In my first week playing Foxhole as a Warden, I only did logi moving supplies to the front, once I completed my delivery I was returning to my truck a guy in a tank with the most Texan accent approached me and yelled at me to get in the gunner seat. I replied that I didn't know how to use the tank and he replied "you will learn right now son get in the fking tank" I got in because I thought he was some superior xd I felt like the kid from Fury
lol! That's amazing! Thanks for sharing that! And see that was probably much better than saying something like "hey noob get in the tank and learn" or something more gamer like ya know? I love those type of people.
This is also how I got recruited into a regiment on the colonials side! Some random guy drove up in a tank yelling at me "GET IN I NEED A GUNNER RIGHT NOW!" I just said "But I only have like 10 hours idk what I'm doingg" his response "JUST GET THE F*CK IN AND YOU'LL LEARN AS WE GO!" Now I'm in an regiment that specializes in armored and mechanized combat :D

Larping is one factor of many to remain a high motivation and to have fun. My first Larp encounter in this game was when a Collie Medic from Red Cross healed a Warden Comrade. We quickly had 4 Warden Soldiers defending the Collie Medic not to get shot, because he was constantly healing Wardens as well. That was a very intense moment in War 115
@@RobertLovesGames We even had Warden soldiers who were eager to kill the Collie Medic and we constantly had to stop them several times just to save the Collie and bring him back to his comrades.
started about a week ago and this was my experience... Played frontline for my first 20 or so hours and loved it but felt i needed a change so i decided to try logi, i pull up to get some scrap at callums cape and the first guy i talk to says in a hardened coal miner who has been smoking since births voice "First time eh?" i say "yeah im new could you teach me a few things?" he replies with a laugh and says "listen here son, all you gotta do is hate those collie bastards and the rest is easy" Best bit of roleplay i have seen and is the reason i now LOVE foxhole
lol I love that! Thanks for sharing that! And also welcome to Foxhole! Feel free to DM me on discord if you ever have any questions or need help with anything!
Best pro-tip -- do a search in your Windows menu for MOUSE - open it, click ADVANCED SETTINGS. Turn on MOUSE CLICK LOCK. Set it to 'long' -- then in game, when you hold your LMB down for 5 seconds or more, it will stay down until you click again. So building, hammering, digging, repairing, scrooping, swinging a sledgehammer, using a harvestor -- ALL OF THIS is impacted by Click Lock. You're welcome. o7
Hey that's me near the end! :D I had to join that guy scrooping, but it was straight back to the fight after that interaction hahaha Roleplay (when it doesn't hinder gameplay) is great. I was once hanging around in Terminus and then heard a lot of water splashing noises. Thinking that a large ship returning from battle and was bailing water, I ran there immediately. No. There was no large boat. It was 4 guys deciding to give logi trucks car washes, and a bunch of logi trucks even stopped and said "wash my car too" I laughed my butt off HAHAHA
That Briton guy who is always screaming? One of my favorite players. Morale is so underrated in Foxhole, fronts with RPers do better because nobody wants to leave, everyone wants to stick with the team and the yelling guy, even if they have to put the fun rifle away to take out defenses.
The veyr first night I got on foxhole (I played as a colonial), was like day 16 or 17 of the current war 117. Spawned in Farranac coast and got led into a serie of suicidal bayonet charges against the Tera Relic Base by some brazilian dude with a very strong accent saying the most ludicrous insults to get us motivated at being mowed down by warden machineguns. It was hell of a fun.
3:02 I feel like a lot of people nowadays (not talking about game companies) begin to forget that the reason we play videogames is to have fun, as long as it doesn't get in the way of other people
Exactly! I feel like there are some Foxhole players out there that get really upset if someone does slightly wrong or something that is not meta. Foxhole is one of the best games to kind of mess around in and have fun. Again as long as you are not directly getting in the way of those that are trying to play serious.
I always enjoy rp when I’m wounded or charging because there’s nothing else to say except “HOLY GUACAMOLE MY WHOLE LEG BE GONE” Or (my favorite when wardens say “collie go home”) “I AINT GOIN HOME TILL MOMMY’S APPLE PIE IS BAKED, AND ITS NOT EVEN IN THE OVEN!”
As someone who's been roleplaying as a reporter since 2018, I can easily say, with only one or two minor exceptions, every person I've interviewed has been all-in on the schtick. They get it almost immediately, and are more than willing to completely recount their experience or bring me along their objective. The approachability of the common player on the battlefield is why I consider Foxhole one of the best MMO experiences out there. 4:50 This was my number one concern when starting the PressCorps, but as long people stick to Robert's points on common decency, they're likely going to get a positive response eventually. The point about ensuring the mic volume is at a good level is really important. I've found most people actually like players who play music, and the people who play really, really loud music as a meme, actually think they're playing it at a decent level. Three separate times, I've told people "hey your music is actually too loud to the point where we can't understand what you're playing," and they corrected it.
I love music players but found loud ones to be very annoying, and id never thought to just approach and inform them to turn it down, as they might not realize. so il be sure to do that now honestly.
@@ungabunga7879 Yeah! I'm sure a number of them are legit trolls, but back when I tried to do it, I could never tell the actual output except through trial and error. That informed me how others probably didn't know either.
That's awesome to hear! And agreed these kind of experiences are what really makes Foxhole a great game. And the music larpers lol! They could have their own video based on them ha. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
I dont know. Most people I know, including myself, immediately mute their mic the second we start hearing music. Its one thing if were in the backline scrooping, but if its in the frontline and I cant hear other people I have to assume they do it on purpose.
@@NickFallap That's fair, and THANK YOU for just muting them immediately instead of getting mad and arguing with them for five minutes straight at town base (a very common true story).
