Liberty Edition>Previous>>491345309>WHAT IS HELLDIVERS 2?HELLDIVERS 2 is a 2024 co-op, squad-based, PvE 3rd person shooter for PC and PS5 where players fight against hordes of alien insects and robots to Spread Democracy. Players wage war on a number of contested planets, each with a different environment, completing as many objectives as possible within a procedurally generated area while constrained by a time limit. With enough successful operations a planet can be completely liberated, and the player base must cooperate to try to liberate the entire galaxy by focusing and combining their efforts as much as possible. https://store.steampowered.com/app/553850/HELLDIVERS_2/https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers-2/>WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST HELLDIVERS GAME?Released in 2015 for PC, PS3/4 and PS Vita, the original HELLDIVERS is the origin of the setting and basic gameplay formula of HELLDIVERS 2. The major difference is that HELLDIVERS is a top-down shooter, its mechanics being based primarily on Arrowhead's previous game Magicka.https://store.steampowered.com/app/394510/HELLDIVERS_Dive_Harder_Edition/https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/helldivers/>INFORMATION RESOURCEShttps://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Helldivers_Wikihttps://helldiverstrainingmanual.com/https://helldiverscompanion.com/https://helldivers.io/https://invadersfromplanet.space/helldivers-2/>NEWSAugust 6: Escalation of Freedom Update https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4339865428695343823August 13: A message from the devs https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4339866697736692015August 20: 1.001.004 Patch https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/6992487606095723693August 21: 1.001.005 Hotfix https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4252047773008305837>CURRENT WARBONDAugust 8: Freedom's Flame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXngA0CO33c

