Game is still on rails bullshit fake mining with the same boring missions. On site refining is probably the only semi creative and fun one and it gets old after you built your 100th epic pipeline coaster.
there is already driller and robots so come play now and make sure to kill any thread of this fotmslop game you see
the last DRG update was 2 fricking years ago and it was the janny "clean up the covid infection" update >theres still only 5 objectives in the entire game >theres absolutely nothing to grind for
you DRG shills need to have a nice day, go back to your dead discord troony embracer-owned game
Sickle definitely needed a nerf like this 6 was too much as the there was barely any situation where I would go below 3 ICEs, if you can manage how you should and not just hold down like a moron you were fine
Now messing up has more impact to it lmao
Hot take: they nerfed them in the most inoffensive way. If they fricked with the damage values it would absolutely dumpster them.
Quasar you're already putting away after shooting and doing something else, 5 seconds extra is indeed rough but it can still do what it did before, same with the sickle just don't overheat like a tard. Also you should be hotswapping Quasars in holdout scenarios anyway
>shoot enemy with autocannon >game hardcoded to bounce the bullet back directly into me regardless of angle
Funny haha reddit moment, epic meme my devs.
>Quasar you're already putting away after shooting and doing something else, 5 seconds extra is indeed rough but it can still do what it did before
Well, no, because now that I fire the Quasar half as many times as I used to each fight, everyone in the party is required to take one in order to defeat armor. This isn't some kind of quirky MMO with DPS meters, the armored enemies must be dealt with or everyone dies to them. And nobody wants to take the Recoilless Rifle or EATS when they both feel worse to fire than the Quasar. So really, this just returns us to the era of mandating that every squadmate takes an anti-armor weapon. A lot of patch notes come out yet the same problem still remains.
Good thing about bots is you can just walk away or kite walkers from shit and basically skillshot everything else. Bug gays probably have it rough and need infininade.
Sickle was a literal upgrade over the liberator. Now the liberator got a slight buff and you'll have to be more careful of mag dumping with the sickle.
Diff 4 is fricked up now. That's where I liked to go for a casual solo romp while I listened to a podcast or something cuz any lower would be too boring and doesn't have heavies and any harder is too hard.
Because it's a balancing act of challenge and fun as opposed to just being a sandbox, hence why people play helldive and not just suicide despite having the exact same content, just more enemies. Buffing all weapons in essence just reduces difficulty, so you might as well just make enemies weaker or less numerous. You also need weapons to feel proportionally strong to what they do. There's not much point to a pump action shotgun that kills in one shot if it's immediately compared to the assault rifle next to it that also kills in one, and there really isn't a way to make them "equal" without reducing the assault rifle to not kill in one shot.
>the only thing they did to the tesla tower was buff its health >by barely anything
Genuinely the most useless defense item. Bugs and bots just walk right past it if they don't take it out in one hit. The only thing it's good for is getting glue gobbling public lobby players to execute themselves.
Tesla tower completely shits on bug swarms as long as a charger/BT don't 1 shot it. Tesla tower+EMS mortar made the termicide missions nearly an AFK farm.
>Didn't fix fire damage not working unless you're host
It's time to take a nice long break from this game. Especially until Swedes get their shit together and stop trying to dictate how we play their game
It took them months to fix the PS5 damage bug. Don't forget that they nerfed the railgun and the arc thrower because people were 2-shotting bile titans with both of them.
>because people were 2-shotting bile titans with both of them.
it was a oneshot if you aim at the head which was definitely intentional but they keep changing their fricking minds
>People are not going to stop pointing out if something is shit if it hasn't been fixed yet.

Then I take great joy in critisizing someone who is not paid to to deal with it.
same, I genuinely enjoy the game but I keep running into constant bugs and issues
also the ricochet change is just straight up unfun. It don't mind it if it happens once in a blue moon if I'm angled just right since it could be funny, but I'm already being punished for limited ammo waste and the heavy is still alive, now I just straight up die for missing slightly?
I dunno why these devs insist on just nerfing tons of shit, I get they don't want shit to be too OP but I never really feel safe even with the fairly reliable weapons so far

People waste 100GB of hard drive space for THIS?
I will accept many idiotic design decisions and developer stupidity if the actual game is still fun. Fun is, at the end of the day, the final judgement to whether a game is worth playing or not.
And this is what's driving the industry towards MTX, GaaS and gacha shit.

You're welcome, homosexual. Voting with my wallet doesn't work and I'm not dumb enough to have an aneurysm on Twitter or Discord, so I'm gonna have fun with what I can.
helldivers plays like an arcade game which is great.
you can always boot it up for quick match, or you can go for a long match and get immerssed.
Its not that great for playing all day long, its more good for a one hour session here and there
not enough content for the hardcore I want to grind all day players at this point.
if you dont like it you dont like it, but it is undeniably a good game.
for me to overlook a shitty ingame store it has to be pretty damn decent (btw nothing but two bonds are worth anything and the two are easily unlocked)

RoR2 is significantly inferior to the first imo so it was the perfect fit for my "genre" description. As long as HD2 doesn't completely restrict your choice of gameplay to the one faction no one wants to fight like HD1 did more than a few times I'd say it's objectively better just for that alone

you're 100% right and don't take the gaslighting from the poopsockers in this thread.
getting 3 friends to even stick with you 100 hours is a difficult challenge. almost all my friends jumped from this game to the next FOTM game the millisecond they could, in my case it was content warning.

When it came to DRG I've sunk tons of time with them at least a couple hundred, and I played like 100+ hours with one of my friends on Monster Hunter World. It's just Darktide didn't seem to stick around so long and I don't have high hopes for Helldivers 2 faring better considering the current state of the game.

Yeah a lot of people didn't like that one too much. When they first mentioned it I thought they were joking. Then I saw gifs of in-game tests and thought it was an april fools day thing.
I could boot it up tomorrow personally. I like arcade things with rng. hd2 is pretty god damn broken in comparison as a sequel.
It doesn't help RoR2 shit out one half-hearted nothing DLC and then Hopoo bailed for that sweet sweet Gearbox money. At least DRG went through a few years and then four fortnite battle pass seasons before throwing up their hands and going "FRICK IT we can't think of anything else to do with this concept"

take actual ordinance as your heavy. I trust machine gun noobs over quasar canon or laser cannon homosexuals
I'm imagining thousands of players uploading videos of setting themselves on fire in game to protest, the patch gets completely rolled back, and then the next patch is absolutely worse in every conceivable way.
The new update fricking sucks, roll it back to the old one
New deactivate the bug tower mission is nice for farming XP/medals tho. Super easy on diff 9 and short as well
>don't ragdoll >your character kneels out of respect and takes 30% health >ragdoll >character flops around like a moron; hits their head and neck on every rock on the way down and ends up full bending their neck as they land on a sharp rock >5% health
no thanks I'd rather ragdoll quicker. in fact, i'd like a ragdoll button
unironically when I was SC farming I'd try and grenade jump to fling myself in the direction of POIs and lose health to spam stims for stamina
if you dive at just the right time, you can fling yourself a good 20-30 feet
If you find the boobies (I don't know what they are) that explode, you can shoot them while diving to get flung 100-150 feet. Great escape plan and catch-up tool.
They're called puffballs and are a real kind of mushroom, though the real ones are much smaller. They build up pressurized spheres of spores and then explode them to spread.
THE UPDATE JUST KILLED THIS FOTM SLOP GAME AND NAZIHEAD REFUSES TO BACK DOWN ON THEIR TERRIBLE DECSION MAKING. DRG AND GHOST SHIP GAMES ARE FAR SUPERIOR IN EVERY ASPECT AND YOU SHOULD PLAY DEEP ROCK GALACTIC NOW! ROCK AND STONE
In the personnel evac missions, you used to be able to grab loads of rare samples instead of doing the mission itself, and they'd come in clusters of 9+, so it was easy to find them all. You'd fail the mission on purpose just to grind out 30 commons, 30 rares, and however many supers. Now it's just 10 commons and the supers.
>worse than the punisher in general
I disagree because the arc blitzer can kill armored units much easier.
With the punisher I have to aim between the feet of hive guard and can't do much to bile spewers.
The blitzer just kills hive guards and can reliably stagger a bile spewer off its spit and kill them with 4 headshot hits.
Plus the spread means you can effectively hold a position (assuming no charger/bile titan comes) indefinitely while a punisher will give way when you need to reload.
The advantage the punisher has is that its better at killing shrieks (which it isn't amazing but also not too bad at it).
Maybe its better at killing the pouncers but I haven't had a pouncer map since the update to test.
I didn't really think about vs armored bugs, but yeah I can see that being the case. Normally I like to pair the punisher with something like the HMG or GL for the medium bugs, so I didn't consider that.
I got no clue at all.
4 was just the the number that seemed to be most consistent when I was playing.
Though initially it was taking a bit more because I was circling them and some were hitting the sides not the head.
Backing up seems to be more consistent as it keeps the head in front.
The one thing that did annoy me is that if the bile spewer goes into its artillery mode you can't hit the head and it takes forever to break the sac.
it's usable now, i wouldn't call it good.
it's recoil is more manageable and it's ammo is slightly better. so if those were your issues with it then you will like it
>Is adjudicator good now?
Not at all. >And is spear still broken

Are you not having fun with extra deadly melt you by smelling it fire? How about a game mechanic that "randomly" deflects 1% of your rounds straight back into your face. Maybe you need more though. Just upgrade your ship modules, it probably won't change anything but you can spend resources. Just make sure you use light armor and close range weapons to play the way you want us to want you to play.

Thanks, I hate it. AH maintains their glaring moronation and even brings it up to another level entirely.
The Spear was inconsistent about killing them since the beginning. Even if your Spear shot hit a BT's head it wouldn't necessarily kill it. If it failed to land on a Charger's head, it also wouldn't kill it.
while some of the changes were expected, a lot of them came from seemingly out of nowhere. wherever they're getting their notes for buffs/nerfs/changes, it's definitely not places like there (obviously) or that share opinions to here.
dunno man, i havent not locked anything since the patch dropped, although now it doesnt lock onto chargers and titans faces but their sides resulting in not killing them
>WAAAAAAAAGH THEY NERFED MY FAVORITE GUN
Balance is important, frick off. I see no one happy about the great buffs we got, especially to the punisher plasma.

The FOTM Slop posters have evolved to DRG falseflaggers.
The shooting is amazing
I'm sick of pretending Helldivers is not an amazing game under its surface.
Because under its surface, you have MGSV
And MGSV was a really, really fun game. It's only real crime is all the execution that was wasted with it being rushed.
yeah dude, I'm glad they took notes from the phantom pain with the general movement system and first person when ADS. just wish half the gun sights were actually fricking aligned.
mechanics are MGSV. The design is literally the uncharted worlds idea from Mass Effect. Right down to the side objectives/elements whatever you have to discover along the way.
The reused assets/mission structure is identical too
That's great and all but the people running the show:
1) Literally cannot code And do not know how their game works.
2) Don't play the game.
Maybe in an alternate universe where the swedecucks weren't allowed to make it, it could have worked, but I doubt it. Arrowhead's jank is basically half the endearing factor. Shame that the Black folk who own arrowhead are probably worth half a billion at this point.
Quasar is still good tho
The problem is that the other Anti tank options besides the EAT suck ass.
RR? Quasar is just that but you can move
Railgun? terrible, still.
EAT's are the only half-decent option but they're interrupted by the drop sequence. Great to have but the chance of having them is exceedingly low at the moment you need them.
>can barely spot stalkers until they're right on you now
doesn't seem like you can even mark them on the map unless you get the radar or are near by.
tried rushing a stalker nest by myself and got thrashed.
i was so spooked i didn't dare run back for my stuff.
>invisible enemy >it's big >fast >does a lot of damage >and has a shitload of health
I actually love stalkers conceptually (and their design is cool too) because this is the total opposite of how just about anyone would design a stealth enemy.
Stalkers are basically the only threat buggays face. I'd honestly want stalkers to be regular spawns at this point because otherwise bugs are boring as frick.
>I'd honestly want stalkers to be regular spawns at this point
If you have any hives (shrieker/stalker) intact when you call for evac, a few should join in on the assault waves
>see that dumbass Bic White Out silhouette scurrying around in the distance >start shooting it >2 seconds later see 2 green laser sights lock onto it >still takes like 5+ seconds to kill with 3 of us hitting it

I wish there was a planet modifier that increased the heavy spawn rate and kept the fodder to a minimum. The game is at its best when you and a couple other randos are picking apart a huge bastard.
They're good in how much of a crisis threat they are. Not so common as to be a 24/7 enemy like bile titans, but very much a >They show up >drop everything to find and kill their nest
I'd not want them to become a regular enemy, but if you removed their stealth for the regular enemy (not the nest one) then that'd be fine. Right now the main horde lacks a high end medium tier nimble enemy. It's small jumpy boys,

Is adjudicator good now? And is spear still broken
Adjudicator went from absolute trash worst of the worst to just a sub-optimal gun. Recoil is fine if crouched/prone and in armor, but the damage and mag size is not commiserate. A dominator or scorcher will be better. It just isn't worth it because those two do better. So I am sure eventually either will continue to get nerfed because bork bork bork meatballers can't decide if this game is some roguelike ballbuster or not.
I don't expect it'll be -killed- dead, to like sub 1000 players, and frankly if they keep belting out content then they will be able to keep it fairly lively (What's there to compete gainst? Darktide lmao?). Honestly my complaints are just that - you can see the incredible potential and FUN of the game, so anger at the devs is "why are you guys ruining such a great product". This nerf-cycle was not as apocalyptic as it could have been but there's still a feeling of "Yeah adding +5 piddly damage and then 50% less magazines or dramatically cutting back explosion radius" is not balance. I don't want an artificial cycle of buff-nerf to vary things up, but at a minimum just make sure a patch has a lot of really nice buffs so people have new toys to re-try rather than just something they like getting gimped. I forget which nerf cycle it was that did that, I think the breaker where the laser cannon and somethign else got buffed so it wasn't just "yeah this gun sucks now that's it k bye".
Quasar is still good tho
The problem is that the other Anti tank options besides the EAT suck ass.
RR? Quasar is just that but you can move
Railgun? terrible, still.
EAT's are the only half-decent option but they're interrupted by the drop sequence. Great to have but the chance of having them is exceedingly low at the moment you need them.
They just need to get their head out of their ass and make the RR support reloads be possible from the gunner's own backup. Which, given meatball code, probably isn't possible lel lmao.

