>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?
HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 crossplay, co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC, PS5 and XBox Series X/S where players fight against hordes of alien insects, robots and squids to Spread Democracy™. Players wage war on a number of contested planets, each with a different environment, completing as many objectives as possible in a procedurally generated level while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful operations, a planet can be defended or liberated, and the player base must cooperate to try to liberate the entire galaxy by focusing and combining their efforts as much as possible.

>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?
Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is a shared screen top-down shooter in the same setting. Its mechanics were based primarily on Arrowhead's first game, Magicka.

squids filter solofags and shitters way too hard so it will never be popular unless you completely lobotomize it and turn it into bugs2.0, which isn't fixing it so much as ruining it

The six xbox players will SINGLEHANDEDLY win us the galactic war.

I just found out shock pods were a thing in a pub. I was in a bots game and kept getting slowed down while trying to reach my EATs to kill enemies shooting at me a mile away from the pod drop area. There is absolutely no way someone could be even slightly familiar with how the game is played and think that was a good idea. Recoilless + EATs + 2 sentries was fun though.
>>534246107
Make overseers fun to fight. Leviathans are just dumb and annoying sure but people don't talk about how ridiculous overseers are.
And I don't wanna hear "muh realism" when they can tank direct EAT shots and don't get staggered when getting shot while using a jetpack.

>>534246107

>>534246939
Being able to tank direct EAT shots is literally part of their lore. All of that kinetic and explosive energy is distributed and ignored by the frangible, ablative super-materials that their armor is comprised of. Its entire downside is that it works regardless of the size of the munitions, whether its small arms fire or anti-vehicle weapons. Now there is obviously a limit to this capability seeing as how orbital weapons fire can overcome it.

Maybe that would make sense if it was a plasma shield / reactive armor which could only take a certain amount of force or if slower projectiles could bypass it like a droideka. There is no reason why their "plates" or whatever die in the same arbitrary amount of shots from a pistol round as a rocket, and that the rocket shouldn't throw them on their ass or kill their unarmored parts with shrapnel, or the fact that they can fly smoothly in all directions during all of that. If it was consistent 500kg also wouldn't penetrate somehow, and the melee weapons would break with one swing or somehow send the helldiver flying backwards.
The weakness of other units in the game actually makes some internal physical sense like legs and joints on bigass enemies, heatsinks on bots, chargers and bile titans bleed to death, bigass wings on the mutalisks and then they crash into each other etc

Normally I have a whale of a time with this game, doesn’t matter faction or loadout or anything else. Been my main game for months.

But holy shit the last few operations on Duma Tyr with pubbies has been a fucking shitshow. People fighting bot drops in the middle of nowhere or in bases/colonies that have already been cleared out, or alternatively shutting their brain off when they see any heavy enemy whatsoever

People coming with commandos, autocannons and RRs but taking out less heavies than me, with an epoch, jump pack, 120 and mortar

Taking time to type in chat “Jesus this is insane” like just shoot the fucking robots

>>534250671
>Duma Tyr with pubbies has been a fucking shitshow.
Hmm...

>>534250325
>There is no reason why their "plates" or whatever die in the same arbitrary amount of shots from a pistol round as a rocket,
well.. they don't. they have HP values. the chest plate of an overseer is 150 HP and 2 armour so the peacemaker takes 3 shots to break it.
As for EATs not killing them, it's actually way closer to killing than than you think. Again with the chest armour, it does actually have 20% transfer to main. 2000 damage from the EAT transfers 400 to the main HP, and then the 150 damage secondary explosion hits the main HP directly, leaving the overseer on 50 HP on main. It's not like the EAT hit gets completely 100% absorbed by the chest armour and the overseer is completely fine otherwise.

>>534251126
When are we getting squid heavy armor that can absorb a cannon tower to the chest and walk it off

>>534247315
>distributed and ignored by the frangible, ablative super-materials that their armor is comprised of.
What if when you hit an overseer with something like an EAT their armor equally distributed the energy through the entire suit of armor, shattering the entire suit, weakening them, and leaving them entirely vulnerable as well?

L4D2, Vermintide 2 and Payday all had "Heavies/specials killed" statistics but I imagine if they tried to add it here it would break 5 other mechanics, misalign 7 sights and get Eagle-1 pregnant without a permit
>>534251126
I argued for inconsistent realism, you said there's lore justification and then threw around physics words and now you're arguing gameplay, where it makes the least amount of sense because bullet sponges aren't fun to fight. "Yeah but the EAT ALMOST kills the heavily spammed ranged enemy" yeah but they don't. And I'm saying if the EAT can't one shot it because of it's health value (and not because of armor wizardry) then rapid fire weapons will take too long too, therefore less fun for everyone.
Something should be tweaked about the damage model, the durable damage thing makes things too complicated. I used to think that brood commanders had medium armor heads because I could empty half a clip/mag of some light penetration weapon into its head but it felt like the lib penetrator could decapitate it pretty quickly. And I thought medium armor penetration would transfer more damage than light armor pen because that would actually make sense. At least a charging decapitated brood commander can be kinda countered with a melee parry (which is fun)

This seems ass backwards. Why would there be more harvesters wandering and less in drops, with more zombies in drops around fewer running around?
Flesh mobs being dropped makes sense, but squid drops should be more densely packed with squid units, rather than voteless bodies, even if the voteless are personal favorites

Not the guy from before, and I’m not scrolling up, but I don’t think you did, or you did a poor job of it.
How is an enemy with clear strength and weaknesses a bullet sponge?
DESU, this whole conversation could be based on the lie of squid infantry being able to tank an eat to the plate and I wouldn’t even know, since the handful of times I’ve ever thought to quasar them I’ve apparently domed them.

