Bethesda You should really start integrating the Appalachia Winter Mod into your game so that there is always snow in Appalachia at winter time. And what would also be good if they bring in the children's toy carpet where there are many roads on it, because you could put the model cars, houses, creatures on it.

[@alexh6767]

Would be interesting to have seasons

@@arthurmaxson9698 I mean technically you're right. The main Bethesda team isn't involved with tis game. Another company is though.

[@skuzzlebutt5261]

@@hermos3602 They never said it was Bethesda. It's always nice to see trolls putting words in others mouths. So anyway, as someone who's been playing since the game was a complete disaster to now and also understands open world gaming = bugs no matter who made the game. Fo76 is buggy, there are glitches and what not but it has also improved incredibly. Is it fun? Yeah, lots to do even end game. is it repetitive once you're level 9xx and have done everything in game yeah... but that's expected when you've played so much. Supports and updates for the game have been constant and very imaginative. Overall I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10, fun to pick and mess around on, do a seasonal event etc... is it the best, no. Is it fun, yeah. Can I nuke someones camp for the hell of it? Also yes.

Okay. . . .but now you need Elvis!!!!!!! Elvis is everywhere!

[@LordOmnissiah]

I wish, but they can’t. The licensing fees for Elvis’ songs are too high. That’s why despite there being an entire faction modeled after him in New Vegas in the form of the Kings they didn’t feature a single one of his songs in the game.

[@charlesogden2104]

Please do a real map expansion!! More quests!!

[@zacharystephens174]

A map expansion is impossible when west virginia is many miles away from new jersey.

[@leviblackwell7997]

​@@thefaceless6406I think he's asking for a open world map like the past fallout expansions, like far harbor or point lookout. When they launched the pit I was expecting somthing like far harbor with quests, a whole map to explore, and meaningful factions/characters, but all we got was a glorified Daily op.

Cobbler doesn't include pastry, you make a crust out of cinnamon, sugar, oats, flour, and margarine butter or oil, compacted together and baked separately before topping it with your fruit/s of choice, I usually make an apple-cranberry cobbler/crunch and then I sprinkling pretty much the same stuff from your bottom crust on top and you can compact it as well to make it more like a bar if you would like. Cobbler simply isn't pie lol. It isn't even always round aside from in Fallout lol. With that aside, I thought we were going to get more information about open world exploration outside of the Expeditions in this video as mentioned at the end of the last video you guys put out. :/

[@itsmehere1]

I really hope they make it where the entire world has snow on it or at least a large portion of it now around Christmas time, its cool to be able to have it at our camps but there is noting like the feeling of seeing it everywhere and not just around a camp.

[@Phuckboy]

Looks like a lot of fun! But constructive criticism - The Showstopper is going to need to be a lot better. The skin is cool and even better if we can re roll it, but it'll need a strong additional effect if it's to stand toe to toe with The Cold Shoulder's cryo damage.

[@jacky8585]

Cold shoulder builds are meta

[@WolfDoggie]

The Jersey Devils look cool. Also, the game already had a casino, it's rerolling legendary items 😆

[@nbgrbtyby55]

Increase that build limit in camps , please I’ll pay you Bethesda.

[@boiledvaultmuttchop]

Definitely one of the crucial problems of Fallout 76 but obviously they don't have an answer to it.

[@prince_julius]

When the community voted on the cobbler/pie challenge, they should have said that "yes, a cobbler is a pie", just so we'd have a wider array of food items to loot for the challenge.

[@jeffsullivan2037]

My two cents - i missed the memo due to health issues - Cobbler is not a pie. A pie is made from a pastry and is fully encased with top and bottom. Cobblers are not made that way. (Look at the best way of making a cobbler - Dutch oven recipe.

[@user-zr3xb7tr2d]

I play all the big games, but always come back to Fallout 76. Thank you for all the amazing work you do!

The new expedition looks promising, im still confused if the expedition will take us to a whole new open world or just multiple confined play areas? like are we getting somthing like far harbor or are we getting The Pit again?

Man far harbor is soooo good best fallout doc ever imo

Yeah it's not very fun spawning in a display case and be the exhibit for the day.

Bet people gonna use it to grief sadly

[@spacelime7579]

Cool but when r u gonna give us a reasonable legendary rolling system that doesnt involve us rolling armor with a 1/6000 chsnce to get the roll we want? Or rebalance the railway rifle?

The only gripe i have with new armor sets and we've seen this time over time is that when we get new armors we dont get paint jobs for them. So like free states paints for all the "new armors" are coming when? Red Viper paints for Brotherhood Recon armor when? Etc.

[@Chase-jc7rx]

Love this update for the most part and yes you did listen to the community for a lot of this but where in the community did you hear that we want MORE power armor like there's already so many that it's meaningless from a game play perspective and from a lore perspective its completely broken the lore of power armor other than that I like this update

[@user-kt4sp1gz4i]

i want Nuclear Winter back!

[@oshirokai2784]

76 just a couple things I believe the game is missing. You’ve added so much for new players but haven’t update how many characters we can create. Player who already have 4 toonz, can’t participate in the new player experience sue to being a character cap. Also, why can’t we change the name of out characters? - when can we expect a stash box weight upgrade. Your adding new things but not updating the player’s stash. - is it possible to add a function to have shared stashes for all characters? I have items I’d love to trade to my other characters but can’t.

[@pronoblewolf]

The overgrown just look like classic Fallout 3 in Fallout New Vegas style the Meyer lurk Kings

[@markm7411]

The game is amazing now, all works great, love the game, just wish they put in little more content also on the map I don’t really care about this expeditions :/ the game needs new things on the map which would be not even so hard just make zones with super hard enemies and many of them so we have a challenge just so the grinding we doing for all the best gear makes sense :/ feels way to easy now the game just give us also enemies with level 200, that would really bring much more players into the game, or something we’re we can make teams and play against other teams of real players, but harder enemies we really need so badly:/ please Bethesda

[@janetschneier1427]

Cobblers are NOT pies. Typically they don't have a bottom crust. My recipe has it layered with filling, then crust, then filling again, and finishing it with a top crust. So, you have it folks.....cobblers are NOT pies.

[@gelacticcamper7942]

Wrong. We have fought something similar to the overgrown. In Fallout New Vegas we fought them in honest hearts, and old world blues. Also in vault 22 we have to fight our way through them. I advise the same tactics used for all three engagements. Keep your distance or burn them to ashes. No one wants an outbreak of theses things spreading. 1:51

Hopefully things are very different from the initial reports from the test server. I joined Fallout 76 to rebuild the wasteland, loving the community and building features. The Pitt involved going somewhere else to massacre the largest group of survivors, destabilize the region, destroy what is left. Atlantic City is looking to be the same - let’s go somewhere to kill and demolish instead of rebuild and stabilize. Are we supposed to be the bad guy? 🤔 The Responders support this stuff?