>I wish there was a planet modifier that increased the heavy spawn rate and kept the fodder to a minimum.
When we were doing the new terminid mission today, not knowing what to expect, the initial silence of it all made it feel like a horror-stalker game. That would be a pretty fricking cool planet mutation: just stalkers, much much stronger but also lower in volume. So you end up feeling like it's predator or xenomorphs.
hopefully they actually learn and have a buff update as they do seem like they may learn, at least the devs although it seems like the community managers are being smarmy gays about it.

Don't forget the new defense mission having visible collision boxes on the rocks. That's something that would appear every time the map is loaded. Usually people say "devs don't even test their game" when shit is just buggy but this game is one of the few cases where it is 100% true
>they do not do testing at all. That's the only explanation for
To me feels like they do not have a staging environment to test stuff, specially considering most of the serious bugs come from the PS5 side where publishing is more restricted due to Sony's approval processes.
They said on redit that they have PAID 150 play testers.
I have a feeling some neets are just getting payed to play videogames and not actually do anything.
How else did nobody notice none of the 4 upgrades in that one patch working correctly?
Actually sounds awesome. They were way too easy to spot in both daytime and nighttime settings. Now just give them little glowing eyes like bloodsuckers in SoC.
Why, the Eruptor of course. >will destroy fabricators from a distance >can remove shield devastator's gun arms in one shot from a distance >good for multigibbing close knit enemies >can frick up striders (will be more difficult post nerf, however)
>post-nerf can't shoot into bot turret emplacements to take them out nearly as consistently >the only tight-knit enemies are berserkers, but that's still a decent deal >fricking ricochet instakills if your shrapnel grazes a minigunner shield
it's still a miniature AC so it's my favorite despite how they removed the absurdly large (and entertaining) explosion radius on an EXPLOSIVE WARBOND WEAPON but I definitely don't like this patch. What a stupid way to handle ricochets, who thought making them autoaim instakills was a good idea
I haven't seen the ricochet yet, but I think the devs just shitily worded it to mean "ricochet now hurts instead of just passing through"
Shot a hiveguard with an eruptor from well outside of Eruptor shrapnel range and I died instantly through 150 AR + Fortified armor the same frame the direct hit flinched the hiveguard. It's sadly real.
>who thought making them autoaim instakills was a good idea
Swedish developers thinks what makes the game fun is how often you die, they find that hilarious. (not kidding)
Swedes really are on another level of incompetence, it'd be almost charming if my patience for the Swede wasn't completely drained by Payday 2's shenanigans (and Payday 3's death on arrival)
this new ice planet is a shitshow. playing on lvl 7, 2-3 stalker nests per mission. im level 35, just played two rounds with level 50s & got our shit rocked both times. lol
you can hit the green bits on the spewer with the sickle and it'll die.

You could say the same with every weapon. Bile spewers usually come in packs and you'll be completely out of ammo for your sickle if you're wasting shots instead of using a grenade or a different weapon entirely.
Infinite nade glitch. Spam strat button while trying to throw nade you have IN HAND NOT QUICK THROW AND YOU NEED AT LEAST 1 TO START.
no the patch notes are wrong, the value underflows to 4 billion now instead of counting down past 0 because the swedes are dumb Black folk that don't know what saturating arithmetic is.
Some people swear you need to spam aim down sight and strategem button to make it work. Doesn't matter anyhow. Eventually the game will let you toss your zeroth and you're good to go.
It's not patched. People are just getting underflows because they made nade counter an unsigned integer so instead of negative nades you get 4 billion nades. Reddit cucks confirmed it too if you don't believe me. These morons don't understand or play their own game.

great patch swedes
The linear patrol thing makes no sense to me. One helldiver can't fully saturate the battlefield with endless lead. 2 can at least cover each other and do tandem antibig duty.
3? Ok you're basically playing the game and shouldn't have problems.
Having 1 player deal with a 1/4th the spawn of patrols is moronic. Honestly, I'd go further and say I imagine the swedecucks fricked it up anyhow and solo players probably get even more enemies than 4 man teams given their brilliant track record of making the most broken unintended consequence bugs humanly possible.
>Considering most pubbies can't clear diff 6 missions, idk what they are thinking with this one
They're trying to discourage soloing and encourage quick matching and filling out lobbies in an extremely heavy handed manner. Personally I blame whatever dumbass on the team keeps trying to act like team reloading is a good mechanic, I wouldn't be surprised if he hates solo play.
>Play "Destroy ALL THE EGGS" mission >Pelican glitches out and can't extract, mission timer hits and Pelican fricks off while we're spending 10+ minutes fighting bugs the entire wait.
Welp. Goodbye samples.
Why did the devs add a random chance of you just dying when shooting enemies (ricochet)? What did they mean by this? What does this accomplish? How does this add positively to the game in any way?
>Why did the devs add a random chance of you just dying when shooting enemies (ricochet)? What did they mean by this? What does this accomplish? How does this add positively to the game in any way?
have you actually played the game
Anons. I have a question. Would people be interested in "private servers" helldivers 2? It seems pretty clear that arrow shit won't fix their game and if we pool our skills together we might be able to binary patch this shit heap and also have private servers with no aids. Does anyone know how much of the game is determined by the player machine vs the servers?
Reminder they indirectly nerfed the AC and by extension all explosive weapons due to the new ricochet mechanic. This new mechanic allows shrapnel to bounce back but the problem is that it is also homing and kills you 99% of the time or other players. Not mentioned in the patch notes btw. Fricking homosexual devs were too scared to post a AC nerf
Your aim is probably shit, it's happend to me three times vs hulks with the AC, and 5+ on shield frickers when I missed the head and clipped the shield.
How many bots do you think I got through yesterday anon.
At least 100+ hulks, frick tons of devs.
If your aim is shit and you miss terribly instead of only a little bit you don't get the same ricochets. The flat part on the edge of the weakspot is what reflects 180 degrees.
Same with the shield, which is far easier to hit due to there being so many more of them.
Still can't get over how shit the scythe is even with the buff. I would prefer it to have way more damage but worse heat sinks if it would let me kill scavengers faster than they could crawl to me.
You changed it, and now its less accurate. Why would arc / flamer look at air burst like that? Should be airburst being looked at by RR / AC because they are the backpack ones.
>decide to try out the gun buffs and nerfs >plasma punisher feels way better, but slightly inconsistent with damage now >dagger still sucks, but not at bad, at least it can kill scavs, leapers, and even hunters somewhat easily >scythe actually feels much better, can actually sweep it over hordes and get some kills, scope and heat capacity needs to be better though >lascannon is definitely better against chaff, but you can feel the nerf against heavier enemies >exploding crossbow is just hot garbage now, requires a full magazine to kill mediums, splash is incredibly small with severe falloff, it might not even be doing explosive damage anymore
Also is it just me, or did they increase the explosive resistance of bile spewers? Feels like they take more to pop now.
Just toyed with the adjudicator and it feels good to use but I don't think it's fantastic. You chew through ammo pretty quickly but effortlessly killing hiveguards and one shotting scavs feels good. Haven't fought bots yet with it.
What happened to upgrading strategems? It feels like 99% of the problems people have would disappear overnight if we could just get mark 2's and 3's of some of the better stuff.
Shield frickers almost always reflect 180 if theyre facing you dead on, absolute nightmare, 30mm explosive shells don't do that irl unless they go through something, in which case they should explode unless really unlucky.
When trying to snipe hulk headshots I've had it happen once already. I main AC so it's been a kick in the nuts, alongside the other minor nerfs it's got indirectly to other bots.
Anyone that says 180 ricochets are realistic need shooting, they exist as a rarity, most will bury into the armor or shatter, but even the rare ones that do penetrate but get flung around 180degrees not this common, video games have mobs that are directly 0 degrees facing us due to coding limitations so yeah of course it will happen more in a game.
No idea why they nerfed the guard dog. No one uses it in the first place unless they don't have better gear. Not only does it need ammo replenished, now it's even more useless.
The Laser Guard Dog is actually bugged and has infinite ammo.
The MG Guard Dog is how they're both supposed to be.
But the Laser infinite ammo is a hardcoded glitch they can't fix yet so they're handling it like they handled fire damage and just leaving it as-is and nerfing it until enough people complain.
i still don't know all the names of the enemies >stalker (forgot which one) >bile titan >spewer (two types) >scout >hulk >devastator >charger >shrieker
that's about it, but frick that shit because you just gotta kill 'em all
I kind of wish they didn't have real names so that every friend group just makes their own designations. I still use my own even if they are mostly just copied warhammer names. Inevitably there would be community standard ones but in my magical world every group has their own language.
Automatons: >Raider (single pistol) >MG Raider (assault rifle) >Rocket Raider (bazooka) >Brawler (two swords) >Commissar (sword and pistol) >Assault Raider (jetpack) >Marauder (x-shaped backpack and machine gun) >Berserker >Scout Strider >Devastator >Heavy Devastator >Rocket Devastator >Scorcher Hulk (flamethrower and buzzsaw) >Bruiser Hulk (autocannon and missile launcher) >Obliterator Hulk (two autocannons) >Annihilator Tank >Shredder Tank >Cannon Tower >Command Bunker >Gunship >Factory Strider
I wish I bothered to screencap the anon talking about how he was killed by a tank in diff4, then arguing about whether or not tanks spawn in 4 with another anon, only to eventually post this screencap of a "tank"
>Try out EATs again after using the quasar for so long
My eyes are open again, holy frick it's so much better it's not even funny. You can easily chuck it in front of you then 180 to blow up whatever's chasing you and the fact it doesn't have to charge up a shot feels great. I'm sorry team for ever picking quasar, I was throwing.
The best part about it is you can take it along with anything else, it will always do work, and you never feel slighted if someone else grabs your rocket (no homo).
>and you never feel slighted if someone else grabs your rocket (no homo)
I recently ran into a situation where this wasn't true. >Bot mission >Running through an open area >Multiple patrols descend upon us and we're stuck in a shallow ditch >In the distance, a turret aggros to use and can hit us in the ditch >But I just dropped my EATs >Land the first one >As I go to grab the second one, a teammate grabs it and immediately shoots a devastator >Mfw >Two seconds later, get instagibbed by the turret
>enemy heavy appears >need to throw down a strategem, wait 10 seconds, go to where it landed, pick it up, aim, shoot, pick up a second one, aim, shoot, then pick up your original support weapon
>any other anti-armor support weapon >aim, shoot, done
Don't really get the EAC love.
If you're struggling with that you can try hit the charger with the drop itself.
Apparently the stratagem balls attach to chargers but I've not tried yet.
Either way 1 shot every 35s and needing to call it in every time is still inferior to the quasar, even with the nerf.
My biggest issue with 8-9 preciously used to be permanent heavies that I don't have the ammo to take out so I had to rely on baiting then into 500kg, which isn't the easiest for me yet.
Also playing on PS5 is aids, controllers just can't deal with the enemies with the same point click ammo efficiency, especially with all the controller feedback. Apparently turning on gyro aiming helps, but idk I guess I like to sit on my side to play sometimes.
>enemy heavy appears >need to throw down a strategem, wait 10 seconds, go to where it landed, pick it up, aim, shoot, pick up a second one, aim, shoot, then pick up your original support weapon
>any other anti-armor support weapon >aim, shoot, done
Don't really get the EAC love.
Just imagine how I feel as a RR user
You eventually get to the point where the 5s reload is trivially easy to get (especially since it can be staggered!)
In a practical sense- with randos- I delete Chargers/Hulks the moment they are seen, with a BT taking 6s to down depending on if my ritual sacrifices are accepted by arrow head, 12s if not
Its like having access to 3 EATs at any time, limited only by your ability to hog ammo!
I really wanted to like the Quasar, but not only does it have baked in cooldown- you have to keep your aim steady for 5s...
I'd rather just reload behind cover, strat, or teammate tbqh.
Yeah its a stationary reload- but staggering it allows you to dodge and dive the EXACT same way one does with a Quasar (albeit with a higher skill ceiling)
On harder difficulties I regularly packdump my RR with few complaints by the team about resupply hording(A BT hasn't spewed once in the 30 min helldive/the Gunship towers have mysteriously disappeared)
Only 8 samples in 6 missions, wth is with every moron that find funny to kill the team at the end of the match now? , I just wanted 20 rares to finish my upgrade
I only play with friends but when we had a rando join us I intentionally waited until he boarded to get on board myself. I know the meatball fricks won't do anything but that kind of homosexualry honestly does warrant addressing. Or maybe just making it so you can't snipe people inside of the ship. But that may be too much to ask of bork bork bork coders.
40+ minutes to clear all map and some homosexual just used napalm on the pelican and start throwing stun grenades at the team, almost want to uninstall due to how normal this is now, what is the point of playing if you don't get nothing?
I aint playing this game anymore after these nerfs
the fact even premium weapons aren't safe from these nerfs is the line, literally steeling money from people >warbond comes out >people get the new gun >oh wow this is a fun weapon >let it build hype for a few weeks >cool I'll pay $10 USD and use the weapon as well >NERFED

Dude they set a very generous pick up rate for medal and super credit comparing the standard you see in other live service game. You should be able to earn everything at a decent rate, if are not a boomer with 3 kid or a wagie. If anything the super credit it more of a normie/wagie tax. It took them month to finally patch out the SC farm exploit, and even then it wasn’t fully removed. They also didn’t ban anyone who obviously abuse the shit out of it, since they can easily check whether buy them or use exploit gather SC as a ridicules rate. Not to sound like a full shill, but you got to give credit when company don’t go full greedy shit head.

love the game. got about 200 hours in it. think I'm gonna take a break for a few months though and check it out later. these constant nerfs to everything I find fun are getting old. not having fun anymore.
just completed a diff 7 and extracted without dying once.
Havent had this much fun with a new game in a long while, my biggest issue and its more of an autism issue is that when the character I drop in with dies and I get reinforced I kinda lose interest because "I" am dead
hate it when i get teamkilled before extraction or something makes me reeee internally
Fire damage only sometimes doesnt work for non-hosts btw
I play with the incendiary grenades and my friend uses all fire build
Both of our fire does damage, though I'm 50% non-hosts do reduced damage or something
>8 mins left >entire team is alive and next to extraction zone >get to the escape shuttle >it just fricking dips and leaves the rest of the team behind
Why do they keep doing the nerf and buff carousel while bugs like this are still around?
It happens if the Pelican takes too much damage apparantly. I've seen it happen a few times too. morons kept dropping 500kg bombs directly on extract and the pilot left their asses behind. Kek
Now that the Counter Sniper got giga-buffed, I find zero reason to bring the AMR with me anymore, instead I replaced it with the Railgun, my designated Hulk eraser
why is it always some larping going on when i see anything about this game "LOL DUDE LEAKED GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS!!! LOL THE BAD BUG MEN DONT FLY ITS JUST A LIE, LIKE THE CAKE!!! LOL THE PRESIDENT OF EARTH IS GIVING US A NEW MISSION HOLY SHIT GUYS EPIC!!!"
You know the ayys run super earth right?

