>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.

A black Helldiver and a white Helldiver capture a squid female. Both are arguing over who gets to rape her first. What happens?

>>535704768
They get raped instead

I have never been given a substantial reason not to go 100% ballistics and explosions. Why do plasma, laser, fire, etc weapons exist at all? Just flavor? That's peak faggoty.

>>535704768
I rape all three of them

>>535705236
my gf

We might be getting a fart JAR.

>>535705295
The issue being that the reason to take the special weapons has been nerfed or is broken.

>Lasers are weaker than real guns but they have status effects and infinite ammo
Status effects are broken and there is infinity ammo on the floor
>Plasma has limited magazines, but it has explosions
Explosion AoEs were all around nerfed and given an AP value so they don't "true damage" large enemies. Also, enemies were given explosion resist 100% all over the place.
>Fire pushes back enemies and gives them status effects
Fire no longer pushes back enemies and status effects are broken

it goes on.

Teaser tomorrow?

>>535706604
next week

>>535706268
>infinite ammo+good accuracy
>but half or 2/3rd the DPS of regular guns
Even with infinite heatsink, the lack of DPS for laser makes them shit, laser cannon at least has the niche of being accurate and has enough damage to be impactful.

patch tomorrow right?

>>535707067
Sickle/dickle are both strong.
Talon is one of the best secondaries.
Scythe is a strong bot headpopper.
Lasers are good.

>>535706268
>Explosion AoEs were all around nerfed
???????????????????????
>and given an AP value
explosions have always had their own AP values, since day 0

Didn't get a job I was counting on today. Legitimately would kill myself right now if it didn't mean my card would starve.

Life is pain and I'm tired of it.

>>535707067
Nah, it's more that the normal guns also have effectively infinite ammo and their status effect is broken (or was removed for later entries).

>>535707613
>S/Dickle
Sickle is just piss, Dickle only turns decent starting with fire armor tax.
>Talon
Verdict but with less ammo. Also competes with grenade pistol and Senator for its slot.
>Scythe
Diligence does the bot weakspot snipe just as good/better.

>scythe has infinite range and perfect accuracy
>can't put anything better than the default 2x scope on it
Why does AH hate fun?

>>535707774
Basically, explosions only deal any damage on a tiny itty bitty microscopic dot on the very center. Then, deal like no damage after that. Rather than being a decay or something more logical. You can see it when getting ragdolled instead of killed by enemy bombs and when you call a precision orbital strike that kills nothing around the shell strike.

>MO projected to fail with 96% completion for the charger objective
Do you think the community still has another outrage in it when AH counts this as a complete failure?

>>535708037

>>535708221
>Best upgrade for most weapons, locked behind 22 levels of XP is to take the attachments off

>>535707981
Talon is a verdict with more damage, no reloads needed and no recoil.
It mogs verdict hard.

>>535707613
They're all passable, but as the other anon pointed out, there's an opportunity cost. You could use the scythe to pop bot heads, or you could just as easily use the diligence, the tendy, or the jar. IMO doesn't really bring much to the table to stand out from the other choices. Genuinely i think an infinite heatsink would be a fine compromise. The time to kill isn't fast enough for it to become a dominant option over the others

>>535707067
>Give Sickle a try since I haven't used it in a while
>Does almost half the damage of most assault rifles
>Has that weird charge-up delay
>Doesn't even feel that accurate either, trying for precise shots against devs effectively involves holding down the trigger and waiting for a bolt to hit its face
>Infinite ammo is irrelevant because I spend just as much if not more time waiting for the thing to cool down, and ammo is plentiful in missions anyway.
Sorry laserNERDS, but if it doesn't shoot bullets I don't care. I'm going back to my trusty Liberator. Wake me up when the Sickle performs half as well as it did in HD1

>>535708446
AH knows exactly what its doing with sights
>starting sights
>3 different CQC sights as filler that are pointless in a TPS
>iron sights that you use for the ergo if you never ADS
>one or two sights with actual magnification you want to use if you ADS
>your favorite probably isn't one of them
Seriously, why can't I put the Liberators basic 2x red crosshair sight on every weapon? Or at least the Diligence?

>>535708209
how many hours left, I have a feeling that democracy is about to be "managed"

When are terminids getting new enemies?

>>535708209
OPS is mostly direct impact damage from the shell by design.

Scythe is ok on bots because of how fast you can kill troopers with ease, or pop devastator heads, but it eats shit immediately the moment a berserker squad shows up, which is arguably the only 'true' fuck you chaff enemy the bots have that isnt the insta-death incel shotgun dev.
Sickle is better suited for close-range engagements due to how its shots fly all over the place past 20 meters, and if you spend the whole ICE to reload faster and get back to shooting, there's really no reason to just not use any other ballistic weapon.

End of the day, its all flavor that you yourself pick for having fun. Caring about "meta" is for shitters.

>>535708209
Explosion damage scales down exponentially since muh realism

>>535709123
No, it has 1,000 explosion damage at 12 meters and uses the same decay as other explosions. The damage decay is too high for everything.

>>535709328
We have to sit alexus 3 meters from an HE grenade and detonate it so he can prove how it deals no damage at that range.

>>535710445
We should shoot bufftroons with an rpg to see if all it does is give you a bruise and ragdoll you.