Only if blast only weakens their armor to the point that their giant squid bazongas are allowed to deal the death blow to the straps, slapping and bouncing freely in the wind, and only if they add an emote where your helldiver stops and shouts AWOOOGA as their eyes turn into meter long oblong oogling devices projecting from their sockets, so one can properly respond in such a situation, at the spectacle of a helplessly exposed illuminated as it screams in a high pitched effeminate far eastern mannerism, dropping its arms and fleeing for cover, lest they losing anything else before their hated foe

If the weakness is bullets and it's too many bullets for it to be a weakness, it is a bullet sponge, and I'm really trying to argue from fun. Fighting mediums on bots or bugs with a machine gun feels much better IMO because of stagger, better weakpoints and less health.
I tried using autocannon to snipe their head off but then I couldn't zero in the sights on the autocannon, almost as if it wasn't meant for precise sniping.
The AMR kinda works but the low ergonomics kinda screws the fun and when you set the zoom to the lowest level it zooms out your FOV a crazy amount and it makes me squint like an idiot. Plus the AMR is really only efficient against the Overseers and maybe the bomber plane things. Can't blow up warp ships and uses too much ammo against tripods.

How to efficiently kill war striders with the AC? I dumped 10 APHET rounds into one of its leg and the nigga just grenade spammed me to death. Where do I aim?

>>534256631
leg joint. It still takes a lot of shots though.

>>534256631
You don't, autocannon has a pretty poor matchup against them even when you're hitting their leg joint weak point

Am casual as fuck, played Deep Rock Galactic mostly on Dangerous, rarely on Extreme and never on Lethal. Played a bit the original Helldivers and i dont think event went over difficulty level 5, struggled just right on it so i never went up. Meanwhile here, i was doing D10 on day 4 back when i started during the Squid invasion and honestly cant tell the difference between D7 and D10

>>534256631
5 shots to the leg joint, 10 to the leg itself (don't hit the armoured greaves)

>>534246107
What >>534251634 said.

I like bots because it gives cool fire fights and they can kill you.
I like bugs because they're spooky up close and capable of killing you.
I don't like squids because they offer nothing, and can't kill you. But if squids were the horde faction where you were always running or running out of ammo, it would be fun.

Infinitely spawning zombies always moving towards you no matter where you are or what you're doing would actually force people to bring better builds, play together and be threatening. I don't think more Squids types will do much to be honest, because its not the design philosophy that works for Squids. Bugs are heavy armor, bots are medium armor, squids are light, that means squids need to swarm more.

>>534256631
You don't efficiently kill war striders unless you have AT or thermites

>>534257747
Same. Ive play darktide 8 hours a day for the past few years and never beaten uhhh dark difficulty. Finally came here after losing my job and all my hair and I’m sailing through super helldive missions without ever even taking damage.

>>534258489

When developers listen to the "hardcore" minority, it always results in slopification that kills what made the original game or series actually fun in favor of souless calculator spreadsheets and minmaxing meta chasing.

It never works. A game is either designed to be hardcore or softcore and people stick to it. DRG/Darktide offer both, DRG became softcore, Darktide became hardcore. EDF offers both, it becomes hardcore. HD2 offered both at launch, it became softcore.

Whatever the reason PvE games build communities of a type and then the game becomes that.

>>534261361
>It never works.
That's because it takes actual effort beyond just tweaking numbers in order to make a difference in difficulty that feels reasonable instead of retarded.

>>534261361
DRG actually add new difficulty modifier though. Even without them, Vanilla hazard 5 in DRG is harder than launch helldiver diff 9. People don't complain about having to take "meta" set up to play at rhe highest difficulty in DRG neither.

It is though? Every other game, higher difficult is just tweaking the number as well. Every of them is stronger enemies +.more enemies. Why does simply raising the number work for other game?

>>534261856
Because the Swedish programing would fall apart, all the more on consoles, if they tried to up the number of enemies, and if they just up the armor, we get back to rundivers where only your support weapon and red can kill things unlike other games without all or nothing armor systems where they can just scale up the enemy HP.

>>534261776
I don't really have problem finding haz 5. Haz 5 with modifier has a steady player base as well. Hardest to find is deep dive elite but nature of deep dive always means it is hard to find random players for queue, even for standard deep dive

>>534260817
That would make people build even harder into solo speed builds.

>>534264785
NTA, but more enemies wouldn't really solve the running away problem unless you specifically program them to try to flank and encircle you, which AH seems incapable of doing outside of having them just spawn directly behind you in a blind spot.
The real solution is having them be faster, forcing you to either fight or die. My solution would be necromorph Voteless that take a bunch of damage to kill, but have frail limbs that you can cut off to take them out quickly.
The other idea would be to have Overseers actually control Voteless in a meaningful way, so that as long as there's an Overseer alive they control the Voteless in a big blob that tries to flank and encircle you while the necromorphs and Fleshmobs try to run you down.