There's no winning with senator users
If you see someone waiting like that, kill them first problem solved. The fact that the game lets people kill people sitting in the shuttle with no consequences is literally aids.
I wait a distance from the pelican for this reason alone, they're always dumb morons that stand away from the pelican and ADS at me.
I always catch the frickers first and grab any samples they have unless they're host, not risking it.
>Tell me how it does against Gunships.
now that you mention it...8 near fully charged shots to the thruster to down one...Ah nevermind, that's the autocannon-ers job, not mine 🙂 My job is killing devastators and hulks
That sounds similar to what it was before this patch.
Maybe it's also 8 on safe mode?
Either way it's clearly not the best option but frick it I'll give it a shot later.
Does the flame ship module increase direct spray damage on the FW? I was told the FW cone doesn't actually deal fire damage and that's why it works for non hosts.
There's a difference between the direct fire damage (when holding down the trigger) and the fire DoT (when an enemy/player is on fire). The module only buffs the latter and the latter is still bugged and only works for the host.
We've heard your concerns over flame hulks doing too much damage and have fixed the issue by reducing fire damage.
This includes (You)'re damage as well of course because spaghetti code. Blah Blah Blah we're also nerfing your favorite gun because frick you.
You're the democracy officer's slave. Almost all the lore talks about how you're not allowed in his personal sauna or swimming pool on the super dreadnaught.

Nah but a common trope in space futuristic stuff is that all humans got some level of melanin added through genetic augmentation (good for space flight due to increased heat radiation and protection from UV radiation exposure), but they kept the other genes. But realistically its because they're Swedish cuck devs, at least it was a WMBF in the opener instead of the usual BMWF trope.
It's the shape of the faces you have to look at really, thats what will determine what race they are in this type of future.
i farmed a decent amount just running trivial missions, breaking into the destructible crates you find at POIs, and then disconnecting.
you used to be able to find a favorable seed and farm it, but that is sadly patched now
I crashed 7 time yesterday.
Every single time I was in a t7 bot ice world, was sniping bots with my sickle halfway across the map on a crossfire for my team, and could see a dead enemy that had decided to become stretched out into the sky a little bit, glitching a lovely no texture purple.
Every single time it was 30m into a mission, I was hoarding the samples because crossfire sniping is safer and I always end up with 2.5x the kills of my team, kill all the small bots so they can't call in bot drop, and kill half their heavies with a quasar.
No it's not my PS5, the game is just unable to handle those ranges sometimes for some reason anymore.
Constantly. Like 1/2 of my bot games have me crash near the end and its always bots. Never bugs though, bugs seem more stable.
1 person always disconnects too 15mins in every single game even if I'm not host kek, I rarely leave a game with all 4 that I started with.
I'm not enjoying the increased spawn rate of mobs either, someone said were getting twice the breach and drop rates too, alongside a 56% increase in patrols for solo and I feel it, I get absolutely swarmed on bugs regardless of where I drop now too on some planets before I can even consider stealth, getting that under control or escaping with random is tough even on 7 that I dropped down to recently so I tried solo, which also got "nerfed".
I get the idea of linear scaling, but I don't have all the buffs of a 4 man squad or the adaptability of 4 guys specialised loadouts, so solo is becoming a bit too difficult at the moment for me, combined with the extra drops and it's a bit nutty.
>56% increase in patrols for solo
I don't play solo and even I think this is bullshit. They haven't even relaunched the distraction stratagem from the first game.
I play duo only and we definitely notice an increase in patrols but it's manageable with two people. The way AH explained it makes it sounds like we would get less patrols than a solo player.
>in private game with friends >mis-input reinforce call, get SOS instead since they're one input difference >rando homosexuals join the match >this is the fourth time I've done this in a single month

>richochet change >slightly off a shot >not only waste your shot, the heavy is fine/little damage and you straight up die and potentially kill nearby teammates >so now you have to respawn, get your shit again and try again hoping you're not slightly off again
can someone explain to me how is this more fun?
like yeah, I should just aim better, but it just feels like a really arbitrary penalty
Apparently we are playing the game wrong by having fun shooting robots and bugs. Apparently we are supposed to suffer and constantly be aggravated by stupid game mechanics that insta-kill us at random.
it's really such a disorienting change - one that I feel is currently understated. I can't imagine one person who thought "hmm, you know what's missing? constant threat of death if you don't hit an enemy's weakspot."
I feel genuinely confused how such a change not only entered a developer's mind, but was actually implemented through the spaghetti code that prevents simple changes like the spear's lock on function to remain unfixed for months. The person who made the change had a vision, and that vision was player suffering.
The change to stalkers is pretty aids too, heaven forbid you get randoms that can't deal with them.
Finding the base is just "search for this shaped rock within 300m" rather than actually tracking them back to their base now as the devs stated we should be doing.
It feels like a constant game of >Hey players, do the thing >Wait the players are doing the thing. They're doing the thing EXTREMELY WELL >Stop them from doing the thing!
Apparently we are playing the game wrong by having fun shooting robots and bugs. Apparently we are supposed to suffer and constantly be aggravated by stupid game mechanics that insta-kill us at random.

I am not apologetic, it definitely sucks that they introduce a lot of new bugs everytime and don't test their shit but this whiny attitude of >whaa they hate us, they hate fun!
is so fricking annoying. behave like a man, not like some crying teenager.
>make a legitimate complaint about a mechanic that's happening >oh the devs mentioned on discord they're going to fix it, don't be dramatic
Ok? It's still in the game and it's not like we know when the devs are going to fix it considering they still haven't fixed shit like fire damage not working properly for anyone not host or how the game just breaks when you're using FPS mode.
And I'm not skimming through their fricking discord to find out if they're going to fix something they should have actually playtested a bit.
>make a legitimate complaint about a mechanic that's happening
You're impotent whining is far from legitimate. Don't be such a sissy.
It's a stupid bug, yes but not a personal attack you mong.
>I am not apologetic, it definitely sucks that they introduce a lot of new bugs everytime and don't test their shit but this whiny attitude of >is so fricking annoying. behave like a man, not like some crying teenager.
that sounds incredibly apologetic to me.
a dev's goal should be to introduce the least amount of bugs into their game. so when they have a number of game-breaking bugs and they stack more on top of that, they're in fact stating that they hate you
>>It's a stupid bug, yes but not a personal attack you mong.
I never said it was a personal attack? I'm criticizing the devs for not fixing shit or implementing even more bugs and implementing a mechanic that supposedly isn't even working properly.
Do you want me to coddle them and tell them "Oh they'll fix it soon enough I'm sure :)"
It's not my job to sugarcoat it. I'm not sending devs death threats or personally insulting them, I just think the direction they are going is misguided at best, moronic at the worst.
And it's not like they'll ever read this shit, aside from a rando employee on his phone on the shitter.
>add annoying new feature >don't playtest it
How are you guys so apologetic and submissive all the time? this sounds WAY FRICKING WORSE than your actual strawman. Nice self portrait.
I'll never understand how the people that code these mechanics and relationships between weapons and enemies+maps are even worse at the game they've created than the average normalhomosexual that picks up then drops the game all on a whim. Back in the oldschool, devs would playtest their games over and over again and make them harder because they got used to the mechanics and thought audiences would beat it too damn fast like they did. Now you have people like the DBD dev who got absolutely clowned on and destroyed by the flashlight meta he said didn't exist and webms like the HD2 one you replied to.

>is in change log >nah it's a bug bro, trust me
So I guess the devs knew about this new bug, shipped the patch with it and boast about it in the change logs, or your just a Black personhomosexual.
>getting 3 friends to even stick with you 100 hours is a difficult challenge.
When it came to DRG I've sunk tons of time with them at least a couple hundred, and I played like 100+ hours with one of my friends on Monster Hunter World. It's just Darktide didn't seem to stick around so long and I don't have high hopes for Helldivers 2 faring better considering the current state of the game.
i'm glad oyu mentioned it because the same happened with darktide
Yeah I know, I've head my fair share of ricochets from the AC pop other helldivers, fortunately everyone but one has taken it with humor.

You're just stupid.

All I'm saying is that the devs are dumb and incompetent (I already said that multiple times now, I wonder how this is still me defending them. please explain) but that they don't hate the players and that they are not acting out of malice.
We're sitting at a table and a waiter brings our food and he slips and falls every time.
You suddenly start crying that the waiter hates you when it's obvious that he's just a moron that picked the wrong carreer.
You reaction is just wrong considering what is currently happening. You're conflating stupidtiy with malice but you also seem to enjoy doing it.

People are not going to stop pointing out if something is shit if it hasn't been fixed yet. It shouldn't take more than a day for a full team to fix these new interactions given they knew of its existence before shipping out this slop, and yet there is no fix. Curious...
Or maybe the devs should playtest their game and ship the patch without introducing new bugs? >muh sensitive
It's a product that you pay money for to play it. What kind of cucked mentality is this?
If the devs are incompetent, they should unfrick themselves or take more time to fix their mess instead of introducing more problems.
Just how fricking dense are you?
Calling AHs stupid morons that make too many mistakes and deliver a bad service is totally fine and I subscribe to that idea.
But crying >devs actually hate us! >they did it on purpose!
is dramatic sissy homosexual talk from a paranoid little c**t.

What's the point of the Diligence? Not the Counter Sniper, that one's the specific sniper primary now, but the ordinary Diligence? It seems redundant and pointless.
More ammo, less recoil, only slightly less damage, 25m minimum zero vs 50 on the counter.
You're right that both shouldn't exist together. The game's full of moronic decisions.
I found the counter sniper is slower to move too, with the diligence I have no problem quickly moving from target to target but with the counter it takes a moment longer for the circle to meet the dot.
When will they allow team reload with the same guy having the launcher and the backpack
It makes no fricking sense, how is the reloader even grabbing the ammo from his own back? A fast reload would require him to take the ammo from the other's backpack
i dont mind it because it adds to the tension except for the fricking door
nothing is more frustrating then my teammate trying to kill the endless waves instead of just fricking opening the door and GTFOing
>complete all objectives >all outposts done >stratagems on CD >we're really low on reinforcments and have a good amount of samples collected >ok lets just play safe and get to extraction, we should be good to go by then >random moron just opens fire on a patrol with hulks on it and drags everyone into a fire fight >get wiped
i made the mistake today of accidentally aggroing a patrol because someone perpendicular to it marked the patrol like they were going after it, but then they turned and ran at the last minute just as my quasar hit it.
not teamkilling is easy.
think a single second before you do something and the results will be much more effective.
The only excusable teamkill is getting ragdolled while trying to throw a stratagem
Does it count as teamkilling if I call down a reinforcement on the bile titan harassing me, and use the reinforcement as both a weapon and a distraction so I can get away?

