@@TeRrIbLe-CoRpOrAtE_cHoIcEs5. Haha right?! I put in ammo I don't use... A little more worthwhile than spoiled stuff but useless to me for the most part.
Thank You for putting spoiled meat/vegetables because all I see is free fertilizer, especially since there's a chemistry bench in the church I don't have to walk far.
I like that point system suggestion. Trade masks, gain points, and select to get a random mask of chosen tier. Higher tiers cost more of course. Donation box that is a free for all will always be dominated by greed.
Fasnacht should run every 30 mins, servers would struggle but people wouldn't mind as much if they were given more of a chance, it's so disheartening to wait an entire hour just to get your 3rd Toothy Man Mask
"people wouldn't mind" That is just not correct. Think about it. People are already complaining about it saying they've crashed. But if you increase how much they're crashing then they just won't do the event.
Yup then you see the people you KNOW afk in their fifth glowing mask. It's annoying and it leads to nukes or me pushing the ones standing to Sutton. Say hi to the Scorched pu55yd3$7120y312666
There's only been one incident with people AFKing on the musical instruments that effected the event. All seats were taken and the event asked to paticipate with music. Well, the bar filled, but then stopped just before maxing out. This basically prevented the event from progressing.. I don't know what happened in the end because I didn't stick around. For the first time ever I saw the countdown get into the teens before I switched servers.
Speaking to the AFK, I was in a server with 18 people at the event and 13 were AFK. I have seen in every server at least 6 AFK. To be honest I can't AFK bc my PS5 errors and I dont get to much more than one hour.
I think the donation should be locked to masks only. However, the game tracks which masks you have. And you can only take masks you don’t have out of the donation box.
People would probably just offload the dupes to their mule characters. Honestly most of the solutions they could implement would end up with ppl finding workarounds. Personally, though , I think the donation box is fine. I usually wait for the crasyness to die down, then I add all my AFK dupe masks once the dust has settled and they usually are gone the next time I come back... I feel it would be pretty easy for someone to complete their full common collection using only the donation box... But I personally never saw a rare mask inside the donation box...
that whole section is pointless and makes people look dumb when they try to involve the math in chance, its like people have never rolled a fkn dice before.
I got two glowing masks after just getting jesters and barrett's every time I played, so always hang in there because your look could change in a heartbeat. One of the glowing masks didnt show in my inventory until I fast traveled to my camp after the event, then I looked and had the glowing robot which is probably the least cool looking one in the game imho, because it doesnt have that much glowing parts on it, but I still wear it with pride every day.
I counted ten afk people on one server. That was all I just counted while running. I failed two events on two separate servers cause it was me and one other person trying to complete it for everyone.
yeah they coded it like ass, are you still playing or did you finally get the memo, this game isnt built to be fair, how can todd suck FOMO money out of you if everyone has the same drop chance and a good one at that...
I've noticed the "Vultures" as well. It's a sad state of affairs. I've ran probably 35ish events and haven't gotten the 1 thing that I want, hahaha, the butter churn. Some glowing or new masks would be cool, but I'm indifferent to most of them. I also wish they would remove the AFK spot, or find a way to kick them from events. For me, it's not about stealing, it's about participating. Yesterday I had 2 different events fail and not get rewards because it was only myself and 1 level under 50 doing the event. It said there were 8-10 people at both events, but they certainly weren't participating.
The high level thing would suck since this is my very first time playing this event and ive been in a couple of different lobbys where people were dropping tins of old masks in the box and i was able to one of each and have even put in my multiple ones too
first event and im like 200-206, im still learning tonnes about this game so 200 means nothing, considering i got there in like 5 weeks, im still fresh. i think that level idea might have been the most bs one of them all, level 51 is NOT level 1723
Happens when large amounts of players are in an area. Something to do with lag. I just don't expell my ap until around two seconds before hitting the ground to cushion the fall. It doesn't always work, but it helps when you get used to it
80+ runs in the first week and all I got was 1 glowing mask. No other glowing or rares. I DID get the Helvetia flower display, vegetable man stein, butter churn, and all the bells. Had to buy the actual bell display from someone’s vendor, though. If I get witch or blue devil one more time I’m gonna scream 😂
Haha. Vulture's is 100% correct. I've been watching high-level players stand next to the donation box and wait. If anyone puts something into the box the high-level players rush to empty the box. Bethesda needs to put a level cap on the box. Level 50 to 100 IMO. People should be ashamed of themselves.
Well, you saw in the video, I was dumping stuff into the box and it was IMMEDIATELY disappearing. People just stand there like that guy in the turkey mask, with their hand in the cookie jar. It's pretty sad. Vending machines to the rescue. -Noodle
I'm level 140 and this is the first Fasnacht since I started, so it's likely that players around my level are using the box legitimately. You have to grab quick though. If I get a duplicate from the box I usually put it back or give it to a friend. The common ones i get from the parade I sell for 199 and they go instantly.
The people going AFK 24\7 must have some good internet because when I do it for an hour or two (while making dinner) I come back to "Disconnected from Server" half the time.
That means that the server you were on got taken down for maintenance. It happens to me too. Have you ever been playing and you get the popup with the 30 minute countdown? It’s that.
There's a holotape in the shed on the main road that has the weapon bench that leaves the possibility of off season fasnacht celebrations open. Basically they programmed the robots to decide when to celebrate fasnacht in hopes of getting more tourists to come to their town. HOWEVER "don't come to me if the robots decide to throw a party every day until the end of the world." Loooooooooooool CHAAARRRLIIEEEEEE!!!!! Also what's more annoying than the odds is that my favorite camp spot for Fasnacht has been wiped out. Bathesda increased the no build zone around Helvetia. So now I cannot build in the event zone. Last Fasnacht was my first. I was able to make my camp partly overlapping the event zone. So I built a nice little deck with instruments for people to sit on with missile turrets pointing across the river at the nearby scorched spawn point to catch them and any stray radtoads. I also put up extra food and alcohol and half price resources and steeply discounted plans. I made a ton of caps while I was AFKing the event because my shop was open there. I can still AFK the event but from just outside my camp. :( I'm really annoyed about it. That spot was PERFECT for hosting company for Fasnacht. I even had some food and water available for free as a form of "southern" hospitality. (aka virtual south in a game). I may have been AFKing, but I was not doing nothing for the game because I was supporting the players who were both running and AFKing the event.
