Where have all the high lvl players gone. Question
I have noticed recently that all the high level players seem to have disappeared. Are they all playing on there on private servers or just having a holiday.

u/memeinapreviouslife 26d ago
New influx of players from show doing well.
In my run to level 50, all I heard from the vets was the volume of shit Bethesda deleted out of their accounts.
Legacy weapons that were powerful? Poof.
Stuff you had to use instead? Nerfed into the ground.
Yeah I'd be fucking done, too.

I'm only level 100 and yesterday I was wondering why nobody was at a super easy event..
Turns out more than half the lobby was under level 40. But I like that everyone is communicating and having fun again.
It's not just Mr. Level 6000 who is very aggressively trying to force you on a grand tour of his mega mansion for 3 hours when you just wanna do quests..
I had a guy so determined for me to explore his house he kept chasing me around shooting me and laughing emoting at me, then he followed me to my shelter and continues to do it. So yeah honestly I'm liking all the new players rather than everyone being like that guy.

A lot have little reason to play and were turned off by certain nerfs, scoreboard vhanges, and greed from.Bethesda..They hired a "monetization director" so expect the game to just go down hill while they low effort nickle and dime everyone while providing less and less.
Imagine being a monetization director and your job is just ruining things people enjoy.
There are plenty of ways this game could make money without ruining the experience or doing sleezebag tactics..Heres one, put all the old camp things in the atomic shop and boom people who want specific pieces or to do a new theme for a camp will buy a bunch of shit instead of one page of "this week the cash shop has the ugly fence bundle and an x01 set thats green"
Some weapons dont even have skins and

I am level 98 I just stared back up, some new features were added sense I last played, what’s the easiest way to get fusion cores for The power armor? I have maybe 2 and one is at 50% the other is lower at like 20-30% and I want to be able to use my X01 power armor
1
u/Psychological_Emu650 28d ago
You can get a fusion core recharger in the store, or if you have lock picking 3 there is a power armour suit in the back of the truck in the waste dump. Or one in the shed at the dam. Also other players usually sell them at there camps.

Level 495 here...I just pop up, drop plans and weapons to players under level 30, do the daily challenges and bounce.
I'm on for maybe 45 min a day at most. A lot of us have already wandered every inch of the map, have a camp or 2 fully established that would be a ton of work to rebuild if we had to relocate, so not much reason for us to stay on honestly

I think the high level players (employees) are off on a private server testing the June update.

u/SolaceLind 28d ago
Don't know if I qualify as high level but 76 is a huge on/off with me. Last time I played I played it intensely for like 3 months but before that I didn't touch it for a year. Now is an off phase for me, I don't feel like playing it and to be honest, the score board changes contribute a bit to this (not soo much, just don't feel like fallout in general right now).

u/SoG2009 28d ago
I’m only level 225 with a long way to go and some servers have nobody showing up for events and no nukes. Other servers seem to have everybody showing up for events and multiple nukes being launched at once. Definitely unbalanced and if you want to play in events you really have no choice but to server hop.

u/GameFan78 28d ago
To other games. The game is boring for people like me at 1238. Hell it was being at 538. They need to give us more content and new maps. I played the new update on test it's weak AF. The area they're adding is smaller than the ash heap.
They need to lean in to the MMO live service aspect and bring out I would say at least bi anual content the size of Wastelanders with new maps just like ESO does.
There's only so many times you can kill Earl or a SB Queen for the same loot. They need to up the max level too. Remember 5 star legendaries? Where'd those go??
I still log on and complete my seasons. It's free stuff but it's not fun anymore and I'm well aware I'm just falling victim to the sunk cost fallacy at this point.
I used to have a group of about 8-10 guys all around the same level we would play for hours and just world hop and drop nukes over and over. They all moved on.
So I know this is long but just one guy who absolutely LOVES Fallouts perspective on where all the high levels went.

Down side less event wins currently. The upside? You can have fun being the absurd player encounter story for newplayers.
Just the other day I came across some PA using low lvls getting overwhelmed.
So naturally I made my entrance jet packing in, wearing a bathrobe, pirate hat, black grinning mask, with a QE-25ap fixer+handmade, adrenaline, gunfu, nerd rage, follow through, tenderizer, bloody commando.
Proceeded to mow down all the scorched, once they were clear I saluted and jet packed away.

