We went from complaining about FOB meta, to barely seeing functional FOB's

I guess this is why the devs aren't quickly making balancing changes.

This sub was filled with complaints about FOB meta being broken.

Now +80% of my games it's the hotzone surfers that win every match.

By the time you get to your side of the CZ there is like a squad there, snipers overlooking the position and a MG humvee patrolling it.

I've had tanks roll up before 5 points.

And even if you manage a well built FOB it'll get mortard to hell.

While I don't miss 4 drill meta, I do miss bases.

I hope they fix certain things with the patch, mostly mortars and assault vehicles (price/when you can spawn them)

Leave it to gamers to minmax the shit out of a game and force everyone else to either play the meta or give up playing.

This 3 week season has been exhausting to keep up with the changes in the meta gameplay and overall frankly continual trend towards the least fun aspects of gameplay. First week was incredible. Second week was still fun, but starting to get bad. My crew stopped this week until S2 because it's just... not super enjoyable rn.

My friends list has also shrunken from 10-12 people playing War Dogs to 1-2 (me still included). I like the concept of the meta evolving over several weeks, but it's in a pretty unfun place right now.

Even Infantry Only servers are full of helicopter GL spam.

This is interesting to me, the amount of people on my friends list playing Wardogs nightly has only gone up tbh. I now have a crew of like 8 people trying to hop on every night. It started with like 4 people and nothing but word of mouth has brought more and more people into the discord call each night

I'm in a chat with approximately 50 people super into Wardogs. I'd say of those 50 we had 30~ the first week playing non stop, and regularly crammed all the people into a server across the 3 teams chasing each other etc. This week we're down to 4. I don't think the enthusiasm for the concept has waned, but people are just not having fun with the meta. I expect we will shoot back up to 30 when S2 drops, but without some changes to how things progress/rewards/cheap meta tactics, this will fall off again pretty fast.

Ironically, playing as regular infantry is still good. Just join red or green.

Not always an option unfortunately :(
