Just how fricking OP is humanity in this universe? So far it looks like if every imperial guardsman had a personal drednaught.
The helldivers only get called in for shit behind enemy lines. There are regular infantry, they are packed into meatcubes on bot planets and presumably inside the nests on bug planets
A Helldiver job sounds way better in my opinion
>they finally add walkers
>4 man squads of walkers just mowing down wave after wave of bugs
they were very slow in HD1 and more like mechwarrior assault mechs. Slow to turn, have to position them at the enemy or you'll get flanked easily
In HD1 mechs felt op until difficulty 12 where their only use was escort/defense crutch. People had to haul ass otherwise they'd get overrun quickly
>Slow ass mechs get overwhelmed by trash
I mean yeah im sure the first week they are out they will be spammed but honestly it seems like they will be like mobile turrets you can use.
Well they are big enough to equip every individual helldiver with a personal battleship
Yet make you manually arm a hell bomb for budgetary reasons ¯_(ツ)_/¯
nah, its pure logistics, aka gameplay reasons.
One of the loading screes specifically stated that the manual activation is due to budgetary constraints.
yes, lore-wise.
gameplay-wise, that means for meta reasons, its just an additional interaction.
Yes, and the preceding conversation was about the lore of the helldiver / super earth military organization.
I think the idea is that there are many divers on a ship (or your clones) but one runs it at a time or the democracy officer runs it
It's probably one helldiver+clones with the democracy officer being a spy that will take control if any treason is found.
there aren't clones, each person you get killed is a different one in lore
I think it would be a neat thing if they let you set a preset of armors that is shuffled each time you respawn. They already do this with the voices, so it would fit well in my opinion.
and maybe a couple more voices, or at least weigh the crazy laughing chick voice less
Speaking of, I assume the Helldivers have a line of clones as reinforcements? They just get unfrozen and sent back into hell constantly.
Not clones, just more recruits frozen until needed
There are dozens if not hundreds of helldivers frozen on the ship.
It's a destroyer and it's not yours, it's for every single cryofrozen butthole also on board once you die
its yours (for as long as you live, which probably wont be long, then the next guy gets it and so on)
Your average guardsmen are those SEAF corpses scattered about outposts and such. Helldivers are just nutcases sent on 40 minute hit and run missions, pulling the battle cluster back before the main force of whatever occupying force arrives. It's why the enemies spawn more often the longer you linger.
helldivers are just better equipped soldiers with their own personal destroyers on call 24/7 to nuke whatever they want. the only difference between them and normal soldiers is probably zealotry, given helldiver recruits are 90+% patriotic and willing to do crazy shit even if it kills them
>Main force arrives
>90% of the planet is nuked
I wonder if the main military has hatred/rivalry with the helldivers since they basically frick everything up and take the glory. I wonder how many SE citizens dream about becoming a helldiver while disrespecting the regular armed forces despite most of them having a longer expiration date than a helldiver.
You play as a ship, helldivers is about meatwaves. That's why default voice is random, reinforcements are new recruits.
No, you play as the democracy officer sending helldivers on mission. Purchases of strategims and ship modules are all pre-chosen by the democracy officer, and the actual gameplay is just an advanced spectator mode.
That's a pretty cool headcanon actually that explains a lot.
That does not explain why everyone has their own frickhuge ship with 1 helldiver each.
>personal
>how OP is humanity in this universe?
They're not, it's a starship troopers film pastiche which means humanity is kind of moronic. Everyone and everything is disposable and their tactics aren't all that effective. You dump dozens of human beings at a problem and an absurd amount of fire support and munitions and you solve .00002 percent of the problem if you're lucky.
That's .00002 worth it, time to kick it up a notch for .0002.
I heard this game was buggy and full of bots
Carlos!
You died in that bus crash, It wasn't your fault.
Why are SteamBlack folk such whiny b***hes. Holy frick. WAAAAAH THE NETWORK IS OVERLOADED WAAAAAHH COMPENSATE ME homosexualS REEE WAAAH.
Just stfu and KILL bug
Report to the nearest Managed Democracy Rehab Center for thought correction.
>stop complaining about network issues in a multiplayer game
morons every fricking time
network issues are one thing, the losing medals and samples to the aether is an actual issue
I got this yesterday and got mission rewards from ONE out of FIFTEEN missions. Eat shit and fix your servers sven.
Jokes aside it is full of bugs.
mfw playing online despite broken loot system because it’s fun, making clogged servers even more congested
frick you anon.
Keep it up!
What armor are you all running? The six stims one has been very useful.
Wondering if light and heavy feel any different.
Starting Armor. It's the only good looking one.
6 stims is really good, other than that the heavy one that lowers recoil is pretty good. dont feel a difference going from heavy to light though, even if its something as hard to see as making you harder to hit while diving, because i cant tell a difference with stamina. being able to ping multiple enemies and for longer is worth it with the scout stuff though
Light saves lives on deserts, heavy saves you from bot lasers
I can't go back to anything else after light armor for the increased speed and stamina
The snow trooper armor from the "p2w" store with 30% better recoil control when crouched or prone (for that sweet full auto on auto cannon fire) and 50% explosive resistance (amazing in vietnam).
you can get that one just from medals if you dont want to spend your super credits on the set, i think its called 'marksmans armor'
Oh, I know. I just liked the look of the thing. My buddy had this issue of not wanting to waste super credits and then was delighted to see that the heavy armor on the second track had the exact same perks. He was a bit confused, as he genuinely thought the game had better perks in the SC store.
Honestly the fact the store is hilariously cheap as frick makes me not care about spending on it, this is probably the least israeli cash shop I've ever seen
>50% explosive resistance
What the frick, is that as good as it sounds?
for the bots it is, but useless for the bugs and everything that kills you with friendly fire will still kill you
when you're in robot hell where they're lobbing 50 explosives at you a second yeah its pretty good
>against bugs
Not really
>against beep boops
Yes. You can tank a rocket launcher to the face. Also, I really enjoy ragdolling around on a heated battlefield. Makes the "cinematic" moments happen more frequently.
So for bugs it is medium/light armor and for bots it is heavy armor?
Me and my buddies just run what ever looks the best to them, but if you want to minmax, I think the added mobility and detection range reduction would be more useful as the bugs are always in your face.
OORAH
that weapon clipping is egregious
isnt that armor not heavy tho? seems kinda neat. I'd check but currently I cant open the store in game lol
its medium actually if i remember right, which is the only difference between it and the normal one you can get with medals. so i guess you can have a bit more stamina with the cash shop one or more armor with the normal one
Unfortunately, it's Medium-Heavy.
Medium armor is:
> Armor 100
> Speed 500
But that snowtrooper plate is
> Armor 125
>Speed 475
It's not Heavy armour, but it's heavy-er Medium.
The reorder officer gundam armor, nice drop and the chance not to die saved me quite a few times
Trailblazer, because I like to ping the map and mark shit. I know it has less armour but the idea is to not get hit haha
I just like the first light armor look with the scarf
I fricking love tacticool scarf
even if its a leathery and probably not an actual scarf scarf
Finna wait for the inevitable 50% off sale
Which turrets should I use? The gatling turret runs out of ammo absurdly fast. Is the regular machine gun better?
Also should I get the eagle or turret upgrades in the ship modules first?
mortar turret is pretty good from what i've seen, just put it behind you so the enemies cant rush it
eagle upgrades first, it's Insanely good and if you only bring the 500kg bomb then it autoresupplies itself, giving you a positionable hellbomb
I think if they added a new enemy faction of sapient aliens (taking inspiration from the Covenant from Halo), vehicles and melee weapons (I believe the first game had an energy sword) the game would truly be kino.
>I think if they added a new enemy faction of sapient aliens (taking inspiration from the Covenant from Halo)
Illuminate from the first Helldivers
i thought illuminate were just tau/eldar/protoss since they were high tech
Yes the Covenant are basically the Tau.
Frick these guys in particular, I can imagine how annoying they'd be in third person.

