Unironically this >Noooo you have to complete 3+ missions or super earth loses soldier.
Frick off. Each mission should be independent. Make the impact less or something if you don't opt for the whole theatre.
They should simply make it like it was in helldivers 1: You only fail the op if you abandon it, and if you fail the mission you can attempt it again.
They really had some good ideas like allowing you to win even if you don't extract and you finish all the objectives (because it simply makes sense), but the operation structure together with it not contributing to the war if you don't complete every mission is just not fun tbh.
>Planet at 88% one day >back at 20% the next day
I mean, if the 'game master' they have running this shit just arbitrarily does what ever the frick he wants regardless of the actual percentage bars, why would anyone give a shit?
This so much. Who gives a fricking shit? Galactic war is one big Tantrum from the devs arbitrarily resetting progress. They precisely plan when you are allowed to acess new content and what planets are won or lost. Might as well just sit back and do whatever the frick you want - since you can't actually win against these homosexuals and their railroad.
If you lose one of the tree missions, it counts as a loss to the war front. People spamming those defense missions but abandoning the rescue one is warping the entire thing as registered losses.
>War goes terribly >Battle lines progress all the way to the Sol system >Get to fight in secret bombed out urban maps on Earth the devs never expected us to actually see. >Maybe even get an event where multiple squads on one map have to fend off an onslaught of not-tyranids or chainsaw-wielding rapebots
I can dream.
>morons waste all the reinforcements >use reinforcement right after the cooldown wore off as we were rushing to extraction point >moron intentionally lands at me
frick this piece of shit of a game
Two impact grenades anywhere on the tank turrets destroys them, sometimes takes three with the big cannon variant but it's consistent with the machine turret one. This is probably a unintended feature so abuse it as much as you can now.
>democracy
But it's not democracy, it's fascism. The war with the Automatons could end tomorrow if Super Earth wanted it, but instead they chose to send millions of people to their deaths to preserve their consumptionist economy.
Imagine saying this and then making the biggest failure of satire of all time. There is not a single good satire of fascism because liberals don't know what fascism is. It's impossible satirize what you don't understand. Every attempt to satirize fascism has wound up having the opposite effect, this game included.

I find the author of starship troopers very interesting cause he's basically a super liberal free love type hippy that also lived a majority of his life in the military and working civil service jobs and really loving his time in those things and it gives all his works a really weird a hyper specific kinda lense

The hilarious thing is that while Verhoeven's ironic cynical disdain for Heinlein's ideals is clear, he actually performs one major directorial/writing failure which transforms his satire into anti-satire. He never once actually breaks the narrative of the humans being the good guys.
The narrative he actually puts up on screen is in fact, even more utopian, more one-sided, and more idealized than Heinlein's own description of his fictional society, which clearly still takes part in politically aggressive interventionist wars ala the US, suffers from an excessive burden of people vying for citizenship and not enough civil service for all of them requiring the manufacturing of an excessive bureaucracy just to send people off to shit jobs to earn their votes.
It doesn't matter that he swears up and down that it's satire, the practical product of his efforts doesn't make that impact on the majority of the audience who watches his movie, meaning that he's failed his primary goal as an artist, which is to put the audience into his frame of mind and make them experience what he wants.
In fact, the majority of people who watch Starship Troopers probably end up experiencing nearly the opposite of what Verhoeven intended them to.
Also, the obvious, >Outspoken lefty Hollywood director thinks that a Constitutionally Representative Republic with democratically elected leaders, universal healthcare and welfare, a liberal, low regulation economy, 100% volunteer army and navy, no evident censorship of any kind, is fascist, and portrays his feelings by dressing some of the characters in almost cartoonishly obvious SS uniforms.
Super Earth and the Federation of Starship Troopers are such perfect societies. Way better than than the society we live in. Our civilization was destroyed by liberalism and antifascists.
The 'problem' with Starship troopers is they never show the bugs as anything but unsympathetic, so something as silly as black uniforms and televised corporal/capital punishment seems rather minor at that point. It's rather hard to feel empathy towards something that eats human brains as a form of interrogation

The universe is a dark forest and you are hunting in it, you see something in the dark, do you stop and risk saying hi or do you take a shot in the dark cause it might be dangerous?
The theory says alien races would default to killing eachother, cause communication is hard and with how fast tech can develop in a unverse timeframe, everybody is a potential threat, cause pulling the trigger is just so much safer in the end. "Three Body Problem" is the book series if you are interested, aliens hiding cause some higher tech species would eradicate them also servers as a solution for the Fermi Paradox..

Black person it will literally be a thousand years before the signals from SETI touch a single percent of our galaxy. The time scales at which information travels through space are so long that this theory proves moronic, because any signals from the "dark forest" are at least thousands of years old. You can't "strike first" unless you're certain that the point of origin you're viewing from eons ago is actually where they'll be when your attack reaches them (which will be at least the same length of time that information took to reach you assuming your weaponry can reach near lightspeed and you attack as soon as you receive this evidence of another civilization).
So not only are these signals you're oh so afraid of from thousands of years ago, but any attack you would make would have thousands of years to be made irrelevant, because space is just that fricking big.

Due to the size of the universe existence of a multitude of alien civilizations is a nigh certainty.
Now lets presume two civillizations exist in a relatively short distance of one another. 5 Light years as a benchmark.
Assuming civ A meets civ B, what are their options? >Communicate >Attack
Communication instantly makes the location of your planet known to the civ B.
If the tech level of civ B is much lower than yours, it may very well change by the time you arrive. Travelling at 10% the speed of light would mean it'll take you 500 years to reach the enemy. During that time your enemy is bound to make leaps in technology.
Think of the science from 500 years ago vs now.
This is called a scientific boom. It can occur at any time during a civ life cycle and it effectively makes all attempts at diplomacy null.
Even if you're the bigger civ at the moment and reach out to a smaller one, they might turn the tables on you by the time your fleet is a quarter of the way to them.
The only reasonable option is to eradicate the other civ as fast as possible while hiding away your own presence and location.
If there are many civs in the vast cosmos, and someone knows where yours is located then they might relay that knowledge to the rest of the universe.
As we've already established, no other option than eradication is reasonable, so any civ that learns of your existence will be forced to eradicate you as soon as they find out that you exist.
The Dark forest means that there's an astounding amount of life in cosmos but you may never see or show it.
Additionally, its very likely that you are not the most tech advanced civ out there, taking the age of the universe into account.
A hypothetical civ with unfathomable tech could very well have the capability to easily destroy all known civs at a low cost(Relativistic projectiles)
Essentially >Civ A finds out about Civ B >Civ A relays location of Civ B to universe >Civ B gets snuffed out instantly by Civ C

It is, it'd be stupidly impractical
We currently have theoretically feasible ways of accelerating a spacecraft to nearly the speed of light.
The nuclear spacecraft theory was created by a former nazi rocket scientist post ww2 and basically stated that a series of controlled nuclear explosions could propell a spacecraft to nearly the speed of light.
Ths math checks out but its moronicly impractical.
Also space dilation is a thing so yoy don't even need colony ships for faraway travel.
Anything that gets close to the speed of light will perceive its own time mich slower than that of the outside.
You could very well make it fairly far even within a single generation.

How can anyone actually be sympathetic to bugs though
Hilariously, so was theirs, just many decades ago. 100% serious when I say the Federation was formed when a bunch of military vets came home to a desyroyed country overrun with crime and degenerates because the intellectual ruling class completely botched everything up, and the vets couldn't get compensated for their work due to there being no money to offer.
TL;DR the vets took matters in their own hands and publicly executed a few people responsible for the whole of society falling apart to send a message. Once law and order was established, the Federation was eventually born as more people chose to follow suit.
The Civilian/Citizen situation exists solely because the people who formed the Federation knew that some people are not willing to do what's morally right for the better of society, so those people are granted as much freedoms as virtually possible OTHER than the freedom to vote or hold political office, because you must prove you are willing to selflessly serve in the name of your peers and to uphold the body politics to defend your peers rights over personal gain.
Military conscription is gruelingly hard, quitting is always 100% free (with the only two exceptions being in active live combat, and serving punishment for your frick ups), and quiting holds absolutely ZERO punishments other than barring you from ever being able to enlist again.

the commentary for that scene by him his hilarous
he literally says >uh-oh here come the guys in black uniforms. thats how you know this isn't good and that they are bad
The thing is that every single movie he makes, he states that it's meant to be satire, and how much he hates the heroic portrayal of its subject matter in media. He said he dislikes gore and violence.
And he made Robocop. The violence was supposedly meant to be subversive.
Then he made Total Recall.
Paul Verhoeven is the best worst film director of all time. He's incompetent in all the best ways and all his mistakes and strange ideas of storytelling just made him push out some of the greatest feats of action cinema ever.
And don't forget his incomplete grasp of the English language which has undoubtedly contributed to some of the best and funniest lines in movie history.

Humans got a brain bug, which is a massive upside for them. They are a literal hive mind, and have acquired the mind. It's not going good for the bugs.