Bugniggers can't even kill basic bitch charger

>Exact same point, but seething about butfs for some reason
Okay.

>>535710841
Wait a minute, this is the exact same MOnkey flamebait *I* post here on eurohours!

>>535708209
>Basically, explosions only deal any damage on a tiny itty bitty microscopic dot on the very center. Then, deal like no damage after that. Rather than being a decay or something more logical.
But explosive damage does 'decay' over distance. If explosions only ever did their damage in a tiny microscopic dot in the center of the effect weapons like the grenade launcher or any of the explosive grenades just wouldn't function, yet you can clearly see grenades blowing up entire packs of chaff.
Every explosion has an inner radius and an outer radius. Within the inner radius the explosion does 100% of its listed damage value, and then over the distance from the inner radius to the outer radius the damage gradually falls off to 0. I've made this webm so you can see this in action very easily. With the exploding crossbow, which has a 3 meter inner radius and a 6 meter outer radius, you take significantly less damage shooting it into the ground a few meters away from you than you do shooting it directly at your feet. That's the explosive damage decaying over distance, not instantly dropping off into nothing. Some weapons like the punisher plasma and the purifier have an near identical inner and outer radius but that's not common.

As for what parts of an entity an explosion deals damage to it depends entirely on what parts of that entities various hitzones are inside of the explosion radius, and to which degree those parts have explosive damage reduction. yes, some entities like bot raiders have a 'main' hitzone that isn't a visible part of their body that might be a very small physical hitbox buried in the model somewhere, but there are plenty of enemies whose main bodies or torsos are their main hp hitzone. scavs, warriors, and hulks all come to mind immediately as enemies that have completely tangible main hitzones. The hulks entire body other than its limbs, eye, and heatsink is its main HP hitzone.

>>535708843
I have a feeling that when Arrowhead gets around to making extra attachments, not only will they be in warbonds but they'll also be objective upgrades compared to all of the base game attachments.

>incredibly expensive upgrade that reduces the effective radius of your 380's to 85% of stock
>Even more expensive upgrade to upgrade the radius to 93.5% of stock
but your orbital napalms are 10% better so that's totally worth it, right?

>>535711489
tl;dr
But I will assume it's some Alexus defense.

>>535712130
Are you, perchance, retarded?

>>535712130
which is the more effective barrage, left side or right side?

You will never get a cowboy hat. Cope and seethe

>>535707564
no way but it's almost a guarantee that we will get a patch when the new warbond is released

>>535707564
>>535713685
I mean there kind has to be a patch for the 26th, innit? crossplay and whatnot.

>>535713770
Freedoms greetings, shit-eaters.

Patch notes.
>Made Crossplay: ON permanently. You should ALWAYS help out others, no matter where they're from.

That's it for today.

>>535713770
it's very likely also it's almost a guarantee that we will also get a warbond it's to be seen if it will be halo theme or not

>>535714026

>>535714353
No, but considering how /hdg/ has a resident Escharum poster, and we MIGHT get a collab soon, you can stay here.

How does it feel, knowing that everything you used to like, is mainly nostalgia-driven now? The jackals are tearing at the corpse now.

Planets that got liberated / defended and now have idle retards sitting around there, incase you still have an operation open on said planet.

>>535715025
What if Escharum poster was a marketing scheme all along?

>>535715719

>>535715225
I'm probably gonna shoot for this. I expect some extra-jewish behavior to happen this crossover... again.
>mfw 1800 more SC to go
This would be the one time I'd be tempted to buy some super credits, but I'm looking at BF6.

>>535714206
KZ would've been a total 4k SC if the community hadn't forced them onto releasing the second half for free.
Knowing how well AH learns from it errors it will be at least 4k again, probably more.

Brain: pick up the Req slips
Me: why
Brain: you gotta

>>535717870
>still 4k
>has even less content than the KZ collab

>>535718889
>why
so you can tell which POIs you've already looted on the map

>>535719570
isn't that only determined by samples?

I feel like they've juiced the percentage on fat stacks.

>>535710445
>>535709810
This is the reason why practically all games usually have just inner and outer explosion radius with 2 set damage values. The ridiculous decay means your weapon either has to deal nonsensically high damage to have any semblance of AoE damage or the inner AoE radius (that HD2 uses only, and despite the unrealism!) so large the decay becomes non-issue: either enemy is inside max damage range or it doesnt take any meaningful damage, in which case why even have scaling.

>drive around the map with the FRV
>nothing happening
>car just self-destructs for no fucking reason
HA HA HA I AM SO LAUGHING RIGHT NOW IT IS SO LE FUNNY

>>535719618
It specifically depends on what the POI has, I'm pretty sure.
Like those ammo-only POIs in towns.

>>535720056
uh oh...pink wojak mode!!!

>>535720056
>>535720120
>tfw LE RANDUMB STUPID FUCKING DEATH LE FUNNI HAHAHHA

>>535720039
From what I know, games which use inner-outer radii will usually give decay to the outer radius, starting from the edge of the inner radius with a minimum damage value at the edge of the outer radius.

>>535720372
your skin turned pink but at heart you're still brown

>>535708312
>niggke collab next

>>535719819
feels sad when you cant find other people farming SC anymore for the ODST collab. The warbonds have all had fuck ugly useless armor after the urban warrior warbond.