5:00 420 is sadly not the total number of runs to get all the rare masks, not even close. 420 is only the number of runs to get the LAST (21st) rare mask after you've got the other 20. You need to add the number of runs to get the 20th, 19th, 18th, all the way to the 1st rare mask. And all their numbers are different too, with the 1st the easiest to get and requiring the least runs, and the 21st the hardest and requiring the most runs. If you add them all up, it's 1536 runs, which is way more than the 336 times the event occurs (24 times per day times 14 days). This is why so many people are still playing Fasnacht after 5 years, because a majority of them still haven't all the masks.
Being a newer player myself start about mid way last season I have been able to get some stuff from the box only taking one of there are multiple. At the end of the event I don’t even bother going to the box. I will say I did find the overseers donation box full of mask so if you wanna drop yours I would go there. Not a lot of people go there after I usually go to strap and box my stuff. Also I have to sit back during the event because my Xbox for some reason can not handle it it’s hella old but I can normally do the beginning and the end so I’m not like fully AFKing.
First time Fasnacht-er. The event was SO hyped leading up to it. I ran my first few and was like “This is what everyone was raving about!?” It’s incredibly boring. I can’t imagine how slow the bots were before if they were sped up this year. Per usual, the Cremator gang ruin the event for everyone with their blinding explosions and one-shoting everything. I don’t even waste ammo on this event anymore. Everyone runs to the spawns and tries to be the first one to kill something. I don’t even see the final boss anymore because the high levels camp the spawn and kill it within 3 seconds even before it has a chance to come out from behind the shed. AFKers? Couldn’t care less. The donation box is indeed a joke, so I don’t use it. I find low levels at my camp to drop masks to. Bethesda seems unable to capture what makes our favorite events fun and using a recipe for creating new events with those things in mind. Astounding.
You should have heard me when I saw my character in the video! I am one of the vultures, but I tend to put random things I don't want and stuff for the next Fasnacht event in the donation box. I was more interested in getting a picture or two of myself in the same event as No0dlP4ntz at that time and can't believe my emote made it in the background! I have only recently started joining events and this is my first go round with this event. Thanks for the experience!
Ahhh that's so cool! Yes, not everyone around that box is a vulture. Some people are donating, some are looking for something they don't have, and some (like me) are just there to film. That's so awesome that you were there and now you're in the video. I hope you're enjoying the event. It can get frustrating, but it doesn't have to be. I find it to be lot of fun. Hey, maybe we'll run into each other again out there :) -Noodle
I disagree. I think people attack AFKers not because they feel like their drop rates are being affected or they are being stolen from, its just the blatant fact they are freeloading off the event for the rewards and they are not expending any resources yet still get the rewards. Its like when you go to work and you see the lazy guy who does nothing yet still gets paid at the end of the week..ya dig?
I dig, and while you are correct, there are also people who think that AFKers are stealing from them. In order for someone to have stolen from you, you have to have lost something. If you did not, then it is not theft. Similarly, if there are 5 people running the event and 10 people AFK then those 10 people weren’t going to run the event anyway. You still only have 5 people running the event, and those 5 people would get the exact same rewards. So AFKers are not only not affecting your outcome, they are not affected by your emotions toward them. You’re just expending emotion for no reason. The idea that you have been wronged is entirely in your own mind, which means you can choose to feel differently.
I like the new masks, the collection box was a great idea until the turds of Appalachia came to exploit it. AFK away I say. I've soloed the event and it was fine. I get to play an event I enjoy just a little longer, and it's nice not having nukes go off all over the place while running it.
I was over the Fasnacht donation box as soon as I saw everything I dumped disappear as soon as it went in - 3 star legendaries (I'd completed Eviction Notice on another world,) masks, chems, purified water. It wasn't the newbies getting it, level 972 was the one who was waddling away from the donation box.
Thanks for all your hard work and everything you do for the community! Quick note: a 5% rare drop rate means if you run 20 events, you still have about a 1/3 chance to never see a rare mask.
How do you figure? One is 5% of 20, so in a perfect statistical universe you should get one rare out of every 20 runs. Ofc the sample size is too small. It’s more like you should get 100 rares out of 2000 runs.
@Gamer_Aviator If the chance of getting one is 5%, the chance of not getting one is 95%. The chance of not getting one 20 times in a row, then is .95^20, or about .3584. The probability of not getting even one rare mask after running the event 20 times is nearly 36%. It's deceptive, I know, because you want 20*.05 to equal 1, but probability doesn't work that way.
@Gamer_Aviator For example, the probability of a coin flip being heads is .5 but you are not guaranteed a head after two flips. In fact, the probability of getting that head after two flips is only 75%, in a 'perfect statistical' sense. It's even small enough that we can name each of the possible outcomes to show that 1: there are four, and 2: exactly one of these equally-likely outcomes has no heads. They are (H,H),(H,T),(T,H),(T,T). One quarter of the time, two coin flips will both be tails.
With AFKing it (about 50% of the time), i participate in around 15 runs a day, after 5 days that's around 80 runs. One rare mask and that was a duplicate. I don't use the donation box, instead i drop masks & plans into the mailbox outside the Post Office.
Im scared to even look into the donation box now incase i get mistaken to be a vulture. I even heard one guy that had his mike on saying "look at all those vultures" when everyone was going to the box to put their unwanted items in.
i have had several times that i was running Fasnacht and realized i was the only person out of over 10 that was not AFK. when that happens i just go to another server. i also barely think Fasnacht worth doing with the low rate of return. about all i get is common plans and masks.
