I listen to these videos in the shower like a Vietnam war soldier listening to the radio.

Hi, current solo Warden player here. I have been off and on, getting back into foxhole the last 2 wars. War 116, definite population decrease from prior wars. War 117 currently, we have taken back ground in Stonecradle and Farranac from when I have been on since the war started. I think population is there, and I agree with you, it's a lot of new players. But one monkey brain maybe not smart to push back Colonials. Many monkey brains work together, and great things happen. Cheers to a great video Robert!

Met a new player 3 days ago. Taught him bout the shooting mechanics that he was struggling with and we've made a squad so we can play together. I also find it funny that I've only been playing for 3 months and I'm already teaching new players what I know. XD
@Dougi233
So what I am hearing is this is a great time to mass recruit and train as a warden.
@walkerhumphrey181
Warden partisan here. I've been on break for a while due to work, and I just learned about the economy 5x resource changes. If I come back to my ambushes being worth a fraction of the resources I could have generated in the time it takes to set them up, I might just go on partisan strike
@GrasslandsStudio
MEANWHILE so many GREAT players just completely drove off the collies in 3 different hexes and changed the war in 30 hours. I want to thank everyone who has pushed through when everything looked bleak! It’s been tough but we’re going strong
@tiger_senpai4611
as a warden, i guaranty you that our factions has been weakened lately... so much newbies or maybe lack of vets (wich might have joined collies)
@wildcat1998able
I like how I listen/watch to this like a Warden on active duty/on break, it's like a news outlet. I want to see a network of War Correspondents in various areas of the war. ❤
@RikkiNakesone
When I want to play more foxhole but i'm not very social, nor very logistically smart. So i just go to a frontline with a single rifle and clip. Will always choose warden...

My take on the Warden Faction and this is my personal opinion. What the Warden Faction experiences is what i believe the Colonial Faction experienced last year. Wardens where winning most wars and Colonial veteran factions slowly stopped playing. Devman gradually buffed the Collie faction more to the point where the Spatha has the quality of a Warden Tank while retaining its cheap spam bonus. Suddenly, Wardens were facing double and triple vetted Spathas that could only be countered by the Noble Widow. This is when the Veteran clans on the Warden side decided to play less. Then a new update came out and the Warden Faction early war stage had all its enjoyment sucked out. Boma is still a fucking pain to deal with, the HAC was made obsolete due to the ATAC becoming a standard AC for the Colonials without a proper counter combined with the weather update just made most Veterans stop playing. Combine that with the atrocious non existent pop balance where the invasion mechanic can be abused to its maximum effect, then it will become a one sided game. Thing is, the Devs have no idea how to tweak the game, they do not listen to both sides of the game and they just follow their gut feeling. Using Vision as a guide to develop the game with an emphasis on the logistics and engineering, but then saying it is a sandbox game when players exploit glitches and bugs that leads to unfun situations that either gets resolved a few wars later or don't get resolved at all. I wouldn't say that the Warden Faction is on strike, it just lacks veteran players that are tired to see their planning, hard work and organization wiped away in a single night. And the new players don't know how to fight veteran players, so they get wiped away the moment they respawn.

Last war was brutal to be a Warden for. Day one I logged in and saw that Collies were on population warning already. Then, yes it was mostly low ranks. I did what I could to train up new people at every opportunity, run public logi, and join a gun line whenever I could. I think my favorite moment was when I drove my logi truck past a bunch a new players standing beside idle 120mm guns who called out "Hey! You've got rank, these guns look important but we don't know what to do with them" so I lead an impromptu arty op.
@ukaszanioowski9722
3:10 - just do a planetside2 and add a mercenary faction, which's players and clans can only consist of 'experienced' players, and will be on the side with the least amount of players online
@drillboyjenkins5740
Mfw 117 currently looks like Wardens will make this war long, not short ;)
@nosferatu1745
With over 3k hours in planetside2, the only tool that game had for ever to fix pop balance was a LONG A$$ Q' for the main continent, while a 2nd continent (map) is going on with small fight where the skilled players accert dominance on casuals. To avoid this, people used to join whatever faction was the least full or use their NSO character that its a robot that join the least full faction at any point in time.
@madness3369
Used to play foxhole. Sadly, way too many bad apples in the clans that will absolutely hoard things like tanks and artillery cannons for no reason. When a squad from a clan basically muscled their way in and intercepted an entire 120mm train shipment to fire only 1 cannon when the ad-hoc company me and others had formed had about 3-4. Basically ended with us trying to get 1 box of 120mm from these dudes only to get griefed with poison gas and have our cannons basically stolen from us. Reported it, but the toxic players falsely reported me so I ended up being the one to get action taken against me (despite basically little to no wrongdoing and no team killing). Love the game, and the vast majority of people including the clans are some of the coolest guys out there, but I lost motivation to continue playing really quick.
@64bitrobot
I've been trapped myself in Conveyer Belts 2 aka satisfactory. I suspect a lot of logi players are.
@patrickismumbojumbo8645
Heeey CG member here, I’m glad you found our Reddit post and using the picture lol. Thanks for covering this matter! And have a great day!
@kairosDM666
I'm taking a semi-break right now. I joined in war 116 (thanks robert), and I loved the euro truck simulator gameplay. This war I tried flatbeds and specially freighters and those are mega fun too!!. Until I got 100% burnout from public stockpile assembly times. It seems to be a clan only mechanic for the private stockpiles time in comparison. Right now I went back to truck and some flatbed logi in rime port (warden side, sorry robert hehe), where the time retrieving crates is bearable, but I'm not touching naval stuff unless that issue is looked, I even made a reddit post with a system based in rank for the public assembly times to still demotivate alts. I actually have a lot of fun in the tresury stealing an artillery piece in a random truck that nobody was even using, gathering whatever shells I manage to find in facilities around and serving as a spotter for a couple of hours with other 3 randoms. Super fun, we actually destroyed a bunker base and hurt a lot the armored cars advance (and commited a war crime shelling like 10 of our own, spotting is kinda hard). But yeah, this war seems kinda like another L and I look forward for 118
@johnboyne1
The biggest advice i can give to frontline fighters don't aim directly at your enemy aim behind them you got 3x more chance of your bullets actually hitting them, same thing if someone is on the floor if you aim directly at them 7/8 of you bullets will go over they head where if you aim right infront of them ur bullet will hit the floor and finish them, i have been playing since war 3 or 4 i can't remember, don't get disheartened by learning things i been playing for a long time and i still don't know half the mechanics of some stuff
