Fasnacht is unplayable

Suggestion

I understand the fun of this supposed event. But every time i want to do Fasnacht**,** lvl 200 players insta kill all enemies and my experience from this event is now a slow march till and not able to interact with the event at all (i play non-auto rifle). Its just a very slow show with with explosions and guns blazing all arround me. And for this i cant experience the event in a normal fun way the way i think it was designed for. If they scale the hp of the enemies up i would actually feel i can contribute . I truly want to like this event cause in general i think fallout 76 is a great game but I wonder if the devs even play their own events...

It's not really a combat event - it's a celebration. There are better places to find legendaries and enemies, but there's nowhere else in the game where you can find Fasnacht drops and the event-specific cosmetics

Thanks for clearing that up! To me it felt like a defend and combat event with a celebration in the end with rewardings for your hard work. The whole thing just felt like a walk in the park and and too easy. But it seems i had the wrong intention of this whole event

Yeah, just do the event with a dumb outfit, jump everywhere, dance, shoot balloons, have fun with everyone and win something at the end ! :)

So many people who play this game love to gear out and collect cool outfits, PA, guns. It’s a huge part of the culture of the game.

I’m convinced that Fasnacht is all about the chance to show it off to people. Rarely do we get to check out each others get-ups. We are too busy in the other big events. This is just a nice 12 minute walk together.

It would be cool if people didn’t kill the sloth instantly but it only takes 1 in a group of 10-15 to ruin it.

Oh that part seems true I was secretly a teensie bit bummed I didn't have my T-65 power armour ready for this.

The last 2 times I've done it people were letting everyone get a tag on the sloth. Wasn't sure if I was even playing the right game for a minute lol.

Me too but there is no option to display your outifts in your home. I collect all the outfits i'd come by. Would be cool if we have more of these social events but then you can just scrap the enemies from the event and make it focussing purely on the social aspect

You still get the rewards right?

event rewards are based soly on the number of robots who survive the event. if all 5 make it the highest reward tier available. this is why people arn't risking letting people tag everything. all it takes is for the boss to AOE them once and they die. i'm not risking my rewards just so you can get a hit on a lvl 16 legendary boss and get a lvl 20 legendary they gonna dump for scrip.

High levels also get kills stolen. I personally don't even try to kill anything,I just help in the preparation phase. The whole event would probably give me 1% of a level anyway.

You're are there,and will get the final rewards,what else you need?

Haha that was literally me on my first parade. People were one shoting everything and all the objectives were done without seconds. At least it’s a chill event

Spawns are like lvl 5s and even a team of lvl 30s would one shot everything minus the megasloth. No worries. that's how it's supposed to be played. You ain't missing out on anything

I'm L200+ and I also find the event slow and boring. The enemies are getting one shot because there are few of them, generally attack one at a time, and even the Megasloth is only L20. I only use a standard rifle for the event with no sneak or perk bonus and hitting a lowly ~130 and still kill all but the sloth with one shot. What am I meant to do, fist fight them?

Yeah, it's not for the xp do.it for the fun and masks

The combat isn't the main part of the event. Just get together with people and have fun

Get fallout first and play on a priv server... sure it wont be so easy then.. sorry dont mean to sound like an ass... i try to ask people to use weaker weapons and not kill the sloth so everyone can get a shot on it... but no one listens

Great i cleary misunderstood the goal of the event so it seems. Still it would be more "fun" if the enemies where a little tougher or remove then all they way. I also felt like i was missing out a "ton" of potentional drops but thats not the case neighter. Thanks for clearing that up !

Meh. Just marsupial up on a roof and wait for your rewards. This event doesn't really require participation.

At least your high levels are just trying to complete the event. Last night we had one where a level 300 was wanted and left the event so him and his super cool pvp bros kept trying to initiate combat with everyone to shit on the event for all.

megafreakintron•

look your rewards are based purely on how many robots survive. just stand there and get free rewards. the monsters are like lvl 16 every gun i have one shots them. so deas everyone else

I did one event as a level 9 ( I picked up the game after the free weekend) and the only thing I one shot was a squirrel, lol. Those level 16 guys are tanky for a few of us.