Had the most fun I’ve had a couple nights ago. RP Medic up in Callahans passage as we were pushing northward. Buddied up with a grenadier who kept saying “Revive me doc, I gotta shoot more of that green gassssss”
i love the "light" roleplay it gives the game an element of fun and game-ness that lets you know your playing with people here to have fun. it adds some flare to the game and why Foxhole is my favorite MMO
One time around war 98 or so we sent a white whale on a tap op to draw off colonial QRF and buy time for the other guys to blow a bridge or something. We got the tap, they destroyed the white whale eventually and it was a fight to the end with whatever men and supplies we had left. I was a medic and was larping accidentally Heroic rescues, fatalistic determination, encouragement to keep fighting and hold out as long as possible. I finally went down as the only medic with plasma left, so another medic couldn’t revive me. “It’s ok, don’t worry about me I’ll be fine, just grab my supplies, hold out as long as possible, the men need you.” Completely straight faced as tactical advice.
I completely agree role-playing adds another aspect or depth to foxhole and whenever I get the game, I would really love to start role-playing or even just striking up a conversation on the front.❤❤❤
Reminds me of when I was doing logi to a frontline base. 2 friendlies were blocking the bridge. They stopped me, told me to show papers, if my favorite color was green or blue etc. For me it was a fun experience, but I can imagine how this could frustrate some more serious players. In that scenario it would probably be +2 roadkill. Either way I appreciate any player who adds some life to this gameworld through their roleplaying even if its sometimes slightly disruptive or makes everything move slightly less efficiently.
lol love it! And yea like I said there is a time and a place for this kind of stuff. But I also appreciate like you said what it adds to the game. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts on this!
lol! I can't remember what war it was but I was little salty when I was Colonial and we were losing hard and The Fingers gang just kept larping. I think it was one of the first wars they came about.
Agreed! I do a mix. I probably lean more towards serious playing most of the time but when there are others around doing good roleplay I will join them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
[Red Cross] ✚Vedagi✚ here.... The Foxhole Red Cross is not exactly a larp group, since we are an actual PR project of the ICRC. But calling us "role-play" isn't all wrong either. I want to share a few stories that happened just thanks to me wearing that tag. The first story is in the damn hell called Scurvyshire: Every war there is a massacre, in one war, i was running somewhere at night, having no idea where the damn front was again! (haha). And then I ran into a Colie (since I was Warden), and he seemed alone in the destroyed T2 bunker piece, so I hopped there with him, gave him a quick heal, and then we started to talk and talk until a Spatha showed up. Instead of going on, they stopped, and for 5 minutes they (in a fun way) "argued" over whether the Spatha would shoot me or not. The Colie stood between me and the Spatha with just his trusted Argenti raised against his own faction tank, while the tank was aiming at him with its barrel. In the end, the tank shot and killed him, and I ran away to safety. To this day, I still remember that guy - I never saw him again... o7 Then I have a lot of minor ones... For example, making a truce in bridge fights. I remember one quick story: I was in Allod's Bight, and the battle was raging on for the Relic. I rushed into no man's land and met some Colie there - I don’t remember if I revived him or what, but we talked. Then another Warden came, then another Colie… again and again, until there was a bunch of us just chilling there, talking, and having fun. After 15 minutes or so, we decided to go back to our own lines. Another one I remember, and someone could actually mention in the comments here from what I read: it was a good few wars ago in Callahans Passage. We were pushing into the Town when I got left behind. Before I was able to reach our lines, the other faction was everywhere, and since I realized they had next to no medics, so i stayed. A guard formed around me and protected me until I died iirc. This is not a single incident tho, it happen multiple times, that a guard forms around me, which is always lovely to see and warms me :) I have many such stories - some smaller, some bigger, most forgotten by time. The FRC actually has a "Sunhaven Guard" (this is not a recruitment Rob haha), who are people whose job is to protect Red Cross medics. They are a separate group from the FRC, with their own tag, ranks, etc.
I always try to bring a little role-playing in when I play and gradually increase throughout my time playing. If I'm in some huge combat scenario lots of role-playing but more laid-back quiet moments it can disappear or at least shrink. Of course it really depends on my mood and state of the war as it affects me pretty bad. It's hard to put on a role when we've been losing non-stop and most of those I'm playing with don't know what they are doing so I have to take on a leadership role
Honestly I love roleplayers. My favorite thing about foxhole is the interactions with others. When I come across roleplayers it makes the gun much more funny
I'm split between people who LARP. Like, yeah I get it. People want to add another dynamic to the game. I'm all for that. But when, let's say, I'm solo loading MULTIPLE tanks to take via ship to another hex when the seaport is down (War 112 Fingers), don't stop to try that character stuff, don't say "Oh you're parked wrong" and don't touch my tanks trying to male the area "neater". I will open fire after warning you twice. Read the room. If you want to get in on some of the action, then let's go! Also, for those that haven't served in any military that want to learn certain phrasing and jargon. There's SEVERAL actual veterans, like myself, that served in some capacity. Most of us don't really speak the military linguo as to make it easier on our civilian counterparts. But whenever there's someone on the front asking "What do you mean sector of fire and covering the defilade?", it's always cool to explain it in a manner that makes sense for not just the one person asking, but everyone else around us. Overall, LARP if you want to, just please be courteous and ensure you know the reading of the room so it doesn't hinder people too much
Aww robert you throwing shade on the fingers! 2:48 seems given the 2 fronts losing fingers opened up all the way to terminus, I think collies will respect it more going forward (or not lol)
lol! Oh you noticed that...ha! This is one of the first wars where naval has actually done some good damage to another faction in my opinion. There has been some other wars with good navy but I think on much smaller scale.
