>>712708920 (OP)
This game sucks ass. It's fun until you realize it actively fucks you with horrible pathfinding and no matter how good you become, you will die in the most ridiculous ways completely out of your control. That and most of the time you play isn't even in mission.

>>712708920 (OP)
every time I board the shuttle I feel like shutting the game off immediately. the gameplay is so damn good but holy shit when you've seen that exit sequence for the thousandth time it gets old. the dive sequence never gets old however

>>712708920 (OP)
Play on difficulty higher than 6, scrubdiver

>>712709193
the sequence is fine for me, but the end game stats and mission debrief are fucking useless, just load me into the ship I dont care about any of that shit

>>712708920 (OP)
What difficulty are you playing in OP?
Just finished a D10 mission and there were multiple breaches, bile titans, impalers, hordes of predators. They really should bring back the feature where if the Pelican got its paint scratched by a stray bullet it'd leave and come later, it's goofy when you drop a napalm barrage and somehow it's invulnerable.

>>712708920 (OP)
its a known bug thats low priority on the fix list, it happens when extract is near a corner of the map, the game forbids spawning enemies from out-of-bounds areas and if the surrounding area is partly out of bounds no enemies will spawn.

>>712709294
I use that time for bathroom breaks

>>712708920 (OP)
I turned off the music months ago because there's like one track per faction and on higher difficulties you're always in combat so it's constantly blaring in the background. I should devise a mod that only has the drop and extract music enabled.

HD1 extraction theme was better anyway

>>712709297
If you take 30 seconds to clear out all the stragglers and patrols chasing you to extract it's almost always a snooze. Calling it makes the enemy aggression skyrocket but that doesnt matter if there's no one to call a breach/drop. Another reason why early extract callers get cluster striked.

>permanent Illuminate front
What now

I forget, does the loadout selection screen even have music?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeLC55FOUCI

>>712708920 (OP)
Sometimes its like that. Other times the enemies wont stop spawning and everyone dies before anyone has a chance to even touch the extraction beacon

>>712709423
I'm still waiting for the event or warbond that will give us the HD1 theme

>>712708920 (OP)
Go play on level 7 or above.

What would you make for a hypothetical fourth faction?
Helldiver/SEAF defectors?

>>712710165
they have every sci fi alien trope covered with the 3 existing factions so the only thing left is just other humans.

>>712710165
It would probably have to be a new type of alien, Super Earth is such a big brother state that any rebellion would be snuffed out before it got anywhere

>>712710430
But what about tall big titty futa al-

>>712710165
>Helldiver/SEAF defectors?
The problem with that is that our weapons are very good at killing us and if they had access to even 1/4 of our arsenal it would be a very bad time.

>>712708920 (OP)
Alternatively.
>Time to go extract
>Arrive at extraction site
>Extraction terminal is glitched and it's just the blue beam there

>>712708920 (OP)
they nerfed the extraction spawns because swedes are gay

>>712710465
Even then it's not like any rebellious elements would be spared getting attacked by the other factions as well. Literally impossible to survive.

>>712710430
I don't think it would really work. Cyborgs were ideological separatists before. The people that protested against the bullshit aggressive attack on the Illuminate in HD1 got gulaged and executed. State suppression is too powerful to have actual dissidents.

>>712710165
Defectors/dissidents sounds good. Playing as the Helldiver inquisition sounds fun.

>>712710581
>State suppression is too powerful to have actual dissidents
Is that really true now that Super Earth is in ruins?

>>712710646
Those ruins weren't made by dissidents but by enemy forces.

>>712709806
Difficulty doesn't matter because I've had it happen on 7 too. I've heard it's related to a glitch with extractions that are near the edge of the map but idk if that's true

>>712710697
That's just what the ministry of truth wants you to think

>>712710697
He means that Super Earth is weakened right now because it got fucked by aliens recently.

>>712710646
Which had no material consequences at all since apparently we're still pushing the bugs just fine.
The only way to have the state apparatus crack would be a coup, or FTL communication simultaneously failing on the whole Federation, or revealing that the High Command got SQUIGGED secretly on SE or something.

>>712710556
There's evidence the bots and bugs have been fighting, you can sometimes see their corpses together.

>>712710165
I would rather see multi-faction infighting happen before that if devs can manage without exploding the game's engine

>>712710863
Same that sounds pretty fun.

>>712710742
Structurally but their ideological grasp on the population is as strong as ever, if not stronger. So I don't think notable rebellions would form.

>>712710773
I'm suprised that bugs haven't attacked illuminate yet especially since they were in such close proximity not that long ago.

Speaking of squids
>update text leaks show the next story MO would be about closing the wormhole
So Mr. Joel acknowledges that there's an entire Illuminate galaxy/sector on the other side that could bitchrape SE if they sent more than a probing attack, and the solution is to lock them away. Thanks Sweden.

>>712710773
I really do hope we get planets with a warfront between those factions. I am just not certain the engine can handle it.

>>712711006
God I just wanna fight bots

>>712710961
Illuminate have maxed the biology tech tree, they'd hard counter bugs, they're all meat after all.
Be thankful Arrowhead hasn't added Illuminate bioweapon bugs as units to pad out the squid faction

>>712711053
Then you're in luck because it'll involve blowing up the DSS. The Sw*des have realized the current DSS implementation sucks dick so they'll blow it up and make a new one.
Be ready to kill five trillion bots in the next MO to build DSS 2

>>712711092
Why would i be thankful of that. Illuminate need some new units even if it's just illuminate bugs. It's so boring to fight the squids i'd take anything at this point.

>music
Does anyone else think they should have multiple themes etc. I mean, don't get me wrong the deploy song and the extraction song are great, but that was a year ago - can we get some variety? Same with the opening cinematic - how about some updated ones going along with each major patch? Likewise with other media played from each super-destroyer.

There's other shit they need to do that's actually functional and content to add (including BRING BACK THE GODDAMN KILLZONE GEAR AGAIN IF WE MISSED IT) but they can get a lot of goodwill by A) not being shitty with monetization which they've done pretty well so far; though increased SC drops would be a nice B) making changes to music, media, and other things that enhance the story and environment.

Let me trade samples/medals for weapon XP damnit the lv 20+ grind is actual aids

is the supercredit farming nerfed? i remember about year ago you got decent amount SC in hour by just solo running 3-4level maps

>>712711015
I recall one of the devs saying they've had them fighting in sandboxes, but it is difficult to put into the game proper or something along those lines.

>>712711391
There's a new farm right now where the megacity maps have a park with like ~6 or so bunkers containing possible supercredits.

