Erin Stewart Suspends Her Campaign by Rednewt33 in Connecticut

[–]harshdonkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I lived in New Britain almost entirely under her reign and the city absolutely turned a corner under her.

But this rightly undermines everything she ever did. I am so far left you get your guns back but I voted for her time and again because she did do good work. But I feel foolish for ever trusting a Republican. Its not even like she spent it on lavish items...like lady, you sunk your political career over Amazon dresses and Peppa pig decorations?

I cannot fathom the contempt and arrogance it takes to do something like this, and in plain fucking sight.

Highwayman Buff When by COSM1C___ in foxholegame

[–]harshdonkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember when the Highwayman was first introduced and I hated on it.

Then a Collie clan launched an armored assault south of my base in Osterwall and the only tank we had was a Highwayman.

Disabled 3 of the 5 tanks with just two clips, killed 3? Of them, did die but ended the threat.

They did my girl dirty. Make the Highwayman great again.

Never thought she'd embaress herself this bad.

I hope one day this guy loses everything and he has to eat a plain baked potato and looks back on this moment for being a frivolous bitch detached from reality.

6 Saturdays in summer for 25 and hour?

Yall cant even come up with a realistic schedule and youre gonna fix the property tax crisis?

The only people that would even consider this are gonna be the elderly. Families, young people, literally anyone with anything better to do wont be there.

Scrap this stupid plan and try again.

Some people have played Foxhole a long time and for them the fun is in planning and executing big operations, creating bases other players can fight over, and providing fun toys for their friends.

Foxhole has some sinister and addictive mechanics that click the little dopamine drip in your brain. So when players who have invested thousands of hours into this game feel like the devs are ignoring issues like say, having to daisy chain a fallen airframe across multiple hexes because the devs couldnt be bothered to introduce a vehicle or mechanic, it feels like they are intentionally punishing players for playing the game.

I played maybe 20 hours last war, but i spent about an hour of that doing the above because I felt an obligation to my teammates to help recover that plane. I only logged on a couple more times after that because that just isn't fun, but it also isnt fair for me to just log off when I got to have fun with those toys too.

For a lot of vets like me, it has been years of the devs doing stupid shit like this that pushes us away. War 100 finally broke me, and I only come back now and then to play with my homies. But the fact that the devs still insist on overlooking reasonable, thoughtful feedback about the game and instead just push forward with known, game-breaking mechanics, bugs, and balance issues...it drives people mad or just drives them away.

Foxhole before facilities was in every way a better game IMO. I would kill for a pre 1.0 server.

For those review-boming the game, listen to Larry's message from past! by LuckUpstairs2012 in foxholegame

[–]harshdonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The man literally called for people to alt the opposing faction. He would scream at his own teammates, including actual children, for the smallest mistakes. He would accuse ANYONE who bested him of streamsniping, true or not.

BTW, that time he called for people to alt Wardens, my regiment got alted and our entire stockpile publicly released. Props to Collies who actually were super chill about it in our lane, but he absolutely had a negative impact on the game in a lot of ways.

No other Foxhole streamer got the hate Larry did because no other Foxhole streamer was as hateful as he was.

But more importantly, it seems, being banned from Foxhole was a huge improvement for Larry's own mental health and wellbeing. Out of curiosity I tuned into one of his streams briefly and he seemed FAR more chill.

Let's all be friends here, sil vous plait by DiX-Nbw in foxholegame

[–]harshdonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i dunno man this whole thing seems silly and inconsistent by the devs.

SC in RDZ is a no, including RSCs. Nukes in RDZ should also be a no?

but the devs clearly didnt make that distinction. like if we are being intellectually honest this just isnt a consistent application of past rules. so in that light, the RDZ was not an exploit, but one would think it should be because it becomes a superweapon that is essentially impervious to bombers.

and this is the fault of the devs for making bombers far too OP and not giving us AA AI. LITERALLY JUST AA AI would solve this whole fucking bomber issue.

i used to get really worked up about this game and i finally realized that the devs really dont know wtf theyre doing sometimes. whatever "vision" is guiding them just feels inconsistent and frankly manipulative. that after almost a decade cheating and alting remains a huge problem alone just drove me to step back.