@RobertLovesGames yeah i love that, the factions Are so different in the privat Dialog.. the small "brutal" war storys are for me my fav. Part of this game
You can do both, being effective and have fun roleplayin. ... so do both, subtile RP is still possible and adds fun. Even if its just muffled screaming for a medic, yelling commands, being immersed and immerse others to spread and recieve more fun and have an overall enjoyable experience.
I think honestly the only times I have roleplayed as logi is whenever there's a traffic jam of sorts or there was this one time in War 115 or 116 I believe. where I got out of my logi truck after delivering supplies and converse with this guy talking about this statue near the frontline. Made up lore for it and everything. Thats was pretty cool. Usually if I RP, its as a Medic.
I love the role play, Makes the game so much more fun, and some of it is so funny! I also see it move the front in so many ways, I have literelly just followed some dudes around roleplaying just to see what they do and say next. On a serious note, I believe that roleplaying (especially on the front) is inportant as it reminds people what foxhole really is... a freakin game! And it always helps cut the tension. If you dont dig the role play then thats ok too. Just dont opress people who want (or dont want), mute button is a tool that the devs have given us if you really feel that strongly about it. In my humble opinion
Heyo Robert! CG member here! I’m both baffled and thankful that you gave us a shout out here, let us know if you ever want to collaborate for anything as we’ve got streamers who could give you some footage if you’d like! And also, if you’d like to join our server we can send you some stuff for the shaboingery we’ve gotten up to before XD Have a great day! Invicta Krieg, the emperor protects!
For me, larping only really works if you fully commit to it and don't break the act, and when you and others can do that larping/roleplaying can be insanely fun. I remember when I first started playing (War 94? About 2 months after Inferno came out), I was a Collie and dropped into a hilly map (Reaching Trail I think?) and I ran into 2 other guys with an Abandoned Bardiche. We got it refueled, got like a dozen rounds and went for the front. We started fighting 3 Cruiser Tanks, and in the middle of the fight a major snowstorm hit, we couldn't see shit and thats when the larp truly started. The best way I could describe it was that it was the voicelines from GHPC and Fury combined, we were able to disable 1, knocked out another which we were able to capture and the 3rd we knocked out completely. One of the reasons why I think the larp worked really well then was because it wasn't us being 'pretend terrified', **we were legitimately scared shitless**. Fighting 3 enemy tanks while completely alone, in the middle of the snowstorm/blizzard and as it was still somewhat daytime we couldn't see the tanks clearly but we also couldn't see the headlights as it wasn't dark enough which made it feel a bit like a horror game.
I know i'm late but i'm a medic and warden main. light roleplay by giving the combat boys little health tips keeps me from going insane from hearing "MEDIC" for the billionth time
I think the naval hexes are important, hence the current war situation... Not sure calling out the Fingers members as "role players" helps the faction. We held down a logistic town and put pressure on Tempest Island, which is a victory point. Saying the islands dont matter frustrates those who help with GB's and holding down a lane.
Our five-men logi squad roleplays as a group of technicians, with the most possible use of nonsense workshop- and corporate lingo. Also, we are strong advocates of the addition of ,,pack of smoke" and ,,rubbish coffee" items, which after their use would increase the working speed of cranes, harvesters, etc. while operating them.
Second day I played foxhole, I deployed at Bucklers sound for a major defensive, I was randomly called up by a Major at spawn telling everyone to pick up satchels. We followed ranking honour and listened. This led to countless suicide charges on the townhall, was really fun RP'Ing with those guys, hope I find them again soon in the war
That sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing that! I had similar experience when I first started playing where higher rank gathered all the new ranks on the front and led us to where the enemies were and taught us how to play in sort of a roleplay fashion.
You should play the game to have fun first. Feeling frustrated brcause of always dying and failing? Take a breather, go get some food or do some exercise, whatever you like to do.
For sure! There are some people out there unfortunately that play Foxhole just to "win" and only want to play serious. Which I respect. Again everyone has their own playstyle. But they shouldn't ever be getting mad at people roleplaying and vice versa roleplayers shouldn't be getting in the way or harming those trying to be serious. But yes if you are getting frustrated with the game definitely go touch some grass or go for run :D Thanks for your thoughts on this!
The only thing keeping me back from unleashing my true inner leader and my larp goblin is cause I'd rather not wake up the family, my neighbours, and the people across the fcking water.
@@RobertLovesGames I dont think they can hear it over the explosions XD but my normal voice will still do though. sadly their is nothing more effective then screaming: LETS DO A MAMMON RUSH, FOR THE BOYS! To get a lot of people to suicide charge enemy static defenses in the open or in cities, especially in early war now
I do backline logi until I get called for navy missions. That happened so frequently that I just embraced the navy life. So my character uses navy lingo while on land and has an unhealthy obsession with artillery shells.
