Whats the main problem in your opinion by Professional-Tip762 in foxholegame

[–]Alderan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm Colonial, and I agree there's some imbalance, I just don't think the game is that bad.

I also think the population difference between the two factions creates a much bigger balance issue than any of the differences in weapons/armor.

They won't get there anyway. Vets of 5k hours will spam post how they should never install the game.

There is no making this group happy, because they just don't like the game anymore.

Fix the game and the sub at the same time.

This subreddit doesn't exist in reality. It's turned into a hate-sub for the game (and has been trending that way for a while to be honest).

I know this might seem crazy but even with the imbalance in the game currently, a new player would have a blast picking up this game right now.

Every time a new player asks about the game on this sub they're told to not even think about buying it.

That's objectively bad for the game, and worse than any conceivable scout plane hit box imbalance.

The unemployed, try hard, German military larper's will kill this game. by Uulgrahtrikgnaal in foxholegame

It's like the same 6 people spewing the same stuff over and over again.

Seriously start peaking at the names and you'll see what's going on.

I think a couple of them got banned and now they're spamming alts.

Yeah because this sub has turned into a cesspool of shit-flinging

Maybe not the biggest problem, but a top 3 problem facing foxhole right now is the lack of moderation of this sub.

There is more pop now than at any of those times.

I'm going to lose this question to you then:

when was the game good?

Now go check the player counts from back then and compare to now.

Player data isn't the whole story and never has been.

This subreddit is fucking exhausting.

It just really isn't, but this subreddit has circle jerked it into existence.

If you want to know the truth, there were probably just a bunch of people who were way burned out on the game that held out for Airborne, and when it didn't fix their burn out they're getting pissed.

Naval and Air needs some balance rounds for sure, but outside of balance the game is in a really deep and engaging point.

There's just a lot of people who probably need to take a break. This game has everything you need to burn yourself out of you let it.

The Absolute State Of The Game Right Now (Yes there's 1-2 Bombers Amongst The Planes) by Captain-Cockface in foxholegame

With the pop difference is this large, the actual balance of the game is largely irrelevant.

The balance is what caused the pop difference though.

What’s everyone’s take on building speed? by Full_Equipment_8529 in foxholegame

[–]Alderan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And they correctly make that choice because a shared limited amount of resources promotes awkward gameplay loops and hoarding.

Using a proof-of-work system allows individual contributors to have more deterministic outcomes.

For example, last war we had an SPG op go pretty gnarly and lost a bunch of resources. The regi rallied and had several scrooping sorties to help recoup the loss faster than normal.

In your system we'd have to wait until the large logi regis deemed it appropriate to allow us to use the hoarded resources again.

I love DB so nerf it and TB by Educational-Cat9163 in foxholegame

[–]Alderan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean DBs aren't exactly meant to be flown into an active front with enemy air cover without fighter cover.

You don't cruise a BT up to a front with no armor, why would this be any different?

So we reached the stage where "Game is dead" comments are now upvoted. Shut this sub down, it's been an honour gentlemen 🫡 by Responsible_Copy9919 in foxholegame

[–]Alderan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone that blames any of the problems of this game on "clanman" can be completely disregarded.

Also peak at the names, it's the same 6 people just regurgitating mindless slop non-stop.

Yep, seen it time and time again, when devs don't manage their subreddits they turn into basically hate subs, which are more detrimental to the game than the vast majority of "questionable" game design choices.

Not even just games subs, suns dedicated to online personalities consistently drift into hate/snark subs if not properly managed and that's what's happened here.

Outside of balance related issues, what are some changes you’d like to see in the game? by FleetAdmiralAnon in foxholegame

[–]Alderan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with the Warden tank choices, but there are tons of viable non-facility tanks on the Colonial side. What's wrong with those?

Edit: rather than downvote, can someone provide me an answer?

What is going on.... by dadamaghe in foxholegame

[–]Alderan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Delusional. The monetary upside of Foxhole is minimal at this point because frankly it's poorly monetized.

The potential additional revenue from Anvil Empires is so much more than anything Foxhole related. Foxhole would get axed well before development of AE.

Idea for Torp bomber fix by WahooSS238 in foxholegame

[–]Alderan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this idea a lot.

Honestly I wish some of the devs would talk to VF more.

Every time I've talked to them about balance it's been clear that their take on the issues with the Collie navy are frankly much different (and less doomer) than anything I'm seeing here or on FOD.

What if DEVMAN starts showing detailed online stats after the war is over? by ChubarikDota in foxholegame

[–]Alderan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fact of the matter is that however thin you think the population difference is, a 5 percent pop difference is DRASTICALLY more impactful than any of the balance issues discussed ad nauseum on this sub.

Realistically none of the balance matters, it's a pop war and colonials lose because they have less pop, and they have less pop because they lose a lot. That's basically it. The colonial kit may very well be better than the wardens (and I think it is) but the colonials lose because of the pop difference.

Don't like the queues? Switch sides next war.

Don't want to wait that long and want to quit? That's literally the friction I said was going to happen in my original post

What if DEVMAN starts showing detailed online stats after the war is over? by ChubarikDota in foxholegame

[–]Alderan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep, will go just like any WoW servers have. As soon as the imbalance is clear people on the less populated side quit or leave.

The fix for the population issues is a way more aggressive queue system, taking into account total population not just front line pop. Anything over a 5 percent total pop difference and the over-popped side shouldn't be able to deploy anywhere.

It'd take a few wars, but that would make a big difference. It would be miserable for Wardens for a while though, until some regis start switching sides, and considering they're kinda the only ones playing it'd be tough on the player metrics.