>>712711226
the music is boring as fuck, samey, dull and stagnant, put on proper music after 10 hours of playing

>>712708920 (OP)
yes its kinda nerfed or bugged sometimes if extraction zone its at the edge of the map

>>712711396
Not surprising, hundreds of bugs vs hundreds of bots with thousands of projectiles. Not sure what game engine even could handle all that.

>>712709109
and still you praise mitsubishi soulslop

>>712708920 (OP)
they really need to fix that and go overboard, in the first game, extraction was one of the hardest things ever because the game wouldnt stop spamming swarms and heavies, there was not a better feeling than thinking that its fucking over then the shuttle arrives and lands on top of a heavy and you barely managing to get in

>>712709369
Based

>>712711006
you want another galactic map when we barely conquest the first?

>>712711391
The only nerf so far is that you can't find a map with good SC spawns and keep running the same one again and again. They have acknowledged that running diff 1-3 for SC isn't the best way for it to be distributed, they're fine with people doing it, but it's not exactly fun or reward stuff.

>>712709297
The pelican doesn't fuck off if it gets damaged anymore? I only just came back to the game and I've been paranoid about that.

>>712711396
I would be fine with small squads from one faction coming off map to run into you or the other main faction, would spice things up a bit.

>>712709297
it should just blow up by the trolling drop a strat airstrike on the pelican

>>712711702
>but it's not exactly fun or reward stuff.
Fucking piece of shit swedes should think of something then, shouldn't they?

>>712711791
Yes, redditors complained

>>712711159
Squids desperately need more units but it should be higher tier, some Combine style elite enemies. Voteless are enough horde fodder, and they didn't even bother adding armored SEAF Voteless

>>712712179
They haven't given us half their roster from the first game. I really hope they aren't jut being lazy about this.

>>712712179
given the leaks well get classic illuminate or nope cause it think iron just managed to make them playable the cutcontent enemies

>>712712279
Maybe they aren't willing to throw pure squids into war anymore, because lore. Or they're just lazy.

>>712712279
Swedish devs being lazy? Unthinkable.

>>712712437
they re lazy newest enemy its the rat king of voteless but its more cancer than bug charger and has the healthpool of a bile titan even in lowest difficulty it spawns also popping heads and stun does nothing when it charges

>>712712279
That's being a bit disengeuous when Illuminates in 2 have new units compared to 1, although I would like to see the mind control guys come back in some way

>>712709109
>matter how good you become, you will die in the most ridiculous ways
Yeah it's a comedy game.
>most of the time you play isn't even in mission
The fuck are you on about?

>>712710698
That is true, yeah. Sometimes you'll get an infinite spawn in corners from patrols just walking in from out of bounds and then sometimes you'll get NOTHING because every patrol is on the opposite corner slowly walking to you.

>>712710742
>"I don't really think Super Earth has our best interests at heart"
>get chased down the street by a fleshmob and get saved by SEAF or a Helldiver
>"For the glory of Super Earth!"
It'd be even easier for offworld colonies. Show them that the Illuminate really were the bad guys and truly had WMD 100 years ago by showing them footage of voteless and fleshmobs running around on Super Earth. That universe is extremely horrific so people probably just wholly throw themselves into blind patriotism since the only other options are to die, die and turn/die.

>>712710165
nah another alien faction maybe notcovenant

>>712709423
This
When the first trailer hit, I immediately noticed the worse music production.
They pretty much perfected it for HD1. But it might not work for HD2's pacing.

>>712708920 (OP)
Yeah that really sucks. It's either that or you get steamrolled by waves and waves of enemies.

So from what I've seen, why are there so many glitches in HD2 gameplay? HD1 was a really polished product, barely any glitches other than driving vehicles onto cliffs to fly away.

>>712711006
It wont work and we'll still get the units, most likely.

>>712714090
The only glitch I ever really encounter anymore is the one where the game freezes when you quit. It's a lot better than it was at launch when climbing over a bile titan carcass would fling you into the air or fire didn't deal proper damage for anyone but the host

>>712712279
We've seen these recently but, just like the APC, who knows how far out this is or if it's even coming.

>>712714090
They aren't really egregious bugs, just fun jank because of the 3D environments, like getting stuck between corpses and geometry, but usually a dive fixes it. Or landing a hellpod on a building you aren't supposed to then having to kill yourself, or a Bile Titan's leg clipping on a hill when it dies and instakill and catapulting you into the stratosphere.
The actual game breaking bugs like being unable to reinforce, or strategems not working, are mostly fixed now

>>712714579
>They aren't really egregious bugs
The last update was literally unplayable.

>>712714627
The police warbond one? It fucked up by GPU drivers so hard the whole computer would blackscreen.

>>712713949
i like the anthem with lyrics thats all the helldive mission intro avenger music is so mid shit for me

>>712714678
No the one before where fast inputs would break stratagems. Though this update is broken as well, the new grenade launcher isn't doing the damage it's supposed to and some missions don't spawn enemies.

>>712714747
Man I've been playing since launch day and that input bug was easily the worst I've ever experienced in the game. The early months of random insta closing windows and crashing when locking on with the spear were bad, but something about being unable to input my strats efficiently legit made me wanna kill myself. Luckily they patched it quick but what is WITH the swedes using unruly engines?

>>712714925
>Luckily they patched it quick
It took them several DAYS. Meanwhile there was a bug that allowed you to spam stratagems, that was patched within hours.

How long until melee weapons are fixed

>>712714976
Remember when the Arc Launcher caused integer overflow and crashed the game?

>>712714976
That one actually was around for a couple days. People just tried to keep it on the down low so it wouldn't get patched as fast.

>>712708920 (OP)
>1 teammate proceeds to execute everyone else and then gets on the shuttle
or
>Host kicks the people who somehow slighted him and they are left with 0 rewards for their efforts

>>712715008
In what way?

>>712708920 (OP)
I remember a bit after release first time playing high diff mission with friends, enemy spawn were bugged resulting in 8 bile titans at the evac spot not counting chargers as well, no more reinforcement, last man standing, out of ammo, all samples on me, I was moving like Jack Sparrow in that scene waiting for extraction

still funniest shit that happened to me in this game

>>712715124
I've been that first guy before. And getting kicked just puts you in your own game so you don't really lose anything.

>>712708920 (OP)
>time an equipment, sentry, or vehicle stratagem so that it arrives as soon as the evac shuttle lands
>the shuttle lands on top of it and is sent flying or disappears underground
I just can't help but keep doing it

>>712709304
I thought it had to do with how spawning works outside of LoS and when you're near the map border if everyone looks around accidentally the game shits itself trying to find a place to place enemies at. Not it just breaking from being near the border.