>>535719819
I got this last night when I tried farming again.
Swedes removed the SC farming so I reset 3 times before I noticed I wasn't getting 100 SC every restart
What's the new method for farming now?

>bushes and shrubs will deflect your shots
is this realistic?

>>535720927
People don't need to SC farm in pairs now because the warp pack can bypass bunker doors so it makes sense that fewer groups are running. Of course group farm is probably faster because you can cover more ground.
>>535720935
just drop into Dif 1-3, warp pack and FRV. The warp pack through bunker doors and also has the demo force to bust cargo doors with a small enough radius to not also pop the flammable containers.

>>535708214
Probably, this is completely on AH, I'm not sure what they expected. The bug population hasn't dropped below 80% this entire week. We know that people were playing on decent difficulties, there were 5 bile titan kills for every charger kill, but even then it doesn't really matter, lower difficulties don't spawn enough chargers to be worth farming. Plus people will feel extra burned at a 96% failure after last week's "Oopsie, we really fucked up this kill quota, here have three massive buffs to complete it anyways"

Did they fix the broken XP calculation bullshit on <40 minute mission types yet?

I have an urge to grind weapon XP. Or more frankly I want to be done with the Eruptor. After using this fucking thing for 20ish levels I am really starting to hate it. One major reason is the fact that it is currently busted, does AH know that they've fucked it again? If you fire it too quickly after cycling the bolt it will fire way off target. It did not used to do that.

>>535720376
Indeed. This means the weapon has clear "good hit" area and wide "AoE effect" area while still rewarding hits that are almost within inner hit area. Helldiver's method means there's inner effect area (usually small, almost direct hit) outside of which damage decays so rapidly it barely matters.

It's a railroad. We will win if they want us to win (with all the captured planets we can reduce the amount of faggots needed) and lose if they want us to lose (the entire MO is ruined because we didn't kill one more faggot. 99.9999% isn't enough)

>>535735220

>>535734142

to be fair, reddit and discord both also have gripes with the MO
>either lower your difficulty to a point where the game is trivial, or don't finish the MO

the devs are retarded for not using behemoths as the default for MOs, or for not assigning them proportionate to the data they have

literally nobody wants to lower their difficulty to face easier enemies just so they can participate .001% more to an MO

>>535736815
We've had too many MOs in a row where they were "won" because AH moved the goalposts. That is indeed a rigged victory.

Nobody tell the democracy officer...
>Loads both Halt magazines with flechette rounds

I just want to finally update the "bug orders lost" stat from 2 to 3. It's been like ten months.

>>535736815
Correct.

>>535737205
Brother...explain this one, though...

Why don't they just up the spawn rates for chargers
They literally have the technology for that, and it would be a fun modifier

>>535737371
Loser mentality

They should have regular Chargers on D10 anyways. I'm tired of always seeing behemoths and spore chargers.

What's best SC farm planet open right now? Phact Bay?

>>535737480
Dont worry, bugchaser, AH will hold your hand

>>535736727
>>535736815
I think a big problem is that Major orders should really be
>Retake [LOCATION]

When in reality they have recently been
>Retake [THREE LOCATIONS] from [LITERALLY JUST 50,000 CONFLAGRATOR DEVASTATORS]
>Hold [DIFFERENT FACTION LOCATION]
>Kill [5,000,000 FACTORY STRIDERS] with [CQC-5 COMBAT HATCHET]
>Gather [5,000,000 COMMON SAMPLES]
>Do not [COMPLAIN ABOUT SQUIDS] for [THREE WEEKS]
Minor Order
>Headshot 5,000,000 [ASCENDED OVERSEERS]
>Kill [50,000 LEVIATHANS] with [THERMITE]
>>535738023
it's what I'm using. not too bad for FRV's.

Some people here really dont like Napalm Barrage? I always take double barrage when possible, especially on bugs. It feels the most "right" thing to do when they call a breach

>>535737157
Yeah I dont like that either. Its a lack of planning on their part. I dont mind if they help us with MOs they want us to win, but I wish they did it in a more organic way like "hey guys, for the duration of this MO we will give you a free EAT strategem". The fact they've had to blatantly rig the MOs in our favor is unprofessional.

>>535739016
>"hey guys, for the duration of this MO we will give you a free EAT strategem".
Didnt they literally do that for the last one?
>"Hey guys, hes a free ORS with a 30 second CD"

>>535739183
Here's TWO* ORS with a 30 second CD

Did they nerf difficulty yet again? (~past 5-6 months).
I just went into Bugs 10 after having not played for the same amount, and it was literally a walk in the park. Didn't struggle at all and cleared a Mega-nest completely solo.

Im genuinely asking gayboy. Did they nerf everything again?

>>535740526
Just get lucky. I found another 100 yesterday too.

>>535740526
ive found like a dozen over the course of maybe 700 ingame hours

>>535738115
The dev team is like 29 Baskinators and Alexus' while they only have 1 Sven who actually works, I guarantee it.

>>535740526
There's also like a limit of 800SC that you can pick up every 5 minutes or so.
Anything more than that and your pick ups just don't count.

>>535739183
I should clarify. I mean they should do that from the get go, rather than doing it in the middle of the MO.

>>535740949
huh, now I'm wondering if I've ever hit that and not realized. Probably not.

