The flavor of the month is getting stale. Time for a new one.
Yeah I don't think it has to do with the PSN stuff as much as people think, the people that were engaged in that drama are probably the people most dedicated to the game. Probably has way more to do with the moronic balancing and underwhelming war bonds. I thought for sure we'd at least have vehicles by now, especially considering I saw them mostly functioning in a leak like a month after release. Personally I don't really care about snoys antics the game just got dull for me and actively feels less fun than it did on release. They need to hurry up and get the third faction in the game or people are just going to bleed out
sony shut down the bots after the CEO got uppity
live service games live by the good will of the playerbase. no one cares if your game is fun if the perception is that they're getting fricking stomped on by the company.

>all time peak is 500k
With all the threads constantly being spammed here, I thought it was way more than that
the threads aren't spammed they are made when the main threads reaches the bump limit, its nothing like how p*lw*rld was
Frick around and find out
>dying so hard
the devs probably anticipated an all-time peak of 50k
all that shitty sony thing sort of put me off the game, my friends also kind of lost interest and theres other things I'm playing atm, I might come back if they publicly execute their entire HR department
>squids release
>it's accompied by more ship upgrades
>new warbond a few days later
>player count shoots back up
>OP dilates (he was going to anyway)
>still the most successful multiplayer game of 2024 (FOTY)
screenshot this
they should give the squids the troony colours and some flags
i bet a wiener-sucking homosexual like yourself would like that.
you absolute moron, guess who we would be fighting, maybe burn some lgbtqersfs++ in the propaganda monitor, if they did that the playercount would triple over night.
you're right
i was too short-sited
i.... i......
but then i wouldn't get to fight 41% of them
I can’t wait for the squids but I hope they unnerf alot of weapons, I want my eruptor back
I want them to put the slugger back in the game. Was one of the goat shotguns of all time for me. I got to use the eruptor for one (1) weekend before they removed it from the game
Yea just like destiny 2 when new dlc drops
>squids release
Sure thing bub, just two more weeks
There’s literally only like a months worth of content in the game. I just picked it up maybe three weeks ago, I’m only like level 30, and I have everything that is worthwhile to get. The rest is just ratrace bullshit and the gameplay is WAY too one-dimensional for that to stay fun past a few weeks tops.
I'm sure the fact that Sony still hasn't unblocked 90% of the games playerbase has nothing to do with it.
>live service game
people discovering that the devs are wasting all their time on shitty battle pass weapons and nerfing everything that's fun whilst releasing a new enemy maybe once every 2 months
devs are moronic and dropped the ball hard on balance
>devs are moronic
b-but reddit said they were doing their best! please understand and don’t criticize!
btw why do we infantilize game devs? apparently they can do no wrong?
Pretty sure they are working back that stuff and the dude in charge of balance is fricking moronic
>half the world can't buy the game
hmmm
Because the game is shit?
Here's what actually happened/is happening
>Sony tells devs to only allow people with a PSN account to play the game on Steam
>Devs ignore them and delay the PSN account requirement, even selling the game in countries where you can't even make a PSN account knowing that they will be banned in the future
>Sony, wanting to artificially inflate their PSN account numbers for their quarterly report to investors, demands that the PSN account requirement be enforced
>Shitshow ensues and Sony is made the laughingstock of the internet
>Sony bends the knee and backtracks on the PSN account requirement
>Devs get their buttholes blown open by Sony behind the scenes, most likely will get a huge chunk of their pay deducted and all the refunds from the countries that they sold it on will come out of their pay as well
>Because of all the fires they have to put out, devs are fumbling balancing the game and adding interesting content, leading to the players that are left getting bored and moving on
>out of their pay
Bad news for Sony then: they've already been paid.
of all the fires they have to put out, devs are fumbling balancing the game and adding interesting content, leading to the players that are left getting bored and moving on
Close but this was happening long before. They're fumbling because they agreed to one warbond per month and they put an absolute autist in charge of actually running the game.
>I still stand by my opinion that "40 damage always" is a good tradeoff for "100 damage randomly"
This is the same studio that made magicka, who's games were always 100 damage randomly.
>made the laughingstock of the internet
No one actually gives a shit
Because the new flavor of the month came out
They keep making everything fun about the game shit
The game got boring. Not enough variety in maps and objectives. The galactic war is fake and gay. The warbonds are uninteresting.
I'm not playing right now because all the guns are weak as frick, what's the point of grinding to unlock new shit if only the shotty feels okay? i even tried to play in the lower difficulties to see if i could make the other guns work but nah, they still take forever to kill and the bugs still take 60% of your hp per hit and slow you down and knock you down and have sex with your wife.