Look when u have to play none stop for the entire run of the event an can't get anything rare or cool I don't think people would afk. I work for a living an have a family. I can't sit all day an night to get crap. Yes sometimes I afk mainly for the cores. I haven't got crap. I keep getting the soldiers mask.
The 1-off thing you refer to was an April fools surprise week. Edit : donation box fix; implement a tagged item system were once an item enters the box it's tagged "unsellable"
Limiting high player lvl from taking from the donation box is irrelevant. You can be high lvl player and have limited times to play. Therefore those high lvl player will still rely on donation to collect all the masks they want. You can be a low lvl player but grind the event all day. What they can do is limit how many items you can take from the donation box per hours. If everyone is limit to and can only take 1 item from the donation box per hour, they'll be more considerate on what they take and not just take everything.
I agree. My main is just above lvl 700 & I own zero rare masks. I don’t afk or have the time to ditch my other responsibilities for extra game time because there’s an event on. That being said, I’ve run this event many many times, it’s always a beret or sun mask for me, lol. I don’t even bother putting them in my vendor anymore, I had masks for 5 caps sitting for weeks!
i agree with you on everything until 15:45, for all the times you haven't seen it, i have, i just woke up in a dead server, i came across 12 people afk in a server last night, anyone active had left.. so while yeah 23v1 is probably rare, cases just as fkd exist all too common.
I properly prepare for the event a head of time. Having everything needed for each of the robots. As an end game player I don’t donate a mask to the box I give it away freely I run it solo or solo with a friend and the spare mask we drop for players especially for new players.
Nice. It goes a lot faster if you’re prepared. I’ve been in events like that where the robots are found and then their little mini quests resolved a couple seconds later.
This is my very first time playing Fasnacht and I think people are upset with me when I look in the box but I still need almost all the masks I can’t get anything out of the box without people camping the box it’s so bad I’ve been expermenting by putting hundreds of pounds of boiled water in the box and it always disappears within half a second of it going into the box
funniest part of this whole event is that the acronym AFK has been added to the bad words list on the Bethesda discord.. likely due to the good/bad/etc arguements.
I have one of the rarest skins in the whole game the nuka cherry paint that was part of the 1st or 2nd prime bundle and never released again, ive only seen like maybe 1 other person with it. There's probly more, but everyone wears secret service or whatever and not alot of people wear combat, metal or leather
I put spoiled meat in there for them to spam the box lol. Especially if I see someone just crouching over there to just hoard it. It isn't like they need it to complete a collection. Or a one star heavy power armor or weapon just to weight them down.
This is my first fuasnauch. I am Current afk (provided it doesn't crash) because I have a job and these drop rates are abysmal. I've only gotten one glowing mask and that's because some one gave it to me. And I've done the event idk atleast 12 times each day since it's been going.
Personally, they need to make an update where they can lock high player levels from being able to take stuff out of those donation boxes because I put stuff in there for the lower end of people and sat there and watched the level 800 take all the stuff I put in there and then go sell it at his vendorand one of the servers if you mean, vultures like that then yes
There is a final boss? I ran this event a couple of times and there were so few enemies and they died so quickly, I didn't even had the need to draw my weapon. There are lots of people participating in the event and that makes me want to just afk it or not participate at all, because I don't even want or like any of the masks.
yes. There's always a final boss. Sometimes the fight happens VERY quickly. There are three places where a boss will appear: behind a tree across from the bonfire, in the middle of the road, or down the road by the barn or even behind the barn.
Hey guys, love your channel and content. I've only gotten one rare mask (glowing robot) but I did FINALLY get one that I've been wanting forever... Father Winter PA Helmet. I would love to see a way to trade in X amount of common to get an uncommon mask, or X many uncommon to get a rare mask... but I would like to choose the rare mask. I personally will be AFK when I am not able to play but I do tend to run the event at least 5 times daily.
Your assumptions about how AFKers affect the servers is way off. Regardless if whether or not someone is participating in combat or doing anything at all doesn’t mean their character isn’t creating load on the server. Even if you’re AFK the server is still tracking all the stats for your character. It’s still tracking any timers you might have going. It’s still tracking how long you’ve been standing or sitting where you are. If you choose to play an instrument on your AFK escapades, it’s tracking how long you’ve been doing that. As other people kill enemies around you, it’s tracking whether or not you contributed to that kill. When anything in the environment changes, those changes are being propagated to every character in the area. So yes, being AFK still puts plenty of load on the server instance. Especially when there are lots of things happening around the AFKer.
There is a TON of AFK on xbox. Per server switch, there is at least 5+ AFK. It's fine to me, because if there is too many, just join a new server after the event like you mentioned.
Honestly I'm hoping that they start just doing the random one throughout the year have that and just have the holiday primary ones for the holidays so throughout the year we can actually do all of them multiple times
I have the butter churn , glowing alien , glowing unicorn and glowing SBQ along with various crud . lol , the bosses still get nuked instantly regardless of what they are.
So far I've gotten the butter churn, but this event really burns me given how low the drop rates are. Like most, I'm chasing a glowing unicorn, even with two weeks, I'll be surprised if I get it.
I feel my luck is all gone because I got a glowing blue devil my first event ever and I keep getting goblins now and I barely have anytime to play and I’m not gonna go in afking!
The AFK situation doesn’t really bother me too much. The problem I have with this event, and it’s even worse for other events, is when high level players instantly kill all enemies and I can’t gain XP because there is literally no enemies left. They farm all the XP, intentionally preventing any lower ranked players from getting any XP. That is what really bothers me. And there is literally nothing you can do about it.
Like personally, a lot of these vendors, they want to sell everything in there for like ridiculous amounts but if you server you can get anything in that game from somebody else for dirt cheap
This is my first event and it's not bad. I have no issue with the afkers since it doesn't affect the event, but getting nuked 3x certainly does. The donation box is a joke and I ignore it now; I do like the ammo converter concept though. I was selling my masks cheap at my vendor until a high level swooped in and bought all of them in one shot, even the berets lol. I did get a glowing blue devil mask so feel pretty lucky there. Thanks for the video and take care.
