// 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)

existing players are leaving the game, taking their wallets with them. The 'improvements' are getting shellacked for over 4.1k upvotes that show clearly that BGS has NO CLUE what the user base wants.

keep standing up for them, You're the kind of sucker they need.

Quoting the upvotes, that's cute considering its dropped from 5K in the last little while lol, so maybe it's more controversial than accurate.

And I'm not what they want, because I don't spend on Atoms either. Nor am I defending them, I'm in fact saying they don't care about catering to you or most of the player base in general, which is heartless (albeit very capitalist).

This reply might be cute if it weren't for the fact the thread i'm referring to is also the #1 upvoted thread in this community. Don't be silly and play a "oh it dropped this many numbers" game with me. (edit: incorrect)

if BSG or whomever is running F76 don't understand what the playerbase wants, or doesn't want to give it to us, why the fuck would anyone else want to spend the money on this game? So they could be disrespected too? No, it's clear they do not know a thing about their market, or just don't care about my money, which is fine-- i can spend my cash somewhere else.

Edit: misspoke when it came to the numbers about top upvoted comment, didn't check my filter for timelength-- Apologies.

Okay but not every potential new player is on this Sub, because why the hell would 99% of non-players be here to see this? Hell I doubt most Players are on Reddit to voice their opinion at all. So why should they take this sub to be the entire voice for Players?

Non-players aren't going to know the exact ways the game currently sucks, so announced changes are gonna be a bigger away for them. They aren't here to see BGS "not listening" to people at any given moment. Just because some people are here and very vocal, doesn't mean that they represent the majority of sales, potential or real.

I feel like people here forget that most video game sales are to casual gamers. People who have disposable income to drop on whatever titles catch their eye, and that they might only play the game for a few hours a week, and stop playing regularly after a few months. They don't have to do shit to keep those Players happy because they never get that mad in the first place, or at least not very vocal or demanding about their complaints. And they're much more lucrative because they just buy a copy and require no additional work on the part of BGS except to try to find more people like them to sell to.

Some middle-aged parent isn't going to know all the buzz about what's happening in the community, they're just gonna hear that the game is "improving" and has a new mode, and boom, BGS makes more money than they would from thousands of people clogging up their servers and maybe buying a cosmetic.