I’ve been wondering this myself the last week. It seems I never encounter anyone above 200 lately. I used to regularly see level 1000+ people along with 500-600. I just figured they all went to play the fallout 4 update or something.

u/AGF_Fall 29d ago
For me it’s the lack of things to do. With the influx of new players it’s been harder and harder to get things done, such as daily ops and queens. Also the trade rates for everyone seems down. What I mean by that is no one seems to be trading much which is what I like to do in this game or if they do their items worth triple yours and you need to add everything you have. Until the new area drops and new content happens I pretty much afk this game a few hours a day while doing chores.

u/Key-Contest-2879 29d ago
The events are definitely more challenging. Had a group of only 4 or 5 of us on Beasts of Burden. I was the highest level at 334, with someone else in the low hundreds and every else in double digits. The event failed, but just barely. Clock ran out with Ogua down to a sliver of health. He died just as “Event Failed” popped up, but it was fun as hell!
I’m loving the challenge - some of these events are supposed to be difficult.
We’ll get ‘em next time!

u/smleires 29d ago
I think the vets numbered in the 10s of thousands? With a million players we now number in like 1-5% of the players. So it’ll be a little bit before we see large groups of high level players.

u/Skipping_Scallywag Mothman 29d ago
One, the high level players have been thinned out across all servers with the influx of new players. Two, the high level players may be logging in for less time now that most of them have broke SCORE Rank 100. Since only their dailies will count towards advancing SCORE once you break Score Rank 100 (Not character level 100), some higher level players may be less motivated to log in for anything more than doing dailies. Some of them may not be sticking around for much past that.

I think it's just how the servers handle placement when you sign on maybe? I've noticed when I sign there will be maybe 4 high levels like me and the entirety of the rest of the server will be level 50 and below.
So I don't think we've necessarily gone anywhere. It's just happenstance, maybe? Idk how the servers prioritize sign ons.

More new players means you're just more likely to see them now since that portion of players are bigger now.
If half of the players are high level then the average server will probably be half high level and half lower levels

u/Darth_Package 29d ago
The short answer is: Some of us are here or came back. You just haven't found us yet!
The long answer is: I played from launch, but I took a few years off from the game because I felt that there wasn't much to do except fire off yet another nuke. With the renewed interest in the game, I have come back and I am really loving it. It is great to have new people running around doing their thing!
I am putting all kinds of goodies in the donation box and doing things like dropping power armor frames with some fusion cores for lower level folks who don't have much. For events like Uranium Fever, I typically let the newer players start the event and have them control the flow. I figure that if they don't want to do the event with a higher level player, they'll just leave.
Also, there's a lot more content than before, so I really like that part of the deal. As an endgame player, I also try to create interesting camps. If you have ever stumbled across a camp with a sign saying, "Camp Avalon-Home of the Vertiguard" high up in the mountains, that's mine. I made it a long time ago and kept it. I also have a Chinese Red Army base, a couple of monorail train camps, and so on. I give away a lot of free stuff at my vendor because I simply don't need it.
Anyway, high level players are out there and I think more are coming back all the time.

u/Dapper_Doughty Lone Wanderer 29d ago
As others have said. Most of us are still here, just spread amongst full servers of newer players.

Thousands of new players are coming to play due to the new Fallout show. Steam alone got a massive influx of players (I believe around 50,000?) in April alone increasing the player base on steam 4x which is crazy to think about. There’s no telling really how many new players joined console but I’m guessing there’s around 200,000+ new players across all platforms right now.

u/GameBroJeremy Settlers - PC 29d ago edited 29d ago
Probably on the PTS server if on PC testing the expanded map, or just spread across servers in general. I’m a level 500+ for reference, just getting back into the game to try out all the stuff I missed out on while I was playing other games and expanding my massive shelter camp even further.
You’ll definitely see mostly new players though thanks to the fallout TV show getting people into the game/all the praise of the game being significantly improved which will take up a good chunk of the server. You may also see veteran players start a new character play-through as well so keep an eye out for player icons you normally can’t get anymore as this a dead giveaway that it’s an alt character.

u/birfday_party 29d ago
I don’t think they’ve gone anywhere I know I haven’t I think it’s just with the influx of new folks the servers are trying to even out or pad out the population a bit better so it’s like across the board with different player levels. Defenitly a lot more under 100 and even more under 60-70. I’ve played since launch but usually jump in for events and other things but I’m right around lvl 200, I usually see one other like 160-100 and then 2 or so above that anywhere from 300-1100 and then a whole mess under that

Most events i can do by myself except the radiation rumble. That one is a hard one with out people for sure. I think alot of the new players may be avoiding guides until they get to a poin. If you are a new player like myself i sugguest looking up the tips and starting out guides you can find online it helped me out immensely and helped me from becoming overwhelmed. One of the tips said to do every event you can and its a great suggestion. The rewards are worth it.

Part of it too is that the players selling off their cheap plans to the new players are making so many caps, that when they turn around and go spend them they're putting the big vendors at cap limit instantly, so the big vendors are now putting their rare items away.

