- I think that Drovned Vale had some great battles recently, so that's what i would say. But I think that Farranac coast is my favourite region to fight in.
- I like to build in Callahan's Passage even thought i don't get to do it there too often. There's a lot of crossroads.
- I would LOVE to see a change to City building, just to make more interesting to build in them.
I've been hearing a lot about Drowned Vale on the discord. Glad to hear it's working.
I'd have to say my favorite battlefields are in towns or any urban setting. I feel it brings more of your team together because you are either trying to defend or attack something that matters and the confined spaces mean you can communicate and interact more with your team.
My favorite location to build defenses would have to be on any active frontline. I can normally find a new player that has no idea what building is and ask him for help, this way I can teach him a new aspect of the game while also allowing us to build more than 1 guy can accomplish.
Thanks for your answer!
Hi Reddit.
If you don't know me, I'm Matt, one of the developers on Foxhole.
Occasionally, on our Discord, I ask the community a few questions. I thought this time it would be nice to include the Reddit community as well.
So I have two questions for you:
I'd love to get your answers and specifically what makes it fun or memorable to you. Try to keep your answers positive in this situation. We get lots of feedback on things people don't like, so we're covered there.
I want to know what you love.
Thanks!
External link →Read moreMatt has addressed this before: any event we instigate, cause, or participate is not going to be apart of the game lore. This all occurs after a certain transition between the lore of the world, and the actual play. They aren't going to lay a hand on any of that--it's up to folks like you, me, Presscorp, and everyone else to pitch in and make it into a history. This is our history, not the game's.
The stories of Lime, PUG, 82DK, the skirmishes on Fisherman's Row during the fall storms, the WNS bombing of Jade Cove, the destruction of Southern Saltbrook ... how in hell are the devs supposed to look at this mess of stories, banter, and perseverance, and supposed to accurately represent any of it? They can't.
And so often we've seen from other communities and games, that the devs can't do this sort of thing. From Eve Online's Fountain War to the organ, drug, and skin trade of Rimworld to the bloodstained halls of Boatmurdered, we get rich communities with hist...
Just catching up to this now. This is exactly how I feel. These are your stories. If something is important, you guys won't allow it to be forgotten. Much like real history. That's actually part of the beauty of this kind of game and I'd be doing it a disservice to get my hands in it.
If I had to guess any similarities are likely because we're taking inspiration from similar places. Both Scythe and Foxhole are 'alternate' takes on WW1/2 style combat. We're really looking forward to playing Iron Harvest!
Glad you dig 'em. This was me just f*cking around with trying to make a big beefy clanky machinegun.
Hey, hi. Thanks for the feedback. For what it's worth, this is phase one of the region zones and the forts are temporary. I agree they are random and out of place. You can see in many region zones there's some ground work for a future update, but before committing entirely we wanted to see how it's working. In the future you may only see one or two of these forts in the world.
Okay, hear me out: what if it's just a game with some random lore that a writer came up with without any intention of connecting it to our world? Isn't this the most likely explanation? What would be the point of connecting the story to our reality? I'd expect to actually avoiding any connections so that players don't feel any personal connection to either faction in order to randomly balance them out.
You're just seeing patterns, because our brains are wired to do so. Secondly, none of your points is particularly strong; e.g. Caoivish would be an adjective in English based on Caoiva, and English has deep roots in Latin anyway. Basing propaganda on something like honour is expected, even native American tribes did that, AFAIK. Etc.
I can assure you that nothing in Foxhole is random.
All world-building is a mix of influences. Humans are horribly bad at inventing entirely new, unseen concepts. Most western fantasy (a la Tolkien) takes myths and legends and medieval history, puts it in a blender and makes a nice little smoothie out of it.
Foxhole is not inspired by the conflicts of WWI and WWII aside from, obviously, equipment and era (much like you'd see in fantasy with swords and shields and tactics). It is an original setting. Patterns are intentional. There isn't a single thing in the lore that has been put there without consideration for how it relates to the history of the world.
My thought as to why this is hard for people to parse is that it is recent enough in history that we have photographs and video depicting the era, whereas pretty much anything prior, we don't.
But to your point, all fiction is inherently something 'a writer came up with.'
It's very easy to simply add carryable lights. In the earliest versions of the game, we actually had lanterns you could equip.
However, we wanted to make it so that if we added something like this, it affected your visibility and carved away at the 'fog of war' you experience at night. These two things are what make it not-so-trivial and so therefore not the biggest priority. I suspect you might see this feature one day.
Happy to report this has been fixed for the next update :)
A fix for this will be in the next update :)
Happy to report we've fixed this and it will be in the next patch!
We are investigating, thanks for the report.
Did anything in your network topology change since you last played successfully? I.e. changed router, add a second router, connecting through a 3g/4g/lte modem etc.
Otherwise a steam restart and a full computer restart can sometimes help with this particular issue.
i do not recall a spesific circumstance. despite having a radio equipped and receiving the tower information when on foot, when i get into the driver seat, game acts as if i do not have a radio equipped. no signals on my homescreen or orange/white circles on the map.
when this happens, if i'm driving through questionable places, i hop off from time to time to check my map, see if any enemy is nearby, then get back into the truck and continue.
does not always happen everytime but it is a common bug.
cheers
Thanks, we'll look into it!
issue: radio does not work in truck bug
this was reported before but wanted to carry on to this thread as well. you often can't see towers with map while driving which is pretty bad since it's truckers who need towers the most.
an alternative fix: let trucks have built in radios (may be optional with some extra cost during construction at vf.)
I'm going to look into this issue, do you have any more information about the circumstances when this happens?
Hey Sturmgeist, I'm a programmer on Foxhole
This is most likely a false positive. Since trojans attempt to 'hide'/exist within running programs, the way anti-virus software tries to find them is by scanning all running programs for bit 'patterns' of known trojans. However, this method can lead to antivirus incorrectly categorizing a program as a trojan, which is most likely what happened here.
You can try updating Kaspersky (as the developers improve it over time to catch fewer false positives) or ping them on their forums to ask for support. They can anal...