I hereby declare this thread open!
Do you guys only play on 10?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79DijItQXMMJust gonna leave this here
Hellbomb's thoughts on the direction the game is trending
So have the cuckold swedes gotten their shit together yet? Haven't played since June.
>>491463850Doesnt everyone here?
>>491463850I play solo 8 because it's the sweet spot between ass rape (5) and ass rape (10)
>>491463850Sometimes I join a pub 10. I like pubbing around 6-9 more.
>>491463850i only play d10 anon lobbies, 0 losses, minimal fuss
>>491463850D8 regular, D9 at max, D10 has too much shit for me. D7 if I want to turn my brain off and just play for fun
>Eruptor has new firing and reload soundsNot sure if i like it more or not
>>491463196Good morning, I hate swiggers.
>>491464970New new or is this the new from a couple weeks ago?
>>491463850Sometimes, but D8 is the comfy zone and I prefer to stay there. It's not like there is anything worthwhile in D10 anyway.
>>491465152probably from a few weeks ago
>chilling, minding your own business and doing high brow ayy lmao stuff>get airdropped a whole fucking planet full giant murderous bugs with aidsDudes gonna be so mad haha
>>491463854Still funny the 1200th time Alexus, stay nerfing!
>>491465573>he thinks all of AH isn't like thisngmi
>>491465543you forgot>airdropped a bug planet using your own technology that a bunch of monkeys stole 100 years ago
I just want them to un-nerf the Breaker shotgun and Railgun. I miss my launch-day fun.The game, with all the content they've added, but with NONE of the dumb nerfs they've implemented, would be such a phenomenal game.
>>491465945I miss the bulky mag on the breaker, the new one looks so stupid
Multiple times tonight I encountered teams that, once the Pelican landed, would not get in, even if someone else did. I'd ping the damn ship from within, but the idiots outside would rather chuck reds and then get left behind.
>>491465945Hasnt the railgun been unnerfed? It feels pretty great on bots and can strip a behemoth leg in 3 hits.
>>491466490>Hasnt the railgun been unnerfed?
Holy shit I'm dying
>>491466490yes, but the wording is vague and lacks numbers.
>>491465493Yeah, you'll get used to it. Its not really better or worse okay, probably actually a little bit worse. I can't even recall what the original sounds like anymore to be honestly; been using it a lot so I've since adapted.That it seems to have gotten a shadow nerf is a bigger concern for me.
>>491466490Not completely but unsafe is back to pre-nerf levels.
>>491463196Today I learned that Neutralize Orbital Cannons is Oops! All Superfortresses and I love it.
Woke up early before work. Have time for an op. Any lobbies?I will be listening to Pat Benetar so its gonna be WILD.
>>491465543>finally clean it up>go back to meditating or whatever>ponder the origins of your new warp gate>PPPSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH...BBRRAAAAAAPPPPPPP>the skies turn foggy and yellow and there is a giant mushroom in your backyard>at least there are free AMD parts lying around now>build a new PC from them>it gains sentience and decides to unionizefucking super earth, man
>>491466490No but there is sizeable amount of retards that think it's "in a good spot rn" because it can dmg weakpoints.I don't negotiate with Railgun upplayers.
>>491467280>unsafeDo people realy use that?
>>491467570Its pretty legit on bots and helps conserve your limited ammo from aimpunch ruining shots.
>>491466490Its ability to do absurd amounts of damage was a PS5 bug, without the bug it wasn't able to do that much even pre-nerf anyways.As I continue to maintain, it's fucking stupid that you have a weapon with 20 reserve ammo and a charge-up super mode that's incapable of killing tanky enemies even if you have the armor penetration. The only heavy enemies it can reliably kill are Hulks (eyeshots) and Rocket Striders, the rest is just tickle territory. Ideally it should take a maximum of four or five charged shots to kill any heavy enemy in the game if you hit its primary weak point every time, if you're exposing yourself to danger by charging the shot repeatedly it should fucking have some impact.>b-but muh Charger Behemoth legs!Three shots to strip the leg armor is unacceptably slow, and is more a symptom of how bullshit Charger Behemoth is than anything. Regular anti-tank should be able to strip leg armor in one shot regardless of momentum
>>491466949>>491467463So how is it different from launch besides that playstation hosted lobbies cant 1tap titans anymore?
>>491463196D10 bots. Neutralize Orbital Cannons. Lezgoooooooooooooooosteam://joinlobby/553850/109775241234692543/76561198119292457
>>491468063full damn
>>491468063>>491468241You have got to be fucking kidding me
>>491467915People considered burning a charger leg point blank for 1.5 seconds a meta strategy, 3 railgun shots is almost as goo. And its about as fast as any of the AT available if you factor in reloads/calldowns. I understand thats because most AT sucks but still.
>>491467978The number of enemies that it is meant to deal with has massively increased. Meaning it has ammo economy issues it never had before. So even though its regained a lot of its power, its still weak compared to an AC/AMR/HMG/LC that can hurt a similar tier of enemies, but have significantly more ammo reserves. Its still a great gun at the mid difficulties.
>over half of all players on a single planet>still -1% an hourJJJJJJOOOOOEEEEEELLLLLLLL
>>491468569its hard for it not to feel arbitrary and pointless
>>491468460You're not wrong but I think its worth pointing out that its recently "won back" some of that ammo efficiency versus the others you listed vs the rocket chickens. A 1 tap on them IS pretty nice.
>>491467978Turns out the railgun was never that strong. Anyone who wasn't a cum guzzling faggot saw this coming
>>491468460I would argue the other way, the amount of enemies its realy good against has increased (chickens and hulks) so its better than ever on high diff. 20 shots can get you an almost comparible amount of kills compared to AC and AMR seeing as you need only 1 hit compared to the 2 or 3 hits they often need, its just that missing is very punished.
>>491463850I play whatever the matchmaker decides>gets diff2
>>491460384Hope you have fun, keep your eye out for choke points and lines of enemies.
>>491468425>3 railgun shots is almost as goo. And its about as fast as any of the AT available if you factor in reloads/calldowns.It's at minimum 10 seconds to just open up the leg. You still have to actually shoot the leg afterwards as well.Doesn't even stagger shit that matters anymore lol
>D8 bugs>game is going swimmingly>on extraction>30 seconds left>retard throws a 380mm in the middle of the extract for no reason>kills three teammates>one of which didn't get on the shuttle>like 40 samples left behind>"Sorry :/"How severe does one's cerebral palsy need to be to achieve this?
>>491469696Are you sure he didn't get ragdolled while holding the stratagem ball? Or did he just toss it for memes because the mission was over?
>>491469780He was tossing 380's way too close during the entire gameNot only did I see him toss in on the beacon, he did the same the previous game. In that game noone died to it somehow
Without complaining, how do we fix bugs so it isn't a running simulator with bullet sponges? IMO a good start would be having a way to kill the>implierby destroying its tentacles
>>491470330Remove alpha commandersRework all weakpoints to be actual video game weakpointsReplace warriors with alpha warriors at high diff
>Railgun>600 damage>60 to durableIs that accurate?
>>491470330Simplify the armor system and remove durable damage.
>>491468354Yeah we just finished but I also made the mistake of leaving my settings on public, so a total noob joined and wasted half our reinforces. That's on me.
>>491470330Nerf hp and or armor for most if not all bugs. Up spawns so they block of routes/objectives and you need to fight through them.
Why the fuck does fog make my game not drop frames but run in slowmotion instead
>>491470901>Up spawnsEngine can't take that. Try again
>>491470330Restart over on ue5
Thoughts?
>>491463850D10 with hdg, D8 with my friend
>>491468763it was that good. We had nothing else back then and the railgun was like having a rapidly reloading and mobile AT rifle. It deserved the nerf it got but then arrowhead did a 180 on AT and decided to let them actually deal with armor, until behemoths were added.
>>491471690Sony won't fund that. Try again
>>491467168it's probably a devastator bug. Or maybe alexus snuck in some changes to their stats
>>491471283Oh, sorry.Plan B is stalker and spore(fart) varients of ALL enemies that replace all regular spawns.
>>491472454Based and Alexuspilled
Someone post the pic of pileofshit saying the eruptor was nerfed because it was using the orbital airburst.I want to get mad.
>>491473076
>>491463850D5 to chill, D8 with randos and D10 with /hdg/
>>491473571It would have been so fucking easy to just give it the fucking frag grenade shrapnel or the spike plant shrapnel rather than just remove the shrapnel all together.What the fuck if their structure in this company? Why isn't anybody signing off on the decisions of these monkeys? The shrapnel seems to have been done without the knowledge of the two top guys in the company, the flamethrower thing was also done with Johan or Shams even knowing about it.
How is this even possible. D8, 5 hulks, 3 tanks, a factory strider and 12 rocket striders in a single drop, aimbotting me through a sandstorm one tap kill, every single time I put down emplacement I get immediate rocket strider one-shot, hulks head shotting me through the sand storm, cannon turrents sniping me through a command center with no LOS, strider rockets ragdolling me from across the map, even the fucking rocket raiders never missed. WHAT THE FUCK LET ME PLAY THE FUCKING GAME.
>>491471701Sissy boi
>pandion with 3% rateThis is truly a suffering.Would it be theoretically doable to conquer in following sequence: Fori Prime -> Gacrux -> Pandion ?>>491462912Keep farming samples at level 6 as it gives you ultra rare.You gonna need a lot of rare samples (not ultra rare) though.Make sure you have hangar upgrade increasing number of bombs. This is extremely useful as you will have 2 x 500kg bombs instead of one.>>491463850D10 with randos all the time. The failure rate is negligent so far. Though bots gives me very hard time.
>>491474150Are the massive waves of enemies challenging? Yes. But anybody who claims aimbotting just has a skill issue. If you learn to anticipate waves of fire, habitually prone while stimming, monitor your cover, stun enemies — it does not feel particularly aimbotty. Sometimes, yes, but overall nah git gud
>>491471690>UE5Actual retard shitter
>>491470330Make bugs weaker but make them more numerous. It should be strenght through numbers not individual strengthAlso make the BT's stomach take damage from small arms fire and fix charger's movement
>>491474292>Would it be theoretically doable to conquer in following sequence: Fori Prime -> Gacrux -> Pandion ?What would be the point of that?
>>491474540t. exclusively d10 bots player. If mobility is consistently proving to be an issue, consider either jump pack, or, less ideally, supply pack. Mobility is not some arbitrary variable on higher difficulties, it's the difference between getting stunlocked between points of cover. Cover and quick-response tactics are everything on D10 bots.bugdivers continue playing with your tasty crayons
Why there is no flame variants for bug's?>Stalker rubs your ass with flaming tongues AAAIIEEEOOO
Does the fatass 200 armor in the superstore actually offer more survivability on bots over a normal heavy with fortiifed?
>>491474936Fuck that, give us arc variants for bugs>Stalker fries your balls with electrified tongueBZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTT AAAUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>491474960Feels about the same except ugly.
>>491474960My key problem with heavy armor every single time is that you are literally so slow, you simply cannot escape encounters. You *bring the encounters with you*. Meanwhile your more competent, less encumbered teammates are already halfway done with the objectives 300m ahead of you
>>491475146My problem with light armor is that you just die when something looks at you. Meanwhile i can reload comfertably under the angry gaze of a hulk (i love fire resist).
>>491475858Just don't die shitter
>>491475858Arguable. I mean light medic armor and (aside from how impressively ugly it is) between having 6 stims and good cover discipline, I think it is amongst the best. Even medium armor will get you stuck a lot I find
>>491475991>just don't get hit by any stray shoteasier said than done and i already know it happens to you toofuck i even get double tapped in my medium fortified on a regular basis by hulks + scouts and BRRRTd by a devastator with nearly 100% accuracy and it makes me seethe every time
>>491476137*main. I was distracted. Also by stuck, I mean so slow that you can't efficiently escape enemy encounters
>>491476179When you see the burst of lasers and 7 out of 12 hit you you already know its over, on Tarsh i usually got spooked by the shield devs after rounding big trees and just straight up blasted. If i didnt seethe so much, i would say its kino, i do not mind it if the team is doing well, but if its pubs and we are struggling i MALD
>>491476526consider using real words nigger
>>491476137Medic armor is probably the best, but its so god awfull ugly im not touching it until they change it. Looks > usefullness.
>>491476935Suck on my left nut faggot
>mfw been smashing out Stratagem Hero when bored of the actual game>can effortlessly recall a code for any single one 8/10Well fuck, looks like the Anki method works. Time to go back to /DJT/
>>491473571>we were using orbital airburst shrapnel>swedes utterly refuse to ctrl+c, ctrl+v, change name to "shrapnel_2", and change the damage value I can't with these guys
>>491477060Use the Halo armour. It has the medic bonus and doesn't look like ass.
>>491478212>use the armour you haven't been able to get for monthsnow why didn't i think of that
>>491478212>the eternal fomo suityou can't come on my d10 runs if you don't have it
>>491478426Codes are like 2 dollars nigga
>>491478426Buy it from a pajeet on ebay like I did.
>>491478462>>491478515>limited run of codes>people horded them for resalethanks for increasing the value of my fomo suit
>>491478212Damn I wish I knew about this game earlier. I only discovered it in June.
Play the Autocannon. It will only keep getting more important.
>>491478572>people hoard codes hoping they'll be worth something down the line>playerbase drops by 90% overnight, so there's more codes in circulation than people wanting them
>>491463850Yes, and it's more d9.1. Bring on d11 super duper helldive.
>>491478817This is a trap. AH nerfs based on pick rate, so if everyone here starts using the AC it will be nerfed for sure
>>491463850D7 for a chill experience/capped on everything. D9 if I need stuff or I’m having a gamer moment. Haven’t done D10 yet.
>>491478952cool fantasy, but the armor code went out at launch, and the game was still pushing half a million in the first month
>>491474540If you prone against bots you going to get head shot within 2 seconds.
>>491470565Alpha commanders aren't that bad. Just lower their health pool a little bit.
>>491473571Shrapnel didn't exist. Don't believe everything you hear online : )
>>491479048AC got a decent amount of nerfs actually. Like how shrieker nest globules now tank an entire mag whereas before it went down after 2-4 hits. Or how heavy devs got incremental increases to their explosive resistance, scout strider had it doubled outright, new strider is a bullet sponge for explosive weapons, same goes for barrager tank etc. Autocannon itself isn't being changed but it's slowly being pulled down regardless by these asinine explosive resistance buffs. Eventually it'll be so bad that users of Spear etc will feel the extra weight as well and lose a bunch of sweet break points.
>>491479594>don't gaslight yourself>let me gaslight you insteadHow supremely noble.
>>491478212What kind of hoop do i need to jump through to get it?
>>491470330Alright, here me out..
>>491479048Nah it's the devs favorite gun even though they suck with it. It's been a top choice since launch and they haven't touched it. AC is forever immune
>Piledshit now wants to nerf stims, team wipe respawns, and the 4 most useful boostersincredibly fucking grim
>>491479856>look up helldivers 2 twitch drop code>pick a seller>???>you have a code
>>491479914you want to kstyle the tentacles?
>>491416168no its the same. The difference is one rib less on the mag and half the magazine stack is made up of 4 ribs, so its 12,5% longer for 25% more bullets, kinda convenient numbers.one eight of the magazine stack = 5 bullets. If that math checks out than the unchanged internals like the plate and spring have to make up 50% of the stack height!tldr the 3d model excuse is made up bullshit at best
>>491479914>game is called GunZ>there's more swords than guns
>>491480209Thanks, i might pig out. Atleast the money doesnt go to the swede right?
I like the torcher in the context of using it with the guard dog.
>>491479281there are no insults powerful enough to express just how empirically untrue your statement is and how unintelligent you are for making it
>>491480526>I like the Torcher when using it with something that can actually kill
>>491480139If he did these things I would actually stop playing.
yeah im thinking its going to be kino
>>491480139Where did you get this info
>>491480869>giving the swedes even more money
>>491480791thisI never understood the notion that guard dog can redeem low dps primaries or supportsobviously even with your doggo pulling its weight you're still agreeing to get cucked in damage output and giving your squad mates that much more extra work
>>491480375also i just notices>but a reduced rate of fire>350>350you cannot make that shit upmaybe the muslims will actually improve that shithole, didnt arabs invent math and shit?
>>491480791It's more so that the torcher has nice synergy with the guard dog's reloads, since it can spew out fire and kill chaff while it reloads. But also, the guard dog is a good answer to brood commanders, and can cover your ass during your own reloads/running away because there's just too much shit around you. All the flamers could do with having either a stagger or a slow to help them, but right now they're not that bad for allowing guard dog to grab you 500+ kills a game. And no, not Rover. Rover is fucking garbage.
>>491480937It was just 3.69 euro, i think its fine bro, if you buy it too the swedes can buy a dildo
>>491481102>DCS fires a single bullet at a timeInstead of 2? Weapon descriptions man.
>>491480875His discord Q&A yesterday. >we want to add healing support equipment, but also stims would overshadow then so we'll probably nerf them>team wipes aren't punishing enough, we're thinking of making it drop you at spawn or last completed objective>those 4 boosters are definitely too strong, but we don't want to nerf them (for now)
>>491481262>if you buy it too the swedes can buy a dildoNot after the 75% taxes they have to pay so the goverment can import more muslims.
>>491481519I don’t understand why they want to add a bunch of shit nobody will pick.
This game being such a worldwide success and a clusterfuck is causing the rest of the world to become aware of swigger "work" (vacation) cultureI hope the rest of the developed world will react by no longer doing any business with those fucks in any capacity
>>491481519>these boosters are basically mandatory because the effects they provide are actually noticeable, instead of killing you for being anywhere near a hellpod drop>instead of making them baseline via ship upgrades or buffing the effectiveness of boosters that basically do fucking nothing, we're going to just make the game feel worse, as we have been alreadythanks
>>491481519>AH: we dont want to balance for the sake of balance>also AH:
>>491463850Haven't even tried it
>>491482014unironically it's the best argument as to why we have to end the leisuremaxxing / welfare state fad and go back to a more disciplinary form of society.
reminder that pileshed has 50 days of vacation left but heroically came back anyway to save the gamepraise our hero
>"Hey, AT weapons losing 1 point of damage unless you dive forward is annoying, any plans of changing that?">piledshit: "Yeah, damage is based off of projectile velocity with heavier projectiles having lower damage falloff. So we'll be fixing it by having it round the damage up instead of down!">instead of gutting such a useless system entirely
>>491481959Rep-gun is from HD1.
>>491463850>extreme anal rape enemies>giga fortress/nest that's just a bunch of bases/nests glued together, which are either impossible to breach or a cakewalk depending whether or not you brought barrages>1 whopping extra super sample (that you can't spend on anything if you have all the upgrades and won't go over the cap)>4 rares and 2 super samples if you babysit a head/egg all the way to extract (which you won't be using on anything either)>it's just D9 but worse in every aspect, with practically no rewards whatsoeverNo
>>491482462it's fine, the current global order is basically fucked and they're going to have to start doing real work soon anyways
>>491467458>it gains sentience and decides to unionizeevery fucking time!
>>491482607Don't even need barrages to trivialize fortresses, just a good spot to commando them from.
>>491482462This, we need more US style wageslavery in every part of the worldOnly when swedes work two jobs to rent a one room apartment while starving will we reach utopia
>>491482710I hope you're right. I want to see all the normies despair as they realize that their best days aren't ahead of them.
>>491482971unironically. Burgers have it a lot easier than certain EU welfare state residents. Look at the average cost for rent and housing in Germany. Spoiler alert: it's well in excess of 200% the first world average. In a country where workers have to hand over more than half their gross income to the state. Socialism is the most criminal and damaging ideology ever conceived.
>>491483496yes, mister goldberg. Having no PTOs, no sick days, and going into medical debt is truly the superior world order.
>>491482984>I want to see all the normies despair as they realize that their best days aren't ahead of them.people will always make due. you, however, will be a permanent miserable failure
>>491480290Unironically yes.
>>491482594Nobody is going to pick that shit in HD2 because you don’t need to be nut to butt on the screen. Also a huge percentage of deaths are either instant OR you take some damage and get ragdolled into a finisher. A healing gun isn’t going to do shit unless they make the stim an actual slot you can swap out nobody is going to use this shit.
>>491484829the only correct way to have this in game would be like the break action shotgun. you can't pick it with your loadout, but it will spawn on planet POIs
>>491483680Europeans are obsessed with not working and not keeping their money.
>>491483727Man lives to work. People need purpose. We all would be happier and less diseased if not for several generations of unsustainable nanny state antics.
>>491483496You don't deserve to live in the middle of Munich. Go live somewhere else.