I played for the first month and did like 70hrs just smashing the hardest difficulty. Then they changed the hardest difficulty and made it feel like dogshit. A really good player should be able to go off and quickly solo an objective even on the hardest difficulty but the first few patches fucked your movement and had terrible hit boxes. Played 2 hours of the new faction but they felt shit so cbf.

It's kinda like in l4d versus. A really good player was able to generally solo shit and it felt good to be rewarded. You could argue well it's a team game and sure but I didn't like the change of pace that I got used to. Like getting hit by 1 bug once sometimes then made it impossible to ever recover after that month 1 patch.

>>712708920 (OP)
On launch it would be intense but ever since a few updates past then, literally nothing spawns now

>>712708920 (OP)
This game hasn't been fun since normoids forced the devs to make it winnable every time. Super helldive is boring compared to launch helldive.

>>712715132
As far as I can tell, if you're not host and you have either a bad connection or bad performance, your weapon will get stuck in an upright position whenever you try to prep it or swing it and it won't attack until you stop trying to melee for a while.

>>712715124
Kicking players automatically makes them hosts of their own sessions instantly nowadays, so worst case scenario you get fucked because you were swarmed before the kick, otherwise you get to keep everything collected for yourself

>>712715274
Intentional or not, HD is one of the few games that offers chaotic fun. We used to have more of those I feel but the shit became utterly corporate.


>>712715489
God dammit. Hopefully they unfuck that before I can buy the ceremonial bond.

Whoops, looks like another paid public holiday under our superior Nordic social democracy model, it's the day we traditionally eat wild berries, tree bark and reindeer meatballs.
An intern from Sony will be randomly adjusting MO liberation rates by throwing darts on a wall then post on discord. Bye!

>>712715553
I'm not even sure if they're paying attention to it since I haven't been able to consistently reproduce it unless I'm in a city map or getting swamped. I have had to stop using melee weapons for now though, the bug's gotten me killed

>>712715124
Or my personal favourite

What? You wanted me to bail and die as well? You couldn't wait for a minute, maybe two? Just until I clear the clusterfuck around me and then drop a beacon?

What makes it worse is it keeps happening more often recently, are other players attention spans that fucked that they'd rather we BOTH die than be left out the game for a single fucking minute? Or do they not care about the fact we'd both end up roadkill?

there is no better feeling than waving the One True Flag as the pelican lands and then after the rest of the crew hops on you plant it in the ground and dive on board leaving it as a sign of your victory

>>712715434
True. I still remember launch bots. Fighting them on D9 was so much fun before they got nerfed into oblivion.

>>712716158
I always cringe whenever i see some redditor waving that waste of a stratagem slot around.

>>712716529
my flag gets more kills than your 500kg bombs

They made this game way too easy.
Was watching some guy and a team do superhelldive, walking around the map with mechs, never dying once, and then the comments and the commentator were complaining how long mech cooldowns were.
This game ended up pandering to the worst people and the balance is now worse off for it, really sad because this game used to feel exhilarating.
Now it feels like theres long stretches where absolutely nothing is happening.

>>712717453
mech cooldown its retarded if you got limited uses

>>712711495
>>712712669
>>712718773

Bro, learn the difference between is and its, reading you is actually painful.

>>712711154
Given how they fuck around with their MO's, how often more bugs will crop up in said implementation, and how many bugs are STILL in this fucking game given its age on top of the already lackluster influx of new divers who regularly suck ass, I'm losing steam on actually continuing playing this fucking game.

And this is coming from someone who has played since before Malevelon Creek, continued to play it through Tien Kwan, installed the bugspray towers on Meridia, watched the Gloom spread, fought for the sick kids on Vernen Wells and gave AH the fucking middle finger on tank mines, turned Meridia into a black hole, and then throughout the rest of the campaigns up to and including the fight for SE, and have been continuing on so far begrudgingly.

The 'narrative' bullshit they're practically forcing their players through (with the exception of Super Earths defense) is like some tweeniebopper's first DND session who is railroading their players like petulant DMs saying "Do this or Im taking my board and going home"

The only two times we as helldivers have had any actual agency in the entire game so far have been on the Creek (where Joel damn near forced us to lose twice) and us saying "fuck off Arrowhead we don't fucking want more mines", to which they were forced upon us anyway for even more shitbag divers to pick up and waste good stratagem slots.

>>712711226
Everything else you've said is a fair and valid observation, but the new bug cities we've been given so far have had massive increases in SC drops with the HUGE upswing in bunker populations within said cities.

Go fucking play with a friend and search them and I can practically guarantee you +150SC per dive, and +500SC if you get lucky

>>712711518
Planetside 2 does this on one continent +250sqKm with 1000 players per faction, with 3 factions fighting. Its well within tolerances to do.

Being able to do it well, that's another story

>>712714678
That's a known bug? Thank fuck, I thought something was wrong with my PC.

I use that time to get up and refill my water, or take a piss. Given how the average mission is 20-30 minutes and you’re chugging soda every time you die, it’s wanted.

it depends on how the map is generated, sometimes you get a million bugs on your ass while extracting and other times nothing

>>712725539
I've been saying this for ages. Why create like a thousand different planets but only rotate between like 6 biomes.

>>712710165
Federation of different aliens

>>712725682

>>712725809
Illuminate already fulfill the role of the alien faction.

Dissidents, but they only appear on Bot/Squid planets in a poor attempt to make peace or on Bug planets to dismantle e710 equipment. If there's any broadcast towers they'll always spawn there.

>>712726163
Would be good foreshadowing for the traitor faction if it ever comes to that.

>>712725682
I imagine creating different biomes is a lot more intensive than you might think. All shitposting aside AH has done really well overall despite some stupidity here and there.

>>712708920 (OP)
Yeah, it used to be a lot more intense, but people kept crying about the difficulty so AH neutered the game a bit.

I miss bugged/overtuned difficulty with 6+ bile titans at once

I just really don't like how enemy patrols get course corrected onto you.

>>712726621
To be fair, a lot of the extra difficulty came from the great nerf that happened around the same time as the PSN fiasco

>>712726621
>>712726693
I don't miss it. If things kept going the way they were at the start of HD2 then we'd all be slaves to meta loadouts to complete any higher difficulty missions. Now most weapons and stratagems are viable in some manner or another so players are encouraged to experiment and can make more interesting choices on how to tackle missions.

>>712726572
I don't give a shit. Considering what games cost these days having high expectations should be expected. I don't care about the devs whining because they have to work a little harder. They get paid for that.

