Collies Where Are You? Logi Rant Foxhole War 100

[@articor5132]

Have to agree man. I got the game for Christmas just this year and I joined on the side of Wardens because they were losing pretty hard. (as I've said in a previous comment) I had so much fun trying to desperately stop the infinite wave of Collie tanks, holding entire pushes in a tiny town and my area of the map (Morgen's crossing) held 'til nearly the last day. I understand burnout, I'm burnt out as well but going so far as to completely quit for the rest of the war is unsportsmanlike.

[@RobertLovesGames]

It’s just a little to early. I normally understand around 5/32 or something but 15/32?!? And if it’s because of the alts then they are just letting the alts win. Thanks for your feedback as always! Cheers!

Collies have given up.....3 weeks later.....this aged well. LOL

[@RobertLovesGames]

Lol I bite my tongue now. But it’s still not technically over yet… 30/32!!!

[@matthewhutt544]

@@RobertLovesGames Agreed, not over til it's over and fight til the end. I think the biggest issue is the collies have been better coordinated in the past few wars. I've been on the front lines with my Armour Squad and we do well to kill 4 or 5 tanks before we finally make a mistake but collies seem to have a constant patern of shelling at night and coordinated blob inf attacks in the morning to overwhelm us. In the end, whoever works together best should win most wars. We just haven't been doing that enough.

[@RobertLovesGames]

I agree with this a lot. Could definitely use some better communication.

[@tristenhood2725]

I agree yes collies are losing but the war is far from over wardens are notorious for not building up our gains and we can easily be pushed back

[@RobertLovesGames]

I love this mentality!! Fight tell the end! Cheers!

[@Popcornlord0]

As a Warden and logi, this is entirely true. The stuff I see on the back lines worry me, and the fact that Collies have won before with, what was it, 4 hexes left, just shows that no matter the situation, you can pull back and win. Hell if you collies win like that again I'll be so dam excited, even if wardens lose. If someone complains about quitting cuz they losing, just tell them to leave and let the people who know they are losing but want to fight for every inch play, my personal though process. Lets water every inch of land given with blood! With Love from Wardens.

[@Hillineunundsechzig]

Every supp q is full everywhere, even with Jade we cannot get enough supps. Warden are building quite a lot if you compare it to the collies. In the last 2 days FC has been quite fortified.

[@isthatme6171]

i like your perspective as a warden side toward collonials players. but you seem to missed out some points. in today foxhole since after the facility expansion the regiments has got closer and further toward cooperation with other regiments. we in Westgate had a great person who trying to unite the smaller regiments for more cooperation instead of hoarding that lead to civil war which happened to both side factions. and with that said we also had our life event that occured on unexpected time such as my friend in Turkey had this massive Earthquake today. he is fortunately still alive and with the example such as those can occurs even smaller event still can pull our players as collonial out from the game but we still fighting. i do hate to point out about alts, griefers and low pops but collonials is always a low pop agaisnt much larger wardens regiments and we winning the 97-99 wars is because half of wardens was not in the game (if im not wrong). you guys might know about MSA at the deadland and why they still fighting strong but do you know about western and eastern side of collonial? most of them is lot more smaller regiments compared to MSA and having burned out from what i heard. and lastly, Burned out. it is common in foxhole because this war has come to over 25 irl days. most of them did not expect such lenghty war which didn't happened since war 95 (forever war). it is thrilling for some people and tiring for some people. and that it from my perspective toward my own factions. there still some more of the stories i wanted to tell but i might stray away from the path of actual things that is important. but we will not give up until the end of the war! Legio Invicta! P.S me english bad, forgib my enblish

[@RobertLovesGames]

I understand that facilities are not helping any side, Warden or Collies. Glad to hear your friend is alive! This has been a nice long war and I commend the collies that are still giving it their all! Cheers! P.S English is not bad at all!

[@f222raptor]

hey robert first time seen your video u bring up many good points i play as a colonial always have i think the biggest issue this was for colonials has been the past few wars they got so relaxed with beating wardens they just didnt expect this much of a fight cause so used to being the dominate ones it has totally broken the morale of the cols im really enjoying the war i like fact it a huge battle and not 1 sided makes it much more fun

[@RobertLovesGames]

Thanks for your input! I think your right with getting to relaxed. I’m loving this war and hope it gets up to at least 30 days. Cheers!

