I've noticed a shift in Fallout... suddenly there are a ton of lower levels everywhere, I'm actually usually the highest level person in most of the servers I go into. And I'm not sure if they messed with the ratios or if the Fallout show has just intrigued so many fucking people into playing. It's good and bad having so many new people on. Because... new people annoy me a lot less than older players. It's been weeks, in fact, since any overpowered asshole has come busting into my game with a grenade launcher. Which is good... until I need them for a harder event, and suddenly I look around, and realize I'm surrounded by level 20s. And level 20s make good fodder if nothing else. I don't need them to kill anything, just... panic, run around, and distract things while I kill them xD I had a situation like this a couple days ago. I was in Radiation Rumble, up on the center platform, and there was a level 20 down on the floor in front of me so I was kinda keeping an eye on her, making sure she didn't get overwhelmed when suddenly those three Deathclaws came running outta those tunnels right at her xD I've never seen anyone jump behind me so fucking quick. To be fair, at almost 700, Deathclaws are basically nothing to me, you're very safe behind me against Deathclaws. Unless I'm using an explosive weapon... then we both die xD I had a really wholesome experience with a group of sub-30s. The Nightstalker wendigo comes out at the end of a certain event, and of course I'm used to booking it to it because higher levels will mow that thing down with zero regard for anyone else getting to see or shoot it. So when it came out I shot it down to half health, and let them finish it off. And I like being able to help lower levels like that, I like everyone to have a good time, and get a piece, and it's so fucking hard when you're low, and surrounded by 500s+. There's just no reason to be so competitive, they have games for that, it ain't Fallout. Fallout to me is relax, chill, explore, craft, help your fellow Wastelanders if you can. Which is apparently a lot easier without other higher levels around. I think a lot of veterans of the game were kinda put off by the latest season... The dumbass changes they made. I get it. I'm not going to leave, but it is bullshit to completely change certain aspects of a game, which has been around, and enjoyed for years how it was. But hey, they said the changes were to make the game better for newbies, I guess it worked?

I think everyone is kinda over Mothman Equinox at this point. You're lucky to get 3-4 people joining up when it used to be 15-20. I think most if these seasonal events last too long, and if you're going to have then run for 2 weeks they should really have better rewards. This is where Fasnacht Day, much as I hate it, is better in thay regard because there's the possibility to get a rare mask every time that even if you won't wear you can sell for a lot of money. Once you get all the rewards from Mothman Equinox there's really no incentive to keep going to it other than boredom or XP. Despite it being double XP weekend, I only made it from 653 to 662. Usually on a good double XP weekend I can grind out 20+ levels. But I haven't really been playing as much. I ran into one of the most annoying people on today... So when you start Mothman Equinox you have to destroy these vines around three firepits. And I was doing one, and motherfucker comes up behind me on his mic, "You'd think at level 600 you'd be able to destroy those faster." Ok, well... I destroyed them fast enough that you, sprinting over here, didn't get any part of it. So I then went, and got the other two while he ran behind me, and every fucking time I got them down before he even got there... but sure, let's tell me how weak I am. Then this dumbass thinks he's going to tell me what to do because the next part is you have to run around the area destroying enemy totems. And I think there were only like 3 or 4 people there so everyone had to help. But this little bitch, only in the 200s btw, comes up to me, "Hey, yeah you, I know you can hear me, go get the totem on the church roof, I'm not climbing my ass up there." Looks like you are though xD Cause now I'm happy to sit here, and watch this event fail if you think you're going to tell me what to do. Like, who the fuck are you? I could easily have jetpacked up to it if he'd asked me. But fuck no, you ain't commanding me to do anything. I dunno who the fuck told you that you're team leader, but uh, nah, they lied, sit the fuck down, bitch boy. Eventually, after watching him struggle for a couple minutes, he gets the totem destroyed. So the next part you have to defend the three fires from waves of enemies. Three different places to defend. This dumbass comes walking over to the one I chose. Like dude... maybe you haven't gotten the hint, but you can go fuck yourself. And then the most hilarious part is the enemies start pouring in, and I'm taking them down very quickly, and he starts whining that I'm killing things before he can get any shots in xD Oh... but I'm fucking weak remember? Because I'm not one-hitting vines, I suck, remember? Level 200s are possibly the worst to encounter in the Wasteland, for whatever reason it's a constant thing to run into 200s with massive egos, and I can't figure out why. I think after about level 500 you mellow out a lot whereas at 200 you think there's still something you need to prove. There's really not. There's really no reason or justification to be so douchy, but people are dumb so. There are so many good people in the Fallout community that when you do come across one that's just really annoying, it grates on you. I'm not saying you have to be that person that goes out of their way to help others, but... I think it enhances the experience for most people to be able to be friendly and helpful with total strangers. Like I know that I can be extremely mouthy and antagonistic, but... only if you deserve it. I don't get online on a game with full aggression towards everyone I come across. That's dumb.
