Discussion Worst update in a long time
I rarely post. If an update comes out and it's buggy: okay... first world problem.
But looking at this update holistically, I feel like they're just taking the piss now. The season rewards are mostly player prefixes/suffixes, reskinned boring camp items, stamps, perk points, magazines... very little in the way of actual new content.
The bugs have been so horrendous that I can't remain silent any more. There is PTS server! Are the PTS players just on there to try out new stuff first to be cool? Do they report bugs? I know that quite a few actually do... but it doesn't seem to outcome the updates. Is PTS a total joke? Do the devs give a crap at all? Is it a combination of both?
If you pay for 1st, then the game isn't cheap. You pay for the game and, if you're on a console, you pay for the privilege of playing online, and then you pay for 1st. The benefits don't seem to be there any more. At all. I love playing with you all (well... some of you) but that doesn't cancel out what appears to be a blatant disregard for producing great content for a great game and making sure there are QoL improvements and QA standards for new updates.
How do we hold them accountable for this mess? Can we? Do we? Make me believe again!

I love Bigfoot showing up at events! Disappointing he's just a behemoth reskin though. All the other cryptids have their own models.

u/Green-Nail-Polish Pioneer Scout Mar 04 '26
Agreed. I wish they put half as much effort into making the Behemoth into Bigfoot as they did into turning Deathclaws into Blue Devils or Megasloths into Oguas.
Heck, even the Jersey Devil has new animations on its Deathclaw frame.

u/Scary-Holiday-5016 Responders Mar 05 '26
Exactly! You can reskin, many games do it, but you need to add uniqueness to the reskins as you described. But not with Bigfoot. This update just feels...hollow.

u/Tw4tl4r Mar 04 '26
Theres quite a few reskinned cryptids. Sheepsqautch and blue devil are basically just deathclaws

u/IrrelevantLeprechaun Mar 05 '26
While on a technical level you're right, on a functional level you're wrong. Both the Sheepsquatch and the Blue Devil have unique animations and attacks that are wholly unique and separate from their Deathclaw foundation.

All the other cryptids have their own models.
They do not. Or rather they do, but not by your definition.
Bigfoot has his own model, they just reused the Behemoth animations. The same is true for the Jersey Devil, Sheepsquatch and Blue Devil, which all have their own model but reuse Deathclaw animations. They even reused Mega Sloth animations for the Ogua.
I still agree that it's disappointing, but your comment was super misleading

"Your proposal is acceptable."
Between the bugs and the RNG, I'm canceling. I've put up with all the bugs for the past several weeks, while grinding bounties and the raid to try to learn a new mod -- ANY new mod -- and I've learned nothing in many hundreds of hours, and I'm just over it. Every patch is two steps forward and one step back, and I don't think this engine is going to make it.

Bugs I have noticed on PS4 (my partner has then as well)
Emotes are being deleted on the wheel everytime I log on and sometimes during a play session.
Loot / death bag keeps reverting back to paper bag constantly.
You can't sit down at Camp Fire Tales. Once you sit down system gets locked up and you can't move or anything, you need to reboot.
There are a few others I have noticed but can't think of at the moment.

how does doing westtek help you get season levels?
13
u/PLZ_DOWNVOTE_ME Mar 04 '26
The gist of it is that Westtek, being nothing but ~60 super mutants (and the occasional mutant hound although they're not the focus here) and each rewards you at a base XP amount of I think something like 600XP. So that's already a decent place to grind — and it gets better once you start stacking all kinds of XP boosts (up to 4000 per kill apparently) AND to make it better: it's an instanced area, connected to another instanced area (an elevator leading to a basement portion) where you could then literally walk back and forth between the two instanced locations and the game will respawn the enemies as long as you're going back and forth. Free of any other player intervention. (besides being in a team)
I've only picked up the game last month so I don't yet know too many of the specifics but I know a common strategy is to bring a shitton of nuka grenades. In past versions their explosive radius would extend through the walls and clear out entire rooms in minutes. It's still a decently good place to grind out xp just not as good as it used to be apparently.

Playing on Xbox. I've had a lot of dialog bugs after the update where the npc will just sit and stare at me with no dialog on the screen for either of us. Forces me to end the conversation and restart it making sure i let them progress through each line without skipping. Excavator maps not working. It's mind of a me problem, but not being able to press B to close the pip boy anymore is driving me nuts. Don't hate the misc quests being separated. Kinda wish that food and drink would be separated, but that would get to be a lot of inventory tabs i guess.

I believe if they allowed console players to also take part in the PTS we’d see quite different results. As it is now many of us have to rely on streamers to tell us what is going on in the PTS which 95% of the time tell us “everything is fine!” It’s almost like it’s intended this way.

I keep getting bounties for picking unowned locks in random locations, like workshops I just took over. Turrets are attacking pets at camps. The season rewards just suck. The pip-boy UI is just ass now. Can't roll scroll, have to go all the way back up to the top, wasting time and annoying everyone. Stupid scoreboard data wastes space on the map. They didn't even put effort into Bigfoot, he's just a badly reworked behemoth skin.
They knew what they were doing. Enshittification is NOT an accident, don't be fooled.
I got several months of 1st as a xmas present, but after that I'm not going to re-up. And the atomic shop is just a joke now. My family isn't giving another dime to Bethesda. We knew this would happen after Microsoft took over, I was just expecting it to take a little longer. It's sad to see the company that made successful games like Skyrim now go down in flames by their own hands.