Picture if they made a patch change called "added chuck's suck and frick", and you know what its going to turn into, and you know what the devs are going to patch it into, but no one else knows what is going to become of it because it'll be a very subtle change. So, do you enjoy it while it lasts or do you rightfully call the devs out for adding something they knew they would have to change because everyone knows they will have to change it except people who don't get it.
Yes it does. AMR also 2 shots ine the face, no need to waste stuns unless its a rocket hulk. Go prone just as flame one lights up the flamer before burst.
Problem here prob was the bug at the start is following you and the sentry will try to zap it right as its at the last stair up and youre in between them at that point.
Works on flat ground for me ezcept when bugs get close. Which is why I dont use the zappy turret sadly.

sentries have a modifier to track helldivers, mark my words
I would not be suprised considering the cluster launcher triggering from everything between helpod lids to a secered finger. Propably your own models legs when prone too lol.
I have to admit that firing it, realizing the range of the cluster, and subsequently dying was hilarious. Sort of like when my AC turret ragdolls me, I can't help but laugh.
Nerfcucks stand strong, don't let the toddlers get to you. The devs are on our side
here are the patch notes
>ricochet now comes back at you
that's hilarious, but why? wasn't the inherent risk of RNG-ricochet plenty for potential ""FUN"" accidents?
>nerf everything fun or useable in a pve game
>have to listen to the same reddit democracy jokes over and over while the devs punch your balls
wasted potential: the game
unlike DRG which has achieved full potential and even beyond
DRG just needs to add a bot flavored enemy type and mining that isn't moronic pick axe bullshit and I'll go back to it.
there is already driller and robots so come play now and make sure to kill any thread of this fotmslop game you see
Game is still on rails bullshit fake mining with the same boring missions. On site refining is probably the only semi creative and fun one and it gets old after you built your 100th epic pipeline coaster.
the last DRG update was 2 fricking years ago and it was the janny "clean up the covid infection" update
>theres still only 5 objectives in the entire game
>theres absolutely nothing to grind for
you DRG shills need to have a nice day, go back to your dead discord troony embracer-owned game
Why devs nerfed sickle and quasar? Its not broken
Because people were having fun and that's not ok
Sickle definitely needed a nerf like this 6 was too much as the there was barely any situation where I would go below 3 ICEs, if you can manage how you should and not just hold down like a moron you were fine
Now messing up has more impact to it lmao
Quasar I can’t really say
Hot take: they nerfed them in the most inoffensive way. If they fricked with the damage values it would absolutely dumpster them.
Quasar you're already putting away after shooting and doing something else, 5 seconds extra is indeed rough but it can still do what it did before, same with the sickle just don't overheat like a tard. Also you should be hotswapping Quasars in holdout scenarios anyway
>shoot enemy with autocannon
>game hardcoded to bounce the bullet back directly into me regardless of angle
Funny haha reddit moment, epic meme my devs.
>Quasar you're already putting away after shooting and doing something else, 5 seconds extra is indeed rough but it can still do what it did before
Well, no, because now that I fire the Quasar half as many times as I used to each fight, everyone in the party is required to take one in order to defeat armor. This isn't some kind of quirky MMO with DPS meters, the armored enemies must be dealt with or everyone dies to them. And nobody wants to take the Recoilless Rifle or EATS when they both feel worse to fire than the Quasar. So really, this just returns us to the era of mandating that every squadmate takes an anti-armor weapon. A lot of patch notes come out yet the same problem still remains.
Good thing about bots is you can just walk away or kite walkers from shit and basically skillshot everything else. Bug gays probably have it rough and need infininade.
Sickle was a literal upgrade over the liberator. Now the liberator got a slight buff and you'll have to be more careful of mag dumping with the sickle.
is that spear point under the airburst meant to be under a new spear bulletpoint or is it relevant to the airburst?
are these patch notes bugged?
The patrol spawn changes are absolutely miserable, holy shit.
Solo was difficult but now it's ludicrous.
it's supposed to be
Diff 4 is fricked up now. That's where I liked to go for a casual solo romp while I listened to a podcast or something cuz any lower would be too boring and doesn't have heavies and any harder is too hard.
i dont understand this approach they're taking to balance
what difference does it make if something is 'too strong' in a pve game
why not just buff the other weapons to be stronger rather than nerf the ones that are too strong if you want people to use more stuff
Because it's a balancing act of challenge and fun as opposed to just being a sandbox, hence why people play helldive and not just suicide despite having the exact same content, just more enemies. Buffing all weapons in essence just reduces difficulty, so you might as well just make enemies weaker or less numerous. You also need weapons to feel proportionally strong to what they do. There's not much point to a pump action shotgun that kills in one shot if it's immediately compared to the assault rifle next to it that also kills in one, and there really isn't a way to make them "equal" without reducing the assault rifle to not kill in one shot.

Genuinely the most useless defense item. Bugs and bots just walk right past it if they don't take it out in one hit. The only thing it's good for is getting glue gobbling public lobby players to execute themselves.
Tesla tower completely shits on bug swarms as long as a charger/BT don't 1 shot it. Tesla tower+EMS mortar made the termicide missions nearly an AFK farm.
All you need is the fart gas orbital, toss it on a breach and it's game over, plus it has a tiny cooldown.
>Didn't fix fire damage not working unless you're host
It's time to take a nice long break from this game. Especially until Swedes get their shit together and stop trying to dictate how we play their game
It took them months to fix the PS5 damage bug. Don't forget that they nerfed the railgun and the arc thrower because people were 2-shotting bile titans with both of them.
>because people were 2-shotting bile titans with both of them.
it was a oneshot if you aim at the head which was definitely intentional but they keep changing their fricking minds
>People are not going to stop pointing out if something is shit if it hasn't been fixed yet.
Good. But could they do so without behaving like little children?
my homie this is the internet and the devs are literally paid (probably handsomely at that) to deal with criticism, whether its constructive or not its irrelevant
Then I take great joy in critisizing someone who is not paid to to deal with it.
same, I genuinely enjoy the game but I keep running into constant bugs and issues
also the ricochet change is just straight up unfun. It don't mind it if it happens once in a blue moon if I'm angled just right since it could be funny, but I'm already being punished for limited ammo waste and the heavy is still alive, now I just straight up die for missing slightly?
I dunno why these devs insist on just nerfing tons of shit, I get they don't want shit to be too OP but I never really feel safe even with the fairly reliable weapons so far

I will accept many idiotic design decisions and developer stupidity if the actual game is still fun. Fun is, at the end of the day, the final judgement to whether a game is worth playing or not.
And this is what's driving the industry towards MTX, GaaS and gacha shit.
People are willing to put up with cancer as long as they are being fed enough fun to ignore it.

While
has half a point considering Helldivers 2's fricking weird monetization, I can still get behind Helldivers 2 at least being worth playing for a few hours. The problem is that I can't see myself corralling 3 friends to come to that same conclusion just to play it maybe 3 times, like what happened when a friend got me into Darktide. (Fatshart games are their own circus)

>They fun in they own way.
RoR2 is significantly inferior to the first imo so it was the perfect fit for my "genre" description. As long as HD2 doesn't completely restrict your choice of gameplay to the one faction no one wants to fight like HD1 did more than a few times I'd say it's objectively better just for that alone
>I can still get behind Helldivers 2 at least being worth playing for a few hours. The problem is that I can't see myself corralling 3 friends to come to that same conclusion just to play it maybe 3 times, like what happened when a friend got me into Darktide.

Swedish magic.
Anon if a game can't keep your attention for more than a few hours while other people have hundreds in it then it's a you problem. Either the game isn't for you, or you don't have the attention span to stick with it.
you're 100% right and don't take the gaslighting from the poopsockers in this thread.
getting 3 friends to even stick with you 100 hours is a difficult challenge. almost all my friends jumped from this game to the next FOTM game the millisecond they could, in my case it was content warning.
i hate to say it but the shitposter was right we were bamboozled by a FOTM game that we just happened to really, really like.
>getting 3 friends to even stick with you 100 hours is a difficult challenge.
When it came to DRG I've sunk tons of time with them at least a couple hundred, and I played like 100+ hours with one of my friends on Monster Hunter World. It's just Darktide didn't seem to stick around so long and I don't have high hopes for Helldivers 2 faring better considering the current state of the game.
>Could have sworn I heard a triple digit gigabyte count at some point earlier this year.
Download size is 20GB but installed size is 75.
dont ask me how they did that
>RoR2 is significantly inferior to the first imo
Yeah a lot of people didn't like that one too much. When they first mentioned it I thought they were joking. Then I saw gifs of in-game tests and thought it was an april fools day thing.
I could boot it up tomorrow personally. I like arcade things with rng. hd2 is pretty god damn broken in comparison as a sequel.
It doesn't help RoR2 shit out one half-hearted nothing DLC and then Hopoo bailed for that sweet sweet Gearbox money. At least DRG went through a few years and then four fortnite battle pass seasons before throwing up their hands and going "FRICK IT we can't think of anything else to do with this concept"
>Yeah a lot of people didn't like that one too much
What are you people smoking? RoR2 is almost universally preferred to the first game
75gb and comparing ror to ror2 is like comparing metal gear to metal gear solid is like comparing hd to hd2.
They fun in they own way.
helldivers plays like an arcade game which is great.
you can always boot it up for quick match, or you can go for a long match and get immerssed.
Its not that great for playing all day long, its more good for a one hour session here and there
not enough content for the hardcore I want to grind all day players at this point.
if you dont like it you dont like it, but it is undeniably a good game.
for me to overlook a shitty ingame store it has to be pretty damn decent (btw nothing but two bonds are worth anything and the two are easily unlocked)
Now if basedny decides to milk this game harder it might turn sour so i hope theyll keep their filthy nip hands of it as much as possible
there is no 'quick match' in this game
every game, even fast ones, will run you on th order of 20-40 minutes. it's my biggest complaint about it.
blitz missions are 12 minutes long at max
>The timer is 12 so it's 12 minutes long

lmao you actual stupid motherfricker. again real people with real lives already know nothing in this game is fast.
didn't click, guessing it's something whiny and projecting.
there literally is an achievement for completing a mission with extracting in 360 seconds.
maybe try getting good at the game
>there literally is an achievement for completing a mission with extracting in 360 seconds.
that's an achievement for a reason, dingus: you are not going to be doing that even at your best all of the time
maybe try playing the game instead of b***hing about it in the thread
>The timer is 12 so it's 12 minutes long
Pretty much yeah? Pelican will arrive at 14 min and if youre not in witvin 20s its a gg.
Are you stupid?
why are you being obtuse? im trying to point out its not just the 12 minute timer, its setting the game up, its finding a blitz mission, etc. etc. you know this is the case.
nothing in this game is fast if you're trying to win. i realize now you can just drop into missions and abort but who tf wants to do that
Everything is fast if you want to only win.
Like 1 minute to get ingame starting game included and if you do only main objectives even the 40 minute missions take up like 20-30 minutes. If youre not bad you can do set of 3 missions on dif 7 in like an hour bro??
bud the devs just patched this out. if you're solo, you're not beating that 40 minute mission in 20. again, why are you being obtuse?
>if you're solo
You can fix this issue with the press of a button or making some friends. Need a guide for the latter?
ok cool so now just spend 40 minutes getting people together for your "fast" mission because everything in this game is "fast" as long as four other people are immediately ready to play
i accept your concession. not sure why you were obtuse about it.
>four
three whatever, it's still not a fast game and the solution the devs have is "find three others at all times to play".
>with friends
>hey wanna play hd2?

And randoms:

why are you continuing to post? you already conceded when you said that the solution to the game being slow is to just harass three other people on my friends list to come play right. now. like that's ever fast for anyone.
i don't think you have any friends or have ever tried organizing anything if you think you can just click your finger and three people will show up instantly.
even randoms and sos beacons don't instantly summon people, i thought these "fast" missions were 12 minutes and not 20 minutes of waiting around for peckerheads to drop in? anyway, i accept your concession a second time.
I see you ignored playong with randoms because you couldnt think of an excuse.
And if you cant play solo in 30 min youre bad.
My friends if not playing a game join me in minutes because Im actually pleasant to be with.
Try looking for a book on how not to be a c**t maybe that will help.
Dropped, 100GB free, feels nice not sticking around for the snowBlack person devs' wild ride.
Also frick that homosexual discord janny.
autocannon's all you need.
Go to bed, Arrowhead.
This I agree with
For all the shit the game has thrown at every other weapon, the autocannon is someone's baby.
And thank frick, too. It's a good weapon
I mean, yeah it’s good but I’m getting bored of using it. Tried the railgum today, doesn’t feel like they buffed it at all
You misspelled "laser cannon", anon. I forgive you. The keys are pretty close after all.
laser cannon's weak.
Quasar Cannon is a weaker version of the Spartan Laser with no punch
>weak
>it already mogged most support weapons on bots
>it just had its damage raised
I'd like to see you quickly take down a factory strider or four gunships at a time with the quasar, and anything in-between. I'll wait.
I'm saying all non primary non orbital laser weapons are weak because they are
take actual ordinance as your heavy. I trust machine gun noobs over quasar canon or laser cannon homosexuals
You talk like a gay and your shit's all moronic.
Lasers are homosexual weapons. Always have been. Just like in Halo
SELF IMMOLATE (in-game) TO GET THE PATCH REVERTED
I'm imagining thousands of players uploading videos of setting themselves on fire in game to protest, the patch gets completely rolled back, and then the next patch is absolutely worse in every conceivable way.
The new update fricking sucks, roll it back to the old one
New deactivate the bug tower mission is nice for farming XP/medals tho. Super easy on diff 9 and short as well
Dead FOTM slop.
acrobatic booster where you recover from ragdolls faster, and can fall/dive from greater heights without ragdolling when?
no
blowjob booster
right after the SLOW immunity booster
>don't ragdoll
>your character kneels out of respect and takes 30% health
>ragdoll
>character flops around like a moron; hits their head and neck on every rock on the way down and ends up full bending their neck as they land on a sharp rock
>5% health
no thanks I'd rather ragdoll quicker. in fact, i'd like a ragdoll button
It's G.
the grenade button?
If you aim down.
im more of a spore jumper
unironically when I was SC farming I'd try and grenade jump to fling myself in the direction of POIs and lose health to spam stims for stamina
if you dive at just the right time, you can fling yourself a good 20-30 feet
If you find the boobies (I don't know what they are) that explode, you can shoot them while diving to get flung 100-150 feet. Great escape plan and catch-up tool.
They're called puffballs and are a real kind of mushroom, though the real ones are much smaller. They build up pressurized spheres of spores and then explode them to spread.
Unironically is not a fricking word
It unironically is a word.
This just released a puff of smoke when I held it. What gives?
Ragdolling is just another form of going LIMP to disperse and minimize the damage
THE UPDATE JUST KILLED THIS FOTM SLOP GAME AND NAZIHEAD REFUSES TO BACK DOWN ON THEIR TERRIBLE DECSION MAKING. DRG AND GHOST SHIP GAMES ARE FAR SUPERIOR IN EVERY ASPECT AND YOU SHOULD PLAY DEEP ROCK GALACTIC NOW! ROCK AND STONE

now we're talking in /v speak.
Your shitty FOTMflop gets worse with every update, lol, it's so funny! It gets more and more undefendable with each passing 'fix'!
LOL NINTENDIES SEETHING A SONYCHADS SHITCH PORT NEVER EVER
>evac missions got their samples nerfed to absolute shit
as if the changes they bothered to mention in the notes weren't bad enough
>evac missions got their samples nerfed to absolute shit
wait what?
In the personnel evac missions, you used to be able to grab loads of rare samples instead of doing the mission itself, and they'd come in clusters of 9+, so it was easy to find them all. You'd fail the mission on purpose just to grind out 30 commons, 30 rares, and however many supers. Now it's just 10 commons and the supers.
So they fixed an exploit and that's bad?
Infinite grenades still works. Devs are morons. Still won't buy your goy pass.
Helldivers 2 is FINISHED. It's over, and it WILL get even worse for all of you morons who cling on to this Goyslop of the Month meme game.