The stingray engine is a major shitshow holding the game back. Also it's abit easy at D10, I would like if you were made to stick together more and had more heavy enemies that posed major threats like striders.
that being said, the gunplay is some the best for a good mix of game-y and realism and it's just fun dropping bombs on stuff

>>712726923
You could just lower the difficulty. Super Helldive feels easier than level 7 on launch

>>712726923
You didn't have to be a meta slave to play through D9/10 back then.

I play duo with my bro at level 8. Hard enough to be satisfying yet not too hard to make loadout choice be super strict.

No randoms fucking everything up.

I only play diff 10
I usually dont die once
But when I die I lose interest and sometimes quit because I feel like "I" died
Autism is a hell of a drug

only armor I wear is democracy protects for this reason
Also anyone else notice how this game runs worse every patch?
On release I played with every setting on Ultra and SuperSampling and now im down to native res and sometimes still notice framedrops
Really annoying

>>712709193
Game needs other exits like an entry to a base who close slowly or go to a bridge.

>>712726986
>Considering what games cost these days
Helldivers 2 is $40

>>712726986
Helldivers 2 costs less than most games these days so your argument is invalid.

>>712727297
The game isnt actually thart hard on the bot front atleast
Bring:
Eagle strafing run
PAK cannon
Recoilles
and either AC turret or bombing run
Liberator Penetrator primary and Ultimatum secondary

>>712710165
The Illuminates are still barebones, directionless and boring as fuck to fight. How about finishing one faction first?

I dont like how recoilles is mandatory on the bot front
Only thing that can reliably kill everything and has enough spare ammo to do it over and over
Also oneshots striders
I love Autocannon but there is no reason to ever use it over recoilles
Literally since launch, only true GOAT
Hulks, tanks, striders, gunships
boom all problem gone

>>712727596
For duos at level 8 I would rank enemy factions in terms of difficulty from easiest to hardest:
>bots
>illuminate
>bugs
>incendiary brigade bots
>predator strain bugs

Haven't fought that gloom bug strain enough to rank.

*factory striders not the weakass rocket striders

>>712727743

Faster firing speeds and more ammo and better chaff clear. Autocannon is the Jack-of-all-trades support weapon.

its funny because bugs used to be so easy I got bored and switched to bots and now they are so frustrating I just stay on bots

EDF can handle it on a 15 year old playstation tier engine.

>>712727743
You can just take orbitals or eagles that can handle your anti tank needs while you use the autocannon for everything else. And recoiless is not the only anti tank support weapon, you have other options.

LOOK AT THIS FUCKIN LOSER, CANT EVEN TAKE DOWN A STRIDER WITHOUT "muh recoilless". How shit must you be to not hit the eye from range? Hell, hitting the toes, even with the recent HP buff will take less than a mag, maybe a mag and a half if you can't aim worth a dick. Lets not even get into hitting it's underbelly because I doubt you'd be able to get that close to one without shitting your pants and dying.

Jesus fuckin christ, uninstall and rid the rest of the community with your shitty self.

>>712728003
So what? We talked about the possibility of computing hundreds of enemies and thousands of bullets not graphics. That is two distinct differences that have nothing to do with each other.

You now remember that RR used to one shot striders by hitting them in the fucking toe, and when AH fixed at you seethed.

I started playing this game with the defence of super earth (played helldivers 1 but couldn't justify the price tag on 2 until a decent special). Damn I wish I bought this game sooner it's so fucken fun. Already up to skull admiral and just absolutely purging the bugs. It was nice leaving super earth after the defence was finished and finding the other factions are like 10x easier. Went from mediums to super helldives very quick.

When the illuminate remnants were found it was great to go back and purge them with some good unlocks.

>>712730185
Super Earth entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Ribatishiti, Ultima, Squ'bai, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation.
They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

sorry chud, you could before but we patched it out quickly because we don't want people having fun
the fire damage bug? oh yeah that'll take 3 more months to fix

Trailers show some scavenger bots running away when Helldivers arrive, so neither bugs nor bots are retarded. Even if the bugs aren't sentient, there's animal instinct.
Their AI SHOULD run away or have a fear state under certain scenarios. The flamethrower is fucking useless because a stream of burning napalm somehow doesn't scare off bugs at all, they keep running through it to burn you then die.
If you're on a mech, smaller shitbugs should be scurrying away from you, maybe try to run to bigger bugs and call for help, not ineffectively swarm and try to scratch your paint.

>>712708920 (OP)
Here is a comprehensive guide for why nothing spawns:
Too close to edge of map? (About 100m) Enemies will not spawn within that range, if no outposts are left, that's the only area they can spawn at.
Near water? Enemies cannot spawn there.
The game will always have a countdown running for spawning a patrol but starting an extract speed up the timer about sixfold. Which man's the game almost always will be spawning enemies walking towards you but if outposts don't exist they may always attempt to spawn them within the area they are forbidden to spawn.

>>712732436
It's actually pretty retarded that the bugs aren't afraid of fire. With all these flame based weapons and grenades you'd think fire would be the one thing that properly counters bugs but thry don't give a shit.

>>712731815
Ja kek

>>712732436
Flamethrowers do a lot of damage to tanky enemies and flame throwers should always be prefired before the bugs get in range of it, using the flamethrower for anything TOO close is always a bad idea.
Also bugs should not feel fear because bugs are robotic suicidal creatures, ever seen how bees kill wasps? The only ones that do are the bigger ones like commanders and stalkers because they are valuable and stealthy.

>>712732436
Super Earth owes me a complimentary squ'ith girlfriend.

>>712732998
>not feel fear
Bullshit they're still retarded animals and the heat of burning napalm should trigger their self preservation stimuli. All animals are afraid of fire.

There's too much stuff paywalled and I don't care for the DDR mechanic on using abilities.

Should the existing voteless heavy Squid roster actually be a subfaction of the Illuminates with some of the original squid units returning in a separate faction? Also the subfactions are currently defined by like 1 or 2 different units that force you to change approach. Spore bugs and Jeet brigade are pretty much nothing.

>>712735074
they are overhauling how to earn the premium currency to make it easier

>>712735074
Nothing is paywalled but unironically. I have unlocked all warbonds after 100 hours and I'm hard throttled by medals, not Super Credits.

>>712735434
That's nice but that's far too long.

>the spawns on those civilian extraction missions
I miss when the game was giving us shit like that. Now whenever they add something new it doesn't feel difficult at all. The playerbase for this game is probably the whiniest playerbase I've seen in a game, and the devs bend over every time.

