A spit from the developers at the players who have been playing Fallout 76 since its release.

[Geastrum]

I devoted 4 years to this game and I think that the Legendary Weapon did not introduce a strong imbalance into the game.
Only Gatling Plasma could be removed from Legendary weapons because it was really powerful in terms of damage under certain conditions and perks.
I am the player who had the Laser Automatic Explosive Carbine and the Dual Explosive Flamethrower, and only used them when playing solo or assisting players in the event (Eviction). But in other events like (Radioactive Brawl) or similar where there are small enclosed spaces, a Tesla carbine was used.
Once I collected a resistant set -90% of the weight of weapons on my character about 30 units of different types of weapons, although I had the Legendary Weapon that I received at the events at the release of the game, I liked to use it very much, for example: Radium carbine, Cryolator, or Enclave Plasma...

Developers better keep an eye on cheating weapons and those who used a stack of weapons and chemistry through a broken connection (lag switch), such weapons had high damage, such players prevented others from playing events by killing the Legendary Boss in a few shots and this was not a Legendary Weapon!
The Legendary Weapon was removed, but the imbalance in the game remained, in recent events, players use the Automatic 40mm Grenade Launcher with the Double Shot effect, and other players, in order to be on an equal footing with those who already have it, will start looking for such weapons. Owners of this weapon with explosion and grenade launcher perks under drugs and mushroom soup + 50% critical damage in V.A.T.S. in power armor (- damage from players) destroy all mobs at events, preventing other players from playing, which we eventually get everyone who was at the event (Radioactive Brawl) saw the result, it's just some kind of Chaos happens when several people start shooting with such a weapon.

Developers, you simply have no respect for the old-timers of the game who have been playing since the release of the game! You have repeatedly fixed the damage on (Bloody Weapon),
You have destroyed Pistolman perks, thus preventing some of your audience from using the Slugbore Pistol, and possibly wanting to play...
You destroyed the servers and the PVP mode, and this is only a small part of what annoys the players and makes them lose interest in the game!
Each time you make a simple simplified version of a unique game, the game does not feel the spirit of survival that was at the beginning of your journey, you have simplified many mechanics, for example, take ammo loot, there are cartridges for the right weapon in every box! There is no full-fledged system of hunger and thirst that could destroy the character. The player constantly has a large amount of RadAway and Stimpaks, this is not normal in a game like this!

You just once again broke off our wings, for experienced players the game has become meaningless, for those players who have supported you for many years since the release!
P.S. Now, if I'm blown into the game, I have only one desire to pick up an Automatic 40 mm grenade launcher with the effect of Double Shot and smash everything to hell ...

For those players who thought that the whole problem with killing Legendary Bosses quickly was the Legendary Weapon, I'll disappoint you, the problem lies much deeper ...
All quick kills were done through a stack of damage on weapons with these properties: Mutant, Aristocrat, Giant, which did not even have an explosive effect...
Video example, how Tesla through a stack of damage by breaking the connection (lag switch) received one million damage. Watch and draw your own conclusions before gloating and calling the owners of the Legendary Weapons whiners.

I owned two legacies. Glad they're gone.

Cry harder, griefer.

Get wrecked. No one cares about your hacked weapons.

The reason Bethesda instituted the legacy removal was because of crybabies who thought "The game isn't fair" or had you forgotten who was really crying?

As for calling anyone with a legacy a griefer, you still haven't learned to read, eh? Here, my mistake; I thought you were more advanced:

If that's still too advanced for you, maybe you should try a simpler language.

If you are replying, that means *you* care.

As for hacked, you should check out the many posts about hacked weapons NOT being removed. It was legacy weapons that were removed. You should try some reading lessons.
You know how to use Google, don't cha?

paragraphs are your friend!


edit:
so now that you have paragraphed your rant i can finally read it.

i am very disappointed to find its just another whine about over powered weapons that shouldnt have been in the game finally being removed.

we get it, you can no longer claim to have a huge epeen cause your over powered weapons got removed.

guess you now have to learn how to play the game properly!

Open your profile, I will see how many hours you have played this game before teaching me the right game. We will see if the teacher is experienced with you or not! Perhaps we will take lessons on the correct style of play ...
You can freeze your video to show your gameplay...

My message was different, that people without legendary weapons will find a loophole to prevent others from playing and there will also be whiners like you who accuse others of dishonest play, who want to teach how to play correctly ...

The legendary weapon has been with us since the release of 4 years and yes it was removed, and I wrote that it was not my main weapon. It had to be removed in the first months after realizing that this weapon was superfluous in the game.

And you're just being clever without understanding the meaning, reading through the lines... can you record a video of me playing? Maybe you can learn from me...

Yes, experienced players are offended, because one star was removed from the legendary weapon, would you like it if one star was removed from your three star weapons and turned into a two star one?
I'm sure not!
That's the whole point and attitude of developers towards players and players who have not received such a result, so you will never understand us and you will only be smart and giggle!

