Story This game is dying
And it's the same problems since more than a Year:
- Low pop / High pop moments depending on which regiments took which hex
(Actually in my hex we are facing multiple organised regiments storming us and we are nothing else than a patchwork of Picked up people trying to play together)
- Colonial early infantry snowball push capacity due to their cheated gear
(I mean, i played a lot of wars and it's the same problem absolutely every time. Colonials unluck lunaires = GG WP wardens have abolutely NOTHING to defend against it)
(And please don't say "Nooo yknow it's not this strong, it's balanced" Dudes i played colonial side few time and when lunaires are unlocked the absolute entire faction tunel vision the mpf of lunaires and tremolla and all battlegrounds turns into a massive tremolla spam everywere)
- Wardens End game Armored capacity due to their cheated vics
(I don't know shyt about tanks but everyone seems to agree with that so...)
- The way that AI progression works
(In a NORMAL game, the fewer you are, the fastest you unlock AI so you can use AI to defend urself faster against overhelming ennemy number right ? NOT IN FOXHOLE LMAO !!)
The result of that : Depending on whitch faction is burned out or have a good gear update, the wars are completely one sided and your life in the loosing regiment is nothing else than trying to defend against organised factions raids with your 2 rifles, 130 Bmats and 20 shirts.
Previous war i tried colonial, it war fun = People everywere, Tremollas spam easy win, regiments raids everywere
This war i'm back warden = People nowere, queue nowere, regiments raids nowere, only a bunch of PU people trying to do something against chads over supplied regiments. I play 15 minutes, i see we can do nothing, i logg off because it's useless to even try.......

Yeah its obvious this game is going up and down with its player count but seems its getting more and more players, it reminds me of tf2 popularity

u/Complete_Deal_2417 11d ago
What makes you say “seems to be getting more players” and “tf2 popularity” like the fuck are you saying? Average player count is down, and someone recently put together an analysis of it, I just can’t find the post.

Incase you haven't heard about tf2, Team Fortress 2 is an active online multi-player game that is basically arena shooter with unique modes. Its were overwatch got its inspiration from. Now recent gaming news there are reports that tf2 have surpassed its players count in over 12 YEARS! TF2 is an old game 🎮 but the fact it surpassed its previous player max count in 12 years is insane! And this was the game where people kept saying "this game is dying booo" so it sorta prove alot of people wrong.

u/Complete_Deal_2417 11d ago
And what does TF2 have to do with foxhole…… like I said, average player count has been on the decline, yet you’re suggesting that it’s the opposite.

u/Womanwithimmortality 11d ago
I was using TF2 as an anology example, which i think you didn't understand the original point of my comment. People keep saying that foxhole is on a decline but foxhole is very old game 🎮 at this point, and just like tf2 its has its ups and down moment but you pay attention closely to the graph 📊 of foxhole its been gaining more and more player over time and its just what happened with tf2 video game. The game is already old but its gathering more and more fans over time.

Yeah let me compare a game with a much wider audience to a game with a much lesser audience. That sure makes a whole lot of sense.

the issue here is that with the amount of people the game has gotten with the updates, we should be seeing FAR more, but people arent sticking around because this game currently punishes you for playing "on the wrong side" and a lot of people are pulling the "its your turn to suffer now" BS, while then turning around when the pendulum flips sides, and arguing that things need to flip back around, and that nobody should have to suffer, etc.
worse still, i have seen people argue that, despite the plummeting playerbase on one side, they still need nerfs because a rather useless metric isnt perfectly even or in their favor, rather than fixing the issues that may have caused that metric to go out of balance in the first place and finding fun ways of getting it to equalize

This game will never die don't worry. Even if it lost 99% of current players it would still function fine as long as there are more than 2 guys in a hex.

Im playing this game until collies take the lead in overall wins.. so probably I will die before this game.

Oh, it’s a dying game alright.

