veranet99: Multiple crashes per day, getting one-hitted even though I'm armored out the wazoo, perk cards that seem to stop working.

kavalogue: It's so fun adapting to the constant changes that ensure my equipment I've spent hours or day's getting doesn't work, the never ending cycle of doing as I'm told and being punished is great guys. I love Todd Howard.

TJCeeJay: Wasn't it just two major updates ago that Bugthesda acknowledged that the community was getting sick of the constant reworking of the weapons, armor, and perks? Didn't they also say that they heard us, and would take a break from the constant destruction of builds people spent months or years perfecting? What happened to that?

i_am_maxis: Whats the point of patch notes if they have stuff not in the patch notes

tinynichols3933: Server population is way down after the patch people a lot of players dropped out

The-House-of-Seven: If you told me a year ago that Naked was going to be the ONLY Fallout 76 creator with the balls to speak the truth on the state of the game I'd have said you were nuts. What bothers me more than the state of the game is how every other creator is more concerned with getting a free copy of the next game than being truthful with their communities.

Boosted_Jay87: I been get shot one time and dying with full heath.

Alex.Kandmor: Something I have noticed is the perks that repair your armor and guns randomly, it rarely happens now. A week ago I rarely had to repair my guns/armor on my own, now all of a sudden it rarely triggers the perks

Rorschach1998: Enemies with a gatling laser do way too much damage after the ohio update.

AlysandirDrake: I get that Beth is doing wholesale rebalancing, but speaking as someone who spent years as a stealth VATS commando, the fact that the build went from being meta to not even competitive was extremely jarring. When I compare what throughput I can maximize as a stealth VATS commando compared to a Furious rifleman - with the SAME weapon - it's not even remotely close. And I won't even mention that VATS itself got nerfed and continues to have infuriating bugs where damage numbers appear but no damage is taken. Beth seems to just be throwing things against the wall and seeing what sticks.

joeb2920: "Center Masochist perk" may be bugged too. On the Pip boy it'll always say " 25% damage to torso" even if you have a 75% perk card equipped.

LuxorVan: I've noticed over the past few months you get more rads in secret service underarmor and pa, it increased after the patch even more. When you get attacked by several ghouls "even with what rads le" or wearing pa collecting ore during radiation rumble.

TonyHoneycutt: I'm annoyed with the spawn time of raiders in the burning springs. I practically have to be on top of them before they appear.

otissinamoi4430: Glad they added the new mods for the Dom Pedro (even though the barrel looks bad) the gun has some of the worst damage drop off with range I’ve seen so anything that’ll help with that and it’s accuracy is a good thing. They did however manage to mess up camp building as well, players who unlocked things like the company tea machine and the popcorn machine via bullion rather than atoms currently cannot place those items. I unfortunately found that out the hard way when rearranging my camp so now I can’t have my tea or my popcorn until they fix it :(

johnnyboy8498: Your overall statement is accurate. The tweaks are no longer "balance" but adjustments because they don't like people taking advantage of one thing or another. Sadly what happens is they turn one knob and it loosens half a dozen other ones and they just shrug it off like "Oh well"

I've also noticed my weapons seemingly are doing less damage overall on enemies. It's like enemies all got a buff.

lowriderbug: I have noticed since the update my sneak walking speed is a lot slower as if the perk is not working anymore. Also the condition icon on weapons when repaired to double condition no longer shows the extra line.

mr.edplayssimgames1836: I do read them, But I don't remember them for long. I'm 76 Years old and match the game number. lol

KaijuSlayer54: We're watching Bethesda kill Fallout 76 by their own hands in real time

theodorenewell3225: i dont play much anymore because of nerfs around my build. this game is dying because one figures out their build then it gets a nerf

perceivedvelocity9914: I personally believe that there are people at Bethesda who are creating problems, so that they can solve the problems. They ruin gameplay to avoid layoffs. They want to appear as essential staff when the inevitable cuts come.

numericaldust4712: I definitely feel squishy after the patch.

melissawebb2600: They still need to fix the visit all locations challenge issue in burning springs though

TheSnakeIsSolid1: I just noticed Sentinel was destroyed.

Hervoo: You know, I think some poor dev decided to throw that weapon change just to make people happy, but didn't mentioned it since higher-ups would get mad

davidburnett5049: Your point about waiting is good.

"I'm gonna wait for the build to coalesce and then I'll play again" Gets easier to say when they nerf your favorite gun and introduce a nice helping of new bugs that breaks things you were using(new tab, camp building stuff)

Bobbyspags: I went from soloing Queens and Imposters to rag-dolling like launch from a single grenade explosion.

Shits gone sideways for sure
