Who is stoked, and who wants to play with me?! I'm fun :3 Can we? Tod presentation was odd - he was saying we will never see the server so how on the heck do you match up with people?
lazaurus Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Sorry to say, I don't know of any game studio yet that has gone online only, ESO, MMO style game, that has gone away from it. I guess "I'm getting too old for this sh-t". Maybe it's time . . .

That's right he did say that but he also said you could play with friends if you want, also that your world would overlap with others... He said 12 people. Also you could play it single player...Still no mention of mods for any title.
tlrd Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Assuming you can play COMPLETELY solo/Offline and there is mod support or acknowledgment that only this but NOT future titles will not have mod support i'm hyped as fuck(for the former) till i know that...back to other things i supposed.
GrimReaper Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 It's not an MMORPG like Elder Scrolls Online, it's a multiplayer online survival crafting thing like Rust or DayZ but with a heavy emphasis on PvE, unlike those two mentioned earlier. Most games of this type suffer from a lack of meaningful PvE content so most players simply kill each other all the time. I'm pretty interested to see how this turns out especially because you won't lose your progress when you die which will discourage mindless griefing. No free modding because this game will probably have some sort of megaserver structure and no server selection, you'll probably simply pick your general region like EU or US and get thrown into the game. You might dislike the fact that this game won't feature modding, but consider the fact that the modding scene for Fallout 4 is still far away from the standard we have in Skyrim. Splitting the much smaller modding community for the Fallout series between two games would probably slow down things even further.
Gameplayer Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 It sure would split the community again, it worked with Fo3 to FNV cause the engine was the same.

And the mods, yes, is Besheba silly enough to try and forcefully Disneyfying because you know otherwise Fallout76 going to be nothing but non stop player on player capture and rape fantasies.
panthercom Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 I'm actually more interested because it takes place in West Virginia, since I've lived there and visit frequently. I have no interest in multi-player; I'm getting old and my reflexes are slow. Exploring might be entertaining, but I have no enthusiasm for it as a 'Fallout' title, and if I want to build things I'll open my toolbox or buy some Legos.

QuietPippin Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 If there are no external mods i'm passing on the game

Halstrom Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 As usual, the people who don't pass on the game won't be as upset about those passing on it as those passing on it are upset by people not passing on it... Seeing it is a MMO, I hope its a good one. Surely there can better than the current ones about.
Kargrin Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Also their beta is locked behind the collectors edition (dem sweet $200 )
Guest Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 at least I'm glad they didn't said that fallout 76 is fallout 5. Still got time.

I really dont care to read the lines. My third thing was being able to play as a girl. But they showed people playing as a girl.

AngelPhoenix69 Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 I an mmo player, from the days of Star Wars Galaxies to Secret World Legends. And while I have my three things that 76 needs to have. There is one more, no forced pvp. I dont like nor do a lot of my friends. I dont want to be searching a house minding my own business have someone gank my ass.

Well that and the fact they want to control the mods. See how Bethesda screws the modding community! Take into consideration this is a spinoff, not a mainline fallout title. This isn't taking the place of Fallout 5 for example. At this point it's waaaaaaaaay too early to even begin to panic. Wait until after the B.E.T.A. is running and people see how the gameplay is. Trailers rarely ever show the actual gameplay at E3.

It could potentially be interesting, but the die hards don't want a game where we're ganked while just trying to enjoy the fucking game. There's nothing fun about that. The nukes really do have me worried beyond belief. I mean the people I play with enjoy fallout games for single player, but this game has us highly intrigued due to the online gameplay and the nukes. I think we're planning on hunting griefers since we all also enjoy pvp aspects having played Rust, Hurtworld, and Ark. I just hope they get a solution that permits the full modding capability that we're used to seeing from a bethesda game otherwise many bugs will remain unfixed.
prinyo Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 It has been a sad E3 for me so far. Bioware is dead, Bethesda is dead, CDPR is working on a futuristic GTA. I guess I'm really old.
hafertaler Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Not my cup of tea. I hope people have fun with it, but it seems to me, that if focuses on the aspects of FO4 I wasn't even remotely fond of (basebuilding...), so I will sit this one out. And "choices matter" in an online/mmo game is pretty much not possible. Anyone who has ever played Star WOW (also known as SWTOR) can tell you the story of being severely disappointed with that aspect. In regards to modding: maybe exchange of some assets will be possible (it is still the same engine judging by the footage and Bethesdas obsession to cling on to ancient engines), but quests and stuff like that will be out of the question I guess. And for the far off future (3 years? 4 if you're lucky...): Damn, they shut down the servers...
