What the heck?

[OutsidR]

Second time I came across this. Entering (first time) Morgantown airport, A siren starts sounding and shortly afterwards I hear a sound and thumping, shaking the whole area and ran into the nearest hut, until it quit lol. Second time entering, the alarm started again along with the thumping sound, ran into the same hut but this time I sneaked a peek out and saw a large flying thing, flying around making the flapping noise. Then I noticed a marker that said to fire a flare to the marker. Needless to say, I left the flare gun and flares at my camp :( ...

A quick explanation would help, and is this related to US requisition drop??

You met your first Scorchbeast (don't worry non hostile in Forest region).

It's part of event Collision Course.

[OutsidR]

Very good, thank you so much....................

lol ... , West Virginia, a place to discover ... !!!

Lol Yeah its a event proc that happens some times when people get near it. You don't need a flare, or flare gun you walk up to the motor to start the event officially. Once its done it pays you with some random reward bits, I think it can give you a blueprint as well as a random weapon around your level. Don't want to spoil it but I think I learned how to make a the hunting rifles from that event can't remember though.

But you will see them on the map all over the place if you play long enough each one has its own reward tables, eventually you start dart across map to farm them for blue print drops as well as caps and exp :P Oh and each one is diffrent it brakes up the montony especially the good ones with better rewards those you actually do with other players on the server, as some them have great turn outs like uraninum fevor.

wow./ just wow. you know this is part of the responders quests right? from the start of the game. down the road from the overseers tent, in flatwoods?

just saying the game leads you to these places and gives you the mission to goto the morgantown airport to investigate... markers, interior exploration... and the event. show piece of the scorched attack on the airport you listen to holos and read about.

i guess the game just dosent handhold players like other games... lets us just wander off down the road blissfully unaware of the need to get inoculated against the scorched plague
and how to follow the breadcrumbs... thanks one wanteland and wastelanders... appreciate you both screwing the start game content up so newer players stumble around for 30 levels before they get to the firebreathers.

What are you on about? There is always gonna people who do side stuff before the main quest line lol. Hell you don't even need to be given the vaccine or what ever ever in the game so really the main story line is for the gold at the end if that. I got an alt who is 40 never got inoculated yet, don't really need it, my goal is leveling up the toon, and getting their build where I want it, not doing the main story line. Heck he leveled faster just doing events and dailies then following the main quest line.

Game isn't suppose to hand hold you, its always been more of a sandbox. I mean just wow you don't get that, I guess you never really played any of bethesidias games. I mean I got 400 hours in skyrim and never did the main quest line to the end, FO4 I spent like 300 hours in it before I beat it the first time lol.

Always one these people who think its about speedrunning the main questline in a game literally you can never run out of levels in. I guess you are too use to linear hand holding games where you must do everything by x level or you are a failure lol. I mean with recent patches everything levels to match you, you could do the firebreathers section of the quest at 40 and guess what you will fight level 40s still, but I guess the devs got hold your hand pat you on the head then shout in your ear "PLAY HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY IT!" lol

Figures. Mr. Private Profile talking down to newer players. Try not being so condescending.

try reading the whole post. it has nothing to do with the op it has to do with how the makers ruined the start of the game with add ons. nice try though. try to not be so quick to post your arrogance.

There are always a certain number of people who do not follow the carrot on a stick in front of their nose, they go do their own thing.

just a baby scorched beast nothing to worry about

[SubsidedLemon]

People experience games different. That is a good thing. He got a nice experience and all we can do is argue over it.

Here is more on the Scorchbeasts (beware possible story spoilers!!)

The event the OP is referring to has always been there from the start, What are you even ranting on about?

[Stardustfire]

guess the problem discused here is that the revamp with the new main quests start with wastelanders wasnt so smart. i was puzzled myself why the broke up the new questline in a total different location direction than the old questline from before wastelanders. with most parts of the old one still ingering and waiting for the player in there old locations.

even before wastlanders it was stupid questlining. when you followed the responder way you normaly never visited the major of grafton in time, visiting that area only way after its level range or when you searched for new areas with survivable enemys to level up so you coud follow teh mainquest in higher level areas..

Some new players turn off the game when they hear a nuke launching. I think that's funny :p

roflol.... love ALL your opines and very much appreciate them all. Find them all very informative and being a long time follower of all Fallout games, except 1 and 2. I own them all including Merrowind and Skyrim and all their DLC's. thanks to the Bethesda fellows. I loved how their quest were set up with a beginning and actual ending and can see most things implemented in FO-76. Glad Mr Todd got his head out of you know where since his very bad start. Btw, I'm still learning...... Happy gaming fellow's/lady's..........:)
