome this game is, Glad I gave it a chance.
Anyone here got solid info on Prime Receivers and crafting ammo?
I've tried priming a weapon as I had heard some guns can't have the prime receiver removed at all.
Thinking about whether I should prime my Gat Plasma and TSE Gatling Gun. I know they need flux on top of the basic mats and that they buffed the amount you get but I've yet to see numbers on it.

Pipboy tells you how many hours the character has.
As for weapons with Ultracite rounds do you have the plans to make the ammo? Also very greedy stuff to use compared to say a auto Railway rifle with explosive perk that just uses steel to make ammo.
Is there a write up on the tadpole quest line with the best way to farm the mats needed to craft some of the requirements?
Are you going for the backpack? Hunter, Athlete and Archer can be done in a day.
First things first,it's not bug free and the frame rate on console can still be a bit icky,however content has been added often and events pop up all the time plus a new main story is being added in November centered around npc's with Raiders,settlers and other minor factions such as the Mothman cult,how you play will have an impact on whatever faction you side with so going forwards the future is bright.
Right now we have a time limited event called meat week and a community challenge to kill 8mil Scorched within a time frame to gain access to some free Atom store bits and a 50% off Legendary vendor sale.
The community seems to be growing from month to month and I know the servers I'm on are always full.
Anybody think there's a chance they will add something to Events that will take into account how many people show up adjust the difficulty or maybe just the amount of enemies that spawn?
There also need to be more events like meat week added that's aren't as tough to beat as Queen/Imposter/Aktos.
Cause having 10+ people show up at AWOL/Uranium/Free Range is fun until everybody tries to one shot the legendary and over 3/4 of the people just stand around angry they missed out on any loot.

I know they are adjusting the server wide notification system for events but not heard anything for the amount of players attending.
One shotting happens a lot at the Sons of Dain event which is annoying.
Had a Halloween event mentioned to me so if true that's a new one.
We managed to kill 36.5mil Scorched in two weeks so the 50% off legendary vender event starts on Thursday.
Has anyone here completed the vault? Is the loot worth it?
And what is the easiest build to make. I got a character at 152 but just put points in whatever and just wear whatever armor. Thinking of making another character that's kinda focused on something.

Wastelanders delayed to early next year. Private servers coming, with the ability to mod the private server content.
Yes three times, if you do it enough you will end up with a full set of normal and a full set of PA that is only available from the raid.
The raid stuff can not be sold.
As for build I wouldn't go for Bloodied due to risk of death if running the raid solo.
I first tried melee but used 40 stim packs and a few repair kits. Currently running all explosive shot weapons with Bear arms, Demolition and commando.
Expect to go through thousands of rounds and a decent amount of all healing stuff.

I'm ready to dive back into this. I had no reason to drop it last year and I'm disappointed I did as I've committed to each Fallout since 3 as soon as the title rolled.
that said, sounds like some nice changes so maybe my experience now will be better for it.

Sucks Wastelanders got delayed but I'm hoping it's for the best. Now let's see what they do to fill in the gap and keep players motivated.
That was a nice clear announcement of their intentions with atom shop junk. Although that would've been better before they released the convenience stuff that set off the screeching and whining about pay 2 win. Me personally am fine with them pushing the limits on convenience junk as long as nothing has come close to giving players an edge.
I say give more junk to spend atoms on, I bought the trailer, bot and all the plushies. Still sitting on 5k+ atoms earned just from daily/weekly challenges.

Agreed if the delay makes the content better I'm fine with it.
We have a Halloween event starting and I'm guessing loads of new stuff in the Atom store to grind for and that's before a Christmas event kicks in.
I know the current 50% of Legendaries has my vending machines to max capacity and there is always a queue at the vender so ot clearly worked.

im hoping we get new fasnatch masks.
anybody get any get love from the purveyor?
3k scrip not one Fixer or Handmade, like 5 god roll armor pieces.
Yeah Purveyor did OK for me, Anti armour Fixer with explosive shot,pipe pistol Bloodied explosive shot with anti armour and 90% weight reduction. Two Bloodied Deathclaw gauntlets with 90% weight reduction and crit vats bonus.
Also got a two shot Gat plasma with 90%weight reduction.
A out 3k Scrip spent so far.
Hard for me to not recommend the game because I play it more than any other game.
The game has great content being added frequently and the community on the whole is very friendly and yes you will meet other players but that's all part of it due to player vending ans server wide events.
Massive map and yes all the story can be done solo if you really want to not team up.
Thanks I hate it (My Review of the Fixer) Bought a Troubleshooters and took it for a nuke run. This thing misses so many point blank shots I end up using more ammo per Gutsy then my handmade. Making the extra dps useless, Almost seems bugged. Still glad I got that VE Fixer as it's a nice trade chip.
Also the doggos horde in cranberry bog was super kind. Loaded in too find 3x 3* doggos fighting scorched and super Mutants. Got a Quad Gamma FFR Gun [holy sheet] and a Uny Marine Sent/Powered [I cried] Piece and junk.

Does anyone know the details of the private server? I wasnt interested at first but if I can craft anything anywhere...
From the PSStore page it looks like private servers are limited to 8 total players.
"Private Worlds: Play in a Private World exclusively for you and up to seven friends."
This is really shitty though. Like you should really be able to play with 3 other friends in a private game for free.
It requires dedicated hardware to host the private server. It's not a bad value, especially given everything else you get.
If it's the stock game I'm not interested. If it opens up the game to modding or removing crafting limitations I might be interested.
I mean the game world is loaded on your machine, I don't see why they couldn't have done p2p for hell, even just two players, for free other than greed.
OK so £8 a month for private server, remote camp, unlimited junk stash, emotes, icons and 1650 Atoms per month.
If you are the type of person that buys 1000 Atoms a month or wants the massive build budget that Workshop's offer then yeah OK.
For me this however is a low blow on a full price retail game. EA style!

I mean that's one way to get a stable server for a Raid and loot a nuke run in peace. The only down side is lower levels/players not equipped for nuke runs will now miss out if groups start nuking on private servers exclusively. Nukes on white springs are going to dry up a bit.
Doesn't seem like a bad deal with more pay for convenience thrown in for good measure. Kinda wish they at least added a free way to move stuff between toons as a compromise for those not willing to pay for unlimited junk space.

I don't care personally for private servers, but yeah that thread is bonkers. FO76 will always be fun to dunk on for people. Like you are getting dedicated server access with the fee.
They should just cut the atoms rewarded and drop the monthly price.
FO76 sub is a nuke zone lol
