I want to play as a hellbomb. I'll get called down, sit motionlessly until armed by a helldiver, then explode in their face instantly. Or get destroyed by gunships and then immediately quit the lobby and close the game in sheer rage. Either one works.

Having less than 14k players online is a good thing, actually. God, this game needs the Concord treatment. Just total playerbase death.

It's amazing how much more fun you have with this game when you speedrun the main objective and then fuck around the map doing the other stuff. Extra points if you're max level and already unlocked everything.
This should've never been a GAAS game. They should've just made it like DRG and then release DLCs from time to time to pay the bills.

Stop being a cuckold. Our demands are everything Arrowhead should think about and work towards. Respect and basic dignity are only fof people that perform. Don't wanna be treated as a subhuman, don't act as one. Simple.

>>492158021
No idea since I didn't play it but this would be the best way to make defending missions seem fun. We should have the advantage so give us a 5th slot with defending or make the strat cooldowns 50% or something.

Also I am STILL mad that the flamethrower doesn't stagger enemies. I can blow that in some bug fuckers face and he just walks up to me as if the Newton's laws mean jack shit

>>492158520
No I mean when we have a planet to defend. Like lore wise they are attacking us but we have no fucking advantage. It'd be nice if we had extra orbitals or something. Like free strafe and rocket pods

60 DAY PLAN

Just a reminder: We are past a quarter way through their 60 days to "fix" the game that they said we'd be getting patches throughout...and we have yet to see a single god damn thing. They even had an extra week between when EoF came out and they promised to adjust course. We are gonna see one nothingburger patch at about the halfway mark and then another at the 70 day mark, screencap me.

Space Marine 2 comes out in just over a week if you preordered or just under 2 if you wait for release. Swedes are toasted.

People could have tolerated the Barrager Tank and Rocket Chicken, maybe even the increased stagger on the Bug Front as well. A little "Sorry lol, we will have it fixed first thing September" and everything would have been fine.
But the Swedes shit the bed again and it's a hell of a story to watch unfold .
I'm not sure Arrowhead really knows what to do or if they will claw back enough trust by October. What do you gamers think?

>>492153078
They should intoduce regional objetives, that upon completion will add modifiers to all planets in said sextor for ~24 hours. Something like:
-some extra stratagem (already get these effects occasionaly)
-enemy gets patrol/reinforment rotation slowdowns
-certain side objectives will be disabled/instantly completed
-SEAF objectives and settlements will have more/chances to have random primary\support weapons lying around
-stratagem type gets extra 20-30% cd reduction
-weapon/dmg type will do 20-30% more dmg
-mission rewards/collectibles are 20-30% increased
And many other options can be thought about
But instead the flamer gets nerfed since it can kill that 1 charger that spawns every 10 minutes on diff5 too well, who gives a fuck if 2 behes spawn every 30 seconds on diff 9+.

Bugs, more so than bots but them too, should not remain as combat effective as they do as they take damage

The Inner Legs of big things Chargers and up should be less armoured than the outer claw allowing you to as you said rip the whole fucking leg off.

>>492161756
Holy fuck, I sneed this weapon. Imagine decapitating a factory strider with it.

>>492161709
I want to love it; I really do, and the core gameplay is still solid. But they keep doing these stupid decisions, and then play catch up, and then fuck up something else along the way and apologize. They don’t ID the actual problem, like with the guns, they should ALL feel FUN to use at the highest difficulty. Make things fun to use, make the enemies numerous but not unfair. Don’t worry about realism autism, this is a sci-fi shooter game, go nuts.

>>492161592
A charger should get dazed and blinded by fire. And we should be able to shoot / blow off the titan's legs. Make that ducker limp or even become completely immobilized

>>492161071
Hit the nail on the head
Forced to run AT, and the heavies that can technically be killed without heavy penetration take fucking forever to kill. Having to run around in circles like a sped while AT is on cooldown because a Bile Titan spawned is just shit.
You can shoot the limbs off bots to disable their attacks but no such thing exists with Terminids. A bug could be missing half its torso and have its head blown off and it still runs at you full speed with the same precision and lethality. You blow up the glowing green squishy underside of a BT and it gets faster for some reason? It's fucking miserable.

lolno I refuse to lie to you, thinks are very bleak for heckers 2
we might get a third faction expansion, emphasis on might, they might also decide to just not do it. if it happens it will most likely be a buggy unenjoyable mess at the start and take a whole shitload of additional time to get bugfixed.
then it's the long wait for Helldivers 3 or Magicka 3 whichever is first.
with all that said we should hope for other more capable studios to plagiarize the shit out of this game and effectively give us the version that only exists in our heads right now. that's our best course to satisfaction.

