That's when you feel overly excited about every small aluminium can you find out there.
Then I'm even more confused how he 1 shot us with his shotgun. We were 22 to 25ish at the time.
It's entirely possible. The first patch to Skyrim famously made things worse.
I thought you disliked $60 games with microtransactions, and were telling people to avoid them?
By the time I ended last night I could finally craft fusion cores. What a relief.
Still have 9 perk points hanging out waiting to be distributed. Doing mental gymnastics trying to determine where I'll get the most value out of stacked combo perks.

Items > Junk > Component View > Mark
You need to have at least one of the item though. Any items you're missing can be marked at a dcrafting bench, if you have a BP that requires them.
I'm spring-poor. How do I mark for search?
EDIT: Oh. That was just answered above. Thanks!
There's a handful of workshops that produce fusion cores, claim one of em if you're getting low.
Yeah, Balistic Fibre is in pretty short supply as well.
Camp McClintok is a fairly good place for it, lots of ammo bags and military grade duct tape. Only problem is that it's often raided by new players because it's an early spot on the Overseer quest.
What purpose does it serve to wander into an OT only to shit on the game? There are folks in this thread, myself included, who are legitimately enjoying their time with this game. There are plenty of popular games that I don't enjoy, but I don't go to their OT just to let people know how much I dislike said game.
Really, all that can be done is flag the particularly egregious shit-stirrers for trolling and move on.
Is there any particular trick to finding magazines? I've found a lot of Bobbleheads, but only one magazine the entire time I've been playing (including all the BETAs).
There's a minigun at the top of the Poseidon Power Plant that's easy to get, but you have to be something like level 30 to use it.

I've seen worse. Somethingawful there wasn't even anyone talking about the actual game anymore
There's a racetrack NW of Vault 76, next to some fairgrounds. Has aluminum that you can mine
I seem to remember saying something like that but I don't remember what game I was bitching about at the time.
I don't have a problem with the mtx in this game as they are completely optional and only cosmetic. Nothing is gated and you earn atomics pretty quickly. No XP boosters here.
Speaking of XP boosters, now you have me thinking. What game was I talking about before? Assassins Creed? I do always wait for a sale on those. That's the thing about $60 games. They are always on sale eventually, except for Nintendo. I certainly don't begrudge anyone for waiting on a sale for this game if they want to wait.
What advantage does the crossbow have other than being more silent? Can you retrieve cross bolts after firing them?
I think I recorded this two days ago? Fun little moment of compressed buggyness similar to that including the infinite carry space. I was just trying to get rid of some mini-nukes.
I've had a nightmarish time today. I started the game up to my main quest vanishing. I ignored it while I did a nearby side quest and a scorched beast destroyed my armor. Eventually I fixed the glitch after restarting twice but my pocketed gear was broken, so I couldn't use the exploit for infinite weight. I did the next main quest while overencumbered and it was complete misery. I must have ran into 3 more scorched beasts, deathclaws, giant enemy crabs, wendigos, sometimes multiple at once. Jokes on those people talking shit about the VATS system in this game because since I'm on a base PS4, that's the only way I'm shooting anything at 5fps.
Eventually I had to look up where I could find more ballistic fiber near me because having all my armor busted while being slow as molasses was getting really annoying and I went through 4 military camps when finally at the last one another God damn scorched beast, wendigo and a few high level scorched guys spawn. Thankfully a player charged in like a knight in shining power armor, level 86 and kills them while I cowered in a tent taking pot shots.
I had a pretty good time today.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the crazy one. I look at reviews and think, "do I have Stockholm syndrome"? And yet, I Jst keep coming back to the game. Aside from the bug and technical issues, which are inexcusable, this game is scratching an itch that nothing else does currently. I played FF14 at launch, played NMS launch, played ESO af launch, and I am having a way, way better time with this one, bugs notwithstanding.
You're not alone. I'm also wondering if I'm going crazy, why do I like this so much when everybody else seems to despise it?
You arent alone and honestly the technical hitches are about the only thing major id consider wrong with the game
The content and mechanics are mostly great
Im loving this game
"Pssssttttt...most of the people who've been deriding the game haven't even played it...."
It's not just that, it's the overwhelming pervasive vibe this game has, from reviews, to Youtube content, to viral videos of a guy destroying a Gamestop. It's like No Mans Sky reception turned up to 11.
And yes, the game is not perfect, has issues, bugs and all sorts of QOL issues that need to be fixed. But honestly, Battle For Azeroth launched in a worse state in my opinion, not seeing Gamestops destroyed over that.
Finally got to play with the new patch on PC!
...infinite loading screen on initial startup.
...first fight after getting in is immensely laggy.
We're off to a good start.
Edit: Also, several of my perks don't seem to work anymore. Pharma Farma for sure.

I actually don't think it's as bad as No-Man's Sky, for the sole reason that most people went in with pretty low expectations.
The hype train surrounding NMS was absolutely legendary...which made the crash all the more explosive.
You had people calling for Sean Murray's head on a spike, and while people have been deriding Todd quite a bit, it's mostly in a memey way.
Which is silly
This game has far more content and consistency than Vanilla D1/No Mans Sky/FF14 1.0 combined
Its hard though since Bethesda carries baggage similar to recent fan meltdowns over Pokemon and Diablo
People put these expectations in a box and lose their shit when a game doesnt meet them
Fuck Monster Hunter World had to sell 10 millions before the haters finally backed off and got their generations port
Im sick of how ridiculous the culture can be sometimes
It's the Bethesda charm. Most of their games are buggy, but we keep on coming back. I'm actually waiting on Fallout 76. Played the Beta and thought it was fine - definitely not winning any awards. But I'll get it eventually. That said, I don't think they should be rewarded for this game. I wanna see something better from them.
Rob, let's be real, the game in its current state is a mess. A lot of it seems limited on a technical and design level and at times, half-baked, and I say this as someone who is totally hooked on the gameplay loop.
The game needs a lot of updates.
I had this glitch before the patch, so it simply wasn't fixed yet. Interestingly enough I've encountered the very same glitch in previous Fallout games on 360 and PS4. It's an annoyance since only restarting the game fixes this.
The map and content variety is the star of the show here
They legit packed a ton of weird shit into every nook and cranny
Combat, leveling, perks, building, exploring, resource gathering are all good and addictive.
Performance seems to be the largest hurdle for them right now and at least seems to be the main focus with patches
Oh.. and there are live NPCs in the game.. at least one but she only talks to you over the radio. I mean hey at least there are living breathing people that arent other players right?

The bug where you can be stuck in your Power Armor from Fallout 4 is in 76 as well, heh.
Im in agreement here even though the only issue ive personally run into is the occasional server disconnect
Their primary focus should be 100% on getting the bug and performance fixes in... if possible
I feel like bringing this game to stable levels with how complex and huge it is must be a massive task