Have you seen them on the frontlines though? I'd say dealing with a bit of shedding is more than worth it all things considered.

>>535744829
still 3/4

>>535746134
it's the only mission type that still generates any semblance of time pressure which was an important component of this game back when people still cared about it

>>535746134
Blitz is fine if you don't need samples for upgrades or secondary objectives for personal orders. The primary objective us usually easily knocked out in 2 minutes unless you're in a fucking city.

I once finished an automaton blitz in 45 seconds using an AT emplacement on a hill overlooking the map.

all games humanity has ever conceived are built to pressure you into a challenge

>>535744970
Tell me about it. The fur gets EVERYWHERE. Ran into a helldiver one some 3 months ago and I'm still finding some on my uniform.

>>535747136
Chewing gum is pressuring to you?
>all games humanity has ever conceived are built to pressure you into a challenge
You clearly never played any game if you think every game was a dick measuring contest and it also told me exactly what kind of person you are.
In other words, Opinion: Discarded.

So let me get this straight, we can save customized weapons but still don't have the ability to save loadouts?

>>535747743
let them cook anon stuff like this always take time

>>535747546
Competition and rankings are inherently good things. Games, much like everything else, are diminished by catering them to average IQ. Be a little Darwinistic for once. Not everyone deserves to be in. Some of us are only on this Earth to fail and provide contrast to the strong and capable. Let them.

>>535747743
I heard some cope that the lack of stratagem loadouts is to encourage people to experiment, but I just want to be able to quickly slap down the same 4 sentries every time for grinding eradication, that shit is not going to change. You get kicked if you bring anything else anyway.

>>535742654
They honestly need to add even more environment hazards into the game. We also need planet specific wildlife that could attack us or enemies

>>535748471
>We also need planet specific wildlife
When they can't even make regular enemy units without severely halfassing them?

>>535748471
oh cool, another reason for visibility to be impeded.

>>535747546
>Chewing gum is pressuring to you?
This is such a horrible way to read that metaphor I almost believe you're just baiting.

>You clearly never played any game if you think every game was a dick measuring contest
Nearly every game ever made has SOME sort of challenging aspect to it, competitive games, arcade games, board games, real life sports. Even slow and relaxing games can still "challenge" you into optimizing shit and solving problems, even if its not the main focus.
However, this whole tangent doesn't even really matter since the topic is Helldivers 2, a game with a time limit, lives, enemies, and a fail condition. You are playing a game that is made to put pressure on you while you try to win, and asking why they'd make the game like that?
The answer is that being pressured with a challenge is fun to most people.

unless you're one of those retards sticking to light pen guns for no reason, low visibility should never be a real problem

>>535748821
>This is such a horrible way to read that metaphor I almost believe you're just baiting.
Ever consider that maybe it was a dogshit metaphor?
>Nearly every game ever made has SOME sort of challenging aspect to it,
Youre acting like every challenge means it makes it automatically good. Do you think staring at the sun to see who can stare the longest is a good challenge too?

>>535748821
Thanks for the support anon but you're counterarguing a retard that only deserves to be baited until a lethal amount of rage is induced.

>>535749076
I realize that.

>>535749076

Anything I'm missing?

No game has ever been improved by getting dumbed down. None. Not once has this happened.

>>535749292
we need a new game by a different studio, one brimmed with workaholics that would rather hustle to the death than release crash prone broken dogshit

>>535749562

>>535749186
>No argument
Listen anon, just because someone disagrees with you doesnt mean theyre wrong. In fact, youre wrong. Why do you think the game survived when AH buffed everything? Why do you think people call for nerfs when they dont find something fun? Youre factually incorrect.

>>535749675
Hold your horses

>>535749867
>the game survived
the game is dying

Chewing is bullshit, I just wanna shove the entire cartoon hamhock down my throat and yummy big tummy eat the food...

>>535749867
the game was dying back then for the same reason its dying right now: half-baked content filled with bugs. saying the game was dying because of muh difficulty is just revisionism

>>535750298
So why do you think people dont like nerfs? If everyone is saying they dont like something then maybe youre wrong.

>>535748325
I have never heard of anyone getting kicked in an extraction mission

>>535749675
Voice Actress got bored and left, pls understand.

>>535750541
people don't like boredom and that's everything the past 10-ish months of content have been - boring. lack of a challenge is a big part of the reason why. refer to the pre-nerfed, inconsequential warstrider that gives pause to no-one but the utter bottom of the barrel (I bet that includes you)

>cater game to people who dont like nerfs
>be surprised when people who dont like nerfs are the only ones left playing the game
Golly, I wonder how that happened?

one could argue most games are dying all the time without support
helldivers just fucking eats ass because arrowhead refuses to learn from its mistakes of having inter-department communication
add onto that not bringing in outside help for help with the engine (Fatshark) to actually optimize for once
dunno how arrowhead has an extremely bomb marketing department since Magicka yet helldivers is so fucking broken it's insane
i wouldn't at all be surprised if the game well and truly dies and they just go 'yeah whatever' as postmortem but it could be easily saved it'd just take time
we will see.

>>535751015
Have you tried not playing the same god damn game for the past 10 months?
I want more shit for this game too, no doubt, but I've also grown bored of it after realising I've done all there is to it, anything else is purely for fun.
Coming back to HD2 after playing other shit is a refresher, mainly to realise what could've done better.