I'd even go as far as to say that roleplaying can be deciding for the course of a war. For many it's what they find most enjoyable in the game, and without them there would be definite manpower shortages
In every game I play, roleplay is a factor that pops up more often than not. But it has to tie heavily to what you are doing for it to be truly enjoyable. There's no point pretending to be an officer if your in game rank is too low and you know nothing about the higher end of game strategies. I feel often times people say its disruptive because they aren't involved, but in reality we are all roleplaying all the time. If you do logistics, you are roleplaying that role. You receive orders over maps and radio, and use that information to farm and produce supplies to ferry forwards, so why not throw in some harmless dialogue pertaining to what you are already doing non-verbally. If you tank, you are roleplaying a tanker. A commander needs to keep a good line of communication with his driver, gunner, and other tank commanders. It is in no way hard to add some vigor and urgency to your work, considering you already have your feelings over trying to win the fight. If you're just an infantryman, you're always calling out enemy positions anyway. You use the levelling system in game by default to know who to listen to, as those with higher ranks are much more knowledgeable than you. So why not throw in a simple "yes sir" or "great idea/job (rank)", it harms nobody and helps players both new and old feel like they are making a difference in the continuity of the game. Roleplay in all my experiences in all games, is not ever a harmful thing. Trolls and Greifers can pass their stuff off as RP to get out of trouble, but its obvious they aren't RPing and it never works. As long as you are respectful to the people around you, bad things wont come from slapping in a little bit of immersion into the game
The extent of my role-playing is "I'll get you out of here brötherrrrrrr" Or if i trade with the enemy ill say "Dammit, this war claimed the both of us brother.. We finally found peace together in death"
Pity some collies insult us wardens instead of joking or giving us a funny but not outright insult when we interact on the battlefield. Edit: but I have had very fun interactions with collies 😊
Screaming “For Callahan, for the Emperor” with every charge is all i need tbh. Downed a Collie and he said “Callahan is the false prophet” and I responded with “No he isn’t >:(“
I've only played a little bit of the game but I find I enjoy some "light" or "contextual" roleplay. You could still be working to do the optimal thing but RP a bit while doing so.
Biggest problem is, and will always be, people mistaking 'yelling in a silly voice' for roleplaying. You are not 'playing a role' by screaming into your mic for your entire death timer, or yelling foolishness in an accent, your trolling, and actively discouraging other people from enjoying the single best part of foxhole, the voice chat in a big cqb clusterfuck.
I recall performing a serious roleplay by acting as a salty medical sergeant. I'd bandage people back up, play up medical malpractice and ignorance, until i met a new russian player who accidentally bayonetted me after i stitched him back together. I spawned back at base and decided to put on my smokey bear. I hunted that borcht guzzlin', vodka breathing, fish monger down and made him take over my former medic role by forbidding him from taking lives in my best impression as a drill sergeant. Theough his broken english, and laughs, he did and saved a lot of lives at The Steel Road.
Usually when I role play it’s to tell whoever is near me to tell my wife…I cheated on her with her sisters. Or to ask to be placed next to an oak tree. Have to say, even you collies obliged me with that one
9:10 WHAT UNIFORM IS THAT. I can't find it anywhere and Im not talking about the officer uniform or the guy in the armored uniform or the guys in the normal uniforms.
Hey i was wondering if you had any experience on the western hexes. It felt like we had less vets and less time operation gameplay compared to the eatern hexes
When everyone roleplays the destruction and extermination of the other side everyone has a laugh. But when I roleplay about the same thing in my own way, I'm labelled the weirdo extremist. >:(
Roleplay makes this game feel alive, and I like that there are personalities. But the only one time (many times) that I freaking hate roleplay is when they use music to boost morale or they use chill music. Like, dude, stop it. It's good to boost morale, but operations such as tank operations that require communication will affect their effectiveness to respond to any situation because they can't hear their driver/gunner/commander.
I think "roleplaying" is fun AND effective when done in the context of what is going on -- but like you said, if you're doing Island LARP ... that's really a waste. But if youre RPin'g as some medic on the front lines saying "hold on bud Ill patch you up" and the guy is talking about "tell my wife I love her" - that's a lot of fun.
Regarding logi role players, I once came across a coordinated trench digging group that was singing the 7 dwarves “Hi hoooooo” song nonstop 😂 people telling them to shut up or joining them in the song
"im not going to tell you how to play the game" proceeds to tell players how to play the game; "don't roleplay if others don't appreciate it, by picking up on their social queues" as much as I appreciate and enjoy your videos, this was a BAD and uninvited take.
I think you just took it the wrong way. I was stating that if you are trying to roleplay with someone else and they don't want any of it then maybe stop trying to roleplay with them. Maybe I didn't explain it well enough. And most of what I say is just my opinion so you do you.
The thing ive come to learn is that "LARP" has become a buzz word. Basically, anything that isnt what you do is LARP. Navy? SHT? Facilitys? All LARP to people who dont do them.
if you haven't woken your entire family at 3 in the morning by screaming "MEDIC!!!!!!" you aren't playing foxhole right
lol! Love it!
Spot on
Real
My mother looked at me with concerned eyes when I constantly yelled, "SHOOT THE MEDICS FIRST!" 😅

I guess it is not a war crime if the Geneva Convention does not exist in the game story. 😅

As someone who's been roleplaying as a reporter since 2018, I can easily say, with only one or two minor exceptions, every person I've interviewed has been all-in on the schtick. They get it almost immediately, and are more than willing to completely recount their experience or bring me along their objective. The approachability of the common player on the battlefield is why I consider Foxhole one of the best MMO experiences out there.
4:50 This was my number one concern when starting the PressCorps, but as long people stick to Robert's points on common decency, they're likely going to get a positive response eventually. The point about ensuring the mic volume is at a good level is really important. I've found most people actually like players who play music, and the people who play really, really loud music as a meme, actually think they're playing it at a decent level. Three separate times, I've told people "hey your music is actually too loud to the point where we can't understand what you're playing," and they corrected it.
I love music players but found loud ones to be very annoying, and id never thought to just approach and inform them to turn it down, as they might not realize. so il be sure to do that now honestly.
@@ungabunga7879 Yeah! I'm sure a number of them are legit trolls, but back when I tried to do it, I could never tell the actual output except through trial and error. That informed me how others probably didn't know either.