Frick I didn't realize I'm playing a fricking early access title
I respect these devs. Killing bugs is noble.
are you all getting money and medals atm? just ran a few missions and half my menu's wont open on the ship and im not getting any credits or medals.
It's an ongoing issue, I suggest not playing until they fix it. Also report it to the steam forums
IM PLAYING ON HELLDIVE AND IVE ONLY FOUND 3 FRICKING SUPER RARE SAMPLES
WHERE ARE THEY
Only 3 spawn per mission, no?
They all spawn around the same structure
IVE KILLED OVER A DOZEN SPORE SPEWERS
>suicide mission through helldiver difficulty
>team is aggroing everything
>no sneaking past patrols or avoiding conflict, just shoot everything because HOLY SHIT ANOTHER BILE TITAN or OMFG CHARGER
>they complain that we are constantly swarmed
>Tag bugs
>"Patrol, North East"
>Someone shoots it
EVERY TIME.
Why would you point it out for me, if you didn't want me to shoot it? Chances are I didn't even know they were there.
>Chances are I didn't even know they were there.
So you didn't sprint directly into them instead of going around. But you're right you were going to do that anyway.
Is it just me, but on difficulty Challenging (I think it's 4?) it becomes pretty much impossible to solo? If you trigger even a single patrol, from this difficulty on, it becomes an endless loop of bug breach/dropships. I know that you aren't supposed to fight patrols, but you can only dodge them until so much, eventually you will run into frickers around the objective, since they seem to be heading towards you anyway even if they don't "see" you.
Literally git gud at killing chaff.
The stronger enemies don't call in reinforcements, and you can wipe out patrols of weaker enemies before they call reinforcements unless one of them is hidden behind cover or terrain.
It works on 7 for me(against bots) and I'm a shitter.
i think only the bots with red heads call for dropships but dont quote me on it
Ahh okay, I didn't know only the smaller ones call in. I'll try to focus them on, but it feels like the reinforcements are called in within seconds of engagement, is it really realisitc to kill them all consistently before they call in?
Use the grenade launcher, clears the littles like nothing else
How the frick are you supposed to sneak around shit?
>start crawling
>patrol just magically happens to change their patrol direction towards me
>they patrol faster than I crawl
I want my super rare sample but every mission is just a fricking wild mad dash and our sample carrier eventually dies in a position we cant retake because there are so many enemies on it
Enemies enter an alerted state when they first notice you, but that doesn't instantly start a fight, just divert course and get behind something or further away from them. The light armor that lowers detection rate makes it even easier.
Are the CPU and anti-cheat issues legit or is it just morons screaming about nothing?
Just morons. They repeat the same lines every time a new game comes out and has anti-cheat
I was concerned at first, but looking into it I couldn't find any verifyable source that the anti-cheat ever caused anyone any issues, so I bought the game. I don't have any issues so far, and the game is fun as frick so I'm glad I didn't listen to the fearmongers, because I would be missing out on certified kino.
And this everyone is what a paid shill looks like. Buy an ad for your fricking game
I get nauseous when I read your post, even as someone who likes the game.
The frick are you on about?
Imagine lurking in a thread of a game you don't even like.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NProtect_GameGuard
>nProtect GameGuard (sometimes called GG) is an anti-cheating rootkit developed by INCA Internet. It is widely installed in many online games to block possibly malicious applications and prevent common methods of cheating.[1][2][3] nProtect GameGuard provides B2B2C (Business to Business to Consumer) security services for online game companies and portal sites. The software is considered to be one of three software programs which "dominate the online game security market".[4]
>GameGuard uses rootkits to proactively prevent cheat software from running.[5] GameGuard hides the game application process, monitors the entire memory range, terminates applications defined by the game vendor and INCA Internet to be cheats (QIP for example[citation needed]), blocks certain calls to Direct X functions and Windows APIs, keylogs keyboard input[citation needed], and auto-updates itself to change as new possible threats surface.[1]
It's a rootkit and arguably a hardware-level rootkit since it tends to get out of control and frick up shit it ought not to be fricking with.
Third worlders upset that they can't illegally pirate the game and cheat
Content-farming and something to b***h about. personally what I think matters is the business/publisher using this kernel-level access. I'd be more suspicious of some no-name rando publisher with their own anti-cheat. In this case it's Sony, I'd say the complaints are overblown.
What's kinda funny is that Sony has a past with drm abuse, going back to the days of cd-roms, notably music CDs. However, I don't think this anti-cheat has any nefarious things going on in the background.
If you have an AMD card the issues are legit and possibly very serious.

