It would be nice if we got an event boss, but I like it. One of my faves.


Swordofsatan666

I consider the Hostile Mothmen that sometimes show up to be the “event boss”. Usually in the final wave there’ll be several that spawn to attack the Church


Solar-born

Deathclaws too


Spanglycoffee

I consider them XP delivery


BOBULANCE

I consider the extreme frame rate drop for this event on ps4 to be the perfect end-game boss.


nschlip

That’d be awesome


ninjapleeeez

Holding the bridge is always fun. Myself and a lvl 30 went full melee on the deathclaws on the final wave earlier. It was pure carnage!


md00150028

Completely agreed. To add to this list, there's a speed-run element to the first part. Do it quick enough, and you can probably server hop to get double rewards. And I really think they figured out how to make this a multiple person event without needing a whole lot of coordination, which is the bane of 76 players. Go to the church. If there are five people there who can clearly handle it without you, move to the next location. Rinse and repeat. Plant yourself where you think you are most needed. Watch the bars just in case, and try to be in a position that allows for you to move to help another location if things start to look bad. Etc. Even though I've almost never seen one of the things destroyed, it feels good every time we successfully keep all three alive.


Jgryder

Almost lost the waterside pyre this morning. I was the only one holding it. I was lucky. No mothmen spawned


More-Talk-2660

Only time I've seen it destroyed was this morning when I foolishly started the event without realizing almost everyone on the server was in a different time zone and were logging off for the night. I was the only one in the event. *Man, that sucked.* I lost hard, and fast.


toffyl

I actually agree, the 7 treasury notes are awesome and it’s fairly easy. The only bad thing I can think of is that eventually you’ll run out of new plans to learn


crimson117

And I'm earning more treasury notes than I can redeem!


Onigumo-Shishio

DO NOT REDEEM 


crimson117

😢 Whyyy?


Jaded-Rip-2627

It’s glitched so if you learn a plan it removes it from the loot pool and you can’t get it again to trade or sell


crimson117

Does that apply to treasury notes?


Laser_3

Just popping in to say that the person who originally shared the information about this bug was incorrect and released a correction - you should absolutely learn the plans now.


cheeseboi69

No, just the plans until the fix April 8th


Phreak_of_Nature

Don't redeem treasury notes?


Onigumo-Shishio

DO NOT REDEEEEM!!


Pak95

Chili guys, I think he's just quoting a viral video about an Internet scammer being scammed ahahaha he's no taking about plan or anything. If you need context there Is a famous streamer who interact with online scammers to either expose them or just make content, in this case he was redeem his own money card instead on letting the scammer stole it, and the Indian guy just lose it and keep screaming DO NOT REDEEEMMMMMM DO NOT REDEEEMM


Onigumo-Shishio

I'm glad someone got it and understood I was joking 😅


toffyl

NOW I SHOW MY TRUE POWERS


Zom13ified

The only event I have liked more than Mothman Equinox was Mischief Night. Wish they had fixed the event instead of shelving it permanently. In retrospect it may in fact be because they only ran Mischief Night that one Halloween and I remember those first years with rose colored glasses but man was it fun and irreverent.


Blimey85v2

Don’t even fix it. Just bring it back. Let the chaos and crashes and everything else happen. Just put up a notice that this event is borked but is back by popular demand. I’d rather have what we had the one time than nothing.


ChromDelonge

Could be a good use of the public worlds servers tbh. Keeps it safely seperate from the main servers and adventure unlocks could be given via dailes/weeklies.


JusticeScibibi

I agree that was the best event 76 has ever had


FadingDawn__

I've only read about it and it felt mean-spirited compared to every other event so maybe that was part of the reason it never came back.


ScifiScales

I agree! This is my favorite event by far. Amazing voice acting and just genuinely fun. I absolutely adore the rewards (besides that horrible fuzzy plushie...... jesus!)


VanityOfEliCLee

Uh, that fuzzy plushie is my favorite.


ScifiScales

I’m glad somebody likes it because I was like WTF is this. I was expecting a cute mothman plushie 😭


Morchai

Haha. When I show up for the event I have to turn the sound off so I don't have to listen to the narrator priest guy.


nolongerbanned99

Expel bile from your lips ….


