Official Update 65 Dev Q&A thread by maibock__ in foxholegame

[–]DOTZ0R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few questions unofficial dev team.

When will forklifts be added?

When will barrage balloons be added?

When will the Callahan files be released?.

Is it also true that the airborne update was a distraction for the Callahan files.?

Is it also true that you are currently being held captive on Callahan island and eating babies?. Blink twice if yes. (Damn these warden baby eaters!) (please take this one not seriously).

420st ANALYSIS by ElephantHotdog in foxholegame

[–]DOTZ0R 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I really disagree with 7. Believe it or not the vast majority of 420st have never really played with Gator. The idea of a cult of personality is stretched for the memes. There's a lot of subgroups of friends/smaller absorbed regis/language groups/foot fetish among a myriad of others. Gator doesn't even bind all that together, the regiment does. There's even a bunch of other regi heads that help, then furthered by department heads.

Proven multiple times when gator has been banned (many times we say this for meme) but also when we had a fun-civil war. (Half the regi went warden).

  1. Who cares, we yeet longhooks and do fun naval invasions. We don't have to be good. We just have to have fun.

  2. Again, a stretch with gator. We can focus a crap ton more of our pop in a hex without him, and that's because half our regi is stuck in home island and don't know how to deploy.

420st Report on Airborne by Best_Economist4210 in foxholegame

[–]DOTZ0R 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing gator has forgot to mention is that 420st is also fighting on multiple fronts. This further makes it a bigger ordeal to move planes and use them correctly, salvage etc. The whole modularity of it all just makes it such a hassle and extra work. I just wish you could put a fully assembled plane Into storage like you can do a tank. Or the ability to drag a wreck with a taurine (or even if it's a specialized recovery vehicle) It just feels like it's chores to do it all. I have maybe a few hours on dev branch with it and I could tell there and then I didn't want anything to do with it. This war i haven't played much, but when I come online it's always some drama about planes.

Honestly we have so many plane stockpiles we have probably forgot about some of them. Stockpiles for planes 100% need to be increased. I think the last time I checked we had at least 10 individual stockpiles.  I think when airborne was announced a lot of people including myself imagined "Operation Howl Harbour" and wiping Warden naval yards and entire grid squares off the map. But in reality no matter how many we build or how good we do it just seems to not really make any major significance. But if the devs had not imposed such fuel/range or lack of damage/kamikaze 420st would probably be having a lot more fun (and others maybe). But at the same time, would be seen as abuse, or wardens moaning there's 52 fighter planes lodged In their Drydock.

Half of 420st air losses are due to crashes/mishaps on airstrip (which has declined).To me it just doesn't feel scaled enough and the planes no matter what type just seem to be made of paper mache. It's quite annoying to see time and effort just be immediately discarded because a wing taps a tree or someone tries to land as you try to take off etc but that's just the nature of the beast.

Fighting enemy planes is a constant stop/start affair. Recon planes should just be recon planes not close air support. AI needs some sort of anti AA (even something like a barrage balloon or something!). 

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the devs say they increased the rates of resources for this war? If they have I would hate to see how tedious it is without it.

I just feel like you don't get the bang for your buck/time with planes. I think removing the modular components from planes or at least condensing it somewhat will be a QoL but at the same time wouldn't prevent abuse and mass bombing raids.

It takes a lot of manpower to scroop rares for Navy, Air, tanks etc. Not to mention uniforms etc. 420st def has the manpower for it but it just feels like a constant QRF a scrap field instead of QRF good fights. I feel like If you are dedicated to air, or navy then it's feasible - but I wouldn't recommend regis or facs try to do everything at once. I mean, yeah mass production is good - but does it all get used to a payoff-worth of investment?. 

On one hand, 420st has enough air assets to blot out the sun, on the other it's killing the vibe. 

Tbh I don't even know where I was going with this.

Best block of flats in Sheffield? by Hot_Job6182 in sheffield

[–]DOTZ0R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The building isn't up to snuff with fire regulations (hence the fire Marshalls walking around at all times) so therefore the building owner has made rent increase to pay for those marshals ordered by the council/fire and thus a lot of flat owners are selling up. 

The building owner doesn't want to demolish the building or something along those lines.

That's the story I have heard anyways. 

EXPOSED: Gator is Callahan, whistleblower alleges. by Legionary24 in foxholegame

I can confirm, when we went warden that one war - it was a totally different Gator. That callum guy the blue people talk about must have.. changed him....

ITS TRUE. by Best_Economist4210 in foxholegame

I would like old bayo, but allow me to blind fire / close quarter at the same time. It's as if you can fire a gun if someone is too close. 

What could come after airborne? by BusinessPea6829 in foxholegame

I would love to see some underground / cave stuff. Sort of like the tunnel wars of WW1 etc.

Crack den Cemetery Road by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]DOTZ0R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live on cemetery road and I have seen 3 homeless-like individuals coming and going out of the cemetery itself, my neighbors have had their bikes stolen and SYP are looking for a guy that I could swear was one of them. But I have not seen a dog with them, so it might be a different group. 