Has anyone actually tested the collateral effect of the railgun? I know I've seen it punch through multiple enemies, but there's little to no data on paper for:
>does it work on all charges?
>if not, does more charge increase the number of enemies it can go through?

how the actual fuck did nobody on the team load up the barrager and learn that it doesn't fucking die when you kill the engine box, or that it can clip through its own fucking body to shoot you.

>>492162292
Oh it definitely can pierce through multiple bots, just try to angle your shot at a multitude when behind an incoming dropship. I once killed 4 medium bots with the mother of all shots that way.

I can generate hope but I will never expect Arrowhead to not be capable of shitting the bed at a moments notice, from everything I've seen a Swede is incapable of making a Live Service Videogame. You give them time they can make something acceptable but it's a lot of fucking time needed.
Other's though? Probably not. The outlook for Helldivers is fucking so far in the water it's insane, from people talking about it around town like a peak Game of Thrones episode too people call folk mentally ill for suggesting it could be GOTY.

Lets take a look at their business plan for the next 60 (45) days

ESL-bro, before you try to play armchair psychologist, try to graduate from highschool.

Why take a support weapon stratagem when you can just find one at a POI?

>>492166617
>find door POI
>open it
>three flamethrowers
>its a bot planet

>>492166617
I want this one and now. I can load for the RRchad if he doesn't get a brain system error when I'm docked onto him.

>>492166617
because there's five hulks at your drop site and five more at the first poi

>>492166919
Just stun and OPS.
>>492166842
Worst case scenario, you wait a few minutes for someone else's support weapon to come off cooldown.

>>492166617
Because sometimes POIs don't spawn at D10 and with bad RNG, you are better off with just a primary.
But generally speaking, I do that already, what's your point?

>>492166617
selection and spawn rate are too tiny on high difficulties
on low diffs you can find filled supply packs and the kino break action shotgun, on high diffs you exclusively find garbage like arc thrower

>>492159694
Not gonna happen, it's absurdly easy. Bugdivers were able to kill a half billion bugs in about a day last time, and they're giving five for this. With a new stratagem on the line, there's no way in hell you can convince the Blob not to all-in on this.

>>492165314
All the people that complain about the difficulty, ragdolling, enemy spawns and patrols should just play on a lower difficulty so they can get the experience they want desu senpai

>>492167150
When will they add break action shotgun to the stratagems?
It could drop two of them or something, idk.

They should buff the break action shotgun and add it to the list of unlockable stratagems.
Give it higher armour pen and overpenetration/piercing.

>>492167424
it doesn't do that much more damage than the punisher, 585 per shell

>>492166503
? it's grammatical

>>492166245
3 safe shots
2 unsafe shots properly edged
so just keep it in safe

>>492167150
NTA, and Arc Thrower is great against both factions.
AMR, LC, RG, Stalwart, MMG, EAT, GL all great.
Flamethrower can kill stuff, but it's just a damage sprinkler.
Break-action is literally worse than a primary weapon, and it's still ok to have.
SPEAR, RR, AC, Quasar, Airburst, HMG and backpacks would also be great, they just don't spawn at all, same for backpacks.
If you get 1 random support weapon (not the flamethrower or B-AS and are running 4 red stratagems, you are basically God.

What was your favorite patch lads? Mine was probably when they fixed DOT damage and you could run napalm/gas on bugs and just chew through chaff easily. HMG/assault rifle buff was really fun too.