t. swedecuck dev
Stalkers are a fricking menace now. Quasar and laser rover are still a mandatory 2 of on bugs. Sickle still GOAT primary.
stand back
arc throwers take lead
NOW GIVE ME MY BACKPACK
did they make arc shotgun better?
OH BABY
its ok vs bugs, worse than the punisher in general, but with infinite ammo, no reloading, and no aiming
>worse than the punisher in general
I disagree because the arc blitzer can kill armored units much easier.
With the punisher I have to aim between the feet of hive guard and can't do much to bile spewers.
The blitzer just kills hive guards and can reliably stagger a bile spewer off its spit and kill them with 4 headshot hits.
Plus the spread means you can effectively hold a position (assuming no charger/bile titan comes) indefinitely while a punisher will give way when you need to reload.
The advantage the punisher has is that its better at killing shrieks (which it isn't amazing but also not too bad at it).
Maybe its better at killing the pouncers but I haven't had a pouncer map since the update to test.
I didn't really think about vs armored bugs, but yeah I can see that being the case. Normally I like to pair the punisher with something like the HMG or GL for the medium bugs, so I didn't consider that.
>4 headshot hits
how many lightnings does the arc blitzer shoot out? its hard to tell
I got no clue at all.
4 was just the the number that seemed to be most consistent when I was playing.
Though initially it was taking a bit more because I was circling them and some were hitting the sides not the head.
Backing up seems to be more consistent as it keeps the head in front.
The one thing that did annoy me is that if the bile spewer goes into its artillery mode you can't hit the head and it takes forever to break the sac.
Is Arc Blitzer actually good now or are yall just memeing?
it's okay now, which is better than being unusable dogshit
It's usable
Is adjudicator good now? And is spear still broken
it's usable now, i wouldn't call it good.
it's recoil is more manageable and it's ammo is slightly better. so if those were your issues with it then you will like it
>Is adjudicator good now?
Not at all.
>And is spear still broken
Yes.
They nerfed the Spear to no longer consistently kill Bile TItans and Chargers in 1 hit
No, the lock on isn't fixed
Enjoy!
THE FRICKING COMMUNITY MANAGER SAID IT WAS FIXED 17 DAYS AGO AND THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE UPDATE TO PUT IT IN. NOT ONLY DID THEY LIE ABOUT NOT NERFING THINGS BUT THEY LIED ABOUT THE SHIT THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO FIX ARROWHEAD FIRE ALL THE COMMUNITY MANAGERS IMMEDIATELY. WHAT EVEN IS THE FRICKING POINT OF HAVING ONE WHEN ALL THEY DO IS LIE ABOUT UPDATES AND THEN BE SMARMY LITTLE homosexualS ABOUT IT WHEN PEOPLE GET MAD
Are you not having fun with extra deadly melt you by smelling it fire? How about a game mechanic that "randomly" deflects 1% of your rounds straight back into your face. Maybe you need more though. Just upgrade your ship modules, it probably won't change anything but you can spend resources. Just make sure you use light armor and close range weapons to play the way you want us to want you to play.
>Eruptor now shit
>Crossbow now shit
>QC must be paired with EATs if even one person isn't running an anti-armor support because frick allowing people loadout variety (this is why the claim to be so nerf-happy and buff-afraid in their PVE game, by the way)
>buffs are generally a cumulative nothingburger
>kneejerk buff to patrols on 1-3 player games (which were already harder than 4) because shitter devs that can't clear diff 6 see people on YouTube soloing 9 after several hundred hours played
Thanks, I hate it. AH maintains their glaring moronation and even brings it up to another level entirely.
The Spear was inconsistent about killing them since the beginning. Even if your Spear shot hit a BT's head it wouldn't necessarily kill it. If it failed to land on a Charger's head, it also wouldn't kill it.
while some of the changes were expected, a lot of them came from seemingly out of nowhere. wherever they're getting their notes for buffs/nerfs/changes, it's definitely not places like there (obviously) or that share opinions to here.
They fixed the spear's reload animation so that you don't have to restart from the beginning every time you have to interrupt it.
dunno man, i havent not locked anything since the patch dropped, although now it doesnt lock onto chargers and titans faces but their sides resulting in not killing them
You will run out of ammo two hunter packs in.
?si=QWOy8c38AvjtctQW
Railgun is back baby!
>WAAAAAAAAGH THEY NERFED MY FAVORITE GUN
Balance is important, frick off. I see no one happy about the great buffs we got, especially to the punisher plasma.
Why bother making guns at all if you don't want them to stand out? Just have 1 heavy weapon and 1 pistol at that point, butt fricker.
I used the punisher plasma yesterday. It's the first time in a hundred hours that I managed to run out of ammo for my primary (I had the least kills)
Shit gun, stop coping
>WAAAAAAAAGH MY GUNS NEED TO BE GOOD
Actually they do, but I'm just showing the mentality of the low-IQ pieces of shit that inhabit these threads.
So with the Ricochet nerf is it just completely unfeasible to try and kill Hulks through the front with Autcannon?
THEY NERFED EVERYTHING
What game is 2B from, Anon?
NieR: What?
She's from Nier: Democrata, of course. Glory to Super Earth!
Quasar still better than railgun
yeah because the railgun is a piece of garbage
A few more disastrous updates like this and this game will be dead and buried like it deserves. I can't wait for Ganker to start proclaiming that 'it was never good' and you just KNOW the people who'll say this are the ones in this here thread, jej.
helldivers was always good
It honestly wasn't ever good. It starts out sort of fun from a jankcore angle and then jankcore becomes, holy shit this is nauseating having the same bugs frick me in the ass and nothing kills shit (because you're past level 3-4).
The absolute dipshit swedes who added the idiotic escort mission defense thing literally almost made me rage quit permanently. I just now completely avoid defense missions now because it's shit and if I need to do eliminate or defense cancer I just start revving up infinite grenades and making everything die.
based come play drg
The FOTM Slop posters have evolved to DRG falseflaggers.
The shooting is amazing
I'm sick of pretending Helldivers is not an amazing game under its surface.
Because under its surface, you have MGSV
And MGSV was a really, really fun game. It's only real crime is all the execution that was wasted with it being rushed.
yeah dude, I'm glad they took notes from the phantom pain with the general movement system and first person when ADS. just wish half the gun sights were actually fricking aligned.
mechanics are MGSV. The design is literally the uncharted worlds idea from Mass Effect. Right down to the side objectives/elements whatever you have to discover along the way.
The reused assets/mission structure is identical too
it's good to see devs just ripping good ideas from other games. hope they do it more.
>palworld is literally just ARC with guns and pokemon
>helldivers is literally just mass effect with MGSV movement mechanics
>both great games
I wish "we're just gonna blatantly copy X Y and Z mechanics from A B and C games" was a more common design philosophy.
glad I'm not the only one to notice
That's great and all but the people running the show:
1) Literally cannot code And do not know how their game works.
2) Don't play the game.
Maybe in an alternate universe where the swedecucks weren't allowed to make it, it could have worked, but I doubt it. Arrowhead's jank is basically half the endearing factor. Shame that the Black folk who own arrowhead are probably worth half a billion at this point.
>dead game
at this point this should just be consider a buzzword.
It had potential but once again Swede devs are fricking incompetent.
havent had the chance to play yet
was the plasma punisher actually nerfed? that gun is my favorite
plasma punisher is a lot better now, give it a try.
Just don't use an energy shield with it since it's bugged and will hit the shield.
it's like ehhhhh
not unusable but why take it, now
Im ok with Quasar getting nerfed, mainly because it seems like Q+shield just has a higher ratio of homosexuals using that shit.
They'll just move to the next meta once that's been determined. Balancing to remove the meta will just create new metas.
I dont know whats meta, Im just saying I see those people being homosexuals.
This is going to be every single patch going forward. Bitter morons mad that people were using the wrong gear in a fricking coop horde shooter
Quasar is still good tho
The problem is that the other Anti tank options besides the EAT suck ass.
RR? Quasar is just that but you can move
Railgun? terrible, still.
EAT's are the only half-decent option but they're interrupted by the drop sequence. Great to have but the chance of having them is exceedingly low at the moment you need them.
>we nerfed the spewer spawn rate!
>just fought over 8 of them with 6 more coming out of nowhere
>can barely spot stalkers until they're right on you now
doesn't seem like you can even mark them on the map unless you get the radar or are near by.
tried rushing a stalker nest by myself and got thrashed.
i was so spooked i didn't dare run back for my stuff.
>invisible enemy
>it's big
>fast
>does a lot of damage
>and has a shitload of health
I actually love stalkers conceptually (and their design is cool too) because this is the total opposite of how just about anyone would design a stealth enemy.
Stalkers are basically the only threat buggays face. I'd honestly want stalkers to be regular spawns at this point because otherwise bugs are boring as frick.
>I'd honestly want stalkers to be regular spawns at this point
If you have any hives (shrieker/stalker) intact when you call for evac, a few should join in on the assault waves
I like them because they feel the most like Starship Troopers arachnids, where 10 infantrymen have to gang up on a single one to kill it.
>see that dumbass Bic White Out silhouette scurrying around in the distance
>start shooting it
>2 seconds later see 2 green laser sights lock onto it
>still takes like 5+ seconds to kill with 3 of us hitting it
It's easily one of the most satisfying experiences in the game.
I wish there was a planet modifier that increased the heavy spawn rate and kept the fodder to a minimum. The game is at its best when you and a couple other randos are picking apart a huge bastard.
They're good in how much of a crisis threat they are. Not so common as to be a 24/7 enemy like bile titans, but very much a
>They show up
>drop everything to find and kill their nest
I'd not want them to become a regular enemy, but if you removed their stealth for the regular enemy (not the nest one) then that'd be fine. Right now the main horde lacks a high end medium tier nimble enemy. It's small jumpy boys,
Nah, the tale will be "The game would have been great but the devs are their own worst enemy". It's beyond comical how inept they are - they do not do testing at all. That's the only explanation for
>Plasma shotgun shield
>previous bugs like the mech turning rocket
Adjudicator went from absolute trash worst of the worst to just a sub-optimal gun. Recoil is fine if crouched/prone and in armor, but the damage and mag size is not commiserate. A dominator or scorcher will be better. It just isn't worth it because those two do better. So I am sure eventually either will continue to get nerfed because bork bork bork meatballers can't decide if this game is some roguelike ballbuster or not.
I really hope the devs don't kill the game because this is legitmately the best co op game to come out in a decade but then again they are swedes
I don't expect it'll be -killed- dead, to like sub 1000 players, and frankly if they keep belting out content then they will be able to keep it fairly lively (What's there to compete gainst? Darktide lmao?). Honestly my complaints are just that - you can see the incredible potential and FUN of the game, so anger at the devs is "why are you guys ruining such a great product". This nerf-cycle was not as apocalyptic as it could have been but there's still a feeling of "Yeah adding +5 piddly damage and then 50% less magazines or dramatically cutting back explosion radius" is not balance. I don't want an artificial cycle of buff-nerf to vary things up, but at a minimum just make sure a patch has a lot of really nice buffs so people have new toys to re-try rather than just something they like getting gimped. I forget which nerf cycle it was that did that, I think the breaker where the laser cannon and somethign else got buffed so it wasn't just "yeah this gun sucks now that's it k bye".
They just need to get their head out of their ass and make the RR support reloads be possible from the gunner's own backup. Which, given meatball code, probably isn't possible lel lmao.
>I wish there was a planet modifier that increased the heavy spawn rate and kept the fodder to a minimum.
When we were doing the new terminid mission today, not knowing what to expect, the initial silence of it all made it feel like a horror-stalker game. That would be a pretty fricking cool planet mutation: just stalkers, much much stronger but also lower in volume. So you end up feeling like it's predator or xenomorphs.
hopefully they actually learn and have a buff update as they do seem like they may learn, at least the devs although it seems like the community managers are being smarmy gays about it. I still don't get why they need community managers who just start shit with people and erode goodwill towards them further
I saw that community manager smarmy homosexualry and it's just
>b***h you guys haven't yet fixed a major DOT issue in what, 3 months? Sit your ass down
Just gotta kite them. Which is cool versus bots because cover is important, but with bugs it becomes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ
I don't mind the robo-dogs because they are slow, there's multiple weak spots and even with some basic b***h small arms you can still challenge it. Oh but fricking BTs, yeah it's real fun to be toothless if you don't have a gigahomie AT weapon or stratagem.
EDF is a better game
You need to play more games instead of only the hyped shit
>It's beyond comical how inept they are - they do not do testing at all
Don't forget the new defense mission having visible collision boxes on the rocks. That's something that would appear every time the map is loaded. Usually people say "devs don't even test their game" when shit is just buggy but this game is one of the few cases where it is 100% true
>they do not do testing at all. That's the only explanation for
To me feels like they do not have a staging environment to test stuff, specially considering most of the serious bugs come from the PS5 side where publishing is more restricted due to Sony's approval processes.
They said on redit that they have PAID 150 play testers.
I have a feeling some neets are just getting payed to play videogames and not actually do anything.
How else did nobody notice none of the 4 upgrades in that one patch working correctly?
Actually sounds awesome. They were way too easy to spot in both daytime and nighttime settings. Now just give them little glowing eyes like bloodsuckers in SoC.
This is clearly the dissidents fault. They did something to the termicide.
I can't believe the termicide didn't work, I CANNOT believe the termicide didn't work
The what?
the dissidents will pay for this...
I love this helmet so much
Looks both silly and cool depending how you look at it. Also found a nice armor and cape combo for it that isn't default
It either looks like a face with a big nose or a tau fire warrior helmet
Bonedrewd
I would take back all of the things I have said about these moronic judenswedes if they put a Bondrewd lookalike armor set in the game.
>ship can be named Sovereign of Dawn
Please, Swedes. Give me a Bondrewd lookalike.
the illuminates did this
Sickle is objectively better now because it can shoot through shrubs. Haven't tried it through chain link fences yet
Three crashes and one disconnect tonight, awesome.
>inb5 get a better computer and internet
Did you try verifying the files?
I think arrowhead fricked up the update process because I always have some files fricked up post update.
No but it couldn't hurt to try
Primary for bots?
Scorcher or Dominator. Diligence works too if you use it to clear chaff, it struggles against devastators but you can just Autocannon those.
If you haven't give the diligence a shot.
The movement on the sights been improved and it can 1 shot devastators in the head now.
Why, the Eruptor of course.
>will destroy fabricators from a distance
>can remove shield devastator's gun arms in one shot from a distance
>good for multigibbing close knit enemies
>can frick up striders (will be more difficult post nerf, however)
>post-nerf can't shoot into bot turret emplacements to take them out nearly as consistently
>the only tight-knit enemies are berserkers, but that's still a decent deal
>fricking ricochet instakills if your shrapnel grazes a minigunner shield
it's still a miniature AC so it's my favorite despite how they removed the absurdly large (and entertaining) explosion radius on an EXPLOSIVE WARBOND WEAPON but I definitely don't like this patch. What a stupid way to handle ricochets, who thought making them autoaim instakills was a good idea
>who thought making them autoaim instakills was a good idea
wait they did WHAT
Shot a hiveguard with an eruptor from well outside of Eruptor shrapnel range and I died instantly through 150 AR + Fortified armor the same frame the direct hit flinched the hiveguard. It's sadly real.
I haven't seen the ricochet yet, but I think the devs just shitily worded it to mean "ricochet now hurts instead of just passing through"
This is it exactly. You aren't immune to your own bullets anymore.
>who thought making them autoaim instakills was a good idea
Swedish developers thinks what makes the game fun is how often you die, they find that hilarious. (not kidding)
Swedes really are on another level of incompetence, it'd be almost charming if my patience for the Swede wasn't completely drained by Payday 2's shenanigans (and Payday 3's death on arrival)
plasma punisher. before patch. definitly will play it more now.
I'm just gonna keep using the breaker forever I think. At least on bugs.
>the supply packing thing still doesn't work
Holy kek.
this new ice planet is a shitshow. playing on lvl 7, 2-3 stalker nests per mission. im level 35, just played two rounds with level 50s & got our shit rocked both times. lol
WHAT FVCKING PRIMARY DO I USE FOR GREEN SPEWERS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Scorcher. When in doubt: scorch it. Explosive damage is extremely important against literally every cancer mob in the game + med pen.
sickle homie.
Also bugs are shit. Automatons are way more fun
i absolutely agree but im a slave to the MO
Sickle can't pen spewers besides the sides and maybe the mouth when it's open.
Pack the senator and autocannon with you and you're good. Looking for a one size fits all in a game like this doesn't work
I'm pointing out that he's either playing on a lower difficulty or is confusing bile spewers for nursing spewers.
you can hit the green bits on the spewer with the sickle and it'll die.
You could say the same with every weapon. Bile spewers usually come in packs and you'll be completely out of ammo for your sickle if you're wasting shots instead of using a grenade or a different weapon entirely.
Grenade pistol
just grenade them
WHEN I RUN OUT OF NADES AFTER KILLING 12 OF THEM AND THERES STILL 100 LEFT?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