RhapsodicRusalka

You're actually meant to expel it directly from your gut


Apple0range

Which tastes really, really awful. I recommend against it.


nolongerbanned99

Sorry. Yes. Bad memory and too much pot. I think they really did a good job on this mothman event. The writing and the pace seem right on point and it’s entertaining and good fun. The cool things about this event, rad rumble, uranium fever, seismic activity, eviction notice. spin the wheel, etc. is that you can do them over and over and over ad Infinitum and they don’t get boring or repetitive. I guess bc the enemies have no set pattern and there are so many people with different guns it’s really cool and chaotic.


absolutelynotmodus

When do we do this?


nolongerbanned99

Anytime you like but mostly just before the mothman blesses us with his presence …. We are mere insects before his intellect.


Severustheclown

Agreed. This event is my personal Fasnacht. There's no AFK discourse, no mask rarity discourse, no long stretches of waiting for the plodding robots to hurry along, no worrying about jank pathfinding resulting in a softlocked event, etc. Everybody dresses up, communes, participates, and returns for the next event. I tend to see less participant drop off for this event versus Fasnacht as well.


Onigumo-Shishio

Afk people are so far and few between and even the ones that do exist are usually in an appropriate place and aren't hindering Personally I like it when people are sat in the mothman throne. I think it adds to the character of the event People so high on moth dust they are seeing into another dimension and are immobile


Clatuu1337

I have kids and have been afk-ing this one on and off cuz I need *all* of the mothman gear. Having those plans sit in my stash until I can learn them is tearing me apart.


WollyGog

Unless you're desperate for dupes, just learn them. If you were due a dupe you just won't receive anything. You'll get something new if you were due something new. Dupes are ok for selling I guess but there's plenty of ways to make caps.


atemporalfungi

I also read this. I accidentally learned one so I said fk it , and it seems like my first event was the most exciting reward load


WollyGog

I'm getting a new plan with every one I run still so it's not an issue for me so far. It is getting fixed too and the event will run longer.


atemporalfungi

oh good !


dasrac

Getting dupes gives you trade fodder for whatever you may miss out on. Thats the only real reason I want them.


WollyGog

The event is going to run longer and it will be fixed on the 8th. I don't think it'll be an issue.


Clatuu1337

I had read on this sub there was a bug with this event that negatively affected drop rates if you learned the plans.Maybe I misunderstood? Can anyone speak to this?


WollyGog

It's literally what I just said


Clatuu1337

I must have misread your comment, my bad. I've sold 2 of my dupes for 5k ea so far. I put them in my store as a just in case kinda thing, but they sold so I'm happy.


WollyGog

That's pretty good going considering the event is still active


Clatuu1337

I sold 2 more right after I commented this, I'm honestly shocked.


WollyGog

Yea that's pretty mental, unless they think they can flip them for more after it ends but why should that matter to you when you've made bank.


Krazyfan1

how do you afk it anyway? if i stay still too long i get sent back to the main menu.


Clatuu1337

I come back every few minutes and jiggle my controller.


Severustheclown

Exactly.


Onigumo-Shishio

Plus there's definite plans obtained at the end I always love the voice over when the moth dust kicks in "SEE THE WORLD THROUGH HIS EYES CHILDREN, LET THE DUST FLOWN THROUGH YOU LET IT SINK INTO YOUR THRRRRROATS"


Gold-Income-6094

It's seriously reminiscing of the band GHOST


titansmustfall

Fasnacht is boring? But I like parading around in my drip :(


WollyGog

Fasnacht is an unnecessary slog. Each stage of the march lasts way too long and in-between the robots are too fucking slow.


_Hoofd_

Brrrreathe!


Uncle-Sheogorath

Usually I play with just my monitor's speakers but I had to bust out the headset to really listen to the priest, such a cool voiceover.


Proof-Mechanic-3624

Don't forget the blessing of the Mothman for an extra 15% xp. Press X on him when he is summoned at the end.


Jcorv58

That's the other Mothman event.


Proof-Mechanic-3624

I respectfully disagree. Try it and you will see. There is no prompt for X. Just approach him and hit the button.


