Hey there everyone, Hyde finally here with your update! I said I would update at 300, then we hit 340... lmao. Hey, I was close, alright? Either way, another huge thank you for your support!

Like last time, I’m going to do this in the “patch notes” format, just to make things easy to read.

• Five new user flairs have been added. New Flairs are mostly perk based this time. Last time they were influenced on early popular stories shared here, and we will be doing that again in the future, but I wanted to round out some of the missing playstyles we don’t already have covered, allow everyone to find a flair that fits their style of playing 76. So our new ones today are...

Commando - Some people don’t have time to line up that perfect shot, so an automatic rifle and lots of bullets all sprayed towards an enemy is bound to give results... right?

*Rifleman - Got... to... line... it... up perfectly... need that... headshot... wait, where did the mutant go? What do you mean he got ‘bored’ and left?

Scientist - Because scientists actively seeking research subjects in the fallout universe always have the best intentions....

Barbarian - Grognak love axe, but Grognak not IN love with axe...

Lone Wanderer - I got m’ trusty revolver and m’ bonus damage threshold, im’ma be just fine out here... alone... really alone... maybe I’ll just befriend a snallygaster.

• New Roleplay Chat Room added. The Amateur (HAM) Radio has been added to the list of Chat Rooms. This room is for roleplay purposes. Turn on that ham radio and chat with other residents out in the hills!

• New Sorting Options added to menu. I have added the option to select specific post flairs as sorting options to the sub menu, allowing you to look at only posts in any given section. Only want roleplay posts? Click ‘In-Character’. Want to find an update post? Click ‘Sub Updates’. And so on. But as a reminder, please make sure to add a post flair to your posts as you write or cross post them so that they can be sorted into the specific categories that they belong in. Unmarked posts can get lost to time if they are orphaned, so please adopt one of these helpless posts today... Sarah McLachlan would be so proud.

• Not part of this update, but coming this week. Coming soon will be the user factions option for all of you. It will first show up as a registry post where you can get info on the project, as well as put in your application. Then after some have applied, it will be added to the menu for all to find later on. On top of that, also coming soon will be the pic sharing thread. We will be opening a permanent thread specifically for you all to share your game pics with us, so make sure to snap some awesome selfies with that hungry Alpha Deathclaw before he gets a good bite in! And finally, we will be taking an informal vote here on this thread over the community discord. If you read this and you would be interested in joining a community discord for Tales from Appalachia, leave a comment below. If you want a discord server, comment ‘Discord!’. If you DONT want a server, comment ‘discord...’ . I will also accept ‘nah bruh’ as an acceptable reply for a no vote.

I know, I know, this was a short update, and the humor was trash. But we will have bigger sub updates in the future, I promise. This one was mostly to celebrate our hitting 300 subs, but SantaClaw will be coming soon and with him will come some goodies! So stay tuned and make sure to stay at least 100 yards away from SantaClaw at all times... he may look full of holiday cheer, but I assure you that he can not survive on cheer alone and often supplements his milk and cookie diet with wandering vault dwellers. A high agility stat and some sneak perks are highly encouraged during the holiday season...

But until next time, this has been Hyde with some Tales from Appalachia. You all have a fantastic day and I’ll catch you on the mountainside!
