Some fans appear determined not to let this trend affect the game’s welcoming reputation, having reported that they are trying to rebuild other people’s C.A.M.P.s whenever they see them nuked, and work even harder to support newbies in other ways. Between that and Fallout 76’s existing anti-griefing measures, it’s possible that this potential uptick in malicious player activity will pass before long.
Griefing in Fallout 76 is pretty much non-existent - it’s an overblown “headline”.
That community has been one of the most friendly and welcoming communities of pretty much any multi-player game in the last few years. Asking a question or for help from a complete stranger and getting way more information or assistance is actually the more common occurrence.
The game has been around for a long time, so welcoming or helping a newbie is sometimes a nice break from the grind for the high-level players.
Come on over newbies - the game has changed a LOT from its original iteration (which WAS a shitshow full of bugs and griefing - which is outdated information from long past).
I was genuinely surprised how nice people are on 76 when I played it. I was so used to the toxic COD lobbies and GTA Online servers that I just expected the worst from everyone. Such a huge breath of fresh air. I only stopped playing because I ran out of stuff to do.
Me too, after 250 hours and level 120 i also stopped playing it.
You’re probably not wrong, but this dosn’t surprise me. As you know the success of the show increased the amount of online players, which also inevitably increase the amount of toxic players(even if it’s still a little minority).
SMH so much drama. Griefing isn’t really a thing in 76. Camps are easily fixed, shelters are invincible, trap camps are very rare, trolls are also super rare, and you literally have pacifist mode to avoid pvp. Honestly though…
Oh, look, the exact reason I never Played this game in the first place and never will
You can tell as well. It really isn’t bad like that and it’s just materials you gather nonstop anyway. They aren’t stealing weapons or ammo or meds, they can’t. Literally can only break your camp by being in pvp with you which you can turn off so you never are. iI they nuke you which is at least 10+ minutes to setup and then a 2 minute countdown until the nuke hits your camp, you can easily switch camps or log out of the server. Also nukes are how you take on bosses for the most part so it’s not usually put on a camp.
You mean the reason you won’t play is because of an article exaggerating the toxicity of the players? Because I can guarantee you there nearly no griefing whatsoever. Surely you have a better reason to not play than simple non-existent griefers?
Fallout should only ever be a single-player game. The whole point is that you’re going it solo. That’s where it shines.
But more than that, I have never had a gaming experience that wasn’t made worse with other players.
Fallout should only ever be a single-player game. The whole point is that you’re going it solo.
What? The first game ever literally had a companion system. You basically needed them to survive. Every game since has had a big emphasis on how being alone isn’t the way to go. You are constantly working with others, helping others, getting help from others. Your argument is ridiculous.
Your argument is ridiculous.
You asked me why I don’t want multiplayer Fallout, and I told you. If you don’t like it, that’s your problem.
There’s no griefing in Fallout 4. Just saying…
Yeah, it’s a completely different game. What does this have anything to do with the post?
Because fAlLoUt 76 iS bAd!!! /s
That’s all that is. He was implying that 76 is bad and that 4 is better. The usual played out, whiny bandwagon bullshit.
Yeah I figured as much lmao
What does me mentioning a fallout game without grieifing have to do with a post talking about a fallout game that is currently being griefed? Doesn’t take ten points in intelligence to figure this one out.
“Oh your minecraft server got griefed? Have you tried playing this entirely different, singleplayer game? Wait, yes it is relevant to the conversation!”
Did you mistyped 76 or is this because 76 is hated by a huge chunk of players ?
No, Fallout 4 is single player. Therefore it has no griefing. Also it was recently updated to next gen graphics on console so it’s a great time to play.
Yep, i played it again recently, gotta go finish all DLCs