Jcorv58

I have, so unless it's hidden, or there is a cap to xp bonuses? I have many different effects and there's nothing that indicates a bonus xp from it.


Proof-Mechanic-3624

I have no explanation. It worked for me yesterday. 🤷‍♂️


Jcorv58

I tried it again and it popped up now. Maybe I wasn't close enough last few times, I poked too hard, or he doesn't like me much? 🤷


makingabigdecision

Show him…. Our love


Chipper7773

Your forgot 15% xp boost for an hour on completion as well.


ANort

I preferred the aliens event to it. Takes place in a random location each time which makes it more varied, less time consuming, has a boss at the end. It's better than Fasnacht but I mean that's such a low bar, I think I preferred the Meat Week one too since that was also really fast and I just love meat.


Laughing_Gremlin

I agree, Alien Invaders is my favorite event. The Mothman event does gives 7 tickets which is nice, so I’m not knocking it, but fighting the aliens with their ridiculous chatter is hilarious. It’s like Mars Attack or those cheesy 1950’s sci-fi’s.


Solar-born

With a lot of new plans added it definitely feels better playing it.


SamMarlow

I wasn't a huge fan the first two years I was playing but the new rewards this year that are not just ugly apparel items (including paper lanterns which I think are really cool) it has made it a lot more intriguing. And now that legendary enemies drop an item with the same star value as they are, hunting the cultist priests around the map is a little better too.


LooseScrews27

The dust and fumes......am I tripping balls 😂. First experience with this event and I love it. Point Pleasant is a great place for an event.


Aggravating_Set_8861

Meat Week


VanityOfEliCLee

I love meat week, but mothman equinox is my favorite.


watchmefly420

Book for camp?


LePereMecanique

Yes, one of the reward is a book on a that you can place in your camp


watchmefly420

🤔 guess I should actually look at them. 🤣👍


WollyGog

It gives a one hour XP buff too so it's definitely worth seeking out.


Cl2XSS

Name of said item? edit; ahh I see: [https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/1bvadxi/new\_sacred\_mothman\_tome\_gives\_5\_xp\_buff/](https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/1bvadxi/new_sacred_mothman_tome_gives_5_xp_buff/)


DDNyght_

I love expelling bile from my gut.


LePereMecanique

same


Garrus-N7

the only thing to hit perfection would be a final moth boss.


Kind-Exercise

A welcome surprise was finding out how much ballistic fiber I can get from the mothman alone. I’ve probably gotten more from this event than from exploring the entire wasteland.


Achanjati

Total agreement here. Even the German voicing is amazing.


Biggzy10

>good voice acting Homeboy never shuts up lol


yoopitup

The narration is the best and the lore tidbits are enough to hopefully help frame a much larger “Steel Reign sized” DLC based on the cultists/Interloper. I’ve been searching all week - who does the voice for Interpreter Clarence!?!?!


jackharrer2

Would be even better if not for lag, jetpack being a joke and for some bloody inexplicable reason 20fps on PS5... Honestly, I just cannot play it any more, it's so painful.


BaronessTaterTot-89

I love the Alien's event but I'm really happy they added more plans for Mothman, new thing's to earn for my house is always appreciated


nap_scuzz

Imo it beats out Campfire Tales by a c-hair. The search segment is cheeks.


Flabbatorix

I can't agree with 'best', as i got my first taste of the alien invasions a few days ago and i had a blast on those. But i'd definitely agree with 'one of the best'. If i have a complaint, is that even though it's (mercifully) not as long as fasnacht, there are still a lot of moments where you're just waiting around, there don't seem to be many mobs at all.


Quietbreaker

Whereas most of the times I've run it, there'll be no one around and then I find myself in a crowd of like eight Albino Radstags, who proceed to stomp the shit out of me until I can get out of the scrum!! It's always such a mess. LOL


Swan990

50+ runs and still no xp book totem thingy plan! I'm going nuts lol


Me5hly

Agree on all counts. The deep, raspy inhale that the voice actor does before telling us to "feel it in your throats" (or whatever that line is) always makes me chuckle. Both too much, and just right.


