Redpill me on this game
You ever play a shooter and think, "This game doesn't have enough busywork"?
>>719784913Shit game and the devs are fags
>>719785209>>719785250So it's an autistic game?
>>719785414It's one of those games that sounds epic when you tell a story of something that happened but pretty dogshit for the hours you are actually playing it.
>>719784913It's okay. The best stuff is very much locked down by regiments/squad play and I struggled to commit. However you can usually just spawn near the front lines and join a group of chucklefucks trying to do something stupid like steal a boat or whatever - and that's fun as hell. >>719785209Logi is just for the turbo autists. I've never done it but I appreciate the fact that it scratches an itch for a certain type of player.
>>719784913>die to AI >respawn and run for 5 minutes>repeatthis is a big part of what this game is
>>719785414Worse its an elitist tryhard clan dominated game that has the devs licking their johnsons every second and shits on ANY new playersIf you didnt jump in on this game in the first couple of months and played it religiously like it was your fucking job there is no reason to even waste your money nowStay far the fuck away from this one friend
>What if we made a WWII RTS but for Germans?
>>719784913>focus on logistics with two bros>get materials and a truck running>get near the front to deliver supplies>a bunch of fags demand our truck>we say no>they kill us and blow the truckYou'll either have to join the big group or you'll have to deal with shitty behavior from those faggots all the time. The other option is just get to the front and join the randos for some major fun retardation and hope you don't get rolled by a big clan or something, as they'll do whatever they want and suffer no punishment.tl;dr shoot shit and stay away from big groups.
The game is fun, the community is cancer
>>719784913EvE Online but with WWII Army Men
>>719784913Absolute trash, do not waste your time.
>>719784913If you play collies you're a fucking loser
>>719785612The AI always misses their first shots, you're just dumb. Especially since they're usually visible on the map. If they're not and you have such a hard time with them, maybe you ought to grab a radio backpack and binocs to spot enemies for everyone. (dont lose the radio you bitch)
>>719786130whoever the retard fanboy is who drew this, that furfag should've been sitting behind a wheel. Then it would actually be "funny".
Devs steadily upped the autism requirement for doing stuff other than being a grunt at the frontline. This made things much more dependent on clans (ingame guilds), which are the very definition of clannish like >>719785754 said. Think hoarding supplies away, locking up mines for their own private use, and never contributing to anything that isn't their own plan. Add on all the drama that a online video game group attracts as well. Playing with randoms at the front can be fun, but doing nothing but zerging gets tiring. In short, you missed the heyday of /v/ermin, which has long gone>pic related was 5 years ago
>figure out the basics of building shit>build an ambulance and put some medical gear in it>drive to a front and set up a field hospital >have fun for a good hour or so healing players and bringing crit soldiers back to the hospital>wounded regularly brought to the ambulance so I can heal them>some nasally faggot comes up and says it's in the way and wasting space for tanks>blows it the fuck up with a grenade and kills me when I don't immediately respondI just wanted to medic and drive the funny car with the weewoo horn
>>719786719>he thought he could have fun in a video gamerookie mistake
>>719784913It gets boring once you figure out it's all AI bunker spam and that the best loadout is running naked with a pistol because you can dodge bullets like you're Neo.
>>719784913I like the premise but the gameplay isn't good enough to keep me interested.
Incredibly toxic playerbase. And I don’t mean the cool kind like Arma Reforger where people call each other niggers and faggots, I mean the lame reddit kind where retards form huge clans bully new players.I recently started playing this and have just been focusing on “backline logistics” which is basically mining resources and throwing them in the stockpiles for others to use. I don’t bother using factories or producing any kind of equipment, I’m content just driving trucks full of resources from resource fields to the refinery. Always gives me a smile when I see the BMats I’ve produced and left in the refinery get taken up by another player, which is ironic because normally that would piss people off, but I just don’t care enough to really give a shit about hoarding resources. Occasionally I’ll grab a truck and transport equipment left behind on backline depots/seaports and move them to a depot/seaport closer to the frontlines. It’s such an inconsequential yet helpful thing so nobody has bothered me… yet. Thankfully I’ve been blessed with crippling autism, so doing that scratches an itch that’s been paining me for years. But then I look at the text chat and there’s always some argument going on 24/7 about how some guy stole someone’s else’s shit. Basically, as long as you stick to doing boring shit, nobody bothers you. If you dare to have fun, a bunch of no life faggots will come after you and ruin the game for you then complain on forums about how the game never gets any new players. It’s the kind of game that works perfect on paper but is ruined by the fanbase of all things.tldr; unless you’re incredibly autistic and like doing boring shit, stay away. This game deserves to die. I’m just getting my logistics kicks while it’s still alive, which probably won’t be for long considering how dead this game has been for months. >>719786130The funny thing is, the overwhelming majority of Foxhole players are furries.
