To be fair the hardest part is getting the monster IN the space suit.


biobasher

That's nothing, you should have seen the trouble we had getting a fucking *wendigo* into a clown outfit!


Firegirl1909

Then we finally succeeded, would complete it... the next day, it'd come right back as if we never did it... I finally got it to complete and STAY completed.. had some life things going on so wasn't able to get on for a few months... when I did get back on wouldn't you know... that damn mission is back.. šŸ™„

Could be worse, I had to put the scorch beast queen in a bathing suit and letā€™s just say it wasnā€™t very flattering


WNIEVES1

The funny thing is, it was an actual daily for atoms back in the day.


DaCheezItgod

Take a picture of another player emoting in a rad storm.


[deleted]

I got one that said ā€œKill a Wendingo wearing a clown costumeā€ after I did, nothing happened. Quest didnā€™t even complete.


Varick33340

It was bugged at one point, would sometimes complete, then the next time, or some time later would pop up again, though it was supposed to be a one off a time thing, I think one of the patches fixed it, and it took them long enough.

The real problem is having it for an event that can be randomly selected. For something like Mothman Equinox itā€™s fine as itā€˜s picked as a set event.


golfguy_mark

I go for the fastest 5 challenges and don't worry about the rest. I try to get the Gold Star Score and you only need 5 challenges out of usually 7 (8 if you're Fallout 1st member). TLDR: the event didn;t pop for me while I was on today so I skipped it. This has worked for me for all 10 seasons and I have finished every scoreboard with weeks to spare.


Katiekikib

I do the same and also donā€™t do the Pitt or DO. I finish in plenty of time when Iā€™ve wanted to finish. Iā€™ve only finished three due to breaks not caring to finish.


MyUsernameIsAwful

I skipped it. Itā€™s only 250 SCORE points.


baleensavage

Same. Just like I'll skip Daily Ops if it's a crappy combo or Expeditions if I don't feel like it. If you are worried about the score, just run West Tek a few times with full lunchboxes and brain bombs. Also, there is no score challenge that will ever be worse than getting a kill in Nuclear Winter.


nlolsen8

Spend 5 mins in NW fine I'll go hide in a bush. Kill someone hell no. I only ever won being on a team of good hiders.


wise_ogre

All my awards in that mode (which I loved, don't get me wrong) were basically "hide and go seek champion" trophies.


AdministrationNo283

Former bush/wet wookie here. Think I was able to kill somebody once with a grenade launcher . It was probably just luck


boybrian

I think my only kill was someone who went AFK.


Backlogger78

Iā€™m getting there but I feel we shouldnā€™t have to do this. 99% of the time I can complete all daily challenges within around an hour or less. Then they do this every once in a while, itā€™s bad user experience and game design. They need to stop doing it OR embrace having 1-2 RNG based challenges every day all year long. Honestly this is more frustrating than any single bug in the game because it wastes so much time trying to complete.


golfguy_mark

you don't have to do all of them. Today I skipped that one (didn't trigger the event) and the daily op as no one would join the team. I still managed to complete 5 for the gold star score.


ecksfiftyone

You only have to COMPLETE the daily op. Sometimes on a team. BUT You don't have to do it in 8 minutes.... Just play it casual. It counts even on a team of 1. As long as you complete it. Even if you die a lot.


Backlogger78

Yes I know I can just skip it, thatā€™s not the point. 99.9% of the time you can easily do all of them. Itā€™s inconsistent, which is a bad user experience, thus bad game design. Itā€™s not about ā€œyou donā€™t have to do it, youā€™ll be fine, etc.ā€ Theyā€™ve created the expectation that if you play for around an hour you can complete all dailies.


[deleted]

My expectations are that the scoreboard is easy to complete and that I won't complete dailies every day or weeklies every week. It's a pretty good user experience considering how easy it is. This is probably one of the easiest "battle pass" systems in an online game. Y'all just need to settle with your "pseudo-ocd" of having to complete everthing.


Backlogger78

That is a personal expectation. You are fine to play the game however you want. That doesnā€™t change the fact that nearly 100% of the time all daily challenges are completable in around an hour. If the game has set that expectation, which it has, itā€™s frustrating when they just randomly change it to ā€œone challenge might not be completed unless you (a) play all day, (b) server hop, and/or (c) get luckyā€. Itā€™s bad game design. Iā€™m not saying everyone has to be bothered by this. Iā€™m happy for you if you arenā€™t, but itā€™s a completely valid frustration none the less.


[deleted]

But that 100% a self-imposed frustration lol. Just don't let something that silly bother you. In fact they are so generous in the scoreboard they allow you to replace *any* challenge with getting enough xp.


