cjsdowg 10/25/19 1:53:44 AM #1:	The launch of Fallout 76s premium subscription, Fallout 1st, could not be going worse. As the games most committed players grapple with the audacity of an in-game purchase that costs more than many major over-the-top TV subscriptions, now comes a flood of user complaints that the most desirable content it delivers is broken. (After publication, a Bethesda representative addressed the three biggest complaints in a statement issued to Polygon below.) First, the ostensible reason to fork over money in the first place long-requested private servers doesnt seem to deliver what it promises. Players say the privacy afforded has some loopholes, such as the inability to restrict access beyond ones friends list. That means players with very large lists of friends in the game those role-playing as merchants are a good example cant go completely invisible and make their world invitation only. Anyone in their friends list may see it and join. Secondly, the claim that private servers deliver a newly created world is also questionable. Some players have anecdotally described finding dead NPCs and looted areas, which implies that these are recycled instances now sold as brand-new worlds. The most pernicious bug, however, involves the Scrap Box an unlimited capacity storage space where players can dump their broken-down junk. Several players have said they have lost everything. One reported bug seems to involve using the Scrap Box in another players world, and then finding the deposit has vanished both there and in the players own private world. At any rate, scrap boxes may be best avoided until this issue is acknowledged and cleared up. The player in this instance says theyve submitted a support ticket about this problem and heard back from Bethesda, though they have no hope that they can recover their resources. https://www.polygon.com/fallout/2019/10/24/20930729/fallout-1st-private-servers-glitches-bugs-problems-scrap-box-pc-ps4-xbox-one ---- I wouldn't blame people who got messed over when they bought 76. A company that people trusted said it would be all this good stuff and then they were baited and switched (or some con). But this one here I have the blame the people who bought it. They have been lying and messing over the fan base over and over, from freaking plastic bags to selling Fallout 4 online as new game. There shouldn't have been anyone to buy this. --- Bender: Well, everybody, I just saved a turtle. What have you done with your lives? <cite>cjsdowg posted [p:929211120] in Fallout 76...