If you think about it, this sort of lefty thinking is the root of so many political issues right now, especially in Europe.
Consider the bugs from Ender's Game compared to Starship Troopers if you really want to try to empathize with bugs. >Bugs in Starship Troopers realize other species aren't hive minds like them, each individual meatbag is an entire hive unto itself holy shit >Immediately use this to enslave individuals and subvert their multi-mind governments
>Bugs in Ender's Game realize Humans are not a hive mind, (in fact need to comprehend the idea that an advanced society could develop that ISNT a hive mind, to them killing a few thousand Humans was the equivalent to a non-lethal punch in the nose because that's how losing non-queens is for them) >Holy shit wait that means every Human we killed is the equivalent of murdering an entire hive >guilt trip their entire species to near-extinction
>being capable of empathy and understanding the other side means you're secretly a inhuman evil monster
yeah and i bet you think people who are scared of spiders secretly want to frick them
Were the bugs capable of empathy and understanding the other side?
in Starship Troopers the film, the brain bugs were capable of feeling fear and of literally drinking human minds to steal their memories
in Starship Troopers 2, a bad Aliens riff, they were capable of eating human beings from the inside out and mimicking them as infiltrator reverse vore rape pod people for the purpose of destroying the entire Federation from the inside out
in Starship Troopers 3, a bad late '00s anti-religion/Bush riff, a reasonably planetoid-fractional sized God Bug is capable of using the captured Brain Bug from the first film to mind control a Sky Marshall into believing that it's capital g God and that bugs & humans can coexist; he is shocked when the God Bug reveals (through corpse sockpuppets) that peace comes through all humans being violently subsumed into the hive mind and 'pacified' (eaten/puppeted/brain drained) https://youtu.be/1SX2qs8-eNk?t=229
in Roughneck Chronicles, the Brain Bugs again reveal through Carl Jenkins that the bugs are going to kill all humans as a matter of course and that there can be no coexistence except through extermination and assimilation
even in the original novel, the bugs are shitheel standins for the Eastern Bloc and with no 'Super Earth is starting this shit through mass prole oppression' shtick as with the Cyborgs, they're just engaged in border provocation until the Federation decides to go into a hot war with the monarcho-communist Arachnoids
I don't think any of the other Starship Troopers media I haven't yet watched is any more charitable
>Far in teh future >Bugs are gang raping and eating human women that they keep as cattle >Some limp wristed homosexual not part of the risistance >Blurting out in guttural trash bug language. >"Well, at least we are not speaking human am i right?"
no, in the clear mythological echoes of Starship Troopers the Federation=Roman Republic, Bugs=Carthage, subhuman literal baby eater semitics are traded for inhuman people eater bugs, CARTHAGO DELENDA EST
Anyone know how super credit pickups work? I thought each one was worth 10, but is it actually a variable amount?
I'm pretty sure I was at 770 earlier, did 1 mission where I found 4 SC pickups (which I think I read is the maximum) and ended up at 900. Not sure if it's bugged, or if they're randomly giving it out because of server issues or some shit.
This is all in solo play btw, I haven't been playing with randoms at all
40 per hour is the "projected average" some developer stated, but I can guarantee you that's a lowball for anyone halfway decent at the game who bothers to scavenge for caches. Even if each map is limited to 40, you could run at least two maps in an hour.
You may also have had some super credits from a previous mission arrive on delay.
>zero situatonal awarness >no security >everyone drops their mega weapons the instant they spawn >no one pulling security >zero attention to detail >no security
nta, but I got fooled the first time I dropped onto an ECM planet, dropped a 15 incher barrage on us. Thankfully it was so inaccurate that it didn't actually manage to kill anyone.
If the viewpoint player just stood there looking at it, it would be a simple comedy clip. But he was clearly still inputting his railgun call in. Well, maybe that was part of the skit too.
I absolutely love strong pro-human sentiments in scu fi, even id its a silly facism satire ornwhatever.
I don't really care i just my trive(humanity) to kill everything that doesn't look, think or behaves how we do.
Honestly i've been lowkey suspecting that the identity politica divisive politics bullshit might be a psychological operation by a faraway alien civ steadily disarming earth while their fleets travel throughout impossible cosmic lenghts
Lets assume they'll arrive 10k years from now, right?
That'd mean that even slightest bit of societal disruption and division would become a major strategic advantage so long as it slows our development as a species by even fraction of a percent. Especially seeing how human technology develops at an exponential rate
You would probably love this one creepypasta? that got posted some time ago.
Some anon was basically posting about a scifi concept with humans where we achieved galactic travel and we went off in search of intelligent life, but could never find it. Humans kept advancing like crazy far in tech and eventually build what they called a dreadnaught that was like several kilometers long and was massive.
Eventually they found the first contact of intelligent life and it was space fairing. But when they dropped outta hyper space near them, the aliens were freaking the frick out. Humans as a hsow of good faith dropped their shields and attempted to communicate but something went wrong and it came out super jumbled and static. One of the aliens freaked out and fired at them, and killed like 3 or 4 humans. The humans not wanting to frick up their first interaction with aliens turned tail and started to jump home but an alien ship was in their way and they just plowed through it to get home.
A bit later they found out that apparently the galaxy is SUPER densely populated where there are thousands of species all over the milky way all fighting for resources. The reasons humans never found any was because we basically lived in the galactic equivalent of the Bermuda triangle. Every civilization that ever tried to start in that area went insane and basically killed themselves.
So the aliens were freaking out because a massive ship bigger then any ship any race had ever seen jumped outta this forbidden space where nothing should be alive, spews a garbled static and gibberish, then plows through a battle cruiser and jumps back into this space of insanity.
So humans then leaned into it, and said frick it, and started to pretend they were crazy and these monstrous aliens. Always appearing in hulking power armor, using voice modulators, never being seen outside their armor.
Though to pull the greatest trick over every alien in the galaxy, you gotta be a bit crazy.
The thing is, rationally and realistically speaking no alien would be stupid enough to mistake what the human ship did. It killed some civvies on accident but it should be pretty clear from doing a post mortem on its behavior that it had no real hostile intent. Diplomacy would have ensued not very long after.
I liked that HFY.
Especially the bit where humanity starts observing other races inside the same sector and the one that got the farthest was a race of furries that got to the industrial revolution before comitting mass suicide.
The bit where a race of humanoid insectoids is born literally fighting each other was too on the nose though.
I'm rushing main objectives with no detours because the longer I'm in the game the more likely I am to disconnect and earn nothing. Don't blame me blame the game for being unstable. I'm not gonna spend an hour collecting samples just to have the server shit on me 30 seconds before extract.
Hey is this game fine now? have they added some servers? i've been thinking of buying it but got discouraged after seeing great numbers of people complaining about the servers
>get to difficulty 4 >game is pretty hard >get autocannon >game is pretty fun
I've been using it against bots from difficulty 4-8 and I love it so much.
What else should I be trying out? I'm not 20 yet but I enjoyed the recoiless vs bugs.
>Guys don't you see? The boogs are no different than you or me.
Why is identifying with literal insects a hill people are so desperate to die on they're basically pulling the pin on grenades so they can throw themselves on it?
>man, killing these alien bugs that eat our men, women and children, and also our brains, for no other reason than being on the planets they want to turn into hives, really just makes you feel for the poor little critters.
>man, killing these alien bugs that burn our families alive, for no other reason than us protecting our homes, really just makes you feel for the poor little critters
>protecting
Damn these guys must've been real bastards. But if immigrants show up on the same landmass you're on I guess you're just allowed to kill them all.
Y'know, it only just struck me that the bugs didn't even bother to eat those guys, just offed them and left the corpses where they fell. That's some wasteful thinking for insects.
You can break chargers back facing leg armor with medium pen weapons like autocannon, slugger, mg34 and impact grenade
Much harder to do solo with the slower firing weapons like slugger since it turns around quickly unless you bait it into a wall
Is this game worth playing if I don't have pals to play it with? It looks fun but as always with these games I can never tell if it'd be fun with strangers. Also I don't wanna do the wrong thing by accident and piss everybody off.
>Film is unquestionably and utterly non-subtly in-universe propaganda, all the way down to having countless shots specifically narrated and guided to the cameraman >All of the movie shows the horrors of war as tragedies to the MI and the innocents of the Federation by a paradoxically unthinking and utterly moronic yet hyper-competent and extremely intelligent bug menace, with countless obvious flaws of the Federation's policies and actions never once criticized or reflected on >New discourse is "Was the movie a satire/parody of fascism" instead of "Was this movie supposed to be an in-setting recruitment video that is as heroic as it is hypocritical?"
I'm legitimately of the opinion that there should be an intelligence test before we permit people into certain parts of the internet.
It was literally never at any point a propaganda movie in its entirety. Verhoeven speaks of it as an existing, real world. The news segments are the in-universe propaganda. The bits where the characters frick and go to school and shoot bugs are real.
>The bits where the characters frick and go to school and shoot bugs are real.
Those are quite literally the lynchpin for why the entire film is in-universe propaganda. The final sequence of the movie is quite literally listing off the main cast to the beat of narration identifying them and how close they are to the common to-be citizens they aim to recruit. It's not divorced from the rest of the news bulletins, it's woven directly into it. The entire story about the heroic Ubermensch Johnny Rico and the initial failed invasion of Klendathu with the following exceedingly heroic offense and defense and extraction mission is framed as a "This could be YOU!" story from start to finish, and it very openly concludes on it being obvious propaganda at the end. The entire film is a very obvious propaganda film made by the Federation to convince citizens to enlist. You can morally ascribe whatever feelings on FASCISM GOOD/BAD or whatever, but the reason it's a series of blatant ideals in the foreground with dozens of crippling problems in the background is intentional and by design.
>very obvious propaganda
Damn, someone should tell verhoeven. While they're at it tell him to throw in a reason why it's bad to fight against space bugs that want to eat you all if you're wearing a no-no costume.
Tell him why defending women and children from unreasonable space monsters is suppose to be satire because humanity wears trench coats and have medals on their chest? Please leftist subhuman since you're so obviously philosophically more aware than everyone else in the thread.

Again, you can't comprehend what I'm saying because you're too illiterate. Your stance is already pointlessly misguided, because I never once stated any positive or negative thoughts on the Federation's actions, but your thoughts are so clouded by your /misc/-flavored brain maggots that you think I'm your lefty enemy. My stance was singularly that the film is in-universe propaganda, and there's innumerable other sci-fi stories that have played with this concept, but your political religion is the most important thing to you. You're either illiterate or just mentally unwell.

What's wrong with propaganda if there's nothing depicted as incorrect or inhuman about it? Propaganda against humans is bad because they're still thinking, feeling humans. Making a big ad campaign about how we need to wipe out mosquitos isn't very evil. A little stupid maybe, but not evil.

>What's wrong with propaganda
You're already proving my point. I never said anything was wrong with the movie, nor did I say whether anything in it was good or bad. My irritation with the morons (yourself especially included making this present-day discourse is that you cannot process that the film itself is simply a propaganda piece. The Mobile Infantry fighting is just a necessity because they have a specific enemy that is highly dangerous. The Federation is highly incompetent and fails on many levels, but they still keep their planet safe and their troops well-armed. There is no point to an argument about whether or not their pretend fascism should be regarded as a good thing or not, because that's an irrelevant argument to the point of the film.

Again, verhoeven doesn't think so. >There is no point to an argument about whether or not their pretend fascism should be regarded as a good thing or not
Now that actually is 100% against what he thinks. He's firmly in the camp that they're completely in the wrong and that is the intended message. You've somehow taken his very basic premise and somehow turned it into pointless sludge when even by the directors word it's all very straightforward.
I just think he's both wrong and not very convincing about it.
>Leftoids are unironically trying to defend mindless bug monsters that literally kill and eat a pet Black person family in the games opening cutscene
crazy.
>whole week of full servers >afk kick finally implemented >stuck on ship loading screen >reinstall >get past loading screen >stuck on helldrop animation
over it tbh, going to claim the games advertising is misleading from the pov of my countries consumer protection laws and get a full refund @ 30 hours, this is pure early access garb
Why are you trying to defend alien parasites that will mindlessly kill and eat women and children? Subversion and satire are such a terrible cloak you leftist freaks try to hide under.
Kind of want it, kind of waiting until they unfrick shit.
All my friends are playing though and I have a feeling by the time armor is actually working and servers are stable, they'll all be burnt out because they are autistic fricks who are already level 24.
Well maybe he should've laid it on a bit thicker. You know, given a reason why they're bad, given a reason why there's anything wrong with them or what they're doing, you know, just make it really unsubtle.
corpse starch is good for you, you want to grow up strong to serve the Emperor don't you? DON'T YOU?
but really what are you going to do with Trillions of bodies? burn them? not feasible and actually wasteful
It's literally not possible to sustain your population on corpses unless your population is constantly massively shrinking, which it isn't (at least on a per world basis). Think about all the food it takes to grow a human compared to how much their body will provide.
The imperium has entire worlds for farming.
This is why Vaush was exposed as a pedophile degenerate. All you frickers with literal upside down morality to think defending your people from literal space monsters that decapitate and pulll people apart with razor sharp claws need to be killed.
your obsession with being a "good guy" is the reason why everyone hates you leftist trannies, and most of the time you wind up being the closest to the contrary, no such thing as good and evil, just who survives and can protect their own.
modded servers when? i want 8-16 player shitshows with increased spawns.
Literally never, their anti cheat makes modding the game impossible.
Humans are bad guys, but they aren't THE bad guys. The bugs are the bad guys, and the movie shows that the aspects of humanity that make them more like the bugs are bad qualities.
i liked it but it was really disappointing how they just abandoned it theres been like 0 new content since the first release and now its completely dead

YES we probably started a war with the bugs
YES we learned how to farm them for OIL
YES that probably has consequences so we kill them over and over
YES it is based, we're just making more oil
Every dead bug lets a new helldiver through the login queue
now that the dust has settled, what's the easiest and most efficient way to farm XP solo?
also thinking about redownloading the old build with the duplicate-stratagem exploit and using that to my advantage with mortars or something idk
i'm level 50 and experience has been irrelevant since level 20, what are you expecting to gain? also seriously doubt the devs are THAT incompetent that you can somehow connect an old build to a constantly online auth server and exploit it
>also seriously doubt the devs are THAT incompetent that you can somehow connect an old build to a constantly online auth server and exploit it
you'd be surprised, i tried downgrading after the patch and it worked fine
maybe there's a "grace period" for people to be able to keep playing immediately after a patch, i guess there's no guarantee it'll work now but it can't hurt to try
dif 9 bot defense in random MM
did it for a few hours today and every group except one knew the strat of mortar turret, ems mortar turret, autocannon turret
it's the best farm for xp, req, and medals
still gotta play regular matches for samples though
I'll never understand the point bug lovers are trying to make. >So they're bug monsters?