Backlogger78

Iā€™m sorry that people being frustrated about this is bothering you so much. Many posts in this thread and similar are getting upvotes, itā€™s obvious this ā€œfeatureā€ is unpopular. But just keep arguing against it if you have nothing better to do.


[deleted]

you know that meme where the kid puts a stick in the wheel and falls because of it? That's your group lol edit: lol did you block me? You really like to *choose* things to make you upset hehe


Backlogger78

That makes no sense.


jinglejanglemyheels

This is the only correct reply which also applies to the scrip limit. It is like if Tetris was built in a way where a random seed was generated every time you turn on the game, and this seed would determine the chance of getting normal tetrominoes, and some of them are replaced by tetrominoes where the squares are circles, but the rules of the game is still that you need proper tetrominoes made of squares to connect in order to clear lines.


wrathchild3769

That definitely is one of the worst. Up there for me is forcing people to do an expeditions challenge.


Rightontrek

Daily ops and Expeditions are the no-brainers in my book. I enjoy those.


EmperorOfFabulous

Expeditions are the worst and they try so much to engage their playerbase in that shit sandwich.


FanngzYT

iā€™ve never done a single expedition cause fuck doing 3 whole ass dailies for a stamp šŸ’€


Backlogger78

Those are annoying and can take a little more time (collect wood 50 times is more annoying to me) but at least itā€™s something that can be done within a time frame and not tied to RNG. RNG challenges should not exist.


wise_ogre

If they just want us to try the new stuff, make them weekly but with a lower payout. Or one weekly for trying all the new ones. Played four hours last night (only meant to play two) and never did find the event I needed.


poultrymidwifery

It would be fine if I didn't get disconnected both times the event propped at round 3.


BestSimsMom

My game has just completely crashed..poof gone..during several events.


mdbarberuk

I was just about to leave after being on a server for 3 hrs and no sign, it popped there and then so i joined and 30 secs in,,, i lost internet :o thank god it reconnected in time for me to rejoin the team and watch the legacy users obliterate everything before i could get there, but hey i got my 250 score points! :D


kenziewarg

It really doesn't help when those events don't FRIKKING PROC FOR THE DO 10 EVENTS IN The ASH HEAP šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”


cellophaneflwr

Or the fact that the Nuka world on tour events dont count for that even though they are in the Ash Heap... smh


d3vil360

The even worse part of it is on Xbox One X you finally get the mission to pop and you are working away and about 90% done and BAM crash and even if in a team you can't load back in fast enough to get any credit and it is right back to waiting/hopping.


Phantom_61

Seriously. Two days in a row the "required" event hasn't popped up. two hours and spin the wheel never came up. Yesterday it was Most Wanted and sure enough, didn't see it once, today over the two hours it popped three times split with tunnel of love.


LateGobelinus

Even worse for me, as I completed "Spin the Wheel" on the day "Most Wanted" was needed. Guess which event I joined, on the day "Spin the Wheel" was needed? šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø It would be fine if it was "Complete a Nuka World on tour event (0/1)" instead, but waiting for specific events suck, especially for those of us who can only play for a short while each day.


Phantom_61

Exactly. I work all day I only have about 2 hours to game if Iā€™m really lucky. And worse yet? Thereā€™s a weekly of ā€œcomplete events in the ash heap.ā€ Guess what doesnā€™t count as ash heap quests? Thatā€™s right, Nukaworld on Tour quests!


P0KER_DEALER

Daily Ops are a challenge EVERY DAY...and every day I skip them because in the long run, you finish the SCOREBOARD early anyway.


boybrian

The only time I do them is if my Casual teammate goes into DO.


Zeero92

The worst daily challenge *so far.* But yeah they should keep that for when an event happens on the hour, every hour. Like the alien invasions. Not when it's not guaranteed.


al_floh

Even worse, when it finally drops and one can't enter the event. Tried everything. Jumped away and tried to jump back into the event but chance. That was really f..... frustrating. ;)


Aquatiadventure

4 hours and 5 servers tonight for spin the wheel. Itā€™s now half past midnight. Not sure if itā€™s ridiculous, stupid or both


Acceptable_Memory726

I've played for 6-7 hours since the new update and still haven't seen the "spin the wheel" event pop up. I've done the other three events multiple times now, it's very frustrating.


Wakshaani

Just had teh event I was needing pop up ... and teh server crashed. gah


Platinum_Tangerine

I playede for 3 hours today ever since i got home from work and the event still didn't show up


DumbSkulled

LOL Yeah like when it is ā€œEncryptidā€ what a joke, write that challenge off if you didnā€™t get on the server close to the daily refresh.


ravagraid

you can just buy the recall cards from vendors though?


