The amount of non-sunken defenses left alive behind friendly lines is absolutely criminal. A lot of them were pretty fresh too meaning any Colonial nite crew overrunning our front line doesn't have to spend time and material rebuilding them. They only need a fresh injection of Uparts to turn on the AI defenses.

It's a frequent occurrence that players don't follow common courtesy or have any consideration for others and clean up around them, truly shameful. Gamers are real life and ingame grubs.

SVMS-01 UNION FLAG GREATEST MOBILE SUIT

ENACT = CHEAP EUROTRASH COPY




My guess is that the new gun is some sort of light artillery, using the same shells that the gunboat uses. It would be nice to have a smaller and cheaper piece to work with, since artillery is super useful and it only comes into play very late in the war since it's so far back on the tree.

Pretty much every major clan has quit out of boredom. Add in some pretty flagrant cheating with alts to steal things and some chinese fly hackers nuking things with satchels and people have just shrugged until the next war.

War #34 concluded about 15 minuts ago, Warden win. Resistance phase has started. 0.28 will most likely be released with the start of the next war.

Fat.
Wardens with fancy French hats are absolutely crushing Colonials again even after the collies got a boost of gear for this war after their abysmal defense at the end of war 33.

If you want to see how the map's been moving, https://foxholestats.com/ has a link to show it. The five western regions are closed for this war to see how it changes the way the front moves.

War over ! next one starting ???? Also devs effectively turned off the Resistance phase this go around by deciding to not let anyone build caches. Apparently someone caching 1,020 boxes of stuff (supposedly including 100 crates of satchels) last go around kinda broke things this war in their opinion.

Also battle harvesters are a thing already:

Caches have had a snowballing effect for a while now. Also didn't help there were almost three times as many wardens as colonials which is why queues were getting into the hour(s) range.

More importantly and disturbingly is that the severe problem of warden nazi/nazi-adjacent groups is starting to boil over Here and also on the discord while the devs and mods have been completely silent.

While there are definitely a bunch of regressive shits it has become a self-reinforcing cycle that it's much more likely for someone to be yelled out of colonial chat for being an explicit nazi which just leads to them joining wardens in the next war and staying there. This is something that has been going on for well over a year.
Definitely a next step after removing them would be trying to stamp out the racism/sexism but that's unfortunately not nearly as controversial as either implicit or explicit support of nazism/neo-nazism among the average (game) population.

We made a mistake with the Supply Caches and should have removed them as soon as we introduced the dynamic starting conditions. Hope this changes at least helps a bit with early war stability.

So hopefully that's the end of them not just for this war.

Just an FYI the timeframe on the clan/regiment/whatever system is in the months off range. My guess is because they literally have to build the entire backend setup for this stuff because since day 1 they've been using Steam as their player DB pretty much. Right now they don't have much more than SteamID = this person for player info. Also they will probably have to hire an actual Customer Service person because right now 98% of in-game player customer service related interaction is with volunteers you have to contact via a bot in Discord.

I was in the foxhole discord with the mods present and someone was just going off about the Chinese and how they are the worst and ruining everything and really getting vile and obviously super racist. They did not care one little bit. Didn't kick him from the game. Didn't kick him from the discord. They don't seem to give a single poo poo about racism.

Never had. They've never cared about any moderation because they are permanently tinkering with their game, adding stuff instead of fixing stuff. They really need a wake up call.

There have been a few mods who have expressed frustration with it but as far as I'm aware any real moderation decision is required to go through a single incompetent micromanager (KFC).

I really have been enjoying the last wave of wars. The tightening of maps have produced good variety, I feel like each war I gotta learn a new route to the front.

Compare that to wars last year where I basically became the guardian vigil of White Chapel in the mountains.

I ain't heard poo poo in this game from my own personal probes. I have not gone discord diving, but in game and local chat have been nice. From my asking around, it seems like the things people have heard, second hand, in hushed post-abuse whispers, that the racism that does happen is more European style than American style.

I'm a brown dude who's into wargaming. I've seen this poo poo before. Haven't seen it here. When/if I do see it in Foxhole, the mechanics are in place for me to give them a personal local chatban (by shooting them in the face).

It's certainly not Mordhau bad unless there is a Discord channel as bad as that certain thread.

This poo poo has always been a thing with any power fantasy military dudes with guns games. I still think instead of obsessing and avoiding the game over it aside from schedule issues what is stopping us from grouping up and rolling these chuds again?

Yeah unfortunately this game has a bit of an EvE Online jump-in-sink-or-swim thing going on wrt to new players. Fortunately the starting areas for each side are getting updated with more useful training stuff in the upcoming update. Even now there are weird people who will show you things if you ask in the home regions.