Bam, you now have a support weapon that requires more shots to kill enemies than the Commando but in the form of a rifle with comparatively low reload time and decent ammo.

it was real in alexuses mind

>>492175693
He probably saw a video of someone finishing a BT with an Arc Thrower... Which you can still do

>>492175693
That was a quote from Alexus trying to justify why the arc thrower's range was nerfed from back when the PS5 host bug was still a thing and ALL support weapons were doing 10 times the damage they should be if you had a PS5 network host. With a PS5 host a it only took 2 or 3 zaps from the arc thrower to either completely blow out the sides of the bile titan or obliterate its head. In that context the arc trower being able to kill bile titans in jsut a few zaps fro ma range of 50 meters is "slapping bile titnas from across the map"

Yes this does mean they nerfed the arcthrower over a bug, but worse than that it means they DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR OWN FUCKING GAME WORKS. If they knew the numbers on the arcthrower and the bile titans and knew how the damage system works and how its calculated then they would have known that a single zap to obliterate the bile titans spine shouldn't be possible. They should have known the bile titans armour has 100% durability and 650 health and the arc thrower only does 50 durable damage so there should have been no fucking way in hell it should have been performing that strongly.

Shit like this could happen with the PS5 host damage bug in the game. You can even see in the comments people saying it doesn't work like that for them and it's taking 20 or 30 shots (the proper amount) to kill bile titans. The PS5 host bug era was fucking wild with so much fucking cope about how it didn't exist and it was actually becuase they were hitting some secret fucking cheek hitboxor eye shot or other extremely specific (and non existent) "crit spot"

(from the same thread, replying to PileOfShit)

'Verisimilar' means something appears to be true or real, but is not necessarily actually true.

Helldivers 2 doesn't even treat guns or ballistics realistically at all. AT rockets use shaped charges, the speed at which they impact is irrelevant when a liquified copper stream goes 10km/s. Me diving towards an enemy to increase damage is idiotic.

Carbine just means shorter barrel. The Liberator Carbine has a barrel that is MAYBE 2 inches shorter, how this leads to a 50% increase in rate of fire I don't know. You'd have to swap out the receiver assembly, the spring mechanism, etc to change the ROF. The weapons temperature can also change the ROF based on the springs temperature. The increased recoil makes a little bit of sense.

The Eruptor bullet, despite being a gyrojet, just disappears around 160m in game if I recall. They should be INCREASING in velocity until the fuel runs out, then dropping off, not vanishing from existence. Why does a sniper rifle have a maximum range?

A triple-shot Bushwacker would break your wrist with recoil.

The Lib Concussive says it does less damage despite doing more damage.

The Spray & Pray fires birdshot for some reason? It also floats in the air whenever you drop it. Quality QA there.

Breaker Incendiary says it can't fire full auto due to 'heat', but we can rapid fire it anyways.

You're obsessed with the details but your details are often wrong. The extra complications in your code have only lead to more bugs and errors. An orbital strike for some reason can't penetrate A TREE BRANCH. Same for Eagle Strikes.

You're obsessed with realism but you're awful at realism.

Just tell people exactly what you want this game to be.

Most people here on Reddit anyways don't want a hardcore MilSim and you've proven you can't accurately design realistic weapons.

NOBODY cares about the super realistic physics, we get launched into orbit if we touch a corpse, fix that.

Shortening the gas system can also increase rate of fire as the gas has less distance to travel.

I mean, the signs were there from the beginning. None of the devs knew basic information about the game or how anything in it worked. Like for fucks sake, they even thought the Charger's ass was a weakspot and were surprised at the front legs being weakspots.

Hell, if anything, I'm betting HD2 was supposed to be a one-and-done game like the original (barring DLCs), then Sony and the CEO did a bait and switch "actually its gonna be a live service game now" which caused them to leave.

It changes nothing for EAT/RR/quasar/SPEAR/Commando shots since they already beat the armour of the head.
For AC/AMR/lasercannon./HMG it means you can actually damage the head since it drops from 5 armour to 4 armour. To kill the head you need:
6 AC shots
11 AMR shots
28 HMG shots
7.3 seconds of laser cannon fire
...provided all the shots actually do damage.

>>492194574
Don't forget common stuff that will also be hitting all enemies like eagle airstrikes, whatever damage that napalm eagles do, 120mm, gattling barrage, rocket sentries and auto cannon sentries, some crazies even run eagle rocket pods, airburst orbital, and then near misses from orbital precisions that don't hit dead on.