Forever and ever
They just love to gloss over the fact that the bugs fricking eat women, children, grandmas, grandpas, babies. ALL unprovoked. To think that these subhumans and even verhoeven himself tries to justify all this by saying humanity is still the le evil one for DEFENDING their civilians from BEING RIPPED APART AND FRICKING EATEN. Sick world, Now I can see why God flooded this shithole before seeing how sick humanity is now I can't even imagine how bad it was before requiring divine intervention.
He's pretty justified. Humanity opened up with massive-scale purges and pogroms of machinekind in the Second Renaissance, and when they fricked off and made a city in a desert in Africa and offered nothing more than a peace treaty, the various forces of earth murdered the diplomats and then tried to nuke their one city out of existence. Then humanity lost the war, and we can only assume he was there to sign the peace offering, but at this point I really don't think there's any trusting the various countries in charge during the film, so obliterating them all at once is probably just the smartest move.
Ok but humanity isn't evil for stopping literal monsters from killing their entire families the same way Robocop isn't evil for capping Black folk and corrupt as shit cops and corpo executive dickheads that build murdermachines.
It's also toothless. >uh police good but ineffective because of THE MAN, the poor little cops need all the help they can get
There's a reason there's not many leftists making big "uh the secret meaning of robocop" posts. It's still pro-cop.
If somebody makes a satire about the holocaust.
Does that make the holocaust not a concern?
Robocop satirizes a real thing in the real world, thats a real problem.
>man makes good satire once >this means he makes good satire forever
The fact is that Starship Troopers fails as satire because it doesn't establish anything that implicates Humans are the bad guys other than being bad at war (incompetence, not malice) and having lots of propaganda (all of the propaganda they make is endearing and quoted to this day unironically). It's failed satire. The Bugs are objectively evil.
As someone who never played the 1st one, would you say the 2nd is an improvement overall? I think the consensus is that the shift to 3d and graphics are way better but some of the weapon balance/variety is lacking
i'd say the immersion definitely helps. you've gone from a top-down shooter to a 3rd person where everything is to scale. that feeling of being overwhelmed and overcoming the odds really hits along with calling in danger-close firesupport.
the lack of variety in the weapons is a downer, like no tanks or mechs you can get in, plus they cut a faction as well.
hopefully they will all be introduced in the coming future content.
Automatons are clearly Cyborgs to the point they have the same units. Bugs are still bugs, even if a bit different. Science thot says something about it actually, paraphrased but basically "technically they're not the same bugs as the last war due to 100 years of accelerated evolution and other shit"
It remains to be seen if Illuminate will get a "2.0" rework or be the same classic Illuminate, as they're one of those space-ancient species and a hundred years is a blink of an eye they could be Helldivers 1 Illuminate but in a new game. I look forward to shitter tears when they meet an Illusionist if so.
This is the only game I've bought in 5 years. And paid full price for it, no less. I guess vidya really still can be fun. troony devs on suicide watch.
Seriously how the frick do you apply changes in your settings? My game is cropped after forcing itself in window mode and nothing on the keyboard or screen seems to allow me to save changes.
They didn't fix shit, people are able to login now because the latest patch introduced like 3 new perpetual loading screens for some people, the forums are full of people complaining >release new patch >40k people cant login >other people can login
Most girls play in friend groups so you will likely never meet them, that and at most you'll see players with randomized voices which includes the girls.
I FRICKING HATE LOW LEVEL Black folk JOINING THE GAME ON 5+ DIFF JUST TO WASTE MY REINFORCEMENT BUDGET. GOD WHAT THE FRICK WERE YOU THINKING JOINING WITH ONLY A GOD DAMN ASS-AULT RIFLE AND A COUPLE ORBITAL STRIKES TO YOUR NAME AND DIED 5 FRICKING TIMES TO THE SAME FRICKING BOT HEAVY. FRICK OFF AND PLAY ON EASIER DIFF FOR FRICKS SAKE
>Been trying the arc thrower against bots since it's really good vs bugs >Feels like I'm doing jack shit >End game stats keep saying I'm raking in the kills
Okay I guess.
Did they stealth nerf the railgun?
I've plugged 10 shots into a bile titan's mouth and it's still alive.
3 player lobby if the math has been done on how much that effects the shot count.
>Unsafe
Safe
one of my friends who swears it's the best weapon out there is too much of a coward to turn it to unsafe. This homosexual also would not shut up about the Acannon either.
>3 player lobby if the math has been done on how much that effects the shot count.
This is an Arrowhead game. Diff 9 is Diff 9. The only difference is that if you attempt to solo a 9 you'll be the only one who you can blame for being spotted by a patrol.
It's not satire though.
Okay, let me give you an example.
The Federation is established as a near utopian society where the only caveat is you need to join the military to vote. Don't want to join the military? That's okay! You can just be an NPC that works any civilian job. There's no downside to this.
Okay, let's look at the bugs now. Colonists intruded on their territory, which the Federation itself did not want ("Arachnid Quarantine Zone'), and the Bugs responded not only by killing the colonists but also launching an asteroid at Earth which was so obviously not launched by the Federation (despite what some claim) that it almost impacts a Federation ship. The war is thus one of Earth legitimately defending itself from overaggressive wienerroaches that eat brains.
How do we fix this and make it satire? Okay, let's say in the opening scenes at the school we have a homeless guy looting through a trash can. The students comment on this quite negatively, except for one student who stands up for the homeless man. The teacher quietly writes his name down.
Then midway through the film there is a propaganda commercial talking about 'Remedial Corps' or 'Penal Corps'. They are shown picking up trash, ostensibly working jobs while "our boys" fight the Bugs. The homeless guy is shown, with a forced smile.
Later, at the end of the movie, we see the Penal Corps in action. They are partially lobotomized soldiers controlled by the Psychic dude. The homeless guy is one, as is the student who stood up for him.
Now it becomes clear. The Bugs suck out brains, the Federation suck out brains. THIS is satire.
Even without this route, everyone who isn't a citizen is clearly okay with doing so. They just don't think about politics at all, which is the most normalgay thing in the world.
>Why are there not homeless crackheads in my satircal, utopian authoritarian facist society
God you are a moron. Those people are not shown because they get fricking executed. Just like that 1 guy in the movie who gets a trailer, sentenced and executed in the same day
>we never find out about the crime, so he could have been a murderer or he could have been a shoplifter
Really that scene only establishes the Justice system as perverse entertainment, which is happening in reality with the OJ trial and similar. Try again.

You have a right to a speedy trial, not a lengthy one.
>The Federation sucks out brains, the Bugs suck out brains
comparing and contrasting the way the society is made to turn you into a jarhead vs the hivemind of the bugs is the most basic reading to make, they even envy the complete cohesion at some points
Most likely answer is its exactly like the Starfield terrormorphs. They start out small, hitch rides on spacecraft as just nuisance bugs, then get real real big later
Which difficulty is the most fun in your opinion? I just unlocked 7 and I'm not having a good time although I hear that's because Automatons are overtuned. For context, I've played 2 bug missions ever, I think it's the fact that quickplay always puts me in Automaton missions, probably people trying to complete the weekly objective.
>t. lorelet
Its a MANAGED Democracy.
You fill out a series of questions and your vote is cast "based" on your answers, to avoid unnecessary confusion in the voting process.
I know this is seen as a bad thing, but honestly actual democracy could use a way of filtering who can and cannot vote, not to the extent of helldivers but, morons really shouldn't have the right to vote.
>Put in code for strategem >click ONCE to get back control of my mouse >fricking headshot teammate

You know in a proper Democracy "The President" wouldn't be the most important politician/celebrity in the state. The increasing levels of autocracy/celebrity clout given to US presidents is, in fact, not a good thing.
>diligence counter-sniper >wow a primary sniper with a little more damage and a nicer scope but a smaller mag >what a nice trade-off let's get it >less magazine capacity and handles like a fricking heavy support weapon except it's a primary weapon with 10 times less of a damage output
Weapon balance is all over the fricking place in this game.
yeah, the Breaker > everything is kinda lame. I wanna use other shit... Also is the Slugger really just a shitter Punisher? why wouldn't a Slug at least have Moderate Armor Pen.?
It does have med armor pen. It seems like there is something wrong with the listed store stats. The slugger is pretty much a sidegrade compared to the breaker. Better at single large targets, a lot worse at clearing chaff.
slugger stats are wrong it has medium pen
it's quite good honestly, I think people aren't aware yet because it's pretty far down the BP compared to the breaker
I'm kind of warming up to the regular diligence for bots, feel like it's better for hitting weak spots and when the chainsaw frickers arrive I just shoot their torsos.
Really I've kind of learnt to shoot bots in a less braindead way, it REALLY took me this long to figure out that the bulky bots just shoot with one arm and if you shoot that arm off they literally can't do anything other than attempt to slowly get closer to you so they can punch you.
The chainsaw frickers are weaker in the torso because it's thin and overheated so you literally rip them in half with your bullets.
The DMR should have the damage/penetration profile of the AMR, and the AMR should have the damage/penetration profile of the Autocannon (but no AoE and a bigger weak point multiplier).
less maximum mags, on top of the already reduced magazine capacity*
The weapon is useless.
The zoom is so little too that you could just "snipe" with better shit like the liberator penetrator or even the mother fricking got danged diddly fricking Breaker, literally use any other weapon FRICK.

Some people get overly caught up in the "epic last stand" mentality and get swarmed to death
this is me but only when my friends talk me into playing a game I've never played before and they INSIST on max difficulty settings
The game is only worth playing on the harder settings, I genuinely don't see what's fun spending 40 mins running around and never encountering anything remotely like a challenge
>Some people get overly caught up in the "epic last stand" mentality and get swarmed to death
Been soloing bugs and bots for a while to the point where I can comfortably solo diff 7 missions and I literally can't fathom how people could suck so bad.
Soloing literally teaches you all you need to do in order not to get killed and what kind of options you can exploit in a team (since you absolutely feel the lack of players when you're solo) and in the worst case scenario you become bug bait so your teammates can shoot them while you aggro them effectively.
The players you mention must have a main character syndrome but exclusively play on multiplayer like pansies.
most players don't play solo lobbies
most players don't realize rushing the main objectives is pointless
most players don't realize there is no reward for killing enemies beyond being able to more safely interact with the loot or objective in a given area
AND MOST ESPECIALLY
most players don't realize that if they've stripped an area clean, they should just fricking leave and move on to their next objective
>most players don't realize that if they've stripped an area clean, they should just fricking leave and move on to their next objective
I fricking hate when in a whole ass team, the other 3 morons who also somehow got far enough into the progression to unlock the energy shield backpack don't realize that they don't have to fricking fight the bots on an ebin standoff while we're on the last 10 minutes of the mission and we still have another objective on the other side of the map.
You have a fricking BACKPACK that shields you from BULLETS.
Just RUN, ZIGZAG IF YOU MUST BUT FRICKING MOVEGOD FRICKING DAMN IT.
This is the worst. I got my friends into this game and I just let them host and brought in whatever gear they had access to and let them learn the game. It's so much more fun just being along for the ride as they figure the game out. Even just doing things like telling them weakspots or how to kill chargers honestly hurts the new player experience dramatically.

Made for a controller :/
You can make it more bearable by disabling mouse smoothing in the settings, but that little circle telling you what you're gonna hit independently of your crosshair ain't going away.
Just wait until the honey moon period wears off. Progression is kind of fricked to be honest. The game doesn't have staying power when you're just endlessly grinding for a shitty battle pass after. Boggles my mind L4D2 is still the gold standard for a co op horde shooter. Barely has any progression like unlocks yet its still more fun to play

Glad I got like 70 hours in before the game really really blew up. All the zoomers who bought it after asmongold played it. No way I am playing with randoms again until these "people" get bored and move on to the next palworld
How does the % and defend actually work? I was doing some defense missions yesterday and the planet had a small blue bar and a long red bar. With every completion though it said squad contribution 1 or 2 and that brought completion from 99.9999% to 100%
I think they need to add harder difficulties or modifiers that a little more fun. 100% call in time is fricking awful.
Unironically add shitty Diablo modifiers like flaming, teleporting, or tesla coil enemies.
>figure I'll test this new afk kick feature by seeing if I can log in at 8pm >I can >have some fun and finally complete a whole rank 6 mission, now I can do suicide.
woo. this latest patch seems to have actually done something.
I've been logging in with no issue at 7am, 11 am, 1 pm, and 8 pm.
I thought they just fixed the servers, not even with the afk kick patch because yesterday and the day before I could too.
Good on you if you can somehow finish an extraction mission.
Lord knows I can't even do it with a full team.
Farthest I got with randos was 45 evacuations on suicide and we went in with like 50 sentries.
I could solo on medium but it would mean I'd have to slog through the other two missions on baby difficulty and that's just not fun tbh.
Good new everyone!
The Swedes managed to make a number go higher.
For some reason they decided to not make the number go higher than what it needs to be, and set it to something they expect to cap out at anyway.
Remember: the Swedes deserve every grenade attack they get.
They will get a significant amount more than 500k for sure. They won't get 1 million though, which would have been in the cards if the server issues never happened.
Are we still arguing about who the bad guys are?
The bots are literal robot freak commies and the bugs are brainless bugs. Super Earth is in the right. Just look at what happened to Draupnir.
>Game was starting to get annoying as frick past difficulty 5 >Unlock recoilless rifle >Game is more bareable now
Seriously all those times to wasting all my ammo to drop one charger and the game spawns fricking 4 at once, how else were people dealing?
this is why i say difficulties should've been tied to levels.
you just do not get the gamesense nor toolkit to manage heavies in a swarm until you're past level 10 at the LEAST
Once you unlock the railgun you won't even have to waste the backpack slot with the autocanon's ammo.
2 shots in the front leg and like 4 shots from the breaker in that leg and they're done, like 5 to 8 seconds per charger tops.
The expendable AT works great for killing chargers. If you don't miss, you can kill 2 by destroying the leg armor then killing them with your primary. If you do miss, you get another set in 60 seconds.
>0 queues all day >can find games within 30s >but no one can join if I host
other than 3 times I was stuck on infinite loading screen, game is almost fixed (playability wise)
So I just unlocked the Spear, went into a mission against Automatons to test it out, and it seems incredibly inconsistent with its Lock-on, sometimes it locks on fine, other times it just keeps going back and forth between locking on and losing target, with both me and the target sitting still. Im unsure if im doing anything wrong, or if the thing is just really buggy. Its damage also seems to vary greatly, one tank took 3 shots, another took 1, all hits on the top of the turret. Could be bad hits, could be something else.
>thinking your autistic grinding matters in the long run
Shit is calculated based on the number of active players like in helldivers 1, so the only thing that matters the most is what percentage of players are contributing.
Unironically it's like voting, leave your grain of salt, sand, or your two cents and move on.
Not worth it stressing out over it like a moron sperg since you're literally not going to win the war on your own, no matter how many times you spam the same missions.
Why are people losing their shit over the bots winning some planets? Do people expect that we will win 100% of the battles? That won't be fun, because the inner planets will never come under threat and be playable then.
Oh man the winning uniforms are going to be amazing in HD.
Think they'll give something extra to the players (us) who were in the first run from the beginning?
If it's like the first game then the government does something libtarded like giving robots voting rights or restoring the Terminid ecosystem, thus causing the wars to begin again in 5 in-universe years.
People doing the defense mission farming are literally losing the war for us.
Good. Super Earth deserves to lose.
Commie
THOUGHT crime DETECTED
Unironically this
>Noooo you have to complete 3+ missions or super earth loses soldier.
Frick off. Each mission should be independent. Make the impact less or something if you don't opt for the whole theatre.
They should simply make it like it was in helldivers 1: You only fail the op if you abandon it, and if you fail the mission you can attempt it again.
They really had some good ideas like allowing you to win even if you don't extract and you finish all the objectives (because it simply makes sense), but the operation structure together with it not contributing to the war if you don't complete every mission is just not fun tbh.
Farming what? The defend but not extract mission?
>Planet at 88% one day
>back at 20% the next day
I mean, if the 'game master' they have running this shit just arbitrarily does what ever the frick he wants regardless of the actual percentage bars, why would anyone give a shit?
This so much. Who gives a fricking shit? Galactic war is one big Tantrum from the devs arbitrarily resetting progress. They precisely plan when you are allowed to acess new content and what planets are won or lost. Might as well just sit back and do whatever the frick you want - since you can't actually win against these homosexuals and their railroad.
If you lose one of the tree missions, it counts as a loss to the war front. People spamming those defense missions but abandoning the rescue one is warping the entire thing as registered losses.
Farming? Is there some new XP meta I don't know about or what is it?
Its not new, defense missions take like 4 minutes and give almost as much exp/money as a normal 30 minute mission
>War goes terribly
>Battle lines progress all the way to the Sol system
>Get to fight in secret bombed out urban maps on Earth the devs never expected us to actually see.

