Fallout 76: Wastelanders |OT| Building a Better Future in West Virginia

It's been talked about a while ago but nobody jumped in to set a Discord up yet, I know a sort of guild system is coming to the game so I'm sure we can set up a Era one.
You already bought the 6K worth of gold bullion this week?
Yeah, this is a good idea too.
you on PS4? i might wanna do some co-op, i play alone way too much.
btw page 76 :P
Damnit! I completely forgot about Smiley. Thanks for the reminder. I am maxxed out at the moment and always getting close. I feel like I need to go seek out a good lever rifle on the marketplace.
Nice one, I'd of never got around to sorting it.
Can I suggest a vending section of some sort?
Logging in to do dailies, and the obtuse grind for the Season made me drop 76 for the time being. I''ll be back into it whenever they drop the next story update.
That's kind of one of the larger challenges I see 76 still needs to overcome. Outside of the main story and the new stuff from Wastelanders, do I want to login every day to do a grind over and over again?
If you don't like grinding, this isn't the game for you, that is for sure. At least the end game isn't for you.
Me personally, i love grinding. It's how I relax after work.
I'm really enjoying the Legendary Run, but I was already doing the dailies everyday. It's some structure to the grind and they mix it up.
I am okay with grind. I think it is okay to not want to play every day though. No point in getting burnt out.
Yeah, I don't play every single day. It's impossible. I'm just going to see how far I can get on the legendary run. I've missed 3 or 4 days since it's started and I'm rank 31 now.
Is there some kind of catch up mechanic coming? Can you buy ranks with atoms?
I remember reading that, a couple of weeks after initial release maybe?
Yeah. The button is already there to rank up but it's currently grayed out. It's supposed to become active at some point. I don't think anyone knows how many atoms it will cost, so we shall see.
How badly do I want that secret fireplace door? Haha.
Today's "In the Vault" says:
There's double XP this weekend, which will boost the 'earn levels' SCORE daily progress, and the double SCORE weekend coming up with help too.
I unlocked the "Stars" wallpaper a day or two ago + am considering re-doing my camp around it :)
Dropped my first nuke last night and I mistakenly put it in a really bad spot for the Scorchbeast Queen, everyone had to fight her inside the blast zone. 3 Star and we couldnt take her down sadly. Partly because most of the high levels were doing Project Paradise (which is a good thing) just bad timing from when I was working through the nuke silo...
Anyway got the Platinum Trophy. Looks like I might be playing some Nuclear Winter since it is double XP this weekend.
Just hit Rank 41 in the Season, cruising along but it is going to be slowing down quickly 2k+ SCORE points now to rank up.

I thought I was moving at a quick pace, and I am only 34 or so in Seasons, with yesterday being the first day I ignored a few dailies
This raises a good question, where do you aim when dropping a nuke on the Scorchbeast Queen? I dropped my first one on Whitesprings to farm highly irradiated fluids and such
Like something with bots and excel spreadsheets or just people posting stuff they have for sale?
You will fly through levels this weekend. Especially if you group up.
Have you finished all the weekly challenges? I have only missed 2 or 3 Nuclear Winter Challenges and have everything done for this week and today just to give a barometer.
Got to laugh, a daily quest (Heart of the enemy) just gave 2.2k in XP but killing the Colossus only gave me 1.3k, think that must of been a glitch!
Sounds about right. The colossus gives about as much XP as a level 80 scorchbeast IIRC. Also the XP bar numbers are a bit weird and end up throwing out the wrong numbers sometimes.
Thanks to double XP, I am now at level 50 on the legendary run.
So no server issues currently, right?
I've been trying to connect this evening to finally check the game out, but I keep getting a message about servers being down. I'll have to look into it a bit more.
Edit: OK, so I just looked it up, and the Bethesda support article on how to fix this issue that i'm having to reinstall the game on the same drive as my OS. That is not currently possible. Is anyone else aware of this issue and may have a solution? I've googled a bit, came up with some port forwarding and checking the firewall, but nothing that helped.

