Fallout 76 Players Are Seeing an Increase in Griefing (gamerant.com)

Some fans appear determined not to let this trend affect the game's welcoming reputation, having reported that they are trying to rebuild other people's C.A.M.P.s whenever they see them nuked, and work even harder to support newbies in other ways. Between that and Fallout 76's existing anti-griefing measures, it's possible that this potential uptick in malicious player activity will pass before long.

Griefing in Fallout 76 is pretty much non-existent - it's an overblown "headline".

That community has been one of the most friendly and welcoming communities of pretty much any multi-player game in the last few years. Asking a question or for help from a complete stranger and getting way more information or assistance is actually the more common occurrence.

The game has been around for a long time, so welcoming or helping a newbie is sometimes a nice break from the grind for the high-level players.

Come on over newbies - the game has changed a LOT from its original iteration (which WAS a shitshow full of bugs and griefing - which is outdated information from long past).

I was genuinely surprised how nice people are on 76 when I played it. I was so used to the toxic COD lobbies and GTA Online servers that I just expected the worst from everyone. Such a huge breath of fresh air. I only stopped playing because I ran out of stuff to do.

SMH so much drama. Griefing isn't really a thing in 76. Camps are easily fixed, shelters are invincible, trap camps are very rare, trolls are also super rare, and you literally have pacifist mode to avoid pvp. Honestly though..

There’s no griefing in Fallout 4. Just saying…

Did you mistyped 76 or is this because 76 is hated by a huge chunk of players ?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, Fallout 4 is single player. Therefore it has no griefing. Also it was recently updated to next gen graphics on console so it’s a great time to play.

Oh, look, the exact reason I never Played this game in the first place and never will

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You mean the reason you won't play is because of an article exaggerating the toxicity of the players? Because I can guarantee you there nearly no griefing whatsoever. Surely you have a better reason to not play than simple non-existent griefers?

Fallout should only ever be a single-player game. The whole point is that you’re going it solo. That’s where it shines.

But more than that, I have never had a gaming experience that wasn’t made worse with other players.

What? The first game ever literally had a companion system. You basically needed them to survive. Every game since has had a big emphasis on how being alone isn't the way to go. You are constantly working with others, helping others, getting help from others. Your argument is ridiculous.

Your argument is ridiculous.

You asked me why I don’t want multiplayer Fallout, and I told you. If you don’t like it, that’s your problem.

isn't nuking a CAMP just part of the game? You can pick anywhere to place a camp, you can put a nuke anywhere, you can see both on the map - ergo camps get nuked.

Anyone can also build in the no-nuke zone. Its literally why its there.