8:30 well... are Wardens now quitting?

[@RobertLovesGames]

I hope not! Hopefully this collie comeback gives us some push to fight more! Loving this war!!

[@jameshogge5263]

55 days. The longest and bloodiest war in the history of Foxhole. It resulted in an unexpected and glorious colonial victory.. We initially got pushed real hard and people were indeed logging off. But some of us believed. Some of us remained and decided to fight back. We organized tank flanking. We partisaned the Warden lines. We fought like lions to take Feirmor back, at which point the Wardens started to lose morale. Then all the way to Ogmaran for the final blow. Almost two IRL months. Fifty five days of blood, sweat and tears. I played the whole war, never gave up. So proud of my team and the Colonial forces. Never give up

[@RobertLovesGames]

I did not see a colonial victory coming when I made this video lol. I was proved wrong and I'm glad I was because it was a great war. Good on you for playing the whole war! Nice work! I like your dedication! Hope to see you on the battlefield! Cheers!

[@flakcannonhans]

I am still having a lot of fun with this game but I still think a lot of changes need to be done. The addition of Charlie shard made Warden low pop an issue on able but now since they have been merged there isn’t really an excuse for that anymore. I think people’s biggest complaints are definitely facilities and alts. Although I don’t see alts myself I understand they can be a really big problem and I’d say the anti cheat needs an update to better counter alts. It’s really just to easy to deliver a crate of tanks to the other faction with no one really realizing. Also facilities need to change as anybody I talk to say they are just too much work on top of the other logi they already do.

[@RobertLovesGames]

Glad you are still enjoying the war! Yea unfortunately collies have had some bad alts this war. Lot of footage of it. Might make video on it. Thanks for the input! Cheers!

[@Kesen2003]

Honestly any war longer than 20-25 days is too damn long. But otherwise I like foxhole.

[@RobertLovesGames]

I love wars that go over 25 days. Means both teams are putting in quite a bit of effort I think. Definitely normally sucks for the next war because a lot of people get burnt out. I hate wars that are under 20 days. Normally seems like one side is just steam rolling the whole time.

[@orangecream3340]

I think the problem is just how big a war is in foxhole. In other games like csgo for example its a lot more obvious how it was or wasn't your fault the team lost. But in foxhole it's a lot harder to find what failed so everyone points fingers. No one is going to think that they individually contributed to the loss but they all will think they contributed to the win.

[@RobertLovesGames]

That’s a good point. It took me while to get away from the individually how can I make a big difference mentality. It’s a giant team game and everyone has a part to play. I like to feel like I’m helping in some way with my solo logi. Thanks for the input! Cheers!

6:46 fading light get bmat to stonecradle seaport and use a freighter to jade cove is better IMO if you have the bmat

[@RobertLovesGames]

Possible. Mara is really good because it can go to Jade cove still or even further up the frontline if we have those storage bases or it can supply Mercy's Wish as well. Plus freighter from stone to jade is still such a long journey. Would rather take more important supplies than bmats to Jade if I was going to do freighter.

[@askplays]

As a collie I think where your expectations went wrong, is the warden perception this was gonna be the *biggest*? war. Sure the warden vets were called upon to come back to stop the win streak. The thing is thats not the case for the colonials idk if the collie vets didin't believe the warden vets would actually come like it was hyped up at the end of 99. But atleast in 141/NEP and as far as i can see, we had no returning Vets for 100. We had largely the same players maybe a few more then the queue hell wars of 98 and 99, not even close to the amount we had in 96. Like 97 had more players then 100 as far as I can tell. We aren't giving up of course, as you can probably tell now 10 days later and 2 nukes down. I'm still fighting at the Baths every day. But yeah you might have to lower your expectations for the collie performance, At the end of 99 we thought the hype of wardens returning was a bluff lol, Sorry for not meetign your expectations. I won't blame Alts as without them i think we would still be losing, but it sure as hell hasn't helped, seen far too many with my own eyes this war.

[@RobertLovesGames]

Sad that no vets from collies came for war 100. Seemed to me like everyone was hyping it up since war 98. Collies have had some crazy alt problems so I understand why some of your people quit. I just had a video on it and only use half the clips. In this video I'm more calling out collies that were complaining in war 98 and 99 that Warden force was not strong enough and now that we are they aren't even playing this war. Appreciate your input and feedback! Cheers!