But for all we know, Arrowhead got their first actual POPULAR game, and they clearly show they have no idea what the fuck to do.

>>535751283
When have nerfs to player power in a PvE game ever been welcomed?

>>535751272
>why can't I instagib chargers and hulks with a weapon clearly designed for CC

>>535751410
Ultimatum, and its ability to shit on strata-jammers or detector towers.
Though that was the only nerf it really deserved, dunno about everything else related to it.

>>535751410
Rarely because they aren't needed since there are usually a multitude of difficulties ranging from extremely easy to extremely hard. This is what HD2 used to be and now the hardest difficulty we have is mildly challenging.

And yet barely anyone in this game outside of this thread is asking for player nerfs. Youre not the majority. Youre a loud minority on an already minority board. Youre the one in the wrong. Unless youre one of those "people" that unironically thinks everyone else is wrong because theyre enjoying it the "wrong" way.

>>535751314
I haven't played in a month and gave a hard time believing there will ever be anything worth coming back to. Vibes are lost

>>535751585
You ever lick a 9 volt battery as a kid? Did it fucking kill you or just tickle a little bit?
Why should the arc thrower be good at taking down hulks, chargers and such?

>>535751410
It's weird when I see people saying that player tools needs to be nerfed when new, harder enemies are introduced that rely on the strength of those tools to defeat them.

Like, sure maybe the quasar was a little too good for the bots, but now that war striders are here I don't really relish the concept of fighting them without one.

>>535732153

Just because I fried your brain so hard that you dont have a counter argument doesnt mean someone is esl, it means you lost the argument.

Best planet to find regular chargers? I never bothered to try and understand the constellation bullshit. For now I'm on Trandor because it's pretty looking and I can see far across the map.

>>535752229
Your point?

>>535751772
>Youre not the majority
That shouldn't be a factor in determining whether I'm correct. For every 99 divers that rushed head first onto squidslop back in May and gobbled it up with abandon, there was one diver that refused to. Who was right? The mob rushing to conclusions or the solitary defiant? Trick question it's the one that didn't waste a moment on awful content.

>>535707981
>Verdict but with less ammo
It's a Senator but with medium pen and a sink instead of being capped at 6 rounds. It's for when you want to take an oddball primary like the Eruptor and don't want to give up your support weapon for dealing with the odd voteless or whatever.

We get it, you never got love from your parents in your childhood, but can you shut the fuck up already? Nobody cares who you are. Nobody cares what you say. Nobody will ever care what you do on the internet.

>>535752198
I appreciate the attempt at a metaphor, and I'd encourage you to try again in the future, but in my case 'electricity' is the same both in the game and in my real life example, whereas the light from a flashlight and the sci-fi laser aren't. A+ for effort though!

>>535752456

So you think the rest of the playerbase is wrong and youre the only one whos right? Actual narcissism.

Unironically the most based individual. Squagies are the helldivers equivalent of lemmings.

>>535751493
It's shit at that too. When a dozen bugs jump you, why do you want to waste seconds having to charge? The blitzer is far better for chaff and it doesn't take up a strategy slot.

>Most of it is indeed wrong and should be ignored for feedback, yeah.
So you think AH should ignore the majority of the playerbase and cater to a very small minority who tie their sense of self to playing "hard" video games? And youre telling me that the game is dying from player buffs
You can cope all you like. It doesnt matter if youre right or wrong at this point. The majority has spoken and they clearly dont want what you want. Saying theyre "wrong" for not actually wanting something is actually so fucking delusional.

>>535753292

>>535753456
You're better off finding another room then lil fella! I'm already in this one

>>535753281
Don't mistake me for a squid-diver or anything of the sorts. I've my own quarrel with the faction as it is, both from a design perspective, unit composition, gameplay loop and how they generally feel to blast apart. Shooter games exist to satisfy our ever-present craving for violence, don't they? It's in your nature, after all.

All they did was make a 2 week-long Major Order of fighting squids, people now suffer fatigue from it. The only noticable changes they've done were some nerfs to the Overseers and the Harvesters. I'm not gonna talk about the Leviathan, because everyone and their mother already have done so.

Now. Beat. It.

>People want their game to be challen-ACKKK

>>535753468
The game is dying from Arrowhead's incompetence. Giving in to buff demands was a very prominent case of that incompetence showing itself.

Notice how it also seems to be akin in nature to a "Season" in other video games these days. You are in the "Heart of Democracy" story arc. You'd expect a lot more content, right?

Wrong.

All you get is weapon customisation, mega-cities, and one whole new bot unit. The squids? Who cares about squids?
The squids now get "zombie but fat and walks through walks", ONE overseer variant that shoots SuperValue Epoch rounds at you, the Leviathan, and the only good thing they have brought into this game and frankly should have more of - the Stingray.

But who am I kidding here? You should already know about how bad the "Helldivers 2 Situation" is. I'm saying the same things others have in the past months, and others will in the upcoming months. One must wonder why Arrowhead is so incompetent. But all we get, is the CEO of scamming telling you to shit your pants, like a true Indian Superpower enforcer.