>>712735765
You need to stop thinking about wanting to unlock everything

>>712710165
How about a generic war mongering race of aliens that are earnestly trying to conquer super earth from the get go, but the narrative portrays them as allies and all our conflict is just "training exercises".
The misunderstanding comes around because they also tried to fuck with the other major factions.

>>712735765
There are other ways.
The anticheat doesn't fucking work, just find a Chinese cheater and he'll drop thousands of currency for free. Or buy the cheat for five bucks and you have infinite money.

>>712736040
That's kind of difficult when my friends are running around with full kits blasting the shit out of everything while I have some basic bitch loadout that isn't even fun to play.

I want to experiment with builds instead of grinding for 100 hours until I can start having fun.

>>712736220
>grinding for 100 hours
That was regular gameplay, not griding.
Arrowhead completely fucked up the economy and are scared of changing it because of the review bombing from the PSN incident. In the new map you can farm 1000+ credits in an hour because of bunkers

>>712736220
It's just a typical progression system with an option to bypass it with money. Find the stuff you want from specific warbonds and go after those.

>>712736317
>In the new map you can farm 1000+ credits in an hour because of bunkers

>>712736220

pffrt, at least 50% of the DLCs are dogshit, theres only a few specific weapons and items that are good

>>712736462
There are no megacity maps in rotation right now so you'll have to wait, but the strategy is to drop on parks, you can see them in the map because they're green, they'll have 4-6 bunkers in them. Get the mod that shows which bunkers have SC, go in with a friend, open bunkers, get your 50SC, disconnect after 20 seconds, repeat.

>>712736571
>>712736330

>>712709270
The game literally gets worse at the highest difficulties. It's not even really all that much more difficult. They just spam patrol spawns walking in your exact direction 24/7. It's cancer. There's no real strategy anymore and you get funneled down a narrower and narrower path as you raise the difficulty. They don't even bother trying to hide patrol spawns that high. You regularly watch them blink into existence already walking directly towards you. Sucks out all fun

>>712736989
Also a note on Steeled Veterans, it's granted automatically if you buy that shitty scam Super Citizen upgrade, that gives you some useless shit for the Swedes to take more vacations for 20 euros. Except if you have already unlocked the warbond and buy the upgrade later, it won't refund you the SC sometimes and you'll have to fight support. Don't buy that scam.

>>712708920 (OP)
That happens when you've already cleared all the nests and the extraction is near the edge of the map so patrols can't spawn in nearby.

I mean, they have. Otherwise players are going to leave the game, give negative reviews, newer players will be hesitant to play it... Its a cascading effect. Blame the exorbitant budgets instead.

>>712728558
Different components you retard. Simulation is a CPU and engine problem. Mesh particles and glowy shaders are a GPU issue.

>>712742131
They should make a stealth themed warbond.
Add shit like experimental stealth suit that makes you borderline invisible when you're staying still while crouched/prone.
Also silenced weapons that lets you kill enemies without giving your position away but still alerts them that they're under attack and puts them on alert.
Maybe a compound bow with backpack required for reloading. The only TRUE stealth weapon.

I want a mod that has this play in the event of a no-enemy extraction.

I hope updates bring more variation. Games like deep rock galactic are repayable to me because of the high variation

I like convincing the whole team to go mine stratagems exclusively (actually OP) or full 380/120mm barrage with one scout car to drive by stratagem drop

What caused the vitriol around this game? Seems like a really solid coop dad game with a very tight and limited experience.

>>712744773
Explosive Crossbow already has that ya fuckin retard.
Get the Scout armor which reduces visibility by 30%, the crossbow, and gas grenades, and you will never have to deal with a bug breach unless its a guaranteed thing like with flag raising, seismic surveys, or nuking nurseries.

>>712748447
The beginning of the game was pretty damn tight and responsive on top of being a huge breath of fresh air on the PVE 4-player coop scene. This led to an explosion in player population which Arrowhead was 1000% not ready for (they expected around 25k players at any given time, seeing as HD1 was just a mild success). This led to WEEKS of players being unable to play the game, the servers shitting themselves, and bugs out the ass since everyone and their mothers were playing on wildly different rigs ON TOP OF the cross-platform play. So they had to fix PS bugs first, then deal with PC bugs, and while doing so made even more bugs than before.

But the game itself was still so enjoyable and fun that most players just brushed these off as 'growing pains', as they should have.

Then Arrowhead got a stick up their asses and thought it'd be HILARIOUS to buff the shit out of enemies, nerf the hell out of Helldiver weapons and stratagems, and this pissed nearly everyone off. Players would either scream "You're making this P2W!" or "Meta builds suck! Make things actually viable!". So they did.

Then the sweaty divers came out of the woodwork when the most powerful of stuff got nerfed into the ground, and nearly everything that wasn't "meta" was buffed, pissing them off.

Then when they found a decent middleground, they shat all over everything again with the introduction of squids.

Back and forth, back and forth, blahblahblah.

They've been yo-yoing between making things work, breaking them, buffing them back up, and then breaking them again.

That's only the tip of the iceberg though.

>>712708920 (OP)
I'm sure someone's mentioned it ITT but Arrowhead fucked up spawning and never went back to fix it.

There were a lot of complaints about patrols spawning out of thin air directly on top of players.
This is because Arrowhead, for some reason, never planned on players ever splitting up. The game merely dropped new spawns 100m out from a player without checking to see if that space was occupied by another player or not.

The band-aid solution was to give all players an a spawn nullifying bubble of 100m. Then, they changed the spawn system so that when extract is available, enemies only spawn in the direction of the closest base to extract. If there's no bases left, they spawn at least 100 meters out in the direction of the closest map border to extract.

HOWEVER, nearly every single mission will randomly generate the extraction zone at a map border, causing the anti-spawn bubble to just completely prevent spawns as soon as the players arrive.

So what's the obvious solution?
JUST MAKE EXTRACT FOLLOW THE SAME ENEMY SPAWNING LOGIC AS FLAG MISSIONS FOR FUCK'S SAKE

>>712746928
And now the game isn't remotely challenging and we have 10 difficulties for no reason.

The game could use more sandbox stuff to fool around with on top of fixing patrols.

SWEET LIBERTY MY ARM

>>712749886
every extract should be the center of a map anyway

>>712749381

>>712746928
>game caters to nolife tryhards
It didn't cater to nolife tryhards. Stop with this ridiculous history revisionism. The difficulty is why everyone memes nostalgic about Malevelon Creek and wants it to come back.
The game has 10 fucking difficulty levels for you to choose from. The "LE SWEATY CATERING" screeching from retards like yourself is unironically a case of shitters not wanting to stay in their lane. Like I wouldn't play an MMO, refuse to learn how to do hard mode raid content, then complain I didn't have the achievements for not completing the hard mode raids because they're too hard. For some reason HD2 attracts this ridiculous type of person who wants the difficulty level(s) advertised as extremely difficult to be accessible for everyone.

