Does the game gets boring after reaching certain level?
I've downloaded the game two days ago and played 38 hours, i'm loving it so far despite i only levelled up from 20 to 30.
I wanted my own power armor station and grinding mole miners' black titanium for the excavator PA quest wasn't easy.
Here's why my question:
While playing, I encountered very difficult situations that took me hours but I noticed level +250 +500 +1000 players literally minigunning powerful enemies in seconds.
I wasted half an hour, a ton of ammo, and broke my 3 main weapons trying to kill a level 30 legendary (1 star) sheepsquatch.
What is the point of continuing to play when there is no longer any difficulty?
I am aware that the monsters have your level but still, I noticed that they kill them very easily from my POV.
Literally that Simpson's meme where Krusty shows Lisa how to record lines. ''Bada bing bada boom I’m done! Learn from a professional, kid!''

sheepsquatch is an easy kill for me because I got good 3 star weapons, you are only like level 30 so your weapons are bad until you reach level 45 or 50.

Most content in this game is fairly easy but there are several enemies that you should be avoiding until you get a more complete build and better weapons and armour. Sheepsquatch is one of them.

Events are good as usually there are others there to help against the harder enemies. Enemies like sheepsquatch solo at level 30 is just going to waste all your ammo and be a frustrating experience.

My recomendation would be just to quest and level up and get perks to complete your build and try to get better weapons and armour after Lv 45-50 when item levels max out.

Sure it gets boring after a point which is going to be different for everyone. I have over 2000 levels over all my characters and i have greatly reduced my playtime as i cannot forever keep doing the same things over and over. I have done it all and tried so many different builds I feel like there is nothing left to do really.

I finish a scoreboard in about 4 weeks by taking my time then take the next 2 months off basically to be refreshed for the next one.

It would take a much longer time to get fully bored of the game especially considering that a lot of new quests are added new weapons, plus with the punchcard machine you can save multiple different types of builds and swap out between them if you ever get bored I’ve created multiple characters and I enjoy starting over every now and then from the ground up, also even once you’re at level 50 you’re technically ready for everything that doesn’t mean you’re not going to be able to progress working hard to level up the legendary perks alone will take a lot more time than the end initial levels towards 50

I won’t say you won’t get bored because obviously there’s a limit but if you return to it every now and again I think you’d be surprised

Course what do I know I’ve only ever gotten to level 120 but combine across my multiple characters I’ve leveled up over 250 times

Not a lvl no, once you build to limit, and have done the events 100x, then it gets boring, the fact that there is no end game really, rears its ugly head, then you start to feel the CHORE BORED grind, and yeah. . . it's just the same crap over and over, cosmetics and housing items.

Before you know it you'll be complaining about expeditions and saying "when tf are we going to get questing content!?" or. . . "When tf are you going to expand the map!?" etc.

Then the fresh crop of hopefuls can throw stones at you for your sin.

Depends what you play for, what turns you off, and what you find fun.

If you play past level 200-300 chances are you enjoy the game enough to keep playing provided adequate update - like any online game. Only PvP or similarly mindless platforms rely on the same "content" being viable. After 5k hours I still play provided the season and social environs are reasonable at the time; it really depends on they players themselves rather than levels or hours.
I don't think it gets boring per say, but you REALLY need to be able to find your own fun or enjoy doing the same things over and over again to (hopefully) get plans for things you're missing. I have a buddy to play with on a private server, which makes the game significantly more enjoyable.

Also, this game is laughably easy once you figure things out. an overwhelming vast amount of enemies are built like soggy paper and get melted with even the least optimized builds. The enemies that are tankier are just arbitrarily "difficult" by having insane damage reduction, insane amounts of HP or deal an insane amount of damage. Public events just consists of players mowing down hundreds of enemies without thinking or trying.

The only reason you'll ever continue playing is for the new, low quality content that's dropped every few months. A lot of it is nothing burgers than be ignored with the exception of the scoreboard, which you definitely should try to complete if you have enough time. If you don't get something from scoreboard, expect to never see it again as this game deploys heavy FOMO to keep players engaged.

Enjoy the early levels and learning things, definitely the most fun part of the game.

For me it isn't tied to level. Rather, it is due to completing nearly all of the solo content.

That solo content is fun, and kept me going nearly 400 hours. But once it was all done, I was left with basically three things to do

Chase gear
Chase legendary perks
Events

My problem is the events just aren't interesting enough. It's not that they aren't fun, it's always a blast playing with others, and the combat can be insane. And fun. But the way events work makes them lose their luster quickly.

I'd like to see a different sort of event, similar in concept to capture the flag. What gets old about events is their static nature. Each is rather like a shooting gallery, all of the action compressed in a small area, which creates satisfying mayhem, but just standing around shooting everything that moves is not particularly compelling gameplay.

The capture the flag concept would mean a much larger event area, with players starting on one end, with the objectives some distance away at the other end. The participants would need to fight their way forward over that distance against swarms of enemies and defensive positions, each death returning you to the start line. This would bring fire and maneuver in to the equation, give players that go light some advantage with their mobility, ranged players would be valuable in the mix taking out targets at distance, and heavies would be the vanguard. Tactics and teamwork required for success.

I'm not suggesting we do away with what we have, but that 76 needs to evolve the event concept in to something more compelling.

Boring is subjective. You'll eventually reach a level that you'll have all the perks and the equipment you'll want. You'll then be limited to events, wandering around aimlessly and farming materials, if that's a thing. So, yeah, there is a point that the game will become boring but it varies from person to person.

Absolutely. Once you're done with all the quests and maxing faction reputation, the game is basically over. The endgame loop gets boring fast...unless you're not 100% geared up, then there's that at least.