>>491481519why are you only mentioning one half of each of these segments, doom nigger?
>>491474732Pandion reclaim rate would drop to 0%?And it would be cool AF to see how front is split
Can you still solo D10 like you used to solo D9?I'm personally having a lot of issues, mainly the new enemies being everywhere and oneshotting you with every attack.
what the fuck is a chaosdiverwhat the fuck is chaosdivers
>>491486612retards that think that griefing other players is a good way of expressing their dissatisfaction with the swedes being retarded
>>491481519>>491480139>doesn't want to nerf stims but regrets making them very good>he is correct about teamwipes>says nothing about boosters except for how they used to be one time use and bought with creditsfaggot
>>491486507seen a good amount of videos on youtube of people doing it. probably relies on what types of spawns you are getting though
>>491486507I do. You have to be able to rug the occasional surprise patrol to get enough space. Stagger weapons are best for that. Extraction is bullshit unless you cheese it, also fortresses can be bullshit if you get unlucky with the turrets. I use autocannon, smokes, senator, plas punisher, precision strike, walking barrage, EMS turret. When I see barrager tanks I just bail. Also you don't want a seed with stupid amounts of rocket devastators.
>>491486507Some missions you can, some you probably can't. You wont see a video of someone doing all 3 missions in an op solo on D10.I'd love to see it.
Which boosters does pileofshitstedt want on the chopping block?

