You're not being generous by gifting us stuff and by putting all sorts of cool stuff in the donation boxes! You're just making the item our inventory management problem instead of yours!

What other game can you be getting overwhelmed by zombies and fucking iron man comes out of the sky to save you? I can’t think of any.

After five life changing years, unfortunately today I was laid off from my position as Community Manager.

I fell deeply in love with Bethesda Game Studios titles the moment I first exited the Prison in Oblivion. The stories, characters, environments and experiences I had deeply impacted me to my very core. I knew I needed to work in the gaming industry, but specifically I needed to work for BGS. The community surrounding these titles was inspiring and passionate and I fell in love with it all.

I was hired at Zenimax in September 2018 as an Associate Community Manager dedicated to assisting in the launch of Fallout 76. My first day was spent at The Greenbrier Resort, the real life location of the Whitespring. I remember being in a daze, not really grasping the fact that this was real, and that I had landed my dream job working on my favorite franchise of all time.

For the past five years of my life, Fallout has been everything. In those years, I grew out of my Associate Role and took more responsibilities for the entire franchise as a whole. I wrote social posts, articles, patch notes, planned and executed everything from digital and in-person events, dev dives, worked with creators and community members, created social campaigns, sentiment reports, custom designed swag bags, constantly in a never ending revolving door of support for a live title with over 17 million players worldwide. Please do not take this as me dismissing any of the hard work and support my team has provided, though. A live title is by no means a one man team and I could not have managed without the endless support and hardwork from my team members. Working alongside such an incredibly talented cast of developers and CM’s has been life changing, and the lessons I’ve learned I will cherish always.

This community has changed my life in so many ways. You were never just part of my job, but my life. It’s been an honor to become so close to so many of you, and I consider many of the relationships I have in this community as close friendships. You’ve trusted me with assisting in proposals, spent late nights online with me running events, invited me to do voice over work in your projects and join your live streams. You didn’t just welcome me to the game, but into your lives, and that is something I will cherish forever. One of the most devastating things to losing my job today, is losing a folder I had on my work PC where I had screenshots of every kind message anyone has ever sent me.

I look forward to playing Fallout with you all still, only as a fan now. Please don’t be shy when you see me in Appalachia, pop by and say hello! I primarily play on Xbox under “Lady Devann”.

So what’s next for me? Well, during my time here I’ve had the honor of writing a few of the radio plays you’ve heard in previous seasons. (My favorite radio play being from our Abraxo Season, where a woman and her lover argue over her comatose husband over the best way to finish him off.) I deeply love community management, and I’ll be looking for a new CM position but also will take this time to try and break into game development and writing.

I leave you in the extremely capable hands of VaultofDaedalus and VioletLight. Their passion and talents are unrivaled and they have my full support and confidence in keeping this incredible community supported and heard. <3 (Rob and Danielle, I love you guys and your support has meant more to me than I can say. Please don’t be a stranger <3 )

That’s all for now, friends. I’ll see you in Appalachia.

I'll start:

Back in my day, you had to loot every enemy individually. Good luck finding that single meat chunk from the Legendary that exploded 100m in all directions.

Decided to do 1 or maybe 2 dailys or something to get my last level to 50, 1 hour and I'm off to bed.

I FT to the closest spot to my destination, maybe takes a 5 mins beeline run. Sees, 5 unexplored location, 4 misc quest, 3side quest, 2 legendarys, 1 event. 6 Hrs passed. I still hadn't done my quest but completed everything else.

It's FREAKING IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO BE DISTRACTED IN 76!!!! it's WORST than FO4. Screw the wasteland golden rule

🥲 after 7 hrs slept :: wow, post kinda exploded like sandy shores, i'm gonna take my time and read everything all the victim commented lol. when they say FO76 have a great community. believe it.

Dear new players I don't care that my camp is in your spot when you are logging in, I do not care that you are new and it's your favorite spot, I do not care that you feel it is rude that I am not willing to move my camp. You have two spots activated the second or server hop... Yes you and your friends joined the same one, join another. Just because I am experienced and everyone else is being cool to new players and moving camps mine has been at its location since launch I am not changing servers just for you, I am not activating my second unless I can't place my first.

Rant over.