I've noticed at least 3 or 2 players on the bugfront using the shield and shield isn't really something players use over there
Now I understand

here's what I'd do to solve the infinite AR crisis
>delete every liberator + tenderizer and a bunch of others
>new lib is a "build your own primary" deal
>reform libpen, concussive, carbine, etc etc into one of ammo types you can choose, keep adding to them
>underbarrel slot: every available grenade type gets an underbarrel ammo version, including a launchable bayonet
>can switch between red dot, 200m, or no scope
>booster slot for special modifiers like an auto reloader, infrared scope, drum magazine
of course sweden would first need to learn how to develop games and then find the will to do it but my theory of a perfect AR is this, the underbarrel slot alone would catapult them back into the meta versus spammer guns like cookout or high dps like jar-5, diligence cs.

I'm not going to read all that shit. Make an actual fucking suggestion that doesn't require rebuilding the system from the ground up.

>>492196083
Give all libs/ars/smgs +30 ammo.
Give all med pen weapons +1 pen.
Increase aim time by 1-2 seconds if options above are wayyy too op for a true milsim game like Impaledivers 2.
Take it or leave the game.

>>492195658
dont touch my tenderizer, faggot

>>492196083
I need to reinforce my point, this is not a solution we will ever get, just a notion of what an ideal AR would be. if you want a realistic solution that arrowhead can actually manage to create I guess you'll have to wait for warbonds with ARs that have EMS, incendiary, etc effects. Maybe one with jet propelled rounds turning jar-5 into a joke, wouldn't that be fun.

>>492195658
I have read all that shit and found it acceptable
>>492196083
If Pileofshit doesn't decide to just cancel this entire game and run away with the money (very likely to happen), they'll eventually need to rebuild every system from the ground up anyways

>>492196886
they need Helldivers 3 on an efficient contemporary well-documented engine but being their lazy selves that will take them the better part of two decades to make.

>>492197148
Unreal 4, that's the most they can handle.

>>492197148
Or just spend an entire year with no meaningful content updates coping with the shitty engine and fixing what they can, which is a massive lot, since it's the only engine they've ever used and most of the issues are their own fault and not some engine limitation

What question are you asking the magic hellbomb?

>>492197603
if I were pilestink I'd just hire a bunch of Koreans, brand them Arrowhead East, and tell them to make their preferred version of Helldivers

"Engine issues" is just corpospeak for
>we've dumped all the work on underpaid interns with no experience and they're going through the exact same problems seniors already learned to avoid and fix
See: Kerbal Space Program 2

>>492198071
Helldive defence force 6?

>>492197772
>not some engine limitation
I suppose not but at any rate Arrowhead has no handle on the situation

>>492198430
Oh yeah, they don't. It's why I said it's likely they'll run away with the money (see: KSP2)

>try adult baby diaper shield
>blocks you're view of things right in front of you
t-thank you

>>492194918
Hmm, would love to test gatling sentry break points on bots during an acid storm.

>>492198678
if that was their intention they would have just taken a deal from epic, like Red Hook did with Darkest Dungeon 2.

>>492199175
Tbf it's better than having a clear view of a heavy devastator clipping its gun through its own shield while you're ragdolled

>>492199175
Take the guard dog instead anon. It has been engoodened and will protecc without hindering you or being cringe. I like to combine it with AMR for ammo savings.

Does the P-4 Senator have enough stagger-power to stagger stalkers?

>>492199571
I'm a real GUARD DOG USER and I will tell you what this GUARD DOG SELLER won't!
It will aggro EVERY SINGLE ENEMY around you, exactly like a rabid pitbull would do

>>492199882
but will it maul the nigglets?

