Angry Turtle just release this video. I think I had a reason at least to get to level 100 score board, at least. From what I see, they give a decent rewards for this season.

I'm curious about the weapon (Stop Sign)... are they will be like the scythe on season 17? That one is quite good in my opinion. To bad about CAMP resource generators though, locked on FO1st.

I guess their boardgame artists were fired as they continue with this ugly new UI design. and jeez, all those fallout 1st ads on every page you'd think they're desperate. are they actually not making enough money anymore?

They are desperate, and why they got sold to MS.
MS paid too much though.

Years ago "Back in the 10s" MS offered a deal to ZeniMax Media but they refused the offer as they did great back in the days, then later on "Start of 20s" MS offered another deal and as ZeniMax didnt do too well they agreed to being sold with all their children companys like Bethesda and others, i think however now MS is regretting buying ZeniMax Media and their companies.
MS said that ZeniMax and its children companies would remain seperated and could do what they wanted "more or less" but after several fails it seems like MS is moving more and more into ZeniMax and letting go of the old dev teams and putting in their own, trying to milk what they can before they will have to close down the studios as they dont profit at all from them, its really bad if we look at the cost to gain ratio, its down the hill.

Its no longer a question if bethesda is getting shut down, its now a question on when.

Just see what happened to Arkane Studio "Another ZeniMax children company"
It took one really bad game "Redfall" and they where gone.

With the big sale 2 weeks ago on steam, FO76 didnt gain more players in terms of player numbers 24 hour peak, normally a huge sale like that one would boost the player numbers from 1000 to 3000 but this time around it actually still went down in 24h peak player numbers, the hype is totally gone again from the TV-show.

My fair guess is that in 2025 if they dont see huge spikes in player numbers from the major updates like 4 star legendary and raiding to the new ghoul character & build, then my guess is we will see the shutdown of FO76 in 4Q 2025 or 1Q 2026.

That's grim, because if this is happened, it might happened to elder Scroll Online... Well, when they hit the farm, I just go to Cave of Moria then...

Just remember the game was originally sold as a buy-to-play and not a buy-to-subscribe. So there are limits they have to stay within or they might risk legal issues. But they will try to make it as inconvenient as possible to force a subscription out of you.

Yep things change, my first car gas was 33 cents a gallon, pack of smokes 25 cents, candy bars and 5 cents and a soda 10 cents, My first Cable 5.95 a month (an extra 3 bucks for the Playboy Channel). My first internet 9.95 month with 10 cents a minute for online. I remember saying when gas go's over 50 cents I will never drive again and quit smoking if a pack of smokes go's up to 50 cents. When gas went up I got a Motorcycle, still had to buy gas. But now a pack of smokes cost 2 and sometimes 3 times as much as gas. Everything is either higher or not at all anymore. But I do not miss my Netzero dial up at all. (on a party line of 4 also). Besides they said by 1980 we would all have Flying cars and hiding in our Bunkers because of Global Cooling. Still got my Ice pick just in case. Life -Life never changes. Unless you are Dead I guess.

Doubtful that will happen, Microsoft would replace the development team and continue producing the IPs vs shutting them down, they didnt aquire zenimax to just close up shop and toss everything in the bin, why do you think Microsoft is brow beating betehsda to work on new Fallout games, its because Microsoft knows its a big IP with a big following and people have been wanting a new single player Fallout since 76 came out. The last thing they would do is close up bethesda and shut down FO76 and abandon the IP.

Things do change and people need to realize if they dont spend something on this game it will get shut down, yes the game was sold as a buy to play game and not a subscription based game, but they still need money coming in and it seems like too many people on here just dont understand that, they have to push this Fallout First to ensure enough money comes in to keep the servers on and the game updated. Yet I see on here people cry about fallout first not realizing fallout first and people buying atoms are the ones keeping this game going.

Personally I dont know why more people dont get Fallout First, you get more for your money than buying atoms alone yet some of these people that denounce Fallout First are the same ones that have no problem dropping money on atoms here and there but would never drop a penny for Fallout First even though you get more atoms for your monthly subscription than you would just outright buying the atoms.

I miss the old season boards also. Even if they re-used the same ones it would be better than the current mobile friendly swipe version.