That's awesome to hear! And agreed these kind of experiences are what really makes Foxhole a great game.
And the music larpers lol! They could have their own video based on them ha. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
I dont know. Most people I know, including myself, immediately mute their mic the second we start hearing music. Its one thing if were in the backline scrooping, but if its in the frontline and I cant hear other people I have to assume they do it on purpose.
@@NickFallap That's fair, and THANK YOU for just muting them immediately instead of getting mad and arguing with them for five minutes straight at town base (a very common true story).
Had the most fun I’ve had a couple nights ago. RP Medic up in Callahans passage as we were pushing northward. Buddied up with a grenadier who kept saying “Revive me doc, I gotta shoot more of that green gassssss”
lol I love that! Thanks for sharing that!
Larp is fucking amazing
Agreed!
Good opinion detected, existence tolerated.
i love the "light" roleplay it gives the game an element of fun and game-ness that lets you know your playing with people here to have fun. it adds some flare to the game and why Foxhole is my favorite MMO
Same! Well said! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
One time around war 98 or so we sent a white whale on a tap op to draw off colonial QRF and buy time for the other guys to blow a bridge or something. We got the tap, they destroyed the white whale eventually and it was a fight to the end with whatever men and supplies we had left. I was a medic and was larping accidentally Heroic rescues, fatalistic determination, encouragement to keep fighting and hold out as long as possible. I finally went down as the only medic with plasma left, so another medic couldn’t revive me. “It’s ok, don’t worry about me I’ll be fine, just grab my supplies, hold out as long as possible, the men need you.” Completely straight faced as tactical advice.
lol I love that! This kind of stuff really adds the immersion to the battlefield. Thanks for sharing that!
I was once minding my own business scrooping in the back line and a guy on a bicycle came and delivered me “mail”. It made my day!
lol that is awesome! Would be so cool if we had mail in this game :D
2:00 You can hear The Ambiguous Briton a mile away, he's so great
I love it! Will always follow him wherever he goes!
I completely agree role-playing adds another aspect or depth to foxhole and whenever I get the game, I would really love to start role-playing or even just striking up a conversation on the front.❤❤❤
It really does! You should do it! I would say a lot of players are really receptive to it. Especially if it's not messing up actual gameplay.
Reminds me of when I was doing logi to a frontline base. 2 friendlies were blocking the bridge. They stopped me, told me to show papers, if my favorite color was green or blue etc. For me it was a fun experience, but I can imagine how this could frustrate some more serious players. In that scenario it would probably be +2 roadkill. Either way I appreciate any player who adds some life to this gameworld through their roleplaying even if its sometimes slightly disruptive or makes everything move slightly less efficiently.
lol love it! And yea like I said there is a time and a place for this kind of stuff. But I also appreciate like you said what it adds to the game. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts on this!
You dare say the Free state of the fingers did nothing! I still hear the battleship chant in my sleep 23 and 0! 23 and 0!.....
lol! I can't remember what war it was but I was little salty when I was Colonial and we were losing hard and The Fingers gang just kept larping. I think it was one of the first wars they came about.
We all miss that soldier.
Why did he leave us?!? I hope he comes back.
I like the Roleplaying its funny but sometimes playing serious is fun too i think everyone should play like he wants
Agreed! I do a mix. I probably lean more towards serious playing most of the time but when there are others around doing good roleplay I will join them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
I've never really done it before but I will give it a shot. Sounds fun.
It can be! Just know the right times to do it :D
[Red Cross] ✚Vedagi✚ here....
The Foxhole Red Cross is not exactly a larp group, since we are an actual PR project of the ICRC. But calling us "role-play" isn't all wrong either. I want to share a few stories that happened just thanks to me wearing that tag.
The first story is in the damn hell called Scurvyshire: Every war there is a massacre, in one war, i was running somewhere at night, having no idea where the damn front was again! (haha). And then I ran into a Colie (since I was Warden), and he seemed alone in the destroyed T2 bunker piece, so I hopped there with him, gave him a quick heal, and then we started to talk and talk until a Spatha showed up. Instead of going on, they stopped, and for 5 minutes they (in a fun way) "argued" over whether the Spatha would shoot me or not. The Colie stood between me and the Spatha with just his trusted Argenti raised against his own faction tank, while the tank was aiming at him with its barrel. In the end, the tank shot and killed him, and I ran away to safety. To this day, I still remember that guy - I never saw him again... o7
Then I have a lot of minor ones... For example, making a truce in bridge fights.
I remember one quick story: I was in Allod's Bight, and the battle was raging on for the Relic. I rushed into no man's land and met some Colie there - I don’t remember if I revived him or what, but we talked. Then another Warden came, then another Colie… again and again, until there was a bunch of us just chilling there, talking, and having fun. After 15 minutes or so, we decided to go back to our own lines.
Another one I remember, and someone could actually mention in the comments here from what I read: it was a good few wars ago in Callahans Passage. We were pushing into the Town when I got left behind. Before I was able to reach our lines, the other faction was everywhere, and since I realized they had next to no medics, so i stayed. A guard formed around me and protected me until I died iirc. This is not a single incident tho, it happen multiple times, that a guard forms around me, which is always lovely to see and warms me :)
I have many such stories - some smaller, some bigger, most forgotten by time. The FRC actually has a "Sunhaven Guard" (this is not a recruitment Rob haha), who are people whose job is to protect Red Cross medics. They are a separate group from the FRC, with their own tag, ranks, etc.
Awesome
I always try to bring a little role-playing in when I play and gradually increase throughout my time playing.
If I'm in some huge combat scenario lots of role-playing but more laid-back quiet moments it can disappear or at least shrink.