Well you made me waste my time double checking, so at least you have that.

i don't play this game but after what i saw from the super earth invasion by the squids, i think i've started to take it more seriously, current MO aside
cause while the first game had the patriotic fervor the reasons the opposing factions hadwere a bit more nuanced in order for the satire to work, this game had the propaganda initially be a bit more silly in portraying everyone as gunning for super earth's jugular for the sake of playing the victim, but the enemies seemed to just go "you know what? let's prove them RIGHT."

If the MO said or implied this you'd have a point. It doesn't. This is headcanon that you're using to defend a VERY stupid MO.

>If the MO said or implied this you'd have a point. It doesn't.

I want a difficulty mode where they just straight up don't send reinforcements and they just drop you in to doom fortresses on actual suicide missions.

>the point is
>uh uhm uhhh

>>534274512
I think for D10+, bring back the Launch era Operation Debuffs. The player is strong enough to justify it now.
Also a nigh constant stream of Chaff enemies dropping in, it'd be different from the normal enemy drops, which should be relegated entirely to Commissars.

>>534274765
Haha, silly me, I'm such a botfag.
Commissars OR Watchers OR Scavengers.

>>534274652
If you want an MO about not being effected by scare tactics make it about killing Hulks and Berserkers(The units that mount heads on spikes and shit) and then increase their spawns on all planets in the sector. Now the MO makes sense.

>>534274158
It's honestly a pretty neat worldbuilding foundation.

There, NOW it sounds like you're trying to counter a scare tactic with a scare tactic.

Now look at what they actually wrote out, lazy, uninspired, and could literally be confused for any "Kill [random number] of [blank]" MO. In fact it was so lazy that people were actively wondering if this MO was some sort of misclick instead of a conscious decision.

The MO text is lazier and less consistent than it used to be. Super Earth vehemently denies that Automatons are sentient beings, but this MO text is talking about them in the exact opposite manner.

My prediction for tomorrow: Some random lvl 50 squid invasion on some "who gives a fuck world" because some vaguely related thing. And if we fail we effectively lose the entire MO because Joel really wants to make the Indian intern happy so hes not accused of being a racist.

>>534277223
We already have the megacity biome, so unless these new cities come with new tilesets, missions, or otherwise, they're not going to be any different from what we already have. My guess is that the only difference they're going to make is to the galactic war by shifting liberation values slightly.

>>534246107
They burned us out on them by having back to back MOs and the super earth defense. Let them sit for a while then bring in some new non-zombie units that do something other factions don't. Like teleport or bring up big shields. Honestly I think the zombies are the worst part of the squids. They're boring. Flying overseers I think should be armed exclusively with grenade launchers.

Joking is something you can do if it's appropriate to the relationship at hand. Your boss probably wouldn't appreciate the kind of retarded offensive jokes you exchange with your close friends.

>>534279003
I always thought that it would make more sense for it to be stuff like them saying that Super Earth failed to properly fund the terminid pens, and now millions are dead in a preventable containment breach that's all their fault.

I personally don't like the idea of something that massive being able to be shoved out of the sky with AP3, which is why I'd prefer to turn it into basically a weather condition that needs to be avoided, with the added benefit of being technically able to kill it.

I'd probably also add a smaller lowflying version of the Leviathan with a single laser cannon, and have it chase after whoever it spots like a more durable Stingray. Call it the trilobite or something.

I have a theory that these "Muh solofag" shitposters are /coopg/fags, specifically Darktide players. It makes the most sense considering Fatshark games punish the fuck out of you for running off alone with enemies that can just disable you, forcing you to have team mates save you. The fact you can just walk away from things in this game or that you can have a division of labor boggles their mind and makes them seethe because they perceive it as someone ruining their le epic havoc 40 run by running off alone

Helldivers is won by doing objectives. You are supposed to ignore enemies in favor of objectives whenever possible. That is the way the game is designed.

>>534246107
All they have to do is release the leaked cultist sub faction and permanently shelf the zombie slop forever. Space wizards that can do nanotech magic and and have a cool monk aesthetic is infinitely more interesting than fat squids wearing diaper armors with zombies.

>>534278786

>>534283434
It's a dead mechanic that AH forgot about because the game used to be a slower paced tactical shooter during its 8 year development.

>>534283434
I hate that there isn't a voice line asking someone to team reload for you.

>>534283481
No.
The sub faction would only work with zombies supplementing them. Otherwise 90% of the anti horde shit is useless, and people just take machine gun sentries.

>>534283434
I really love this game but hoooly shit man the fucking glitches and incompetence from the developers god damnn

The seeker knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the seeker from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the seeker is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the seeker must also know where it was.
The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

>These things, impacts, and HE nades need a buff
How did you arrive to this conclusion? I have used all of them countless times to great effect.

>>534283750
And did either of you bother to specify which one of these two situations you were talking about? Because "Walk away from the fleshmob" IS a valid strategy, especially with gas.

>>534283892
So they just have zombies?

>>534283831
No, what they need, all grenades except thermites, fireworks, and gas needs.
Is more capacity and for resupply boxes to give more than fucking two.

>>534283831
Seekers are ok, but you should be able to ping down a bug hole or a fabricator vent and have it fly in there and destroy it.

>>534283831
>>534284221
Yes, what we need is more power creep because the game isn't already a joke as is. Good idea.

>>534284221
Half of max rounding up, taking grenade armors into account. 3-4 gives you 2, 5-6 gives you 3, and 7-8 gives you 4.

I hope they never fix the hold emote.

