My last post was a bit harsh, so let me be more fair. While there is a lot of toxicity in the game, it's also incredibly fun when you're playing with a group of like-minded people. One of my best experiences was teaming up with a competent and chill rando for a joyride through Colonial backlines for an hour before linking up with another group that baited and ambushed a halftrack and light tank. Delacroix makes a good point about finding a front, and that applies just as much to allied players. You can oftentimes accomplish just as much with cleverness and a few magazines as you can joining with the zerg (and sometimes more, because a lot of big pushes burn through a shitton of materials/supplies before burning out). Generally, I've found that lower-to-mid rank players tend to be much more agreeable and excited to just team up and accomplish something. Just don't trust them to protect your shiny new tank from a nutjob with a couple of sticky grenades.

Ok, you're new you wanna go to the front and you wanna make a difference, right? Ok heres what you do, spaqn at your desired front. Graba basic rifle and two rifle mags, a bandage if you're feeling feisty, head to gunshots Step 2 don't get shot, find the line of where your guys are meeting their guys, back away a little and proceed to the money making part Step 3, loot loot loot You'll find PLENTY of backpacks around here and you're gonna look through them You'll find anything from 1 heavily loaded up gas grenade to bmats and machine guns, stash what you want but you're getting bmats, the things that look like a metal bar, got at least 10? Thats some sandbags you can build to fortify your immediate position. Have 25? Thats a chest to stockpile immediate supplies you scavenged nearby (remember those nades and mgs?) If you're able to find a shovel then congrats you've upgraded to intermediate levels of impact especially if you have the bmats to upgrade your bunkers You've done it, you've fortified and/or entrenched your position for your entire faction while stockpiling supplies for those smart enough to know how to use the tools you've provided It might not seem like much but it can make the difference between being forced back due to lack of cover and being safely tucked away in a trench during an arty barrage

Just make sure you don't overload your pack, as the heavier it gets the slower you get. If you are on the front line dancing bullets or grenades keep only the essentials. Also new players check your map, oh and get in the habit of walking on the sides of the road.

On the warden side callhan’s legion is a large active group that will ban all Nazis or other creeps almost instantly in my experience so they’re pretty normal, though tactically incompetent like a lot of large groups. One time while wandering around with another new player a couple guys rolled up in a truck and was like hop in we’re doing naval poo poo and it was awesome, the four of us basically caused a whole front to collapse by hitting the right couple of bases. So there are lots of a really cool people but it’s about as toxic as any average FPS community.

The description of the scavenger loop is true. It has that Kenshi loop feel to it. You will get shot because you spent too long transferring medic supplies into your inventory. You cannot use them on yourself. Once I just let a dude die while he was down from a stray bullet near the encampment, I knew he would have just charged in and gifted his 20 rifle clips directly to the enemy. I took his wrench because he was not to be trusted with it.

I might play soon, but I will say whenever I went out to a fight I pretty much always took nothing because like part way into the battle area I'd find corpses of people loaded down with more weapons and ammo they could ever use

Got a small squad going with some goons tonight, was great fun like old times. Did some raiding, put up a tower or two, held and secured a side road from all things but a set of sand bags facing our way we could not take down. I really do dig medic, chilling back and watching the chaos unfold is kind of chilling. Did not encounter anything toxic over voip, though a pubbie opened fire early and got half of us killed in a Benny Hill chase with an awkward WW1 looking open top scout tank. We called it a night after a bit the amount of players slamming the game I think is making some of the firearm range funky but we had fun. We should try and at least get together in decent numbers on the weekend if possible again. eonwe posted:also if you're solo and really bored, you can just mine scrap and take it to the refinery and make public bmats I am a sergeant and I only got my rank helping goons a few years just doing Logistics.

Now that I got a bit more into it, I want to try medic and logistic, I'm pretty good at mind-numbing virtual work and just riding a truck back and forth sounds fun to just turn off the brain and chill.

Some things never change, like watching pubbies awkwardly driving lorries/trucks like their drunk, people delivering almost everythng including the gas masks but not the filters and the enemy channeling cold war stereotypes of the human wave attack the drop of a hat. It's always good to get friendly pubbie support, several dudes stuck around and helped us hold the gap. One even 'found' the NotLewis gun and did great support. A pro tip for anyone dipping in, turn off the chat channel sound effect because that thing gets irritating fast.

I thought field hospitals were for immersion but the bodies continuously piled up for a few hours. Carried off three collies during the deadlands fighting.  I initially drove up to Iron Passage delivering bmats but ended building foxholes, setting up proper sandbag wall + box positions and removing wire & poorly placed trucks because pubbies are mouthbreathing idiots. e: And all I wanted to do today was make and use a scout tank. Six hours Lost to the Zone

This week I will be trying to get some EU action going on friday nights or the weekend, we've got a decent amount of NA people waking up from the long early access hiberation but things seem very quiet on the EU front. Will be attempting it around 8PM Greenwich/9PM EU time unless if anyone is interested they want it earlier. I am hoping it is a good enough we'll get some NA overlap with some to help out. I know to some they are old hat but a STEAM Group might help in tandem with the Discord now. Game is on sale for two more days now!

The tanks in the Battle of Spitrocks were running out of fuel tonight and Marban Hollow had zero fuel trucks so I went fucken logi psycho mode, built 3 with my own hands at Port of Rime, shipped them in a freighter across the entire east of the map, filled one of em completely up at Maiden's and drove it down into battle. It took like 2 hours and nobody even tossed me a pity commend. But I did my duty and that's enough. Next time I'll join the goon squad where maybe somebody will appreciate me

No matter what goal I had in mind starting up foxhole, I always get sucked into the logi blackhole. I planned on making grenades and mortar shells today and ended up maintaining seven mines across two maps. The amount of logi I do the devs might as well set my pool of commends to infinite; I'll throw them at any goon I come across. Long gone are the days of giving them away twenty at a time.  e: if you really want to get those brownie points, submitting a large quantity of crates to a base will cause it to show up to nearby players and prompt them to hand over a commend.

Here's a video that highlights one of the products of the recent implementation of faction asymmetry in the game - the oddly named but incredibly well received and loved King Spire scout class tank ! This WARDEN ONLY light tank which looks like a  -pot has the 12.7 HMG off of the Half-Track, can do radio/radar things on the move like the LUV, has great gas mileage and maneuverability and since its classed as a tank it is highly resistant to small arms fire. This perfect storm of aspects has resulted in much   and  from the Warden side and we're deploying these things as fast as we can make them. Of course this has unleashed a torrent of  and  from the Colonial side.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5r8KdaYhfg

The scout tank is to tanks what the jeep is to trucks. A very excellent offroad vehicle that runs people over. It's incredibly unfair I can't crate and reserve both.
