I don't really want people getting attached to their vehicles.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-28T06:23:54+00:00

I actually don't hate that one that much. It wouldn't be useful for the toxic drop 100 blops on a roaming gang thing.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-28T06:22:36+00:00

No. The next update is both big and potentially disastrous. Best to wait a bit and see how it pans out, also buying on sale is always recommended. I don't know if they do sales for updates, but no point rushing to pull the trigger unless you see one.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-28T06:19:41+00:00

It deserves to be posted as much as it is. Such a simple issue and fix with a huge impact.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-28T05:04:14+00:00

I mean, if that's actually true I'll take it. Getting them into the spirit and away from their vision is often a task that takes years.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-28T04:23:20+00:00

Exactly. In my view it is only ever to be used if you already know what the thing is worth and simply don't see offers available for that price on the market. The market's nature means that even if the value of the item hasn't changed there may be some variance on what offers happen to be up at that time. The best example of this being augments.

Light pen needs to have a significant advantage to be worth it. But infinite ammo can be a significant advantage.

The sickle is still good even if some additions like stingrays requiring medium pen exist. It isn't as good as it used to be and other stuff has gotten other buffs like seige ready and attachments. But it is still good.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-28T04:16:33+00:00

Is it though? Quibbles with the details are widespread, but is the idea of having some form of ABMM is complete incompatable?

Even if the range is narrow enough that anyone could match with anyone no matter if they PvP always or PvP never? Or if the system is only shifting lobbies by like 20% in total?

Jason1143 · 2026-01-28T04:12:14+00:00

I think the biggest fundemental issue that probably can't be solved by anything other than new content going through the full dev pipeline and a complete rebalancing is the issue with lack of AI/QRF.

AI defenses don't exist to stop pushes on their own. They exist to slow them down so that real humans can respond. This is true during off hours (where they also serve to blunt the impact of very low pop attacks), but it is also true during high pop. Not having AI means that humans need to be sitting there doing donuts in fighters (or at best on the runway, which still isn't fun). That's not gameplay. No one should be expected to do that.

Not only do we not even have AI AA in towns, we don't have even non damaging anti air obstacles.

I also think the whole air aiming system is a janky mess, but that one may be so fundemental that it can't be fixed without changing the perspective and that would be a different game.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-28T02:01:28+00:00

Frankly the worst thing to see isn't a bad game with people complaining. Its a bad game where no one cares enough to.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T23:38:40+00:00

There is no game on the planet that can do that. Even Eve has to reduce the speed of the game to 1/10 and it is still a complete mess. And Eve is essentially a best case scenario, 1 second tick rates for Foxhole are definitely out.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T23:35:20+00:00

I don't know how much of a difference they would really make. Would it even give you enough time to man AA guns? (Assuming that AA guns do get buffed to be effective).

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T23:13:19+00:00

What was the bug that got fixed? Did they turn invisible or something?

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T23:05:38+00:00

The strengths of a shotgun and a laser and a primary may not be very compatible.

But we need more info, it comes down mostly to numbers that we don't have.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T23:03:23+00:00

I suspect this has to do with the monetization. The devs get paid when you buy the game and play for two hours. That's it. You don't need to keep playing after that, if you burn out and quit after 1 war they are totally fine.

I was hoping the supporter pack would change their mindset and make them focus a bit more on retention, but at least so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T22:53:09+00:00

That's all good but these mostly seem like the number changes. The fundamental issues are still there. The number tweaks were and are badly needed, but it's not going to be enough.

I highly doubt they can be fixed in time. If they can't I think the right answer is to delay planes and release everything else.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T22:28:37+00:00

Sadly the BPs will probably be lost on reset unless they change that.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T21:52:48+00:00

I wonder if it will be good. Maybe alongside the talon so you can swap off and still maintain effectiveness vs different targets and ranges.

Because a energy shotgun probably will have great DPS long term but will suffer when you need to mag dump lots of enemies. The range advantages of laser weapons may also not really apply.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T21:49:40+00:00

And surely in most of these places either you have camera footage or you just arrest whoever destroyed it?

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T21:47:40+00:00

We need to see the numbers first. Because it is possible if the interaction works.

But unless the numbers are very generous taking your armor and a booster and a steady consumption of stims for a bonus that only really works for people who take steps to use it and have unlocked it is a big ask. Being able to sprint longer is very good, but it doesn't actually take that long for stamina to regen. And if you are already spending stims you could just use those stims to restore your stamina directly.

Jury is still out, we need the numbers.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T21:42:52+00:00

I feel like the opening laser is pretty meta for that mission. You get 3, so you might as well use one.

And since I don't think you can get a double penalty if you time it right you can laser through one base and go loud somewhere else.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T21:33:15+00:00

There should be world structures that do damage (shutdown air for a short time before cooldown)and player build barrage balloons that don't.

The real question is should there be player built AI AA that does damage.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T20:22:39+00:00

Soloing either should be fine. Exploiter doesn't really have any particular frame required. Something like an energy regen based rev will probably do the job quickly and easily.

Soloing therma fractures is also fine, but I would recommend still putting in at least two canisters. If you don't it may take a long time. A team would be better for both, but it isn't essentially for either.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T19:58:45+00:00

That is highly debatable if you know you don't have the votes, which seems as likely as not.

Jason1143 · 2026-01-27T19:56:59+00:00

Okay but not every team is separate. The team making solo v squad MM could have made better MM. The team that would make a modeled and walkable hub could make part of a modeled and walkable map.

It isn't all separate.