>>534284345
>powercreep
>buffing underpowered garbage
That's not even what powercreep is, if anything it's making the stuff obsoleted by it catch up.

>>534284029
Well when would you take these options.
>Flying nades
you want to be able to throw an impact at a long range target point or a flying unit
Only use case is for gunships and maybe distant patrols (which don't really need engaging at distances), and in any range you'd want a grenade for a group of enemies right away it's awkward and delayed

>Impacts
Probably the better of the three, but that's only because you can use them to group stagger enemies before they can hit you. This is pretty much solely applicable against grouped up devs. Otherwise any other grenade option is better. Meaning it's effectively just a get out of jail for free card with no unique niche outside that.

>HE grenades
The AP4 falls off after 2.5 meters, which means it can't really do much to heavies. It's finicky and not worth learning the cooking. At most can deal more damage to dev patrols, but it's very rare to actually need something for clumped up dev patrols.

They all feel like bot nades exclusively, but bots never clump up outside of drops. (Which are typically countered by something stronger already).

>>534284485
>its not powercreep!
>we just want good options to be as strong as the top meta picks!
Never mind the fact that the top meta picks are essentially broken. But there's no point in making this post because you'll keep ignoring the fact that the enemies have never been weaker or more toothless than they are now. Asking for more weapon buffs when the game's top difficulty can't even offer a smidge of difficulty is fucking retarded.

>>534284221
I'd be fine with that, nades feel extremely restricted for the amount you get. Frags felt like a really good direction.

>>534246107
Fleshmobs with Tesla towers in their backs.
Overseers with arc throwers
If the arcs hit a voteless, it doesn’t count and arcs again.
Voteless struck by these strange bolts are effected as if stimmed

>>534284743
Flame nades are nearly mandatory on aliens with their spawn rates. It'd only make sense to give the player more grenades to keep up with these changes spawn rates

>>534284478
>>534284345
HE, Smoke, Incen, and Frag nades could be buffed to 4 per resupply boxes with 6 base capacity, and people still wouldn't take them over thermite.
Incen I'd admit to be okay-ish already, but gas exists.

Impact/Incen Impact while easy to use, is a bit hard to close bug holes/fabs with.
Though incen impact is actually in an okay spot already as a way to plop down an instant fire floor against bugs/voteless.
Impact has garbage economy though.

Who the fuck uses arc nades?

>>534284743
More supply doesn't increase their strength or power level, you just get to fucking use them more.

>>534284636
The reality is that the only reason I take anything over gas grenades is because I want the added challenge of playing without gas grenades.
What I need is a plasma grenade to go with my PLAS MAN loadout. I'M THE PLASMAN! I COME IN AND I THROW PLASMA EVERYWHERE I TAKE A BITE OUT OF THE PLAS!

>Give everything a usecase so that no piece of equipment is directly outclassed or otherwise made redundant.

>>534284956
>Who the fuck uses arc nades?
Me they're fucking fantastic, dare I say Op two zaps and an epoch kill most lite heavies.

They will annihilate crowds of enemies and stun whatever is left. Like I'm actually shocked - heh- people aren't gushing about them..

>>534284956
>Having access to more nades at a moments notice isn't a buff.
Cokme on bro, are you serious?

>>534284956
Incen nades got buffed and are ludicrously strong, like on par with gas as they linger twice as long and just melt chaff.
Incen don't need a buff at all but I'd agree with your others. Smoke could use a bigger radius too.

>>534284956
I'd willingly take a useless grenade with a base cap of 8 so that I didn't have to take the grenade pistol to close bug holes.

>All autocucknons? Ayo chat are these divas like fr fr

Even if you have 10 HE/frag grenades per spawn you still won't use them for shit beyond dumping them on bug holes.

Thermite is great becouse you can blow up fabs by throwing it anywhere on fab. With warp you can solo fabs so fast with thermite. Strafing run and AT weapon

>>534284743
>the top meta picks are essentially broken.

How so. Gas I can agree with, but thermite doesn't really break the game. The only reason I would say it gets so much use is that AT reds are useless and thermite exists out of necessity.

>>534285164
I take barrages and EAS for this and feel pretty satisfied having them in my kit.
I think too many grenades would be a bit of a problem, and I'd rather they just buffed the power of nades themselves maybe.

صباح الخير أحبائي، أنا أحب وطني هنا في السويد.

>>534285320
3/4 HE grenades can't outright delete a patrol. And having enough grenades on hand to closer a large bug nest is not a minor thing either.

>>534285320
You say that but I use frags all the time for clumped up groups of enemies. They help buy space so you can push through places, and taking supply pack, frags, and nade armor is my favorite past time.

>>534285364
3 uses balance thermite very well. Few enough that you need something else for AT. But still powerful.

>>534285542
>can't
can*

>>534285542
2 delete patrols, one plus some gun fire will be typically enough to one mag most patrols.
Like the one thing nades do typically is nuke patrols.

>>534285591
Yeah, they're a nice option to have in a kit but very rarely mandatory. They mostly just enable kits that don't have enough AT.

If we saw more reliable AT reds thermites would drop pretty quickly.

>>534285542
>use up all your nades/2 resupply boxes worth on a patrol
A GL would do it in half a mag, not to mention HE nade fuze fucks its accuracy up even more unless you're cooking it like an Epoch with no indicator.

Honestly the long timer between burning and exploding is their real drawback. Every time a charger is just slowly walking towards me to do its crushing claws attack while a thermite is burning on its face makes me wish I took anything else.