Nothing. Its the same formula as deep rock galactic

Nothing, but its as good as any other if not better.
Being HD1's successor
The actual gameplay is just that good. They nailed perfectly the gunplay, how the enemies respond to being damaged, it never gets old dismembering bugs, or blowing heads off bots, and don't even get me started about the various airstrikes and orbital strikes, when they hit and take out several enemies, or big ones, not even porn can make me cum that much.
And the entire game has a tongue in cheek self aware satire vibe, constantly spewing shit about democracy and liberty, that they got perfectly so they are funny but not annoying.
>that they got perfectly so they are funny but not annoying.
I don't like the new voicelines. Wish they imported the ones from HD1 tbh.
I also like the HD1 voice lines better, but I don't think the new ones are bad.
didnt the first one have british voices too, weird how they have american voices but also not have a british one. i hope they add new voices with different accents tbh
Yeah, more voices would be cool. Hell, just add those from HD1 too.
A true co-op game. There are crew fired weapons. Because of the limited air strikes and weapons each person can bring there's no chance one guy carries the whole team. Calling things out (even if it's just pings) and coordinating fire is important. It's a real "strive together or die together" experience.
>It's a real "strive together or die together" experience.
Then HD1 is better at this because of the shared screen, but a lot of people got filtered by the view.
Besides the occasional one guy fricking off to the other side of the map, even randoms stick together without the shared screen. People are pretty respondent to pinging a location and knowing we're all moving there.
>when the whole team is non-verbal but you still form a cohesive fireteam from just map pinging and staying together.
I play like an engineer/ Forward Fire Controller with my shotgun and turret/minelayer load out.
Extractions are so easy when I'm making sure we're not getting overwhelmed
>It's a real "strive together or die together" experience.
Joke's on you, when I play with randoms I always frick off to do objectives and collect samples alone, because people don't know how to avoid patrols and just farm bugs until they're overrun. While doing this I've also noticed there's a mob count limit, so eventually randos attract all bugs and even patrols stop spamming, making my work easy.
splitting up is a valid way to do missions tbh. especially for shit like launching an ICBM which requires 2 sub objectives first, just send two guys to one and yourself and another to another and save the time
Its just a solid shoot game. I like that even when you die its not a big deal, in most coop shooters dying is a huge frick up and you are aiming for flawless runs. In HD2 someone will whiff an airstrike and get cartwheeled across the map, and the reaction is to just laugh, not get upset.
Im actually surprised by the competency of teammates too, it seems they found a good way to get people to actually work together via gameplay, people actually stick together, gives supplies, wait for airstrikes and tandem reload, far too often in coop games it feels like you are just playing in the same game as other people, and not really playing with them.
>In HD2 someone will whiff an airstrike and get cartwheeled across the map, and the reaction is to just laugh, not get upset.
No
I want my deathless Helldive runs
dying doesnt affect anything though, the only thing that does is not extracting with a full party, and even then the reward is miniscule
Im going to make sure to "accidentally" bring a mortar to a bug mission, just for you
Easier than you would think, stealth is an entirely valid option in this game, its just that with randoms they tend to shoot anything in sight.
t. Cleared solo on Helldive, wear scout set so you can use radar on your map for patrols
>Easier than you would think, stealth is an entirely valid option in this game, its just that with randoms they tend to shoot anything in sight.
>t. Cleared solo on Helldive, wear scout set so you can use radar on your map for patrols
But isn't stealth impossible once you get to needing to evac? How do you manage that solo?
Depending on how long you take on the mission is how bad the evac is, remember the mission is to extract, not get kills, even if you die with materials just run around and pick them up and keep running. As long as you completed the objectives even if you run out of lives the mission is still a success by the way, you just dont get to keep the materials you gathered.
Try soloing any mission and just do the main objectives, youll see what I mean. Its also the only time youll really get use out of stratagems like the mine fields, tesla coil and that stratagem that bombards a huge area with random fire, since you wont have to worry about friendly coordination.
>finish helldive destroy eggs with 25 minutes left
>nonstop titans
>8 chargers and 3 or 4 crushers still standing by the time we extract
Helldive is its own thing. I'm not even sure I actually like playing that high? The difficulty is moronic
Its doable with randoms but its a struggle, I prefer the difficulty below it.
I think ive only ever failed one mission and it wasnt even a hard one, Chinaman didnt catch the hint that airstrikes should be thrown far away and not right next to you.
Wish I could see the loadtimes for everyone so I can shoot the person on the shit HDD in the back of the head and then kick them after they force us to sit around for 5 minutes like it's a fricking warcraft 3 custom map.
This game is proof that you can just make full face helmets and capes standard equipment and military recruitment would triple. I guess it's a good thing they are literally too dumb to think of that.
wearing a cape would probably cause many problems, like it getting caught in something or it getting in the way of whatever you're doing, or if it gets caught up in your gun while it cycles. but the benefits of wearing a cape and feeling like a god among men far outweighs those trivialities
?si=Z7o5b5BdPv_Rnvq7
they put sphere hunter in movies now? the guy is making it big
Full face helmets and capes have to pass the pencil pushers that care about budgets so that won't happen. Only capeless military fatigues and weak chin exposing helmets for you
Capes are gonna get dirty, caught in things, wet, weigh you down, slow you down.
Fully covering masks are gonna stifle you, make it hard to cool down and are gonna get grimy and gross extremely quickly.
As a soldier you want as little redundant shit as possible weighing you down, or blocking your vision. Rule of cool doesn't apply when you're getting shot at irl
counterpoint, we dont even know if some of the planets you go on have breathable air. like mars at the start. some places with corpses show them without rebreathers and shit so its a given not every planet falls that way
>you don't want to look cool because....it's not optimal!
shame about those recruitment numbers dropping off a cliff. If only you let them look kino instead of like grunts
Full helmets are for when you can't fricking breathe the atmosphere
Full suit seal is to give you personal climate control so that dropping in from upper atmosphere to cancer lung spore spewers doesn't kill you
Capes are just cool but can also be used for additional insulation
No shit, I'm talking about real life

Not until the devs spin up more servers. Literally too many people trying to play is the issue.

You and me are the only real people on here anon, we dont buy things unless noone is playing them. Dragons Dogma is the next low effort cash grab that is only a low effort cash grab because I dont have interest in it.
It is probably extremely shocking to you to find out, but most people can buy a game, play 50 hours in a month, and feel satisfied with their purchase. They don't need have an internalized disdain for games that dont last them decades.
never played helldivers
is the super citizen edition worth the extra $20?
get the normal edition first and see if you like it enough to spend the extra 20. you can always upgrade later if you want to
No. Not unless having some white armor is worth $10 to you. I say $10 because it comes with the premium Warbond.
No.
No, you will have to farm green samples on level 1 missions anyway (because on higher difficulties you find too many orange and not enough green) and while doing it, you will easily farm 1000 credits in 2 days.
I do easy missions when running solo cause when people join you, you can all just frick off in separate directions and find shit with minimal risk of death. Also I'm surprised at how easy to find super credits are given the 2nd battle pass things cost them and you can buy them with real money. I've already got enough to buy it just from playing.
>you will easily farm 1000 credits in 2 days.
How do I get 1000 credits in an hour? This aint free to play
>How do I get 1000 credits in an hour?
You don't. More like 8 hours.
>You don't. More like 8 hours.
Isn't that like less than 5 dollars for 8 hours of play time?
You can't buy samples, and you will have to grind them anyway

I know people love to saltpost the second they lose a game, but I don't know how you can expect to have the winning strategy only a few days after launch in a game like this.
Anyone tried for the cheevos for doing shit like clearing a mission on the hardest difficulty with no one dying or using only your secondary? If so how bullshit are they?

War is hell
the missions are called blitz, have a tiny timer, and are all about finding holes and sealing them as fast as possible. yet people still sit and fight instead of realizing that every enemy in this game except a specific few special types of enemies are literally slower than you and you can just walk away from them even in heavy armor
post some webm
So can we all agree the worst unit is those little flying bug frickers that are basically mini-stalkers?
All the worst aspects of they’re big cousins minus the invis, but with 10 times the numbers.
the amount of times you can get killed just reloading is insane, unless you know for a fact you got a buddy there to cover you just swap to your secondary until you know there arent going to be any quick frickers

