I feel that “Radiation 76” has been around for a while, after all, since the beginning of October, large-scale beta testing has been launched. But strictly speaking, “radiation 76” was officially released for just one month. This month, we have seen the vulnerability of the first release version, seen the subsequent patch repair, and also saw a controversy caused by a canvas bag, which is really a month of twists and turns
· “Radiation 76” was officially released on November 14, and simultaneously landed on PC, PS4 and Xbox One The impressions of the first batch of players are not high. The criticisms of the players are mainly focused on the lack of NPC in the game world, the performance optimization performance is not ideal, and the game content is too small. However, some players have been enthusiastic about the game after experiencing the beta test, so they become volunteer NPCs in the game, help the novice players, and even give away items directly. The problem holes in the game itself include the problem of power armor, the camp continues to collapse, and the inventory is not enough
· “Radiation 76” in the “Power Armor” Deluxe Edition of many gifts, the canvas bag in the ad replaced with a cheaper nylon bag So the players who smashed $200 caused a stir on social media with complaints and bad reviews. The B-sales support representative said in response to a player’s complaint that they were forced to change to a nylon bag at the last second before shipment due to a shortage of supplies
· There is a group of players who made the advanced items at the end of the game on the first day of the game release, and used a nuclear bomb to blow up a place where a high-level enemy gathers on the map They achieved this feat by using some player-made tools, cracking a part of the code, making it relatively easy to launch a nuclear bomb
· The first after-sales patch for “Radiation 76” was released on November 19th. The host version of this patch has 47G, and the PC version also has 15G.The Patch description only mentioned improvements in stability and bug fixes, but after installing the patch, there was no noticeable improvement other than the significant increase in space
· Players and the media have reached a consensus that “Radio 76” is not an excellent game Currently, Radiation 76 scores only 50 points on Metacritic. Although the game has some remarkable points, it is still shrouded in the shadow of the game crash and disappointing multiplayer content
·BB announced on November 27 that it will release another patch, plans to fix more vulnerabilities, increase the size of the inventory, and add a storage box They also apologized for the improper communication. They said that they would increase the transparency of development, and often publish the work content of the development team and the repair content of future plans
· One day later, B Company apologized for the nylon bag incident They said that all players who receive a nylon bag will receive 500 atomic coins as compensation. But in fact, 500 atomic coins can’t be bought in a sheet metal mall
· On December 3, B announced that it will start to reissue the canvas bag
· On December 4th, the patch went live, this time with a detailed update list But obviously some of the content was missing, because after the update, the player found that many resources were secretly weakened. Even the nuclear fuel of power armor is not as long as it used to be. The B community manager once again apologized to the players for lack of communication and promised to be more transparent in the future
· A batch of “radiation 76” players’ personal information was leaked, allegedly leaked because of the technical failure of the B-sales support department All players who submit a nylon bag complaint to the B company can access the back office support of the B company during the accident. Their B account information folder is all emails of other players. These emails contain Each player’s respective shipping address. Later, the B community manager said at the forum, “Hello everyone, we have solved this problem.”
· On December 11th, the B company released an update file, this time adding balance adjustment and weakening information to the documentBut it was still picked out of the thorn: Players found that the public event “Feed the People” no longer issued special items to all players on the server when it was completed. The players then collectively called B to roll back this fix. So Radiation 76 completed a wonderful update cycle in the most unlikely way in the first month after the release
So now “Radiation 76” is still the focus of the news, although the work itself has no flash point, but controversial topics are a lot
B has announced the 2019 update plan, but has not announced whether it will make a single large-scale renovation of the game, or a small-scale repair on a weekly basis. But one thing can be sure: If the power armor version of the player did not receive the canvas bag at the end, “Radiation 76” will cause another wave of controversy
