On release Fallout 76 had more of a PvP focus and was even marketed with other players being scary or a potential threat. Now of course we have seen this game evolve into having the kindest community in gaming, but are there any parts of that past PvP Fallout 76 you miss at all? Or even any interesting development plans around that style of game that never ended up seeing the light of day?

Hey Juice! Great question. I believe the upcoming update to worlds in q3 will give players the functionality you're asking for as it will allow players to add in some PvP elements, along with hardcore survival elements to their private worlds as well.

We will have a lot more to talk about with this update in the near future as this this will be a huge added benefit to our Fallout 1st members. To give a hint, think server settings...

And this is just the beginning, we plan on continuing to build on this feature far into the future.

Are new allies being worked on?

We are working on new allies! No set ETA yet but they're coming.

1. Will Mischief Night be fixed for this year? Me and a lot of other players really want to enjoy this event.

2. Is there a chance that lunchboxes will be able to work in Nuclear Winter? The XP gain is very slow and we need something other than double XP weekends.

3. On the road map it says "Unlimited season ranks" for Season 5. Does this mean we will have more cosmetic items to grind for past rank 100, or will the ranks just be lunchboxes, scrip, legendary modules, caps, gold etc?

The team is re-thinking how we're approaching Halloween events as we know how exciting they are to fans and in service to the Fallout Lore! Unfortunately, Mischief night caused many server issues and we're looking to replace it with a new event which we're are aiming to have out this Halloween.

Does the update to private servers in the fall mean mod support?

You're the best, stay safe, thank you for your service. See you in the Wasteland!

Could we get a matchmaking and some sort of group finder for activities like dungeons/raids/events? Maybe even cross server matchmaking. Are guilds/clans coming?

Yes! This summer we're putting in a new teams system, similar to a public "looking for group" system, where Team Leaders will appear on the paper map and teams will be further incentivized with group buffs to play events, dungeons, and explore together. The wasteland is more fun friends!

THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE! I had a blast today. See you in the Wasteland. Very excited for the year to come.

Will an area text chat system be implemented for PC, or has that been scrapped? I saw a gaming news article about it shortly after release saying it would be looked into, but nothing from the company since then (although plenty of requests from users via reddit).

Text chat is something we see requested often, we looked at implementing it early in development. Currently this year we have a number of other quality of life improvements we're tackling. As a PC player, I too would like to get text chat implemented in the future.

Will the Jester , Sun, goblin, Skeleton , Old man winter masks have human drop rates during Fasnacht this year ?

Yes, we are addressing mask drop rates this year as well as other improvements to the Fasnacht event. There will be new masks as well (and they're excellent!) We look forward to getting this event out soon.

Will there be more Allies available in future content? Its cool to have them as C.A.M.P. companions!

Indeed there will be more allies!

Are there any plans for us to explore somewhere beyond Appalachia? Either expanding the borders of the map or taking us somewhere entirely new? Thank you tons for all your hard work put into making this game <3

We are talking about ways to do just this. Stay tuned.

Hello!

Any plans on instanced dungeons/raids/arenas? Thinking like ESO style of content or a horde mode

Yes, we're actively prototyping a system where we will be incentivizing certain dungeons to be played on a rotating basis for unique rewards.

I agree, I didn't spend all these hours to be level 200+ just to do the same amount of damage as a level 45 with the same weapon. It's not unreasonable to expect to be significantly stronger than new players.

I too agree, we will be testing this system on our PTS server and soliciting feedback to get it just right!
