At this rate, the game will finally be done and ready for full release by the end of next year!

You can do everything alone, except for the final boss. However, it's a public activity so people just show up and help kill her, so you don't have to find people or form a group. Launching a nuke is supposed to require a group but it's very easy to solo with good gear + max level.Is FO76 playable purely single player? I know that it's capable of it, is it worth it? I played FO3/NV/4 to full completion. 76 strikes me as multiplayer first with all the hassles that MP creates (annoying players, quests built for MP and so on). I explore everything and try to find everything, the shared loot zones and having to deal with other players is a real pause for me. I watched reviews from single players and their impressions are all over the place. The lack of NPC's is a real killer but I know they said they will be added at some point.
Picture this: You’re minding your own business, out in the wasteland of Fallout 76, when you come across a camp with a store. Hey, you might think, maybe this is a good time to restock my inventory.
Oh, you sweet summer child. You know not what horrors await you.
A large part of the fun in Fallout 76 comes from encountering other players, but their presence in your game doesn’t always bring good tidings. Xntryk 1, for example, is a fiend who has set up an elaborate trap in his camp. He tricks people into standing in front of his store, only to push a button that releases the trap door. His prey then falls into pit full of flamethrowers and spikes. Most players are killed instantly.
It's still just "Fall 2019" at this point.Have they said when the NPC's are coming to the game?
In Fallout 76, power armor can keep you safe, or it can become a horrible tomb entrapping unsuspecting players until the end of time (or until they reset their game). That’s what happened to one group of players attempting Fallout 76’s brand new raid.
Added today as part of patch 12, Vault 94 is the game’s first raid, inviting up to four players to wander inside and discover what befell the vault’s past inhabitants. Like raids in other games, Vault 94 ebbs and flows between intense combat, small puzzles, and the occasional platforming section, requiring good teamwork and communication between high level players in order to successfully complete it.
Twitch streamer Kevduit’s team was livestreaming the raid earlier today. Unfortunately, no amount of good comms work was going to prevent one of their players, AvxAustral, from getting trapped inside her power armor midway through the group’s attempt to beat the raid on the hardest difficulty. The glitch makes it impossible for a player wearing power armor to move or do anything else, rendering the person useless until they load back into the game. “Are you fucking kiding me?!” AvxAustral said when it happened. “Are you fucking kidding me?”
I never understood the desire to buy these over priced Chinese made junk and collectors editions.I mean, it's a plastic helmet. Only an idiot would wear that thing more than once.

lol I've actually been playing Fallout Shelter for both my fallout and strategy itch. Reminds me of the old SimTower game.I couldn't take the Fallout itch anymore and picked this up for $30 last weekend. There is some great Fallout gameplay here but it still feels like an early access game with all of the bugs. I've been playing solo and doing my own thing and I am having a good time for now. I'll get my monies worth but I don't know if this game will keep me playing as long as all of the other games did. I'm probably around the 15 hour mark now and I just hit level 20 last night.
I cant imagine how bad this must have been at launch if the game still feels this rough. No regrets canceling my collectors edition.
Oh boy. Fallout Shelter. I played that game a ton when it first came out. I had a successful 200 dweller vault and got bored so I stopped playing for a bit. Sometime later I wanted to pick it up again so I started a survival vault. It took a few attempts but I eventually made a successful one of those as well. Same story, got bored, stopped playing.lol I've actually been playing Fallout Shelter for both my fallout and strategy itch. Reminds me of the old SimTower game.
Got really tired of FO76/FO4 for now.
/FacepalmOptional premium monthly subscription coming. Honestly, it sounds nice to me but I like the unlimited mats and solo server.
Wait...so they want you to pay roughly $10/mo to have the privilege of playing the game by yourself?
It's almost like they are trying to kill this game permanently now!
What makes it even funnier is that this news drops like, the day before Outer Worlds comes out, to critical acclaim.
They should of held everything off permanently and killed off the game already. They should of went f2p but they went full retard.They should have held off until after Wastelanders. Actual content, then the premium status.
I think this puts it over dumpster fire that is Anthem.The game still has (or maybe had) a lots of potential. The early portions of 76 are no worse than the previous games. The problem is that the game actually gets worse the further you get. Later areas and missions are half baked at best.
They sold a game that was roughly half-finished with the promise of fixing it with time. They trickled a few things out, but nothing major. Now they're trying to get people to pay a subscription fee for content that should have been there all along? Plus, it's still not even anything big.
Way to alienate your few remaining players. It isn't an Anthem-level dumpster fire, but it's a pretty big black eye.

List of issues from the article that have also been reported on the fallout 76 subreddit:
1. The private worlds are not private or new. Users have reported loading these new worlds to find half of the stuff has been looted already and NPC's are dead suggesting these are re-used worlds
2. You cannot lock your private world so if somebody sees you are online and active they can just join your instance
3. Multiple players are reporting that they have deposited hundreds of units of scrap in these new boxes, only to find that the box has eaten it. The scrap disappears from the instance, and can’t be found again from re-logging or anything. It’s just gone
4. The rates for scrap collection have been nerfed too
Told me everything I need to know in the title of the video...why bother watching? If you want clicks, leave some mystery in your title. I've got better ways to spend 10 minutes.
