Fallout 76’s Premium Private Servers Are Not Private, Its Scrap Box Is Deleting Scrap

Because Bethesda.
They've refused to evolve and change and persistent bugs and problems have followed them through two generations of consoles. This is exactly what the management team deserves, and I'm sorry for anyone under them working on this game who will have to leave it off of their resume.
This feels like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Except when you wake up, you'll hear "ah, you're finally awake..." Todd, you son of a bitch.
Yeah there was a real defense force out across the internet, claiming this and now it looks like Layla here is right
When did EA buy them?
It's like if you bought a new car and right off the lot the transmission slips. You've now had it in the shop over and over throughout the last year. You've now been upsold new tires that have balled, new seats that ripped and a new steering wheel that turns out is made of graham crackers. You got a call this week that for the low low price of almost double what you originally paid you could have a great new high end gps/entertainment system installed that will work for 1 year. For some reason you say yes and after installation you find out the GPS is a printout of a Google map, and the entertainment system deletes all your music.
When they first mentioned private worlds a friend of mine was so excited that he might be able to spin up his own locally hosted private server like in Conan or Ark. It always seems to be 1 step forward and 2 steps back with this game.
I don't understand how Bethesda is failing to reset digital instances of worlds. I mean, it's not like a hotel where house keeping has to come in and swap out the sheets.
Yeah, i remember! "People are not understanding, it's PRIVATE SERVERS!!! And for that price they are even cheap!!!"
LOL
I'm mostly just teasing, don't worry.
I think cautious optimism is a good thing, just not with a company that has Bethesda's track record.
Even worse, they were calling it dedicated servers, like something out of competent video game. It was obvious that Bethesda was reselling empty instances.
There was a specific poster saying anyone who was even looking into it had mental problems so at this point it's hard to tell haha.
Either way it's good to see they stuck the landing in absurdity again.
I knew it was going to be some bullshit.
Seriously, they are just taking what's already FREE for everyone, locking it off to you and your friends and calling it a day.
This has just highlighted how fucking scummy they've gone about it, you are literally not paying for something new or extra, other than a tick box to prevent others joining you on an already spooled instance.
Then taking away all your time spent and deleting things, apparently.
This happens all the time, for decades, it doesn't matter how many examples you can give of games doing this.
Give it a few months and people forget - because people like you and me that aren't in the industry couldn't possibly know better. /s
Of course we fucking do.
It was the same for Anthem, oh my GOD the amount of people who saw through the bullshit before anyone had even got their hands on it was astonishingly accurate. Sometimes, just sometimes you can actually see through all the smoke and see what devs/publishers are up to, but you will always get people defending it.
Get ready for "it was a bug" / boilerplate response.

I honestly have no idea why people would still give them money for anything related Fallout 76.
It's mind blowing to me.
the sad thing is that they do this shit because they make money out of it.

I don't think I've ever seen a "taunt to get bodied" go this epicly bad.
Like I don't even wanna laugh, because it's legitimately fucking ridiculous that Bethesda's fucking over its fans so fucking brazenly like this.
Fallout 76: The gift that keeps on giving.
Can the gaming community please petition that it gets named the worst game of 2019? The fact it was released in 2018 should not be a factor in the LIVE SERVICE era.

When they said the instance wouldn't stay up unless there's subscribers in it, i knew they were doing some cheap shit to avoid giving people an actual dedicated server. I didn't expect expect to be bugged on top of that though!
This is basically a video game timeshare.

Who wants to bet that the big update with NPCs gets cancelled after suckering away people's money over the next year.
You know, the worst thing is that Fallout 76 could really be a good game, some people are still playing and enjoying it nowadays. But Bethesda, instead of try to turn thing around since the disastrous launch, keeps only trying to explore the people that are playing the game and try to find new ways to take more money from them. And that behavior is inexcusable for me, they deserve nothing but a fuck off from their old time fans.
Wait they added a paid subscription option instead of fixing the damn game? I haven't played in god 6 months now. WTF. Such a shame this game had so much potential and yet it's still a mess and getting worse.
I don't know if I'm more amazed by the bugs...or that some players actually paid for this subscription!?
Why on earth would they be re-using world's!? It's all digital!? Surely you just wipe the save file and the server loads a new game. It's got to be a bug.