The game was cratering in population because the devs kept nerfing the only viable equipment options while showcasing on their dev streams that they didn't even know how their own game worked. They thought the railgun was overpowered because it could "one shot bile titans" even though that was caused by a bug with console players. They didn't fix sniper rifle scopes for half a year.

>>712748760
>explosive crossbow
>EXPLOSIVE crossbow
Last I checked explosions aren't exactly quiet.

>>712748447
The game has a major identity crisis. The playerbase doesn't know if it wants to be power fantasy or a survival horror movie.

You'll see the playerbase make memes about le epic hardass Vietnam Malevelon Creek stories and then the next day they'll cry about getting ragdolled by missiles or infinitely spawning patrols.

>>712751048
All enemies get attracted to the EXPLOSION not the FIRING of said crossbow.

This means the enemies look at where the explosion happened, not where the crossbow was fired from, and if you weren't pants-on-head retarded about it, snuck up on a group of enemies that weren't looking in your general direction, fired from a distance, and immediately ducked behind cover before anyone had a chance to see you. Guess what?

No bug breaches. No bot flares. No Observers calling in the fleet.

Which you would know if, again, you weren't a fucking retard. But seeing as this needs to be explained to you, of course you would be.

Jesus fuck, it's all randomly generated. There is no 'best city'. You just use your eyes, find bunkers near parks, and loot the hell out of them.

Whatever city has parks, at difficulty 3 to get larger maps. Doesn't matter.

What's the longest a single one of your helldivers has survived?

>>712742587
NTA but refunded during the PSN fiasco. FUCK supporting these retard devs

>>712758858
Like 4 or 5 operations.

>>712758858
I would have to say an entire mission, but that would be "technically" be wrong.

Since Super Helldive was released, me and a core group of my friends who have played together have just as often as not survived an entire mission together, but the truly rare ones are when all of us survived the entire mission.

Ever since we have gotten that decent at the game, if we ever have a mission where extract is at the edge of a map and waiting for the pelican becomes a bore, we generally just TK each other in increasingly goofy ways or test test out shit we've never really had the time to just mess with. We were by no means the first to figure out that placing something on top of an unfolding AT Emplacement will get it launched a quarter of the map away, but that's how we found out that it could be done before we saw videos springing up about that exact thing happening.

If we didn't have our little 'deathmatches' at the end of a particularly boring extract, I dare say that we could go and survive for two missions, or possibly an entire operation given that luck were on our side.

But like I said, those kinds of missions happen as often as they fail, so I can only guess as to how far we could go. But through an entire mission where none of us die? It's practically been done before many times if you don't count us shooting each other for a cheap laugh.

>>712758858
Probably like 5-6 missions but I've started to just throw myself into shit if I get tired of situations being stagnant. Hellbomb backpack really comes in handy for worthwhile sacrificing

HD2 music feel so empty and flat, the bug theme is especially bad. Bots is o but I get tired of it really quickly. Illuminates I feel is the only good one, but with the current unit it's not too fitting, new units have been leaked so I wonder how it'll be now.

>>712756446
My guy you're the faggot who came charging in like "ERRMMM ACTUALLY" trying so hard to be CORRECT about literally nothing like some kind of deranged Redditor, when the thing I asked for was a literal TRUE stealth weapon.
No gunfire or explosions.
The quick melee is a true stealth attack in that you can do it to kill something, and at no point will it interrupt or draw the attention of any AI through sound.
Crossbow will because it EXPLODES. The EXPLOSION creates SOUND that causes enemies to go and patrol to that location.

Get the stick out of your ass and try to spend 5 minutes not having a meltdown you actually autistic fucking retarded.

>>712760242
Not him but lasers are stealth weapons. They dont alert anything when fired.

>>712760242
The fuck does the differentiation between weapons which you say are "TRUE" stealth, and weapons that are stealthy have anything to do with each other when the end result is the same? Just don't be a fucking mouth-breathing retard and you're set.

Or is your 'tism getting the best of you?

lives are a resource that need to be spent

>>712761071
True stealth:
>shoot enemy from range
>they die
>nothing else knows about it unless it diretly sees the thing dying

Your retarded ass pedantic UMMM ACTUALLY stealth:
>shoot enemy from range
>they die
>because of an explosion, everything else around it is now alerted that something just happened

The similarities are that neither directly give away your position, but the differences are that one alerts enemies shit is happening while the other doesn't.
But you're so much of a retarded faggot to understand that.

>>712761080
Agreed. I used to care but when I realized they had an entire warbond meant for sacrificing yourself, I started to think like an actual Super Earth citizen and look for meaningful opportunities to kill myself

>>712715653
>getting stratagem jammed
>poobrain diver that ran into the jammer camp alone and got his shit rearranged by bots starts slamming reinforce
>leaves when no one reinforces when they genuinely couldn't even if they really wanted to

I want to love this game, but I just can't, it's just missing something
The wrapping is fantastic, the humor's great, the foundation of the gameplay is pretty good (physics could use some updating tho, the way enemies interact with the environment and especially buildings/broken buildings is fucking painful, seeing the floating bozos or the zombies go up and down at 40g depending on how low the ground is under their feet while you're trying to shoot them is frustrating to say the least)

Or maybe I just got spoiled with EDF, I just wish movement was faster (or at least, you had the potential to go faster), the jetpack is too weak, half the weapons in the game feel pretty much pointless because of how underwhelming they are, why the fuck is the pump action so fucking weak? why does it feel like the basic pistol outperforms it? (and because it actually fucking does)
Also melee weapons are too underwhelming, on one hand I understand that they were added as a meme, but why not make them worthwhile? They're already so risky to use, but they're not worth using against anything than the most basic of fodder (but for those, the butt of your gun is doing just fine so why 'waste' a secondary slot on it)

Give me more sci fi shit, give me intergalactic civilization-level swords, give me a way to airdrop specific gear/weapons to be able to switch my gear when on the ground too, it's painful starting a map not realizing nobody else is going to bring in any explosives and having to deal with 5 titans in a row

It kinds of feel like playing an early access game, from a design perspective (because the budget was clearly there), also they should FIX THEIR FUCKING SERVERS, worse yet, fucking drop the retarded 10minute stat screens, the 5minute animations, why not allow us to get to the next mission directly without having to go back to the destroyer?
Why not keeping us in the game when someone loses connection, and reconnect five seconds later, instead of being sent back too, holy ff

>>712767087
Honestly, it would be nice to get more contextual voice lines with stuff like this so people who have 2 digit IQ and arent paying attention might actually know whats happening
>throw jammed stratagem
>"Im being jammed!"
>find a bunker
>"Ive spotted a bunker"
and we still need a "cheer" emote or "insult", they mentioned something about that a long time ago and nothing came of it. Also something to do with more music aswell, I cant even listen to the soundtrack anymore, it needs more tracks.

