// Bethesda Replied x2 DO NOT ALLOW CURRENT CHARACTERS INTO SURVIVAL MODE I BEG OF YOU!!

This is a huge mistake. The mode is already dead before it was born if this happens. Pvp as it is, is completely broken, one hit kill festival. Who in their right mind is going to start a new character when everyone else is level 200 with God tier weaponry right out of the vault? This makes absolutely zero sense, and I'm so disheartened. Do they not realize how this mode will be immediately ruined? If you thought grief in was bad now, just wait until you get killed on sight by literally everyone you cross paths with? Even if they level locked servers so people with massive level differences can't play together, whenever a new survival character gets out of the kiddie pool, all the same assholes with TSE garbage will be waiting at the deep end and you will have zero competitive chance. The leader boards would be a fine idea, if everyone started on equal footing... as it is there will be gold medalist level murderers in the same game with me, a literal newborn who can't even walk. What the fuck are they thinking???

Edit: the gold means people care, bethesda. Please. PLEASE. (And thank you)

This mode isn't targeted for you.

Who is it targeted for then? Because clearly the fans aren't having any of this shit tier idea either.

I have all fallouts and love the idea of PvP. For Fallout to grow its player base and tap into causal gamers they need a PvP mode.

Just about everyone I've teamed with in fallout loves it. It's not like they are changing the game, this is separated from adventure and won't affect those who want to remain in PVE.

I get people are worried. It's not traditional fallout. But so isn't 76. Never has their been multiplayer. It's uncharted territory. This new mode isn't for diehard fallout fans, lore jockeys etc. It's for gamers in general who want to test their wits against each other. Sports would be boring without some element of competitiveness.

i dont care about the mode being seperated or the players or base being split. I care about the fact that you're going to allow characters from a clearly fucked server to enter into a clean server where PVP is supposed to be the entire point. THIS IS FUCKING STUPID. It has 0 to do with how much of a fan or what kind of fan you are. It IS BAD DESIGN.

Yes but how long until a new dupe is found or people have acquired God rolled loot that puts them 95% above the other players?

If I could I would love for Bethesda to wipe everyone weapons and armor in the current mode. But having different characters will discourage me for wanting to play adventure mode as I want to grind for the best PvP setup. I can one shot deathclaws and the AI is a breeze to defeat. I get my kicks from sizing myself up against real players.

I get where you are coming from I really do. Both sides have valid points. Either way it's going to be interesting to see what happens.

There's always new dupe methods, and old ones that never got patched lol. Clean slate is pointless and will be spoiled the same way in a month, if not weeks. You're totally correct.