DumbSkulled

? Sorry, Iā€™m not sure if I understand what youā€™re saying. yes you need a recall card, the daily calls for ā€œcomplete encryptid eventā€ and once a server runs an event, just like missile silos there is a cool down period. That cool down is like 3 hours. It is difficult to hit a server that hasnā€™t run the event when itā€™s a daily.


ravagraid

Oh I didn't think it was that long


DumbSkulled

lots have argued for a shorter cooldown when it is a daily, nothing yet unfortunately.


burgpizza

Resilient daily op is an instant pass for me.


bivoir

Tell me about itā€¦ I play 7 accounts. Bethesdas RNG is a joke.


gardhull

Why??


bivoir

All mules I wasnā€™t going to playā€¦ but ended up playing. Iā€™m my own worst enemy. Most were from ammo hoarding which have made them redundant, but I canā€™t not play them lol


Redlantern-DexStarr

I wish this game had a matchmaking system that we can use for specific events instead of having to wait for them to pop up


[deleted]

"Do Free Range Event" Me: Nope!


method01

only did the event once after 4-5 hours and after i did all daily challenges and most of the weeklies,was ready to quit when the event popped funny is that the day before, the event started at least 3 times in a very small time period


afi931

As a fellow completionist, take my upvote


elbingmiss

Absolutely, we have a life. Also, there are ā€œexhaustedā€ servers where nothing rises up during hoursā€¦ my upvote.


aslumtam

I agree. I stopped chasing daily challenges when I realized it totally spoiled the game for me. It reduces the game to a series of goal scoring, it's just not Fallout playstyle. Events in general are too close together and just lends to Appalachia feeling like a big, loud FO carnival. Nuka World provides that vibe well, but that has always been the main feeling in this game. A sideshow to the real events of FO lore. Spread out events a little more and try to take the post-apoc world a little more seriously, would be great. but it's clearly too late for that, we just need new maps


Alex_oder_so

You don't have to do do every daily challenge. For 250 score board points you can kill about 35 lvl 100 Supermutants (I think front inside, down, inside again should do that in a couple of minutes in West Tek if you wait for double xp with 4 lunchpacks its only 9 supermutants (the one room you open with the computer

DrMetters

Today's was a nuka world one. So on the hour. Server hope untill you get it.


thesslin

Agreed.... 2 HRS jumping and waiting yesterday o\_0


PhoenixReignz

I thought it would be hard to do this one, then I decided it wasn't worth it, and it popped up immediately... such is life


[deleted]

Agreed. Thereā€™s too many events. Some need retired.


golfguy_mark

especially now if they're adding three more to the public event pool. I recall a lot of complaining the last time they added more new events as radiation rumble (everyone's fave will show up less often)


[deleted]

I love the newest events, but I hate getting Distinguished Guests, Heart of the Swamp, Swarm of Suitors and other ones no one joins all the time.


youthcanoe

I like Swarm of Suitors because its quick and easy. Dogwood Die off on the other hand..


quit_engg

Heart of the swamp is nice and easy as well.. they need to leave some events for low level players who are just discovering the game. Agree with distinguished guests though.. super annoying


[deleted]

Stupid Dogwood Die Off. I told my friend I know what to do and we fast travel to it and go get the fertilizer. When we joined, the event had like 5 min and I told him we have time. Turns out the machines can get damaged so when I went to the last one, it said I need to repair it!! And I didnā€™t even fully have all the items needed. Stupid event.


CocoNot-Chanel

Fertile Ground is my go-to solo when I need to complete events for challenges. I usually pick off the supervisors, head down to the terminal, and go AFK for a snack until the timer nearly runs down or someone else comes and completes it. In my defense it's like a 3 minute walk from my camp and if nobody is visible on the map nearby it's not like I'm prematurely starting the event or finishing it super fast so new people can't participate.


jeeeeem

Ever since NPCs arrived, I've thought they should discontinue or revamp some of the weird events where you follow the instructions of someone who died long ago. Why am I defending the old Asylum again? It's full of ferals and bugs.


[deleted]

You have several options for these. They aren't as difficult as people make them out to be. * they have a chance to pop every hour for the next 4 weeks. * They have a chance to pop every 20 minutes in between the hours. Yesterday, I played for 1 hour and did 4 of the new events. 1 at the top of the hour, 3 leading up to the next hour. * Server hop. This has always been an option. * Skip it. Like you said, you don't need to do it. You can skip half the dailies and still finish the board.


jeeeeem

You are right. I just don't like that they are making server hopping a sorta official part of the game. Kills my always fragile immersion. But it really soured me yesterday when I hopped half a dozen time to find Most Wanted, found it, started the event, crashed, rejoined the server, had the strange load-in bug where it didn't apply several of my cards, so I could barely move, then failed the event because in my encumbered state I couldn't gather enough loot in the few seconds left. Yeah, yeah, poor me.


d3vil360

Is it a load in bug that causes the cards to unequip themselves? I had that happen today during the new Seismic event. Crashed then it wouldn't load in proper, loaded in again and played for a bit. Noticed all my food had expired and when I opened my cards 1/3 of them were unequipped. Is there also a glitch that will turn off every switch in your camp or was that some asshat? (There has to be like 40 switches in my camp and all were off one day when I loaded into my base)


jeeeeem

The couple of times it's happened to me, it was at load-in. As an experienced programmer, and one who is *very* experienced at writing dumb bugs, I speculate that it's caused by a race condition where the game tries to apply your cards before it applies your level.