I can dream.
>morons waste all the reinforcements
>use reinforcement right after the cooldown wore off as we were rushing to extraction point
>moron intentionally lands at me
frick this piece of shit of a game
don't care, shooting bugs
Two impact grenades anywhere on the tank turrets destroys them, sometimes takes three with the big cannon variant but it's consistent with the machine turret one. This is probably a unintended feature so abuse it as much as you can now.
Nah. Glowing vents on bots are weak to explosives, only take 10% damage from normal attacks. Same with bug sacks, like on chargers and titans.
It doesn't need to be against the vents though, just throw it against anywhere on the top or sides of the turret
Oh, nice. Breaker armor is my new best friend, friendship with medic armor is canceled
they nerfed the frick outta those missions. easy as hell now
They didn't nerf shit I'm still neck deep in hulks
Are (You) gonna let 'em get away with it?!
WE WILL NOT LOSE MANTES
FRICK CLANKERS
I LOVE DEMOCRACY
>democracy
But it's not democracy, it's fascism. The war with the Automatons could end tomorrow if Super Earth wanted it, but instead they chose to send millions of people to their deaths to preserve their consumptionist economy.
>t.
Shut the frick you moronic commie homosexual. This thread's for humans, your kind isn't welcome.
>((This post contains Undemocratic Thoughts and should be ignored and ridiculed. Love live Super Earth, death to the enemies of liberty.))
Communist homosexual. Please get sent to a camp.
You people are insufferable
Imagine saying this and then making the biggest failure of satire of all time. There is not a single good satire of fascism because liberals don't know what fascism is. It's impossible satirize what you don't understand. Every attempt to satirize fascism has wound up having the opposite effect, this game included. People see these satires of fascism and realize the worlds depicted in them are far superior to the rapidly degenerating liberal worlds we live in now.
>the war where 500000000000000 people die for nothing is good because.......le blind patriotism
Have you heard about Ukraine?
i thought ukrainians were the fascists though?
>See liberal in post
Get new material. This shit is stale. Also no one asked
You just don't get it.
Ironic because liberals truly do not get it. They don't understand how the film portrays the "fascist" society as literally perfect in every way.
This a bot? This exact post was made on Ganker yesterday
Post proof. You can't because this didn't happen.
turns out it was just very similar arguments, but put to words better than just piping about liberals
Who wouldn't criticize liberals in 2024 during the late stage liberalism collapse? No one likes liberals.
Kinda funny coming from a guy so illiterate and media illiterate he had no fricking clue what the starship troopers book was about
The fact he didn't finish it was even better. The movie is just a Ganker blind shitpost honestly
in the book Diz is a guy and he dies in the prologue lol
also johnny is a mexican named juan and his dad joins the mobile infantry with him half way through
I find the author of starship troopers very interesting cause he's basically a super liberal free love type hippy that also lived a majority of his life in the military and working civil service jobs and really loving his time in those things and it gives all his works a really weird a hyper specific kinda lense
The hilarious thing is that while Verhoeven's ironic cynical disdain for Heinlein's ideals is clear, he actually performs one major directorial/writing failure which transforms his satire into anti-satire. He never once actually breaks the narrative of the humans being the good guys.
The narrative he actually puts up on screen is in fact, even more utopian, more one-sided, and more idealized than Heinlein's own description of his fictional society, which clearly still takes part in politically aggressive interventionist wars ala the US, suffers from an excessive burden of people vying for citizenship and not enough civil service for all of them requiring the manufacturing of an excessive bureaucracy just to send people off to shit jobs to earn their votes.
It doesn't matter that he swears up and down that it's satire, the practical product of his efforts doesn't make that impact on the majority of the audience who watches his movie, meaning that he's failed his primary goal as an artist, which is to put the audience into his frame of mind and make them experience what he wants.
In fact, the majority of people who watch Starship Troopers probably end up experiencing nearly the opposite of what Verhoeven intended them to.
Also, the obvious,
>Outspoken lefty Hollywood director thinks that a Constitutionally Representative Republic with democratically elected leaders, universal healthcare and welfare, a liberal, low regulation economy, 100% volunteer army and navy, no evident censorship of any kind, is fascist, and portrays his feelings by dressing some of the characters in almost cartoonishly obvious SS uniforms.
I'm from Super Earth, and I say kill 'em all!
Super Earth and the Federation of Starship Troopers are such perfect societies. Way better than than the society we live in. Our civilization was destroyed by liberalism and antifascists.
The 'problem' with Starship troopers is they never show the bugs as anything but unsympathetic, so something as silly as black uniforms and televised corporal/capital punishment seems rather minor at that point. It's rather hard to feel empathy towards something that eats human brains as a form of interrogation
>show humans torturing bugs
>show bugs torturing humans
>omg I cant believe bugs would do this to the innocent wittle humans
how do you morons get filtered by 6/10 media so hard
Humans don't torture any bugs. Bugs don't even have brains, they're like liberals, just brainless NPC drones. Humans do science to learn how to deal with the evil menace. Bugs actually do torture and enslave. Bugs are evil and brainless which is why liberal identify with them.
there's a literal brain bug
"it's afraid"
the Crossfire segment where lady is arguing that the bugs are sentient and then guy just starts screeching about how you just got to kill the bugs
the propaganda reel showing kids curbstomp regular Earth bugs.
You people are truly moronic.
It should be afraid. It's an evil being who enslaved hundreds of species and waged a galaxy wide unprovoked war against everyone. The brain bug is the embodiment of pure evil and if you sympathize with it you're evil too.
We literally see the brainbug stab someone in the forehead and suck out his brain while he's still conscious. I'm not taking its side.
why do you even think you HAVE to be on the bugs side because just you don't agree with the humans going to war you only two sides thinking american fricking moron?
>some guys go to a planet and setup camp
>bugs just fricking kill them (DUH THATS MY PLANET)
Yeah frick the bugs man. The moron argument completely falls apart here because the bugs didn't even try peace they went full moron.
heres the trick
if the colonists were israelites then the bugs are bad
but if the colonists were white then the bugs are good
so who was israelite?
Next they'll tell me that Buenos Aires was just a misunderstanding.
the bugs didn't launch a fricking meteor across the universe to hit earth with perfect precision. you fell for an inside job. how fricking ironic
This ze boogs did nothing wrong.
I can see why you braindead morons post politics, movie discussion, food threads, and everything else solely on Ganker. you people cannot comprehend anything unless it is directly told to you, and then you just take it at face value without question. you would be ridiculed anywhere else where you couldn't circlejerk with other 85 iq manchildren.
K bug simp. Go outside and play with ants they're much more hiveminded like you.
lol verheoven confirmed it was real in the commentary. He also confirmed the bugs killed the mormons just for being there, no secret plots. There was no false flag. He really did just think nazi uniform = unjustified no matter what.
>save the human species
>wear le evil trenchoat
>bad guy
It's amazing that liberals actually think like this.
Maybe if the nazis wore those little propeller hats nobody would see them as evil.
>war makes fascists of us all
so fascism literally just has no meaning lol
lmao even
Not American, I'm on humanities side. Not ze boogs.
I SEE YOU CHITIBlack person
GLASS ALL BUG PLANETS NOW, NOW
NOOOOOOW!
What were they supposed to do? The bugs are expansionists and are growing in numbers while actively attacking anything they can reach. It's war now or war later, and war later has more bugs.
This entire theory was just "uh the soldiers at the end look a little young", and they look like regular age soldiers instead of the near-30 hollywood actors they cast. 18 year olds look young.
ya dude cause humans are so much better. We do the same shit, moron. It's not about siding with the bugs or thinking they're better or worse than humans, it's about understanding and trying to coexist instead of committing xenocide when confronted with a hive mind species.
Your misanthropic self hate is vomit inducing.
The Dark Forest theory dictates that anything we come into contact with that isn't us should be killed as fast as possible with extreme prejudice
>The Dark Forest theory
Explain pls
The universe is a dark forest and you are hunting in it, you see something in the dark, do you stop and risk saying hi or do you take a shot in the dark cause it might be dangerous?
The theory says alien races would default to killing eachother, cause communication is hard and with how fast tech can develop in a unverse timeframe, everybody is a potential threat, cause pulling the trigger is just so much safer in the end. "Three Body Problem" is the book series if you are interested, aliens hiding cause some higher tech species would eradicate them also servers as a solution for the Fermi Paradox..
it's too bad that leftist morons commenced SETI before I was even born. We have already idiotically shouted out into the dark forest and the sound will keep traveling further out for millenia to come. Not only that, but they are currently developing ways to signal even louder without ANY hesitation or consideration at all.
We can only hope that the signal becomes too distorted to be read, or that by the time we're noticed humanity becomes a multistellar civ.
I hope my descendants are looking forward to the concurrently timed gamma ray burst and plutonium/polonium-seeded ~0.9c kinetic bombardment by 10km diameter multi-spectral camouflaged asteroids
Why do you care gay, you'll be long gone by then
Black person it will literally be a thousand years before the signals from SETI touch a single percent of our galaxy. The time scales at which information travels through space are so long that this theory proves moronic, because any signals from the "dark forest" are at least thousands of years old. You can't "strike first" unless you're certain that the point of origin you're viewing from eons ago is actually where they'll be when your attack reaches them (which will be at least the same length of time that information took to reach you assuming your weaponry can reach near lightspeed and you attack as soon as you receive this evidence of another civilization).
So not only are these signals you're oh so afraid of from thousands of years ago, but any attack you would make would have thousands of years to be made irrelevant, because space is just that fricking big.
Due to the size of the universe existence of a multitude of alien civilizations is a nigh certainty.
Now lets presume two civillizations exist in a relatively short distance of one another. 5 Light years as a benchmark.
Assuming civ A meets civ B, what are their options?
>Communicate
>Attack
Communication instantly makes the location of your planet known to the civ B.
If the tech level of civ B is much lower than yours, it may very well change by the time you arrive. Travelling at 10% the speed of light would mean it'll take you 500 years to reach the enemy. During that time your enemy is bound to make leaps in technology.
Think of the science from 500 years ago vs now.
This is called a scientific boom. It can occur at any time during a civ life cycle and it effectively makes all attempts at diplomacy null.
Even if you're the bigger civ at the moment and reach out to a smaller one, they might turn the tables on you by the time your fleet is a quarter of the way to them.
The only reasonable option is to eradicate the other civ as fast as possible while hiding away your own presence and location.
If there are many civs in the vast cosmos, and someone knows where yours is located then they might relay that knowledge to the rest of the universe.
As we've already established, no other option than eradication is reasonable, so any civ that learns of your existence will be forced to eradicate you as soon as they find out that you exist.
The Dark forest means that there's an astounding amount of life in cosmos but you may never see or show it.
Additionally, its very likely that you are not the most tech advanced civ out there, taking the age of the universe into account.
A hypothetical civ with unfathomable tech could very well have the capability to easily destroy all known civs at a low cost(Relativistic projectiles)
Essentially
>Civ A finds out about Civ B
>Civ A relays location of Civ B to universe
>Civ B gets snuffed out instantly by Civ C
>and Humanity has been shitting out Radio-signals into the void for decades....
Guys, we might be extinct and not know it yet.
Interstellar travel is impossible and life that is also intelligent is most likely stupidly fricking rare and it may not happen for at least a billion years if ever in the closest habitable planets (if any), really don't be alarmed Earth is all we need only morons wanna go to space where everything is barren.
t. played enough space sims.
Rare Abiogenesis and the Great Filter are a lot less fun than Aliens blasting eachother into the second dimension.
>Interstellar travel is impossible
It is, it'd be stupidly impractical
We currently have theoretically feasible ways of accelerating a spacecraft to nearly the speed of light.
The nuclear spacecraft theory was created by a former nazi rocket scientist post ww2 and basically stated that a series of controlled nuclear explosions could propell a spacecraft to nearly the speed of light.
Ths math checks out but its moronicly impractical.
Also space dilation is a thing so yoy don't even need colony ships for faraway travel.
Anything that gets close to the speed of light will perceive its own time mich slower than that of the outside.
You could very well make it fairly far even within a single generation.
>life that is also intelligent is most likely stupidly fricking rare
Nothing happens innthe universe just once. Also its pretty fricking big.
Even if only 0.001% of all stars have intelligent life. That's still a TON of civs
Probably missing a couple hundred zeros there bud.
Most likely, but still.
Even in cosmos natural resources are finite and their consumption would necessitate expansion.
If there's two thriving civs total then itd just a matter of time until they've spread far and wide
>There is no need to struggle to suppress the elements of the Drake equation in order to explain the Great Silence, nor need we suggest that no [intelligent aliens] anywhere would bear the cost of interstellar travel. It need only happen once for the results of this scenario to become the equilibrium conditions in the Galaxy. We would not have detected extra-terrestrial radio traffic – nor would any [intelligent aliens] have ever settled on Earth – because all were killed shortly after discovering radio.
Stop identifying with grubs with blades for tongues.
>ya dude cause humans are so much better
Stopped reading there, Was the perfect sentence and saw no need to read further.
>let's coexist with animals who want us dead
This is everything wrong with liberalism and why everyone hates them now.
Humans did try to coexist. THE FRICKING BUGS ATE THEM, YOU moron.
Humans are better than a hive mind of bugs, yes. It doesn't matter how advanced they are either.
A film is a visual medium bruh, you can't just say 'oh it's offscreen subtext trust me' else you just sound disingenuous
but it was on screen. what youtuber are you absorbing your opinions from?
I was meaning there was absolutely nothing in the film that made you want to feel sympathetic towards the bugs. Even in the book they were somewhat anthromorphic and had some sort of industrial society. In the film they're basically just animals.
verhoven in the commentary justfied this by saying the bugs are actually good because the mormons started the war . im not sure whos more of a hack, verhoven or Uwe Boll. germans are fricking moronic at art and comedy
Tokyo gore police is so fricking good.
>show humans torturing bugs
>show bugs torturing humans
>I can't believe the humans are the bad guys
the humans are the bad guys because they're needlessly throwing away the lives of other humans for a bullshit war. we don't see the entire bug side of the story because we aren't bugs so it wouldn't be as innately interesting as the human side is in comparison. again, filtered by 6/10 media. just stay on Ganker you fricking moron, please don't ever expose your moronation to any other board.
>bullshit war
>attacked without provocation by an evil race of slavers
This is who liberals side with against their own people. Never forget.
>we don't see the entire bug side of the story
Yeah I'm sure the little bug babies in the bug hospitals were crying their little bug tears. I'm sure they held bug press conferences where their bug politicians announced they sadly just really had to eat all the humans, because some reasons. I bet they felt real bad about it.
i wish the tokyo gore police were real
Anyone who watches the movie and identifies with the bugs that have blades for a face, arms and legs are not people, they're bugs wearing human faces.
How can anyone actually be sympathetic to bugs though
Hilariously, so was theirs, just many decades ago. 100% serious when I say the Federation was formed when a bunch of military vets came home to a desyroyed country overrun with crime and degenerates because the intellectual ruling class completely botched everything up, and the vets couldn't get compensated for their work due to there being no money to offer.
TL;DR the vets took matters in their own hands and publicly executed a few people responsible for the whole of society falling apart to send a message. Once law and order was established, the Federation was eventually born as more people chose to follow suit.
The Civilian/Citizen situation exists solely because the people who formed the Federation knew that some people are not willing to do what's morally right for the better of society, so those people are granted as much freedoms as virtually possible OTHER than the freedom to vote or hold political office, because you must prove you are willing to selflessly serve in the name of your peers and to uphold the body politics to defend your peers rights over personal gain.
Military conscription is gruelingly hard, quitting is always 100% free (with the only two exceptions being in active live combat, and serving punishment for your frick ups), and quiting holds absolutely ZERO punishments other than barring you from ever being able to enlist again.
And somehow we're expected to believe this is bad. Liberals have no argument.
Unless you serve in the merchant marines, in which case you can go frick yourself and don't get citizenship at all.
the commentary for that scene by him his hilarous
he literally says
>uh-oh here come the guys in black uniforms. thats how you know this isn't good and that they are bad
>He never once actually breaks the narrative of the humans being the good guys.
Except for the fact that Buenos Aires was an inside job.
Made up
Yes, it was all made up in order to justify an unjustifiable war.
Bug farts cannot push asteroids FTL
There is literally a fricking director commentary saying the bugs hit buenos aires. Shut the frick up, moron.
The same director that said fascism is bad, hmm?
Checkmate, Atheists!
its supposed to be in-universe propaganda
The in-universe propaganda would obviously be the propaganda film you see them play, moron. Not the events of the movie itself.
The thing is that every single movie he makes, he states that it's meant to be satire, and how much he hates the heroic portrayal of its subject matter in media. He said he dislikes gore and violence.
And he made Robocop. The violence was supposedly meant to be subversive.
Then he made Total Recall.
Paul Verhoeven is the best worst film director of all time. He's incompetent in all the best ways and all his mistakes and strange ideas of storytelling just made him push out some of the greatest feats of action cinema ever.
And don't forget his incomplete grasp of the English language which has undoubtedly contributed to some of the best and funniest lines in movie history.
Don't you have a breadline to go stand in?
media illiterate moron
Look at all the seething chuds you baited. Bravo comrade.
>xe still says chud
umm sweety...chud is antisemetic now because israelites were caught crawling out of sewer grates underneath New York City. So everytime you say chud you now associate israeli people as chuds that crawl out of the sewers to rape and eat kids.
>But it's not democracy, it's fascism.
>preserve their consumptionist economy
Fascists belive in the shrinking market theory. They don't want consumption, they want production.
You're a gay
you're right, of course
but Ganker users are so dimwitted they don't know that managed democracy is, in fact, not democracy at all.
Sounds like a pretty un-democratic opinion there Anon. Helldiver squad en-route to shut down your illicit broadcast.

