Current Events > Bethesda responds to Fallout 76 Beta Feedback.

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/9v0886/beta_thankyou_and_addressing_your_feedback/

Ultra-Wide Support: We will support 21:9 post launch. Once available, or shortly before, well be sure to post our patch notes that let you know when to expect it.

Larger Stash Size: Weve seen this one come up a lot and understand the frustration. While the Stash size at 400 weight limit can get easier to deal with over time, we do plan on increasing it in the future.

Push-to-Talk: While we aim to create a consistent experience no matter what platform youre on, we understand that some of you on PC would like the option for Push-to-Talk. Our goal with voice chat being on by default is to highlight that the world is alive with real people, other players like you. We like to start with encouraging player interaction and will look into adding this in the future.

FOV Slider: We havent supported FOV sliders in our previous games as it is known to break a lot of animations and causes a lot of clipping to occur onscreen. You do have the option to zoom out in third person on PC by holding View and moving the mousewheel, but we wont be able to have it for first person view.

A few points from their post. How out of touch are they? Holy shit.

Teaching Blizzard how it's done
---

Bethesda: multiplayer is a new concept, nobody has done anything like this before.
---

bethesda is trash more news at 11

translation: "we don't care, also buy skyrim again"
---

watch someone make a FOV slider mod that works without an issue day 1.
---

Bethesda just wants your money for as little work as possible.

From what ive read you can mod content on the fly and give yourself unlimited ammo and resources and whatever you want.

They can push to talk to deez nuts.

"Buy our game now and we promise we'll fix it later. Don't worry about those things in our other games that never, ever got addressed, you can't totally trust us, but even if you couldn't the code is locked to our launcher so we have your money"

also worth mentioning in the beta that the game speed is tied to the (locked) frame rate, so all you have to do is alter the config file and you've activated your very own speed hacks lol
---

Did Activision buy them too or what?
---

Who is still buying this day one? You must be into S&M if you are >_>

I find it interesting that everyone online is whining about this but everyone I know in person loved the beta

It's like it was specifically designed to wind up the internet
---

i'm just hoping this is the final push for people realizing just how shit a developer bethesda is

just disappointed it took this long.

I didn't play the beta. Are they saying that there's no option to turn off Push-to-Talk and there won't be such an option? I'm sure that won't be abused.

Right now it defaults to on. The moment you start a new game your mic is 100% live to anyone around you, even during character creation. The only options are On, Team and all voice completely off.
---

Also did they address the concern that it's supposedly really, really easy to mod and hack the game?
---

So people are saying it's bad and a piece of shit and their solution is push to talk.

Oh those seem like good options though?

The world is cool as usual in a Bethesda game but the story isn't very engaging and so far the "No Human NPC" thing is holding true, haven't met a single one.

It honestly feels like a giant Fallout 4 mod with hacky multiplayer tacked on. Most of the assets are straight out of Fallout 4. Textures, models, sound effects, some music, weapons, armor, items.

The new "Scorched" enemies are literally FO4 Raiders reskinned to look like ghouls with green crystal things protruding from their bodies. They even behave like Raiders in combat.

if you've ever been in a vent server, discord and teamspeak where people don't use push to talk generally its just a giant mess of computer fans bleeding in from the background, mice and keyboard clicks, people breathing and just general bullshit and the like....some people need push to talk for the courtesy of others.....if its not implemented then i'd have to block everyone with crappy mics that are in environments where they cant control them

Oh wait shit I totally misread everything for some reason. Originally I understood it as "there's no way to turn off voice communications period", but didn't associate it with a lack of push-to-talk because that just sounds like a really dumb oversight...

So the scorched enemies are just the enemies from Metal Gear Survive.

I really hope this doesn't sell well. 2018 has been an overall terrible year for video games.

Actually that's a perfect comparison.

I just read the post, the other points are literally minor bugs that literally no other company would have ever even mentioned in a community outreach post addressing beta feedback - any other company would have just fixed the problem before the game launched. Bethesda actually thinks it's impressive because it's fixing a glitch with a sound file randomly playing and a glitch with a simple game mechanic not working right...

case and point

I did not play the beta. I just watched several reviews and some let's play type vids. Everybody seems to hate it or is disappointed, at best. Since I don't have first-hand experience, all I will say is that I'm very wary about paying full price for this game. I think I will wait for everything to sort itself out.