>>492199974
It will mostly maul baby devastators
It's good as a stolen shared stratagem but I don't think it's worth over a red stratagem

>>492199882
>It will aggro
and kill

>>492200738
>Pass by blind robot machine gunners
>Starts shooting for no good reason
>They immediately call ten dropships
>Pass by disinterested rocket chicken
>Starts shooting for no good reason

Sex with eagle 1!
last one until they fix this game

>>492201113
idk maybe they changed it. If i don't aproach any guards or patrols, the dog does not engage them to at least half of it's max range, aka you need to be pretty much within detection range for it to proc.
The thing is, sometimes you can actually breakaway quietly from detection range if you are quick, but the dog does not let aggro slide.

>>492201113
when I do the backpacker thing on bots I'm on AMR and RG, either of those trivializes any amount of rocket chickens

>2k updoot thread calling them out on reddit
>all the doomers trash them in the comments
>reddit got shut down
arrowkeks won

>>492199693
too lazy to test but I'm pretty sure only the bushwhacker does

>make HMG a backpack stratagem
>make heavy armour immune to flinching from small arms fire
ARROWHEAD, I have FIXED YOUR GAME

>>492201691
If you're avoiding bots it's because you're low on ammo/stims/stratagems/reinforcements to begin with

>>492198113
Really, unless its an engine made by the developer themselves, the "engine limitation" excuse just means
>we don't wanna do it
Because most of the time their engine has the same programming capabilities as any other, the only thing different is how their engine handles graphics and physics.

Is D10 getting easier or am I becoming better?

>>492186983
GG's boys. Fun games. I'll bbl.

>>492202937
I think it's very dependent on the day. Some days, I feel like I'm fighting up Hill 271 in Vietnam. Other days, I feel like it's just D9 with some extra motion.

D10 total bot death

How exactly does the "reduced vision range" from fod modifiers (i.e every other planet) ACTUALLY work with bots. Because as far as my experience goes, it just affects the initial aggro range but after that doesn't mean shit. The upshot being that if you get into a scrap on a planet where you can't see your hand in front of your face, all the chain-aggro'd robots dropped 500m away will still be shooting at you despite never having made """real""" visual contact.

>>492203413
It's realistic. So that means the bots aren't affected at all.

>>492202937
I think they toned down the enemy count due to crashes. It definitely feels less intense than when it was released

>>492203413
If anything is aggro'd to you or the group before a storm albeit blizzard, sandstorm, etc., they'll shoot at you and through it. I don't know why this is. That's why smokes are damn near useless even for a SEAF artillery because they'll just ignore it.

>>492203413
It doesn't
Getting sniped by completely invisible turret cannons is indented behavior and that patch note is just placebo for retards

>>492203383

>>492203225
Played 3 D7 on bugs yesterday.
The first 2 were uneventful fully controlled clean sweeps.
The third one was Behe-Titan-Imp spam, that the moment a breach occurs, there is always a patrol that creeps up from behind. By the time you are done with one or the other, another patrol is already around the corner. Literally had a moment where bugs were closing in from all directions. It was cool but not something i expect from D7.

>>492203413
As described, it only matters if you're already undetected. If you're in a fight enemies completely ignore fog no matter how far away you are.

>>492203863
Idk. I haven't played D7 since I got the game months ago.

There is a pretty big variablity even in the difficulties between how it handles enemy compsition, base layouts, reinforcements, what kind of map its.
Yesterday I had an absolutely miserable time on the spooky swamp biome vs. d10 bots. Just nothing would go right, every single line of fire was covered by bots perfectly, couldn't peak past cover properly because I couldn't see shit.
Actual failed mission due to reinforcements running out, I haven't done that since maybe when I was new.

But also you are probably getting better.

every time I switch armors I remember everything I love about it
fortified commando just feels so retarded and fun on d10 bots, tanking instakills for any other unit before just dying to impact anyway, running around in the huge fucking shell, etc.

probably the most fun armor in the game just for the purpose of roleplaying as a superheavy SEAF unit that gets shit done
the +15% resist over heavy is unironically the breaking point that lets you feel like a one man army when other armors don't, especially if you can slurp an ally's shield/supply pack

>>492204071
fortified is the best shit in this game, my armor perk for every mission period

>>492204071
PP gives your sniper accuracy
Engi kit gives you more dps.
Padded lets you tank way more boolets
Medikit gives you more immortality

>>492204071
Default armor never lets me down. Sturdy, mobile, reliable, looks fantastic.