>>719784913Solid concept, fun game, bad execution.The beauty of Foxhole was in the brief window when it was simply 2 near identical factions, green and blue that hated the other for simply being a difrent colour.You could build anyhting and break it with whatever you had at hand, if someone was being an ass you just bayonetted them regardless if friend or foe have a laugh about it and moved on and most importantly the game had cross faction proximity voice chat.Those days are long gone.Youll never hear two south balkan slavs from opposing teams yelling slurs at eachother from their trench across the no-mans land.... they would get autobanned (and money stolen) by the flagging system anyway nowadays.You either fall in line and become a clannie or be fodder in the biggest meatgrinder on the map with minimal impact to the persistent state of the war. The game has less content for small and medium size groups. Devs have doubled down on giving team blue and team green a "unique identity" and weapons, throwing game balance out the window. Cranked up the tedium and busywork just to waste your time.So dont waste your time on this game, Foxhole is done.The days of 30-odd something /v/ermins running around the map, changing course of every war they took part in and forcing the devs to nerf/remove every fun mechanic from the game were fun. I still think of my wardenbros from time to time, they were cool guys, every single last one of em.
>>719785414If you're not a clannigger you will never experience 70% of the game's content. Also combat is absolute AIDS and it's by design. The concept of the game is great but the execution is terrible.
>>719784913Basically anything fun in the game is withheld by clan trannies who basically enforce complete control over the resources in the game. And if you try to use any of these resources, you get team killed and mass reported until you're banned. You can't drive a vehicle, you're not allowed a tank. You can't use any of the new ships. Any advanced weapons you won't be allowed to use. Because if you do, you're "wasting resources".
>>719787176
>>719785414It's one of those second job games like EVE or rustUnless you are a part of a platoon sized group of people who constantly and regularly play together you are just fucking about doing nothing and can get no enjoyment from the game
>>719787294Of course I stole shit from clanniggers. Doesn't change the fact the actual gameplay is hot garbage. Reminds me of early Project Reality when you had to sit still for 5 fucking seconds if you wanted to shoot semi accurately. Game promotes camping like a little nigger. There was a period when shotguns were really good but I remember them nerfing them into the ground because they were too fun to use compared to all the other janky ass weapons.
>>719784913>garbage community>garbage devs>boring 90% of the time>mandatory to join clan>loads of griefing>rinse and repeat 10000000%i want my money back
>>719787294This pic is taken moments before admins got involved to "disperse" the friendship windmill. And one of the /v/ermin squadleaders gave an epic speech after total victory on the spawn island."Fuck Collies, Fuck clannies and fuck jannies"i think someone even recorded it but i coudlnt find it.

Clans, or “regiments” as they call themselves, ruin the game. They steal equipment from other players then lock them up and hoard them to collect dust in a private facility because they never actually put them to use. They act like they’re the driving force in wars but all they do is just slow everyone down
>>719789884aren't all wars on charlie a shitshow that drag on forever because clans dont play there? as cunty as competitive groups often become in every game, they at least understand that throwing shit into a useless grinder wont achieve anything. it's the same in hell let loose, blueberries take the point and immediately lose it and all the spawns too because they're too dumb to understand basics of the game, and you have to start all over
>>719791070Anon, every hex has been changing colors back and forth for months now, not just Charlie. For all the coordination and veterancy clans have, they’re still just as worthless and retarded as new players
>>719791375Eh, that's just the level of teamwork rising. If hexes swap on Charlie because new players cant defend or build, on the main it's because artillery, tank swarms etc succeed in offense even against competent defense, right? Which is preferable to nothing happening if defense was stronger than attack. I suppose the problem is in hoarding though, if both sides are too cautious then nothing will happen. Rather commit to a risky push that results in either total victory or total defeat than drag things on.
>>719785539Going on a trucking mission after 12 hours of battle is relaxing, what can I say Also gives me a chance to put intel on the map without getting shot at, immediately anyway
>>719784913Haven't played it in years. I used to have so much fun just running bullets and band-aids to the boys at the front.