can try this. Not personally aware of another solution besides C drive
Go to the directory that the game is installed on Z:\Program Files\ModifiableWindowsApps\Fallout 76
Copy the Project76.ini file go to your my games folder on your windows drive
C:\Users(username)\Documents\My Games\Fallout 76 Paste the file into this folder then right click on the file and change it to read only.
Took a little break from the game a few days ago and it was totally the right call for me. I was getting caught up in grinding out SCORE, and the game was starting to feel like work. By taking a few days off it immediately broke the pressure to keep logging in so that I could unlock everything in the season pass. Such a silly psychological thing because I honestly don't care about like 90% of the items in the season, and even the 10% I think look cool - I'd definitely not be heartbroken about missing out on them. But it was like - they gave me this thing to do and it felt like I ***had*** to do it.
I dunno. Not a new experience in the age of Battle Pass/Season Pass, but I guess like most things Fallout - it got it's hooks in me more than other games.
The good news - back to logging in and having a good time, not stressing out over the tasks. I still try and knock them out, but it's more just like a framework around the other things I'm doing. "Oh hey, I have a daily to kill scorched, and this quest puts me in Charleston where I know there are scorched". That kind of thing.

That's the best way to think about it. It's not the end of the world if we don't unlock everything,
Ranking up with atoms is now an option, btw. 150 atoms per rank. I wouldn't do it now, but when the time is running out I might buy a few ranks if I am close to something I want.
Double score weekends will push this along as well.
This weekend might be a good weekend as well to get a leg up. I was blazing through the 10k weekly challenges last night, well rested, full groups, and lunch box buffs. Got to level 43 last night.
Yeah, will have to see how far I can get this weekend.
Depending on how close we get by the end of the run, I could see spending 1500 atoms to get the last 10 levels if needed. I really want that fireplace. haha.
I'm a First subscriber, so I'll have atoms to play with, and I've spent them on stupider stuff.
I was looking forward to the double XP weekend - just got my alt (well who is now my main tbh) up to 53 the other night so I'm in the fun part of finishing out the build. However, Ghost of Tsushima just launched and.. uh.. yeah. Definitely going to be putting most of my time into that.
Hopefully we get another Double XP weekend before the season is up, and there is still the Double SCORE weekend coming up too

We got a really weird bug last night in the Line in the Sand Event. All of the scorched kept dropping about 10 feet in the air right in front of the satellite station you need to protect. There were 7 or 8 of us doing the event and we just destroyed them within 1-2 seconds. It was hard to get a hit on them for the experience (grabbed my Tesla Rifle after a bit to get some hits going).
It was just bonkers happening over and over again, great for experience, I think I gained one full level (127 now) just doing that.

I'm back on my Commando build and I love the Tesla rifle for those scenarios. I wish I could find a quad. Best I have is a vampire Tesla, which does make me invincible.
I've seems that happen in JuiceHead's recent videos, but never in person!
You gained 80 levels since your last post? Is working with a group that much faster?
Sorry. Season level I am 43. Character level I am 127.
You should be grouping up pretty much all the time now. There is very little drawback to grouping up, just make sure you have the inspirational perk going and share a perk with your group as well.
Welp. It happened. Half of my daily challenges were auto-completed and didn't show up. Thankfully, XP buffing and double XP week gave me a significant boost so I am not too worried but damn man, this shit should of been fixed eons ago.
I like the idea of the ammo converter. I completely forgot about it and have been dropping missiles and nukes on the floor. But they really need to make it function better, obviously. How they shipped it in that shape is a little sad.
I'm still new to the game, but small screw up I caught myself doing already.
I'm level 18 and my scrap box is already full weight. I'm thinking to myself, how the hell can this be? It turns out, sometimes I wasn't junking all my scrap FIRST before just dumping with the 'store all scrap' button. Cleared about 100lbs out converting it all.
