5 years without a new map

[Wade]

I recently started playing Conan Exiles and it's really good. I think I'm hooked lol. Got bored with F76 because it's the same old map for 5 years now.

Not only that open world map in Conan Exiles is bigger than one in F76, but Conan Exiles also has a real DLC that costs only 20$ and it comes with additional map that is almost the same size as the main map.

On top of that you can freely download mod Savage Wilds that is even included on official servers, so basically you can play Conan Exiles on 3 different huge maps.

When I compare all this with F76 It is obvious that Bethesda has no intention of improving the game and making a new map. F76 is all about microtransactions and lame "free" updates that are not worth mentioning. Sad!

I've already proven my point - the Pitt is a new area, ie: "new map", that didn't exist 5 years ago.

It really doesn't matter if you think it's "not good enough". The Pitt is a new location in Fallout 76 - a new map.

Not sure why you're arguing with yourself, but The Pitt update for Fallout 76, the topic of this thread, was released in September of 2022 - only 7 months ago.

There is a simple reason they haven't devoted months or years to a new map.

New map takes a year to develop and test. It drops, and players speed run the new area in a week. Then they complain for the next year about not having anything new.

New events and small quests take 3 months to develop and players will do them over and over and over. With less screaming for new content.

It's not logical to drop large scale content.

No, they haven't made a new map because when the game came out everyone said they hated it and it wasn't fallout, so Bethesda said screw investing in it.

It's because BGSs resident landscape designer and location scout left before The Pitt was released/completed.

Nate Purkeypile was the person who would go to real locations and photograph them to add to the game(s). He was involved with the original Pitt expansion.

Without real world ideas to follow it becomes stale and I doubt BGS is willing to finance someone new to go on 'vacation' and location scout.

The Pitt we got with expeditions is all based on ideas and not reality, that makes it hollow. The Cathedral in Ashes to Fire seems to be based on St. Pauls but in actuality a Dev has mentioned it is based on The Cathedral of learning. But without placing it in an actual city it is just a boring location.

So unless they are able to do 'realistic' cities again by hiring/promoting a new location scout I don't want to see any new maps as they will be bland and generic.

Edit: I'm wrong about the Cathedral claim as it is actually from FO3 and Haven.

What was your favorite contribution to the Fallout series? I’ve worked on Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76, so I’ve got quite a few favorite contributions! I got to build the Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh for our Pitt expansion. I went to college in Pittsburgh and used to spend hours staring at that building from the stairs of a spot near my dorm room. (Fun fact, the area is called Haven because that was the name of the house my friends all lived in) I made the Nuka Cola Power Armor skin as part of a Game Jam, and it’s been very cool to see how much people enjoyed that. Lastly, I was thrilled I got to put rhododendrons in Fallout 76. It’s West Virginia’s state flower, so it was super important to me that we put that in.

I guess I better go to the Conan Exiles discussion and start talking about how great Fallout 76 is now.

[Raynn von Valancius]

I have a little over 400 hours on Conan Exiles. It's a pretty good game, but the normal Funcom jank is very apparent. Most of my time came before they 'revamped' (aka bugged the ever living ♥♥♥♥ out of) the purge mechanic.

Could have easily put in close to 1000 hours on CE, if only Funcom hadn't screwed the pooch and went for the microtransactions instead of actually fixing the game. The mount riding alone is so buggy you're sure to get whiplash in real life.

As far as 76 goes, wasn't here at the beginning. Heard the reviews, saw the ridiculousness on vids, and avoided tossing hard earned money at a hair brained idea. Now, I feel like this game is actually pretty damn good. It's simply Fallout with multiplayer and more daily 'purpose'. And it makes me a tad sad that I missed the first 11 seasons, even if deep down I know I probably wouldn't have made it through all the crashing/bugs like some of the players did.

Think it comes down to the fact that Conan is new to you. It was like that for all of us when we started. Even today, when I stand above my castle wall and watch the sun rise as Basil Poledouris' music plays in the background, I get a little misty eyed. Conan Exiles could have been so damn amazing and completely cornered the 'survival' market. But Funcom....

sounds promising
any word going around plasma rifles will get introduced in future updates?

they would probably make another extension like the Pitt,
but if they do... less dark. I'm not asking for nuka world happy happy...which i also like,
but maybe something of a combination.
id like the New Orleans bayou map extension like they did for Falllout 3. lol

They have room on the current map to extend in multiple directions, but so far they've only been altering existing locations with updates or adding content to the existing map. Think Crater, Nuka World, Fort Atlas, Foundation, Eviction Notice and Moonshine Jamboree events.

it would be enjoyable to get new fallout 76 map content, it is nice that the map was recently updated with nuka world tour, buta complete new area would be even better

At this stage just forget about FO76. Want new stuff? Give Fallout 4: London a look, due out later this year.

https://youtu.be/01ugRiv8e_U

Will be a free mod for Fallout 4 owners. Has working train/subway system. Has vehicles in bikes and boats. Has new weapons with different gimmicks. Has working ladders!

The officially paid BGS employees haven't even come close to some of the innovations of unpaid mod developers...

Why give money to mediocre when you can get exceptional for free?

[Wade]

I will definitely try Fallout London if it ever gets completed.