Level 765+ here and this is sad. I dropped 1st almost a year ago, no regrets. I didn't see one reward for 1st players that would be worth the sub. Also, those last two pages are very bad and I doubt I'll bother with the grind and play something else.

2 months ago I would have said I kinda like the new one-But now I must say I am really getting tired of flipping all the pages just to see what the hell or where the hell the item I was looking for is. Or going all the way to the end to see whats there again and again and again.

[4mysou1just1]

I've been asking for 6 years for the same things.
Not even a glimmer of hope yet!

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

Yes I hate companies who just want to make money and profit for their shareholders, need to nix them all. Who needs them anyway, this is all just a fad soon to fade.

Exactly, it was fresh and perhaps it could have been great, the issue is that it removed way too much without adding in anything to supplement the removal of features. If anything its a complete downgrade of the season system from before.

You dont see the double standart you wrote here? Saying one thing to my post but then when you wrote to Mole then you actually agree with my statement xD

EDIT:
Choosing another wording dosnt mean its a whole other meaning ;)

Bleeding money = close down at some point, its just that simple :)
So once again its not a question if its a question on when, do they have the money to continue to bleed them out for 1 year 2 years, 3 years or a couple of month only? Are they smart and close it before its too much money in the toilet or do they have the money to still take chances and possible bleed even more money out?
Again not a question of if, but on when :)

Bethesda has been bleeding money for years by now, and MS knows this Arkane spend too much on the failed game "RedFall" and got closed down because of this, if they can do it to a studio like Arkane that only made money in the past just because of a single bad game that bled money out, then they can and will do the same with Bethesda if nothing changes fast.
They could sell the Fallout IP to other studios, this has been done with other IP's aswell in gaming but also on movie IP's.

There was no double standard on my part. You are saying that Bethesda is going to be shut down by Microsoft and the game will cease to exist. I clearly told you, they wouldnt shut the game down they will replace the developers working on the game and keep the money coming in.

I dont know how you got it in your head that me telling Whack-A-Mole that this game needs to have some form of money coming in to keep it going is a double standard. It isnt and if you think it is then you probably need to refrain from commenting on things you know nothing about then cause I am most certainly not agreeing with you. My second post does not confirm that Bethesda and the game will disappear like you proudly proclaim which will happen anyways. It wont because Microsoft is the one pushing Bethesda to make more Fallout content, Microsoft will take over and keep Fallout around they would never simply toss it in the bin like you ignorantly think that they would.

So saying they need money from fo1 subs and so on in order to continue is not the same thing as saying if money continue to bleeds out then they wont be able to continue? Yeah sure i am the one not understand anything, have a great day and dont do drugs kids.

I am going to write it again, Arkane Studio, it took one game and it was over for them, even though they made top tier fan loved games, it was one bad game in the end, clearly they are able to just toss things away, i dont want to call you ignorant as you called me so ima stick to basic stupido.

1) I told you in the original post Microsoft will not shut this game down like you claim it will be by end of this year or end of next year. It just will not happen the IP will be kept around as Microsoft is urging Bethesda to make a new Fallout game, they will invest money into this game to revive it if it came to it to keep it around.

2) I did not say Betehsda is bleeding money, that is what you are claiming. I said Bethesda needs to make money to keep an online service going, we cant expect an online game to stay online if there is no money coming in. I do not buy into your wild claims that Betehsda is bleeding money and that they are bleeding money to the point this game will be shut down end of this year or next.

3) You need to refrain from this topic in the future, you are accusing me of saying things I never said and then proudly proclaiming I am agreeing with you when I dont. Not once have I agreed with anything you said.

4) ignorant is a non insulting word, calling me stupid as you just did is an insulting thing to say which kills your position and paints you as childish. Now run along kiddo this is derailing the topic at hand which is about Season 18 rewards, not your wild crazy ignorant ideas that Bethesda is bleeding itself dry and is fixing to go out of business along with Fallout 76 being shut down this year or next year.

I will do you a solid and just never speak to you again after this post, seems like the best option. Have a great day though :)

I have no problem with having conversations, I how ever dont stand for being accused of double speak nor being accused of agreeing with someone when I clearly and obviously did not agree with them.

If you can refrain from that there is no reason why there cant be a dialogue between us. There is just no reason for a back and forth argument like that was devolving into.
