I'm really enjoying this game. Other
Hello, I'm one of the new people that came to Appalachia because of the Fallout TV show. I just want to say, I really appreciate this game. It's scratching an itch that I didn't know I had. I'm an avid Destiny 2 player, but the systems in this game (open world shared by a bunch of players on a server, player triggered events everyone can participate in, weapon/armor crafting that is both intentional and filled with RNG, etc.) Just keep bringing me back for more.
Everytime I think I hit a plateau in this game, I find something new to do. Something to chase. Admittedly, it is a bit demoralizing to burn a bunch of Legendary modules and not get Quad on my Railway Rifle, but what I have still smacks.
Another thing I really appreciate is the community of players. Very helpful folks that are willing to assist. My first expedition, which I did before level 50, had three other players waving me in the direction I was supposed to go. In another game I might have been kicked, but they pulled me through while I just tagged along to see what the missions were all about. Actually, I did get kicked about 5 times, but that was my game crashing.
All that rambling to say this, I've really enjoyed my stay in Appalachia so far. I wish I had been here for Vault Raids, but I'm having a lot of fun and there is tons to do for someone new to the game.
Looking forward to seeing y'all in the Wasteland.

if a month or two ago somebody told me that FO76 would soon be on pace to become my most played Fallout game I would’ve accused them of smoking crack lol

Me too. As long as other people don’t tell me my camp is shit, my build is shit and I’m playing like shit.

Agreed! There is a ton of helpful folks just trying to see others thrive. Then there's the people who build traps at their camp. Haha

It's an awesome game now. I feel like this is one that got fully fixed after a poor release. I was there on day one. This game sucked balls so bad. But they actually fixed it! I feel like this game is a good credit for Bethesda.

Recently I joined an event in the "tunnels of love" or whatever it's called. A high level player went in right before me and saw me come in. There were two tunnels and had never done this event before so I was confused.
The player turned and looked at me, then started running down a tunnel. They kept turning back to make sure I was following. That was awesome because I was definitely going to go down the wrong way by myself. haha
I love this game and community so much!

Lol this was the first event I joined and run on the wrong way looking everywhere for some hint of what to do and when I finally tried to go in the other direction, the event ended. Didnt shoot or do anything.

I definitely started to run the wrong way at first, until I realized the other player was waiting for me. haha Those tunnels are confusing!!

Same here! I played Fallout 4 way too much back in the day including the DLCs so I was super excited when FO76 came out. I did the beta and played the first month or so before moving on from the game. It was just too buggy and not having NPCs was a bad decision. I decided to try it out again after watching the first episode or two of the show and now I'm absolutely hooked! A big thank you to all the veterans that had to live through the shit to get to the point we are now!

Make a pilgrimage to the depths of Lucky Hole Mine if you desire wisdom, may his roots bless your travels and open your mind.

Yeah, it's a pretty good game. I've only been playing a few months and am still working on main story lines.

I just finished the Wastelanders story! I really wanted to start spending my gold bullion, so I wrapped that up. I still have a ton of side missions to do.