>>534285771
If rocketpods worked properly. I would run without support weapon. Thermite+rocketpods+strafing run. Pick up support weapons I find from map.
For me. It wouldn't be thermite that gets dropped first. It would be support.

A vague idea of self plugging tubes and spindly robot arms clamping on to a gun to keep it steady. When you toggle it on, whatever weapon is equipped gets this treatment, and toggling it off would require holstering and unholstering the weapon or something else annoying to complete the process. You wouldn’t be able to disrupt the holstered reloads either. Essentially that weapon would be bound for the process for at least a moment while the backpack fiddles with it, to prevent too much abuse. Not sure how hot swapping would work.
The guns could be anything, but I pictured comically large pistols with tubes leading to the base plate and back plate respectively, not just reminiscent of their in game progenitors, but melded on top of irl handguns, namely funhouse mirror 1911s. Normally you’d have to hold them like sawed offs, but the pack allows them to be toted “single handed”, it’s manipulators cradling and leveling respectively alongside your own.
The first one utilizes the backpack to act as a safe DE sickle, but helldivers are given essentially jail broken models, possibly pushing the AI and its systems to the limit as it tries to convert and shed the access energy buildup through a series of outlets and failsafes. Namely through electromagnetic effects with end results similar to other as seen in game: namely emp mortars and Tesla arcs.
>I was trying to think of ways to allow alternate fire without mode selection, so melee being the trigger seemed easy to work in and understand. As for the description: air racking is just racking the slide with one hand via punching motion. Googling it will show examples.
The latter is the talon, but a support weapon. The systems in the back pack regulates its fire rate, with the trade off being a greatly enhanced capacity and cooling rate. It’s “pump action” slows cool down, but turns it into a mini quasar.
The numbers are made up and don’t matter, but I weighed them against their counterparts

Why doesn't AH have a staged charging system for Railgun and Epoch?
e.i. 90-95% of charge does 95% of max damage, 95-99.99% of charge does 100% of max damage
There is a super high (like 98-99%) charge requirement for one-shotting hulks with Epoch that is annoying to get consistently since a quarter second mistake is instant death.
I think I'd be a nice enough quality of life improvement for these guns so people take them more. Not like they are broken anyway.

>>534290479

>>534290389
Because hitting around 90% charge is the skill part of those gun. There are power increase in the earlier stage of the charge too but there is a big jump, particularly for Epoch. You actually don't need high charge unsafe railgun and even epoch to get one shot in hulk eye.

So what's the story with old armors having inconsistent armor perk to their naming scheme/description anyway? Stuff like the SA-04 Combat Technician having a name (SA) and description that implies it's Servo-Assist yet it's a medium scout armor.
Meanwhile the SC-15 Drone Master is an engi armor even though its SC implies it's supposed to be scout armor like the Infiltrator and Trailblazer.

Meanwhile Polar Patriots armors all have CW prefix while being Light-Scout, Heavy-Fortified, and Heavy-Servo

"Super Earth. Our home" - is GENIUS writing

Because it's the first line you hear in the game - and it is A LIE.

As implied by the ship crew's voice lines - most humans from colonized planets never even get to set foot on Super Earth - and most would not even be allowed to. And yet, the advertisement aiming to enlist the children from colonized planets starts off calling Super Earth "our home". That's terrifyingly good propaganda writing - using the highly evocative and powerful word "home" to cover up a blatantly hollow statement and using "our" to create a false sense of collective ownership over a place they can never even visit! Fucking GENIUS idea to start the game off like that.

The fact that the voice lines and MO announcement texts have added more and more depth to the satire in the game consistently over the last year and a half is AMAZING. It really does take VERY talented and passionate writers to do it this well - and there are COUNTLESS examples of this brilliance scattered all over the game.

So yeah, hats off the the writers working to add so much depth and detail to Super Earth lore. Absolutely fantastic work!

CoD is tweaker tryhard fest, Battlefield is fucking dead (Hey catch me later, I'll post lobby for BF6)
DRG hasnt had any meaningful changes done for how many seasons?

At some point, embracing the old self and playing singleplayer games seems like a way better call than anything.

>>534299452
I meant that more regarding how Swedes like Mojang and Arrowhead seems QoL-averse lazy piece of shits that adds stupid stuff because swedish humor or something.
I really think they should be embarassed at how SC farming/medal farming, not playing the actual game, is the best way to gain a resource that actually contributes to your account's persistent progression among other things.
Or how level 20-25 weapon XP is just way more than 1-20 for no reason.

>>534300610
I cant speak for AH, but Mojang?
Their balls are stuck in a vice thanks to Microsoft. And Microsoft is very VERY careful about letting them do any updates that would change the game in the slightest, because they dont want to change anything that would make the game feel...any different. The past additions have been more closer to a theme park of "we added a new thing, it has nothing to do with anything else in the game, and doesnt change anything fundamentally, but its there...so...yeah."
Its why their April Fools jokes are the only time you see something new and unique, cause its the only time Mojang can do whatever the fuck they want.

Not trying to defend Mojang here, just saying how it is from what I've heard 'bout them.