Of course it really depends on my mood and state of the war as it affects me pretty bad. It's hard to put on a role when we've been losing non-stop and most of those I'm playing with don't know what they are doing so I have to take on a leadership role
I love that! And I get that. I think it's respectable to know when the right time to do it is. Thanks for sharing that!
Alot of people forget you can take the game seriously while role playing
True! The True larp heroes!
PRAISE SEED!
It's the Colonial Logistic Roleplay that everyone immediately gets behind but nobody quite knows why.
lol Praise SEED!
Just saying as a medic, the louder I hear medic being screamed the higher your priority goes up 😂😂
lol so true!!
This is so real LMAO
theres always this guy screaming HOLD THE LINE and then get artied in the air
lol! Tale as old as time in Foxhole :D
Logistics roleplay: whistle "We all lift together" and drink beer IRL when applicable i guess.
lol that's basically the logi roleplay.
An easy way to roleplay as a logi player is to act like a mindless robot that only responds in affirmative or negative
lol true!
Honestly I love roleplayers. My favorite thing about foxhole is the interactions with others. When I come across roleplayers it makes the gun much more funny
Same! And I agree adds some extra immersion to the game :D
Medic: "I am going to save your life! Hang on! Your life has value!"
Random shirt: Gets hit by a logi truck for being on the road. :SPLAT:
lol! Foxhole giveth and Foxhole taketh away!
Man I love the RP part of the game, specifically my part in the video with that boat, that was one of my best memories from this game.
Glad to hear that! And that RP was so cool! I love that clip!
I'm split between people who LARP. Like, yeah I get it. People want to add another dynamic to the game. I'm all for that. But when, let's say, I'm solo loading MULTIPLE tanks to take via ship to another hex when the seaport is down (War 112 Fingers), don't stop to try that character stuff, don't say "Oh you're parked wrong" and don't touch my tanks trying to male the area "neater". I will open fire after warning you twice.
Read the room. If you want to get in on some of the action, then let's go!
Also, for those that haven't served in any military that want to learn certain phrasing and jargon. There's SEVERAL actual veterans, like myself, that served in some capacity. Most of us don't really speak the military linguo as to make it easier on our civilian counterparts. But whenever there's someone on the front asking "What do you mean sector of fire and covering the defilade?", it's always cool to explain it in a manner that makes sense for not just the one person asking, but everyone else around us.
Overall, LARP if you want to, just please be courteous and ensure you know the reading of the room so it doesn't hinder people too much
Aww robert you throwing shade on the fingers! 2:48 seems given the 2 fronts losing fingers opened up all the way to terminus, I think collies will respect it more going forward (or not lol)
lol! Oh you noticed that...ha! This is one of the first wars where naval has actually done some good damage to another faction in my opinion. There has been some other wars with good navy but I think on much smaller scale.
7:00 this is my Roleplay zone
Nice!
I'm not a role player, but it sure does make me laugh of some of the role playing responses on the front, it just didn't get old
That's awesome to hear! Glad you can appreciate it :D
Robert teach us to be better foxhole players and on top of that, to be better people.
That's one of my goals :D We have a lot of positive groups and individuals in this game and it needs to be highlighted!
Drive on the left by the laugh so much you’re free to go now
Lol!
I love the smalltalk side skimirshes
Same! The cross over voice between factions is a big reason I love this game.
@RobertLovesGames yeah i love that, the factions Are so different in the privat Dialog.. the small "brutal" war storys are for me my fav. Part of this game
You can do both, being effective and have fun roleplayin.
... so do both, subtile RP is still possible and adds fun. Even if its just muffled screaming for a medic, yelling commands, being immersed and immerse others to spread and recieve more fun and have an overall enjoyable experience.
Easiest roleplay move is just to yell "for callahan!" and hear others yell it too. Its the best weapon wardens got.
lol so true!
I think honestly the only times I have roleplayed as logi is whenever there's a traffic jam of sorts or there was this one time in War 115 or 116 I believe. where I got out of my logi truck after delivering supplies and converse with this guy talking about this statue near the frontline. Made up lore for it and everything. Thats was pretty cool.
Usually if I RP, its as a Medic.
Nice! That sounds like some good logi roleplay! Thanks for sharing that! Also keep up the good medic work on the front!
I love the role play, Makes the game so much more fun, and some of it is so funny! I also see it move the front in so many ways, I have literelly just followed some dudes around roleplaying just to see what they do and say next.
On a serious note, I believe that roleplaying (especially on the front) is inportant as it reminds people what foxhole really is... a freakin game! And it always helps cut the tension. If you dont dig the role play then thats ok too. Just dont opress people who want (or dont want), mute button is a tool that the devs have given us if you really feel that strongly about it. In my humble opinion
Agreed! And yes morale and roleplay I think go hand in hand on the front. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
Heyo Robert! CG member here! I’m both baffled and thankful that you gave us a shout out here, let us know if you ever want to collaborate for anything as we’ve got streamers who could give you some footage if you’d like! And also, if you’d like to join our server we can send you some stuff for the shaboingery we’ve gotten up to before XD
Have a great day!
Invicta Krieg, the emperor protects!
Yo! I will for sure! Thanks for the offer appreciate it!
both of those guys dying while gathering was truly a shakespeare moment
I love roleplaying and i have so much fun doing it in foxhole
It's the best! And I'm glad you enjoy doing it! We need more role-players out on the battlefield :D
For me, larping only really works if you fully commit to it and don't break the act, and when you and others can do that larping/roleplaying can be insanely fun.
I remember when I first started playing (War 94? About 2 months after Inferno came out), I was a Collie and dropped into a hilly map (Reaching Trail I think?) and I ran into 2 other guys with an Abandoned Bardiche. We got it refueled, got like a dozen rounds and went for the front.