Kwaythut

I experienced this as well. My starched genes card got unequipped, noticed it when I ran through my decontamination shower back at my camp. Also, during seismic activity, I couldn't regain health in power armor. Stimpaks, survival shortcut thingy didn't work. I had to exit my power armor to use them.


d3vil360

It is funny you said that. I have never seen this bug before yesterday but I just logged in and my starched genes and bloody mess card were unequipped this time. Maybe the update has increased the frequency of this issue. I'm going to have to start checking my cards on every login as some of these things can cause real problems if you don't notice in time.


SaltedCaffeine

This whole "players feel the need to do completely optional thing" spans across multiple games since I've seen this complaints multiple times in different games. I think game devs have found a way to trigger OCD in some players.


SeveranceZero

Playing games is ā€œcompletely optionalā€ so thatā€™s a poor take. Players want to be rewarded for their time, thatā€™s what keeps them coming back for more. Itā€™s how a good gameplay loop is done. People are trying to complete the scoreboard and may not be able to play everyday and so they want to get the most done while they can play. They may also have limited play time while they are on and sitting around waiting for a random event to spawn isnā€™t funā€¦ Itā€™s such a simple fix too, change it to ā€œComplete one event of X (like those that spawn on the hour)ā€. That way it still gets people to participate regularly but doesnā€™t force them to sit around for RNG or server hop.


CharlotteTheSavage

There should be a daily challenge where people stop crying about every single thing in this game.


fenriq

So you don't want to hear about when I spawned in and someone was in my camp spot like it was theirs and I had to use a back up location. It was heartbreaking.


CharlotteTheSavage

šŸ™ We Pray for your healing


[deleted]

I liked the idea of a challenge being "complain on reddit"


shadowbananna

Then don't fucking do it. You're still going to finish the season a month early anyway.


itscmillertime

Itā€™s a 1/3 chance at the top of the hour. Just server hop. Should not take several hours.


Backlogger78

Iā€™ve never seen todayā€™s event pop and I did a lot of server hopping yesterday and today. Itā€™s almost always Tunnel of Love.


jeeeeem

That's why it says "several hours **or** server hop".


chopper5150

I'm just glad is also not part of a weekly challenge where you have to do it 5 times in the week. Fortunately that's an easy one with the new building feature.


whitethumbnails

At least you can figure out where they are that way, searching it on the search engine was a terrible experience. Modern search engines really need an AI component to sort out what info you actually need. I'm happy that the landscape evolves (I've only been in and out of the love tunnel though)


RicardoForce

I don't know, it's just a little extra. If I see the event, I'll play it. I'm not gonna go look for it specifically though for the 250 score.


BadSausageFactory

I concur. If I have to do a specific event, at least give me a schedule or a button to start it myself.


Xcalee

No, the worst challenges are the non dailies that are still glitched to hell and can't complete. Stuck on 20/22 diseases for 4 years even though I've had 2 of the ones I am missing.


Varick33340

One thing I have noticed with the sort of event is, that it will either have just finished as you log on, or just as you log off, otherwise it will barely appear during the challenge period, but will start popping up normally as soon as the challenge finishes.


Styles187

Subject: "Here's My Problem" Body: "I have this problem. I know how to fix this problem. I'm not going to fix this problem. Discuss." This is why we Reddit.


Enpsyched

Duuuuuuuude! I KNOW!! Was just having this discussion with my gf. (We both play FO76). Nothing like waiting around for hours waiting for said event to pop up or server hopping until you give up trying to find it going on! Daily challenges shouldn't take longer to complete than weekly challenges.


Leading-Talk3318

While freezing


Cryssli

Agreed. Tired of playing Server Hopping not only for the other countless reasons, but now ... for another reason.


benz0

Played for a few hours on Tuesday and Most Wanted never showed up on the server I was on. Same thing happened yesterday with Spin the Wheel. I'd be happy to do these things if it was an option, but I can't start them on my own and there doesn't seem to be any logic behind when they start automatically.


waxapple

Not a big issue tbh. Back in the day we used to have: "Take a picture of a Mirelurk Queen, King and Spawn together" They also have the potential to spawn at 20 past and 40 past the hour too.