What the FRICK happened to Malevelon? We almost had it liberated and then our shit went back to zero?
what's your favorite primary weapon?
Defender seems to be a side grade liberator, but the lower recoil and better handling make it win out, but the liberator scope is also nice depending on what you're doing.

Imagine being such a fricking miserable insufferable person, with nothing going on in their life, that the only thing that gives them purpose i a fricking political affiliation and party.
Worse yet, is fiding the need to inject, and look for anything politically related in every single piece of media and entertainment to the point of they jsut start making shit up.
Imagine not being able to just enjoy a silly rediculous bug/bot shooter because you have to grand stand for a political party that does not give a shit about you.
Imagine not being able to enjoy yourself with out thinking and talking about politics.
Fricking sad.

Starship troopers is so fricking moronic and gay SHUT THE HELL UP
Game isn't fun anymore. I can't make decent progress between the game being unstable and other players just being moronic b***hes and ragequiting at the slightest inconvenience. I've been trying to unlock the fricking rover for the last 2 hours I'm only short of ~100 point but I cannot get a game from start to finish and it's making me pull my hair out.
Play on harder difficulties. 6 difficulty and above filters the morons.
ok, so why haven't you enlisted?

DIFFICUTLY 7 HAS BEEN INFILTRATED BY SHITTERS AND SUB-20S
I REPEAT ALL GOOD PLAYERS MOVE TO DIFFICULTY 8 IMMEDIATELY
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
one of the best groups ive had was sub 20's in suicide last night but this evening has been kinda cancer
>ALL GOOD PLAYERS MOVE TO DIFFICULTY 8
HELLDIVE OR BUST UNTIL INNER CIRCLE OF HELL GETS ADDED
if you consider yourself a good player but hovering at difficulty 7 youre sorely delusional
There barely seems to be any difference between 6,7,8 difficulty (for bots). What actually changes? Health or just enemy quality?
Health doesn't change with difficulty.
Quantity, health and damage is the same on every difficulty.
Also remember, the longer the mission goes on, the more they spawn.
I wish I could kill every homosexual who thinks they are intelligent about Starship Troopers
You're all a bunch of FREEDOM HATING COMMIES to me. You put Democracy to shame you plebs. The game is fun so far, it feels like it has a shelf-life of three months or less... but it's a fun FOTM game.

Maybe if WE COULD PLAY THE FRICKING GAME! Things would be going better.
I love how the Starship Troopers discussion has revealed that liberals see themselves in mindless swarms of inhuman evil monsters.
>being capable of empathy and understanding the other side means you're secretly a inhuman evil monster
yeah and i bet you think people who are scared of spiders secretly want to frick them
>I have empathy for the things that want to kill me --ACK!
Were the bugs capable of empathy and understanding the other side?
Once they ate their brains maybe.
The liberals don't care if the "bugs" feel empathy. Liberals simply hate their own kind and want to see them dead.
doesn't matter. you dont need to hit yourself in the head with a hammer to be able to understand someone with down syndrome
if understanding the other side wasnt important then why would earth use the psycorps in the first place against the bugs
>doesn't matter
Oh, so we can just kill them all. Great!
you literally think like a bug
Bugs don't have minds and don't think, just like liberals.
you don't think either since you can only read 2 words before your brain shuts down
yeah and that goes so fricking well for the human soldiers right?
I'm sure it would've gone fine if they just stayed at home and waited while the bugs colonized more and expanded the quarantine zone. People die in war so you can just say no to war and then no one dies.
Humans got a brain bug, which is a massive upside for them. They are a literal hive mind, and have acquired the mind. It's not going good for the bugs.
>Expansionist alien species competing for the same resources as humans
>Kill any humans they see
>Vast majority of the species are mindless animals
>We should feel empathy for these creatures and treat them with the same ethics as humans.
>Humans are actually the baddies!
If you think about it, this sort of lefty thinking is the root of so many political issues right now, especially in Europe.
Found the nazi
Lefties self reported on this one. Revealed themselves.
Consider the bugs from Ender's Game compared to Starship Troopers if you really want to try to empathize with bugs.
>Bugs in Starship Troopers realize other species aren't hive minds like them, each individual meatbag is an entire hive unto itself holy shit
>Immediately use this to enslave individuals and subvert their multi-mind governments
>Bugs in Ender's Game realize Humans are not a hive mind, (in fact need to comprehend the idea that an advanced society could develop that ISNT a hive mind, to them killing a few thousand Humans was the equivalent to a non-lethal punch in the nose because that's how losing non-queens is for them)
>Holy shit wait that means every Human we killed is the equivalent of murdering an entire hive
>guilt trip their entire species to near-extinction
in Starship Troopers the film, the brain bugs were capable of feeling fear and of literally drinking human minds to steal their memories
in Starship Troopers 2, a bad Aliens riff, they were capable of eating human beings from the inside out and mimicking them as infiltrator reverse vore rape pod people for the purpose of destroying the entire Federation from the inside out
in Starship Troopers 3, a bad late '00s anti-religion/Bush riff, a reasonably planetoid-fractional sized God Bug is capable of using the captured Brain Bug from the first film to mind control a Sky Marshall into believing that it's capital g God and that bugs & humans can coexist; he is shocked when the God Bug reveals (through corpse sockpuppets) that peace comes through all humans being violently subsumed into the hive mind and 'pacified' (eaten/puppeted/brain drained) https://youtu.be/1SX2qs8-eNk?t=229
in Roughneck Chronicles, the Brain Bugs again reveal through Carl Jenkins that the bugs are going to kill all humans as a matter of course and that there can be no coexistence except through extermination and assimilation
even in the original novel, the bugs are shitheel standins for the Eastern Bloc and with no 'Super Earth is starting this shit through mass prole oppression' shtick as with the Cyborgs, they're just engaged in border provocation until the Federation decides to go into a hot war with the monarcho-communist Arachnoids
I don't think any of the other Starship Troopers media I haven't yet watched is any more charitable
Bugs bad
But the humans wear fashion that looks vaguely similar to Nazi fashion. Shouldn't we let our entire species go extinct because of that?

