Having ton of new players legit actually sucks...
...If you are a high level. Tried doing scorched earth today, it was nothing but noobs. Couldn't kill the beast in the time limit. What a waste of my time and resources.

Can the braindeads at Bethesda have not thought out to make separate servers for all the new players and let the higher levels stick to their own? Its called instancing/layering, MMOs have been doing it since the mid 2000s - get a clue you inept coding amateurs.

Well just craft endangerol syringers and hand them out like candy

if they all shoot her you'll be doing 10k+ per hit in damage

Boohoo cry more.

More new players will encourage developers to put more resources into a thriving game, a game you like to play.

You can just leave an event if your surrounded by low level players.

"...nothing but noobs" but the OP was there... ifso factso... they are also a noob?

Never expect anyone to do anything you can't do yourself. In this case kill the SBQ in the time limit.

It's funny cause I consider myself a fairly new player and have roughly same amount of hours as OP lol

My issue isn't that there are new players. I think that's great. The issue is how stupidly Bethesda handled the servers with recent influx of players. High levels don't want to be stuck on a map with everyone 50-150 levels below them all the time.

Get better coders already FFS , didn't Microsoft just buy you guys or something?

...why is this such an issue? if you are non-noob, soloing SBQ is a non issue. Just freeze that sh up, criple its wing, and burn them.

Seems like a non-issue.

You have a superiority complex issue.

That's not Bethesda fault, the public forums reddit etc, most of the community seems to enjoy helping out the new players.

what happened to those high level players who could solo that sqq this is a dumb complaint since I launch those missles every day, and plenty of new players hep defeat the sbq under 10 mins

No putting players randomly onto servers is a networking oversight. It's not fun to be the only level 100+ on a server and having to waste time server hoping. It is one thing to server hop to check different vendors and camps but to have to do it to find players to group with for certain events etc is pretty annoying - if only they had a competent network coder that knew how to layer servers according to level ranges...well that might be too much to ask of BGS.

Superior complex issue is your problem :lol:

Why would it need to be classified as an "Oversight", just because you don't like it?

That's the entire point of the game, it's not rank-based shooter something, it's just wasteland with random people and you get random server.

I think the majority of player would want random wasteland with random players, not controlled environment crap.

i logged in even with the new FPS drops and saw that most of the server is below level 30, 1 lvl 70 and me at lvl 600+

But you just wrote another post explaining how much you like to kill new players? Bored already?

If a player is high level than even 500 levels lower isn't a big deal.

My recommendation would be to read the server before triggering the SBQ or Earl. If there aren't a couple teams with mid level players mixed in, then you might consider not dropping a nuke and enjoy other aspects of the game, like helping a noob with Tea Time. Or, if you really want to drop a nuke then you should probably try server hopping until you can find a fluffy server full of veterans. They do exist. I stayed far away from the bog when I first started because I thought for sure it was full of bears and creepy things!
