Foxhole 0.0.26 is released and live. Howitzer, Garrisoned House, Factory System, Upper Heartlands Redesign, and More!

I'm sorry to be the one to bring it up. This is great and all.

But what I feel is that you focused too much on the end-game content making very excited 10 of your elitist players who are online 24/7 on Discord. On the other hand new player experience is pretty poor because some basic concept are flawed. The game is very harsh for new players and it seems that nothing will be done to change it.

Seriously, if you are not part of the clan or other long-established group you will have hard time doing anything isefull in the game in a long run since the concept of locking and the concept of respawning are somehow not very good.

Issues I see as a non-clan player: * everything is locked behind the coallition so I nedd to create everything by myself * the time needed to prepare yourself for battle is too long * random/new player has no means to coordinate with the team because the map is vague (not enough markers), grouping mechanism is un-formal, chat is cluttered. You can ask in a team chat what to do or ask gor an invite and good luck with that. * without being part of the group you spend half an hour on preparing yourself and then either yout stuff gets stolen by the teammate, you get killed by the teammate or you get killed by the enemy all of which leads you to another half an hour preparation. * information presented to the player is too scarce - no information about where are the team trucks, where is the frontline, where are the resources, where are you needed, what weapon is usefull for what and so on. Asking in the chat most of the times gives you typical elitist answer: "watch the tutorial" which doesn't help much especially to someone who already watched the tutorial.

Please no personal offense and understand that I really want this game to succeed. I'm just concerned that development seems to be headed toward the end-game too early forgetting about some basic stuff crucial for non-elitist players.
