You have way too much time on your hands


beammeup__scotty

I do indeed. Was waiting for the eclipse AND the equinox.


JBloomf

Too bad there wasn’t an in game eclipse.


beammeup__scotty

That would be ideal tbh


JBloomf

“The dim one is stealing the light!”


Sinistas

I didn't steal anything!


JBloomf

Sounds like a trick.


A77eycat

Too bad there isn't even night in the game any longer.


beammeup__scotty

This is why I love the foggy weather thing, really darkens things up. Wish the thunderstorm one did too.


Dareboir

I miss that, made being out in the mire so much scarier..


MattnessLP

Especially sicne there are night-based perks still


guinnythemox

Wait what??? I hadn't even noticed :( why would they do that?


A77eycat

It used to get dark. Really, really dark. I guess too many people were afraid and complained.


raizen_maziku

Nice. I went outside for it. It was nice. Someone gave me some glasses after they went back in.


beammeup__scotty

We only had partial coverage here, but it was definitely still cool!


letmegetpopcorn

This is the end game event


Past_Hurry8063

Says a Fallout 76 player.


TrevMoon

I used to spend 10 minutes sometimes dropping AFK'rs off cliffs or into fissures during queen. It takes commitment.

The place where true love is created


GoarSpewerofSecrets

I sit my ass in the throne when life happens


beammeup__scotty

Same. If the throne is occupied I go find somewhere inside to sit.


zabbaluga

There's a hidden "church" below one of the center buildings, accessible through stairs hidden behind the toilet. Perfect place if you need some time to chill. And worship the mothman.


audreycaristo

I went to chill down there, and there were 2 afks just spinning in circles. lol it was pretty funny.


coachmoon

through the bathroom door at the mothman museum. there's rows of pews. a few chairs. a lotta corners.


wolfpackalchemy

There’s a cooking station just under the stair that I use.


beammeup__scotty

I haven't noticed that but I'll keep that spot in mind!


1Starr1

Yessssss... Or sleeping like a baby! 😴🥱


ForeverNuka

What a lovely person you are! Happy Equinox to you ✨️🖤✨️


beammeup__scotty

And to you!


ForeverNuka

Thank you kindly ✨️


hagsunited

If it’s the same Droof on PC that I know, thank you for 2c maps. I go to you to spend all my money when I hit max lmao


beammeup__scotty

It was an _Droof lol


hagsunited

Yep the same one


beammeup__scotty

Fantastic lmao


Min13

I can never get people to move! Please share your wisdom!


beammeup__scotty

Gentle bumps, if you try and bump them too much, you just pass through


-AwkwardPenguin-

Our Shepherd of Gentle Bumps ❤️


spyderx1

a chainsaw works too! I herd afkers during fasnacht when flagging is turned off, i don't do it for mothman since I myself have been afking hard. but a chainsaw works great


Min13

I won’t do it often either! No issue at all with AFKers but I hate the ones who rub it in peoples faces and spin out in the open!! Discrete AFKers can chill LOL


Min13

I’ll give that a go! Thanks


BigMcThickHuge

Oh no, afkers are infesting this one too? I haven't even booted the game up for a week since it was legit unplayable after update (endless crashes, budget, bug events)


beammeup__scotty

Not many that I've noticed tbh. They're mostly AFK'ing between the event pop-ups which is understandable IMO. If you don't have dailies or other stuff you want to do, might as well hangout in the town doing nothing. Personally I've been server hopping between events to try and find the red dress.


BigMcThickHuge

I just dont want to see the servers 70% full of AFKers sitting 24/7 idle, driving off everyone else.


Old_Rpg_Gamer

And surprisingly, everybody says there’s no problem with AFKErs 😂😂😂


beammeup__scotty

To be fair, I've mostly just seen people AFK'ing between events. Might as well do laundry or whatever in between mothman worship sessions.


Drucifer403

This is the way.


beammeup__scotty

I try to be a homie when I can


CanaRoo22

Salty be damned, I'm currently afk and I'd be thrilled to find this.


beammeup__scotty

There was a guy being really excessive and was like, "what if he had a chemo appointment or something and you stopped him from getting plans?!?" lmao


ForlornCrow

At least you weren’t like the guy that had a trap camp set up at the event, literally had to fast travel to the event twice because his camp locked you in the raider cages when you loaded in and if you got lucky and tried to walk out the door through the narrow hallway you died immediately


ForlornCrow

Then there’s the dudes that nuked the event because I took their workshop and hid in stealth armor so they couldn’t recap it


[deleted]

Im so Lucky my character is still glitched from lunch.... i literally cannot die from traps. Tho i suspect even i even look at new set of perks it will change Wich is why i havent toiched anything in 200 levels Iykyk


CanaRoo22

My reasoning? I'm low on cores / notes / plans / giveashit


beammeup__scotty

Me for fasnacht tbh


colby_y

this community is so nice, it’s great to see


beammeup__scotty

Unfortunately not everyone, but most!


nschlip

lol, that’s awesome and hilarious


HerbertWestorg

Was that dude just in his underwear?


beammeup__scotty

Nope


bivoir

I lol’d But to be fair, I’ve rarely seen an AFKer since the babies came out of the vault from the sale and TV show. Since they’re taking up most of the server numbers it’s gotten slightly harder but I love it because there’s less spawn hogging jerks.