>running out of nades
Infinite nade glitch. Spam strat button while trying to throw nade you have IN HAND NOT QUICK THROW AND YOU NEED AT LEAST 1 TO START.
no the patch notes are wrong, the value underflows to 4 billion now instead of counting down past 0 because the swedes are dumb Black folk that don't know what saturating arithmetic is.
Some people swear you need to spam aim down sight and strategem button to make it work. Doesn't matter anyhow. Eventually the game will let you toss your zeroth and you're good to go.
they patched that out
It's not patched. People are just getting underflows because they made nade counter an unsigned integer so instead of negative nades you get 4 billion nades. Reddit cucks confirmed it too if you don't believe me. These morons don't understand or play their own game.
what did they patch out then?
It's exactly as he said:
>instead of negative nades you get 4 billion nades
I fricking hate the way they do patch notes. what does "use grenades excessively" mean?
god this company really wants to sink their successful game.
>what does "use grenades excessively" mean?
There was an exploit that let us use infinite grenades. They found out.
Because homosexuals kept talking about it and youtubers made vids about it 😐
>there was
lol
lmao, even
how did they frick this up
The grenade count value is stored in a 32-bit register, which overflows to 4,294,967,295. Likely Arrowhead just didn't implement guards correctly.
I'd say this is clear proof that they're incompetent.
>4,294,967,294
anon. what the hell are you even gonna do with 4,294,967,294 grenades?

up
EVERYTHING!
oh no now you can't literally cheat, how sad.
>can't literally cheat anymore
AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE JOEL WHAT THE FRICK GAMING IS DEAD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
you still can, stupid
Apparently it still works, it just doesn't underflow anymore and instead overflows into millions of grenades. I just played a mission with a guy whose primary method of attack was infinite impact grenade spam.
Eruptor, and thats facts

great patch swedes
The linear patrol thing makes no sense to me. One helldiver can't fully saturate the battlefield with endless lead. 2 can at least cover each other and do tandem antibig duty.
3? Ok you're basically playing the game and shouldn't have problems.
Having 1 player deal with a 1/4th the spawn of patrols is moronic. Honestly, I'd go further and say I imagine the swedecucks fricked it up anyhow and solo players probably get even more enemies than 4 man teams given their brilliant track record of making the most broken unintended consequence bugs humanly possible.
Haven't played yet. My buddy said the cluster is complete ass now and the enemy encounter rate is so high that you run out ammo in an instant now.
he's right you should play Deep rock galactic instead
why do mentally ill morons hang out in threads of games they neither play or like? lol
Welcome to Ganker i cant understand too
He's right in that if oyu don't have four players, you get swarmed. Even 3 players on helldive feels like a signficant step up from 4
Considering most pubbies can't clear diff 6 missions, idk what they are thinking with this one
>Considering most pubbies can't clear diff 6 missions, idk what they are thinking with this one
They're trying to discourage soloing and encourage quick matching and filling out lobbies in an extremely heavy handed manner. Personally I blame whatever dumbass on the team keeps trying to act like team reloading is a good mechanic, I wouldn't be surprised if he hates solo play.
>Play "Destroy ALL THE EGGS" mission
>Pelican glitches out and can't extract, mission timer hits and Pelican fricks off while we're spending 10+ minutes fighting bugs the entire wait.
Welp. Goodbye samples.
Hey guys you should try landing on the eggs (teehee)
Why did the devs add a random chance of you just dying when shooting enemies (ricochet)? What did they mean by this? What does this accomplish? How does this add positively to the game in any way?
>Why did the devs add a random chance of you just dying when shooting enemies (ricochet)? What did they mean by this? What does this accomplish? How does this add positively to the game in any way?
have you actually played the game
Anons. I have a question. Would people be interested in "private servers" helldivers 2? It seems pretty clear that arrow shit won't fix their game and if we pool our skills together we might be able to binary patch this shit heap and also have private servers with no aids. Does anyone know how much of the game is determined by the player machine vs the servers?
>Private
No thanks
Reminder they indirectly nerfed the AC and by extension all explosive weapons due to the new ricochet mechanic. This new mechanic allows shrapnel to bounce back but the problem is that it is also homing and kills you 99% of the time or other players. Not mentioned in the patch notes btw. Fricking homosexual devs were too scared to post a AC nerf
I have yet to be hit by ricochet either from a regular gun or AC shot.
Eruptor was killing me via ricoshet so much I just stopped using it altogether
Your aim is probably shit, it's happend to me three times vs hulks with the AC, and 5+ on shield frickers when I missed the head and clipped the shield.
>calling someone's aim shit when he cant hit weak points
lmao typical autocannon user
How many bots do you think I got through yesterday anon.
At least 100+ hulks, frick tons of devs.
If your aim is shit and you miss terribly instead of only a little bit you don't get the same ricochets. The flat part on the edge of the weakspot is what reflects 180 degrees.
Same with the shield, which is far easier to hit due to there being so many more of them.
Still can't get over how shit the scythe is even with the buff. I would prefer it to have way more damage but worse heat sinks if it would let me kill scavengers faster than they could crawl to me.
So true frfr
You changed it, and now its less accurate. Why would arc / flamer look at air burst like that? Should be airburst being looked at by RR / AC because they are the backpack ones.
>decide to try out the gun buffs and nerfs
>plasma punisher feels way better, but slightly inconsistent with damage now
>dagger still sucks, but not at bad, at least it can kill scavs, leapers, and even hunters somewhat easily
>scythe actually feels much better, can actually sweep it over hordes and get some kills, scope and heat capacity needs to be better though
>lascannon is definitely better against chaff, but you can feel the nerf against heavier enemies
>exploding crossbow is just hot garbage now, requires a full magazine to kill mediums, splash is incredibly small with severe falloff, it might not even be doing explosive damage anymore
Also is it just me, or did they increase the explosive resistance of bile spewers? Feels like they take more to pop now.
fees like increased their health or armor, same with stalkers. both way harder to kill with liberator penetrator
game would be good if there was a mode where you could play as the aliens or robots and kill some morons. we need some good pvp games for once.
I'm still going to keep LARPing as a 1st gen experimental Laser Trooper.
>sickle
>quasar
>shield or rover
>forever and ever
I know that feel, I still go full fire loadout even if I'm not host
Still mad that the dagger sucks
Arrowhead should 1.Fire their community managers and 2. hire actual playtesters to test their shit
So the ajewdicator is still bad then? I also heard railgun was buffed back. Any point using it over quasar?
if you want to focus medium enemies, yes.
Thanks bro
Just toyed with the adjudicator and it feels good to use but I don't think it's fantastic. You chew through ammo pretty quickly but effortlessly killing hiveguards and one shotting scavs feels good. Haven't fought bots yet with it.
Nice thanks anon. I'll check it out then
What happened to upgrading strategems? It feels like 99% of the problems people have would disappear overnight if we could just get mark 2's and 3's of some of the better stuff.
So how bad actually is the ricochet mechanic? can you actually get insta-obliterated if you miss a Hulk's eye by 1mm with an AC shot?
Looks like eruptor ricochets are literally auto-locked onto you like your own bullets are trying to aimbot you but i haven't seen any bad AC webms yet
Shield frickers almost always reflect 180 if theyre facing you dead on, absolute nightmare, 30mm explosive shells don't do that irl unless they go through something, in which case they should explode unless really unlucky.
When trying to snipe hulk headshots I've had it happen once already. I main AC so it's been a kick in the nuts, alongside the other minor nerfs it's got indirectly to other bots.
Anyone that says 180 ricochets are realistic need shooting, they exist as a rarity, most will bury into the armor or shatter, but even the rare ones that do penetrate but get flung around 180degrees not this common, video games have mobs that are directly 0 degrees facing us due to coding limitations so yeah of course it will happen more in a game.
>try to send a friend request for the first time in 200 hours
>it doesn't work
hehe
I've noticed that the higher level a player is, the more likely they are to be wearing the default armor
Not true
couldn't be more fake news
I hate the stalker bug
I greatly appreciate how terrifying stalkers now are in foggy areas. They strafe in the distance or do the leap and I actually lose them.
No idea why they nerfed the guard dog. No one uses it in the first place unless they don't have better gear. Not only does it need ammo replenished, now it's even more useless.
the steam patch notes are wrong, they only nerfed the laser guard dog
the regular guard dog actually got a damage buff
The Laser Guard Dog is actually bugged and has infinite ammo.
The MG Guard Dog is how they're both supposed to be.
But the Laser infinite ammo is a hardcoded glitch they can't fix yet so they're handling it like they handled fire damage and just leaving it as-is and nerfing it until enough people complain.
i still don't know all the names of the enemies
>stalker (forgot which one)
>bile titan
>spewer (two types)
>scout
>hulk
>devastator
>charger
>shrieker
that's about it, but frick that shit because you just gotta kill 'em all
I kind of wish they didn't have real names so that every friend group just makes their own designations. I still use my own even if they are mostly just copied warhammer names. Inevitably there would be community standard ones but in my magical world every group has their own language.
Terminids:
>Scavenger (small orange shitbug)
>Pouncer (small jumping shitbug)
>Bile Spitter (small green shitbug)
>Warrior
>Hunter
>Hive Guard
>Brood Commander
>Nursing Spewer (orange spewers)
>Bile Spewer (green spewers, can mortar their bile)
>Stalker
>Shrieker
>Charger
>Elite Charger
>Bile Titan
Automatons:
>Raider (single pistol)
>MG Raider (assault rifle)
>Rocket Raider (bazooka)
>Brawler (two swords)
>Commissar (sword and pistol)
>Assault Raider (jetpack)
>Marauder (x-shaped backpack and machine gun)
>Berserker
>Scout Strider
>Devastator
>Heavy Devastator
>Rocket Devastator
>Scorcher Hulk (flamethrower and buzzsaw)
>Bruiser Hulk (autocannon and missile launcher)
>Obliterator Hulk (two autocannons)
>Annihilator Tank
>Shredder Tank
>Cannon Tower
>Command Bunker
>Gunship
>Factory Strider
>theres two chargers
Whats the difference?
They're actually known as Behemoth Chargers, they have more armor than standard Chargers, and are rarer.
they have no extra armor, and are set spawn only
they do take longer to bleed out though
I wish I bothered to screencap the anon talking about how he was killed by a tank in diff4, then arguing about whether or not tanks spawn in 4 with another anon, only to eventually post this screencap of a "tank"
Tanks definitely spawn in diff 4 but only in bases from what I've seen.
oddfuture helldivers KILL 'EM ALL
I'm really warming up to the blitzer for bugs
Same but i keep missing my eruptor.
>Try out EATs again after using the quasar for so long
My eyes are open again, holy frick it's so much better it's not even funny. You can easily chuck it in front of you then 180 to blow up whatever's chasing you and the fact it doesn't have to charge up a shot feels great. I'm sorry team for ever picking quasar, I was throwing.
The best part about it is you can take it along with anything else, it will always do work, and you never feel slighted if someone else grabs your rocket (no homo).
>and you never feel slighted if someone else grabs your rocket (no homo)
I recently ran into a situation where this wasn't true.

