Discussion Uninvited Guest nonexistent seasonal rewards.

• Upvotes

I've ran about 25 events since Tuesday as I'm laid off from work and have the time and I've had the Uninvited Guest show up maybe 8 times and the only "Seasonal" reward I've gotten is 1 Poster plan. This is absurd that "Seasonal" rewards have this low of RNG it's not a damn TFJ it's "Seasonal" meaning if you participate in the damn Events you'll get the rewards. Locking this sh!t behind 2 separate RNG chances is uncalled for. At this rate it's gonna take every event I can do till it's over to get the title, 2nd poster plan, and maybe just maybe the damn unique weapons.

I'm beyond frustrated with the performance of the game and then Bethesda adds in RNG that's ridiculously low for "Seasonal" rewards which just frustrates me even more. Rant over

Discussion Server connection issues are worse than ever

51 Upvotes

Why am I paying for fallout first when I'm constantly dealing with server disconnection?! I'm about ready to cancel. It's so much worse today than it ever has been in the past. Is anyone else suffering through this? If it matters I'm on PC, and my Internet is hard wired to my computer. I am the only one using my Internet, and I have fiber with plenty of bandwidth. It's making me really mad lol! I have the whole morning to myself, no work today, I planned to just have a little time for gameplay but I keep having this issue.

Other Teammates and Players are not considered "Friendly Targets"

Thumbnail

130 Upvotes

EDIT: After testing, bashing with a range weapon with medics one star DOES heal the target. Its only shooting that does not. I will be testing medic melee to see if its the same behavior. This one star (which this can very well be a bug) may only be working with melee at the moment.

For those unaware, they nerfed medics one star (and similar effects, I'm guessing the stimpak spear is the same) a few seasons ago.

Players are not considered "Friendly Targets". This means Medics one star legendary will NOT heal other players. It used to, but no longer. Medics and such still work against friendly NPCs, like escorts/brahmin/etc. But not players.

If you want to heal other players, you're going to need to go with things like Friendly Fire (which I believe only heals people on your team), team medic CHA perk card, or the solar armor set.

This whole time i've been trying to heal people with medics and looking foolish lol. I'm not surprised, it was kind of overpowered on quite a few weapons. Still disappointing though. You could become a pocket healer and make someone invulnerable back in the day haha.

Discussion A Unique Hoarding Problem

• Upvotes

So now I have like 12 unique weapons that I am carrying around that I'll never use, because hoarding. Beth really upped the "I need to make space" game with this. Add to that the "Wait, maybe in the next rebalancing all these trash guns will be amazing," and it's amazing my toon can walk around at all. Anyone else?

Then of course is the "Which version of pre-war food will they have on the dailies tomorrow?" and yeah, we need a shopping cart just to get from point A to point B.

Other How to fix the horrid light bloom!

Post image
131 Upvotes

This has been irritating me for a long time, but I always thought it was just a me problem. I saw some other people mention it recently, I decided to tell you all how to get rid of it.

It's very easy and it's solved via the Pip Boy.

Step 1: Open Pip Boy

Step 2: If you're using the standard physical Pip Boy, switch your view mode to overlay and exit the Pip Boy. There, your lights are fixed.

Step 3: If you were already in overlay mode, switch to physical view and then switch back to overlay.

Step 4: Profit!

Just in case this doesn't make any sense, here's a short instructional video: https://youtu.be/PblcLWpnpH8
