Fallout 76 - [PC/XB1/PS4] - November 14, 2018

[Anoat]

RUMOR: FO76 May be going F2P very soon after EB Games in Australia received a distributor order to pull all new copies of the game off shelves.

I'd give it a shot for free

I'd give it a shot for free

Yeah, I might poke the f2p if the implementation isn't terribad, just to have given it a shot, even if I'm not a believer. will probably see a significant XIV lull towards the end of 4.x that I don't care to fill with anything I might actually spend a lot of time on.

This game must go thru Bethesda's launcher correct? Not that it's a huge deal but yet another launcher to install!

Bethesda says nope to F2P

[Rulke]

Give it another 10 months. 1 year post launch is pretty much standard minimum before F2P models kick in.

European retailers have so many unsold copies of the game that they're being bundled with used controllers (Gamestop) & Fallout 76 editions of XBox One X (Saturn - You get 2 copies). The price has also been dropped to €30 or $35.

2019 Road Map

Spoiler: show

We’ve just passed 100 days since the launch of Fallout 76!

There’s nothing like the start of something new - for you and for us, and having millions of you join us on this new adventure is humbling for our studio. Thank you for sticking with us as we figure this online experience out together, and we do mean “together.”

Thanks to your continuous feedback, we have been able to fix many of the top issues and have made numerous improvements to the game. We also make scores of changes under the hood that aren’t as visible. These include changes to improve performance, detect new exploits, and make the experience smoother for everyone. There’s still work to do, but we’re happy to report that game and server stability has increased over 300% since launch. We’re thrilled by how much everyone is playing, with an average time of 4 hours a day.

However, we know the game had a difficult launch, and we’ve made mistakes along the way. We share in your frustrations when we do. We’ll probably make a few more, and when we do, we will work to correct them as quickly as possible. Know that we’re fully dedicated to making this game the best it can be - and even more so, a platform for endless Fallout adventures for years to come.

To that end, we’re excited to announce some of the new free content we’ve been working on for Fallout 76 in 2019.

Thanks again for sticking with us. It’s a privilege to have such passionate and caring fans. We have big plans for 2019 and we’d love to hear your continued feedback on everything we’re doing. We hope you’ll keep sharing your thoughts with us on the forums, Reddit, in videos, and streams. Your voices push us to do better and your support has meant everything to us. We’ll do our best to earn it.

NO.

[Prothescar]

I find myself unimpressed and unenthused


Sekiro needs to hurry and come out

[6souls]

Everyone banned for having too much ammo has been unbanned with their accounts being fully restored and no missing items.

[6souls]

Having too many friends on your friendlist causes the game to stutter/hitch for up to a couple seconds every few seconds. This doesn't affect the average user, but for anyone streaming, just getting a multitude of friend requests is enough to cause the problem.