what strategems are good against titans?
500kg bomb and hope the ball lands directly on top of it
I did this and it still survived. Granted it was very wounded, but it still lived.
The only thing I've seen that maybe kills them in one hit is a close range rpg to the neck joint. Did it once, blew the head clean off. Direct shots don't work, or top down. Where the head attaches to the neck
There is a chance the bomb hits the titan, and since the bomb has pen value it embeds itself in the titan, and damn is it kino when that happens
Orbital railgun is the best, they move pretty quick when they want to so you aren't gonna be getting many airstrikes off BECAUSE SOME wienerMONGLER DECIDED TO PUT DOUBLE CALL IN TIME
Are Helldivers elite commandos or just meatwave grunts? In the tutorial you do really mundane shit and get praised as the hero of humanity for it, and the whole cape thing seems like a moron bait to me, as in "wow look at this shiny cape, pretty cool huh? Now go on a suicide mission with the other morons!" On the other hand you only operate in squads of four, which makes it feel more like a small elite force.
We're the elite morons.
Crayon-munching marine corps
I imagine they operate in teams of 4 because the real firepower is the stratagems, not people on the ground with guns, just like modern warfare. No need for lots of boots on the ground when you just need 1 guy with a radio to call in a laser cannon.
They are recon in the most absolute sense of the word. They are spammed in order to do critical decapitation so that the real military can easily mop up after. 100% liberation just means that the military can now easily win without any embarrassment to the SE government.
you are the 18 year old ideological zealot that fell for the party line so readily that they feel confident giving you access to nukes if it means you'll use it even should you die. helldivers have no difference from normal grunts other than equipment and zeal
Shock troops with fire support, think US Army Rangers/Airborne, British 16 Air Assault/ 3 Commando Brigade

cmon devs you called it the mg-43 for a reason
Thats be a nice weapon to add actually, something like a belt fed MG even.
the only downside is like with all team weapons, someone helping you use it means one less gun actively firing, so the weapon itself has to be good enough to justify it. that and you can solo stuff like the autocannon, the reload time isnt that bad if you're using it to snipe
>so the weapon itself has to be good enough to justify it
Yeah that seems to be a problem with the recoilless, doesn't seem to do enough to justify using two dudes to magdump