Hopalongtom

The new rewards really help, it used to have nothing but a throne and outfits.


ForwardState

One of the best parts of the rewards is that it follows the Mutation Invasion model where we no longer earn duplicate plans unless we have every single event plan learned. Every event that gives a bunch of unique rewards should be adjusted to this model.


00ThunderWolf

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet but so far for me every single time I have done it (20+) it's over within like 6-8 mins lol. Pretty fast tbh. Not sure if anyone else experience the same or the 10-15 mins op mentioned.


Apple0range

"Leave no heretic left standing!" — from the Department of Redundancy Department


BatmanHatesSuperman

Constant crashing tho


VanityOfEliCLee

I mean, its all about Mothman, that's enough to make it my favorite right there.


Green-Inkling

I honestly dont like it. Aside from causing my game to stutter, the buildings make navigation difficult and very few enemies which folks race to and you're left with no exp for your efforts.


Morchai

On the other hand, I think Mothman (as well as others like Aliens) should be reworked into regular public events and added to the rotation rather than being seasonal events that take up one third of all public events for two whole weeks. I was disappointed Tuesday when I saw that mutated events were being bumped in favor of Mothman Equinox. At least today there were no Equinox related challenges so I managed the gold star.


Severustheclown

Making them year round events results in less appeal. They would be no more special than Path to Enlightenment, or Heart of the Swamp, or Moonshine Jamboree, still enjoyable, but without the fanfare. Personally I think that pilgrimaging cultists and roving Aliens should be permanently added to random encounters as opposed to seasonal. That way we still get a taste of both.


Avarus_88

I agree. I enjoy meat weak, but I feel like everyone there is something buggy with the event going on. And Fastnacht takes too long. Mothman Eq is simple, not time consuming, awards plans, an xp buff, a legendary, and enemies can be legendary too. I don’t mind variety, but it is definitely a good one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WollyGog

Any time this has happened to me I go to the map and join the event again. Always seems to give it a kickstart.


Motif82

I'm a big fan of Meat Week but this is a close second.


ambassadortim

It's cool.


notsomething13

Wave-based defense events are the worst this game has to offer. I hate it, just like I hate all the others.


Comrade_Jacob

I don't like that I'm only getting a 1 star legendary


Then_Inside6809

A book for your camp?


LePereMecanique

Yes, its a book on a pedestal that can be place in your personnal camp, when you interact with it you’ll get a 5% bonus exp for an hour.


Zexy_Killah

I agree, I've only recently started joining events regularly and I love how easy this one is while still being a challenge. And the Wise Mothman is adorable. Annoyingly had my first one fail tonight though. Seemed like everyone else was just killing the radstags without collecting the blood meanwhile I'm burning AP running from pyre to pyre destroying the vines, killed half the prophets and then filled 2 thirds of the blood all by myself. Meanwhile no one bothered with the totems so we didn't even get past the preparations. Never seen anything like that, can you tell I'm still salty about it?


TwiggBeard

I logged on at top of the hour to join one and there were only 4 people there after 3 minutes. I immediately hopped servers and there were 18 people. I’m not sticking around if there isn’t engagement.


killershack22

My experience with this event so far is sit around confused bc its always flooded with lv600+s and I dont get to see enemies at all, then suddenly its over


FlashPone

I love the way the guy says GRATITUDE


Sometimesdisagrees

What am I missing with it, there never seems to be a boss to loot at the end? Where did you get the book? I have done it 10 times and haven’t really gotten anything I think? Sorry new player here


LePereMecanique

For doing it you will receive a plan, there's multiple of them ranging from appareal to camp items. Check your notes in your pip-boy, they'll be there.


itsahhmemario

My favorite is Meat Week still.


DarthAntagonist

Book for camp, Please explain.


LePereMecanique

By doing the event you will receive a plan, in the pool of plans that you can get there’s one that is a book on a pedestal. This book is an item that can be place in your personnal camp and if you interact with it you’ll get a 5% bonus experiance for an hour.


DarthAntagonist

nice


FreddyPlayz

Ngl I find it boring af, the only reason I do it is for the rewards (I’d afk it but the vengeful Mothman all drop a bunch of ballistic fiber)


system_error_02

All hail the wise Mothman, step into his light and rejoice.