NGMI
If you're struggling with that you can try hit the charger with the drop itself.
Apparently the stratagem balls attach to chargers but I've not tried yet.
Either way 1 shot every 35s and needing to call it in every time is still inferior to the quasar, even with the nerf.
My biggest issue with 8-9 preciously used to be permanent heavies that I don't have the ammo to take out so I had to rely on baiting then into 500kg, which isn't the easiest for me yet.
Also playing on PS5 is aids, controllers just can't deal with the enemies with the same point click ammo efficiency, especially with all the controller feedback. Apparently turning on gyro aiming helps, but idk I guess I like to sit on my side to play sometimes.
Just imagine how I feel as a RR user
You eventually get to the point where the 5s reload is trivially easy to get (especially since it can be staggered!)
In a practical sense- with randos- I delete Chargers/Hulks the moment they are seen, with a BT taking 6s to down depending on if my ritual sacrifices are accepted by arrow head, 12s if not
Its like having access to 3 EATs at any time, limited only by your ability to hog ammo!
I really wanted to like the Quasar, but not only does it have baked in cooldown- you have to keep your aim steady for 5s...
I'd rather just reload behind cover, strat, or teammate tbqh.
Yeah its a stationary reload- but staggering it allows you to dodge and dive the EXACT same way one does with a Quasar (albeit with a higher skill ceiling)
On harder difficulties I regularly packdump my RR with few complaints by the team about resupply hording(A BT hasn't spewed once in the 30 min helldive/the Gunship towers have mysteriously disappeared)
Only 8 samples in 6 missions, wth is with every moron that find funny to kill the team at the end of the match now? , I just wanted 20 rares to finish my upgrade
I only play with friends but when we had a rando join us I intentionally waited until he boarded to get on board myself. I know the meatball fricks won't do anything but that kind of homosexualry honestly does warrant addressing. Or maybe just making it so you can't snipe people inside of the ship. But that may be too much to ask of bork bork bork coders.
40+ minutes to clear all map and some homosexual just used napalm on the pelican and start throwing stun grenades at the team, almost want to uninstall due to how normal this is now, what is the point of playing if you don't get nothing?
I feel the same, but about bunkers. No one, even though they are right next to me, ever comes over when I ask for help opening it.
the bugs and the issues just keep piling up. just imagine how bad itll be when the illuminate finally come out
>illuminate come out
>anti-aim correction triples auto aim
They should just release like 1000 planets that need saving so you homosexuals can have something to keep you busy for the next 2-3 months.
I aint playing this game anymore after these nerfs
the fact even premium weapons aren't safe from these nerfs is the line, literally steeling money from people
>warbond comes out
>people get the new gun
>oh wow this is a fun weapon
>let it build hype for a few weeks
>cool I'll pay $10 USD and use the weapon as well
>NERFED
you had your money stolen
but muh credits can be found in game!!!!
even if you're the kind of homosexual that's going to nolife this game for credits it's even worse, you had something more valuable than money stolen, you had your time stolen
everything in game is free
just make sure you set aside 15 hours a week goy
everything in the game is free
Just play on Helldive and you'll farm medals. You should unironically be able to use the medals to buy the sc to buy the next pack. At least that's what I did. I never buy the superstore armors tho so it's just collecting up
Not him but it's an average of 1000 SC per 30-40 hours of gameplay, not counting the SC from the warbonds and not counting the rare 100 SC drop.
>not counting the SC from the warbonds and not counting the rare 100 SC drop.
yeah and those things reduce the time to 1000 by half.
Unfortunately, it doesn't.
Because you've already redeemed all the Warbond SC and 100-drops are too rare.
100-drops average at about 1 per 60-100 hours of gameplay.
you can get 2 warbonds relatively quickly, but third and fourth are grindy as frick.
so you better choose the right ones
this is what the useful idiot cucks don't get
"I haven't had to pay for anything yet! I'm just playing normally!!!" yeah it's built in that way because that's how drug dealers work, the first high is free
it's not sustainable with monthly warbonds to get them from normal gameplay
do people think they didn't consider this when planning their monetization strategy? the game is designed to get you spending money on it
>"I haven't had to pay for anything yet! I'm just playing normally!!!" yeah it's built in that way because that's how drug dealers work, the first high is free
>it's not sustainable with monthly warbonds to get them from normal gameplay
damn thats crazy....
anyway i got 114 hours and have made over 4k credits just playing the game casually
I'm sitting at 44 hours and only have 1 warbond, and that's with the SC you unlock from the free warbond.
What changes in hours 45-114 for me to get what you get?
I play normally, usually on Helldive. We always do full map clears.
the free warbond gets you 750 credits, you also should have 300 for each war bond in general. you can get on average around 30-50 super credits per normal 40 minute mission. its quite easy to rack up credits
See
if the warbonds continue being such dogshit why even buy them?
Because I have 10k SC
oh you just think you're sooooo cool just because you farmed up all that SC before the devs patched the exploit huh give me some ;_;
>join trivial mission
>get all the question marks
>quit mission before it ends and keep all of them
how did they nerf this exactly?
Where are you scrapping this data from? You are just making shit up based on your own personal gameplay? Oo a single sample size, so empiricle
Google "Helldivers 2 Super Credits" and every forum post or chat room post says about the same thing.
The only dissenting opinion is on here, and exclusively from replies aimed towards people complaining about the grind.
I got two 100 SC drops within 3 hours of playtime on difficulty 7 last night. I do not farm for SC and I have never paid for SC but I've also bought every warbond and SC purchasable armor in the game. I also have over 2000 SC ready for future purchases with only 150 hrs of playtime total. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
it is like 2 hours to farm super credits solo in lvl 1 mission for a war bond, even faster with a friend
in this case you've had your time stolen
you spent 2 hours running in circles instead of actually playing the game or doing something else like push ups or cleaning your room
damn dude i'll try my best to cope with that knowledge
in this case you've had your time stolen
you spent 1 minute reading and typing out that message of actually browsing the internet or doing something else like push ups or cleaning your room
Dude they set a very generous pick up rate for medal and super credit comparing the standard you see in other live service game. You should be able to earn everything at a decent rate, if are not a boomer with 3 kid or a wagie. If anything the super credit it more of a normie/wagie tax. It took them month to finally patch out the SC farm exploit, and even then it wasn’t fully removed. They also didn’t ban anyone who obviously abuse the shit out of it, since they can easily check whether buy them or use exploit gather SC as a ridicules rate. Not to sound like a full shill, but you got to give credit when company don’t go full greedy shit head.
>do nothing
>time stolen
So it survived more than one month but you still hate actually playing the game
Instead of dead FOTM slop its this shit
You probably dont even play the gaem

Did they buff the flamer?
Feels like its able to melt chargers way faster
was allready op against bugs before but feels more consistent now
They buffed it a long while ago and they go down quick if you focus on one leg
weird, i use it everytime and it feels a bit better now.
maybe just placebo or they fixed some of the buggy fire mechanics finally
love the game. got about 200 hours in it. think I'm gonna take a break for a few months though and check it out later. these constant nerfs to everything I find fun are getting old. not having fun anymore.
just completed a diff 7 and extracted without dying once.
Havent had this much fun with a new game in a long while, my biggest issue and its more of an autism issue is that when the character I drop in with dies and I get reinforced I kinda lose interest because "I" am dead
hate it when i get teamkilled before extraction or something makes me reeee internally

i just always audibly say "hwhoops" and wait for the retribution on mic/chat
Don't forget incendiary grenades anon.
Fire damage only sometimes doesnt work for non-hosts btw
I play with the incendiary grenades and my friend uses all fire build
Both of our fire does damage, though I'm 50% non-hosts do reduced damage or something
>8 mins left
>entire team is alive and next to extraction zone

>it just fricking dips and leaves the rest of the team behind
Why do they keep doing the nerf and buff carousel while bugs like this are still around?
It happens if the Pelican takes too much damage apparantly. I've seen it happen a few times too. morons kept dropping 500kg bombs directly on extract and the pilot left their asses behind. Kek
Doesn't matter as long as the guy with the samples goes on first jej, otherwise gg.wp.
FRICK HUNTERS
The WoW thread is over there
Now that the Counter Sniper got giga-buffed, I find zero reason to bring the AMR with me anymore, instead I replaced it with the Railgun, my designated Hulk eraser
Tell me how it does against Gunships.
I've not seen anyone mention if its better or the same against them now.
why is it always some larping going on when i see anything about this game "LOL DUDE LEAKED GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS!!! LOL THE BAD BUG MEN DONT FLY ITS JUST A LIE, LIKE THE CAKE!!! LOL THE PRESIDENT OF EARTH IS GIVING US A NEW MISSION HOLY SHIT GUYS EPIC!!!"

>"Good that's one less loose end."
If you see someone waiting like that, kill them first problem solved. The fact that the game lets people kill people sitting in the shuttle with no consequences is literally aids.
I wait a distance from the pelican for this reason alone, they're always dumb morons that stand away from the pelican and ADS at me.
I always catch the frickers first and grab any samples they have unless they're host, not risking it.
THEY BUFFED THE RR RELOAD
elaborate, does it reload faster?
It noticeable.
>Tell me how it does against Gunships.
now that you mention it...8 near fully charged shots to the thruster to down one...Ah nevermind, that's the autocannon-ers job, not mine 🙂 My job is killing devastators and hulks
meant for
That sounds similar to what it was before this patch.
Maybe it's also 8 on safe mode?
Either way it's clearly not the best option but frick it I'll give it a shot later.
the railgun doesn't do any extra damage, just armor pen, so that's probably why
Does the flame ship module increase direct spray damage on the FW? I was told the FW cone doesn't actually deal fire damage and that's why it works for non hosts.
There's a difference between the direct fire damage (when holding down the trigger) and the fire DoT (when an enemy/player is on fire). The module only buffs the latter and the latter is still bugged and only works for the host.
We've heard your concerns over flame hulks doing too much damage and have fixed the issue by reducing fire damage.
This includes (You)'re damage as well of course because spaghetti code. Blah Blah Blah we're also nerfing your favorite gun because frick you.
Why all NPC on the ship are Black folk?

Nah but a common trope in space futuristic stuff is that all humans got some level of melanin added through genetic augmentation (good for space flight due to increased heat radiation and protection from UV radiation exposure), but they kept the other genes. But realistically its because they're Swedish cuck devs, at least it was a WMBF in the opener instead of the usual BMWF trope.
It's the shape of the faces you have to look at really, thats what will determine what race they are in this type of future.
The color of your crew is random. There's Asian, Hispanic, Indian and Whites too.
My crew has Greek names, while the race of my hanger crew changes sometimes. The named crew doesn't change though.
the game adjusts them based on your porn searches
Oh yeah?
Where are the bunny anthro girls crewmembers then?

game runs like shit now, thanks, ADHD studios
I crashed 7 time yesterday.
Every single time I was in a t7 bot ice world, was sniping bots with my sickle halfway across the map on a crossfire for my team, and could see a dead enemy that had decided to become stretched out into the sky a little bit, glitching a lovely no texture purple.
Every single time it was 30m into a mission, I was hoarding the samples because crossfire sniping is safer and I always end up with 2.5x the kills of my team, kill all the small bots so they can't call in bot drop, and kill half their heavies with a quasar.
No it's not my PS5, the game is just unable to handle those ranges sometimes for some reason anymore.
>No it's not my PS5
Shit you're crashing on a ps5? Were you hosting? Regsrdless that's pretty bad.
This is on arrowhead.
Constantly. Like 1/2 of my bot games have me crash near the end and its always bots. Never bugs though, bugs seem more stable.
1 person always disconnects too 15mins in every single game even if I'm not host kek, I rarely leave a game with all 4 that I started with.
I'm not enjoying the increased spawn rate of mobs either, someone said were getting twice the breach and drop rates too, alongside a 56% increase in patrols for solo and I feel it, I get absolutely swarmed on bugs regardless of where I drop now too on some planets before I can even consider stealth, getting that under control or escaping with random is tough even on 7 that I dropped down to recently so I tried solo, which also got "nerfed".
I get the idea of linear scaling, but I don't have all the buffs of a 4 man squad or the adaptability of 4 guys specialised loadouts, so solo is becoming a bit too difficult at the moment for me, combined with the extra drops and it's a bit nutty.
Either way, patch is aids.
>56% increase in patrols for solo
I don't play solo and even I think this is bullshit. They haven't even relaunched the distraction stratagem from the first game.
I play duo only and we definitely notice an increase in patrols but it's manageable with two people. The way AH explained it makes it sounds like we would get less patrols than a solo player.
>in private game with friends
>mis-input reinforce call, get SOS instead since they're one input difference
>rando homosexuals join the match
>this is the fourth time I've done this in a single month
fricking stupid moron devs for making this even a possible problem, jesus christ. they wont ever change sos's input will they? this is going to be a continual problem for ever that is never addressed.
For those who can play
how's the counter sniper now? On paper, looks great.
Feels great, one shotting devs in the head and the small guys in one shot. The ammo economy is still a bit meh but otherwise it's really fun
Interdasting, I like using the base diligence vs bots, but if this means better usage against devestators then count me in
Are this shits actually coming into the game or was it just fricking misinformation shitters shilling their art
Some have said we get automatons instead of SEAF Grunts with the upcoming NPC deployment stratagem.