I don’t even go to the box as a level 38, I already got the Mr fuzzy suit and mascot hat for being nice from another player JUST by not being a vulture. I already got almost all the mask for playing AND nice players giving them to me for free just for being nice. Level 1000s being vultures.
Good suggestion with the level cap. However too many high level players would just use a level 1 alt/mule. i drop in a ton of useless misc/holotapes/plans. Enough so its just irritating to have to sort through.
I show up to Fasnacht, but I don't help as everything is dead before my gauss mini gun can spin up, or before I can get in range with my flamer, so I just sit at the end
i ran soooooo many fasnachts, i got no rares, a crap ton of "uncommon" masks so many so that i was donating them in the box and only keeping one for myself, and a few common ones from previous events. got many many more of the uncommon. kinda disappointed, i wanted the glowing alien mask its not even popular either. maybe next time i guess
i personally come prepared with everything needed to activate the protrectrons but i afk the march itself, it's still too slow and the most boring part of the event. and yeah i once donated a mask to the box and a lvl 4000+ snatched it in like a second. i'll just drop the masks i already have to low levels after the event ends
Nice vid guys, thanks, I don’t agree with afk, as you’re getting rewarded for not helping, so no from me, in terms of the donation box, it’s pointless, all of your ideas for this were on point, I’ve given away dupes, I’ve also sold dupes rather than trying to locate low levels that perhaps need them, I’ve found one rare glowie in the scorchbeast mask but really want the rare glowie alien, I’m hoping to get it before this ends, but not holding out much hope of that. If anyone wants to swap a glowie scorch for a glowie alien, please let me know. Thanks.
I traded someone a normal Unicorn mask for a Deathclaw mask. So I guess I have at least one rare mask. But I have yet to get one from the event itself.
The drop rates are ridiculous now. I dont mind some RNG but its just not fun at all when I got FOUR WITCH MASKS IN A ROW TODAY. I start my AFK attempts tomorrow from my camp in the event radius
I sell all my common older masks for 50c in my vendor. Like I said, I am pretty new (about 2 months in), this is my 1st Fasnacht but I am level 166. I looked in the donation box in the beginning but just seen people putting junk in it and it getting instantly grabbed. I don't even go up to it anymore.
I afk when im doing something in real lifea nd go full bore being as helpful as i can when im not. I still cant run every ine but ive got plenty of good ones and one new rare one. Message lower level players and hand them the mask directly is the move. Afk is good but make sure youre carrying the load at least a few times ya know?
Hello love your content !! . But I want to give another angle on high level players taken from the donation box. High level is subjective, what level do we consider high level. Above 50 , 500. I’m at level 524 been playing for a little over a year and because of work schedules and other factors this is my first Fasnacht event that I was able to play. I didn’t have any mask before this past week. I have gotten the thumbs down and Angry emotes. But no way to tell them that just because I’m at 500 + doesn’t mean i have that mask. Thank you again always love your content and discussions.

That's so cool! Welcome! -Noodle
How did your town fair in killing the animals that come to attack the paraders?
I want to go irl next year. Supposedly the town has embraced the game and try to make the gamers feel welcome.
I like that point system suggestion. Trade masks, gain points, and select to get a random mask of chosen tier. Higher tiers cost more of course. Donation box that is a free for all will always be dominated by greed.
I like that. I think they should just auto eject fr23omp the event space but they still haven't fixed the tavern wall so not expecting much.q
Fasnacht should run every 30 mins, servers would struggle but people wouldn't mind as much if they were given more of a chance, it's so disheartening to wait an entire hour just to get your 3rd Toothy Man Mask
or your fifth f*n beret
Or for it to crash at the last minute and you’re screwed
Mate I had 11 barets in a freakin row
"people wouldn't mind" That is just not correct. Think about it. People are already complaining about it saying they've crashed. But if you increase how much they're crashing then they just won't do the event.
Yup then you see the people you KNOW afk in their fifth glowing mask. It's annoying and it leads to nukes or me pushing the ones standing to Sutton. Say hi to the Scorched pu55yd3$7120y312666

Well, the bar filled, but then stopped just before maxing out. This basically prevented the event from progressing.. I don't know what happened in the end because I didn't stick around.

I think the donation should be locked to masks only. However, the game tracks which masks you have. And you can only take masks you don’t have out of the donation box.
I love this idea. Makes sense and is fair so people can't grab repeats of the rare masks to sell.
They'd have to actually do thier job which is something they won't do for an event that ends next week
never gonna happen, beth dont gaf
People would probably just offload the dupes to their mule characters. Honestly most of the solutions they could implement would end up with ppl finding workarounds. Personally, though , I think the donation box is fine.

I feel it would be pretty easy for someone to complete their full common collection using only the donation box... But I personally never saw a rare mask inside the donation box...
I wish the math actually worked out like this in practice. 122 masks and one rare out of the lot.
@@kevinmills5921 only did 7 and got the glowing turkey mask 😁
@@S8erLuis must be nice. Up to 188 runs, and now have 2 rare masks. Still no glowing.
that whole section is pointless and makes people look dumb when they try to involve the math in chance, its like people have never rolled a fkn dice before.
I got two glowing masks after just getting jesters and barrett's every time I played, so always hang in there because your look could change in a heartbeat. One of the glowing masks didnt show in my inventory until I fast traveled to my camp after the event, then I looked and had the glowing robot which is probably the least cool looking one in the game imho, because it doesnt have that much glowing parts on it, but I still wear it with pride every day.
I counted ten afk people on one server. That was all I just counted while running. I failed two events on two separate servers cause it was me and one other person trying to complete it for everyone.
I guess I'm lucky then cause I scored a glowing robot mask...
Edit; The Donation box acting like the ammo converter would be a good idea
I have done so many fasnacht events with no rare masks but I have 2 friends that have gotten 3 rare masks each…
yeah they coded it like ass, are you still playing or did you finally get the memo, this game isnt built to be fair, how can todd suck FOMO money out of you if everyone has the same drop chance and a good one at that...