We started fighting 3 Cruiser Tanks, and in the middle of the fight a major snowstorm hit, we couldn't see shit and thats when the larp truly started. The best way I could describe it was that it was the voicelines from GHPC and Fury combined, we were able to disable 1, knocked out another which we were able to capture and the 3rd we knocked out completely.
One of the reasons why I think the larp worked really well then was because it wasn't us being 'pretend terrified', **we were legitimately scared shitless**. Fighting 3 enemy tanks while completely alone, in the middle of the snowstorm/blizzard and as it was still somewhat daytime we couldn't see the tanks clearly but we also couldn't see the headlights as it wasn't dark enough which made it feel a bit like a horror game.
I know i'm late but i'm a medic and warden main. light roleplay by giving the combat boys little health tips keeps me from going insane from hearing "MEDIC" for the billionth time
I think the naval hexes are important, hence the current war situation... Not sure calling out the Fingers members as "role players" helps the faction. We held down a logistic town and put pressure on Tempest Island, which is a victory point. Saying the islands dont matter frustrates those who help with GB's and holding down a lane.
Our five-men logi squad roleplays as a group of technicians, with the most possible use of nonsense workshop- and corporate lingo.
Also, we are strong advocates of the addition of ,,pack of smoke" and ,,rubbish coffee" items, which after their use would increase the working speed of cranes, harvesters, etc. while operating them.
Most of our regiment are active, reserve, or veteran military. Plenty of roleplay and plenty of proper comms. Pretty fun all around.
I love that! I've met a few groups like that and they all seem really fun to play with!
Second day I played foxhole, I deployed at Bucklers sound for a major defensive, I was randomly called up by a Major at spawn telling everyone to pick up satchels. We followed ranking honour and listened. This led to countless suicide charges on the townhall, was really fun RP'Ing with those guys, hope I find them again soon in the war
That sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing that! I had similar experience when I first started playing where higher rank gathered all the new ranks on the front and led us to where the enemies were and taught us how to play in sort of a roleplay fashion.
You should play the game to have fun first. Feeling frustrated brcause of always dying and failing? Take a breather, go get some food or do some exercise, whatever you like to do.
For sure! There are some people out there unfortunately that play Foxhole just to "win" and only want to play serious. Which I respect. Again everyone has their own playstyle. But they shouldn't ever be getting mad at people roleplaying and vice versa roleplayers shouldn't be getting in the way or harming those trying to be serious.
But yes if you are getting frustrated with the game definitely go touch some grass or go for run :D Thanks for your thoughts on this!
The only thing keeping me back from unleashing my true inner leader and my larp goblin is cause I'd rather not wake up the family, my neighbours, and the people across the fcking water.
Ha fair! Maybe just try whispering your commands in a really confident voice?
@@RobertLovesGames I dont think they can hear it over the explosions XD but my normal voice will still do though.
sadly their is nothing more effective then screaming: LETS DO A MAMMON RUSH, FOR THE BOYS!
To get a lot of people to suicide charge enemy static defenses in the open or in cities, especially in early war now
I do backline logi until I get called for navy missions. That happened so frequently that I just embraced the navy life. So my character uses navy lingo while on land and has an unhealthy obsession with artillery shells.
Nice! I love that!
LARP IS LOVE, LARP IS LIFE
Agreed!
I'd even go as far as to say that roleplaying can be deciding for the course of a war. For many it's what they find most enjoyable in the game, and without them there would be definite manpower shortages
Sometimes! I think it can certainly help morale. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
Yo wait thats me at 2:11 holy crap…. That photo is almost 2 years old i was still a WO! Good times😢
Nice! Good spot! :D
I love roleplaying in foxhole, thats the 2nd reason why I bought the game
That's awesome to hear! Keep up the good larp!
Come cover the farranac coast brother
I will if I get a chance! :D Been hearing some good reports!
@@RobertLovesGames it's mad here for us wardens. Quite back and forth.
I like the soundboard over the top whistle I hear sometimes.
Nice!
In every game I play, roleplay is a factor that pops up more often than not. But it has to tie heavily to what you are doing for it to be truly enjoyable.
There's no point pretending to be an officer if your in game rank is too low and you know nothing about the higher end of game strategies.
I feel often times people say its disruptive because they aren't involved, but in reality we are all roleplaying all the time.
If you do logistics, you are roleplaying that role. You receive orders over maps and radio, and use that information to farm and produce supplies to ferry forwards, so why not throw in some harmless dialogue pertaining to what you are already doing non-verbally.
If you tank, you are roleplaying a tanker. A commander needs to keep a good line of communication with his driver, gunner, and other tank commanders. It is in no way hard to add some vigor and urgency to your work, considering you already have your feelings over trying to win the fight.
If you're just an infantryman, you're always calling out enemy positions anyway. You use the levelling system in game by default to know who to listen to, as those with higher ranks are much more knowledgeable than you. So why not throw in a simple "yes sir" or "great idea/job (rank)", it harms nobody and helps players both new and old feel like they are making a difference in the continuity of the game.
Roleplay in all my experiences in all games, is not ever a harmful thing. Trolls and Greifers can pass their stuff off as RP to get out of trouble, but its obvious they aren't RPing and it never works.
As long as you are respectful to the people around you, bad things wont come from slapping in a little bit of immersion into the game
some situational larping can be really good
Agreed!