I just want more content in this game. A few more guns to shoot. A few more mission types. Maybe even actual snow forest biomes.
The gaming industry has been in the shitter for the past 10 years, and seemingly no great advancements have been brought up to light. Unless you want to talk about RayTracing, AI-generated Frames, and other ludonarrative meta-kino buzzwords that make no sense.

>>535754754
Cool story, bro. The rest of the playerbase clearly doesnt care. You lost.

Honky, did you know that more than multiple people can make fun of you? I have made exactly one other comment regarding the arc thrower and it's >>535752117 you uppity bitch.

Reddit had a good idea for once.

>>535754908
We all lost. I'm just far enough ahead of the curve to see it.

>>535754474
They're not strangling anything, you self righteous nigger. I can see clearly how you come straight from reddit being such a preposterous little faggot.
Feedback may seem wrong to you because it's hurting you right in the fee fees and because you're the blackest gorilla nigger ever, but that's AH's market. You can go play really challenging genres or you can keep crying about le epic coop game not catering to you.

>>535755121
>We all lost.
Nah, just you. The majority got what they wanted. Youre the only one shitting your pants about how all the weapons are better.

>>535755205
First thing you learn about feedback is that it needs filtering in order to remove the plebeian touch. This is the step that Arrowhead neglected. The results of that mistake are Heart of Democracy, a completely abandoned faction, and the generally sorry state of the game.

Its wild how one small change can make all the difference, in the game. So... Mod up, Mr. Freeman. Mod up and install the eye glow.

>>535752996
It's a strategem and it doesn't perform against anything else. The blitzer, grenades, and K9 and tesla tower all seem to be electrical chaff clearing stuff. So it makes sense there would be an electrical heavy weapon.

>MO ends tomorrow

Jokes aside the story arcs are such rancid dogshit.

>>535755281
Say that again once EoS hits (max 18 months and that's the overtly optimistic estimate).

>>535755712
>have no special missions
>have no special locations
You will now be reminded of the TCS missions. Their activation, their defense, and shutting them down, alongside everything leading to blowing the fuck out of it.

You will now be put into a deprivation chamber for the foreseeable future until End of Service hits, and you are free to go.

>>535755712
it's depressing but almost everyone here could come up with and execute a more exciting storyline than Joel has

>>535755765
We would've hit EoS a few months after EoF if Alexus had been allowed to keep butchering every standout weapon

>>535755712
This game could really benefit from simple animatic cutscenee at the very least to give us some sort of story. Surely it wouldn't kill them to do sonething like that. Hell, it would make completing big event MOs a lot more fun too seeing what kind of mini cutscene we get because of it.

>>535755671
I doubt they'd do a significant update the week before launching to Xbox.

>>535755765
>"I hope the game dies just so I can prove my point!"
Textbook. Narcissism. Nobody should ever take your suggestions seriously.

>>535755989
I was reminded specifically of that. There were 2 or 3 unique mission types AND A UNIQUE PLANET BIOME for the Meridia arc. That was over a year ago. Has any set of MOs since then had a comparable amount of unique content in it?

>>535756068
somebody already explained to you that the issue then was content drought just like it is now, but at least the game was still fun

>>535756119
They can't even put together a cape within a working timeframe

>>535756189
no.

>>535756174
Your arguing with our resident shitposter. He's just spewing his usual shit for attention. Don't feed the troll and all that.

>>535756174
I don't hope for anything. I'm simply able to guarantee that Arrowhead will not be able to retain a substantial player base for all that much longer if they maintain this course. Unless the Xbox patch somehow defies all reasonable expectations even the holidays will see active players bleeding out.

>>535755989
I too remember when these clowns used to create unique maps for their MOs and then proceeded to recycle slop MOs after slop MOs with the same old tilesets. The most embarrassing one was when they tried to reuse Tien Kwan's biome only for Joel to realize that the map was literally removed from the game ages ago, so it was crashing people's games when they tried to deploy on it. Fucking joke of a dev team that doesn't even fucking communicate with eachother, honestly.

>>535756125
ODST warbond trailer at the very least
>>535756189
It's really strange how they completely stopped giving us cool unique missions for special events. It looked like the SE megacity invasion was gonna be limited to that event but they added them to most planets anyways. AH seems to have gotten scared of adding FOMO

>>535756501
Ok, bro.

>>535756612
Yeah I have FOMO
(Fear Of Major Orders!)

>>535756268
They wouldn't even have to do it for every single MO, just the major story ones, like when Meridia collapsed, we didnt even get to see it happen, they just sent us back to SE and gave us a low effort image switch on the galactic map

>>535755671
Nah
I think with the new influx of players they'll ramp up the squid black hole storyline but not throw a curveball like they did last time and build them up until they decide to finally drop cultist

>>535756612
>Super city missions undercooked, lacking rewards, functionally chafe against orbital and eagle strats
>Could put it back in the oven for more work, allowing it to ruminate in the mind of the players who "were there" fondly
>instead it becomes a mandatory theater of war for the majority of campaigns.

>>535756961
The problem with that option is that it requires several Swedish people to actually put in what they would call "hard work."

>>535756852
You reminded me of the people high on copium camping out at Meridia expecting a unique event to happen they could see before it started moving towards Super Earth, just to get sent to Super Earth automatically when that started happening because the devs are incapable of doing anything actually interesting in this game. With the amount of hope these swiggers have killed in this game I'm surprised anyone has any faith left in them at this point.

