I absolutely love this game and know it can succeed and grow. PLEASE MERGE THE SHARDS!

[yoboikamil]

it's so realistic that they actually even have the "running out of people" aspect of trench warfare

[danphan]

For everyone that hasn’t heard yet, baker shard will be merged into the other two shards. The devs announced yesterday.

[DungEater]

I will always remember first playing this with 2 friends, 30 minutes in and with no knowledge we met a tank squad who needed crew, they took us happily and 8 hours later we still had 3 tanks but only two shells left as we had used it all on the enemy and had no chance of a rearm due to all supplies now dry, we finally abandoned our tanks at a depot and just hoped that the next crew did not waste them, will always miss you random tank squad friends.

i love how baker turned into a post war wasteland with occasional skirmishes

[TK-]

able: war, war never changes.
charlie: just like the simulations.
baker: all quiet on the western front.

[Cifer]

Able & Charlie sound just like what happened with Alterac Valley in WoW. The factions just stopped fighting each other, and started running past each other, to see who could capture the end goal fastest.

Disclaimer: I've never played Foxhole

Baker looks like the aftermath of a war where both sides lost and collapsed and some soldiers from both sides are still trying to fight a war long lost by both sides.

[dozendonut]

the shards break the game. We were sold a giant persistent war, bought the game, then tossed on a shard.

[hughy]

they merged the shards, there's only one shard now. Play it. I started a week ago and im loving it.

[Roulettesoad]

Thanks for pointing this out, something that I love from Foxhole is the massive war with 120 vs 120 players in a single region, lately most regions are half empty in Able, Baker and Charlie, a already low global population after 1.0 being spread between 3 shards is not good for anyone. I hope devs adress this asap

[frogsshadow]

Baker is like if an apocalypse happened but the sides still kinda want to fight

[jamesturpin]

As a new player i found this game hard to get into. Im a solo player looking for a fun game that would take more thinking if tactics and logistic. Instead i ended up trying to help with logistics to get the hang of things to get told to get out of the area. So i went to the front lines just to find out that we were losing a bunch of areas. Just myself and 5 guys defending an town with light infantry weapons against tanks and IDF. When i suggest a plan to lure the armor into a kill box to be told that I'm the lowest ranking guy on there and they already have plenty of guys that outrank me. And once again upon asking why we couldn't get any anti armor weapons i was told that they were focusing resources in another area. Whoever "they" were ended up sacrificing the better half of 4 hexes in order to gain 1 which meant as a player i spent 6 hours fighting for an area with not enough resources to do the job, with toxic leadership, and still lost the objective. Which to be fair is very realistic to my time in the army, if that's what they're going for, but it's by no means fun.

Gaming has that unique bittersweet potential to be lighting in a bottle once, with tons of great moments, and then also smashing its potential on the rocks immediately after for weird and unrelated reasons.

[nahx]

I remember when Foxhole first came out and it was literally just one map. Three servers all with a different map and the "wars" weren't wars they were just a battle map and one side evenually over the course of say 8 or 9 hours won. I used to love being a Quartermaster just chilling at the one factory our side had and just waiting for the two logi guys to bring me things and transport guns literally just down the road.
It's crazy to see how far the game has come.

[Siddingsby]

It's a bit complicated to explain, but the devs altered the gameplay to suit big groups of people playing in clans at the expense of "solo" players. They did this because the Clanners were complaining about random players using up resources and clogging up regions of the game (you need to join a queue to enter an adjacent region if there's too many players logged on). But it turns out that even though Clanbabbies were the loudest they were just a minority after-all and many non-clan players have left because the game isn't fun anymore.

[absolut]

Dead shards are what happens when you over complicate the logistics system to the point where you have to have a large clan to support a base. Initially i was thrilled for 1.0 (4k hours played off and on since pre world conquest and had the pleasure of taking port of rime in 59). For example, RPG jeeps, previously 25 rmats and shells. Easy enough to collect the rss in an hour and go enjoy. Now you need an entire logistical facility with mats you have to make from said facility all the while if you leave the facility sit for 12 hours it will be decayed. Its made solo players (large portion of the pop) become basically second class players begging for clans hand no longer my foxhole

[NainakaiAyita]

I’m one of the new players that joined when 1.0 launched. I will admit the magic I looked for was nowhere to find from my perspective. My friends told me to “do logistics!” It was fun for a few days. But didn’t feel like it lead to anything. And I never met anyone chill to play with. I grew bored fast.

[JohnnyRico]

To potential new players: Please don't let this video dissuade you from trying the game. The issue of having multiple shards was a big issue when 1.0 dropped a while ago, but as of March 2024, we're back to just one shard. The popularity of this video has likely brought more players into the game, but it's a clickbait title for an old issue that's no longer present in the game. The game has other problems, but it's definitely worth a try.

[boyvip]

I joined the game when 1.0 got released and I've been playing on Baker only. I remembered joining Baker in war 25 people were dying left and right, logi towns were filled with people and it was so fun. Now it's just a barren wasteland and people doing satchelympics