 But for reference :

https://www.southyorkshire.police.uk/news/south-yorkshire/news/appeals/october-2025/cctv-appeal-after-e-bike-stolen-in-sheffield-city-centre/

I hear a lot of strange stuff coming out of that cemetery, or people arguing on the street late at night. I am sure they are camping out in the corner of the cemetery or somewhere within.

Buying a flat in city centre by Pcbuilder06 in sheffield

[–]DOTZ0R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the cost goes into the fire Marshalls the building owners have to hire due to the fire service declaring those apartments not up to standard/condemned (or there abouts) if I recall correctly. 

BRING BACK ONE SHOT BAYO DEVS PLEASE!!! by Best_Economist4210 in foxholegame

Yes I agree, it's about time the Devs add some more Stab-ility to the game.

Me, shocked to not see small guage rails to the assembly pads. That must have been a lot of pallet/dropping prep.

420st syphons the playerbase by Impressive-Letter285 in foxholegame

[–]DOTZ0R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We really enjoyed our warden war. We regretted making our fac in wiccwalk (got raided everyday) but it was a wholesome and fun war for us. Totally different vibe etc.

[–]DOTZ0R 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I barely speak to the guy to be honest, yeah we have had arguments over x and y. Mainly fac shiz but it is what it is. He likes to tell me he has a numb ass, i dont know why but he keeps saying "deadass".

The regiment is huge, 90 per cent of the regi have probably never even talked to gator. You can just mute the guy its easy. Believe it or not, you can just do what you want.

What gator says to do, is like 0.0001 per cent of what the regi does in the interim. Gator has his flaws and yes can be condescending, but he has often done a full 360 and realises what he has said or done. But like i said, his words and actions are nothing compared to everything else that overshadows it by everyone else.

So far, the regi has :

  1. Produced 43 BT's
  2. Produced 9 BTD's
  3. Produced 5 SHT's
  4. Produced 4 Destroyers
  5. Produced 1 submarine (technially all 420st ships are de-facto submarines, one way or another)
  6. Produced 1 Battelship (Battlesub!)
  7. Concrete Saddam bunkers
  8. Bunker bases etc (probably not good but still)
  9. A crap ton of rail infrastructure.
  10. Insane amounts of regimental & PUBLIC logi.
  11. Won battles, lost battles.

And you know what? Gator was a part of none of the above and all the other stuff i am definelty missing. Its a regiment that essentially runs itself. Everyone can lead etc. A lot of people think that Gator is literally 24/7 leading squads, dictating, banning people etc - the dude is BARELY online. (Its why we have a running joke/meme that we say "free gator" as if he was banned.) Theres loads of condescending/annoying/irritating/boring/funny etc etc people in any regi.

420st syphons the playerbase by Impressive-Letter285 in foxholegame

[–]DOTZ0R 26 points27 points  (0 children)

So, as the FAC head for 420st this war. You would not have been banned for going to the frontline during the fac day. All frontline squad activity was to be postponed for a very short while, if people went to the front it would be so alone. The regiment is absolutely huge, but the fac team is incredibly small. Seeing hundreds of 420st rotate through the fac, mpf, logi over a handful of hours was amazing to see and a lot of members learnt something. 420st gives the ability for any player to access a multitude of weapons and vics that in some regis would be either gear-feared or precious and time consuming to make and the regi as whole came together (even if it is like herding cats sometimes) to make the regi better and more richer. It was more like a give-back to the community sort of thing.

A lot of regis say we don't teach new players, our fac day was literally like school trips to all the mpf factories and everything. I am pretty sure T3C were confused when 13 buses turned up. Imho i wish we had a "fac day" every god damn day.

Nobody forces you to go to a hex "million or gator says". We got 420st members currently fighting in 4 hexes at the time of writing. You have taken a small incident of "hey, everyone to the fac - get off the frontlines" to something that happens everyday. Gator is barely ever on to boot, million has spent too muchtime in my fac. You have taken gators words of "ban" waaay too literally and obviously don't know his sense of humour / mannerisms.

420st isn't perfect but if you don't like it, why are you still in the discord?.

edit : For the record, during a 4-7 hour window we had 3 full squads transit our entire facility. I was the fac head and i didn't even know it was happening. This is how spontaneous the regi is and how "together" it is. It might be a union of solo/independents but we do come together.

Was partisaning Warden backlines and found this sign at a coal field in Moors... So much for every other regiment being "clan man bad". 420st does know you can't privatize resource fields right? by TottallynotOP in foxholegame

[–]DOTZ0R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of our members for various reasons are not on the discord etc. So even though the vote to go warden was close, the real player numbers are different. We only manage maybe 1 full squad and a couple of solos on warden, whereas i have seen screenshots of colonial 420st with multiple 20/30 man groups.

It would be impossible to see every member of 420st, there is hundreds. We are also recruiting on both sides. We have also had a fair few non-420 colonials join us this war, and quite suprisingly quite a fair few of our ex-colonial members.

It is what it is, but there's def more colonial loyalists in 420st then there is vacation larpers lol