I wish missions were just a one and done and not 3 in a row cause when I queue for randos i just wanna get in get out, not mingle and compared deaths on their ship

Is HD1 worth checking out?

>>712770176
What about the opposite, a black ops division of super earth you start out doing objectives for, say you'll randomly get objective shifts so instead of standard SSSD delivery you gave to take it to a location that a pelican will land at, black ops troops grab the SSSD from you and leave. After a few MOs telling you what a good job you're doing helping these guys suddenly they attempt a coup and they're now on the shitlist. Titans this shit up.

>>712769180
I'm more surprised people aren't playing Pred bugs on D10, they constantly spawn behind you during engagements, came into a mission with zero reinforcements and got fucked because of the constant patrols just spawning to your left and right just trying to get to objectives, or so many sub-objectives now spawning surrounded by thigh/waist high water so you're completely fucked if it's the larvae baby.

playing this game with randoms is so fucking aids

>>712733118
genuinely the most embarrassing and retarded thing I have seen in a long time. what a fucking gay loser.

>>712770176
I wouldnt have rebels as a full blown faction, I would put them on existing faction planets as objectives. Like theyre trying to hold peace rallies and shit but still get targetted by the enemies despite this, proving how retarded they are.
>they try to do save the animals shit with the bugs and have let them loose
>they get attacked by the bugs themselves
That could be funny.

>>712710165
BLOB

Its giant blobs, like oil or slime, if it pools together it gets bigger, and can be broken down by shooting/burning it, it also can harden in places so heavy armor pen is still necessary

They should let you play with bot helldivers. I don't want to play with other people.

I just hate this idea of MUH REBELLION some people insist in making it.

>>712769287
The Punisher is kinda shit compared to the other shotguns. Usable, but not good. The main thing it has going for it over the automatics is a tighter spread, but the Slugger does that job better while being able to deal with armor.

The de-escalator get nerfed yet?

We need more focus on chain swords, laser swords, and a whole melee rework to let players play melee only

It has amazing stagger, making it one of the best "stand-your-ground" guns in the game. I get that most players are used to frantically running away while they shoot, but you should brush up on your Brasch Tactics

>>712772550
>do they give you SC for completing operations yet
hahahahahaHAHAHAHAHahahah
get grindin fucko

>>712749903
Game gets pretty hard on super helldive when you get paired up retarded teammates

>>712749381
Most important tidbit to remember is the devs admitting they didn't actually test the game at the highest difficulty. They had no idea why people were running railguns over the pitifully weak (at the time) anti-tank weapons and inconsistent-damage strategems.

Does anyone know how the megacities work? Are they only available at certain liberation levels per planet, and do bots have them?
I want to try bot city but I feel bad dodging the major order

>>712710165
Singular macroorganism that eats planets and covers them in pieces of itself to feed. Crystal-entity-like.

>>712776963
The only weak AT weapon at that time was the Spear because of the broken lock-on.

>>712779534
Eh, Bile Titans have broken head hitboxes, especially since hitting them in the mouth was supposed to allow you to do full damage didn't work because of the animation.

>>712779534
Yeah the single shot weapon not being able to kill a charger was strong, so you had to use 2 and another charger or bile would spawn before you got it back, that was great balance

>>712715653
god, why haven't those retards added the stratagem launcher module from the HD1 mechas back yet?

>>712779824
I remember shooting them in the leg and then they fell over in a couple of shots. Assisted reload was able to deal with multiple chargers. The bile titans did have shitty head hit boxes though.

>>712778095
Some planets will have them, and losing a megacity will contribute massively towards losing a planet, whereas saving one will contribute massively towards liberating it or something. I think just losing them means you jump automatically forward as to whatever the big line has blips at.
Bot cities aren't out yet, bugs are the new one right now.
>>712772550
Soon, they're planning on adding them to personal/major orders since they've realized that as players have levelled up they've stopped going out of their way for drops which just fucks over new players.
>>712767571
The Punisher is still an amazing weapon, it's always been extremely good since release because stagger is and never will be a joke. One pellet is enough to stagger devastators/big bugs, and the stagger time means you can keep up to 3 stunlocked as you chunk them down or hit them in the head. The choke makes this more efficient, as well. Chokeless, still fucking amazing because the spread allows you to hit and stun more shit. You should be thankful a game gave you a useful sidearm for once, as well, because the vanilla secondary deserves a spot in the hall of fame.
>>712772090
I haven't used the slugger in a long while but I'll still disagree because buckshot is more fun and hits more enemies, you just keep shooting until the weakpoint explodes
shotguns are for punishing enemies with stun and stagger and shoving them back and using slugs removes your crowd control

EAT-17, my beloved

>>712782179
The activation animation freaks out sometimes for me and makes it hard to tell when you can actually fire the damn thing if you dared to hit aim before it's "ready."

>staggering
>when you can just slaughter them all more effectively and more efficiently, standing your ground against ten times as many enemies because it can't stagger anything that an AR can, just as effectively
you're clearly lacking experience with the game, or maybe you're stuck playing on challenging or something

Tranny. get ye gone.

>>712726923

Your PC is meh but also this game is notorious for running bad. I just recently upgraded to a 9800X3D about a month ago and for the first time the game was running pretty well for me, now after this most recent patch I'm getting around 50 fps. The ingame performance overlay says I'm getting a stable 144fps but it's obviously below 60.

I wish the DSS strike was just another stratagem you could call down within a window. I mean it does make it feel like you're in an active warzone. But the amount of times I've been killed by it just because enemies were near me is idiotic. At least give us a free reinforcement if the thing kills us so it doesn't feel so cheap

>>712784641
If the interact prompt is gone, your corpse might be interfering with it, same thing happens with other screens or interactables. You gotta clear the debris away.

>>712784887
I actually like the Orbital bombardment from before, they literally just needed to show a kind of AOE warning system telling you where it was going to be shooting its next volley as the problem with the old version is there are literally no buildings or overhanging ledges you could hide under to protect yourself from the bombardment.