I've noticed the "Vultures" as well. It's a sad state of affairs. I've ran probably 35ish events and haven't gotten the 1 thing that I want, hahaha, the butter churn. Some glowing or new masks would be cool, but I'm indifferent to most of them. I also wish they would remove the AFK spot, or find a way to kick them from events. For me, it's not about stealing, it's about participating. Yesterday I had 2 different events fail and not get rewards because it was only myself and 1 level under 50 doing the event. It said there were 8-10 people at both events, but they certainly weren't participating.
I went into a 1 story house there and there was 5 or 6 people afk in there lmao looked like a heroin den .
Pretty much.
The high level thing would suck since this is my very first time playing this event and ive been in a couple of different lobbys where people were dropping tins of old masks in the box and i was able to one of each and have even put in my multiple ones too
first event and im like 200-206, im still learning tonnes about this game so 200 means nothing, considering i got there in like 5 weeks, im still fresh. i think that level idea might have been the most bs one of them all, level 51 is NOT level 1723
I think selling the masks in your stash for 5 caps is the best solution.
That's what I do, just add to vendor
agreed!
The box outside vault 76 is best option imo as everyone will be selling them so they will be just unwanted weight
I tried that. The vultures just check your vendor and buy you out.
@@brianwolf5752 A man can only do so much.
Fun fact the blueridge branding iron works with friendly fire ❤ love the vid
Does anyone else have a problem the jetpack in this event you shoot up in the air you are so far up you just die as soon as you land
Happens when large amounts of players are in an area. Something to do with lag. I just don't expell my ap until around two seconds before hitting the ground to cushion the fall. It doesn't always work, but it helps when you get used to it
@@slimewon i do the same thing just before I land but most of the time I still die lol
@@slimewon at least it's not just me
Yeah, I've died a couple of times that way so far. Luckily I can jump to the top of the buildings without using the jetpack
I would if I didn't have Bird Bones.
80+ runs in the first week and all I got was 1 glowing mask. No other glowing or rares. I DID get the Helvetia flower display, vegetable man stein, butter churn, and all the bells. Had to buy the actual bell display from someone’s vendor, though. If I get witch or blue devil one more time I’m gonna scream 😂
I've had two situations that I've played the event solo with nine or more afk individuals.
Haha. Vulture's is 100% correct. I've been watching high-level players stand next to the donation box and wait. If anyone puts something into the box the high-level players rush to empty the box. Bethesda needs to put a level cap on the box. Level 50 to 100 IMO. People should be ashamed of themselves.
Well, you saw in the video, I was dumping stuff into the box and it was IMMEDIATELY disappearing. People just stand there like that guy in the turkey mask, with their hand in the cookie jar. It's pretty sad. Vending machines to the rescue. -Noodle
I didn't use this box on purpose it's too easy for someone to take all. Better have your doubles in your vendor for a low price.
@@LudovicLorantI agree with you. I'm going to start putting them in my vendor at a price that new players can afford.
I like to dump notes and holotapes I don’t need in the box, it’s funny watching it all disappear instantly.
bunch of sooks...honestly
I'm level 140 and this is the first Fasnacht since I started, so it's likely that players around my level are using the box legitimately. You have to grab quick though. If I get a duplicate from the box I usually put it back or give it to a friend. The common ones i get from the parade I sell for 199 and they go instantly.
The people going AFK 24\7 must have some good internet because when I do it for an hour or two (while making dinner) I come back to "Disconnected from Server" half the time.
That means that the server you were on got taken down for maintenance. It happens to me too. Have you ever been playing and you get the popup with the 30 minute countdown? It’s that.
Day two of the event got me a glowing alien mask. I feel like that's pretty good.
Extremely well
@@TheTortaLover_YT Ok no bs. Just got a second glowing alien mask. 😐😑😐
Alien mask looks really good tbh
just a tiny correction as theres 335 fasnachts in the 2 weeks - last hour is also the reset time and doesnt trigger one
There's a holotape in the shed on the main road that has the weapon bench that leaves the possibility of off season fasnacht celebrations open. Basically they programmed the robots to decide when to celebrate fasnacht in hopes of getting more tourists to come to their town. HOWEVER "don't come to me if the robots decide to throw a party every day until the end of the world."
Loooooooooooool CHAAARRRLIIEEEEEE!!!!!
Also what's more annoying than the odds is that my favorite camp spot for Fasnacht has been wiped out. Bathesda increased the no build zone around Helvetia. So now I cannot build in the event zone. Last Fasnacht was my first. I was able to make my camp partly overlapping the event zone. So I built a nice little deck with instruments for people to sit on with missile turrets pointing across the river at the nearby scorched spawn point to catch them and any stray radtoads. I also put up extra food and alcohol and half price resources and steeply discounted plans. I made a ton of caps while I was AFKing the event because my shop was open there. I can still AFK the event but from just outside my camp. :( I'm really annoyed about it. That spot was PERFECT for hosting company for Fasnacht. I even had some food and water available for free as a form of "southern" hospitality. (aka virtual south in a game). I may have been AFKing, but I was not doing nothing for the game because I was supporting the players who were both running and AFKing the event.
hahahaha a charlie the unicorn fan!!!! That's really cool about the holotape. I did know that. Thank you.
5:00 420 is sadly not the total number of runs to get all the rare masks, not even close. 420 is only the number of runs to get the LAST (21st) rare mask after you've got the other 20. You need to add the number of runs to get the 20th, 19th, 18th, all the way to the 1st rare mask. And all their numbers are different too, with the 1st the easiest to get and requiring the least runs, and the 21st the hardest and requiring the most runs. If you add them all up, it's 1536 runs, which is way more than the 336 times the event occurs (24 times per day times 14 days). This is why so many people are still playing Fasnacht after 5 years, because a majority of them still haven't all the masks.