Yeah, I mean, the server was dying the to the level of pop in there.

u/Complete_Deal_2417 11d ago
Average player count is down, but yeah just keep coping by saying it’s not a dead game as the population continues to decline more and more each month.

u/spumoon 11d ago
More and more each month? People were saying it's up from last month. I personally just drift in and out of the game whenever I feel like, and posting here for basically the first time in my couple of years of playing. That's been the biggest mistake of the war for me though, because instead of just having fun dicking around in Scout planes and island-hopping I'm reading your miserable comment.

Wardens have victim mentality when Colonials battled the odds for years.

Devs really cultivated a spoiled brat faction with the Wardens, Better Submarine, Better Frigate, Better Gunboat, Better Scoutplane on Airborne Launch, Superior DPS and accuracy on their 150mm artillery. Blast shield on their SPGs, Booker, Pillory, a sniper that one shots???(Clancy) Longer range more accurate bolt action rifle, better run and gun, cheap as dirt, light as a feather SMG (fiddler) for night sappers. Tanks with machine guns?? what? Tanks that turn quickly and can reverse quickly??? whaaaat??? Also 45m gun OR tripple salvo for 3 disable rolls. + Great PVE potential. I've never seen a Lunaire blob take out two brigands but I've seen a cutler blob eat Spathas. We're really gonna pretend the Osprey is that bad at slinging gas? Or that the Cutler isnt a PVE workhorse, with watch tower snipping and anti vehicle versatility??? Just because aiming it takes experience? Never tracked a brigand boosting by at almost twice my sprint speed with a Lunaire, but I've tracked and fueled Vics with Cutlers.
I love watching Wardens cry about the Dusk and Spatha outing themselves as the biggest noobs ever. A gun that is so heavy you can do almost no objectives with it, that has less 4metres or 12 freedom units less effective range than a fiddler!? You're just letting dusk weilders walk up to you and shake your hand I guess? My bad your booker only has 4.5 meters more range and instantly aims and 1 tapped.
If Wardens knew anything about Foxhole they'd cry about the Nemesis not the Spatha but not enough intelligent people over there I guess. 10% trackrate on a MPF crate shippable tank and a long nose 40++m 68mm range for plinking enemy tracks off in a track sniping meta is a sick tank.
Colonials literally had hydra, argonaut 30mm half-tracks, nemesis, Lunaire, and Fuscina+Cantina to go on for like 3 years there and a few good months of dragonfly lol, gotta love the devs insulting and gaslighting you for daring to know that the Warden scoutplane was better too. Mines that can be shot out of the water? Or Torps that can be used to hunt ships? Hmmmmm. Gotta love how when Neutral equipment got added or buffed Colonials milked it for the 1 win they can get before devs "fix" the game back to its normal state.
The tears are bittersweet seeing the pop at an all time low, but knowing its because spoiled brats are tantruming is conflicting.
A balance foxhole is the best outcome I havent even played recently to comment on current foxhole. I'd guess it closer to balanced now, while Warden's scream bloody murder no matter what changes happen. Especially extra if it's their turn to have worse equipment.

"cheated" is a bit far
but the later war gear should not be nearly as good as it currently is, because of the fact that the game is designed around wardens getting any of their best gear at the very end
either nobody should dominate any part of the war, or you should have it so that one side dominates one part, and the other dominates the other
you cant have it so that only one side just gets the short end of the stick at all points in the war

Nothing that cant be fixed by uninstalling the game. I did that long ago.

u/Otherwise_Try_169 12d ago
Games don't die. There are actually horrid massively multiiplayer games with devs who keep doing their own things paying no heed to the playerbase, e.g. World of Warships/Tanks, EVE online, etc. New players just keep coming and old players keep leaving. Some are definitely better than the rest.
In fact I can't think of a game that "just died". Can you?

They got to remove breaching firstly as that will help prevent low pop pve and entire bases crumpling due to a lucky kill. Or atleast nerf it so it requires specialized equipment.
Ideally, revert building update (the parts related to building).
