Fallout 76Bethesda
Much ink has flowed on the evils Fallout 76, whether it's its litany of bugs or problems with its basic concept, but for this piece, I wanted to focus on things that, hopefully, were more realistic than totally redesigning the whole concept of the game and less obvious than those that need to be addressed. be addressed as "prevents the server from ceasing to hit people" or "fixes bugs that cause players to become immortal kings who yearn for death".
I wanted to focus on what I think are a number of short-term solutions for Fallout 76 that could hopefully be rolled out soon. They are not massive changes, but they range from improvements in quality of life to at least give players the confidence that the game is moving in the right direction.
This list is not exhaustive, and some of them are probably longer than I imagine with my limited knowledge of development, but here's what I proposed.
Fallout 76Bethesda
Some buff ammo
Although ammunition management has always been an essential part of Fall, the problem with Fallout 76 is that, because of the real nature of the game, it actively punishes you for your difficult fights, because if you lose or have to retreat, you can not just reload and try again, you must reappear. This means that you lose the ammunition spent in the fight. A complicated solution would involve some sort of re-donating your recently spent ammunition for reappearance, but I think a good starting point would be simply … to find more ammo in the world of course than you do now . Not one huge buff, because you should always make significant choices regarding the engagements and the gun you are using, but the ammo is exhausting right now because of the real nature of the game.
Slightly polish the durability of the article
Again, the same logic applies here. Having the durability of an object in a game is one thing, but with these encounters, even if you die, the damage remains, which means that your material is breaking all time, unless you spend a significant amount of points in bonus cards that reduce it. That's fine, but I think the sustainability of the building block needs to be improved, and the lowering of repair costs would also help. I do not ask for the total elimination of this system (which I would not mind, honestly), but things are not great at the moment and need a boost.

Remove the maximum cost of a quick trip
That's one of those decisions out of 76. I really do not understand at all. I think this may have something to do with the fact that PvP players can not track down people around the world for free, but in practice, it seems like it really limits the number of people in the world. exploration to the point that it is exhausting to try to go back. in old neighborhoods, because there are only a handful of "free" spawn points, including your camp, that often disappear and cost money to move. Remove the cost of that too, while you're there. I have not used my caps yet but quick trip for the most part.
Increase the availability of healing objects, primarily Stimpacks
It seems to me that Bethesda has significantly reduced the frequency with which you get Stimpacks in Fallout 76, as evidenced by the fact that I continue to open medical kits to find only dirty water and Rad-X. I think it's a way to get people to participate in more public group events rewarding Stimpacks most of the time, but they just are not numerous enough to find in the world, especially considering the damage you will suffer as a player. in 76.
Streamline the new VAT
While I understand that the VATS live is here to stay, there must be a way to make it better than it is right now. What I would particularly like to see is reducing the speed with which percentages change when targeting, as they can go from 95% to 15%, from 80% to 23% in less than a second. I think that when the enemy moves, the percentages should increase and decrease gradually. It is hard enough to judge if your shot will hit because of the nature of the system, but add percentages that change quickly and you will feel like a real miss. I also think that some melee enemies need to see their speed reduced to counter these ultra-fast ghouls / rats / wolves in previous games, which was to slow them down with VATS. Since you can not do it anymore, maybe let go of your demon race and attack a little bit.

Removes food and quenches thirst in slow motion
Well, you will not let me pause in a live match, I understand that. But do you really have to penalize me if I finally manage to find a safe place to hide while I'm doing something else, just come back to find my empty food and water counters? The alternative is to completely leave the server when I have to remain idle, which creates even more problems and something has to change. Well, I have more and more hungry and thirsty when I run, I fight and I move, but stand up? Cut me a little here.
If you're going to have PvP, have it
I know that Bethesda is absolutely mortified by potentially distressed players in Fallout 76but the system in place, which allows you to fire on someone without doing damage until he has agreed to retaliate, is clumsy and absurd. This means that you have practically nothing to fear from PvP in almost all circumstances, and although I do not want to be bothered by griefs, this system is just silly and PvP has no chance of being bored. To be interesting. at just as long as it exists. Put huge bonuses on attackers, prevent high level people from attacking lower level people, whatever, but Something besides the strange system we have now.
Start filtering human NPCs from other chests
Bethesda has already said that they are going to open new storage locations on the map, but that might mean something, especially that we could have a lot more: "All people are dead, find out what's going on." has passed through holotapes "as we have them now. But although I do not ask the whole game to be redone with NPCs, I think so, Bethesda could start presenting some Human NPCs out of the chests as a starting point. The game already contains a handful of robotic NPCs, so I really do not see how the introduction of humans would destroy the concept of 76. This would indicate that more content and NPC-based quests are perhaps to come, and this could feel more like a traditional Fall game in time.
This list is obviously not exhaustive because I could go on indefinitely about the required solutions, but it is a start, and I hope that some of them will be possible in the days and weeks to come. But we'll see how much work Bethesda is implementing solutions here, and if they know what at repair when they do it.