Being a newer player myself start about mid way last season I have been able to get some stuff from the box only taking one of there are multiple. At the end of the event I don’t even bother going to the box. I will say I did find the overseers donation box full of mask so if you wanna drop yours I would go there. Not a lot of people go there after I usually go to strap and box my stuff. Also I have to sit back during the event because my Xbox for some reason can not handle it it’s hella old but I can normally do the beginning and the end so I’m not like fully AFKing.
First time Fasnacht-er. The event was SO hyped leading up to it. I ran my first few and was like
“This is what everyone was raving about!?”
It’s incredibly boring. I can’t imagine how slow the bots were before if they were sped up this year. Per usual, the Cremator gang ruin the event for everyone with their blinding explosions and one-shoting everything. I don’t even waste ammo on this event anymore. Everyone runs to the spawns and tries to be the first one to kill something. I don’t even see the final boss anymore because the high levels camp the spawn and kill it within 3 seconds even before it has a chance to come out from behind the shed.
AFKers? Couldn’t care less.
The donation box is indeed a joke, so I don’t use it. I find low levels at my camp to drop masks to.
Bethesda seems unable to capture what makes our favorite events fun and using a recipe for creating new events with those things in mind. Astounding.
bethesda doesnt care about anything other than microtransations.
You should have heard me when I saw my character in the video! I am one of the vultures, but I tend to put random things I don't want and stuff for the next Fasnacht event in the donation box. I was more interested in getting a picture or two of myself in the same event as No0dlP4ntz at that time and can't believe my emote made it in the background! I have only recently started joining events and this is my first go round with this event. Thanks for the experience!
Ahhh that's so cool! Yes, not everyone around that box is a vulture. Some people are donating, some are looking for something they don't have, and some (like me) are just there to film. That's so awesome that you were there and now you're in the video. I hope you're enjoying the event. It can get frustrating, but it doesn't have to be. I find it to be lot of fun. Hey, maybe we'll run into each other again out there :) -Noodle
I disagree. I think people attack AFKers not because they feel like their drop rates are being affected or they are being stolen from, its just the blatant fact they are freeloading off the event for the rewards and they are not expending any resources yet still get the rewards. Its like when you go to work and you see the lazy guy who does nothing yet still gets paid at the end of the week..ya dig?
I dig, and while you are correct, there are also people who think that AFKers are stealing from them. In order for someone to have stolen from you, you have to have lost something. If you did not, then it is not theft. Similarly, if there are 5 people running the event and 10 people AFK then those 10 people weren’t going to run the event anyway. You still only have 5 people running the event, and those 5 people would get the exact same rewards. So AFKers are not only not affecting your outcome, they are not affected by your emotions toward them. You’re just expending emotion for no reason. The idea that you have been wronged is entirely in your own mind, which means you can choose to feel differently.
@@Gamer_Aviator afkers steal server latency from other players. That and not actually earning the masks is super lame.
I like the new masks, the collection box was a great idea until the turds of Appalachia came to exploit it. AFK away I say. I've soloed the event and it was fine. I get to play an event I enjoy just a little longer, and it's nice not having nukes go off all over the place while running it.
I was over the Fasnacht donation box as soon as I saw everything I dumped disappear as soon as it went in - 3 star legendaries (I'd completed Eviction Notice on another world,) masks, chems, purified water. It wasn't the newbies getting it, level 972 was the one who was waddling away from the donation box.
Thanks for all your hard work and everything you do for the community! Quick note: a 5% rare drop rate means if you run 20 events, you still have about a 1/3 chance to never see a rare mask.
How do you figure? One is 5% of 20, so in a perfect statistical universe you should get one rare out of every 20 runs. Ofc the sample size is too small. It’s more like you should get 100 rares out of 2000 runs.
@Gamer_Aviator If the chance of getting one is 5%, the chance of not getting one is 95%. The chance of not getting one 20 times in a row, then is .95^20, or about .3584. The probability of not getting even one rare mask after running the event 20 times is nearly 36%. It's deceptive, I know, because you want 20*.05 to equal 1, but probability doesn't work that way.
@Gamer_Aviator For example, the probability of a coin flip being heads is .5 but you are not guaranteed a head after two flips. In fact, the probability of getting that head after two flips is only 75%, in a 'perfect statistical' sense. It's even small enough that we can name each of the possible outcomes to show that 1: there are four, and 2: exactly one of these equally-likely outcomes has no heads. They are (H,H),(H,T),(T,H),(T,T). One quarter of the time, two coin flips will both be tails.
With AFKing it (about 50% of the time), i participate in around 15 runs a day, after 5 days that's around 80 runs. One rare mask and that was a duplicate. I don't use the donation box, instead i drop masks & plans into the mailbox outside the Post Office.
A little tip; if you run out of fuel you can just bash with your flame weapon and it will heal them with friendly fire
Good tip!
Is the rocket pack on the character with the glowing SBQ mask a skin or is it like a different armor than the secret service?
Im scared to even look into the donation box now incase i get mistaken to be a vulture. I even heard one guy that had his mike on saying "look at all those vultures" when everyone was going to the box to put their unwanted items in.
At least 10% afk people, 25% whiny racists on mics, 25% vultures on the roof, and 10% new players. Oh boy!
I know I’m not getting a glowing, didn’t last time either… just give me the butter churn and flowers I beg 🙏
Just had to come back and say y’all are my favorite fallout 76 channel by far
i have had several times that i was running Fasnacht and realized i was the only person out of over 10 that was not AFK. when that happens i just go to another server. i also barely think Fasnacht worth doing with the low rate of return. about all i get is common plans and masks.
I got a glowing turkey fairly early into the event but sold it for 5000 caps.
Score!! I saw a glowing unicorn yesterday. Looks like a toddler went crazy with black light paint.
i got glowing turkey on my 2nd round on this event, ive been wearing it since XD
I’ll buy glowing masks for 30k if anyone is interested ps4
Look when u have to play none stop for the entire run of the event an can't get anything rare or cool I don't think people would afk. I work for a living an have a family. I can't sit all day an night to get crap. Yes sometimes I afk mainly for the cores. I haven't got crap. I keep getting the soldiers mask.