>>712784976
This, throw a grenade at it or melee it. Same shit has happened to me in missions with a terminal that is no longer interactive. Blast it and it works

>Ummm actually the old balance was better guy.
>Ummm actually the first game was better guy.
>Ummm actually the music sucks guy.

You four should just go play Helldivers 2 together

>>712767087
it still amazes me that people haven't figured out that they can't be reinforced when you're fucking JAMMED

>>712784728
never happening, this is just hackers messing with files

>>712785914
I think part of the problem is when you're spectating, even if it's on someone who is inside the jammer's range, it won't have the stratagem block with static, so if you're just being an impatient dick and not paying attention you don't realize they're in a situation where they can't call in more reinforcements. Which reminds me of the time I was doing a Blitz and had 2 stratagem jammers right next to 2 fucking gunship fabs. Now that's pain in the ass to deal with.

>>712784086
Balance blindness is a real vidya phenomena. HD2 is balanced top to bottom, gamers are not used to this and perceive even tiny 1% difference in effectiveness as huge variations in power levels. They think the difference between the Eruptor and Con. Lib. is giant when in reality its minuscule.

Sometimes you get overwhelmed and you can't just kill them, you need some breathing room. That's what they're for. One person on the team with them can lock down a whole bunch of enemies and allow the rest of the team to pick them off in a situation where everyone might have been swarmed. Watching a whole pack of those flying Illuminate overseers hang there in the air from electricity bouncing between them in hilarious. Makes them easy to pick off. Watching a whole mass of bugs stop in their tracks when an emp mortar hits them while your buddy waits for his emplacement to come off cooldown can make the difference

I get into Arguments with my usual friend group about the RR. They say the Quasar Cannon is better but only because you don't need ammo. I swear it has less damage than the RR.

>>712793170
Still better than the crossbow

>>712793251
Quasar feels finicky, like it deflects and doesn't do full damage or its not as accurate because of the charge up. The RR just fucks straight out. Giving up your backslot for ammo simply irks some people

>>712736103
What difficulty and fronts do I play to find upstanding citizens of the glorious People's Republic of China?

>>712793251
It does, quasar is worse in every way
RR is better but only if everything is going smoothly
also backpacks

kek

am I the only person who likes the Spear?

>>712710165
4th faction should be the Sony representative faction. Have one event be apes from ape escape, have another event be the mishima zaibatsu, and have one event be cars from GT

>>712793425
Yeah

>>712793338
Either D1 or D10 bugs, if you see a lobby with Chinese names that says they've been online for 310 days, it's cheaters. But maybe not the SC dropping type

>>712793441
>their equivalent of the stalkers is big boss with an actually fitting camo pattern

>>712793425
I normally only use it only on Bot Maps but then they gave us the Anti Tank Turret so I use it less. Wish it did the up and over like the Javelin but, can't have it all.

>>712793425
Its fun for those flying illuminate sniper whales. A few shots and they go down without having to aim at specific points. Its nice on heavies in a encampments too, if you can get some height spot them

>>712793425
It was so bad for so long that everyone just got good at aiming and leading with unguided rockets that there's no point anymore

>>712793116
*incidentally breaks your projectile coding for the 84th time*
hehe sorry that'll be another 9 months of shrapnel teleporting directly into your skull from 30 meters away sorry

>>712793198
based. MG and HMG both shine against the Illuminati

Can the spear bust factory striders?

>>712793725
I'd say no. I've gone through a whole pack of shots and it's still up. You can still be clutch in a team by one shot-ing the back cannon that halves the danger of those things but plan on more firepower from RR, Orbitals, Eagle 1 or the Anti Tank Turret to bring em down, Especially if you fight a convoy. Then if you're a madman in light armor you can run at em with the Hellbomb backpack.

>"lol extraction is so boring"

>play on low difficulties
>no enemies
>boring as fuck
>play on high difficulties
>can literally only use 1 or 2 weapons because armor is a shitty mechanic and get constantly oneshot by rockets across the map
this game is ass, remove the armor mechanic so I can actually use weapons i want to use.

>>712794249
force yourself to use light pen weapons until you realize you're a retarded whiny bitch and all you had to do was shoot the glowie red parts

>>712794347
>just shoot this guy with the diligence in the head when his mouth is open, it'll work trust me bro and if it doesn't it's probably a bug

>>712794249
You use the right tool for the job. The enemies specifically up armor themselves to counter what you want to use. You want to crack a tank, you bring a tankbuster. Complaining you can't use your magic girl sparkle beam is just stupid

>>712794569
nah fuck you the one true flag should oneshot harvesters and leviathans

>>712794551

good morning saar

There is a ready-up theme, yes.

>easier to earn
At a rate they choose, which is likely going to be dripfeed levels, and killing farming runs (either by forcing a full mission clear to receive the currency to make it tedious to do and/or strict daily/weekly limits on in mission sc gains)

Just got my SICK ASS d10 tattoo bros. It's super-extra-sick-nasty. In case some of you don't know it's a "difficulty 10" tattoo to show my dedication to ONLY playing on that difficulty. Which is where the game actually kinda starts to be SLIGHTLY challenging for someone like me. If you are having any sort of doubts or feeling any criticism towards the game, just remember playing on d10 LITERALLY fixes everything.

Thats all for now, gonna go make some sweet HD2 tiktok videos!

P.S. should I start using a tripcode so you guys know who you are speaking to?

>>712708920 (OP)
it's free real teamkilleastate

>>712709270
the liberation contribution increase is marginal

>>712709294
you can exit as soon as the pelican takes off. i also rarely see the beginning brief and launch either, thanks to quickplay.

>>712794931
This. Right at 2:15 is what starts playing when everyone gets in the hellpods to pick landing sites and stratagems

>>712736004
The spawns on the early extraction missions were making defence campaigns outright impossible. Do you have any idea how many planets we lost because of that shit?

>>712708920 (OP)
Wait until you have 1 gorillion enemies nigger
I prefer chill extractions

>>712709109
I hate the ragdoll mechanic but the redpill is to just eat those deaths
Nothing you can do about it
You are nobody so git gut faggot or stfu

>>712795856
kek I've seen more casualties from buddies trying to "help" during extraction than from the actual bugs—especially when someone throws a Hellbomb at the shuttle for fun or drops a RECOILLESS into the AO like it's bowling night. Extraction turning into a teamkill fiesta is just a Helldiver tradition at this point.

>>712792257
Not relevant to what I said retardbro. Still not getting catered to.

Well, lads, it was a good thread for once.
Stay strong for democracy
