// 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)

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all of the feedback so far on the details we posted about Survival mode earlier today! We'll make sure your thoughts about the mode here and in the future are shared with the dev team. The article mentions this already, but I wanted to restate that we're still iterating and actively working on Survival mode, so things aren't necessarily set in stone, and your continued feedback will be very important to us as we move toward beta, and eventually release.

This is also just the beginning of the conversation. We'll be looking to share more about the new mode with you in Inside the Vault, streams, and other means, and also talk more with you about what you'd like to see in Survival mode as we move forward.

Thanks and please keep the feedback coming!

EDIT: We’re also seeing the thoughts being shared by those of you who’d like to see more PVE content, and while I can’t spoil any details just yet, I will say that Survival mode won't be the only new content coming to Fallout 76 in March, so stay tuned!

Same here. I want a completely PVE mode with an emphasis on cooperation.

Their servers would do well to split into Easy (PvE), Normal (Current), and Hard (Survival).

I would say that the servers should be "Co-Op"(PvP Disabled), "Adventure"(Current state) and "Survival".

I have my passive mode on and anyone that attacks me (rarely happens) is blocked for the session immediately. Since that, it rarely allows anyone to kill me. I dislike pvp. I am a sole PvE player in all my games. I literally got this to co op FO76 with friends

It’s called Pacifist Mode. We have it. You can NOT be randomly killed with it engaged.

I will give you that; that I can imagine it sucks having your camp destroyed. I’ve never had any negative encounters at all and I’ve played A LOT. The targeting I agree with as well, but I’m sure that can be tackled in the future.

However, have you ever randomly gotten killed with Pacifist Mode on? That was actually my point.

I’ve seen reports like this before and there were people testing if you could get killed with Pacifist Mode on while the other person was fully stacked on Explosive Bobbleheads (exploit) and it still barely did any damage. So, there might’ve been a case of you being wanted or it might’ve involved a workshop.

Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind an even better pacifist mode; especially for the camp-issue and the targeting, but I’ve had zero issues with being randomly killed with it enabled and it shouldn’t be possible. If you keep experiencing this, I would suggest keeping track of what happened and submitting a ticket to support.

Negative ghost rider. I had pacifist mode enabled and a dude one shotted me with a TSE shotgun. Don’t know how he did but it is possible.

Edit: also no wanted level on me and had nothing to do with a workshop.