Can you buy me a PS5?
Anyone know how super credit pickups work? I thought each one was worth 10, but is it actually a variable amount?
I'm pretty sure I was at 770 earlier, did 1 mission where I found 4 SC pickups (which I think I read is the maximum) and ended up at 900. Not sure if it's bugged, or if they're randomly giving it out because of server issues or some shit.
This is all in solo play btw, I haven't been playing with randoms at all
press esc to check your amount before and after you pick them up
oh nice, I didn't know you could check it mid mission, I thought you had to be in the ship.
40 per hour is the "projected average" some developer stated, but I can guarantee you that's a lowball for anyone halfway decent at the game who bothers to scavenge for caches. Even if each map is limited to 40, you could run at least two maps in an hour.
You may also have had some super credits from a previous mission arrive on delay.

Being a blind moron. When I first saw this I was like, why am I holding a red ball and hesitated.
you can literally see the eagle symbol on the beam after he throws it. that's a special kind of moronic.
he's playing on playstation. he has no brains.
he has bad credit.
he has a beeping smoke detector.
It literally tells you if you will have this debuff on a mission before you even begin the mission and jump so the guys running it were moronic
nta, but I got fooled the first time I dropped onto an ECM planet, dropped a 15 incher barrage on us. Thankfully it was so inaccurate that it didn't actually manage to kill anyone.
If the viewpoint player just stood there looking at it, it would be a simple comedy clip. But he was clearly still inputting his railgun call in. Well, maybe that was part of the skit too.
why are you guys talking about politics instead of talking about how this game is p2w
>p2w
more like a moron check
Horrible bait
>thinking you can speak sense into this general
Before helldivers it was a 40k chud cesspool. You're going to get fascism fanboys here.
It's a theocracy. Facism is the state above all, 40k imperium is the emperor above all.
humans are the good guys, sorry bug Black person
the bugs are winning
the narrative will not allow that to continue
the imperium isn't fascist, it's a feudal theocratic oligarchy
I absolutely love strong pro-human sentiments in scu fi, even id its a silly facism satire ornwhatever.
I don't really care i just my trive(humanity) to kill everything that doesn't look, think or behaves how we do.
Honestly i've been lowkey suspecting that the identity politica divisive politics bullshit might be a psychological operation by a faraway alien civ steadily disarming earth while their fleets travel throughout impossible cosmic lenghts
Lets assume they'll arrive 10k years from now, right?
That'd mean that even slightest bit of societal disruption and division would become a major strategic advantage so long as it slows our development as a species by even fraction of a percent. Especially seeing how human technology develops at an exponential rate
You would probably love this one creepypasta? that got posted some time ago.
Some anon was basically posting about a scifi concept with humans where we achieved galactic travel and we went off in search of intelligent life, but could never find it. Humans kept advancing like crazy far in tech and eventually build what they called a dreadnaught that was like several kilometers long and was massive.
Eventually they found the first contact of intelligent life and it was space fairing. But when they dropped outta hyper space near them, the aliens were freaking the frick out. Humans as a hsow of good faith dropped their shields and attempted to communicate but something went wrong and it came out super jumbled and static. One of the aliens freaked out and fired at them, and killed like 3 or 4 humans. The humans not wanting to frick up their first interaction with aliens turned tail and started to jump home but an alien ship was in their way and they just plowed through it to get home.
A bit later they found out that apparently the galaxy is SUPER densely populated where there are thousands of species all over the milky way all fighting for resources. The reasons humans never found any was because we basically lived in the galactic equivalent of the Bermuda triangle. Every civilization that ever tried to start in that area went insane and basically killed themselves.
So the aliens were freaking out because a massive ship bigger then any ship any race had ever seen jumped outta this forbidden space where nothing should be alive, spews a garbled static and gibberish, then plows through a battle cruiser and jumps back into this space of insanity.
So humans then leaned into it, and said frick it, and started to pretend they were crazy and these monstrous aliens. Always appearing in hulking power armor, using voice modulators, never being seen outside their armor.
Though to pull the greatest trick over every alien in the galaxy, you gotta be a bit crazy.
The thing is, rationally and realistically speaking no alien would be stupid enough to mistake what the human ship did. It killed some civvies on accident but it should be pretty clear from doing a post mortem on its behavior that it had no real hostile intent. Diplomacy would have ensued not very long after.
Just to clarify it wasn't a creepypasta but a HFY. I miss those.
>Though to pull the greatest trick over every alien in the galaxy, you gotta be a bit crazy.
I liked that HFY.
Especially the bit where humanity starts observing other races inside the same sector and the one that got the farthest was a race of furries that got to the industrial revolution before comitting mass suicide.
The bit where a race of humanoid insectoids is born literally fighting each other was too on the nose though.
I'm rushing main objectives with no detours because the longer I'm in the game the more likely I am to disconnect and earn nothing. Don't blame me blame the game for being unstable. I'm not gonna spend an hour collecting samples just to have the server shit on me 30 seconds before extract.
May you always have a vote
Hey is this game fine now? have they added some servers? i've been thinking of buying it but got discouraged after seeing great numbers of people complaining about the servers
I no longer have a queue and matchmaking works, so yes.
Cool, my only other worries are about the anti cheat and the fact that i don't know if its fun with randoms
It's fun with competent randoms who you mostly meet in higher difficulties.
Matchmaking is broke again?
Did they remove daily orders? I haven't gotten one today or yesterday.
Turing >90% bros we might get it by the end of the night.
Are servers fricked right now? I keep getting infinite loading screens.
I'd be able to help if the GOD DAMN SERVER would let me!
>get to difficulty 4
>game is pretty hard
>get autocannon
>game is pretty fun
I've been using it against bots from difficulty 4-8 and I love it so much.
What else should I be trying out? I'm not 20 yet but I enjoyed the recoiless vs bugs.
Even though I'm level 15, I like playing trivial and easy missions still. I like matching with newbies to show them the ropes.
The real fun is carrying lvl 5 noobies through hard where you’re the only one doing objectives
Just tell them it's about fascism because they wear black uniforms and watch them start hyperventilating.

Damn these guys must've been real bastards. But if immigrants show up on the same landmass you're on I guess you're just allowed to kill them all.
Y'know, it only just struck me that the bugs didn't even bother to eat those guys, just offed them and left the corpses where they fell. That's some wasteful thinking for insects.
No, but you ARE still.diding with space wienerroaches.
You can break chargers back facing leg armor with medium pen weapons like autocannon, slugger, mg34 and impact grenade
Much harder to do solo with the slower firing weapons like slugger since it turns around quickly unless you bait it into a wall
Is this game worth playing if I don't have pals to play it with? It looks fun but as always with these games I can never tell if it'd be fun with strangers. Also I don't wanna do the wrong thing by accident and piss everybody off.

>Film is unquestionably and utterly non-subtly in-universe propaganda, all the way down to having countless shots specifically narrated and guided to the cameraman
>All of the movie shows the horrors of war as tragedies to the MI and the innocents of the Federation by a paradoxically unthinking and utterly moronic yet hyper-competent and extremely intelligent bug menace, with countless obvious flaws of the Federation's policies and actions never once criticized or reflected on
>New discourse is "Was the movie a satire/parody of fascism" instead of "Was this movie supposed to be an in-setting recruitment video that is as heroic as it is hypocritical?"
I'm legitimately of the opinion that there should be an intelligence test before we permit people into certain parts of the internet.
It was literally never at any point a propaganda movie in its entirety. Verhoeven speaks of it as an existing, real world. The news segments are the in-universe propaganda. The bits where the characters frick and go to school and shoot bugs are real.
>The bits where the characters frick and go to school and shoot bugs are real.
Those are quite literally the lynchpin for why the entire film is in-universe propaganda. The final sequence of the movie is quite literally listing off the main cast to the beat of narration identifying them and how close they are to the common to-be citizens they aim to recruit. It's not divorced from the rest of the news bulletins, it's woven directly into it. The entire story about the heroic Ubermensch Johnny Rico and the initial failed invasion of Klendathu with the following exceedingly heroic offense and defense and extraction mission is framed as a "This could be YOU!" story from start to finish, and it very openly concludes on it being obvious propaganda at the end. The entire film is a very obvious propaganda film made by the Federation to convince citizens to enlist. You can morally ascribe whatever feelings on FASCISM GOOD/BAD or whatever, but the reason it's a series of blatant ideals in the foreground with dozens of crippling problems in the background is intentional and by design.
>very obvious propaganda
Damn, someone should tell verhoeven. While they're at it tell him to throw in a reason why it's bad to fight against space bugs that want to eat you all if you're wearing a no-no costume.
You're too illiterate to argue with, so I'm just not going to bother with anything other than calling you a homosexual, and I'm going to move on.
homosexual.
You can't call me a homosexual anon, that's evil fascism and that means you're wrong. Jeeze, it's like you've learnt nothing.
Tell him why defending women and children from unreasonable space monsters is suppose to be satire because humanity wears trench coats and have medals on their chest? Please leftist subhuman since you're so obviously philosophically more aware than everyone else in the thread.
Again, you can't comprehend what I'm saying because you're too illiterate. Your stance is already pointlessly misguided, because I never once stated any positive or negative thoughts on the Federation's actions, but your thoughts are so clouded by your /misc/-flavored brain maggots that you think I'm your lefty enemy. My stance was singularly that the film is in-universe propaganda, and there's innumerable other sci-fi stories that have played with this concept, but your political religion is the most important thing to you. You're either illiterate or just mentally unwell.
What's wrong with propaganda if there's nothing depicted as incorrect or inhuman about it? Propaganda against humans is bad because they're still thinking, feeling humans. Making a big ad campaign about how we need to wipe out mosquitos isn't very evil. A little stupid maybe, but not evil.
>What's wrong with propaganda
You're already proving my point. I never said anything was wrong with the movie, nor did I say whether anything in it was good or bad. My irritation with the morons (yourself especially included making this present-day discourse is that you cannot process that the film itself is simply a propaganda piece. The Mobile Infantry fighting is just a necessity because they have a specific enemy that is highly dangerous. The Federation is highly incompetent and fails on many levels, but they still keep their planet safe and their troops well-armed. There is no point to an argument about whether or not their pretend fascism should be regarded as a good thing or not, because that's an irrelevant argument to the point of the film.
>the film itself is simply a propaganda piece
Again, verhoeven doesn't think so.
>There is no point to an argument about whether or not their pretend fascism should be regarded as a good thing or not
Now that actually is 100% against what he thinks. He's firmly in the camp that they're completely in the wrong and that is the intended message. You've somehow taken his very basic premise and somehow turned it into pointless sludge when even by the directors word it's all very straightforward.
I just think he's both wrong and not very convincing about it.

