UPDATED INFO! Foxhole’s Massive 24/7 Wars are Running Out of Soldiers Foxhole Drama War 107

During this video I talk about the information that needs to be updated from Moi's biggest Foxhole video. We cover things that have changed so new players have a better idea what Foxhole is about and Foxhole's current state.

My first introduction to the game was Moidawg's War 83 series. It really piqued my interest and I wanted to see if a year later, there was still interest in the game. However, after watching his dead game video, I was super bummed because I knew it would be a game I would enjoy, even casually. It's wonderful to see you make this video because I was one of those people who assumed everything he said was still being experienced to this day and the game was smoldering out of existence. I heard that a new war just started and honestly, this video has pushed me over the brink, I will be buying Foxhole today!!

I was originally introduced to foxhole because of your logistics videos, and I actually have never watched Moidog's video.
Thanks a bunch, I can't imagine how many people will think twice about that video and perhaps get the game!

My first contact with Foxhole was Jonathan Ferguson’s React to Foxhole, then YouTube recommended me MoiDawg’s foxhole videos. This was in November-December 2022 when Charlie Shard was still present and MoiDawg made be really hesitant joining the game until for the start of WC99.

I bought the game last night and it was honestly a solid experience. Did a fair bit of time as logi and infantry at The Fingers, and there were tons of people and no server issues at all. We were racking up 2k casualties per hour. Getting rushed by a swarm of people with nothing but nades is terrifying.

You hit the nail on the head with the jab at Path of Exile's servers. As a former 3k hour Path of Exile enjoyer, my friends and I were pleasantly surprised if we went a half hour without disconnecting on season launch, and happier still if the queue to re-enter was less than 10 minutes and didn't kick us out of queue while we were about to get in. Shit is madness. Tons of games are bad on update launches but they always get better after the first day or so

I originally discovered Foxhole though Moidawg’s other video talking about the logi strike from over a year ago. I eventually found out it was outdated, there was no more strike, got the game and clocked 1200 hours so far.

I don’t mind Moidawg keeping this video and the logi strike video up because I think a lot of people discover the game that way. However, not updating the videos informing people it’s no longer an issue is likely turning a lot of people off from the game because they think the game is bad or dead.

I've had the game in the library since 2018 but forgot about it and only started last year during 1.0 release after coming across MoiDawgs WC83 series. Foxhole is one of the best multiplayer games I've played, can't wait for the next update and appreciate what you do for the community! Hope this video gets the traction it deserves

Moi: "This game will be dead soon"
also Moi: *stops playing*

My introduction to foxhole was in 2017 the Shermaniter video.

“The game is dead”

Warden: waiting in 40 player queue: “wtf are you talking about”

[alexandramoodie]

My first introduction to Foxhole wasn’t the top video, but it was the video below that video, but I did watch that video before I first played Foxtel. I watched multiple times.

Hello its me again! I commented on a video a couple days ago. I watched his video with my multi hour tutorial session. Took the jump and got it. I was relived to see only 1 shard was active. Joines the game 30 minutes before War 107 kicked off and was met with a 350 players ahaid of me. 10 minutes later I was in! We are only 3 days into it but player count seens pretty good in the logi zones. Lots of factories and bases poping up when I drive around getting resorcses. So its good to make an updated video!

[neutralasswitz]

I'll get the game as soon as I can

[NeoECCHI]

i started playing a few days ago and the game was far from dead 5k players online and was part of a huge battle most players in a single spot out of any game ive played

[spartanthingy]

I actually got introduced to foxhole through a friend that wanted to try the game and when i looked it up on youtube moidawgs video was the first I saw. I didnt think much about it, cause I still wanted to try the game. Glad I did because the game is still populated enough for able to work, And it really is a fun game.

[ISawABear]

Bruh trust me, a ramdom commenter in your channel, the game is dead.

/S

[Zackreaver]

the thing is, that video was extremely relevant when it was put up. This game had 3 shards and we had 11k players.

And at the time of the video, we had 2 shards and the player count was at 3k. Once we got down to 1 shard there was an average of 1k-2k players.

And this game is excessively dependant on constant player population. The dev's have implemented features into the game that requires numbers to get anything done. The big thing is provisional garrison requires 10 people to activate AI at new bases, and you don't get permanent ai until at least 18 hours pass.

That combined with a server that had so few people that an entire region was taken by 2 people, is showing the extreme of something that is happening on a relatively smaller scale.

The game does not have features to account for low populations, and that's where things are falling apart.

The meta is currently to play at the time when players are offline to destroy defenses without defenders. So that video isn't inaccurate, it's just not as extreme on the ONLY remaining shard.

If anything, moi should do a followup and explain the other harder to notice problems the game have at the moment, the stuff people are less likely to notice but still relevant.

New player groups with less than 10 people are punished for attempting to make a supply their own base unless they build it at the "popular" spot, and logistics is a constant grind on transportation that usually ends up being done by 1 guy.

i can do my part to help you in your quest. bless the algorithm gods!

I believe the first time I saw Foxhole content was one of MoiDawg's videos, not the one you're talking about. Looked like a fun game and I was hoping to get my friend group on it to finally have something we can play together again. However, in my research I was bound to watch "that" foxhole video and started wondering if it was really worth it. Reddit quickly told me the video was outdated (as I had expected) so I went and checked Twitch to get some live gameplay. The game still looks quite fun but like a massive time commitment and seeing how I couldn't get my friends' interest I didn't want to hop in solo. Still occasionally watching twitch and your yotube videos to keep me updated and get a better feel for it. Maybe I'll pull the trigger for war 109 or 110.

Keep up the good work!