Alexus being released from the surstromming basement was the death knell for this game. We're can only watch as they're lowering the casket into the grave by providing shit warbonds with maybe one good item each, no meanigful bugfixes (unless they nerf players of course), no content, no performance increases, no filesize reduction, nothing.

>>535756189
I suspect the first arc of the galactic war as well as the first handful of warbonds were made by the A-list devs who are no longer working on HD2.

>>535756852
I remember when Meridia happened, and still had an operation open there.
Dived into a black hole, got probably a sneak-peek of the rare "Bangladesh" biome.

>>535757153
Can't wait to see which singular item from the Halo warbond will be permitted to not be third rate dogshit. Would be pretty meta if it ended up being the pistol.

Nerftranny lost. 60-day buffpatch sequel coming soon.

>>535756961
>instead it becomes a mandatory theater of war for the majority of campaigns.
This. It's not just that they brought it back so soon, it's that they are on most if not all planets in a sector. It doesn't help that they are all the exact same with no distinguishing features which will make the eventual second attack on SE not as unique because you'll just be running through the exact same locations as every other planet

i like duckbill breaker s&p

>>535757149
Then there's the fact that in the Station 81 livestream, we could see meridia from the orbit of SE, meanwhile on widows harbour they didn't even bother putting it in the skybox or anything. Same goes for all the planets that had to be evacuated before Meridia destroyed them. Countless of cool opportunities wasted for no other reason than laziness

>>535758332
They couldn't even be assed to insert a 2d.png of the dss on the planets it orbits during missions

>>535756189
I think I remember hearing about how a bunch of AH devs left the studio after HD launched.
Why they left, I have no idea.

>>535755671
>Is there a chance for a happening?
no since the xbox update is in the 26th pipe dream is they announce a new warbond tomorrow since they always a new warbond a week before

>>535758332
>cool opportunities wasted for no other reason than laziness

>Can't see random abandoned termicide towers in the background on planets that had termicide applied to them.
>Can't see traces of the first galactic war on Choepessa 4, which looks like a wasteland because the entire planet was razed to the ground with orbital barrages back then - as an armour description explains.
>Can't see the DSS in orbit on planets it's orbiting.
>No Illuminate ships orbiting their stronghold planets.

They could have done so much to make their world feel more interesting, but it's clear that they are far outside of their scope in actually getting anything done. They're a mid-level indie dev team at best. It's just pathetic.

Ex-380HE enjoyer and biggest shill here.
I stopped using it completely when they shadow nerfed the explosion radius of each salvo after the big buffs patch that also buffed all enemies health pools.
The orbital went from obliterating everything in its range to barely clearing enemies reinforcements.
It was double nerfed and they didn't do anything to compensate for it and completely forgot it exists.

This came to me while I was thinking about bombers, but I think it would be kinda kino if they added a mission where you and your squad pilot a bomber and you have to go around a map bombing different targets(e.g., a massive mega nest kilometers or miles long, bot factories where they produce stuff such as fabs, striders, mega units(lol)).
You'd have an entirely different set of stratagems focused on AA, since each faction will send shit out to murder or inconvenience you. For example, calling in an eagle AA to take care of shriekers or a buffed version of shriekers, or having to input a code to clear any spores/interference that block the bomber's view. Also, rather than call down sentries, you input codes to manufacture them onboard and one can choose where to send them off, be it starboard, port, aft, or the bow. Same thing would apply to blue stratagems, where they're made on board, though I'm having trouble with what special blue strats could be brought on a bomber.
While the pilot does his thing piloting, another guy has to drop and aim the bombs, and the other two man turrets or use AT weapons to protect the craft from lil shits. In the case of squids, maybe something similar to xcom except you pilot the interceptor and shoot down ufos and everyone pilots a separate craft. I realize this is all kinda silly and unrealistic due to the state of the game, but atp there ain't much to grasp onto 4 now(or ever really).

I shouldn't be upset, but I am. I guess I can rp my helldiver raging while the super destroyer is on a defense assignment or in for maintenance.

the hover pack is pretty viable, it’s just really dependent on map and planet type

>>535781193

Everything is viable, even smoke weaponry.
In fact I can't wait for a fucking smoke primary, secondary, support weapon and the same for EMS.

>>535781517
you get on top of mesa rock formations and snipe everything from afar. the height prevents anything from reaching you, but you need to be really high up to be safe, and it also gives you line of sight to everything on the map without having to reposition much

in my opinion, that’s a poor use case for the hover pack. you’d want to start fights from the height advantage

they should make up some more interesting MO challenges
kill count/liberation/sample gathering is pretty boring

>>535781639
If Arrowhead wanted to do something really cool, they'd make the smoke primary a combo weapon that synergized with either a booster or armor passive that let you see enemy outlines through smoke. Imagine a big heavy ASh-12 sort of thing laid out like an OICW, you fire big fat smoke grenades into a base or a patrol, then you can pick enemies off as you move through the smoke.

Le realism

>>535783402
Stuff like this is why MO and the whole narrative become boring. Your win and lose has been determined. Nevermind that this whole blunder wouldn't happen had they categorized behemoth as charger or just use behemoth as the MO parameter.

>>535786004
What's funny is that AH is so retarded they don't know that any number multiplied by 0 is still 0.
They really tried their hardest to help the community and ended up outing themselves as never ever touching their live server version game.