Very fricking cool. Thanks for wasting my time.
the "host" can kick you on a whim after being matchmade? Is this 2009, that's moronic
I stopped joining randoms and opting instead to host my own matches after being kicked on two occasions, when the extraction shuttle was landing. Like, I get it if you're moron and don't know how to set the privacy settings to friends only, but could you at least let me get the fricking reward for doing the entire mission? Still makes me angry.
Yep
Ran into some real fricking butthole who waited until the shuttle was close to landing to TK everyone with his autoshotty, grab their samples, and then kick everyone. this was after a very long mission where we made absolute bank in samples and objective clears.
Next time I saw him in another room I just TK'd him repeatedly until he ragequit since the chink host wouldn't kick him
>samples aren't shared
You can literally steal other people's "progress"?
That's so fricking stupid. Why would they make you fight against your own teammates like that?
It's a group effort, but you can individually carry samples.
tl:dr samples r shared
They're all shared, that guy just chose to be a complete homosexual. I am the sole reason my friend group has any of the sample upgrades because I'm extracting with 20-30-some samples after I hoover them all up from dead divers.
High difficulty gets more moronic randos.
It's because progression is tied to resources that are on your corpse when you die. People get pissy as frick whenever you lose those because they want their rewards for playing.
I really don't give a shit and find it more annoying when someone starts pitching a fit because they'll get the new thing they don't really need slightly slower.
The thing is, you only drop them. You don't suddenly lose them permanently - and on top of that there were people RIGHT NEXT to his body. He could've shown some fricking gratitude when I get him near evac and then asked them to pick it up before they exfil.
So I don't really get the hype. I don't see any sort of endgame, and it's just shooting baddies for no apparent goal? There's no loot or anything aside from the monopoly money?
People sometimes play games for fun, but because there is a trophy at the end anon. There is stuff to unlock and upgrades to make them better, which is what you could grind for if you were inclined.
So there's actually no point of playing the game? At least destiny had something to work towards.
The game takes place on a galactic map with different planets, where players have to push the enemy factions off the table by liberating the affected planets, that is the goal to push for.
>At least destiny had something to work towards.
As someone with 900 combined hours in both Destiny 1 and 2:
lol
lmao even
>So there's actually no point of playing the game?
>zoom zoom's are so fricked they can't understand the concept of playing a game for fun
Wait until they find out that winning the war is pointless and it will just start again. Free capes, though, maybe a parade uniform too.
Sometimes, the journey matters more than the destination.
Is Extreme difficulty the last difficulty level that actually adds new units? aka Bile Titan
I hate that enemies instantly notice you if you chuck a strike near them
One thing that SHOULD be changed. They should all look at the Strat Orb going ???? and maybe giving it a sniff. Then they explode of course.
Why would they not understand? The bots probably have their own airforce, even animals understand danger. After 10,000 generations in two days they probably all know what the red beacon means
I played Helldivers 1 religiously when they were released both on ps4 and PC, but stopped and haven't touched it for a couple of years after burn out.
Is the game good in third person perspective, or are you all meming and this is a marketing thread? I can't tell. I want to like it but hesitant, ok I'll just say it. Sell me on this game. Yes, shill it to me Anons.
Also played EDF and love WH40K if that helps.
Its fun, but just go watch some gameplay of the game and see if its what you are interested in.
I saw some gameplay, it does look fun but I was wondering what Anons thought it of.
Where's the problem in asking for the opinion on a Gankeridya hobby discussion board? I'm just asking if people here have played it and what they thought. You don't have to answer my post if you didn't want.
It's a marketing thread. Don't play it. Learn to form your own opinions you fricking NPC cuckold frick. God whiney homosexuals like you piss me off.
>do you guys think this game is worth the cost? I'm curious
>REEEE moron NPC THINK FOR YOURSELF
Do you have any idea how moronic you sound?
There is a thread full of people talking about it's merits and demerits. There is reviews, there are gameplay videos. There is experience from the first game he has played. If that's not enough to form a fricking opinion than nothing is. Stop being an indecisive homosexual and pick one.
Anon, some people don't have the time to spend all day online, yes this sounds slightly passive aggressive but the purpose of these boards, it's like a forum for a specific theme this being vidya games where you can drop in, talk with other people anonymously, and drop out and come back to that thread when you've got time (or spend all day arguing with bait posters).
It's telling to me you're calling someone an NPC while falling into one of the most NPC line of attacking someone this board sees day in day out.
I wouldn't criticize him for asking for more info on if the game's worth buying if not for him posting like a complete homosexual.
its literally just air raider gameplay without mechs or vehicles
Without mechs or vehicles yet. Soon we’ll have even more ways to accidentally splatter our allies.
I loved the first game and I’m loving the second. The third person perspective means you have to be more situationally aware. Also elevation adds a lot to the moment-to-moment.
Are servers working now? Or are they still shitting themselves?
They did some quick fixes late last night but the complete fixes will be today. The servers are just overloaded. Seems they weren’t expecting even a third of what they got.
>finally struggle through servers and crashes to unlock the final premium pass gun
>its actually just a Helldiver Bolter
>compared to the Breaker it lets you deal with ranged enemies very easily, can drop automatons like nothing else
>only just okay against bugs, Breaker probably still better
Hopefully the next pass has something Breaker-tier for long range cause this gun is gun but only just slightly. I'd still bring the Breaker 9/10 times
It can two shot bile spewers which is pretty handy. Only really usable if your team mates have trash clear to make up for it's low ammo though.
Trying to decide if I want the Breaker set before it leaves
Until I know how much warbonds will be priced at I'm not buying anything
the premium is 1000
Am I coping to think the other ones will be cheaper? It seems to me something advertised as "premium" would be more expensive by virtue of that?
I enjoy it to rush and solo explode bug lairs the extra nades are pretty handy. Just dont forget your shield backpack or you will consume all reinforcements
Do you like gernades?
Do you like light armor?
Do you mind burning approx 25 matches worth (assuming minimum 10SC per match) of credits?
If so go for it
>25 matches
Is that really all? this game is pretty generous
That is the 'max' estimation assuming at least one catch of SC per match
POI have a chance to drop bundles of 10, so you could get a god roll and have every POI with 10 SC and leave a well-explored map with like 60-100 SC
My highest yet was about 50 from a Suicide 7 bug mission, though only because we were constantly running and finding POI bunkers/shipping crates
Do the bundles not increase in value with difficulty?
No
World pickups do not increase in value, its just that bigger worlds have more places to spawn POI
Of course, this does mean you can run Tier 1 missions and sprint around the small maps rolling the dice on POI for quick five-minute returns on medals/SC per time spent
no it's fricking not
each match can range from 10 to 25 minutes
that's 3hrs+ to over 10 hours
for a single armor
like frick off, dude. Who are you trying to gaslight?
Just use the shield backpack and you are an immortal god of speed.
T. Spamming helldiver difficulty with friends
Curious what you run for strats at Helldive
Been floating at 7 - Suicide with randoms and rotated between
>Eagle Cluster Bomb
>Orbital Railcannon
>Railgun/Spear callin
>EMS Mortar/Shield Backpack
With some variance depending on group comp
Bugs I've been running light armor,500kg bomb, shield bp, rail cannon and auto cannon turret by myself. You need mobility to deal with them and you are always dealing with 2 bile titans, 4 chargers and hordes.
Guns I use is the breaker and the secondary sub machine gun.
Robots, I use heavy armor with explosion resistance, still rolling with rail cannon, orbital laser, mortar turret and auto cannon turret. 500kg bomb does frick all damage against robos.
I swap my secondary with the revolver
The difference between 7 and helldive is enormous. Light armor for bugs only, 500kg honestly seems to fall off here. Maybe if I had the ship upgrade to get another use out of it? But it is really only good for nests. If you whiff you're fricked for 3 minutes, I just roll cluster bomb, orbital railgun, personal rail gun, and maybe laser drone depending on the group. Breaker or dominator depending. Can't even really use the recoilless rocket on helldive because it takes too long to reload
Yeah my friend swapped for the spear. He kinda hates the lock-on but gets the job done with both robos and bugs
Spear fricks robots all day but I can't get it to work on chargers closer than 50 feet or so, so I just roll railgun with the safety off
Spear is the dedicated FRICK BILE TITANS and FRICK TANKS gun
Can oneshot both
For some reason it never oneshots chargers for me, only seems to blow out their sides so I just let my teammates deal with those
You need to hit them in the head or in the ass with it. It's finnicky but doable.
For me, it's black yellow. HELLO!
Any other colors are kinda cringe, imo.
At a glance I thought the tan helmet had angry anime eyes.
limited do dad get it while you can :3 with the ingame currency that you will have a very small amount of and costs real money
very subtle skinner box kek
does anyone wanna play with me sometime?
I give up, what is this for?
I'm assuming it's a bestiary terminal that'll get added later, they had one in the first game so it's a pretty obvious exception.
It might be some daily objectives thing that are personalized.
Unlocking more shit you can use in missions and upgrading your ship???
You see the things you unlock when you ready up?
Did you just start the game? Is this a bait or bot post?
>moron immediately outs himself as a bigger moron
Yup I’ll admit it, I released I was looking at the wrong thing here
more minigames that you need to pay for
Probably for vehicles when they get added
You have a problem with Super Earth?
I think this Anon
guessed it.
Do you think mechs will get their own upgrade bay or will they be rolled into robotics/engineering?
Guess they want you to grind for new shit given its a live service. But its not like you cant hoard ridiculous amounts of resources anyway.
Speaking of, I noticed you can see the vehicle bay on the far left
I want a tank to SHIT on the Automaton tanks. Those homosexuals deserve to have piss in their oil rations.
>can see things like burned out jeeps with turret sections on top around some maps.
Im wondering how they could balance that for 4 players just spawning in and going in opposite directions as well as outpacing any enemies, what could they realistically do without trivializing the game? I want them but I dont see how they can add that stuff without making a system where that one guy tries to go off on his own and do everything himself away from the team.
You have to get out and actually do the mission at some point. Vehicles were all garbage in 1 because of that, and because you can't reload them, so when the gun runs out of ammo you're just fricked
i loved the mech in the first one the way he would slowly turn its gun towards the enemy only to unleash a shitton of bullets into their direction.
i would mostly bring to mechs to a run and use them to cover my team from behind.
Tank driver and tank gunner require two different players
>kernal level malware
>kernal
Difference between the machine gun and laser drones aside from the obvious difference in weapon?
Laser is simply better. Not as high dps, doesn't need to reload, and people can see the beam to avoid it rather than just getting domed
beam weapons will be a lot more important when they eventually add the third faction
I love the autocannon but it feels so flimsy against chargers. Maybe it's their hitboxes but it just bounces off most of the time on the soft parts. Even the underside of a Bio Titan bounces more often than not.
I think I'll just get the railgun and put it on unsafe mode to charge up shots.
Autocannon cannot pierce the heavy vehicle armor of tanks/hulks/chargers/bile titans
It can still hit weakpoints, and having one on a team when facing the bots is helpful for sweeping up the smaller devestators/chainsawmen/ATST
Or just pack a railgun since that also can 100-0 Hulks with a headshot
I think the autocannon turret can pierce the chargers but the gun can't, I usually see people call in the anti tank gun to blast off the armour and then whittle it down
We're doing it bros. It's almost liberated.
what's the fastest way to get up from a dive? I tend to sprint but sometimes it just feels clunky and slow and idk what's causing it
Hit crouch to get up first then start sprinting. Am I moronic or does bellyflopping remove status effects like acid?
held buttons isn't buffered like alot of shit in this game
you have to spam get up again or sprint to actually do something immediately after
>intrusive chinese ring 0 anti-cheat
>people have still managed to cheat themselves infinite xp and resources
lmao
lol
>stalwart can toggle between different RPM settings
I feel like a moron for not knowing this. 1150 RPM feels insane on it.
I felt starwart is shittier than the default machine gun, since it didn't seem to penetrate some of the bugs' armor that the default machine gun did.
Yeah it's definitely a meme pick. Default MG has toggleable fire rate too.
Yeah, the faster reload doesn't nearly make up for the damage/armor pen loss. Would be better as a primary weapon instead of a support weapon.
>equip feminine body type
>character as a noticeably bigger ass

