Lunch-Boxes - Feeling Ripped-Off

Post » Sun Feb 14, 2016 9:51 am

Dear Bethesda,



i just bought 40 Lunch-Boxes for 20 Bucks. What did i get? A Power Amor, a Fat-Man and a tuned Laser Rifle.



The Rest was Crap. Some Dwellers. Thank you, i already have a Jericho, and the others? In the mean Time, i have better trained People.



What i also get was the famous 500 Caps. Hmmm... I have already 500.000 Caps. So... wow...



Wow... Three good items for my Money. Ju. Hu. 20 Bucks.



Don′t get me wrong. It is not the Money. For good things, like a lot of good weapons, i′m your′s, but for that?



No!



I just feel ripped off !!!!!!!!!!



I′m a Fan of your Games since Fallout 3. All DLC′s, and after that New Vegas. also with all DLC′s.



I liked it alot. So much, that i thought spending Money for your Mini-Game is ok. No, it isn′t.



Do you know what a multiplicator is? Well, i dragged some People to your game. Now i will tell the same People to not buy Lunch-Boxes.



I don′t need to tell you why. I have the Feeling after the last Update you tuned down the Lunch-Boxes.



Yes, it was not the first time i bought some. Like i said, Money is not the issue, but i don′t like the Feeling to be ripped off.



What will i do? The Money is gone. Thank you.

I have nearly a million caps in my vault. They're not hard to come by later in the game! Also, for newer vaults and newer players, this is an incentive to build out too fast and invite a wipeout.



A guaranteed rare+ card should be a rare+ bit of gear or dweller, not mere currency. My enjoyment of the game has plummeted since lunchboxes started giving me these turkey cards 90% of the time. I don't plan on opening any of my lunchboxes until the next update.

I agree they should remove the 500 caps from the loot table for the 4th card, it's [censored]...


The 4th card should be a guaranteed rare or better weapon, armor, or dweller....not friggin money.


Until they do this and add cloud saving, they aernt getting a penny from me...

Just curious, If you already had a unique character and 500,000 caps why are you buying lunch boxes?



That being said I'd like to see more diversity in the lunch boxes with regards to unique characters. Is all previous Fallout lore (pre Bethesda) of limits? I looked up what is to be had, and there is nothing in this game representative of Fallout 1 or 2 or even tactics. Not even New Vegas. I was hoping for maybe a Tycho or a Tandi? Or some goodies from other titles?

Hey guys, I combined the lunch box content complaint threads and adjusted the title accordingly.



Also, I edited out the not cool stuff in one post - complaining is certainly your prerogative but creepy stuff or threats or whatever isn't cool.



On a non-moderator note, I occasionally buy stuff for the tablet or phone games I play, but I am pretty judicious about it - I like to support developers with a few bucks but my expectations are set pretty reasonably. Sorry some of you were disappointed (though I agree, I get slightly bummed when I get 500 caps instead of something useful, even if it is a dupe.)

Okay, i know what you mean.



I bought lunch-boxes because after 2 weeks playing, the best weapons i had was from the 40 lunch-boxes before.



So i thought when i buy another 40 boxes, there could be some good in it.



No. Like i said, 3 good items for 20 bucks!!!



Money is not the issue. I even bought an iPad Air 2 to Play this game properly.



( And in that case, this would be my next issue... Why can i not play my iPhone Game on my iPad?)



I know spending Money is freely, but when i do, i expect more than 3 good items for 20 bucks!!!

Random loot is, er, random.


I treat micro-purchases the same way as I treat coins in a slot machine, don't spend with a fixed outcome in mind and you won't be disappointed.



(and I might make the observation that being moderated =/= being censored)

Everyone that feels ripped off can download the 1000 lunchbox saved game file off the net and start a new vault with that save...


I copied it onto my girlfriend's tablet and she likes the game much more now lol...

To Sofajockey:



Are you sponsored by Bethesda?



Or do you just have no Money to spend?



Either way, if i spend Money, i expect a little bit more...



Don′t get me wrong. My (new Vault on the iPad Air 2) is going properly. A lot of Money, my Dwellers bring in good stuff.



Except good weapons. This is the reason i wanted lunch-boxes. For good weapons.



And as you know by now, i′m disappointed.

Actually I think it's the other way around. I had trouble finding an android version of the 1000 lunch box save. This game has been out longer for apple products.


I think the save was originally for the iphone/ipad.

I wasn't talking only about purchased lunchboxes. You get them as incentives to complete objectives, but if that reward is LAME, there's not much incentive left. Just tapping on rooms and watching the bars fill and the caps increase is pretty dull.

You feel ripped off? lol Friend of mine got a new phone, game will not transfer to the new phone. Zero replies from the company. Think she spent $20-30 so not a huge issue, just annoying. Man, if my Clash of Clans didn't transfer?...bloodshed!