[@askplays]

@Robert LuvsGames Ive seen that video 👍but it isn't just alts, many people have real life stuff to do and Foxhole takes a lot of time commitment so I don't blame them, but it would be more fun if they were here, that I agree with you on. A lot of people quit when their base dies aswell (from both sides), or start playing a lot more casually. It helps avoid burnout if you don't build at all, lol. It's nice to see you are still enjoying the game.

[@LynarMatal]

I won't lie my knee-jerk reaction to this was to be angry. However, that's definetely part of the big problem you mentioned - is that the game becomes too competetive. I have people in my regiment who have never played warden and I genuinely think they despise Blueberries. I think that those who don't play both sides, and this includes you (sorry) just don't understand the full culture inherent to each team, how we work with different equipment -- and how we have fun. I love playing Collie and I really enjoy my time as Warden, there's hiccups on both sides, being able to see both sides just makes it easier to roll with. If you'll permit me I'd like to share my regimental experience for your ponderance on regimental bases. (Only one of the many legitimate issues you brought up). Real defensible bases that regiments pour their hearts and souls into tend to be the Hummers of consumption. A functional Concrete base with even just 2-layers of defense sucks up anywhere from 2k-10k gsupps an hour. Most members of a regiment don't like doing gsupp duty, so it becomes the job of 2-5 members. When a base like that is destroyed, you don't build another one, you're free, that would be like escaping from prison and then building a new one to trap yourself. (I like me a good simile) Despite disagreeing on some portions of your rant, it was honestly a really relaxing video to watch, solo logi is really good to unwind.

[@RobertLovesGames]

Thanks for your feedback! Was really helpful for me to read and helps me understand a bit more especially about the bases. Appreciate the constructive input and feedback! Cheers!

not going to lie but if you have a minitrain by the depot you can pull stuff fast which is insane would recommend if needing to anything but bmats because bmat pulls are kinda fast

[@RobertLovesGames]

But with the train it is even faster! Also good for pulling supplies crates from seaports or storage depots.

[@digital-underworld]

I'm a warden loyalist but I think the people playing the game gotta chill. So many people take the game and trying to win it too seriously.

[@RobertLovesGames]

Agreed. I’ll say a majority of the negative ones are on Reddit and Twitch. In game the community is like 95% positive and chill.

[@tekneekenterprise207]

In my unofficial opinion coming from Baker and then Charlie when they forced us to move to Charlie I am now playing on able and get a bunch of Abel players who are saying this war has taken too long so really the only people keeping up the fight on able are former Baker and Charlie players while able players just seem to complain at that we're not doing enough however I continuously on the collie side I pump out public spathas ltd's talos and other vehicles and Equipment everyday but it just doesn't seem to be enough

[@RobertLovesGames]

Thank you for continuing the good fight! Glad collies haven't rolled over. I am loving this war and glad that it is lasting so long. Cheers!

[@gdot1122]