Undocumented Changes:
>Projectile
Standard damage increased from 0 to 300
Durable damage increased from 0 to 300
Demolition Force increased from 0 to 50
Stagger Force increased from 0 to 60
Push Force increased from 0 to 15

Ah yes, the utility stratagem that you toss on yourself now kills you 100% if you get caught in the blast radius.

>>535787368
bring it up to standard with the gas and ops?
eagle smoke strike still had the projectile damage values of the bombs used by the regular airstrike
no reason why it shouldn't apply to the smoke as well
it should have been done a year ago

by your logic, EAT does that too

>>535787368
the delivery system for orbitals is super destroyer guns
a smoke shell from an orbital cannon would still hurt to get hit by
makes you wonder if they're going to buff OPS or otherwise make it stronger through ship modules, because damn what's the point when you can do the same shit with something that also has a secondary effect

Just a reminder that Eagle Rocket Pods deals less than half the damage of Smoke Eagles

So what's going on with the CHARGER RAMPAGE? Is it all on d6 or something? Is it interesting enough to log on?

you will find that Arrowhead do not mind how bloated and half useless our arsenal has become
if every item needed to have its unique role Sven would lose the ability to offload minimum effort warbonds onto us so they instead gaslight the community into believing a lean & balanced & well thought out arsenal isn't even desirable

>>535783402
If they actually get to a 100% projected win I mite log in to a few random d6's just to see what 1000% chargers look like.For now I am content to sit and watch.

>>535787778
>makes you wonder if they're going to buff OPS
the ops is fired from a tree gun turret, isn't it?
i think it should just be buffed to passively regen up to three uses, with each subsequent shell loading 10% faster

>>535787778
>what's the point when you can do the same shit with something that also has a secondary effect
for the orbital smoke to destroy a structure it has to directly impact the structure with a projectile, while the OPS only needs to touch it with its explosion. OPS also has a lower cooldown

why

Losing? Not allowed. We only win.

>>535781517
Not him. The only use that I have for the hover pack is for the "exterminate bugs" missions. I'll use it to perch myself ontop of something silly and then just shoot at stuff.

>>535771654
It's stuck at 99.45-6 now USTZ are going to sleep. AH fucked up.Only a blatant rig/2000% charger spawn will fix it.

>>535787808
I'm still only seeing 1 or 2 per d6 mission. It's over

Any lobbies explore the 1000% chargers yet on d10? Bug lobby DOKO?

>>535789168
it's a base charger spawn rate buff
not behemoth

If I wake up and this MO is a last-minute win, I'm gonna be pissed.
Then again if I wake up and this MO is a last-minute loss, I'm also gonna be pissed. Either way, I'm going to call Joel a rigger.

god damnit sweden this could've been fucking cool I logged on just to see the SWARMS of chargers and you're telling me these fucking swiggers fucked even that up!?

that's honestly a fair point. I forgot you had to gather all 7 dragonballs to see any information about the current MO

Swiggers... you can up the spawn rate of chargers to 1000 times... but a 1000% spawn increase times 0% spawns is still 0 fucking spawns.

It would be funnier if we fail the MO and Tranny Park 2 is postponed forever anyway.

ESL

Nope. I didn't see the differences. It's all just hunter and scavengers on D6.

>>535790618
I have a feeling the bile titan spawn caps they forced onto D8-10s to stop 20 of them appearing a year ago was also put onto impalers and chargers also and D6 would probably have an even lower spawn cap.Swiggers do not understand there own game.

How can anyone stomach AC on bugs. It burns ammo fast, has stationary reload, and takes too long to kill heavies without taking account of chaff surrounding you. I just realized this bringing it on D6.

redpill me on gas and why i should start using it

I'm tired of bug MOs. I get teamkilled way more fucking often on bug MOs than on any other front. Bugdivers cannot be trusted with eagle cluster, orbital airburst, orbital napalm, gatling sentries, mortar sentries, and the ABRL.

>>535791172
On bug you just go solo and pray the next breach is on another poor soul

>>535791120
It kills things fast, it can close a billion holes, the reload speed is fast if you don't empty the magazine, and the only heavy that it is bad at killing is the BT.

>>535791145
I single handedly soloed 3 bug breaches in a row with a gas build

>>535791145
After the recent nerf to status effects thanks to Alexus, you shouldn't use gas. If you're the host you can use gas.

This is why I just bring EAT. Primary is supposed to be primary.

Then I can focus to truly what matters instead of playing dark souls with the chaff while the rest are clearing the map

>>535791276
>and the only heavy that it is bad at killing is the BT.
you can do that pretty fast, I'd say it's faster at kiling BTs than behemoths.

>>535791145
mk1 lasts like 6 seconds and deals 25 damage per second so 150 damage guaranteed on inflict.
mk2 lasts 10 seconds and deals about 250

This also CCs them and finishes them of the moment they get tinked.
The clouds linger for 10 to 15 seconds.

Morons the CHARGER SPAWN RATE IS CAPPED.

First the XP calculation breaks, then this. All without any patches. The game is literally falling apart at the seams.

>>535792714
LMAO they are fucking with all the spawn dials trying to figure out how to make it work. Botdivers are reporting 15 hulks in a single bot drop rn.
