Which, over the past few months with Wild Appalachia, has led me to play nearly every week.
I'm a pretty casual Fallout 76 player at this point, and I tend to only play when there's been something new added to the game. While Fallout 76 still doesn't officially support player-made mods, they definitely are aware of them and what they represent.
So we're trying our best to react in smart and fast enough ways, both smart and quickly, to those concerns."īut forums aren't the only place Bethesda looks for community feedback. "We read the forums," Gardiner says, "we read the comments, we understand there's been disappointment with the game, and there's also been problems. The regular update schedule didn't just add new features but lots of fixes and tweaks based on player feedback, which Bethesda watches closely along with their own internal list of desired improvements. They're also seeing players who had purchased the game last year returning to check out the new content added by Wild Appalachia. I ask Gardiner about player numbers, but he isn't able to give me anything specific, other than saying that the numbers are "very healthy" and that the playerbase is stable. People go into the game and part of their gameplay is to help other players to succeed and enjoy the game."
"We have such a great positive community in this game, it's actually sort of astounding. "The community really is looking for ways to interact with each other more," says Gardiner. With no traditional player hub in Fallout 76, and with player camps not marked on everyone's maps, there wasn't a great way for players to meet and congregate at each other's bases, something players desperately wanted and something vending machines now allow for nicely.
Player vending machines were another community request, though Gardiner says Bethesda had already been considering it themselves. Early on, players wanted a way to know if they already owned a particular recipe when shopping at a vendor, so Bethesda added a 'known' tag to vendor menus back in January. Other requested changes from the community didn't require quite so much deliberation. ".we understand there's been disappointment with the game, and there's also been problems."