Here is my rant reply 3700 hours in game. Ever single one of them as Colonial as the thought of eating a baby sickens me. One point that you should have said was War 100 also coincided with Baker and Charlie shards being shut down. This forced the Wardens who were happily seal clubbing to come back to Able. In turn that gave the Wardens a population boost initially. This was noticeable as we did not have much in the way a queues for the first few weeks. However, I do not think queues is a problem although it is annoying. For Tech my main issue is the different factions have different equipment. When I first started playing the game the only difference in equipment was purely cosmetic and the underlying stats were the same. This was utopia compared to what we have now. The first new faction specific vehicle I can remember was the Silverhand. When that first came it was completely overpowered and teching it was a war winning event. Wardens won 7 wars in a row before this was nerfed. I understand why the devs did this as at the time the Colonials had 7 more wins so they wanted to even it out. However, for me, this was the first example of dev bias. I say this as they had taken the fun out of this game for Colonials as it was now unwinable. It got so bad that in my estimation 40 life long Colonials, people with 100s or 1000s of hours in the game gave up playing. Now I assume most of you are saying 40 people? Who cares when you have say 1500 players? The issue is at that time the normal total player numbers were 400. So think about that for a minute because of the Silverhand/dev bias they lost 10% of their player base and they couldn't care less. Or to put it another if we say the factions are split 50/50 then 20% of the Colonials gave up the game which exacerbated the problem before they finally took action. In this current war I was playing on the western side of the map and initially things went well as we got Jade Cove with its 2 factories and seaport. The problem was the Wardens held Huskhollow and as soon as motars are teched the seaport is taken out of the game thereby making the factories so much harder to use efficiently. Now compare Jade Cove with other double factor mid line city, Saltbrook. The Colonials can also mortar the seaport from the other side of the river. What can the Wardens do to prevent this. They can attack out of Saltbrook and directly stop this from happening while simultaneously moving the front line forward. What can the Colnials do to secure the seaport in Jade? 1. They can weaken the push out of Jade Cove and start a bridge battle into Husk. 2. They can continue pushing out of Jade Cove, up hill, through another town and multiple bunker bases to curl around the mountain to attack Husk from the north. Does seem as though one side, and one side only, have been given an advantage? Your third point was Alts which I have to agree with. I have never seen so many "captured" Colonial tanks in Warden's hands ever. As above with the closure of Baker and Charlie the Wardens who will do anything to win like seal clubbing and alting came back to Able and it shows. This morning my regiments facility was alted and 3 battle tanks disappeared which has never happened before. Alting is much more prevalent than previous. I have never given up in a war and only in extreme circumstances not played (this war was hospitalised after multiple heart attacks so did not play for a while). Your videos from a Warden dude are the only ones I have watched (sorry cannot bring myself to subscribe as still cannot condone eating babies) and I also understand that as you are Warden you expect dev bias but this really should have formed part of you video if you were trying to stay impartial. Rant finished.

[@RobertLovesGames]

Thanks for sharing your input! Sorry to hear about your facility. I've played both factions before and with this video I am now eating my own words as we are getting stomped by the collies. Maybe it's because I am logi mainly and don't know the meta very well but I have loved this war and it has been one of my favorites. Win or lose as a Warden I just want to say good game to the Collies and thanks for making this war such a blast! Again thanks for your input and sharing your thoughts! Cheers!

[@gregggambolputty2884]

I can't really confirm much you said. I only played two wars (one on each side) about a year ago before I decided I'm done with Foxhole. I logged about 230 hours of active play. Lately I feel like checking it out again to see how much has changed. In any case, my point is I don't have much experience. The Foxhole Subreddit is as rotten as an ancient outhouse. Gotta say it hasn't changed one bit. I tend to not trust anything I read there... but I know that the whole moaning about one thing or another isn't anything new. I've seen people whine about a loss so much on both sides (and being sore winners as well) that I felt ashamed of being part of the community. Just to cover some of the usual complaints and their causes: Asymmetry breeds the excuse of technical imbalance and dev bias. Lack of statistical data transparency breeds the excuse of population ratio imbalance. Bloated egos breed the excuse of alts (because there can be no other explanation than treason when the infallible fail). But really the problem is the motivation of playing Foxhole in the first place. Most mechanics aren't (that) fun. I don't think combat is in any way, shape or form enjoyable as an individual but that's just my opinion. Logi is straight up work, regardless of whether you do it alone or in a regiment. The only payoff is some sense of pride that you're helping the team achieve the goal, which of course is winning the war. If that goal is perceived as unachievable you don't even get that. It's not that winning is everything but I just don't think that the gameplay itself is strong enough to stand without a purpose. Say you'd remove all the manufacturing and logistics and just had a ticket based team deathmatch style game on one region. I don't think that game would hold up. The outcome of any war is primarily decided by the pop ratio and (to a lesser extent) regiments anyway. Both are somewhat abstract concepts where due to the scale an individual doesn't really fit or matter. It is little wonder that players who don't want to go all in with their regiment (if they are in one in the first place) eventually leave. btw I hope people don't think I'm hatin' on the game.

[@RobertLovesGames]

As I always tell people the sub reddit does not reflect the players that are actually in the game. 95% of the people I have met in game and talked to have been some of the nicest people I've met in gaming.

@@RobertLovesGames Alting has been bad on the warden side too, When we were pushing Huskhollow right at the beginning of the war (first week) we had to go every night and clear out logi trucks that had been "left" conveniently blocking every mg garrison in the area. It became a daily task, moving 6 to 8 trucks all of which were left directly blocking garrisons. Its something the devs need to crack down on, rework the ban/reporting system entirely.