Is the laser cannon meant to be used against Bots or is it just a bad weapon in general?
The starship trooper discourse is cringe. You nerds writing essays are giga cringe
Why are you trying to defend alien parasites that will mindlessly kill and eat women and children? Subversion and satire are such a terrible cloak you leftist freaks try to hide under.
The frick are you on about schizo
Do I have to be the host to unlock higher tier difficulties? I've done lots of difficulty 6 missions but 7 hasn't unlocked yet.
Kind of want it, kind of waiting until they unfrick shit.
All my friends are playing though and I have a feeling by the time armor is actually working and servers are stable, they'll all be burnt out because they are autistic fricks who are already level 24.
The afk boot timer fixed most of the queue issues. Theres still some crashing but overall you shouldn't have trouble getting into the game anymore.
What am I even reading? People really do not understand that the humans are the bad guys in starship troopers?
This is a Helldivers thread sir.
Oh sorry, I couldnt tell
>defending women and children from unreasonable monsters that will rip them apart and eat them makes you the le bad guy
kill all leftists.
Well maybe he should've laid it on a bit thicker. You know, given a reason why they're bad, given a reason why there's anything wrong with them or what they're doing, you know, just make it really unsubtle.
sure just like the imperium is le bad in 40k too
... it is, they literally feed most people human corpses
Eating people in a dire situation is officialy not evil. The pope absolved those plane crash cannibals.
corpse starch is good for you, you want to grow up strong to serve the Emperor don't you?
DON'T YOU?
but really what are you going to do with Trillions of bodies? burn them? not feasible and actually wasteful
>reprocessing the inevitable mass dead of a hive world to continue to sustain it is the same as murdering and eating people for sustenance
moron ALERT
this is fake troony fan lore, most humans in 40k just eat algae from the agri worlds, corpse starch is used as a last resort in conflicted worlds.
It's literally not possible to sustain your population on corpses unless your population is constantly massively shrinking, which it isn't (at least on a per world basis). Think about all the food it takes to grow a human compared to how much their body will provide.
The imperium has entire worlds for farming.
Post like this will be used in the future as evidence of why the liberal purges were necessary. How can any society survive with traitors like this?
This is why Vaush was exposed as a pedophile degenerate. All you frickers with literal upside down morality to think defending your people from literal space monsters that decapitate and pulll people apart with razor sharp claws need to be killed.
your obsession with being a "good guy" is the reason why everyone hates you leftist trannies, and most of the time you wind up being the closest to the contrary, no such thing as good and evil, just who survives and can protect their own.
Literally never, their anti cheat makes modding the game impossible.
humans can never be the bad guys, humans are always great
you fricking race traitor kys
Humans are bad guys, but they aren't THE bad guys. The bugs are the bad guys, and the movie shows that the aspects of humanity that make them more like the bugs are bad qualities.
you sound like you want to frick the bug, homosexual.
I mean, as long as they're democratic
here's your difficulty 7 party, anons.
have fun!
railgungay spotted
What compels them to do it?
modded servers when? i want 8-16 player shitshows with increased spawns.
yeah its really shit its only 4 people it needs to be 16 like the starship troopers game
The starship troopers game is one of the worst early access failures of all time.
i liked it but it was really disappointing how they just abandoned it theres been like 0 new content since the first release and now its completely dead
just imagine the friendly fire with 16 rovers and cluster bombs

YES we probably started a war with the bugs
YES we learned how to farm them for OIL
YES that probably has consequences so we kill them over and over
YES it is based, we're just making more oil
Every dead bug lets a new helldiver through the login queue
now that the dust has settled, what's the easiest and most efficient way to farm XP solo?
also thinking about redownloading the old build with the duplicate-stratagem exploit and using that to my advantage with mortars or something idk
>what's the easiest and most efficient way to farm XP solo?
Defense mission but once you hit level 20 leveling up is kinda meaningless.
i'm level 50 and experience has been irrelevant since level 20, what are you expecting to gain? also seriously doubt the devs are THAT incompetent that you can somehow connect an old build to a constantly online auth server and exploit it
>also seriously doubt the devs are THAT incompetent that you can somehow connect an old build to a constantly online auth server and exploit it
you'd be surprised, i tried downgrading after the patch and it worked fine
maybe there's a "grace period" for people to be able to keep playing immediately after a patch, i guess there's no guarantee it'll work now but it can't hurt to try
dif 9 bot defense in random MM
did it for a few hours today and every group except one knew the strat of mortar turret, ems mortar turret, autocannon turret
it's the best farm for xp, req, and medals
still gotta play regular matches for samples though

They just love to gloss over the fact that the bugs fricking eat women, children, grandmas, grandpas, babies. ALL unprovoked. To think that these subhumans and even verhoeven himself tries to justify all this by saying humanity is still the le evil one for DEFENDING their civilians from BEING RIPPED APART AND FRICKING EATEN. Sick world, Now I can see why God flooded this shithole before seeing how sick humanity is now I can't even imagine how bad it was before requiring divine intervention.
It's a self report about their own lack of humanity. They are empty shells only capable hatred and envy that want to see everyone suffer as they do.
It's freezing more frequently the longer I play.
Your flesh is a relic; a mere vessel. Hand over your flesh, and a new world awaits you.

What was his fricking problem?
serves them right they trusted a commie.
He's pretty justified. Humanity opened up with massive-scale purges and pogroms of machinekind in the Second Renaissance, and when they fricked off and made a city in a desert in Africa and offered nothing more than a peace treaty, the various forces of earth murdered the diplomats and then tried to nuke their one city out of existence. Then humanity lost the war, and we can only assume he was there to sign the peace offering, but at this point I really don't think there's any trusting the various countries in charge during the film, so obliterating them all at once is probably just the smartest move.
Let me guess, you autistic drooling morons don't think robocop is satire either?
Does Robocop murder and eat women and children unprovoked?
No but he is a satirical portrayal of many similar themes as the humans in starship troopers.
Ok but humanity isn't evil for stopping literal monsters from killing their entire families the same way Robocop isn't evil for capping Black folk and corrupt as shit cops and corpo executive dickheads that build murdermachines.
robocop is an american hero.
It's also toothless.
>uh police good but ineffective because of THE MAN, the poor little cops need all the help they can get
There's a reason there's not many leftists making big "uh the secret meaning of robocop" posts. It's still pro-cop.
If somebody makes a satire about the holocaust.
Does that make the holocaust not a concern?
Robocop satirizes a real thing in the real world, thats a real problem.
It's one of Verhoeven's failed satires that became anti-satire unintentionally.
>man makes good satire once
>this means he makes good satire forever
The fact is that Starship Troopers fails as satire because it doesn't establish anything that implicates Humans are the bad guys other than being bad at war (incompetence, not malice) and having lots of propaganda (all of the propaganda they make is endearing and quoted to this day unironically). It's failed satire. The Bugs are objectively evil.
Why is the game suddenly forcing windowed mode?
Alright, can someone who isn't a troony give it to me straight about this game? Is it a troony game or a chud game. No chud. No buy.
Sorry bro its troony, now you can't enjoy it. I'm gonna go back to killing bugs with my bros now
A troony has played it, so now you can't play it. So now you can simply not buy it and vacate these threads and any discussion.
It's 100% a chud game.
i just love that this game is hitting off.
i loved the first one and it makes me so happy how the 2nd one has turned out.
As someone who never played the 1st one, would you say the 2nd is an improvement overall? I think the consensus is that the shift to 3d and graphics are way better but some of the weapon balance/variety is lacking
i'd say the immersion definitely helps. you've gone from a top-down shooter to a 3rd person where everything is to scale. that feeling of being overwhelmed and overcoming the odds really hits along with calling in danger-close firesupport.
the lack of variety in the weapons is a downer, like no tanks or mechs you can get in, plus they cut a faction as well.
hopefully they will all be introduced in the coming future content.
the illuminate and mechs are being added in a later update
Automatons are clearly Cyborgs to the point they have the same units. Bugs are still bugs, even if a bit different. Science thot says something about it actually, paraphrased but basically "technically they're not the same bugs as the last war due to 100 years of accelerated evolution and other shit"
It remains to be seen if Illuminate will get a "2.0" rework or be the same classic Illuminate, as they're one of those space-ancient species and a hundred years is a blink of an eye they could be Helldivers 1 Illuminate but in a new game. I look forward to shitter tears when they meet an Illusionist if so.

Well, I will probably cave and install this game tomorrow. What are my chances of meeting a cute girl Helldiver?
I dont see a lot of female coded names around.
This is a quintessential dude game.
Most girls play in friend groups so you will likely never meet them, that and at most you'll see players with randomized voices which includes the girls.

I have seen the words "Failed satire" so much it feels like people found a new buzzword and ran with it
the actual galaxy brain take is that people enjoy starship troopers BECAUSE it is satirical
Being an action-comedy doesn't make it "satire".
Why exactly does the idea of the comedy containing satire cause so much revulsion? it's fricking bizarre
It's not satire though.
Okay, let me give you an example.
The Federation is established as a near utopian society where the only caveat is you need to join the military to vote. Don't want to join the military? That's okay! You can just be an NPC that works any civilian job. There's no downside to this.
Okay, let's look at the bugs now. Colonists intruded on their territory, which the Federation itself did not want ("Arachnid Quarantine Zone'), and the Bugs responded not only by killing the colonists but also launching an asteroid at Earth which was so obviously not launched by the Federation (despite what some claim) that it almost impacts a Federation ship. The war is thus one of Earth legitimately defending itself from overaggressive wienerroaches that eat brains.
How do we fix this and make it satire? Okay, let's say in the opening scenes at the school we have a homeless guy looting through a trash can. The students comment on this quite negatively, except for one student who stands up for the homeless man. The teacher quietly writes his name down.
Then midway through the film there is a propaganda commercial talking about 'Remedial Corps' or 'Penal Corps'. They are shown picking up trash, ostensibly working jobs while "our boys" fight the Bugs. The homeless guy is shown, with a forced smile.
Later, at the end of the movie, we see the Penal Corps in action. They are partially lobotomized soldiers controlled by the Psychic dude. The homeless guy is one, as is the student who stood up for him.
Now it becomes clear. The Bugs suck out brains, the Federation suck out brains. THIS is satire.
btw in the book there is a social service route to voting rights.
Its one of those director changes to make it look more evil.
Even without this route, everyone who isn't a citizen is clearly okay with doing so. They just don't think about politics at all, which is the most normalgay thing in the world.
>Why are there not homeless crackheads in my satircal, utopian authoritarian facist society
God you are a moron. Those people are not shown because they get fricking executed. Just like that 1 guy in the movie who gets a trailer, sentenced and executed in the same day
>we never find out about the crime, so he could have been a murderer or he could have been a shoplifter
Really that scene only establishes the Justice system as perverse entertainment, which is happening in reality with the OJ trial and similar. Try again.
>there's no issues with a trial, sentence, and execution in the same day
Either trolling or genuinely brain dead
Either way have a good one. Don't forget to wipe and brush your teeth, moron
You have a right to a speedy trial, not a lengthy one.
>The Federation sucks out brains, the Bugs suck out brains
comparing and contrasting the way the society is made to turn you into a jarhead vs the hivemind of the bugs is the most basic reading to make, they even envy the complete cohesion at some points
Militaries aren't evil just because you get yelled at or abused, nor are societies with militaries automatically fascist. Try again.
People are saying it because it's true.
How do bugs travel between stars?
It's not your place to ask questions. As Helldivers all we need to know is that they are a threat to our democracy.
lore is unironically we dont know how
Same way they get into our countries, traitors
Spores, most likely. Either on asteroids or on Human ships.
Most likely answer is its exactly like the Starfield terrormorphs. They start out small, hitch rides on spacecraft as just nuisance bugs, then get real real big later
They have larval phases as heat-feeding leeches that attach themselves to colony ships which then travel to nearby systems.
something we haven't seen before. some kind of space bug.
on their space ships, duh
So is quickplay not working? I can't join any games or have anybody join me. Just got the game
I keep my "I Voted" sticker until the next election.
Which difficulty is the most fun in your opinion? I just unlocked 7 and I'm not having a good time although I hear that's because Automatons are overtuned. For context, I've played 2 bug missions ever, I think it's the fact that quickplay always puts me in Automaton missions, probably people trying to complete the weekly objective.
I NEED MORE THINGS TO UNLOCK
Mechs soon
Can I fricking play this game now or what? I'd buy it in like a week or two, but not if I'd be locked into an hours long queue with disconnects.
Yeah queue issue is mainly resolved now
they increased the server capacity and added an afk timer today so you can get in with basically no issue now
this weekend though? who knows
CEO came out and said new servers are up and people should be able to log in now... weather that is gonna fix Quickplay remains to be seen
It's great that I can log in and join games but I'm getting connection errors like 80% of the time?
so why dont we just agree that super earth is a fascist regime? Who cares lol
It's a democracy, but obviously you care chud.
>lol
it's a super democracy for super earth you homosexuals
>t. lorelet
Its a MANAGED Democracy.
You fill out a series of questions and your vote is cast "based" on your answers, to avoid unnecessary confusion in the voting process.
I know this is seen as a bad thing, but honestly actual democracy could use a way of filtering who can and cannot vote, not to the extent of helldivers but, morons really shouldn't have the right to vote.
>landowning white men
This was figured out quite some time ago
who are you quoting
The founding fathers of America and it's constitution you ignorant swine
but the anon never said anything about that, Black person. you should be disallowed from voting
>too dumb to recognize the US constitution
>uhhh yo..you're a Black person!
Classic /misc/tard. Why don't you stick to the Call of Duty threads
dont reply to me, Black person
>I said the Black person word! That must make me right and everyone disregard how stupid my other posts were
Everyone here thinks you're just pathetic
erm, Black person, i said dont reply to me. comprende?
Does anyone respect you enough to do what you've told them to? Based on your posts, I kind of doubt it
Black person, can you not read?
>Put in code for strategem
>click ONCE to get back control of my mouse
>fricking headshot teammate
I just quit right there, there was so explaining at that point.
if super earth is a super democracy why dont we hear from the president
he's too busy being a super president
He's mentioned in one of the commercials that plays in the lobby.
You know in a proper Democracy "The President" wouldn't be the most important politician/celebrity in the state. The increasing levels of autocracy/celebrity clout given to US presidents is, in fact, not a good thing.
The super earth super president would 10000% be a celebrity
I don't recall every stating that Super Earth is a "proper democracy", it's clearly a Managed Democracy which is obviously EVEN BETTER ok thank you.
(I couldn't find the original USA version of this so enjoy this outdated /5eg/ version)
We do, there's a quote from the president on the TV saying how it's time to take the are to the bots for slaughtering colonists.
Why are players obsessed with Malevelon Creek?
You wouldnt understand. I was there. I saw. You will NEVER understand.
still not even 25%
when the frick will it end bro......
>diligence counter-sniper
>wow a primary sniper with a little more damage and a nicer scope but a smaller mag
>what a nice trade-off let's get it
>less magazine capacity and handles like a fricking heavy support weapon except it's a primary weapon with 10 times less of a damage output
Weapon balance is all over the fricking place in this game.
yeah, the Breaker > everything is kinda lame. I wanna use other shit... Also is the Slugger really just a shitter Punisher? why wouldn't a Slug at least have Moderate Armor Pen.?
It does have med armor pen. It seems like there is something wrong with the listed store stats. The slugger is pretty much a sidegrade compared to the breaker. Better at single large targets, a lot worse at clearing chaff.
oh, neat. the stat card said Light Pen. and was a mirror of its Pg.1 copy
slugger stats are wrong it has medium pen
it's quite good honestly, I think people aren't aware yet because it's pretty far down the BP compared to the breaker
I'm kind of warming up to the regular diligence for bots, feel like it's better for hitting weak spots and when the chainsaw frickers arrive I just shoot their torsos.
Really I've kind of learnt to shoot bots in a less braindead way, it REALLY took me this long to figure out that the bulky bots just shoot with one arm and if you shoot that arm off they literally can't do anything other than attempt to slowly get closer to you so they can punch you.
The chainsaw frickers are weaker in the torso because it's thin and overheated so you literally rip them in half with your bullets.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
The DMR should have the damage/penetration profile of the AMR, and the AMR should have the damage/penetration profile of the Autocannon (but no AoE and a bigger weak point multiplier).
less maximum mags, on top of the already reduced magazine capacity*
The weapon is useless.
The zoom is so little too that you could just "snipe" with better shit like the liberator penetrator or even the mother fricking got danged diddly fricking Breaker, literally use any other weapon FRICK.
The Slugger is a better marksman rifle than the DMR.
Do you have to time the charge at above 90% or so for full damage using the railgun, or do you just have to wait for it to get above 50%?
>still no armor fix
>majority of weapons, stratagems, and nades are still useless
My patience wears thin
>"WELL UHH ACKSHUALLY X OR Y IS TOTALLY VIABLE"
If you play below difficulty 7 your opinion has no weight and literally doesn't matter
the optimal gameplay experience is extreme
>starship troopers
>flopped in the US, railed by critics
>loved and praised everywhere else
Really gets the noggin jogging... I wonder where all these "I-ITS NOT SATIRE!!!!" posters are from
doing the reload assist with the autocannon is so fricking fun. the amount of shit you can frick up in a short while is astounding.
average random matchmaking player who drops a cluster right at the start
That guy just had his first match on Malevelon Creek.
Perhaps covering the operation modifier text in yellow paint would help these illiterates.
Anybody else getting these infinite loading screens? Can finally get in but I can't connect to anybody or play a mission solo
Works on my machine ;^)
does the shield backpack regen after a little while (like a rover does) or does it just fade away when time is up and you have to call it again (like the shield station)
>Play with mates
>Put difficulty any higher than hard
>They rage quit when their lone wolf playstyle gets them killed
I hate having casuals as friends...
What the frick? You literally just follow the herd from objective to objective and you literally cannot lose under like diff 7.
Some people get overly caught up in the "epic last stand" mentality and get swarmed to death
The game is only worth playing on the harder settings, I genuinely don't see what's fun spending 40 mins running around and never encountering anything remotely like a challenge
>Some people get overly caught up in the "epic last stand" mentality and get swarmed to death
Been soloing bugs and bots for a while to the point where I can comfortably solo diff 7 missions and I literally can't fathom how people could suck so bad.
Soloing literally teaches you all you need to do in order not to get killed and what kind of options you can exploit in a team (since you absolutely feel the lack of players when you're solo) and in the worst case scenario you become bug bait so your teammates can shoot them while you aggro them effectively.
The players you mention must have a main character syndrome but exclusively play on multiplayer like pansies.
most players don't play solo lobbies
most players don't realize rushing the main objectives is pointless
most players don't realize there is no reward for killing enemies beyond being able to more safely interact with the loot or objective in a given area
AND MOST ESPECIALLY
most players don't realize that if they've stripped an area clean, they should just fricking leave and move on to their next objective
>most players don't realize that if they've stripped an area clean, they should just fricking leave and move on to their next objective
I fricking hate when in a whole ass team, the other 3 morons who also somehow got far enough into the progression to unlock the energy shield backpack don't realize that they don't have to fricking fight the bots on an ebin standoff while we're on the last 10 minutes of the mission and we still have another objective on the other side of the map.
You have a fricking BACKPACK that shields you from BULLETS.
Just RUN, ZIGZAG IF YOU MUST BUT FRICKING MOVEGOD FRICKING DAMN IT.
this is me but only when my friends talk me into playing a game I've never played before and they INSIST on max difficulty settings
This is the worst. I got my friends into this game and I just let them host and brought in whatever gear they had access to and let them learn the game. It's so much more fun just being along for the ride as they figure the game out. Even just doing things like telling them weakspots or how to kill chargers honestly hurts the new player experience dramatically.
i hate stalkers so fricking much

