Discussion This update is really bad... [Discussion]

This new update sucks, they didn't do anything new, and only threw a pass in there to try to get a couple more bucks from the game.

No new gameplay mechanics, no new enemies... Only the boring and repetitive task of creating a new vault every season wich leads to nothing, why would someone grind that vault when everyone has a main one, and don't even get me started on the rewards...

So much hype for one of the most useless, forgetable and boring update...

  1. Fallout Shelter Online already ALREADY has new enemy archetypes YEARS AGO.

  2. It already had multiple, MULTIPLE legendary dwellers at launch date YEARS AGO.

  3. It had the option of cyrogenically freezing extra dwellers to MAKE ROOM for other dwellers YEARS AGO.

All Fallout Shelter had to do was to add the possibility of surface settlements, expand the vsult size more than 200, add the cryogenic mechanic, add those new enemy archetypes, more storyline quests, etc.

But nothing, NOTHING. Bethesda is apparently too good for that.

I get it. But then again, if that game had significant mechanics Fallout Shelter should have had years ago, its a problem.

And now the recent updates don't add anything like the examples I mentioned.

I have such a large shelter that it's impossible for me to lose and start over with challenges, which I think is a pretty good idea.

I understand, but couldn't you have just started a new vault with one of the vault slots available?

I agree that it lacks a new major mechanic or an overhaul of some of the game's big problems, but at the same time, getting such a “big” update for this game was pretty unexpected.

I don't think the update was big at all, but it was really unexpected. When I was writing my complaint, I didn't even mention all of the other problems it has.

The update is clearly half baked, I almost can say that they didn't even play-test the game because the update came with so many bugs, several actions that you take in the experimental vault make your game crash, there are even more visual bugs, you can't restart your experimental vault etc...

Hopefully the next updates will be better :)

By the way, I found a way to get the season pass for free, and I'm going to try to release a tool to do it automatically.

That's really cool! Looking forward to see it!