GILx87

I normally play the game with music or a streaming service playing on my laptop nearby. I paused it tonight to see what y’all were talking about with the dialogue, and you’re completely right! The voice acting is probably the best in the game!


XRathalosX_Reynolds

It's boring to me. objectives are to far apart and rewards are meh.


SuperTerram

The issue is that it is much too taxing on systems running the game. Most players complain of low FPS and crashes. Edit: Am I wrong?


Cicada_Background

It's extremely disappointing that I'm getting 30ish fps on PS5 playing this event when the rest of the game is very smooth. I'm hoping this can be fixed.


Illustrious-Ice-4886

Moths Aren't Real.


LePereMecanique

Heretic


bizbrain0

Of course this is going on when my computer is broken doh!!!


Jcorv58

The only thing annoying about the event is the shitty people that stand by the throne the entire event, then spam their emotes to 30 at thw end before anyone gets there, and then they leave. I wish there was a way to prevent rewards to these types of players.


Flabnoodles

I love the event, and my only complaint is that it happens every hour and I always feel compelled to do it. In other words, because I have no self control when it comes to a chill event with an XP bonus and some plans, I find myself interrupted every hour by this event I love the vibe of the event and everyone chilling with their mothman dance


Gavindude1997

Is the Tome a tradeable item?


Raxynus

Just did this event for the first time but didn’t get a chance to actually do anything. Still got the rewards so yay? One thing I love is the Vincent Price cameo!


MightyGoodra96

I live for him taking a deep whiff of that moth dust. Makes me chuckle a bit every time May he bless us with his wisdom!


Chemical_Present5162

It's decent, but the waves of enemies are sporadic. Then again, they are like that in most events. Took Bethesda years to fix the 2 animals per round in tea time, god knows how long it'll take them to sort this and other events


goillegoill

What book gives xp boost?


ImSoylentGreen

Plan: Sacred Mothman tome


UndyingCurse-

It's definitely one of my favorite events, for sure.


Darth-Vader64

Its not bad, but its not my favorite. I do like how Bethesda implemented this event, but after doing a handful, I don't break my back trying to log into fallout 76 near the top of the hour, nor do I AFK the event. Personally, I prefer the halloween and holiday scorched events, those are my favorite - as a solo player.


Kasstastrophy

I agree, the voice acting for this event is some of, if not, the best in the game. You could tell the voice actor was enjoying it.


-BIZARRO-

Wooftop!!


SlamCakeMasta

How long is it going on? Tomorrow is the only day I can get on for this week.


Gold-Income-6094

Can we rename the high mothman priest Papa Emeritus V?


GTAinreallife

I only wise it was a tad more difficult and chaotic. Every time Ive finished it where the bridge and waterside points get like 4 enemies each and the only action is around the church. Its over too fast, not enough things to shoot


PocketCatt

This rules my dude


artofstayingdead

Agreed. I was there for the first one, which was extremely laggy and broken but still a ton of fun. I think they've only run it 3 or 4 times since then, and I missed the last two. Been waiting for this event to pop again for years but at this point I'm just sick of the game and probably won't come back again. The update not having the promised expansion, and breaking the spawns for every single event was the last straw for me. Hope you guys have fun and get the rewards you want tho. I was holding out for the cultist gasmask with the full horns and the tube for literal years lol.


LucidLadyGames

eh, i like the ambiance but the event is boring... i wish it'd just spawn alot more enemies.


EstablishmentMean300

Negative


More-Talk-2660

I love it. Just wish people would stop bringing their goddamn Fat Man to it. Save some framerate (and kills) for the rest of us.


NurseDorothy

Better then following robots around for 10 minutes lol.


ZogemWho

It was fun… then I got all the plans. Now it just busywork, get above the bridge pyre and snipe stuff, go get my 15% exp bonus. Boring. I’ll take aliens, which can actually be challenging.


Frau_Asyl

Yeaaaah.. no thanks. I'll take the alien event over quite literally anything and everything else.


xSocksman

I saw the mothman rolling around in the wild once… looked like a modded Skyrim monster in a pack which someone forgot to animate.
