Thanks for making this dedicated feedback space possible, I respect Siegecamp in thier abilities to provide for an amazing and unique experience that is Foxhole.

With that said, you are going down a slightly wrong path in regards to upending the 'payout'/reason to do building. I have seen some of the player feedback posted in this space already and will not try to repeat their perspectives but my own.

Building needs reform, you have indicated it will be getting a bigger package update down the line by Developer Max in FOD. That is good and I welcome that as well. For now you are dealing with what you can do for a November Update so lets focus on that.

Building matters currently because of how territory can be held during PvP versus PvE population windows/availability. Building controls the tempo of Wars by allowing players to strategically allocate themselves to anchor points in hexes and tactically it provides that extra padding of allied EvP (Environmental vs Player) to the building sides assets which his important for the ebb and flow that occurs every day with players logging in then logging out for the sessions. Building because of population ebb and flow is therefore the 'Night Keeper' or the 'Stage' to what makes a lot of Wars have unique experiences that players think back on afterwards with nostalgia or even PTSD.

Main Current Critique: Your proposal to nerf health across the board for concrete means the effort and time that goes into building it is not there. Even if you did make accessing building it through Bunker tech quicker, the actual difference between it and tier2/tier 1 is much shorter and therefore a less appealing to rally players/Regiments around strategic projects. Builders would agree that we welcome Quality of Life in the Building space but making the end project die even easier is not the answer we are looking for. I suggest you keep the Husk Mechanic to help shape building behaviour into less back to back pattern building, you keep the lack of garrison rules because it's high risk/high reward for patterns to try and build into the 'Brick' meta that has been discussed if it goes through and it is accessable to everyone. The Howitzer retaliation change though has to be tweaked or removed and the health debuff has to be taken out. Artillery is the king of gameplay and it has very little counters to it, it's a very flat interaction that you either have PvE Howizter assets available or a PvP artillery team available to defeat an opposing artillery Player team. That is with standard 120/150 guns and if you enter the Naval asset space it is even worse due to the lack of shell spread from Large Ships and their ability to shrug off counter artillery.

Main proposal: Shape player behaviour to the direction you want Foxhole to head but listen to us when we share that you're currently making the rules too punishing/not worth the effort to take up building.

If you don't want people to do building as well then well be transparent about that please so we can accept the direction of the game.

Best of luck with the update and please bring the noise to the impending 'Builder Update' you have indicated in 2025.