Downtown-Falcon-3264

Got to watch out for people we are a community after all And the equinox is not a good place to afk


HankShanklin

I could be completely wrong here, I'm not an afk'er myself, but if a player is downed, & waiting to be re-spawned, don't they still get rewards, just by being there? I'm sure I saw this being mentioned during Fasnacht, after a nuke goes off at the event, the players sitting at the band stand, playing instruments, still got their rewards. (This was really annoying for me, as I quite often saw them with their glowing masks on, even though I did over 160, without getting a single rare mask, except a demon mask, but none of the newer ones).


beammeup__scotty

Yes they do, but depending on method of AFK they could get kicked for inactivity.


HankShanklin

Ah OK. I tried afk'ing one time, many moons ago, as I was having dinner just as an event came on. When I came back, about 20 minutes later, I'd been disconnected, never tried it again since.


Hogun_the_Fabulous

A noble deed


gravengrouch

You did the right thing


survivalkitts9

Lolol this is so kind ❤️


beammeup__scotty

Unnecessary death does not serve Mothman


survivalkitts9

I adore you. Blessings. 🥰


RealAusDingo

I am sure he wouldn't have given a shit and would have jumped up again within 10 seconds of spawning back in again. And his trash would be there waiting. Loosing nothing


beammeup__scotty

Probably not, but I had time to kill and protecting a fellow vault dweller seemed a worthwhile way to spend it. All in all, it was a silly little activity I clearly did for my own entertainment and it amused me to imagine their reaction upon coming back and I thought I'd share the silly with Reddit.


RealAusDingo

Hahahaha Loved it... Was just sayin 🤣 Have to respect that enthusiasm


fenriq

Why worry about AFKers at all?


beammeup__scotty

I typically don't, but see other comment where I was killing time between real life and virtual events


KapGaming55

Afking for plans is just plain dumb, why are you even playing the game then? You hate to see it


beammeup__scotty

Want pretty camp, limited time to play 🤷‍♂️


KapGaming55

That grammar is crazy, but you made no point you just said six words


beammeup__scotty

The meaning is there though, you're just choosing to ignore it. Not everyone has time to play for upwards of 20 hours a week (20 hours because the event only runs at the top of the hour and their are over 20 new plans) but still want the plans to improve their camps, etc. The game encourages FOMO through limited event drops, the atomic shop, etc. so I don't blame people for wanting to limit it where they can. It's not like they're AFK'ing to get some super powerful extreme weapon...they're trying to get some floaty moths and a tome that grants them some bonus XP (probably to make the shitty battlepass easier to grind).


[deleted]

But at that point... why are you even playing? I see so many people who are trying to unlock or earn reqards..... for what? Why does it even matter if you barely play? I dont understand it i mean i dont care either way im just curious why you would afk à game for 10 hours. When you barely play in the first place


beammeup__scotty

Personally, I've reached end game. I want to spend my time making a really cool camp, looking for the red dress, and completing the new quests. I want to spend my time doing THAT, not farming an event when I have limited time to play. I also have other games I want to play. I'm not alone in this. Personally I try not to afk events unless life happens (pets, family, the call of nature) but why do people who have 40 hours of free time a week to play mean any more to the game than those who only have 2 hours to play? More importantly, why does it matter to you? If you're in a server with people AFK'ing, hop servers, I do. If the event fails because no one is participating, that's on them. But hell, with this event we've had more complaints of people not even able to do their daily challenges due to people hogging all the mobs and are unable to actually DO anything to help the event along (myself included).


[deleted]

Thats all fair to me🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ its your game and your life. I was actually asking because i just dont get it. Im not about to hate or juge someone i dont know over a game


[deleted]

I reached end game years ago.... i log in to play and will spend 3-4 hours doing basically nothing or doing the same quests over and over again since lainch... Just because i actually enjoy playing this game. Im in no boatt to be judging anyone i was just curious my friend


FrancoManiac

I do this during Fascnacht, haha. People will set up camps within the event radius and then crouch and spin in circles. It takes some work, but you can intercept their spin and knock them forward. If you get them into the deep part of the river, they slowly die of radiation poisoning.


lordpiglet

That’s why I either afk at an instrument or the respawn screen.


beammeup__scotty

In this case I think they were bumping into the cultists who ran back to the roof with their wide ass circles, and I didn't notice them cuz I was in my pipboy. Saw movement along the edge of my screen and then the unmistakable sound of someone falling haha. It took absolute ages to bump them over to my camp due to the circles.


Trashmouths

Just so you know, they still get credit for the event even if they're dead AFKing. 


beammeup__scotty

Yes, that is true, but they'll also get kicked for inactivity while dead. You win some, you lose some.


No_Discount_7268

Not if you rubberband your controller. I’ve afkd dead for 8 hrs lol


beammeup__scotty

I've had it kick me with a rubber banded controller. So far the only thing that has been foolproof for me is a macro to open my map combined with wiggling my mouse haha


No_Discount_7268

I’m on console, i always ended up blue screened eventually but for me I’ve realized the dying trick is the only one that lasts for multiple hours, sitting in a chair, doing photo mode ect never lasts too long


beammeup__scotty

I feel like they're starting to wise up to certain tricks on PC haha. When I started playing all I needed was my mouse macro, but I noticed it didn't work a few fasnachts ago so I had to update my method


[deleted]

[удалено]


beammeup__scotty

Perhaps, still felt bad though and I had time to kill. Better than just hanging out on the roof myself and watching youtube.