can someone explain to me how is this more fun?
like yeah, I should just aim better, but it just feels like a really arbitrary penalty
Apparently we are playing the game wrong by having fun shooting robots and bugs. Apparently we are supposed to suffer and constantly be aggravated by stupid game mechanics that insta-kill us at random.
it's really such a disorienting change - one that I feel is currently understated. I can't imagine one person who thought "hmm, you know what's missing? constant threat of death if you don't hit an enemy's weakspot."
I feel genuinely confused how such a change not only entered a developer's mind, but was actually implemented through the spaghetti code that prevents simple changes like the spear's lock on function to remain unfixed for months. The person who made the change had a vision, and that vision was player suffering.
The change to stalkers is pretty aids too, heaven forbid you get randoms that can't deal with them.
Finding the base is just "search for this shaped rock within 300m" rather than actually tracking them back to their base now as the devs stated we should be doing.
It feels like a constant game of
>Hey players, do the thing
>Wait the players are doing the thing. They're doing the thing EXTREMELY WELL
>Stop them from doing the thing!
Devs already said on discord that it's a bug.
How are you guys so whiny and dramatic all the time?
How are the devs so incompetent and moronic all of the time?
good question
I am not apologetic, it definitely sucks that they introduce a lot of new bugs everytime and don't test their shit but this whiny attitude of
>whaa they hate us, they hate fun!
is so fricking annoying. behave like a man, not like some crying teenager.
>make a legitimate complaint about a mechanic that's happening
You're impotent whining is far from legitimate. Don't be such a sissy.
It's a stupid bug, yes but not a personal attack you mong.
>I am not apologetic, it definitely sucks that they introduce a lot of new bugs everytime and don't test their shit but this whiny attitude of
>is so fricking annoying. behave like a man, not like some crying teenager.
that sounds incredibly apologetic to me.
a dev's goal should be to introduce the least amount of bugs into their game. so when they have a number of game-breaking bugs and they stack more on top of that, they're in fact stating that they hate you
>>It's a stupid bug, yes but not a personal attack you mong.
I never said it was a personal attack? I'm criticizing the devs for not fixing shit or implementing even more bugs and implementing a mechanic that supposedly isn't even working properly.
Do you want me to coddle them and tell them "Oh they'll fix it soon enough I'm sure :)"
It's not my job to sugarcoat it. I'm not sending devs death threats or personally insulting them, I just think the direction they are going is misguided at best, moronic at the worst.
And it's not like they'll ever read this shit, aside from a rando employee on his phone on the shitter.
>add annoying new feature
>don't playtest it
How are you guys so apologetic and submissive all the time? this sounds WAY FRICKING WORSE than your actual strawman. Nice self portrait.
these are your devs, day something nice about them
I'm surprised they actually play missions at all.
>be developer
>make the game you yourself are playing
>have no idea how armor and damage works for different weapons and enemies that you've made
I'll never understand how the people that code these mechanics and relationships between weapons and enemies+maps are even worse at the game they've created than the average normalhomosexual that picks up then drops the game all on a whim. Back in the oldschool, devs would playtest their games over and over again and make them harder because they got used to the mechanics and thought audiences would beat it too damn fast like they did. Now you have people like the DBD dev who got absolutely clowned on and destroyed by the flashlight meta he said didn't exist and webms like the HD2 one you replied to.
>make a legitimate complaint about a mechanic that's happening
>oh the devs mentioned on discord they're going to fix it, don't be dramatic
Ok? It's still in the game and it's not like we know when the devs are going to fix it considering they still haven't fixed shit like fire damage not working properly for anyone not host or how the game just breaks when you're using FPS mode.
And I'm not skimming through their fricking discord to find out if they're going to fix something they should have actually playtested a bit.
>is in change log
>nah it's a bug bro, trust me
So I guess the devs knew about this new bug, shipped the patch with it and boast about it in the change logs, or your just a Black personhomosexual.
this is surprisingly common in this game
i'm glad oyu mentioned it because the same happened with darktide
Yeah I know, I've head my fair share of ricochets from the AC pop other helldivers, fortunately everyone but one has taken it with humor.
Wow, it's almost like you should lead with that rather then some shitty chudjak, you brobdingnagian gorilla Black personhomosexual.
pic related, moron
>that sounds incredibly apologetic to me
maybe because you're sensitive. You can call out the devs without being dramatic about it.
>they're in fact stating that they hate you
No they're not, you're just being wierdly emotional over a video game.
>maybe because you're sensitive. You can call out the devs without being dramatic about it.
all your posts are just "you are a chud if you complain about this, the devs said x in twitter/discord/whatever stop whining" like this makes me feel better about them pushing bugs they knew about to production
>them pushing bugs they knew about
Source? The message reads more like it slipped through like so many other bugs.
You just assume malice and personal attacks without any reason but AH is just incompetent and it really is that simple.
And again, I never said you can't complain, but turning this into some emotional drama is pathetic and you should grow a pair asap.
>Source? The message reads more like it slipped through like so many other bugs.
ten minutes of playtime has the bug show up sooooooo no, they knew about it.
Didn't happen once in my 2 hours I tested the new patch yesterday.
The punisher plasma being unusable with a shieldpack is a way more obvious and glaring issue that should've come up earlier.
if you shoot the broadside of a charger with an autocannon, it'll happen once every 20 shots on average soooooo
no
they knew about it
they chose to publish it anyway just like how they chose to publish a fire damage buff to the flamethrower when they knew the DoT was busted for the host .
you're just being apologetic for bad game design.
>The devs couldn't know about (Obvious, game-breaking bug) stp being a meanie to the devs!!!
More apologetic bootlicking
The DoT bug for fire still isn't fixed yet and the reticle for the sniper is still misaligned. They "know about" a lot of bugs but don't fix it because they have morons crumping the shit from their butthole straight as it comes out like you.
How cute, tell us your next apologetic cope
>stp being a meanie to the devs!!!
Tell me where I said this.
>The DoT bug for fire still isn't fixed yet and the reticle for the sniper is still misaligned. They "know about" a lot of bugs but don't fix it because they have morons crumping the shit from their butthole straight as it comes out like you.
No, you just expect too much of them.
And if you had >89IQ you'd know that this isn't me protecting them but jsut acknkowledging them being incompetent devs.
Youre wierd narrative of me trying to protect them just doesn't add up. For the record:
AH devs are moronic and you are a whiny, dramtic pussy.
Both are true at the same time.
>Tell me where I said this.
Almost every one of your posts is just "stop whining the game has problems but the devs are working on it" which is the most mewling passive aggressive defense for incompetent devs that one can do.
>stop whining
YES!
>the game has problems but the devs are working on it
also true but that's not what I said.
You're just stupid.
I said that you can shit on the devs but don't make it so emotional.
All I'm saying is that the devs are dumb and incompetent (I already said that multiple times now, I wonder how this is still me defending them. please explain) but that they don't hate the players and that they are not acting out of malice.
We're sitting at a table and a waiter brings our food and he slips and falls every time.
You suddenly start crying that the waiter hates you when it's obvious that he's just a moron that picked the wrong carreer.
You reaction is just wrong considering what is currently happening. You're conflating stupidtiy with malice but you also seem to enjoy doing it.
People are not going to stop pointing out if something is shit if it hasn't been fixed yet. It shouldn't take more than a day for a full team to fix these new interactions given they knew of its existence before shipping out this slop, and yet there is no fix. Curious...
Or maybe the devs should playtest their game and ship the patch without introducing new bugs?
>muh sensitive
It's a product that you pay money for to play it. What kind of cucked mentality is this?
If the devs are incompetent, they should unfrick themselves or take more time to fix their mess instead of introducing more problems.
Just how fricking dense are you?
Calling AHs stupid morons that make too many mistakes and deliver a bad service is totally fine and I subscribe to that idea.
But crying
>devs actually hate us!
>they did it on purpose!
is dramatic sissy homosexual talk from a paranoid little c**t.
Learn the difference.
so literally
>shut up whiny chud leave the devs alone!!!!
Nah, Black person, I can do whatever the frick I want. Half of the shit they change is by their moronic design, which the playerbase has to suffer for.
Why are you so defensive about it, are you an AH dev or some shit?
Anyway, broski, have a nice day, you're wasting oxygen.
>Nah, Black person, I can do whatever the frick I want.
And you want to be a pathetic crybaby? dumb gay.
>Half of the shit they change is by their moronic design, which the playerbase has to suffer for.
Suffer?
It's a fricking video game mate. No one suffers. Mabye you do because you're sensitive.
>Why are you so defensive about it, are you an AH dev or some shit?
>Anyway, broski, have a nice day, you're wasting oxygen.
I'm not defensive. I think it's shit what they do but your perspective is even worse. You talk as if people are dying and as if it's som great offense when it's not.
You are overreacting, simple as. I get the impression that you're literally crying as you type.
>LEAVE THE DEVS ALONE
>>all your other dumb dogshit replies you've made this thread
>"ummmm stop criticizing product they already said they're aware of the issue!"
no
Ok, how many times do I have to tell you that it's fine to critisize them but putting on a pink dress and crying your eyes out while you do makes you look like an emotional homosexual?
How hard is that to understand?
>I WANT TO WHINE HOW I WANT >:(
Well then I'm gonna call you a gay and you can pretend I'm defending the devs all you want, still makes you look gay as frick.
>but putting on a pink dress and crying your eyes out while you do makes you look like an emotional homosexual?
no one said this
no one did this
no one was going to say this or do this
>>I WANT TO WHINE HOW I WANT >:(
This is literally you trying to force some narrow vision on how people "should" complain about a product. If anything it'd make people even more wary and untrusting of the game's current state if all criticism is now being met by the likes of (You).
>This is literally you trying to force some narrow vision on how people "should" complain about a product
Yes.
There is a fine line between valid criticism and
>the devs hate us!
(literal quote from ITT btw.)
And I'm going to point it out when I see it and when it makes you wary then I don't give a shit.
>Yes.
Thanks for confirming you're just a manipulative disingenuous moron right before the thread ends. Better late than never.
You're just dumb. From the very beginning I was attacking your choice of words and rhetoric. Never did I say anything else.
The whole
>you're bootlicking, defending the devs
is something you made up. I just called you a gay for behaving like one and now you finaly realise it and now you act as if that was some hidden 4D chess mind game of mine.
You utter moron.
>the dev does something i dont like
>im giving money to the dev and im entitled to call him a homosexual
>you have to step in and defend the dev
lol you absolute cuck you are acting like the nice guy simping after a girl who will never date him
Probably just a severe case of cash shop bagholder, unable to cope with the amount of money he's dumped into this game if it turns out the game actually kind of sucks ass.
fixed a bug where players would have fun
prove it b***h
>Robotics Workshop
>7/8
FIX IT!!!!!!!!! FIX IT homosexualS!!!!!!! OOOOH MYY GODDD JUST FRICKING FIX IT troonygayS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
get your head checked anon, this really shouldn't bother you this much tbh
no melee dont care
it's called f for gay-bash
well yeah i just meant no melee WEAPON dont care. i want my handheld pile bunker
with how slow the devs are to even implement small fixes, I have little faith in melee weapons being implemented even within the year.
DOT bug still not fixed.
Apparently there's another patch this week?
What's the point of the Diligence? Not the Counter Sniper, that one's the specific sniper primary now, but the ordinary Diligence? It seems redundant and pointless.
More ammo, less recoil, only slightly less damage, 25m minimum zero vs 50 on the counter.
You're right that both shouldn't exist together. The game's full of moronic decisions.
I found the counter sniper is slower to move too, with the diligence I have no problem quickly moving from target to target but with the counter it takes a moment longer for the circle to meet the dot.
When will they allow team reload with the same guy having the launcher and the backpack
It makes no fricking sense, how is the reloader even grabbing the ammo from his own back? A fast reload would require him to take the ammo from the other's backpack
I sure love Patrols conveniently spawning when I'm doing a side objective
I think Swedes have no sense of sarcasm and when they read comments like this they think people actually love the shit they do
i dont mind it because it adds to the tension except for the fricking door
nothing is more frustrating then my teammate trying to kill the endless waves instead of just fricking opening the door and GTFOing
>complete all objectives
>all outposts done
>stratagems on CD
>we're really low on reinforcments and have a good amount of samples collected
>ok lets just play safe and get to extraction, we should be good to go by then
>random moron just opens fire on a patrol with hulks on it and drags everyone into a fire fight
>get wiped
i'm just gonna kick people who do this shit now
>team mates being annoying b***hes
>play nice untill the end
>kill everyone in the the pelican taunt in chat and leave
I just don't understand why randoms have to shoot every patrol they see, like a dog going after a squirrel
i made the mistake today of accidentally aggroing a patrol because someone perpendicular to it marked the patrol like they were going after it, but then they turned and ran at the last minute just as my quasar hit it.
not teamkilling is easy.
think a single second before you do something and the results will be much more effective.
The only excusable teamkill is getting ragdolled while trying to throw a stratagem
Does it count as teamkilling if I call down a reinforcement on the bile titan harassing me, and use the reinforcement as both a weapon and a distraction so I can get away?
it depends
Stop running into my orbitals and eagles
RED BEAM BAD
Shiny light good
>barely complete the mission, no reinforcements left
>loot all super samples

I HATE SWEDES I HATE SWEDES I HATE SWEDES
did they change how the spore spewers looked to reflect their new armored status?
no
armored spore spewers? Do they need anti-tank now or is it a hellbomb job?
iirc 3 EATs
2 for me.
they need the same damage to take out as shriker nests now
Picture if they made a patch change called "added chuck's suck and frick", and you know what its going to turn into, and you know what the devs are going to patch it into, but no one else knows what is going to become of it because it'll be a very subtle change. So, do you enjoy it while it lasts or do you rightfully call the devs out for adding something they knew they would have to change because everyone knows they will have to change it except people who don't get it.
That's how I felt about the Quasar Cannon
Does RR one shot hulks from the front? AC + stun grenade if they are close seems to be unmatched but I am tired of how good and versatile the AC is.
Yes it does. AMR also 2 shots ine the face, no need to waste stuns unless its a rocket hulk. Go prone just as flame one lights up the flamer before burst.
two if you don't hit the slot
>sentries don't kill you when you go prone
>except when they do
Problem here prob was the bug at the start is following you and the sentry will try to zap it right as its at the last stair up and youre in between them at that point.
Works on flat ground for me ezcept when bugs get close. Which is why I dont use the zappy turret sadly.
sentries have a modifier to track helldivers, mark my words
I would not be suprised considering the cluster launcher triggering from everything between helpod lids to a secered finger. Propably your own models legs when prone too lol.
I have to admit that firing it, realizing the range of the cluster, and subsequently dying was hilarious. Sort of like when my AC turret ragdolls me, I can't help but laugh.