This is an SOS from the Spear of Iron requesting assistance in a level 5 bot mission on Mantes.
why does the shooting in this game feel so ass
It's the opposite for me. MG is satisfying as frick.
Made for a controller :/
You can make it more bearable by disabling mouse smoothing in the settings, but that little circle telling you what you're gonna hit independently of your crosshair ain't going away.
I keep getting kicked. My money is stolen. STOP KICKING ME.
Start hosting. There is literally no reason to join matches.
this is the most boring fricking game i've ever played. You owe me $40 /v
Cool, frick off.
Just wait until the honey moon period wears off. Progression is kind of fricked to be honest. The game doesn't have staying power when you're just endlessly grinding for a shitty battle pass after. Boggles my mind L4D2 is still the gold standard for a co op horde shooter. Barely has any progression like unlocks yet its still more fun to play
Probably because everyone is playing the game non-stop. These types of games are meant to played on and off.
Please refund it, we're fricking full
>join difficulty 7 termanid extermination

I would shoot you too.

diff 7, bugs 2/4
Glad I got like 70 hours in before the game really really blew up. All the zoomers who bought it after asmongold played it. No way I am playing with randoms again until these "people" get bored and move on to the next palworld
>to the next palworld
you can just say flavor f the month goyslop.
When are we getting a skull visage like helmet? It would be so fricking kino..
Do you guys play with randos? Couldn't convince my normalfriends to buy it they all got Last Epoch.
They're ok for the most part. But I'm stuck in difficulty 6. 7 just won't unlock for me no matter how much I play.
How does the % and defend actually work? I was doing some defense missions yesterday and the planet had a small blue bar and a long red bar. With every completion though it said squad contribution 1 or 2 and that brought completion from 99.9999% to 100%
yeah these extraction missions scale out of control if you're a bumbling moron.
Take a recoilless rifle, shoot all dropships out of the sky, small enemies who might call in more dropships always die.
It's not hard.
https://twitter.com/Krekkov/status/1760864373663264977
I think they need to add harder difficulties or modifiers that a little more fun. 100% call in time is fricking awful.
Unironically add shitty Diablo modifiers like flaming, teleporting, or tesla coil enemies.
is the arc thrower any good
>figure I'll test this new afk kick feature by seeing if I can log in at 8pm
>I can
>have some fun and finally complete a whole rank 6 mission, now I can do suicide.
woo. this latest patch seems to have actually done something.
I've been logging in with no issue at 7am, 11 am, 1 pm, and 8 pm.
I thought they just fixed the servers, not even with the afk kick patch because yesterday and the day before I could too.
MANTES IS OURS AGAIN!
FRICK YOU BOT Black folk YOU WILL NEVER DESTROY OUR WAY OF LIFE
is it over?
It's finally over.
maybe now they can finally fix the rest of the game
Just got finished contributing to the war effort on Mantes. The defense of Mantes is looking good for us hellbros.
Good on you if you can somehow finish an extraction mission.
Lord knows I can't even do it with a full team.
Farthest I got with randos was 45 evacuations on suicide and we went in with like 50 sentries.
I could solo on medium but it would mean I'd have to slog through the other two missions on baby difficulty and that's just not fun tbh.
which planets need defending from bots?
planet earth
all of them
The one that says "DEFEND" on it
Good luck with the fricking rescue missions tho. The unending tide of bots consumes all
Good new everyone!
The Swedes managed to make a number go higher.
For some reason they decided to not make the number go higher than what it needs to be, and set it to something they expect to cap out at anyway.
Remember: the Swedes deserve every grenade attack they get.
why did you react with the trans flag?
Because I'm trans.
that's the super react highlight i think? the heart is also highlighted like that
Way too late, they ruined their peak player count chance of getting 500k-1m
They will get a significant amount more than 500k for sure. They won't get 1 million though, which would have been in the cards if the server issues never happened.
>we expect to reach 700,000 CCU
I doubt it.
Reminder, they are talking about Steam and PS5 combined.
already went past that last weekend buddy
Holy fricking shit on a stick I love arrowhead.
nobody has an excuse to not back this game now.
Are we still arguing about who the bad guys are?
The bots are literal robot freak commies and the bugs are brainless bugs. Super Earth is in the right. Just look at what happened to Draupnir.
Draupnir Chads how we feelin about hitting 25%?
we will reclaim xzar and march into the creek once more
>Game was starting to get annoying as frick past difficulty 5
>Unlock recoilless rifle
>Game is more bareable now
Seriously all those times to wasting all my ammo to drop one charger and the game spawns fricking 4 at once, how else were people dealing?
this is why i say difficulties should've been tied to levels.
you just do not get the gamesense nor toolkit to manage heavies in a swarm until you're past level 10 at the LEAST
Once you unlock the railgun you won't even have to waste the backpack slot with the autocanon's ammo.
2 shots in the front leg and like 4 shots from the breaker in that leg and they're done, like 5 to 8 seconds per charger tops.
The expendable AT works great for killing chargers. If you don't miss, you can kill 2 by destroying the leg armor then killing them with your primary. If you do miss, you get another set in 60 seconds.
Just helped liberate Turing. I guess I should go help deal with those robots now.
>0 queues all day
>can find games within 30s
>but no one can join if I host
other than 3 times I was stuck on infinite loading screen, game is almost fixed (playability wise)
So I just unlocked the Spear, went into a mission against Automatons to test it out, and it seems incredibly inconsistent with its Lock-on, sometimes it locks on fine, other times it just keeps going back and forth between locking on and losing target, with both me and the target sitting still. Im unsure if im doing anything wrong, or if the thing is just really buggy. Its damage also seems to vary greatly, one tank took 3 shots, another took 1, all hits on the top of the turret. Could be bad hits, could be something else.
Thank frick it's over.
Now I can go fight roboBlack folk without my autism nagging me to finish off bugworld.
unlocked scorcher on this planet just in time for bots
>Turing was at 91% an hour ago
>Now it's 71%
Yeah I'm not going to care anymore and just play on random planets now.
Turing appears liberated despite it saying 71%.
When we 100% a planet everyone still in a mission counts as a 'fail' and drags the percentage down, even though it's won.
>thinking your autistic grinding matters in the long run
Shit is calculated based on the number of active players like in helldivers 1, so the only thing that matters the most is what percentage of players are contributing.
Unironically it's like voting, leave your grain of salt, sand, or your two cents and move on.
Not worth it stressing out over it like a moron sperg since you're literally not going to win the war on your own, no matter how many times you spam the same missions.
It's like voting in that your voice doesn't really matter, but if you get enough people to listen then you can make an impact.
Why are people losing their shit over the bots winning some planets? Do people expect that we will win 100% of the battles? That won't be fun, because the inner planets will never come under threat and be playable then.
What will happen when we 100% liberated all planets?
we win
FREEDOM (and cool uniforms for the participants, if the first game's anything to go by)
Oh man the winning uniforms are going to be amazing in HD.
Think they'll give something extra to the players (us) who were in the first run from the beginning?
peace at last
The credits roll and we go home to super earth
we get frozen until the next war
The game ends, you can no longer play, congrat you just paid 40$ for a credit scene simulator
If it's like the first game then the government does something libtarded like giving robots voting rights or restoring the Terminid ecosystem, thus causing the wars to begin again in 5 in-universe years.
there's a rumor that the 3rd Faction is actually in, but we just haven't bullied the other Factions enough for them to reveal themselves
I can see them being added when the robot invasion ends
seems too early
>Napalm
>Bombing run
>B-1 supply pack for the team
Yup. It's time to go fight robots.