>SC / Medals being the only resource tied to a permanent progression
True. And even past player level 25, there's nothing to unlock other than titles. You dont even get any cool capes or any special armor!
How hard would it be to shit out a cape for reaching level 50, 100 or 150 that gets progressively more fucked up to show how long you've been around? Or an armor set that is the default B-01 with modifications done to it, maybe some etchings into the armor similar to the light jihad armor, or having bullet / shrapnel holes in them like the other medium Steeled Veterans armor?

>>534293352

>>534302716
I second this >>534302903 guy's opinion on VoTV. Very cool, atmospheric, vaguely im-sim game. But it's a singleplayer game and I assume you're looking for multiplayer, as previously mentioned.
For shooters, the ArmA series is fun and Reforger seems to have a pretty good and active multiplayer community.
Ready or Not is a very nice spiritual successor to SWAT4, but you really should not play multiplayer with pubbies, so you'd need buddies or somehow get people from here to play with you. (it also has singleplayer, which are the same missions as multiplayer, but you get an AI squad to command)
And Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 is also a fun co-op horde shooter, though Admiteddly the gameplay loop isn't too deep.

>>534303229
If you want to complain at least play the game

>>534300773
Players were getting too good at holding down a position.
Though, addition of scorpion and the red spewer kinda cemented scout into the HVT hunting role of the team, which was kinda neat and fun.

Brother, this is a weapon for people who have done nothing but abuse the shit out of wire-guided missiles in games like ArmA or Battlefield.
I wouldn't call it useless either, because if you're good enough, you get to kill 4 hulks to the eyeslot before you need to call another one in.
It has upsides and drawbacks, just like any weapon does. Otherwise it'd be fucking boring to run the same thing over and over again because its the best option available, eh?

brb, telling all my friends to log into helldivers and leave the game idling while they go to work.

>>534304689
This might be useful for shooting behind cover.
Get up tag a target, crouch back down/go behind cover, shoot up into the air and the missiles seeks that last point the laser was touching.
Might be decent for bunker turrets especially.

>>534306604
You just laser cannon that shit anywhere, cannon turrets on the other hand is where it's more worth it but it takes two rockets.
If it's command bunkers then you just dump your shot into the actual bunker.

I'm gonna throw every last one of my free railcannons at heavy targets. I'm not gonna abuse it for Joel's wacky dangling carrot chase.

>>534297987
The players in this game really REALLY like standing 5m away from the enemies. They will bayonet charge even if they have no bayonets or melee weapons.

He only wants to make the game more fun. You're all just mean to poor lil Alexus :(

>>534306965
Why yes, I need to be in throat amputation range of berserkers lest I'll be called a snipersissy

>>534294027
Because the limbs popping off from explosions would cause the enemies to take multiple times the damage from explosions and AH seems to have decided to have explosions apply only once outside of special cases.

>>534307243

>stun weapons are fixed now, aren't they more engaging with 1/4 of the effect?
>well of course the epoch can't destroy structures, plasma doesn't work like that

>>534307243
Like 90% of their changes to weapon balance seem to be gut feeling rather than actual playerbase use or mathematical. Look at the slug shotgun for all the information needed on why they don't know what the fuck they are doing.

See the thing is that I don't really like Leviathans as a "weather condition", especially when they do retarded shit like giving us an objective to kill millions of them.
I think they'd be more fun if they were more killable, maybe with a longer respawn time. And behaved more aggressively, acting as an actual threat as opposed to something to ignore.
As they are now it's just some shitty nigh-unkillable cannon turrets that kind of vaguely wander the map and are hard to take cover from outside a megacity.
If the bots had cannon turret blimps that took 10 anti-tank shots to down I don't think people would enjoy this.

>>534292198
the bacon shit bothers me because most armors don't visually fit what they do. Like the bloodhound having extra grenades on it's belt but not having anything to do with grenades.

Genuinely the only weapon I can't make work is the killzone tie-in plasma rifle.
It just feels like a support weapon with primary weapon damage.

I bet they'll never implement anything similar to armor customization (even if it were simple user-chosen color swaps to make pieces match) because that'll upset people who have pre-order and event armor.

>>534283712
>>534283737
I'd like one just so I can use it to offer to reload someone when I look at a teammate and see them slowly and laboriously reloading their support weapon.

>>534307243
what is so fun about a B tier weapon like the Epoch getting buried in half a dozen arbitrary downsides?

>>534309612
It has 27 bursts (aka 27 shots) which is less than the majority of support weapons.
Each shot needs to be particular since you can't un-charge the damn thing.
In addition the damage is only slightly higher than other marksman alternatives like deadeye (per 3 shots).

That's why you just drop in on bot eradicates with 3eagles (500kg, astrike, strafe) and an OB (laser or 120mm) so you can powerlevel shit without actually using/needing your primary.

Aight, what Warbond should I take next of all of these? I have over half of them and I'm satisfied with most of my primaries and options. Now I'm just filling shit out for fun. Mostly want a decent secondary; obviously GP for utility, I have melee but they nerfed it, Ultimatum feels too limited, and Senator should be my boo but the fucking sway makes it feel like shit. I like the Warrant a lot but want something punchier.

>Polar Patriots
I really, really want the Verdict and have for a while. I'm starting to like the plasma guns with Scorcher and hear Purifier's practically a straight upgrade. Like a few of the aesthetics but otherwise not compelling. Plus, Incendiary Impact.

>Chem Agents
Boring as shit and going back and forth on how useful it is, but gas 'nades are great and gas dog fucks bugs and squids. I otherwise use Pyrotechs and mobility packs.

