not a map expansion, sad panda

[Nekochan]

fills in a blank spot on the existing map, no real map expansion :(

[PotatoBasket]

I have a blanket to share until they do

[RMPyro]

They added map a expansion on the public test server and a new mainquest will be added soon in may on the pts, so in a half year maybe they release it. The area will be the same size as the other zones on the map.

Spoiler warning, but not story spoilers.

I'm going to have to check the PTS to see if Gramps retirement castle is safe...

I really hate changes to the base map as they always threaten camp locations. It's the one reason a real expansion would have been preferred, not an overwrite...

I have zero faith in these developers adding anything 'good'. They do not need to expand the Map, they need to expand the story. There are so many locations that need interiors already..

And 100% do I expect a new Cash Shop in relation to all this 'expansion'..

and we get to go threw the whole "DO I NEED TO BUY THE MAP EXPANSION BUNDLE TO GET THE MAP EXPANSION"
reading descriptions is hard.

Played through it a bit.

It's more interesting than you'd expect.

But it isnt what we want, is it? Not a continuation of existing Story Lines, no clearing up of Lore issues creaded by other content..

It's what I want.

Story is a one-and-done deal. It takes far longer to make than it does to play it. You push through the entire story in an afternoon before going right back to doing what you were doing before. I'd much rather have new, repeatable content.

Aye, that and a competently written Story Expansion. Both things these developers are terrible at.

#1 thing I've hated in all fallout games, boarded up impassible empty houses and buildings. That is some industrial grade A plywood someone used.

[DigiAngel]

Yea not yet....I signed up for the trail fallout 1st, got the ammo and junk containers, moved everything over, got my daily goody, and signed out. Still can't bring myself to play this game as there's not a thing new here. I DO hear a new area will be out soon though...I'll be playing again when that comes out.

[EVILE-VON-OVERKILLE]

Repeatable content is the future of gaming...will there be great story games still?
Sure!!!
But the roll with the times or get rolled over.
RC is gonna be common place like it or not.

[Mazurka]

was kind of sad when i saw the map, but i think its a slight expansion - i saw someone's marker near the edge of the map, which would be invisible wall on the current map.
if anything, it opens the door to more map expansions...hopefully real ones

It took them 4-6 months for them to implement both parts of the Steel Dawn/Reign storylines, and they had to delay Wastelanders for roughly a year before they felt it was ready. A year to implement what they are promising sounds normal for Bethesda. In some ways, it sounds generous considering what we have seen in the expansion so far and what the previous major updates/expansions added.