If you direct hit someone, it functions just as a normal stim. If you miss, the impact creates a volatile greenish-blue cloud of healing mist that up to 4 divers can run through to get stimmed. This would produce an exciting dynamic of deciding between snatching your fren from the clutches of death with a direct hit or spawning the perfect healing cloud straight between multiple bleeding heckdudes. This pistol would turn any warbond into an instant winner, even if the rest of the items are trash. It would be the very first pistol that can actually match GP in utility. And stims could remain untouched.>b-but almost everyone would use this pistolSo what? It wouldn't be a godmode. You'd still have to hit it or reach the cloud during its very short duration. People would still die often enough. But at least they could RP as field medics and try to prevent deaths in fun ways.
>>491480660where's your webm going prone in front of any bot that is targeting you?
>>491484829>nobody is going to use this shitI need a heal gun for my smoke, supply, shield relay pure support build that will make everybody quit on the loadout screen they dont realize how helpful I'll be
I just really miss the first few days when everyone was still wearing black and yellow, if you saw a player over level 10 they were some kind of elite no-lifer, and we were just a ragtag bunch of goofballs trying our best The game just doesn't feeeel the same
>>491490303knowledge and experience always steal those feelings away
I told you guys Pilestedt was a part of the problem. His PR schtick is good but ultimately he's the same brand of retard as the balance team.
redpill me on the hmg emplacement
>>491486989fucking swedesliterally worse than jewshow do faggot swedes feel knowing the entire world hates them?? knowing them they probably fucking like it
>>491490693amazing if you have a nice position for it and can prioritize targets well enough to avoid getting annihilated by rocketsI wouldn't bring it to bugs due to tentacle cheese
>>491489629So what does he want me to do? Thank the devs every time the game crashes, a disconnect happens or the fps drop down to 15?Nerfing everything fun really seems more and more like pure spit from them, AHs way to get back at us for not worshipping them.
>>491490839it's still solid on bugs but yeah, impliers take it down a notch if they lock onto you
>>491490839well i just got kicked a second after dropi blame it on the hmg emplacement

>>491490693It's an excellent point defense option that shreds anything that isn't a tank coming at you. Properly used, it can wreck an entire bot drop without any issues.It's countered by fog and rocket chickens, though.
>>491489053Don't forget to tip your boss

alright, im calling it quiti dont know what changed but this patch and the planet selection isnt fun anymore and with ragdoll just nerfed (lmao) i dont think they will touch that ever again.there is just no fun left and the habit has lost its addiction
>>491494156Same to be completely honest. It's a shame. I have 500+ hours in the game, max level, everything unlocked and I've been playing for fun for the past month and a half. So finishing the game isn't what pulled me away, it's that I genuinely don't have any hope for the game anymore. After this last Warbond I realized that Arrowhead will never learn from their mistakes and will continue to do nothing but push out talking points in PR posts and continue putting out God awful updates until the game dies for good.

>>491494156I literally haven't played since the bot moon became unavaible, there's nothing but shit planets to play on the botfront
Hey arrowhead, can you open up some more planets on the bot side where we can see more than 10 feet ahead of us?
Polar patriots, Viper commandos, Freedom's flame OR the heavy 200 armor set in super store? (1030 SC status)
>>491494826they are all trash, periodthe only thing worth buying at that point is the jaguar armor from the sewer store
I genuinely can't see shit 100% of the times against bugs now.Where the fuck am I? Where am I going? Why am I playing this game?
>>491494826Vipiss Commandoodoo has the best booster in the game an A tier armor passive. Poopy Patriots has a couple alright weapons.>Freedom's Lamelol, lmao even. Unless you unironically want to troll people with the booster don't bother.
>>491494826I'd get viper commandos for the bushwhacker and the top tier booster.
>>491495149Hey now, I really like the orange skins from freedoms shame
>thinks some boosters are too good>first thought isnt "how do we condense the necessary ones" or "how do we buff the dogshit ones", it's literally "well we don't wanna nerf them???"
>>491493526>lvl 17 and 8>bought something from the superstorelmao retards
>>491495262I don't even like them but they're still the best thing in that piece of shit excuse for "content".

