From a seriously loyal fallout shelter fan to all who endeavor to do so:
So in the hype of today's patch I dropped $30 on Lunchboxes as I enjoy the game greatly and have enjoyed collecting items both in the wasteland and in both earned/paid lunchboxes (I have easily earned more lunchboxes than I have paid for). Today I must say I received a huge disappointment in how far Bethesda's cash grabbing has reached. True I have defend Bethesda and this game in the past (most recently today, lol) but when a collector drops $30 and receives zero - 0 - zip - zilch - nada - none - not one Legendary Dweller from this, that puts a rather sour smell to the fun I've had thus far. So, with that said I have decided to write this message to those who have had fun collecting and wish to collect all. At least know what you are getting yourself into. With the poor choice of allowing duplicate dwellers in this game (other than Gary from vault 108 did anyone else remember clones such as 3 Lucas Simms in FO3?), and the even poorer choice of making legendary dwellers far far far from obtainable (last Legendary Dweller was 3 weeks ago and this is 4 and a half weeks of hundreds of hours of gameplay), I thought since Bethesda has not stepped up and been honest on the odds I would shed some light on the subject.
Finally, unless Bethesda decides to "patch" a fix for this absurdity (or at least add a feature to call them from a STAT MAX'd radio room), I have personally decided to abandon the quest to collect all Legendary Dwellers and will stick with the weapons and outfits quest which can be obtained from the wasteland as well as earned lunchboxes. I am 14 away from outfits and 26 away from weapons.
Would love to hear constructive, positive feedback from any other serious players. Tips, strategy or even personal experience is very much a welcome.
God bless all!