I’ll be happy with just getting the new masks and the new plans.
If I get a glowing mask that’s just a bonus.
I enjoy all the masks I get. Even if I have a million of that kind. I can make fun displays or just give them away. -Noodle
If you two are on PC I just got a glowing unicorn drop. Y'all can have it.
That’s sweet, but we are on PS. Thank you though!
The 1-off thing you refer to was an April fools surprise week.
Edit : donation box fix; implement a tagged item system were once an item enters the box it's tagged "unsellable"
Limiting high player lvl from taking from the donation box is irrelevant. You can be high lvl player and have limited times to play. Therefore those high lvl player will still rely on donation to collect all the masks they want. You can be a low lvl player but grind the event all day.
What they can do is limit how many items you can take from the donation box per hours. If everyone is limit to and can only take 1 item from the donation box per hour, they'll be more considerate on what they take and not just take everything.
I agree. My main is just above lvl 700 & I own zero rare masks. I don’t afk or have the time to ditch my other responsibilities for extra game time because there’s an event on. That being said, I’ve run this event many many times, it’s always a beret or sun mask for me, lol. I don’t even bother putting them in my vendor anymore, I had masks for 5 caps sitting for weeks!
They should limit how many items you can take. I've never gotten a single item. It just evaporates instantly and all that's left are intestines, lol
The donation box needs a timeout/cool down or a system where you have to place an item of equal value or category to remove one...
I seem to be getting the new masks well except their glowing counterparts.
i agree with you on everything until 15:45, for all the times you haven't seen it, i have, i just woke up in a dead server, i came across 12 people afk in a server last night, anyone active had left.. so while yeah 23v1 is probably rare, cases just as fkd exist all too common.
Got the Loon and Father Winter Power Helmet. And the butter churn.
Really want that glowing robot.
I properly prepare for the event a head of time. Having everything needed for each of the robots. As an end game player I don’t donate a mask to the box I give it away freely I run it solo or solo with a friend and the spare mask we drop for players especially for new players.
Nice. It goes a lot faster if you’re prepared. I’ve been in events like that where the robots are found and then their little mini quests resolved a couple seconds later.
Happy to update after 70 or more runs I finally looted a glowing mask!
This is my very first time playing Fasnacht and I think people are upset with me when I look in the box but I still need almost all the masks I can’t get anything out of the box without people camping the box it’s so bad I’ve been expermenting by putting hundreds of pounds of boiled water in the box and it always disappears within half a second of it going into the box
"Happy Fasnacht, Merry Faschnat"
Like 2 people being on big dope :D
I dump stuff I don’t need into the dono box so yeah clogging their inventory
funniest part of this whole event is that the acronym AFK has been added to the bad words list on the Bethesda discord.. likely due to the good/bad/etc arguements.
Im still trying to get a rare mask but i did get my resource plan so im happy
I have one of the rarest skins in the whole game the nuka cherry paint that was part of the 1st or 2nd prime bundle and never released again, ive only seen like maybe 1 other person with it. There's probly more, but everyone wears secret service or whatever and not alot of people wear combat, metal or leather
I have run Fasnacht several times now and have got no mask all I keep getting is a stupid Fasnacht Barrett.
I hate that thing. Keep trying!
I put spoiled meat in there for them to spam the box lol. Especially if I see someone just crouching over there to just hoard it. It isn't like they need it to complete a collection. Or a one star heavy power armor or weapon just to weight them down.
I’m having so much fun dropping all my trash in the mask donation box, and watching people snatch in up. 😂 my inventory has never been cleaner.
What are the odds of getting the planter/bells/butter churn? Still havent gotten the churn
I've seen as many as 12 AFK'rs and just this morning it was averaging 5 on the servers wife and I hopped to.
This is my first fuasnauch. I am Current afk (provided it doesn't crash) because I have a job and these drop rates are abysmal. I've only gotten one glowing mask and that's because some one gave it to me. And I've done the event idk atleast 12 times each day since it's been going.
I LOVE the 'converter' idea!
Personally, they need to make an update where they can lock high player levels from being able to take stuff out of those donation boxes because I put stuff in there for the lower end of people and sat there and watched the level 800 take all the stuff I put in there and then go sell it at his vendorand one of the servers if you mean, vultures like that then yes
There is a final boss? I ran this event a couple of times and there were so few enemies and they died so quickly, I didn't even had the need to draw my weapon. There are lots of people participating in the event and that makes me want to just afk it or not participate at all, because I don't even want or like any of the masks.
yes. There's always a final boss. Sometimes the fight happens VERY quickly. There are three places where a boss will appear: behind a tree across from the bonfire, in the middle of the road, or down the road by the barn or even behind the barn.
Done the event at least 40 times. Havent gotten anything noteworthy. Sooooo frustrating.
Hey guys, love your channel and content. I've only gotten one rare mask (glowing robot) but I did FINALLY get one that I've been wanting forever... Father Winter PA Helmet.
I would love to see a way to trade in X amount of common to get an uncommon mask, or X many uncommon to get a rare mask... but I would like to choose the rare mask.
I personally will be AFK when I am not able to play but I do tend to run the event at least 5 times daily.
Your assumptions about how AFKers affect the servers is way off.
Regardless if whether or not someone is participating in combat or doing anything at all doesn’t mean their character isn’t creating load on the server. Even if you’re AFK the server is still tracking all the stats for your character. It’s still tracking any timers you might have going. It’s still tracking how long you’ve been standing or sitting where you are. If you choose to play an instrument on your AFK escapades, it’s tracking how long you’ve been doing that. As other people kill enemies around you, it’s tracking whether or not you contributed to that kill. When anything in the environment changes, those changes are being propagated to every character in the area.
So yes, being AFK still puts plenty of load on the server instance. Especially when there are lots of things happening around the AFKer.