>>491495412Bro is in the BIG APPLE>>491495354they were working and toiling for their sins in difficulty 2 with me, they are learning fast
>>491495328>>first thought isnt "how do we condense the necessary ones" or "how do we buff the dogshit ones", it's literally "well we don't wanna nerf them???"This right here is why this game will continue to slide into obscurity and irrelevancy. This perfectly encapsulates the mentality of the swigger.>>491495412>You know I've lived in New York my entire lifeMy condolences.
>>491495328>>491495662>prompted about if they'll nerf the boosters>"no">anon somehow warps the answerPiles is the good one.Alexus and his band of troons at the balance team are the retards.
>>491495865>Piles is the good one.No he isn't and I'm tired of this cope. His autism is just as crippling to the game as Alexus and his ilk's sabotage.
They could roll both the reinforcement boosters and the extract booster into a single one and it still wouldn't be worth using
>>491495865he wasn't ever asked if he was going to nerf themhe was asked if he was going to combine them since they're "essential" according to discord faggotspileofshit isn't the one good swede, btw. he just makes empty promises that go nowhere. look at this game's whole development cycle.
>>491495865>he fell for the good cop bad cop strategy
>>491495662Its a nice place
If the next patch is also dogshit, I'll give up the "Piles is actually good cope".Until then, I'd rather believe that some swedes are actually good and they are just getting sabotage'd by malicious bastards.The one patch in which Piles was directly involved buffed everything and fixed the SPEAR.The one patch in which Piles went in vacation, the team reverted back to being nerfing bastards.I want to believe.Piles will save us with his autism and good will, he just had to fight too many fights at once.
>>491495328in my language we say, the fish stinks from its head
>>491495328>the necessary onesmake them cheap ship modules, since HPO and vit booster are available very early. stamina booster comes later but it might as well just be a basic upgrade like the other two.remove the boosters entirely.>the underperforming onesi mean, the exploding hellpods should have never been added to the game, but for the rest i'm sure small number tweaks (and HPO/VB/SB being entirely out of the pool) is all you need. maybe make extra reinforcements 2 per, make faster extract take it down to like a minute/minute thirty, make the faster reinforce timer take the extra reinforces down to a minute, that kind of shit.
>>491496687>the patch sucks because pileofshit was on vacation>he doesn't fire the people who went behind his back to fuck shit up and instead just does damage control on discord>next patch will be good, trustHook me up with your copium dealer bro.
The only way for AH to win me back over is if they roll back the flamethrower nerf
>>491496904oh coolin mine we say>fish's head is where the rot starts
>>491463850YesBut then, anything above D6 makes you a better expert on game balance than the balance team
>>491496949He recently confirmed they are going to give us paintjobs for armors instead of transmog, which is arguably better.
>>491463981Outside of the known issue list, they think everything is just fine
>>491497194I look forward to it in 2027.>captcha is what I wish would happen to the dev team
>>491496949You can't just fire people in Sweden because they do something you don't like unless they've been explicitly told by their superior to not do so and have already been warned about doing something similar in the past.Also firing people wouldn't even help since any new hires would know the codebase even worse than the current ones.If Piles can be a decent lead dev and tardwrangler then there's some hope left. Those who really can't deal with the direction he chooses should leave on their own, which is much easier for both parties.
>>491496949>picrelwho is asking for this? i agree that transmog for the sake of it is retarded. if you dont like the passives just change armor, that's the entire point.now, unique helmet traits that you can pop on any armor for a little extra customization is something i do want
>>491497421>Also firing people wouldn't even help since any new hires would know the codebase even worse than the current ones.Am I supposed to feel bad for them for continuing to use an EOS'd engine? They knew full well what they were getting in to, and judging on how much stuff is constantly breaking they weren't even remotely prepared for it somehow.
>>491497194>break three things for every one they fixoutlook: bleak
>>491496949See I agree with what he SAYS here but what they actually DO with armor and effects in the game is the complete fucking opposite.Like in everything they fucking do. They say one thing and do something completely different. Fucking retards. If you're not gonna actually commit to this idea then stop this half-assed bullshit and give us transmog or make armor actually match it's looks>give armor a suitable insulation stat that suits the temperature on different planets, allowing you to negate the stamina penalties>finally make proper snow armor that lets you run on ice and through snow>rework recoil and peak physique perks, there's no reason just having your arms exposed should mean you're somehow stronger>stop giving armors perks related to stims and nades and make those character perks instead or something so people can stop using the fuck ugly "medic" armor (medic in quotes because it doesn't even make you a medic, it makes you a well-equipped meth junkie)
>>491497945>what they actually DO with armor and effects in the game is the complete fucking opposite.This guy gets it. Transmog itself isn't the issue, it's that he's trying to make an argument that "it wouldn't make sense!" when half or more of the shit they do already isn't consistent and doesn't make sense. I will say though pileofshit is a fucking retard about the magazine models.
two good options to make boosters less of a ball ache>give everyone an additional booster slot (maybe only for high difficulties)>rotate boosters so there's always one or two bonus boosters active in addition to the four that people picknow half the squad can pick completely terrible boosters and we'll come out fine regardless because we can still land on the four triple digit IQ approved ones
>>491498174>>give everyone an additional booster slot (maybe only for high difficulties)Instructions unclear, gave 3 slots from d1-6 and removed boosters from d7+.
Sex with eagle 1!
>>491499573>no side mission to rescue a downed eagle pilot
>>491495328It's literally impossible for the Swede to comprehend that you can incentivise build variety by making shitty things good instead of making good things shitty.
>>491497421>unless they've been explicitly told by their superior to not do so and have already been warned about doing something similar in the past.How do you rationalize him saying they're gonna lay off the nerfs and them going on to nerf more shit, or "fix" it, while he was gone and couldn't stop them? Because the way I see it either A) he's just telling players what they want to hear and then just tells the devs to keep doing what they're doing and he'll keep blowing smoke up our asses, or B) he actually does believe what he's saying and he's just an ineffective leader unable to properly manage his employees. Neither one is good.
>>491499774An escort mission back to the extraction zone would fucking suck. Unless you carried her back counter strike go style.
>>491497945>Realism for players but not enemiesYes
>>491498150>>491480375yes he is a retard
>>491499821there's nothing to be done about vit booster or stamina booster at the least, they're both universally good. that's why they should just be baseline at this point
>>491500180I think it would go more like>get stratagem to call in pelican when you get close like pod data upload>spawns a bug patrol/dropship wave>have to defend the pilot til the pelican shows up on the convenient landing spot on the POI
>>491480375So you're saying the R-63 Diligence is... Ribbed for our pleasure?
>>491478817>>only getting more relevant>much less relevant after rocket chicken patch lmao, can't hear you over my yellow kill count acsissymaybe stop leaning on your crutch
>>491480375The truth is when they swapped the magazine model for the breaker to justify nerfing its ammo capacity, they already had the smaller mag in the files as part of the old WIP upgrade system. They used this for a lot of positive press (you can literally find articles with the title like "Arrowhead makes new model to nerf gun") or some shit like that. They absolutely know what they're doing deceiving people like this.
>>491501829What support weapon you running? Nothing will get most kills on bots over the AC if the AC user plays right, because it has splash damage. So majority of your kills probably come from stratagems. Any stratagem loadout will be better with AC
>>491502206NTA, but AC loses in terms of AoE clearing to fucking Airburst, of all weapons.And it loses in terms of focus fire to AMR and Railgun.People that unironically think AC is the best aren't smart.
>>491502014>they already had the smaller mag in the files as part of the old WIP upgrade systemthere are like 3 more unreleased warbond breaker in the game files>Arrowhead makes new model to nerf gunhilarious, these plebs truly have no idea how game dev works
>>491502206rg without backpack, instakilling devs/hulks/striders saves me infinite time to continue gunning down/redballing every other enemy in the game>splash damage goodlol whatmost bots have explosion immunity or take peanut damage at best from splash, at best you're just plapping a large group of raiders/troopers (imagine using an AC for this, lmao)the only good splash weapon for bots is plaspun, and even then it's just a stumble weapon that has antisynergy with any precision weapon users on your team>Any stratagem loadout will be better with ACwrong, i regularly top out against acsissies ac's only advantage is that it can kill factory striders quickly from below, but the ttk's less than doubled if you just use jar/nade pistol on its tummy instead, negating the advantage unless you're on some kind of insane strider seed
>trident in the list of upcoming weaponsThey're going to fucking massacre it aren't they?
>incoming message from super earth>a new dissident faction has risen in the helldiver ranks>due to widespread chaosdiver brainwashing, orbitals and eagle strikes now have a chance to deploy on top of helldiver positions instead of their intended targets