>>719791070Charlie War 9 (The Big One) was anything but static. It was a war based around fast maneuvers, QRFs, and attrition. Usually when we (the Colonials) would take say a safe house or relic base or what have you a Warden counter attack would show up. Now this would be easy to deal with on its own but these fuckers got smart and would find our weak points in our lines and counter attack there at the same time, forcing us to peel off reinforcements to deal with that.
ultra kino concept, ruined by the (((community)))
>>719795356Their reddit and discord is straight trash, you have a better community in the global chat than in those places or most clans
>>719784913fun to go to the front and have a few rambo moments but the nitty-gritty of what it offers (large frontlines, complex logistical lines, escalating technology) is all locked behind big clans so you have to make yourself subservient to some fucker's discord group just so you can have access to the high tier shit.If you don't? you go click rocks for a while or go get shot at at the front. The second one can be a lot of fun though still, and there are a few things that can be coordinated in game like small pushes
>Devs are incompetent retards who can't balance the game for shit, refuse to deal with cheaters and alts, and regularly used to balance the game around what an eceleb wanted>Playerbase is mostly normal, but there are alot of faggots in world chat, trannies and furries, and 3edgy5me spergs who can't contain themselves>The gameplay itself has gotten worse over the years, with lag getting worse, systems becoming more convoluted, and like half the games content locked behind player factories that require borderline constant upkeep and watching, otherwise someone might fucking with it (Both the enemy and your own fucking team)That being said, it's still one of my favorite games, 2k hours and I reached Lt Col
Do you think the dev's new game will be fun? Looks like buildings are more complex on this one
>>719797981at the very least you won't have to deal with constantly looking at the edge of the screen to shoot at stuff, unless you're probably an archer. That alone will make this game more tolerable.
>>719784913Good idea on paper, terrible on execturion. Unless you're willing to join a clan, stay on discord 24/7 and turn it into your second job, it's not worth it. The game is basically ruled by big clans that are the only way you can access the core mechanics of the game and have any semblance of player coordination, and even then it's rarely fun. The devs instead of trying to make a organic way for every player to be part of the war machine and naturally organize themselves, they left everything in the hands of autistic clan members and are constantly locking more and more stuff only for them, planes will be the same.
>>719785519I picked up on this after I was out of the refund window. All of those epic youtube videos that hype the shit out of the game are disingenuous as fuck.
>>719797981The stress test was fun because you didn't have to worry about losing anything. A closed test I was in was fun because of the crafting, building and teamwork elements in the clan I got into. I didn't like the combat too much because losing gear was too much of a risk. It's the opposite of Foxhole for me; I dislike logi very much in Foxhole and just enjoy the combat, but in Anvil it's much more fun to build your own little village.
>>719784913The moment the devs allowed players to gather public resources and lock them away in a private stockpile, the game was doomed. It's supposed to be a war simulator where everything you do is to fuel the war machine of your faction, but in reality it just ended up with the bigger groups of people dictating how the others have to play. Everything else the devs are doing just worsened the state of the game. Planetside is probably the only game that managed to make a persistent warfare MMO and make it fun.
imagine EVE onlinewhere everything you see in the game were craft by players at some pointall the bullet you shoot all the ship you flysomeone(bot) had to go mine, gather resource, refined it then turn it into equipments that you can usebut now with trannies instead of boomers
I bought it and enjoyed it for 33 hours but now can't bring myself to ever open it up, I don't even have an idea as to why
>>719784913Hello, I have over 8,000 hours. Its definitely an autist game. I do way less frontlining than I used to. I just treat logi and building like an idle game. Many people don't really build in smart ways that can cut down on enemy partisan paths, so I try to fill an important gap.Even though I like this style of gameplay, my time would probably be better spent just mass producing crates and sending it to forward depots and letting the tards in the backline get their shit burnt down and vehicles stolen.Back when I was employed, I used to partisan all the time - high risk high reward. But the game has changed over time, and they've really made it difficult to be a good partisan nowadays due to Obs towers and other nerfs and just in general the playerbase improving and will QRF you. If you aren't in the partisan discord where they all contribute to the intel of marking watch towers, and you can have friends to call on to pull off an op like "ok you smoke, you supress this with an HMG, we run in with havocs to blow up the super heavy tank" then you are going to be limited.The clans are all run by leftists so if you misgender anyone you're banned from all clan discords. The warden side, my faction, is overrun with trans people spamming cum and other degeneracy at all times. The only time anyone remotely 'based' gets all the pariahs and social outcasts like me together, they end up being powerhungry faggots or will bend the knee when the faction cuts them off from logi, or they hoard.In the devs defense, you can actually report unhinged leftists calling for the death of CEOs and they will ban them. You need a lot of patience to not get banned, so dont type anything too spicy in world chat because the devs clearly have a leftist bias.anyways i still enjoy dunking on people with a rifle from time to time even if I dont have anyone to gunboat or tank with and doing an operation with clans is basically not happening unless I change my identity.
Never forget a time when a ragtag group of 30 or so random retarded /v/ermin bought the game and immediately changed the course of every war they took part in and were so influential the devs specifically started banning leadership and patched out the /v/ermin kommando gameplay styleFuck clanniesFuck tranniesFuck niggersFuck jannies