I will now play your game
Those survival missions are really fricking boring. I get it's kind of a break in the middle of a mini campaign but you spend a lot of time lying around waiting for shit to spawn. Extreme btw
If you play them solo on higher difficulties they literally don't spawn enough enemies to complete the objective either lmao
Its basically a free slot, take them when you can for easy materials and campaign completion.
Those missions are bugged.
How competent is Super Earth in-universe? How do they stack up to similar governments/militaries in, say, Warhammer, Starship Troopers and EDF?
Better than EDF, worse than Warhammer even before Guilliman. Pretty much everyone that isn't a national military of a Middle Eastern country is better than starship troopers
They canonically keep picking fights with other species for moronic reasons and starting never ending wars when they could have just left them alone.
Gotta thin the growing human population somehow!
The rate the Bureau of Human Resources keeps approving people C-1 forums is insane.
Well I'm from Buenos Aires and I say KILL EM ALL
Its Starship Troopers but the future is actually great.
>spread to stars, no longer fighting over land
>bugs produced efficient clean fuel, and have gotten uppity and started spreading to other planets they werent suppose to and breed like crazy
>bots produced labour, and have gotten ippity and need to have their "rebellion" shut down as theyu are now claiming they have rights, but dont even have a heart
And humanity lost all its grievances with eachother, as it had nothing to fight over, now they fight to keep their way of life.
>life is good for nearly all people, and if you get bored of life, or you are a genetic failure, you can die a glorious death in righteous battle

load times when entering missions are too long for me
am I the only one
Day one they were short but yesterday and today they're so long I keep fearing I'm disconnecting.
How are the zooks?
I fricking love ZOOK ZOOK
Lovely
But consider this: shoulder mounted auto cannon
why do the second tier of terminid planets have such a low liberation %?
I'm pretty sure they were both available yesterday and were even around 10% liberated, and now they're at more or less 0.
Everyone's focusing (rightly) on Angel's Venture, if we push ahead the bugs will just pull out the backline of liberated worlds and make things annoying.
>Malevelon Creek hasnt been lberated
WELL IM DOING MY PART
Malevolon was at like 12% and then it all went poof
what if the robots caused the servers to go down which ceased Helldiving operations.
Allowing them to fortify and retake "their" land
What if we're posting here with you right now
anyone got the roadmap?
I actually want seasonal warbonds and events for this game.
I particularly enjoy the SuperEarth Missions in HD1
I hope they plan to add everything still missing from HD1 (like the illuminate faction), and then some more on top of that.
>OFFERS VALID FOR 27M 58S
You're gonna MISS OUT, turns out these two sets never ended up returning making them incredibly rare a year from now
all the sets in the store so far have been so ugly. you have to look at them and decide if you want to buy by asking yourself 'if i see this a year from now, will i feel jealous?' and i really haven't felt that for any of them. after enough sets have been released, everyone will look wildly different and nobody is going to be like 'wow dude that's the ultra rare week 1 armor that hasn't been in rotation for 6 months!'
this
think of the Excalibur prime
its ugly as frick but also the rarest frame in the game
>zoomers rage when friendly fire is on

bots were fun when they were giving free railguns as the planetary effect. now im just gonna wait til lvl 20 before i try those again
Actually insane how much of a game changer the railgun is against bots
>can cut in half all the Devestator units
>can oneshot Hulks with a headshot
>merks ATSTs
Do the Bugs have an equivalent gun that trivializes them as much? I’ve been in the Binary Jungles and haven’t bounced back to try out the insecticide yet
In a perfect would it would be the flamethrower if it didn't suck ass
Is there any downside of using CAS compare to using orbital support?
it said that there is limited number of use?
depending on the mission parameters, orbital or eagle strikes could have a longer delay before landing on higher difficulties so you have to choose between the two unlike lower difficulties where you can have both. other than that eagle strikes are generally better than orbital ones
>closer you are to the edge of the map, the steeper the orbital bombardments are
i can't be the only one who thought this was an E.Y.E thread at first glance because holy frick that looks like a culter dei.
Hellbros, the flamer kills chargers extremely easily but it's bad against stalkers (the railgun is still supreme against these). I'm personally going jetpack + flamer to get distance from stalkers and sniping them with the marksman rifle and using it to juke and burn chargers.
Why does the jetpack feel so anemic? You barely get any height or distance with it.
It was too good in 1, but they nerfed it too hard.
It's purpose is supposed to be a get out of jail free card to being swarmed with melee enemies, but outside of that it's not satisfying to use or worth it taking up a back slot
As a jetpack veteran, here is why:
- Jetpack jump distance is based on your velocity, so you get the furthest jumps by using light armor. This is so heavy and medium armor can't use it to negate their armor movement speed disadvantage but can still use it to get on rooftops, I assume
- Jumping off cliffs and slopes allows you to get extra distance, so try to sprint up slopes while it's charging and jetpack down them to maximize your FAST
- Bind your 'climb' key to alt and your 'dive' key to spacebar, so you can use spacebar to dive in combat and alt to jetpack when it's ready, holding sprint auto-climbs so there's not really a reason to put climb on spacebar instead of dive which you should be using way more (it was like this in HD1, no clue why they changed it)
Yeah, it would be flamer if it didn't have such a slow turn radius when you're aiming it. It aims as slow as a heavy machine gun when you need it to be really agile in close quarters, so I hope they fix this aspect of it. It's really powerful outside of that
Thanks, I was looking for a good key to put dive on. Kept pressing alt + shift and accidentally typing in moonrunes
its pretty much good for cheesing the bugs by jumping on a high area they cannot pathfind into, though the flying bugs might still get you
i rather have the fuel version like in the first game, because the cooldown is way too long
Its cause its a jump pack not a jetpack. I think if it actually was a jet pack and you had to manage heat or self-destruct like the railgun it would function better.
think of the jetpack more as just a fancy dodge roll
Guard Dog Rover MVP
Yeah that thing is fantastic against anything smaller than the small armor bugs, it's great not to have to worry about them when you run around plugging nest holes on foot
>explosion knocks me 200 feet into a rock and shatters every bone in my body