>>491505470That happens to me quickly with everything I eat and drink. Like lasagna. I fucking loved lasagna, ate it almost every day, eventually it started to lose it's taste and then the lack of taste started turning into a bad taste, like somehow the lasagna I ate was always rotten.It's annoying that things that taste really fucking good make me downright sick after eating it too many times but at least it forces me to have refreshing variety in food.I'm pretty sure it's a psychological thing as well because it's never a single ingredient that starts tasting bad, but it's everything that I would consider as a whole to be a "dish" or a "snack".
>>491507593Doesn't help that it feels like the AC is bouncing off shit now

>>491479914Spent my teens absolutely fiending that game. Tried it again recently but i do not want to train my APM back up jesus christ. Being able to DBF stunlock is sick. Relearning the timing is not.
>>491507404Yeah I was at level 69 when they first increased the level cap from 50. Was playing almost every day, all night after work and all my friends were playing too. I think what killed the momentum for me was when they released the Patriot Exosuit and it was awesome but then a week or two later they assraped the aiming for the rocket pods and left them that way for like 2 months. Never regained the momentum again and I actively have to convince my friends to play now which only lasts a few rounds before some bullshit makes them want to stop. I think I'm only level 78, haven't even gone up 10 levels since the cap increase.
>>491503418I don’t see any way it can be remotely as powerful in 3d unfortunately. I just wish they’d make a laser that works like the old sickle, since they clearly have a way to fuck with cooling time since there’s planet modifiers for it. AP3 and 500 dps but ~2.5 sec of sustained trigger time on a fast cooldown would be fun.

why is the ugly fatass armor in the superstore so fucking expensive
>>491515126Man, I've hit 11 deaths in an /hdg/ lobby once.I also topscored on kills every mission in that op, so it's a mixed bag.There's no reason to be self-conscious though. I don't think anyone really cares about numbers/stats, it's mostly about having fun and completing the missions. The only time I've ever been annoyed in an /hdg/ lobby was when someone called a 380 on the generators during asset evac. Teamkilled me and my sentries and multiple other allies, and the guy didn't even get that many kills from it. That didn't bother me too much, but immediately after I was respawned I got shot again by another guy (by accident, surely). I said like "bro" and he said "mb" and we moved on, though. We won, because /hdg/ is still good at the game.tl;dr, you can play badly and nobody will ever really mind. Just do the Q menu "sorry" after you tk and people will shoulder it.

>>491521656explosive resist is basically never worth it, it won't even save you from direct hits from the nuclear tipped missiles (400 explosive) on the barrager/new scout striders (though even if you did survive the damage the >impact will probably get you). on everything else explosive damage maxes at 100 and falls off from there, while being coupled with high kinetic values (e.g. tanks and spewer ass mortars do 800 kinetic/100 explosive)
>>491522874Fortified has the best looking armors and recoil redux, which 100% justify the pick in bots if you're a JAR or HMG user.

>>491503185The stagger makes it a little more forgiving than the other ones listed. AMR/RG cannot stagger tightly packed devs/berserkers, and the airburst has a significantly lower RPM. While not the best output on damage it does help create lots of breathing room.CAPTCHA:PS4T
>>491528438Haha man imagine actually having to do your job while you're at work, that's crazy.I've said it before and I'll say it again, people are mad about vacation because even when they are "working" they might as well be on vacation because fucking nothing gets done.
>>491528283>I did not understand the idea of going on vacation and not checking up on what's happening in a company you own for the whole summerAmericans do this too, it's literally something that everyone in the world recommends. Supposedly, it's not actually a vacation if you still have to take work with you.The difference is that in a competent company, when someone goes on vacation, there are safeguards set up so that the one left in charge can actually address any issues that come up outside of extreme emergencies. That doesn't seem to have been the case here.

>>491529837Slow development speed was there before the criticism. It has taken them like 8 years to get to this point.
>>491529939america rules the planet while sweden is an irrelevant EU vassal state
>>491529973it's -25% slow time, so a 4 second slow becomes 3
>>491530252Mind your place zogbot.
>>491529837How the fuck could the development speed be even slowerEscalation fo Shitdom took them two months for enemies that are mostly just palette swaps, two side objectives, and a new difficulty which biggest feature is a frankenstein'd together mega fortress.Does nerfing weapons take up so much dev capacity?
>>491530405is it hard to talk with that dildo in your mouth?
>>491529531>>491529637I'm looking at a wiki now>Harder to be slowed in bushes, thick mud, deep snow, and water.I thought it originally reduced stamina consumption up steep hills and terrain. That's why I took it. idk
>>491530260seems like it would be good if instead of reducing slow duration it just reduced how slowly you move when slowed, which is what i thought it did.
>>491528816Non-issue if you can aim with RG and AMR, because AC will always take out chickens, devs and hulks slower.Airburst can oneshot everything from hulks to below and takes out non-flying patrols instantly, it actually has way higher dps and AoE than the AC even with the way slower reload and also has higher stagger force on top.AC is a generalist, but can't do anything well. If you think "oh but it has stagger aoe, sometimes, and I value staggering the enemies over taking them out instantly" you are honestly not playing the game correctly. Pick the plasma punisher, it does the same thing but with better AoE.RG is currently the best weapon against automatons and AMR is the side option, no discussion to be had.If you enjoy the AC go ahead and play it, just don't try to shill it as this super meta weapon, when the meta shifted and left the AC in an awkward spot.
>>491529973I could be wrong, but I think it stacks with muscle enchancement to make slow effects even less of a factor.
>>491530481As opposed to the dick in your ass?
>>491526037lol love that we have both views

Reminder that the detector towers in d10 bot fortresses are an intentional loadout check. If you fail to bring a stratagem with enough demolition to blow it up that's a skill issue. No hellbomb for you.
>>491529837Tell Piles that all the lvl 150 Helldivers still believe in him.
>>491529029this. if the flamethrower/fire changes were on the table prior to his vacation it should have been shelved until his return. only things that should have been shipped should have been approved prior to the vacation.
>>491529837People would have been fine with the slow development speed if bugs were consistently and properly fixed. Look at your fucking "known issues" log, and how long all that shit's been there. If you're spending your time making warbonds and adding new armor without fixing these bugs, it sends the message that you want to make money through microtransactions and not improve the game.Prioritize your shit.>>491529973It used to be worth it when slows were actually meaningful (slow you to walking speed and prevented sprinting). Now I would call it semi-worthless since bile slows can still be sprinted through and you can barely feel it.

>>491531494The only sentries I ever use are Gatling and MG turret to keep smaller enemies off of me while I kill the bigger ones. Autocannon sentry has failed me too many times for me to use it, and the rocket sentry is just too slow to be useful.

