FALLOUT 76: INSIDE THE VAULT – STEEL DAWN DEV DIVE & NOVEMBER EVENTS (Re-Print from Bethesda)

This week, we’re sharing a new Dev Dive video, where we sat down with Fallout 76 developers to take a deeper look at the upcoming Steel Dawn questline that’s coming with an update in December. We’re also kicking off a new “Hunt for the Treasure Hunter” event a little later today, and sharing details on anniversary events taking place in-game next week. Read on for all the details.

CATCH AN EARLY LOOK AT STEEL DAWN QUESTS

The Brotherhood of Steel is returning to Appalachia in our Steel Dawn Update that’s on its way to Fallout 76 in December. Alongside the group’s arrival, we’re adding the first part of an all-new questline to the game, where you’ll rendezvous with the Brotherhood to learn what they’re doing here and how you can lend a hand with their efforts. Recently, we sat down with Mark Tucker and Brianna Schneider from the Design Team to chat about the new quests, characters, locations, rewards, and much more. Watch our latest Dev Dive video below to hear Mark and Brianna’s thoughts from the development perspective, catch footage from the new questline, and to get prepped for patch day next month.

As a reminder, those of you who own a PC copy of Fallout 76 through Bethesda.net can join us in the Public Test Server (PTS) to try out the Steel Dawn questline right now. Play through the new quests and let us know what you think by posting in the PTS forum. In case you missed it, we also released a Dev Dive video last week that focused on our upcoming C.A.M.P. Shelters feature, and you can head here to check it out.

HUNT FOR THE TREASURE HUNTER THIS WEEKEND

The community did an excellent job driving Treasure Hunter Mole Miners back into the depths after they emerged last month—but they’re a persistent bunch. We’ve detected another surge in Mole Miner activity on the surface, and we believe they are planning to continue plundering the Wasteland’s hidden riches this weekend. It’s time to grab your gear and prepare for another “Hunt for the Treasure Hunter” event, which begins a little later today. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for Treasure Hunter Mole Miners throughout Appalachia, and take them down to claim some of their loot for yourself by opening the Mole Miner Pails they drop. If you’d like, you can also purchase Empty Mole Miner Pails from vendors using Caps, and then head to your Tinker’s Workbench to craft full Mole Miner Pails that you can open to get some more loot. Keep in mind that higher-quality Pails offer better chances at rare rewards, and we will see you on the hunting grounds!

Event Start: 12:00 p.m. ET on November 5
Event End: 12:00 p.m. ET on November 9

Why are Reddit Fallout Network Discord Moderators Tracking and Naming Fallout 76 Players?

A bit of a serious question here – Reddit Fallout Network Discord Moderators (among others) keep public blacklists. These blacklists typically list the In-Game Names, Discord Names, and full Discord ID’s of Fallout 76 Players they feel have ‘ripped people off’ or ‘scammed them or even just annoyed them. Since there’s no Bethesda employees, it scares me to think that ‘anonymous reddit people’ on the biggest Fallout 76 Discord are storing the information of Fallout 76 players, and using it to ‘name and shame’ whoever they please, without any evidence whatsoever.

I’m not sure why people who want to roleplay as raiders, and actually DO manage to trick Fallout 76 Players into parting with their goods (when they could all use the in-game vending machines instead), should really be punished, named, and shamed, and tracked by the reddit fallout network discord moderators?

In fact I am pretty sure that is against the new Zenimax terms of service, right there! So why is this unknown group of ‘moderators’ allowed to track Fallout 76 Players on a SUPER busy Discord, one of the biggest. And what happens if they just decide they don’t like you?
Food for thought. What do YOU think? Should they be allowed to track and publicly list so much information about Fallout 76 Players?

Feel free to leave a comment, I really want to know, I just don’t understand!

Love, Always,

SinSeer

PS: No, I’m not on the list, I’m thinking of the rest of you. Doesn’t seem right for so many Fallout 76 Players to be tracked by unknown anonymous reddit users on their little ‘discord’.
#Fallout76 #fallout

Don’t believe me? Here’s their discord link, make sure to check the #76_blacklist room to see if your in-game name, or discord name, or full discord ID is in there! http://discord.gg/falloutreddit

PLEASE share this one. This isn’t right, and does break the new Zenimax terms of service. Having random anonymous ‘reddit’ users collecting the information on Fallout 76 players is disturbing, and I am pretty familiar with how often reddit users like to doxx people – it’s been done to me via this platform multiple times. Apparently, in at least one case, it was because some dumb-assed discord moderators were saving my personal information, including name, address, and phone number – on their discord! Heck, a whole discord was purged that day, to clean the personal information of fallout 76 players that was stored on it, wasn’t it? Such a casual, casual day it was…. filthy, but casual.