It's all i hear

happened on both bug and automaton planets for me.
Happens. No idea what produces it, or how to fix. Just abandon mission.
New store
I'm buying both of those helmets and the BIG BOY armor on the left, holy shit
Yeah I actually like both helmets a lot
Big boy has a nice passive
what does higher armor rating even do? it seems to have the same armor rating as any heavy armor on the stat card
Perks?
>400 virtual coins
whats the equipment stats?
Aw frick I gotta get that second helmet. Scout troopers were the coolest stormtrooper variant.
What bonuses do the outfits have
>Store Brand Scout Trooper
Unironically tempted.
These are both very meta. The light armor with explosive bonus and less recoil is going to be great
Aw damn the explosive resistance on the light armor is a great combo, gonna have to buy
i hope they put these trait combos on some armor in the next warbond, the extra padding on heavy armor is good and i really want to armormaxx
Really wish they'd have just made the passives a separate piece of gear and leave outfits as pure fashion
yeah i agree, it should just be a perk that you choose since they apparently don't matter between armor classes. feels like a skinnerbox way to make people use SC on certain armor
>The amount of ammo is accurately simulated in the magazine
Soul
The guntism is pretty strong with these devs.
Can I play this game if I don't have any friends?
i make so much SC frick pay to win spouting morons im gonna be rich by the time the next warbond is out
How do you farm effectively? Just hit as many points of interest on lower difficulties?
pretty much
if you spam the interact button the items can glitch out and you cant grab them, so just pick it up slow and let the animation finish / dont let multiple people grab for items together
most i've made in a single mission was 80 SC and it took about 20 min total. if you get lucky and have a scanner it could be faster
NTA but more or less. I've bought two armor sets and I'm sitting at 850 SC right now, was hitting difficulty 2-3 for common samples with a friend, both with light armor and covering as much of the map as possible.
Yeah I should probably go do chest runs on low diff before the devs wise up
2nding, not sure which difficulty to farm it on. really want to pick up some of these armors and be stocked up for the next premium warbond
same spawn chances for any difficulty literally do tier 1/2
the bug planet is pretty good right now because its easy to see the POI from a distance
How many hours clocked?
25 so far but I also bought some armor already
It is fair to say it's around 25 hours for 1800 SC, then?
i guess but i also got faster over my time
maybe like 1800 for 20 hours
that's around 90 per hour. Still a bit too low for my taste, considering they can release stuff with 400 SC now. There's no telling if they won't release stuff at 600 or 800 SC later.
might be possible to do it faster if I keep optimizing
things like rerolling a mission to get a radar scan which speeds up the process exponentially
its weird because I'm also getting medals and reqs so it ends up being a faster way to grind than harder missions in every way
>That bot condition which randomizes all of your strategems
I both hate and love this at the same time.
I usually forget it was added to a mission until right at spawn drop when the randos don’t read and all throw down reds at our feet
Hilarious every time
>friend dials in a turret and throws it down
>out comes a 500kg bomb drop
We did not survive
How do I kill the heavy armored bug efficiently? A recoilless rifle shell to the side doesn't kill it in one hit. Carl Gustav... you let me down.
Use 1 recoiless/EAT or 2 railgun shots to break front leg armor
Then apply small arms fire to the now fleshy leg
Charger will die near instantly
This game work on my rig? ryzen 5 2600 + 5700XT
I have an ryzen 3600 and RX 6600 will it work at least full HD medium?
probably. that would get you about 50-60 fps make sure to turn down volumetrics all the way
Rocking Ryzen 5600 and RX6700 runs fine at 1080p. With Radeon Chill enabled, too.
I have a card one generation before yours, and it works out alright. Almost everything is set to high I think.
Anybody running this on a shit PC?
Looks very resource hungry and there's no demo available.
buy and refund. do a mission after the tutorial since the tutorial has stuttering issues for some reason but the normal missions are fine for me
give me one good reason to stop using the king
jump pack
why would i use that over unlimited free crowd control
I am proud of you anon for coming out as a gay
elaborate, st8 boi
Shield is pretty fricking sick
gives you time to aim down at Medium-Heavy robots, and you don't get that bullshit slowdown vs those speedhacking white moths
i hope they add splitscreen or any kind of couch coop. that would be great. i am really looking forward to the game once it's stable and i can convince some friends to play with me
also what's up with having to wait a minute before you can make your first on Ganker?
Blame Vidya Buttsman.
Have they removed gameguard yet?
Yes, it's gone. Buy the king-size imperial edition.
Steam store page still has it
no, but it removes itself when the game exits
That's still not how programs work.
It removes itself upon game's uninstall, I think. The uninstaller is packaged with the game. Having to re-install and uninstall with every boot sounds ridiculous
Is this the new flavor of the month pay-to-win game as a service slop?
Yes. I don't think the player count will be able to reach 30k a month from now.
how is the in game monetization? is it acceptable? is it p2w?
not p2w if you can clock in around 30 hours within 3.5 days and explore most shit in every mission
i wont be able to play that much most days, mostly on some evenings and it would be nice to be able to unlock some cosmetic items once in a while. if they dont keep any useful things behind a paywall then that's great.
what is it?
>what is it?
The fricking homosexual ass Boss Worm from 1.
Looks like a tremor
>is it p2w?
Nah, it's cosmetics with the same bonuses as armor you buy for in-game currency.
its p2w by every definition, fomo store, premium battle pass and I guess DLCs down the line
You don't really know what p2w is, do you?
it's only pay2win if paying money gives you an advantage. cosmetics are not p2w
it is if cosmetics give you a bonus on anything
The bonuses are literally same as in the basic armor sets.
>"Pay-to-win" or "P2W", is a pejorative term for a game that offers any advantage that can be obtained faster or exclusively via commercial transactions over gameplay rewards or the impact of the player's own performance.
>faster
Store cycles after two days or so, in that time you can easily farm the same bonuses from regular armors.
>exclusively
No such thing.
>its not pay2win because you can farm the premium currency and pay 2 win yourself
How is it pay to win if you dont have to pay anything you moron.

I watched a little gameplay, seems slow and clunky, does it feel like that?
its definitely not warframe and some of the slow stuff is deliberate. if you like your tps super responsive it might not be for you
Nice easter egg, I hope this is a tease and they put them in the game
Youre looking at the worm, Im eyeing up that mech to the left.