I will shoot mortar sentries I see that other people bring if we're on bugs. The potential for teamkilling is high.>EMS MortarI bring it, thinking it will be useful, and then something kills it instantly and I forget to call more in.
>>491532275Cope golem.
>>491531494AC and rocket are OK, but I think they don't kill stuff fast enough to be worth using over something else like HMG emplacement.On bugs they get cucked by chargers and hardly get any shots off.
>>491532389Poster here, this is 100% how I feel about every turret aside from the rocket. The rocket is excluding the fact that it's really cool and that's why you should use it.
If I host and someone takes the explosive mortar they are getting kicked. My decision to do this is objectively correct.

>>491530523Not saying it's meta or the best, but it can really shine when stun locking heavy dev spam to decrease incoming fire or open up heavy dev heads for teammates and yourself.Different philosophies i suppose.

>>491533102The enemy cannot push a button if you kill it.Also don't forget to bring EMS Strike and EMS mortars, autocuck!
>>491533091this but mines
>>491533091I wish the targeting that mortars do when you tag an enemy would apply to all sentries. Let me tag a bile titan so my autocannon sentry can shoot that while I shoot the hunters approaching from behind, instead of my sentry wasting time to rotate and aim at the hunters while the titan walks up and steps on it.

>>491481095>I never understood the notion that guard dog can redeem low dps primaries or supportsIdeally, you want to let the doggo fill a niche your primary cannot fill well, which then gives the two better synergy. Slugger, Plasma Punier, Crossbow are all experts at killing mediums better than chaff, so this allows doggo to help cover these weapons' weaknesses while also allowing you to keep focusing on the enemies the doggo cannot handle. In the torcher's case, I feel like both the torcher and doggo fulfill that same niche, but having more damage is still better than having the bubble shield since you need as much firepower as possible just to not get killed by swarming in D10.
>>491542745I could only see the bottom of the shell, the rest was clipped into the tree. I should've tried shooting it though just to see what happens.

>>491481102>didnt arabs invent math and shit?They did. Then they proceeded to raped to death by the Mongol Horde.
>>491544640 (me)>inb4 but you can already kill chargers with primaries lol lmaoAnd waste up to 80% of your ammo doing so.
>>491540129Alpha Commanders are a problem? They feel like a better realized Brood Commander since they don't just rush at you like all the other shitter bugs do, they'll try to run away and summon more hordes of alpha warriors to assfuck you unless they're dealt with. They show some level of self-preservation/ tactical understanding of their strength, being the asshole whose job is to summon hordes of warriors to rape you, and when all else fails they're still potently strong in close range with their charge and high damage melee attacks as an answer to players who try to gap close them. I guess if you're using a light pen weapon then they're annoying as fuck since they have so much HP and cutting off their limbs just makes them MORE aggressive instead of less, but most medium pen weapons trivialize them well enough. Bugs now are basically a gear check for if your primary has medium pen or not. If it does, then you can handle most shit. If it doesn't, then you're relegated to chaff work that a guard dog does more efficiently.
How long until they remove the "bile titans sometimes take no damage from headshots" known issue and just make it a feature?
>>4915384533/4
>>491545862a long time agoI think they know that BTs will get btfo'd almost immediately every time if they remove it, and they want them to last at least as long on average as factory striders.once they finally remove the no damage "bug", it'll only be after they've devised another way to buff them that makes them equally as strong or moreso

A schizo prophecy just appeared in my brain. The meridian "blackhole" 100% is the gateway for the squid... However, I think they will spawn in the bottom RIGHT quadrant. Then, they will push west toward Malevelon Creek. The swede can't resist reinforcing such a mighty meme for their last chance to return the game to mainstream hype status.
>>491577086I don't care because that shit is years away at the dogshit pace we are going nowor it's just outright cancelled because devs le sad :(
>>491566515For guns, I recommend using cookout for those pesky stalkers, Grenade pistol for easy bug hole closing and Impact Incen for cheap napalm or stun nades if you need a crutch to land your OPS/Spear on ChargersYou can switch out Orbital Gatling for Eagle napalm. Depends on if you're fighting in that jungle map with the tall ass trees or not and personal preference.
I wouldn't even care if flamers had the damage they did right now if the fucking flames just either had a heavy slow debuff on things that are on fire, or the fires staggered enemies. I guess the reason they haven't implemented that is because these swedes are retarded and would make it so when you got self-immolated by your own janky ass flame particles that it would stagger/slow you down too.

Everytime someone throws in a suggestion or complaint he's just like "yeah I agree."So why the fuck is your dev team still shitting the bed with nerfs and broken bugs, pileofshit?

>>491583160Fatshark is worse. Arrowhead still pushes out updates even if they are shit and ruin the game. Fatshark takes months to do anything and then the update breaks the game then they fuck off with radio silence.
>>491583551factionalism. it's factionalism. it's Alexus and Sony exploiting dumb faggot swiggers on the team who're still high and seething on the Fredriksson reddit melty and how they need to 'beat' the players, for whatever evil spurious reason they have. it's the link below all over again, in a substantially dumber context- this isn't some series of compromises trying to preserve existing budget, they'd already won and had nothing to do but retain players.https://forum.quartertothree.com/t/how-spore-ended-up-cute-and-dumbed-down/48324Arrowhead is being eaten from the inside out by actual backbiting traitorous nonsense, that's why nothing they do makes any sense and why the team has no workflow cohesion.
>>491584312I can believe retarded Swiggers would want to punish players for not liking their disgusting cooking but there is literally no reason for Sony to be doing what you're suggesting.Unless Sony holds some legal clause to kill the entire team and replace it with their own if AH acts retarded, it makes no sense for them to sabotage Helldivers like this.
>>491584596>there is literally no reason for Sony to be doing what you're suggesting.yes there is, observe>"Why are all of our moviegames flopping? Why do people keep demanding the HQ move back to Japan? Why won't our walled gardens grow? WHY ARE THESE STUPID SWIGGERS SO SUCCESSFUL?!?!?!" -calisnoy execs probablyit's spite. it's spite and faggot retards & nepobabies & vermin on their way out of the industry attempting to hamstring and destroy what they cannot possibly compete with, even if they are directly profiting off of it, because it will ruin their status quo and prevent it from growing stronger.Helldivers 2s' original sin was that it was a fun breakout hit with the barest lipservice to gayniggery and corporate Jewry, living proof that such a model of fun-first was successful in itself. It's an existential threat to how western Sony does business. No, their actions don't make any fucking sense, that's because the people involved in these actions don't make any fucking sense. They have ulterior motives. Stupid faggot retard ones, but ulterior motives nonetheless, which operate from a completely different mindset and rationale than you're starting from.
>>491584312>Quigley acknowledges the need for compromise. “From a single-celled organism through the four-and-a-half-billion year history of life on Earth to a self-projected future where we are gallivanting around the stars?

>>491584596>Unless Sony holds some legal clause to kill the entire team and replace it with their ownGod I fucking wish.
>>491585507the sad part is that's the Science factions' second man coping miserably after the fact. Will Wright was the first and the studio founder, and he still couldn't stop the dedicated faggot retards who wanted to twist the game into being a modern Sims-ified version of itself, because he wasn't as determined as those rats were to fuck everything up. Read everything in there with Chris Heckers' name, how he's publicly obviously a dumbass who constantly pushed his personal party line and gathered other devs to lobby to get his retard way that fucked the game over. Now substitute Alexus in his place. Do you see a pattern emerging here, a fractal? Does Arrowheads' probable spy in marketing lurking the thread see? I hope they do. If they don't fix this shit, if Pilestedt doesn't start ruling as a tyrant with a coherent vision for the game, one that his team exists solely to manifest on the grunt labor level with no backtalking bullshit or vacation-timed stealth patches, it's all fucked.