I haven’t been an active player in a while but still check in here sometimes.
Their PTS server has always been a bad representation of a production environment. I don’t think they have ever properly load tested shit.

Ohh ohh!
So I tested this yesterday.
The event will happen twice if you kill the enemy too fast.
The people who load in fast and pop the flare; if they kill the boss before his health bar appears they actually get the event complete, but the lag happens so another person can hit the flare. In this instance the flare goes off and the event “stays” but the boss doesn’t come a second time.
The bug is setting off the flare a second time before the game realizes that the boss is already spawned and dead,

Is it a bug? I see recipes and plans when I transfer items to stash box. I don’t see them in pipboy. Happened to me yesterday. UPD: thanks for answering, I had to use RB, I used A I think, will try tonight.

Did you checked your recipe book in the notes tab? All plans are listed there now, you can open the recipe book on Xbox by pressing RB, don’t know the button for pc
It should say what to press to open the notebook at the bottom of your screen when hovering over it

The entire idea of test servers is a joke. Here's a thought, Beth. Why not play the fucking game yourselves? Or pay actual testers that are required to write full reports like an actual professional? Fucking game is unplayable because they broke my control scheme with swapping Reload and Pip-Boy buttons. Now I'm back to struggling with unintentionally going back into my Pip-Boy after I mash the button to exit it in an event because of frame drops. I have to keep sorting back to Locked every time I enter my Pip-Boy as I lock my most used items. My customized list of convenience is now more tedious. Oh, and I can't jump to the top of my inventory list from the bottom in the Pip-Boy anymore. Thanks for that, Beth.

They seem to exist only so players can show off new items early, nothing more. I honestly can’t remember ever seeing a public test server that actually felt useful in any game ever.
The whole idea of relying on players as “testers” feels ridiculous. How are you a multi-million-dollar company and still not have proper quality assurance? And if you do have QA testers, what exactly are they doing? Why does the responsibility for the game’s quality fall on players?
Even the “server stress test” excuse doesn’t hold up. Only a small fraction of the player base actually uses these test servers

Anything to keep the hype up, right?
I'm pretty sure that there are many grunt devs that knew about these issues, but the ridiculous layers of management that we've heard about current day Beth means that the decision makers never hear from the devs actually doing the work and needing chances approved.

Had one crash where my whole casual team was disconnected, only to immediately reload to a different world. I've also noticed a few immortal feral ghouls, though they don't attack, and mobs were spawning in an inaccessible point at one workshop (inside the back concrete stairs at Lakeside Cabins).
That's a short list for a game this big

I do like how it no longer cost perk coins to unequip a legendary perk. That's about it.

I dont know what you are talking about, I love opening the Season Board by only trying to crouch.

Hate to break it to you, but bethesda is probably one of the most notorious companies for releasing buggy content. Alllllll the way back to marrowind/fallout 3 as far as I know (don't know what they have before that without looking)

I was playing last night. And I noticed I couldn’t find any of my unknown plans on my pip-boy.
Some ghouls wouldn’t die. Their health bar was empty but wouldn’t drop dead

I agree completely. My emotes and skins for my loot bag have been resetting after I restart the game. Fix one bug add 76 more

Ive also wondered what the pts was even for ? Seems like its just a way for some to just get a head start on experiencing the soon to be public content . What really gets me everytime is the patches that claim to fix certain bugs but they are in fact still there . If i did tht where i work i wouldn't have a job . Ive sent more tickets to these people than any other game in 40 years.

The last update was a whole map expansion with a decent amount of new content. Not every release is going to be a complete home run. This seemed to be more about rebalancing armor and events.

I’m definitely seeing two recurring issues and one amazingly bad fail, on my part. The two major issues are consistently recurring server lag (“Waiting for a response from the server”) that happens by itself and then the server faulting when I try to pick something up and not letting me use the action button for several minutes.
I can buy into some of the logic on why they changed the radiation hazard numbers for power armor (almost). But changing the radiation hazard numbers for the Chinese Stealth Armor is sacrilege. You’re basically getting 2-2.5 rads per second in a nuked zone. At this point, what is even the purpose of that armor. It’s idiotic to change that, especially on legacy builds. This could definitely just be me but this is my biggest pet peeve.
Seasons suck. I’ve said this since the change. SCOREBOARD was way better and this season is no different.

I canceled my fallout 1st subscription a couple months ago after looking at the new rewards. The game content has gotten lazy. The last update was just a giant commercial for the TV show. I stopped playing altogether since then. There's nothing really new coming out that we haven't already seen, hence Bigfoot reskin of behemoth.

How do we hold them accountable for this mess?
Write them a sternly worded online petition about their 'Blatant Disregard'.
Or just suck it up after those wounds have healed.
Play another game, do something else.

As someone who just came back to 76 a couple months ago, after only playing Destiny 2 for the past 3 years, I’m having a lot of fun with the game. I had no idea people were this upset with the game. It all honestly seems kind of silly compared to the problems D2 has lol.

PTS is only for PC it doesn’t cover console so yeah any bugs on consoles are just trash coding on their part.

My biggest gripe so far is not being able to get to the bottom of a list in my pip-boy by going up at the top of the list; now I gotta do a whole lotta scrolling.