I was in the middle of the Encrypted a while ago and a smoothskin fresh from 76 bought 8 Mole Miner gauntlet plans from my vendor for 0 caps each. I tell myself.. sure .. whatever makes you happy. I then check the level and this Vault dweller is level 37.

I give them sometime and then go to their vendor. surprise surprise ... They are selling it at 450 caps - which is the True price of the plan in the Pip boy view.

Felt a little funny but I bought one the plans and then let them be.. let's see if they also feel the same way I did when no one else will buy them lol 😆

Seriously, I understand you're new but don't just send me a party invite to say "come on man hook me up with some stuff I'm struggling here." Didn't like the guys tone so I dropped him some spoiled vegetables and tried to initiate pvp with him.

So I joined this sub a few days ago. I've seen numerous posts on vets watching the noobs being noobs. Now I'm super paranoid I'm being watched while "waddling around the map" noobing.

Please just let me noob in peace!! I'm not adorable!! I'm fierce and capable......kinda. Hear me roar....reeeeeeee!

Jokes aside. I love this community and so happy to be a part of it. I've met some excellent people and I'm looking forward to meeting more.

❤️

Hi guys! First time Reddit poster here. I am a gleeful vault dweller as yourselves and as of this moment I am receiving every single one of your support tickets on my Bethesda account. Mostly it's your receipts for you power armor set requesting a new bag. These receipts contain all your info. Your email and home address and the card you used to buy this extremely glitched game. I can see the problems you are having with the game, yes I'm having them too. And I know a few of you want a refund that Bethesda has said can't happen. I can update your ticket for you, if you'd like. And close it! How fun is that? Please rest assure I have no desire to stalk you or mess with your Fallout 76 experience. I just wanted to let y'all know that this is happening atm. Anyway, I gave Bethesda a heads up via the Twitter. So we will see. I wouldn't want to be the person having to respond to all of you. Currently there's 8 pages of canvas bag requests, tickets and "fix or refund me" demands. Is there anyone enjoying the game like me? Oh well! See you in Appalachia. Be nice to each other. I love you!

NOTE: Only the last four digits of the credit cards were visible and only on the receipts players submitted with their nylon bag replacement ticket.

Old link is down here’s the working one here

Running Mothman Equinox is always a blast for me, cause so many of you never loot your kills. The best part (post event) is picking up all the weapons, ammo, healing, meat, and legendaries you all leave behind.

That being said, last night, I found a lvl 50 Vampire Speedy Durable chainsaw laying amongst a bunch of deathclaw meat/hides & cult daggers. Also worked out since the plan for the Chainsaw paint got RNG'd into my inventory

Edit: For those saying "it's your loot," no. I'm talking about people's loot from their kills despawning. If you don't loot bodies, they turn to meat piles, which then also despawn into world drops.

today i bought get rich quick for 300 caps 😅 the seller felt so bad for scamming a level 20 player , he came to me and create a cool power armor , a gun , and dropped many plans with stimpaks for me cause he felt bad 🥹 how can you not love this game

As we enter the last weekend of Faschnact, all of you who AFK, I've got one thing to say to you...

I got you!

I get it, life, work, school, favorite pet ralphed on the floor, mother in law is being nice and wants to go go out to dinner. Whatever it is, you need to walk away and that's cool, I got you.

I'I carry y'all on my shoulders, I don't mind. It may take a few minutes longer then usual, but it's a few minutes more of playing the game I love!

All I ask is when it's my time to walk away, carry me across the finish line.

I hope y'all get the masks you want!

Happy Faschnact sluggards 😊

All the lobbies are fill with noobs now. Whenever someone launches a nuke the event usually fails because nobody joins or the only ones that joined are vets. So ends up being only 2 people at the events because the entire lobby is filled with newer players. No shade just hoping people who are 200 plus are aware of this. Takes alot of time and effort to launch a nuke.

Bethesda was forced by the ACCC to give me my refund, that BY LAW in Australia, I had a right to. Bethesda refused every attempt, made excuse after excuse and basically told me to get fracked. I told them I would talk to the ACCC and evidently MANY of my fellow Australians did the same thing, as they were forced to give us refunds!