>Has Game Guard
Why would I install a rootkit on my PC?
I play War Thunder and other EAC games already, so an extra rootkit doesn't really make a difference.
Would this game benefit from base/defensive outpost building? Feel as though it's lacking something when compared to DRG. They have the added benefit of mining and all the additional strategies which come with that.
Not unless there's a prolonged "Objective: Survive" siege mission or something. Currently every mission except the "Kill 150/175/200 bugs" base defense ones depend on keeping your ass moving.
yeah, the wave defense missions are total dogshit and i really hope they rework them to be better
these missions should have like 'towers' you have to defend in a bigger map so you can't just turtle behind mortar sentries
They just need to be on real maps, so it has variance
not even a little bit
they could've made the wave missions waaay better with what they have right now
they could've even copied the literal Starship Troopers game with wall fortification and such
that's not what Helldivers is about
Anon it sounds like you just want to play ST, so uhhhh? Go play that? Why you tryna argue the game should fit your niche gameplay loop that you like? Bro this isn't that kinda game move on if whats here doesn't interest you cause its not gonna lmao
all I want is better wave missions, haven't even played DRG
they're quite lazy compared to the rest of the game
I don't entirely understand this, it's a miracle that we get actual variety in co-op games (especially shooters) nowadays but people just want the games to copy each other.
oh, this game sounds pretty co-
>it's in third person
nvm lol
turning it into third person was a good decision. but then i also hate top down view because you cant see shit
It's been 4 days.
Why has no one tested out if GG is harmful or not?
Me and many other potential buyers are waiting until they fix the early issues. Did gameguard frick up your PC? Does it stop running after exiting game?
Answer my questions filthy betatester guinea pigs.
Yep I've been through six PCs since launch day. Got more on the way since GG keeps melting the CPU after 30 minutes in game.
HOLY
you dumb coon people tested it on release day
it only runs while the game is open if you watch processes and it uninstalls successfully with the game
I am on day 4 and my computer is fine but I dont use it for fricking banking or "important" shit but I also have a cellphone so who cares homie
It does nothing. It never did anything before helldivers, it's a mostely dogshit anticheat.
What? Did you actually believe shitposters from the internet? you LISTENED to shazaamgays? be smarter man thats moron shit
yeah and listen to a random poster on a basket weaving forums instead
Hating on games is not a substitute for a personality. We both know that you are outrage addicted. Look in the mirror and say that you are genuinely interested in video games and not enter threads of games you don't intent buying/playing and shitting them up with inane third hand takes.
Dude GG has existed for a whole damn decade before HD2, if there was a serious fault or security fault with it, it would have been exposed far before HD2.
Like it's not good its the cheapest asain slop on the market but its not nefarious.
But an anon here said that it is nefarious.
I really don't like that armor isn't cosmetic. Standard issue armor is peak, but this trailblazer scout set is exactly what I like. Bullshit.
They really should move armor perks to its own perk slot. But that would stop whales from seeing armor in the cash shop with a perk they like and blowing $6 ($4 plus you just have to have the matching helmet!).
Yeah, won't happen. That scout set with Fortify for instance shows that niches are filled by certain armors. I'll be happy if there's ever a transmog. Wouldn't harm their monetary much. They're roping in meta slaves and cosmetic gays with this scheme.
How bad could the anticheat possibly be since the game actually runs fine on Proton? From what I understand any invasive anticheat just refuses to work on Linux.
GG just skips trying to get root access on Linux and is content to stay at the user level.
LINUX WINS??
Can anyone answer with proofs if gameguard runs in the background after you close the game?
I will buy right now if it doesn't.
install linux if it really bothers you that much. Shit if your clutching pearls about kernal level shit I'm extremely surpirsed you haven't done so already. You do know windoes 8 and up has an always running process for windows telemetry right? Microsoft has a text file with every single keystroke you've ever typed, and this shit bothers you?
cmon man I'm really sick of these questions shitting up HD2 threads
>You do know windoes 8 and up has an always running process for windows telemetry right?
not him but I disabled everything "auto" and all telemetries upon wangblow 10 install. an average Ganker user should be able to do that
This isn't the thread for this, but you can't disable the telemetry in 10. It's baked into the system, e.g. explorer.
As anon said your either ignorant and shitposting. It really is baked into the software. I tried myself, I have some ubuntu experience from working with casino software, and it's hardcoded into how your OS processes search requests, you CAN get rid of it but uhhh.... You can't really use search functions anymore just type into command fobs. Not sure what your talking about?
shits up every thread
im not even sure if its shazamgays or legitimate morons who just want to complain anonymously because every single username they've ever used is blacklisted for being a Black person
i am here so I can say Black person but god damn do I love video games
lol my post could be detached from the context of GG and it would still make sense. you told him not to believe some weird boogeyman, why should I trust you? reverse logic applies
sounds like I hit a nerve
sniff it on a VM yourself you moron, I'm sure someone concerned about security is capable of that
I'm just worried because I just got a new expensive gaming PC. 7800X3D + 7900xt
And according to Steam forums the anticheat conflicts with AMD drivers...
Will it run on my secondary rig?
>Ryzen 3600
>Sapphire 290
Maybe, might have to run into reggies and mess with LOD's but I think so. Worst offender for frames is post processing which I'm not sure you can fully disable without some things breaking gameplay wise.
Gas all shills. The west lost.
>STOP TALKING ABOUT VIDEO GAMES ON Ganker! OKAY?!!
>palworld already down to 400k
Uh oh, fotm sisters, we got too wienery...
>landing a direct hit on a bile titan with seaf mini nuke
no greater fricking feeling
>it's another "four people spamming clicks all over the map to find the one pixel you can land on" episode
The only thing I want to know is can I call down shredder missiles in this game. That is what will sell me; being able to call down nukes indiscriminately. Also being able to equip nothing but shredders and glass anything that so much as looks at me.
You can straight up Operation:Rolling Thunder and agent Orange the bugs and Viet Cong roboBlack folk
>agent Orange the bugs
I really wish the gas attack shell did more damage for how much it obscures your vision.
>complete 3 successful missions on Erata
>every time the progress goes from 0% to 0%
?
lol betatesters.
I'll get the game next weekend after it's been patched & enjoy a smooth gameplay without disconnects and hiccups.
People who preorder are fricking stupid.
have any heavy armours with bonus stims+stim duration?
that's the only option that competes with Light + bonus grenades or explosive resistance i think
How does this compared to warframe?
Warframe is weightless mobile trash.
This is a game.
Has frick all to do with warframe.
how does halo compare to terraria?
>200 kills with the Machine Gun personal order
>The support weapon that is useless outside of Medium difficulty.
I guess I'll go solo a few blitz missions.
I'm a veteran with over 1k hours in the first game.
>Mechs
Once the novelty wears out, people will stop using it besides new players because omg mechs!!1!
Helldivers meta is about completing the objectives as fast as possible, not triggering alarms (avoiding patrols or killing asap). Mechs are situational, only good for "defence" situations, they're essentially just player-controlled mobile turrets.
90% of time in HD is spent running from obj to another obj, and avoiding combat unless you need to protect something.
Based on rough terrain I wonder how well they will actually play too.
if it's like HD1 which most shit is, they will move through snow and plants at full speed but have no options for mobility beyond that
probably implement IK and call it a day. can't climb onto shit like a HD, obviously
>they're essentially just player-controlled mobile turrets.
you dont need to convince, i already love mechs.
> 90% of time in HD is spent running from obj to another obj, and avoiding combat unless you need to protect something.
yes, but that's not where the fun is. the fun isnt in activating objectives. the fun is in working together as a team and have insane and stupid shit happen to you
The "fun" you're describing gets old once you've played the game enough.
>Weeee, whacky friendly fire! xD
Here's my prediction: zoomers and twitch streamers after a few months get bored of the bug-horde shooting and move on to the next flavor of the month game.
The only people who will continue playing HD2 are the hardcore who will fight at max level and master the stealth aspect of the game, figure out the meta and best loadouts.
>The only people who will continue playing HD2 are the hardcore who will fight at max level and master the stealth aspect of the game, figure out the meta and best loadouts.
Same as HD1, yeah. Though they will probably clear max level with meme loadouts instead of meta
this and groups of friends who want the friendly fire experience
basically the same as HD1, it will be fine. I'm actually looking forward to when it drops below 10k players on steam so I never play with morons again
yeah frick enjoying games with your friends...
i dont see how going full neckbeard on the game is any fun. i have other things to do than invest all of my free time into this. i just want something to play with friends and while i am sobering up from drinking the day before.
Okay but mechs tho
I'm more looking forward to APCs and motorbikes.
>first matchmaking always get a team
>can never get people to join again
>restart game and try again, always get people
That first queue always somehow gets people but then it like bugs your lobby.
correct
also if you dont get mission rewards restarting fixes it
which one bros quick before the thread dies
Ask again tommorow.
thank you thats a good answer
these are pretty gay
I'm not sure about this light armor with explosion protection, the one from supercredit store, light armor is great with bugs, but explosion protection is great with robots, for high difficulty robots, heavy armor with explosion protection is best, right?
As someone who prefers light armor, the explosion protection seemed like a good pick for me over map pings, and this is the only set with it so far