The extent of my role-playing is "I'll get you out of here brötherrrrrrr"
Or if i trade with the enemy ill say "Dammit, this war claimed the both of us brother.. We finally found peace together in death"
Pity some collies insult us wardens instead of joking or giving us a funny but not outright insult when we interact on the battlefield. Edit: but I have had very fun interactions with collies 😊
Some of the insults can be a type of larping. Some insults though just go to far and are more of the "gamer" talk.
@RobertLovesGames yeah, I make the difference between larp fun insults (which are fun) and ... well real ones
larp is life larp is love
Agreed! Well said!
For logi roleplaying you could just sing hi ho off to work we go while collecting scrap or pretend music is playing on the radio while driving.
I love that! That would be cool! Someone told me they write journal entries for each day as a logi player as well :D
roleplaying is great to raise morale a very important factor in winning wars in this game. But it shouldn't be use to disguise griefing
Agreed! And also agreed! There is a time and place!
Those people harping on about Larpers in general chat and so on aren't a real representation of the playerbase.
I switch to region chat everytime.
Good call!
2:04 Callahan’s weakest warrior
lol!
The dev should also add aero planes like bombers and fighter planes
They have hinted that they might! Would be cool!
I larp as a Warden traitor because I used to be a Warden loyalist. I went goblin this war.
Spoiler: 90%+ of being an adult is just role playing what we have accepted as social standards.
lol! So true. I love that!
Screaming “For Callahan, for the Emperor” with every charge is all i need tbh.
Downed a Collie and he said “Callahan is the false prophet” and I responded with “No he isn’t >:(“
lol I love it!
FOR THE EMPRA
I've only played a little bit of the game but I find I enjoy some "light" or "contextual" roleplay. You could still be working to do the optimal thing but RP a bit while doing so.
For a moment I thought this video is about naval ops
lol I mean it might as well be right :D
I really want to get back into this game but I find the community so unwelcoming.
DM me on discord and I’ll help you find one!
Biggest problem is, and will always be, people mistaking 'yelling in a silly voice' for roleplaying. You are not 'playing a role' by screaming into your mic for your entire death timer, or yelling foolishness in an accent, your trolling, and actively discouraging other people from enjoying the single best part of foxhole, the voice chat in a big cqb clusterfuck.
Are you really a warden if you’re not praising Callahan at the top of your lungs
True!!
I recall performing a serious roleplay by acting as a salty medical sergeant. I'd bandage people back up, play up medical malpractice and ignorance, until i met a new russian player who accidentally bayonetted me after i stitched him back together. I spawned back at base and decided to put on my smokey bear. I hunted that borcht guzzlin', vodka breathing, fish monger down and made him take over my former medic role by forbidding him from taking lives in my best impression as a drill sergeant. Theough his broken english, and laughs, he did and saved a lot of lives at The Steel Road.
Usually when I role play it’s to tell whoever is near me to tell my wife…I cheated on her with her sisters.
Or to ask to be placed next to an oak tree. Have to say, even you collies obliged me with that one
lol nice! I like the oak tree one!
9:10 WHAT UNIFORM IS THAT. I can't find it anywhere and Im not talking about the officer uniform or the guy in the armored uniform or the guys in the normal uniforms.
Someone in my discord found it. It's a mod. www.nexusmods.com/foxhole/mods/46
Hey i was wondering if you had any experience on the western hexes. It felt like we had less vets and less time operation gameplay compared to the eatern hexes
From which faction? I played a bit on the western side during war 117. I played more on the western side during 115,116
When everyone roleplays the destruction and extermination of the other side everyone has a laugh. But when I roleplay about the same thing in my own way, I'm labelled the weirdo extremist. >:(
Dang sorry to hear that :/ gotta find the right group to play with!
@@RobertLovesGames Would you like to roleplay with me about Ward genocide?
Roleplay makes this game feel alive, and I like that there are personalities. But the only one time (many times) that I freaking hate roleplay is when they use music to boost morale or they use chill music. Like, dude, stop it. It's good to boost morale, but operations such as tank operations that require communication will affect their effectiveness to respond to any situation because they can't hear their driver/gunner/commander.
It really does! And I don't like the music as well. I normally mute those players right away.
I think "roleplaying" is fun AND effective when done in the context of what is going on -- but like you said, if you're doing Island LARP ... that's really a waste. But if youre RPin'g as some medic on the front lines saying "hold on bud Ill patch you up" and the guy is talking about "tell my wife I love her" - that's a lot of fun.
Drive on the right because the wheel is on the left.
I like it!
Roleplaying doesn’t reduce the effectiveness of your team. My terrible aim is what’s doing that!
LOL! This hits way to close to home ha
Best LARP is Navy LARP -- fun AND (probably) effective! /// ALL HANDS MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!!!!
Love it! And the navy larp for the Wardens this last war was very effective :D
Regarding logi role players, I once came across a coordinated trench digging group that was singing the 7 dwarves “Hi hoooooo” song nonstop 😂 people telling them to shut up or joining them in the song
I love that! Need them on the front with all the arty holes!
rp creates immersion
"im not going to tell you how to play the game"
proceeds to tell players how to play the game;
"don't roleplay if others don't appreciate it, by picking up on their social queues"
as much as I appreciate and enjoy your videos, this was a BAD and uninvited take.
I think you just took it the wrong way. I was stating that if you are trying to roleplay with someone else and they don't want any of it then maybe stop trying to roleplay with them. Maybe I didn't explain it well enough. And most of what I say is just my opinion so you do you.
The thing ive come to learn is that "LARP" has become a buzz word.
Basically, anything that isnt what you do is LARP. Navy? SHT? Facilitys? All LARP to people who dont do them.
For sure! Basically anything that is not "meta" is larping. I prefer to larp :D
i larp as a logi player by drinking on the job
lol love it!