Talon is apparently top-of-the-line and not worrying about ammo would be nice. Hoverpack and Deadeye might be nice. Maybe Dynamite and the armors too, there's cool shit.

Feel like it's a waste compared to some but the Warp Pack is so, so fun when I pick it up and I want to give the Epoch a fair shake since I like railgun and feel like Quasar is too limited at times.

Truth Enforcers has an A tier booster, S tier sidearm, and Reprimand while not really deserving the SMG categorization is still really fun in cqc. I don't enjoy the shotgun or the armors.
Cutting Edge has Blitzer. worth it. stuns aren't bad since they get you the cc of something like gas or arc while being less of a hindrance.
Force of Law has Pacifier which if it ever gets the same 20-30% damage buff that all other ARs got will be stupidly powerful. the support weapon is okay. zapdog is incredible if dangerous. the armor perk is excellent, great for lobbies without vitality booster.

The problem comes from them setting up everything like its gonna lead to this grandiose finale, but all we get is more and more the same refrain that everyone got bored and tired of.
People want something new and engaging to interact with. They want new content. They want the rest of the illuminate faction to appear already.
They want the Galactic War to be actually player-driven, and not "uhhh well if you listen to what uncle joel says, maybe you can capture a planet with 5% resistance...wink wink"
But its too much to ask for.
Having the devs actually deliver on their promises, and giving the customers what they keep asking for, is too much.

We've fallen to the swedish tricks once again.

Increasing chaff enemy spawns like troopers / raiders on the bot front would actually make things way more kino.
Bug front? I want actual hordes of bugs swarming me. Maybe rev up the bile titan spawns. But if I dont get at least 200 terminid warriors spawning from one bug breach on D8 alone, you know what to do.
>woah you just want to shoot more things mindlessly
Yes. I want their corpses to pile up. I want discoball lightshows on the bot front with lasers everywhere. I want to pile up bug corpses and create more E-710 than ever.

It would genuinely cost Joel nothing but his own time to not only write the whatever messages we get on MO start/win/failure but also maintain a Democractic Compendium of Peace where he just writes-up how things are going per-planet, which he doesn't even have to do retroactively he can just start it now and update it as time goes on to give some story and lore behind things. But he won't because he's a stupid nigger and deserves to be raped by a pack of gorillas
The entire game is practically only playable during hot-button MO's or in the last few hours of a defense when spawns get turned up so that it's actually difficult
>>534319274
See above, I've seen it since a few months after the game came out but when the time comes to actually change-up missions by bumping up spawn rates things actually get fun and it intrigues people to come back to the game for those missions
Still saddened it took until the Gloom expansion to actually see regular chaff enemies have their spawn doubled (something I've wanted since march 2024) and it was during a patch where flame fucking broke so you couldn't annihilate packs of them with the flame guns
I've seen bots drop 16 Devastators at a time on planets we were intended to lose, I've seen one single diver getting spotted turn into 5+ dropships, Popli IX showcased how fucking crazy fun the game COULD BE, and yet all we get is niggerfied nigger-lipped niggers who refuse to break out of the extremely boring regularness the game has and refuses to give us true fun (typically in the form of a free stratagem and boosted spawn rates) more than once a month.
Arrowhead is rife with niggers and Joel and Alexus deserve to be raped by roving packs of gorillas. I want to see them be given a 2km stretch to cross (sized to a Helldiver map) where they have to avoid these packs so that they can learn what the fuck it means to move around and not sit down watching reruns on TV instead of working.

this anon is obsessed with niggers, gorillas, niggers raping, and gorilla rape. maybe even gorilla niggers.
i think he wants to be raped by gorillas while niggers rape his waifu.

>>534320629
Oh, and at cost of another post, I'd like to mention that the game being 133gb to install is now a major issue in getting people to come back.
I can come back to Darktide because it's 60gb, I can come back to Ready or Not because it's the same, I can't just uninstall and come back to Helldivers when it's bigger than fucking Baldur's Gate 3, a game I put off reinstalling due to size only to reinstall and then not even want to play anymore.
I can use 120gb to install every game in the Master Chief Collection and have more fun, anyways.
Too bad Joel and Alexus haven't been raped by packs of gorillas yet because it'd kick the rest of the 140 members of Arrowhead into actually working on the game instead of sitting around

>>534320470
Hell yeah.

I want the bot front to force us into trenches. Imagine devastators you cant run around. If you poke your head out a turret blasts you. Razor wire fuckig everywhere. Every inch of ground earned by wasting bots. Having to hack a terminal or hellbomb to open blast doors to get into forts, maybe even have us dig thin walls away with a shovel to connect to other tunnels

>MO railgun kills
Is this even viable to do so?
If we could assume the median playerbase around 30k. Then each player would need to perform 83.3 kills with it. That's quite a tall order. To say at least that each mission would give us the grace to kill it two per mission (one from augmentation other from own stratagem slot). Two because it really sucks ass to have a clear shot with it (as there are tougher enemies, cannons, factories).
It fucking sucks. It's again with going back to diff 1-3 and you might farm SC along with trooper kills for the sake of it.

>>534319421
I agree. This looks like sloppy programming where the tracking coordinate for the commando rockets lingers when you stop ads-ing and the rocket tracks to it.