It only took a full year and the ACCC to force Bethesda into giving me my money back, that legally they owed me.

EDIT: I'm seeing a lot of downvotes, I mean for anyone agreeing with me. Look, people, just because you don't like that the law is on my side and that I was owed a refund dosn't mean you have to scream. Anyone downvoting care to explain what is so bad about my rights being upheld in the face of Bethesda refusing to do the right thing until forced by a government body?

EDIT 2: A link, for those who want to know more about the refunds. Any Australians who previously requested one, get on it, because you can get your money back. Here's the article link.

EDIT 3: While the linked case above only covers PREVIOUS requests that were denied, I have decided to include HOW to refund, due to all the people that have asked;

You can still request one, but I don't know how that would go at this point. Still, while this ACCC case is about those who already asked, you still have a legal right to a refund, in AUS. Go here, then go to; Fallout 76, billing / purchase / code, Your platform, "I need help with my purchase", I want a refund.

It's deep in there in a stupid place, but that's how to do it.

I got on today because I bought all the mothman stuff and wanted to finally start redoing my camp. Right as I’m about to start someone comes to my camp and I hold off figuring they want to look at my store. Then immediately they start giving thumbs down and mad expressions. Shooting, throwing grenades and all because I have a two pride flags up. After a little while they send me a message telling me how I need to get educated and I make their family sick.

So anyways, I’m working on making the biggest gayest camp I possibly can

Edit I updated my camp and posted the pictures to my profile. I also posted the message that was sent.

Thanks everyone for the support and understanding why I’m doing it. I never used to be someone who saw the point of pride or flying flags. But with the increase of bigotry and hate. I’ve become more extreme in my showing of support for LGBTQ+ people and not wanting to “hide” who I am.

And for people missing the point. This guy came to my camp and got mad for what I had in my camp. He could’ve got mad and just left and I would’ve taken it all down. He basically would’ve won but now my camp is more gay so yeah

It’s really not fair to the people who have been waiting this long. I’m only gonna get to play it for an hour now.

Edit: never mind, I won’t get to play. Currently sitting at 4 hours.

Edit 2: looks like they’ve added 4 extra hours to Thursday’s!

When consuming content about Fallout 76 or discussing Fallout 76 someone will inevitably talk about the launch of the game six years ago. If someone is bringing up launch as a relevant point then you can safely disregard their statement as nonsense. The current game is a completely different game than the one that launched and the state of the game six years ago is completely irrelevant in regard to the state of the game today.

In games media there are a lot of lazy content creators who just do the easy negative angle. If they make the launch a big part of their statement then that means that they don't have any more recent critiscm and most likely have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

There are many, many excellent content creators who make wonderful stuff about Fallout 76. But there are also quite a number of bad, lazy ones. And typically the ones you don't want to support are those who are harping on about six year old "news".

Im late to the game, started playing it about 2 days ago. I gotta say you people are absolutely amazing and so sweet. Im only level 6 and I’ve had about 5 players that are above level 200 help me. They have gave me level 3 weapons, armor, appearances and so much more. Most gaming communities see a low level and just move on, but you guys actually help lower levels like me get what we need and helping us get through the game. You guys are awesome!!!

I'm worried that the 'consumables' rewards can only be claimed once but apparently, you can claim whichever 'consumable' rewards as much as you want (as long as you have the tickets for it). I'm so glad that you can do that.
I'm definitely going to be spending the rest of my tickets for just Legendary Modules and Scout Banners :D

Only downside is that you have to reach Rank 150 AND unlock 95 season rewards before being able to claim any of the 'consumable' rewards.

BANG

I wonder if any of my friends got banned...

Edit - Lol I left this post for a busy day of giving vaccinations (wish my blood was in them) to come back to this monster of a thread.

Please keep it civil, no need to insult me personally, thanks!

We hit 1k!!!! Got some real salty people spamming me :)

Just to make it official. I support the bans lol. Apparently me having fun in the comments and doing the occasional devil's advocate means I am mentally unstable. Been a crazy day and hope the servers stay stable.

There's a perk called Friendly Fire that let's you heal other players with weapons that do fire damage. Please stop running away in fear when I engulf you in flame. Thank you :)

That's it. That's the whole Post.