But now, when the developers have removed the legendary weapon and, like, made equal conditions for all players, what are you rejoicing about now, suddenly a pump-action shotgun without stars appeared in the atom shop for atoms, which, at the whim of the developers, is capable of shooting at 120 meters, and it can be made legendary on a workbench.
And what happens: the developers decided to sell for real money exactly the same weapon only capable of shooting better...

And what should we do, for example, with the exact same legendary shotguns we received earlier, hand it over to the machine like garbage?
After all, he shoots at a maximum of 75 meters, and the new one at 120 meters!
Do you understand the point?

What the developers want to do is not clear ...
Sell weapons for atoms?
Shut off black trade in the community, as it was before?
At this pace, developers will start selling all weapons for atoms, which will differ in some respects from what you will find in the game...

What about experienced players?
It is impossible to get atoms, because all the tasks have already been completed, it remains only to buy atoms for real money in order to play on equal terms with beginners, so what happens...
And what is the difference between that Legendary Weapon and the New Legendary Weapon with the best indicators for atoms ...

The answer is the player is again put in unequal conditions, tied to the monetary system or don't play, especially if it's PVP.
P.S. What will happen next is not clear, but there are already the first premises for this, whoever pays more has the advantage, about PVP, I generally keep quiet, this is a separate issue and the pain of this game!

Can't hear you, you're crying too much, Legacy Spammer.

Also, The Explosive Energy weapons got duped to hell, and back in 2019, and 2020, which was the reason behind the server instability at the time.

So, again. Cry harder.

[DtHouse]

They removed 2 or 3 years ago the explosive energy as drop because they notice during the beta that this type of weapons wasn't meant to come out, so they fixed it. If you go see the old forum (if still someone have some page saved maybe) you can see that almost all the player asked to remove all that weapons the same day they fixed the drop with the patch. All of this mess just come out because they waited to much. If you still want explosive energy weapons you can play modded fallout 4 and make your own legacy.

I disagree, the legacy removal was never about players complaining, everyone complained for 3 years and nothing happen

What triggered the legacy removal was the deal with Microsoft and the sudden requirement of having a balanced game, the "old devs" of fallout 76 that "coded" the game are long gone, and this new "batch" of "new devs" are not on the same level, you can clearly see that with the latest patches and updates, countless weird bugs from "newbie" mistakes.

The "new devs" just cant get to understand the "energy explosive damage" and how to balance it, they could totally "remove the OP raw damage" from the "legendary roll" but leave the effects and the 2nd star, allowing everyone to keep their legacies without the extreme damage, making them more of a collectors item than event smasher

The easiest way out was to remove all energy explosive legendary rools to save time and acomodate to miscrosofts demands

Regardless of what everyone thinks,and all the theories, having them removed was far better than keeping them around

Well....no offence, but what's the big deal then? What are you going to miss?

they miss having the over powered EPEEN

[AI-Maggot]

Do you all get the distinct difference between hacked/glitched weapons and Legacies?

Legacies - Bethesda put them in. Then changed their mind after people started duping them. People who had them were not Criminals, Bethesda put the damn things in, in the first place!!! Stop acting like you're all better than the people who had these things.

Hacked weapons are those that Bethesda never wanted to allow in the first place.

I think it's ridiculous that Bethesda can't tell the difference. Nobody really likes hacked weapons. But there is no one to blame for the Legacies except Bethesda itself.

All I know for sure is that Bethesda needs to figure out what they want in the game and stop throwing stuff in only to remove it later. For instance, Excavator Jet packs showed up with plans and people were paying for the plan and using the jet packs. Then Bethesda decides they don't like them, and now people can't make them anymore. As far as whether the current incarnation is better or worse....... Try doing Colossal Problem. Good Luck.

And as it turns out now, they may not be removing Legacies permanently apparently. They are just going to start selling them in the Atomic Shop? So, the whole problem really was that Bethesda wasn't getting all the money for them. Thanks Todd.

Sorry that you suck so much that you, and 4 other guys can't clear Colossal Problem. I was able to do it just fine. Took 15 minutes, but I'm okay with that. Means I got a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ more exp killing the wendigos that spawn. If you think that's too long, then your legacy spamming spoiled your view of the game. Start a fresh character, and level them up from scratch to feel how the game's actually supposed to play.

A shotgun with 120 range, and a neat paintjob being compared to legacies is laughable. Explosive Energy Legacies needed to be removed. Sucks about the more useless collectors ones, like stalker's rolling pins, but they're a small price to pay to clear the OP weaps that mulched events.

Also, most explosive energy weaps that were in circulation before the removal were injected, or duped. The chances that anyone here owned a legitimate one are slim to none.

Thats not right they removed them from droplist cause of the energy explosion exploit bug , the explosive perk never worked on energy weapons like intended , so they seen them self to remove the weapon untill they find a solution , but cause of the steadingly falling competence on the destingated dev team a working solution gone more and more impossible .