Its just boring tbh.
It's stabilizing to a population that a game like this ought to have. They might have a slightly higher population and better retention if they allowed more of the weapons to actually be fun but apparently that's literally impossible. As it is I'm personally just holding out for EDF with the boys, where I don't have to worry about things being held back for realism reasons.
>still wont remove shitty anti cheat that doesn't even work
This would be so fricking cool if they just did this.
That anti cheat is responsible for most of the latent performance problems, too. It scans EVERYTHING, so even if you have music in the background, it'll chug.
This warbond isn't very good. If they are going to add content it should be good content.
why? they'd just nerf all that shit
So it's fun to use at least for a week or two. I don't even have the 3rd gun unlocked and don't feel an urge to complete the warbond because it doesn't sound that good.
IMO the pistol is fricking great, better than the revolver
I usually just stick to redeemer or grenade pistol. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
Grenade pistol is better for utility reasons IMO. It should be in the default warbond but the nthere'd be no reason to buy the new one.
The only gun that's fun to shoot in this game is the Machine Gun. It sounds good, it's impactful, it shreds, the gun makes you want to let it rip.
These new guns? They all sound the same, all the gun designs look like fisher price, on top of this the balance is absolutely trash. The game is compromised on a fundamental level.
I think the tenderizer is better than the liberator, and that's saying something, because the liberator got buffed. It's weird because the numbers don't agree, but I feel like the low recoil is so hugely important in using the weapon effectively, and it has better ammo economy to boot. The tenderizer is fine outside of its color scheme which they've acnkowledged will be changed (although it does currently match my favorite armor set so it's not all bad).
The real issue with tenderizer is the same issue with liberator: you can't justify bringing it anywhere, really, because it's so badly outclassed against either faction
>snoy turns bots off
>suddenly fotm dying
This game is shit. Snoy is shit.
I blame israelites for that.
Good, any game that gets shilled by discord trannies on Ganker is 100% a troony game
i never played Helldivers to begin with. i just don't want to play another live service game at the moment
They banned all the countries playing it.
The 1-2-3 combo of the Sony bullshit, horrible balance patch and terrible warbond all happening in the course of a week made me lost almost all interest
If they don't announce an Eruptor revert this week I'll just play something else
FOTM
flavor of 3 to 4 months?
Loser + in every single helldivers thread + exposed as being brown
it's getting boring as we have done everything.
to keep a coop game extremely active in playerbase it requires a lot of end game goals and content.
luckily to keep playing all I need is my 3 friends
Come on, we all know why (pic related)
I stopped playing because they wouldn’t stop nerfing players arsenal while simultaneously buffing enemies all so they could artificially extend and pad out the time until we ending up liberating all the planets.
>over 2 million concurrent players
>over 100 enemies and pals with unique mechanics
>no anti-cheat/mods welcome
>$27
VS
>500k players at most
>two enemy groups
>invasive DRM used by fricking asiaticmmos
>$40+cashshop+battlepass (not early access btw but will totally nerf your favorite hard-earned weapons in the name of balance)
I kept calling it a dead FOTM slop for months and the universe bent to my will, basically.
I was level 100 and was burning out around the time the warbond with the Eruptor came out. So I'm probably going to shelve the game until Illuminate release.
The snoypass shit was funny and I might have dropped the game entirely had they not walked it back. I'm still waiting for them to try again somehow.
you shitters need to frick off already nobody is this obsessed lol
Your shitty fotm is fricking finished, hellsissy
Are people seriously complaining about player counts on a Monday afternoon?
cope more, troonchud
I'm gonna dive and gonna have a good time and there's nothing you can do about it
>feels the need to announce it
you're going to have nu-fun and you will cry yourself to sleep tonight
FOTM cycle
>OH MY FRICKING GOD THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVARRRRRRRRRRRR
>Threads fricking everywhere 24/7
>HEY U GUISE THE PATCHES......... SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>Threads fricking everywhere 24/7
>HURRDURR IVE MAXED OUT DA GAEM
>Still one or two threads up basically 24/7
>CHECK OUT THIS GRAPH ITS OVER VROS
>Threads finally dying down
Wonder what the next one will be this year
What game nowadays isn't a FOTM game?
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
I'm surprised it didn't die faster
the gameplay loop is absurdly boring and the battlepasses are fricking awful. Bad cosmetics, bad new guns, bad everything
I'm sick of the no fun allowed nerfing of every weapon they do so I quit. I would go back and play if they reverted the horrible balance changes.
That's strange. Nothing new has come out to replace it
WTF
The dev kneels before the disapproving buzz.