I quit buying lunch boxes when I hit 999,999 caps because to the 500 CAPS cards in pretty much every other pack. I would still buy them if they lifted the cap on the CAPS and gave us something else to spend them on. I still have some legendary toons to collect and weapons. But it's slow motion now...

Typhoon,


Your friend can upload their vault save files to dropbox and then copy them into the save location on their new device...

I believe every lunch box is Guaranteed to have at least one Caps card.

I don't have an iphone or pad I have a Samsung Galaxy 3...but on Android phones there is a file viewer app that works just like digging around on your C drive on a computer.


If you Google fallout shelter save file location for apple I am sure there must be someone that knows where the vault saves are....then you just navigate there with tge file viewer and copy the vault.sav files and then paste them into dropbox or onedrive or email them to yourself as an attachment etc....then copy and paste them into the game location on your new device...

Installation Instructions:

Step 1: Open the app, play it a bit then close it from multitasking.

Step 2: Download the file from the link above.

Step 3: Unzip, copy/paste the files/folders to:


iOS 7/6 and lower users: /User Applications/Fallout using iFunBox or /var/mobile/Applications/Fallout using iFile/Filza.


iOS 8 users: /User Applications/Fallout using iFunBox or /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/Fallout using iFile/Filza.





iOS 8.3, 8.4 and higher, read these instructions: http://iosgods.com/t...e-on-ios-83-84/


I found that while trying to find the file location on iOS....does that help?

Okay friends,



i will explain a little more.



I play FOS since day one. Usually i don′t play on my iPhone, but as i said, i′m a huge fan of Fallout, so after the announcement from Todd on the E3, i downloaded this Game.



I also bought my first 40 lunch-boxes, just to have a good start. And it was. There where Fat-Mans, legendary Dwellers, and a Mini-Gun. Great.



After some time, playing on the iPhone was becoming difficult. It got hot, and with 17 Floors... The Display was just to small, and the Accu was svcked to fast.



So i bought an iPad. Not just for the game, but it was a reason. This was the first time i got annoyed. I could not transfer my iPhone-Game to the pad.



Maybe it is possible, but i′m not that kind of a crack, so i started anew.



And i had fun with it. I bought another set of lunch-boxes, and there were good things in it. Some legendary dwellers like Jericho, a hardenend rocket-launcher, a gatling-laser and other stuff.



When you begin a new game, you don′t even complain for the 500Caps-Cards.



I looked after my vault 3-4 times a day. It growed really well, and i was sending a lot of dwellers in the wasteland to find good stuff.



And they did. At least to keep my vault going.



But... Even after 2 month playing, they never found the really good stuff. I have at least 14 dwellers in the waste all the time. 14 dwellers, 2 months!!!



Never a power armor, never a gatling laser or a mini-gun. Not even on the iPhone, where most of my dwellers are Level 50 with all Specials maxed.



I also have a four-room radio-Station with 4 dwellers, all with C over 10, on the iPhone even maxed all stats. Never a legendary dweller.



Then came the second update. I don′t want to complain because of the deathclaws, they are annoying, but nothing more.



Since then, i have the feeling the contents in the lunch-boxes where tuned down.



It is disappointing when you are doing your missions and all you get is 500Caps and crap.



It is really dissappointing when you pay for it, and out of one hundred and sixty Cards you got three good items ( four, when you count a double Jericho).



I like the game and i will play it further. I don′t like to cheat. When i like a game, i′m willing to pay for some things to support it.



But i don′t like the feeling of being cheated.



Buying lunch-boxes is now out of the Picture.

I know what you mean. I had a bit different experience though. I bought 80 lunch boxes together (big mistake) and started opening. I got no special weapons a bunch of caps and special characters. The part that disappointed me about the special characters it was limited to a few. I mean really what are you going to do with 3 colonel autumns 3 harkness and 2 elder Lyons. I realize random means random but 8 character all repeats and no other rares means 72+ were cap cards since they can flip over at any time not just last flip. Even in New Vegas you wouldn't see odds like that.

@ Leydenne:



Sorry for the creepy stuff. I really was disappointed yesterday :blush: You′ve done it right...





@ Ezekiel:



That′s what i mean. It seems collecting powerful weapons is a really hard task in this game :blink: I have a vault with nearly 180 dwellers. I do not need more, even if they are legendary.



I don′t need more caps, my little dwellers are flooding the vault with them. There isn′t much to build right now, and for the occasional revival it′s money enough.



What i need are more powerful weapons, and with deathclaws at least once per session knocking on my door, even more so.



I think a shop inside the vault would be great, even if a fatman, a gatling-laser or a minigun would cost 100.000 caps, i would take them.



At some point, there isn′t much you can do with so many caps.



Bethesda should make it easier to get good weapons. My dwellers have bleeding feet from the long hauls :D
