Fallout 76 Private Worlds May Not Be New Worlds, May Not Actually Be Private - MMORPG.com
It looks like the advertised private worlds as part of Bethesda's $100 a year Fallout 76 subscription, Fallout 1st, may not be private after all.

As for clipboards magically spawning or disappearing that's part of the normal game generation.
You're conflating non issues just to try and find problems because it's popular to hate on this game.
Or have a read with your morning coffee or afternoon beer:

Ok.
Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
So how do you explain the players that have logged into their "private " servers with mobs already dead and looted?
Seems they need to figure out how to reset the server before you enter it.
I always love it when company employees have time to come here and tell us about their projects. It makes this site feel special. Keep up the good work Bethesda!
Yeah I would have paid $15 a month for a true private server that was persistent and configurable. The more I hear about this the worse it gets.

Weird.

They can jump in without invite. Not all people on a friends list are always friends. Sometimes players keep contacts for trading with. Besides, I should have the option to play ALONE without my friends, whether they be real or not, jumping in as they please.
Clipboards is one test case (there were other shown) to show the problem that server hoppers can loot a server and you get spawned into something that was messed with. The idea behind private servers should be that you get a clean instance when you start and it state reflects only what you, and those you invite to it, do in it.
These are not non-issues. We need to call out Beth on this crap else it will get worse. Seriously, most of the features in Fallout 1st should have been free and available at release. But I guess you are what one would call "fanboy" so no way you will be able to see clearly from other perspective.

2. The other "not a fresh instance" bit I'll give them some rope and let them explain. It's possible that there is something at work here to prevent exploiting the resources in a private instance and then using those resources in the public game. If they are doing something like that then those private instances may be keeping track of what you do in public instances and adjusting the private one's log-in state accordingly. Given their history of incompetence I may be giving them too much credit but it's possible that this is what's happening here.
3. People actually bought into this? lol <Insert the only meme @Rhoklaw knows here>
4. @Kyleran Yes Zenimax has also done some really shitty things with ESO monetization (loot crates, the yearly-DLC-that-shall-not-be-called-a-DLC, some sub perks that should be base game, etc.) but Bethesda when it comes to live service games, is like their buggier, idiot cousin. If ESO were to sell you a private instance so you could solo without seeing anyone, that would be a closer equivalent. But of course they don't because the idea of doing that in an honest to goodness MMO is ridiculous and no one wants that. FO76 is a single player game shoehorned into a live service for no reason other than profit - it's not an MMO - so the players there obviously do want to be able to play solo or with just a handful of friends. Apples and oranges. I guess providing an off-line mode for free would have been just too difficult for their minimum wage interns to implement.
