I thought the map was expanding?

I play solo, so the expeditions feel like a giant waste of resources. Is that really all the new content I have to look forward to? Expeditions? . .

*More expeditions aren't really a priority, since people don't love them; that's changing a bit with AC (I hope) and the greater story content/mini-games they've given us so far. Making Daily Ops the grind factor and Expeditions seasonal story forays seems to be a solid plan if they can align the mechanics for gamer-enjoyment-gold.

Okay its still coming I thought the new quest line for atlantic city was it at first x.x ty.

thanks for this update. was thinking about playing this again with the wife but was wondering about the state of the game. I think i might wait until the map expansion gets released.

We first played shortly after they added the Robot NPCs in the first major update. I think we stopped when the first season pass came out.

Bethesda hates all of us and they only care about milking the Whales in any way they can with the least amount of game development effort.

I'm pretty 100% that's not why the devs do what they do. I may be a Potato but a Potato that is pushed to a far plainer lifestyle due to constantly being surrounded by nerds (Nearly every member of my family is involved with computer soft/hardware) Gaming programmers make literally three times less the amount of salary as other fields within the software industry. additionally if you're not with a big studio it's hit or miss whether your game somehow succeeds on its own or gets picked up by a bigger studio; keeping the lights on and their family fed is kinda vital. I romanced a tech or two a while when I was younger and from the accounts of one in specific I've gathered the industry can be pretty hellish if you're a lady, too.

Bethesda, itself, though? Got no words to defend the corporate overlords, CEOS, and other salary-inflated (expletives),

I defy you to find even one example of Bethesda doing the right thing for its consumers from the start. They hate us, it shows and we can prove it over and over and over.

That is a class S quest, sir.
Given your feels for me personal I'm sure it would end for me with a warped camp and a long fall to a fast end so that's a no for me, dawg.
No argument here

I have no feels about you. I know Bethesda. I have been dealing with them a very very long time. Giving them the 'Benefit of the Doubt' has allowed Bethesda to screw over the players again and again. They Lie, Misrepresent, Bait and Switch and on and on and on.

The development team behind 76 are a bunch of no talent hacks. Dredged up from whatever bottom barrel DEI scrubs they can get away with.

I do appreciate your pointed dispassion; respect.

I also see your frustrations have grown, along with your exhaustion. All the same it's good to see people more senior than myself posting again, even if we don't agree on much.

I still say that more than being "talentless" it is more a fault of direction, management, and marketing. I do stand by tech-level Beth employees; they're literally the game's heroes, and they're keeping the game going even if it could be done in a better fashion... it is the fault of the studio reputation and big wigs that 76 has been so poorly maintained.

Don't blame our men-at-arms for the nobility's corruption

Yeah, I guess they are expanding, but several years late and when the game is near end of its life circle... So much time and resources wasted on stupid Expeditions that nobody wanted anyway. But they never listen.

Well said PB.

But the Elys and Jyes (devs) of this world wear the same uniform as the Todds and Emils. They will be judged as the same entity.

A sporting team that fails it is usually the coach that is fired...

The 76 Developers have talent in making Cash Shops, everything else is trash and low effort.