There is a TON of AFK on xbox. Per server switch, there is at least 5+ AFK. It's fine to me, because if there is too many, just join a new server after the event like you mentioned.
Honestly I'm hoping that they start just doing the random one throughout the year have that and just have the holiday primary ones for the holidays so throughout the year we can actually do all of them multiple times
I really want the Scorchbeast queen glowing mask so bad but the chances are terrible to get any single glowing mask! It’s ridiculous :v
I have the butter churn , glowing alien , glowing unicorn and glowing SBQ along with various crud .
lol , the bosses still get nuked instantly regardless of what they are.
This is exactly what I predicted would happen in that last video. I knew that the Vultures would come in and clean it out, and sadly I called it.
So far I've gotten the butter churn, but this event really burns me given how low the drop rates are. Like most, I'm chasing a glowing unicorn, even with two weeks, I'll be surprised if I get it.
I'm after the glowing unicorn too. -Noodle
I feel my luck is all gone because I got a glowing blue devil my first event ever and I keep getting goblins now and I barely have anytime to play and I’m not gonna go in afking!
Got the glowing unicorn last night but can’t figure out the outfit for It I wanted the Turkey
@@saltydad2987 I’m wearing a white tuxedo with the white one but yea, hard to figure out the glowing lol
@@VulMori thinking about going all in and wearing the showstopper. Or perhaps the straight jacket Make myself look crazy
The AFK situation doesn’t really bother me too much. The problem I have with this event, and it’s even worse for other events, is when high level players instantly kill all enemies and I can’t gain XP because there is literally no enemies left. They farm all the XP, intentionally preventing any lower ranked players from getting any XP. That is what really bothers me. And there is literally nothing you can do about it.
Like personally, a lot of these vendors, they want to sell everything in there for like ridiculous amounts but if you server you can get anything in that game from somebody else for dirt cheap
This is my first event and it's not bad. I have no issue with the afkers since it doesn't affect the event, but getting nuked 3x certainly does. The donation box is a joke and I ignore it now; I do like the ammo converter concept though. I was selling my masks cheap at my vendor until a high level swooped in and bought all of them in one shot, even the berets lol. I did get a glowing blue devil mask so feel pretty lucky there. Thanks for the video and take care.
I don’t even go to the box as a level 38, I already got the Mr fuzzy suit and mascot hat for being nice from another player JUST by not being a vulture. I already got almost all the mask for playing AND nice players giving them to me for free just for being nice. Level 1000s being vultures.
This is the type i give too,If you are nice to me i will be nice back and give you stuff if i can even better if you are polite over the mic
Good suggestion with the level cap. However too many high level players would just use a level 1 alt/mule. i drop in a ton of useless misc/holotapes/plans. Enough so its just irritating to have to sort through.
Tonight me and 3 friends completed faschnacht with a bunch afkers!
I have had at least 4 5/5 robot completions that dropped me a beret instead of a mask, i cri ever time
The beret is so lame
There are work around for the black screen of death. After event fast travel too Bolton greens and then swap servers. And travel back. Boom 2 event
I show up to Fasnacht, but I don't help as everything is dead before my gauss mini gun can spin up, or before I can get in range with my flamer, so I just sit at the end
Only thing I put in the box are the many many berets... Enjoy! 😊
Oh where do you get that? I haven't gotten anything but the dam owl mask and a few blue devil's
i ran soooooo many fasnachts, i got no rares, a crap ton of "uncommon" masks so many so that i was donating them in the box and only keeping one for myself, and a few common ones from previous events. got many many more of the uncommon. kinda disappointed, i wanted the glowing alien mask its not even popular either. maybe next time i guess
omg, made youtube! my buddy and I are in this video (10:15) I have the MK3 power armor and my friend is on the left with is horse mask
i personally come prepared with everything needed to activate the protrectrons but i afk the march itself, it's still too slow and the most boring part of the event. and yeah i once donated a mask to the box and a lvl 4000+ snatched it in like a second. i'll just drop the masks i already have to low levels after the event ends
Nice vid guys, thanks, I don’t agree with afk, as you’re getting rewarded for not helping, so no from me, in terms of the donation box, it’s pointless, all of your ideas for this were on point, I’ve given away dupes, I’ve also sold dupes rather than trying to locate low levels that perhaps need them, I’ve found one rare glowie in the scorchbeast mask but really want the rare glowie alien, I’m hoping to get it before this ends, but not holding out much hope of that. If anyone wants to swap a glowie scorch for a glowie alien, please let me know. Thanks.
I traded someone a normal Unicorn mask for a Deathclaw mask. So I guess I have at least one rare mask. But I have yet to get one from the event itself.
Good trade
The drop rates are ridiculous now. I dont mind some RNG but its just not fun at all when I got FOUR WITCH MASKS IN A ROW TODAY.
I start my AFK attempts tomorrow from my camp in the event radius
Pro AFK. They aren't hurting anyone. Even when fasnacht isn't going on I go afk all the time just to leave my vendor open
I sell all my common older masks for 50c in my vendor.
Like I said, I am pretty new (about 2 months in), this is my 1st Fasnacht but I am level 166. I looked in the donation box in the beginning but just seen people putting junk in it and it getting instantly grabbed. I don't even go up to it anymore.
I afk when im doing something in real lifea nd go full bore being as helpful as i can when im not. I still cant run every ine but ive got plenty of good ones and one new rare one. Message lower level players and hand them the mask directly is the move. Afk is good but make sure youre carrying the load at least a few times ya know?
Hello love your content !! . But I want to give another angle on high level players taken from the donation box. High level is subjective, what level do we consider high level. Above 50 , 500. I’m at level 524 been playing for a little over a year and because of work schedules and other factors this is my first Fasnacht event that I was able to play. I didn’t have any mask before this past week. I have gotten the thumbs down and Angry emotes. But no way to tell them that just because I’m at 500 + doesn’t mean i have that mask. Thank you again always love your content and discussions.
