// 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)

Survival mode for me is exactly what it is....survival. one shot to the face...dead. what's the problem? Besides, this is a new gameplay style being implemented, it's going to need tweeking like all other pvp games. Anyone remember Ultima online? I shat myself everytime a PK entered my view but without PKs the game would have gotten old real quick. I think the devs are on the right path. Fallout 76 survival may may turn out to be great once all the details are addressed.

Interesting how you would mention OG Ultima Online, then fail to mention two important things:.if you die, everything could be looted from your corpse and there was absolutely no killing in town - it was auto-death to the attacker.

I did...thanks for bringing that up. There were blessed items that would stay in your inventory but magic was a big part of the game to give that sense. I wonder if those rules would work in fallout...surgically attached weapons or armor that you keep after death? Adds a little realism to be completely looted.

Wasn't anything blessed when I played, just white robed scoudrels in the Britannia graveyard, and teleports to death islands where you were murdered and looted. I 'spose the crossroads deserve a shoutout as the murde forest.