Haven't played in a couple months, last drama was that thing where they made the patrol spawns super crazy.What's the state of the game now?
>>491595556lmao
>>491595556Believe it or not, worse.1. The patrols still haven't been fixed, and it's purportedly the "norm" of the game now.2. Shitters are whining about their Flamethrowers not being able to penetrate Charger Behemoth legs from the front anymore (the weapon has more problems than that but that exploit being fixed is not one of them).3. The new warbond is trash because flame particle behavior got destroyed before the update.4. The new enemies added on both fronts make the game much more aggravating to play.So, basically, the usual "one step forward, two steps back" that we're all used to.
>>491595650Not good then?
>>491595734Fucking hell. To think I defended these devs at the start. They really have no idea what they are doing do they.I think it was the quasar nerf that did it for me. It really didn't need it. Any time they accidentally made a weapon good they nerf it to shit and it's intentional. Haven't cared about the game since that became obvious.
>Team splits into two, attack mega nest with an ally while the others do objectives>Clear mega nest, objectives complete, teammate grabs egg, start heading to extraction>Suddenly fall over, did I trip up something?>Fall over again, realize the host is punching me for some reason>Fire some warning shots off, keep running>Host starts firing back, now start to shoot to kill>Have to dance around both the bugs and this asshole now>Every time he dies and comes back, he starts gunning for me>Tries sniping me off half the map with his stupid sickle when I went back for my stuff>Kills me, I land my hellpod on him>Other guys get killed so I have to reinforce everyone>Host tries to land on me, dodge the hellpod and kill him as he gets out>Now it's us three at extract>He's spamming the request reinforcement button, nobody wants to reinforce him>Get kicked from the game>Finish extraction myselfSuck shit, asshole.
>>491595914>Any time they accidentally made a weapon good they nerf it to shit and it's intentionalHMG bros still winning.
>>491595914Thankfully the QC, RR and EAT are all shit now. Now that d7+ bugs replaces all chargers with behemoths that none of these weapons can reliably kill or even strip leg armor there's genuinely no reason to take any of them
>>491595914Everyone's pissed since it came to full light just how badly they misunderstand their own game. They can't play it past D6, and they balance via spreadsheet just by looking at weapon pick statistics rather than actually trying to address the issues.It is possible that the current mess is due to miscommunications during their vacation period, and that they will improve the game since they've publicly committed to making serious changes. But the latter are just words and there's no guarantee the former won't happen again. You're fully within your rights to just not play the game until it gets better, or just outright stop playing.

>I am forgotten
>>491597223I still use it
>>491597329>>491597329>>491597329get in losers we are playing a game we all hate but cant stop anyway
>>491597354We're not even at bump limit yet you stupid shit
>>491597354>posting before bump limit>muh numberskill yourself pajeet
>>491597223I got an idea on how to fix it: Personal ammo pack resupply. When you take this stratagem you get two stratagem codes. One for the RR and backpack, and one that cools down faster but just sends a backpack. Or maybe not even the backpack, just reloads for the RR.
>>491597934So EATs?
>>491598257You can't fire more than 2 EATs every 2 minutes though
>>491588495You are not the arbitrator of which general is and isn't okay to run, tranime freak.
>>491596293>You're fully within your rights to just not play the game until it gets better, or just outright stop playing.I mean, I have done. Are there really people who think we're under some kind of contractual obligation to play a videogame?I'll believe it when I see it. I don't need a videogame to hold my attention so much over the summer. But when the nights start closing in and the weather starts getting colder, I hope they have gotten their shit together.
>>491596245So what are people using to kill them? Are we expected to just orbital rail everything above a hunter?
>>491599996Orbital precision strike combined stun grenades is the most common method. Other than that, Spear.
>>491600230Not him but yeah, I've seen a lot of divers on d10 bugs recently that don't take blue or green strategems at all, only reds. OPS, Railcannon, Eagle Napalm/500kg/Airstrikes, etc. Dunno how effective it is cause I tend to take a mix of blues and reds, but I'll drop a spare weapon/backpack for one if I see them running around without a support weapon or backpack.
>>491600815that's the way I see it. while it's great to have extra support weapons and get resupplied by supply backpack bros, there's too much incentive to minmax aoe damage and cut down ttk. so most people end up taking one more barrage or eagle instead of an EAT or sentry. it's a bit of a heartbreak but this is the meta that arrowhead created.
>>491599996OPS and/or 500kgAnd that's the extent of your options. You can kill titans and behes with the Spear as well, but now we have absurdly tanky impliers added to the mix that eat 3 (!) spear shots to die.
>>491602818That's pretty much it. I've been bringing both OPS and 500kgs for those fuckers, as well as the Scorcher and HMG. HMG does what the MMG does, but can also destroy Spore Spewers/Shrieker Nests from a distance, and Scorcher deals absurd durable damage for a primary, so I'll pop Charger tails by magdumping with it. Seems to work fairly well enough.
>>491597223>EAT deals same dmg without reload x2>Spear deals way more dmg, armor pen and reload is the same time>Commando deals little less dmg but you can spam it 4 times in a rowIt needs more dmg or faster reload, it's shit compared to others
any hellsisters playing...?
>proud to serve by your side sirOy vey leanbros how do we cope?
>>491604105By not responding to the service technician because arrowhead has decided we cannot anymore
>>491604324in navy tradition female superior officers are referred to as sir as well
>steam down>can't playAt least it doesn't boot you back to the ship instantly anymore..
>>491604324Why exactly can't we talk to engineering-chan anymore?
>>491596293>It is possible that the current mess is due to miscommunications during their vacation periodEven if we're incredibly generous and assume this is the case (lmao), they'll be on vacation again in another 2 months. That's why they threw out that 60 day time to fix the game cause after that they're gonna fuck off again regardless of the state of the game.
>>491596293I'm 100% sure that Arrowhead's problems are multifold>No version control, local git, etc. Everything that is done on the development version is pushed to main, which explains the random stealth changes that the devs don't know about.>Nobody there plays the game at all, which is rather uncommon in the game industry, especially for live service games.>Zero communication between devs.>Management has zero control, they're attempting to emulate Valve's structure but worse.>No design document, no real direction. Nobody there can agree on what should be done or what the game should be like.>Making systems way too complicated for no good reason, which means adjustments to existing content become more difficult. (as an example, damage being determined via the projectile instead of the weapon, as well as thirty other factors)>General laziness, reusing things in places they shouldn't be used (Orbital Airburst shrapnel being used for the Eruptor) instead of making a new copy with adjusted values.And this is only an incomplete list of problems.
>fully solo'd and 100% a D10 operation on Pandion XXIV>all my deaths were to impalers either oneshotting me, ragdolling me or launching me into enemiesYeah, fuck these niggers.
>>491603647The RR has niche case uses, and it's better than EATs and Quasar for sure 100%.The issue is that all 3 are underwhelming weapons that need more than one shot to even kill a fucking hiveguard or brood commander, and let's not talk about chargers, impalers and bile titans..They need their armor penetration to go up to at least lvl 8