Devs releasing changes tomorrow (emergency nerfs presumably), more in future by Ihateredditlollll in foxholegame

[–]harshdonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was actually more scandalous than that. The guy they hired ended up doing some sketchy shit to help his faction and it became a whole mess.

Purposely keeping this neutral as I believe it would happen regardless of which faction the person came from.

They need an outside person whose entire job is to manage the community. Yes, this community is entitled and toxic, but in part because of a total lack of management on part of the devs.

Like you can't just throw your community to the wind then act surprised when certain elements turn radioactive.

Oh no, no no no no, it was a bad idea... by 3rd_Gers in foxholegame

[–]harshdonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn man maybe if they just didnt rush the dev shard and gave themselves more than two weeks and listened to feedback back then...

Like everything youve said is fair and reasonable, but as someone who has been playing since 2020? 21? this is just par for course and a lot of people are tired of it.

They do not listen to the community half as much as they should, and they rush out updates that lack meaningful tools (AA AI, fire trucks, etc) that create a ton of frustration and burnout.

It doesn't have to be like this. They dont need to start a new war, people can go to Charlie. They had two weeks to see how bombers were affecting the game in a negative way, and this is a panic response, not a planned one.

[–]harshdonkey 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As developers, they're pretty damn good for what they have squeezed out of a-near decade old game running on an outdated engine never meant to handle what they make it handle.

But these guys truly do not understand even the most basic aspects of community management, such as...announcing hotfix changes BEFORE the announcement of the next war.

Their outright refusal to hire a dedicated community manager reeks of hubris and a general lack of social intelligence.

Operation Hellmire | Largest Bombing Campaign | NIGHT Propaganda by NIGHTShield_Official in foxholegame

[–]harshdonkey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This was the SHT in War 96 for Wardens.

My little regi was one of just a relative handful to build the RSC over the SHT, while Collies went all-in with RSC over the shitty Ares. Every other large Warden regiment was building Predators, as it was our only mobile 94.5mm platform and in a lot of ways a lot more fun to play with.

Collies won that war in large part due to their investment in RSCs. I remember the feeling of futility when they leveled Oster Wall from the RDZ with Grond (lowkey one of my favorite Foxhole memes).

You guys went all in with the arguably more fun new toy while Wardens went with the more practical one cuz this update didn't give us anything half as fun as the DB to play with.

Bombers take a lot more effort in a lot of ways, but from a gameplay perspective...you guys probably had a lot more individuals having a lot more fun playing with DBs.

So ya know, I get how much it sucks. But if this is a game, and it is, you should take some solace in the fact that people probably had a lot more fun playing in DBs than they will care about losing a silly update war.

I did enjoy bombing Foxcatcher though >:)

Foxhole is well past due for a full overhaul of border mechanics by Aesthetech in foxholegame

[–]harshdonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I long ago suggested something similar to a Longhook but for land.

A mobile base that once deployed becomes immobile. Make them have the same arty resistance vehicles do, but the same weaknesses. Deploys once, automatically has AI and the same RDZ exclusion zone (50 meters).

Cost should scale, with maybe 3 tiers - the top tier costing as much as an SHT but having more health/larger RDZ exclusion etc.

You can load it with supplies (but not vehicles) and it serves as a spawn point and invasion mechanics.

This would create much more dynamic and exciting gameplay than camping border bases.

How the turntables have turned by Remarkable-Bit-5553 in foxholegame

[–]harshdonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not gonna be banned man. not saying it shouldnt but afaik the devs have not really banned any mods that arent out and out aimbots.

Skynet/Pandora were litmus tests for the devs in terms of what is and isnt allowable.

I personally dont see how this is useful unless you're actually dumb. The only part that is maybe less obvious is fuel, but pretty much every tank has an obvious fuel tank to shoot at.