>>534321006
I can see "ultimate" versions of bugs & bots, where bugs is just literal hordes & rips off Starship Troopers, & I can see Bot worlds with trench warfare turned up to 11, in the Gloom & near Cyberstan respectively, but i have zero idea what to do with the Squids as an "ultimate, this is what the squids are" type war. I think it would be cool to have maps occasionally with a feature where the SEAF are compromised & attack you, but that's about it. The ayys have a bit of Veitnam war vibe mixed with War of the Worlds but I dont know how you dial that up to 11, what does a squid world look like? Under what conditions are you suffering from? Bug maps are messy, & visibility is zero. Bot planets are barren with fire coming at you from far away, squid maps are..? Nothing much. I LIKE the squids because they make you have to change tried & true tactics & they have a real mix of stuff that makes it hard to one shot everything in a given map easily, they're lopsided & asymmetrical. But I dont know what they should be in there endgame & I think the Swedes have the same problem

>>534321945
Yes. So imagine a map where the bot forts sit up really high & have a bunch of turrets. Instead of hopping over the walls in a jump pack (for the most part) you instead have to wind your way through trenches to the bottom of the fort & either do some terminal thing to open it up, or bring enough demo to blow it up. Then you get in & deal with the objective (jammer, depo destruction, eye of sauron, whatever) you're breaking into their shit for once.

If they want me to care about MOs they need to offer actual rewards like new stratagems again
Too bad every new stratagem gets shoved into the totally-not-a-battlepass warbonds now

>>534322497
yeah, that's what i pictured. good idea dude

>>534322497
Gigachads will just spawn directly onto the fort at the start of the match.

The entire concept of helldivers makes way more sense as offense/assault then it does as defense. But all we fucking do in this game is defense.

>>534323129
And that could be totally viable. Others might not want to facecheck a fort full of bots like that, but im not going to tell you how to play. Youre solving an issue with the tools given. Some might warp, some might use a portable hellbomb, others the terminal, others might blast it with a handful of AT or something. Depends on if the Swedes what to make it warpable or bombable etc.

It's insane that people are still giving that franchise chances after something like 10 bad games in a row.

>>534323248
Because the defense units in-lore are the SEAF. Helldivers are not supposed to spend all their time defending already captured ground. If anything, this obsession with constant defense shows that Joel doesn't even know the fucking lore of the campaign world he is GMing.

>>534246107
>How would you fix this faction
Rework Overseer armor so it's either not ablative anymore, or AP4 and above overrides it so that dumb bullshit like tanking an AT round isn't a thing anymore
Reduce Fleshmob health by like 1000, reduce their explosive weakness to compensate, reduce their spawnrate by 50%
Spawn more Jets
Release the Cultists so there's actual enemy variety
Delete the whales

>>534321162
The concurrent players are rotating players. The actual number of daily players should be 3 to 5 that amount. Not that it makes it much better.

>>534326168
>making it easier
They're not hard. No one is failing missions. They're merely obnoxious and unfun, but mission completion rate is still 100% as it is with every other faction because this is a casual game for casuals.
Ideally the Cultists will provide a (most likely mild) challenge. Also they could compensate the loss of bullet sponge by making enemies more aggressive and more accurate.

>>534325152
You say that, but the only two primaries I find fun are the Eruptor and Purifier both of which I've been using for over a year...

Squids are boring. I don't want the super advanced aliens with mega ultra super duper extra special ablative body armor to have a main unit that is just harmless chaff. Let squids be dangerous beyond getting RNG headshot by a whale or jetpack overseer that are 2km away.

I buy the IP flatout, hire the entire OG team for a new studio called Liberty Bell studios, where we make games set in the Helldivers universe, among others.
Helldivers 3 starts developing immediately, with a focus on CLEAN, USABLE CODE, this is incredibly important.
Then I sit back, make creative decisions and make a gorillion dollars a day because I'm not a stupid Swede, so far up my own ass, I'm counting the cavities on my molars.

Dumb question.
Can a Helldiver wearing only a RR backpack but not carrying a RR, team reload a helldiver carrying a RR but not wearing RR backpack?

What if the reason why we can't team reload off of someone else's backpack is because of milsin autism, and the RR and AC hellpods were actually supposed to be split between a gunner and an ammunition carrier, and they either couldn't get it work right or forgot about it? You can sort of see the same philosophy in the way the EAT has two expendable missiles that be shared between Helldivers, instead of just one EAT.

If you can activate somebody else's hellbomb backpack there's no reason you shouldn't be able to load ammo from their backpack as well other than Swedish incompetence.

>Can a Helldiver wearing only a RR backpack but not carrying a RR, team reload a helldiver carrying a RR but not wearing RR backpack?
Yes. This is also the only use-case where I have ever seen team reloading ever actually work in a real world scenario.

>fighting on bug planet
>see shrieker nest in the distance
>ask friend to quickly hold my backpack
>he does
>we delete the nest
>he gives me the backpack back
In any kind of real combat scenario, there's just too much shit going on to bother with team reloading. Technically this was done with the AC backpack, but the same principles apply to the RR.

If they're not teamkilling you, then what's the problem?

>>534309054
If everyone else is taking EAT/QC's then AC is very nice for taking care of those enemies that aren't "worth" a big shot but most primaries aren't ideal for - like gunships, striders, alpha commanders, etc. I think the AC's biggest competition in that role is taking railgun + supply pack, which I think would be better if everyone else was taking RR (since you could resupply them, or use your own packs for nades/meds), although AC also has some nice chaff clear with flak.
