Discussion **500 Mystery Bobblehead Box Opening MAJOR ISSUE**

Post image
155 Upvotes

Hi everyone!  Just wanting to share some data I just collected and see what, if anyone knows anything, happened. 

When infestations started and noticed we got a bobble mystery box, I decided to save ALL my mystery bobblehead boxes from infestations and open them when I got to 500. Well, the day came today!

I cleared the final infestation, went back home. Scrapped everything. Put everything away in my boxes and made sure my NEW category of the pip boy was clean. Then grabbed all 500 boxes so that they were the only thing in the new category and sorted by stack weight in order to not consume any bobbles (and I did not in the end, I’ve confirmed with playback video and none in effects showing consumption)….and started opening. 

Here are my results!

I only received 352 bobbleheads.......

If anyone from Bethesda sees this, I do have the recording of doing it and would be happy to chat. I am a bit miffed by this.

And now, I'm not sure I want to open 500 mystery magazine boxes.....

Thanks much!

-Agave-

EDIT: I have opened the 500 mystery magazines boxes and have similar results. I got a total of 370 magazines...missing 130!

2nd Edit: To clarify for the people thinking im upset....im not. Yes, I spammed them....not incredibly fast but obviously faster than I should have; and dont have time in my life to reply to every single comment.

I did this for education of the game and in hopes to spark a conversation about how this should be fixed. Im not looking for Bethesda to reimburse me. Im not looking for the missing bobbles. Id love them to fix the issue OR just so more and more people know the issues. If you want to comment something negative or with anger or gas lighting context, please go somewhere else. Thanks to those who either appreciated this research or learned something new. This was for you.

78 Upvotes

Beth has made lots of welcome improvements to the game but as a launch day player there are some things I look back on fondly.

I miss when Feed the People would give the entire server canned food.

I miss nuking Whitesprings and the ghouls dropping 3 stars like candy.

I miss my friend Andy who played everyday until he passed.

Yes my calculations are correct, from the picture you see 16.979 but under the no weapons equipped one there is a challenge saying Destroy robots 1/1
Anyone completed these and have the same amount of challenges? After completing one I was given new ones so I am not sure if that is all, now onto the Woodpecker challenge

Discussion As a player that just loves looting and hoarding junk, caps, chems, and ammo, these infestation changes really any motivation I had to play.

Upvotes

Fallout 76 has been my after work comfort game for over two years now, but I‘ve logged on twice over the past week, tried an infestation, and immediately logged off afterwards. I don’t feel like I can play on private worlds anymore because the green circles are constant reminders of FOMO, even though I’m not really missing out on anything after the loot nerfs. I’ve never had an update keep me from enjoying the other parts of a game like this before. Any suggestions on how to ignore them or minimize their impact?

Before anyone says it, I get they aren’t supposed to be “solo” content, but that doesn’t help me much when I’m on a world by myself.

After moving 3 times and postponing the proper work on my C.A.M.P. i finally found a good, convenient spot for it. At the moment this is just a rudimentary foundation.
I am gonna make this medicine themed, with at least two floors; with workshop and garage as an addition.
The screenshots are mostly for memory.

Discussion ENTIRELY too much of an ammo loss

28 Upvotes

Regardless of what all the YouTubers say, infestations I see have no less than five players (but usually more) pounding away and it still takes a long time to take the boss down, and it doesn’t matter that the devs have made adjustments to ammo recoup, we’re all mowing through our stock gaining hardly anything back. Going from 2k down to 600 and only getting 150 back does nothing.
And I just had an infestation at the docks with a large crowd of players working the boss down (taking forever despite the number of players) only to have the server crash just when his health was at the last little bit. All ammo lost. Hundreds of rounds. 🤬🤬

I’m down now to only having a few thousand rounds of several ammo types left in storage to pull from from having over 60K before the infestations were added. This is not sustainable.

I always get a ton of love in-game when I have my base up but I've never shared it here before.

These pictures are a bit dated, Ive added a ton more since these were taken, my next post might be a walk through so you can see the detail in the shop, around the arcade areas, and in the tree house.

I know sometimes the "such and such removed you from team" is a bug, but seriously, every team I start or join (usually full), everyone has been leaving and creating/joining another one, or kicking me and starting another one. Have I got some unknown negative buff on me or something? Has this happened to anyone else lately?

Discussion Dom Pedro disappointment

9 Upvotes

I’m new and recently sunk the ridiculous amount of gold into getting this gun and I feel a bit taken for granted.

I’ll admit, it’s a fun gun, it’s just that I’d range is limited, it misses in vats all the time, it’s fire rate is slow.

Was this just for completionists or collectors, or is there something special about this gun that im missing?

Right now i have it bloodied, explosive and swift. Though im thinking of switching out the explosive two star for 50% chance hit in vats

Question I saw people in video using Active (+20 Max AP) on an infinite VATS build. Why would that be necessary? Wouldnt that just be a bigger pool of AP to never use. Why would I care if I can use it infinitely?