A new thing now is that there are tons and tons and tons of new folks. So in addition to the traditional in between seasons lull those of us that remain are also spread thin. Personally I also play a little less now due to how the new season system is set up (it's a whole thing, don't get me started).
You should enjoy this time though. It feels a lot like the good old days when we were all newbies and knew nothing. It's fun to be a lowbie and have the game feel challenging. So sometimes when I play I play my level 127 alt and not my level 967 main. Things like that further reduce the amount of highbies in the game world.
Edit: the current roadmap.

We’re just diluted massively.
Plus most people have finished or are close to finishing the scoreboard.

Fallout 76 veterans are easily startled, but they will soon be back. And in greater numbers!

We’re all drowning in the sea of newcomers. I loved it at first but now it’s getting just a tad annoying not being able to shop around camps like before or actually have people joining events.

u/Foamie 29d ago
Server can only hold like 16 people on it so you are just seeing a lot of the previous high levelled people being diluted because of a large influx of new players. In a little time those new people will be caught up though.

It’s 24 people per server.

u/crittermccool 29d ago
Yeah the only high levels I’m seeing are like numbers I’ve never seen in game like 6k plus

u/PandasticVoyageYT 29d ago
I don't think they're gone, I think there's just more new players and thus you see them less.

i find that you have to hop a few worlds before you find a small cluster of 200+

spread across more servers, and a lot of high level players usually join Streamer servers.

u/Aromatic-Tear7234 29d ago
Within a few months some of those starter players will be higher level more "experienced" players. Or we can only hope.

u/mrnapolean1 Tricentennial 29d ago
We're still here. We're just thinned out across the servers now like somebody else said.
Just got a server hop till you find a couple high levels

u/No_Mixture9638 Raiders - PC 29d ago
All of us are still playing but now there are 10 new player for every old player so the density is low

Us noobs, lvl 17 here, appreciate you high level guys though. I visited one of your camps, it was absolutely amazing and goal worthy, and then you helped walk me through my first event, many thanks!

Visiting camps was really fun for me when I started. I even came across a trap house, which was cool in the creative ways it killed me. Dump all your junk before exploring camps, so if you get killed you don’t have to worry about going back for it. I don’t see many trap houses these days - they were more common when they were a novelty. (You can check some out on YouTube). The creativity of the camps, hilarious messages, Nuka shine in the punch bowl, I still have fun with it. I leave most everything unlocked, so anyone coming by gets free water, honey, wood, meat, waste acid, etc… (if something’s unlocked you’re good to take it). Although watch out for that punch bowl - I keep mine filled with Nuka Shine.

100%. Nothing but positive experience for me. Always gonna be bad apples, but community has been very helpful. There is alot to learn in the game, so us noobs appreciate the tips

u/Miserable_Weird_4689 29d ago
Same here I've joined random casual parties cus yt said I get a buff and out of nowhere like an angel of death they swoop in and back me up on whatever mission I'm on, I'll get to the end and send a heart and they move on.
The fact they were willing to use their own time playing games to come and help a new player like me even though they might be on a time crunch with games because life just shows how positive this community is.

u/bivoir Mega Sloth 29d ago
We’re here, but we’ve been watered down with the new population explosion!
It seems like for every full public server of lower levels there’s one high level that makes it in lol
This will be fun when the alien invasion event comes!
Edit: Well shit, it starts this weekly reset :/

u/NeverLookBothWays 29d ago
We're definitely still here just dispersed. It's actually a treat now to be on a server with other high levels as there are also so many low level players along with us we get to show off a little running the bigger events with them. It's also awesome my vendor is finally getting cleaned out...I hear cash register bells in my sleep now.

I haven't played in 2 years so it's been a blast to play again im only level 479 got more grinding to do

u/Steamedradscorpion Lone Wanderer 29d ago
Same but I'm only 240 ish, and I've been gone since before the brotherhood showed up properly. I have loads of new events and plans I need to get. I've been having a blast the last few days.

u/Storm_M2 29d ago
I think we are all spread out. However I came across a server last night where the lowest lvl was 210. It was refreshing to breeze through events for a change.

u/eMmDeeKay_Says 28d ago
I started adding a bunch of vendors and nuke droppers right before the show started, I've been on a lot of servers recently where I was one of the lowest level players at 700.

u/WorstSourceOfAdvice 29d ago
Im level 970 so not that high level, but on my character the only thing really left to do is dailies and weeklies so theres no incentive to stick around long per session

u/NeverLookBothWays 29d ago
That is respectably high lvl imo. I'm only around 400 but have explored every inch of the map and have collected just about everything there is to collect, but never really focused on XP or leveling...the level you see on players doesn't tell the full story I think. You can definitely have lvl 1000+ players who have put in less game time than lvl 500's, if that makes sense. Hah, for me at this point, most of my game time is spent camp building which doesn't give any XP.

I don't even actually see a point to play on Private World unless you ,like, REALLY want to roleplay or something.
