Therapy Edition>Previous>>496674695>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/>NEWSSept 17: 1.001.100 Patch https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/7147864422081646859Sept 18: 1.001.101 Hotfix https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4679892274002466936Sept 19: Chemical Agents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnHr4URSXisSept 24: 1.001.102 Patch https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/4679892274020252124>CURRENT WARBONDSept 19: Chemical Agents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnHr4URSXis

DO NOT VOTE FOR ANYONE THAT SELF NOMINATES! THAT IS THE SIGN AUTHORITARIANS!
>>4967522633/4
What if instead of 1k kills crash it actually has to do with shooting bot drops?Would explain why it doesn't seem to happen on the bug front and why it feels so inconsistent.
>>496752813>shoot bot drops profusely>reach 1k kills every matchhonestly I believe this might be somewhat relatedI stopped sweating my balls off shooting down all the dropships and the crashes seemed to have decreased
Why is some faggot "explosion" at the end of thermite grenade where most of the damage comes from? It should be the burning part, no?These would be a lot more balanced if burn's duration and damage was extended while explosion was removed. Just make it take more time to kill shit (but still 1 charge)
>>496753206The thermite grenades burning deals damaged (but only to you if you cook them too long)

>>496753945I know it deals burning damage (it also harms enemies), it's just that lion's share of damage comes from the explosion. Thermites should deal more damage in the "burn" phase which would also last longer and explosion should be removed.

everyone ive seen use the tesla tower always throws it on top of the zone we are defending or trying to take, where it becomes a hazard more for us than the enemywhy dont they throw it under a drop or on top of a breach? does it get destroyed instantly that way or are they just dumb?
>>496758980LC?
>>496752003The AC is meh.It is also a retarded choice to take a main and supp that are tailored to mid-long ranges.
>>496752263>>496759020Is that what happened
>>496759691yeah
>>496758980Just needs EATs holding it all up like Atlas.
>>496758980which zoomermeme is the arc thrower?
>>496759298Ideally, the area between you and the breach is wide enough to place a tesla there so that AT can kill a heavy going for it and still be at a safe distance from you.In reality, that area is way too narrow most of the time and will either land on top of the breach or be a threat to you.Just take any other sentry instead.
>>496758980I assume RR users are a fed cat and QC/Spear are the two girls pointing fingers at it.>>496759935EATs is a cliptohoarder.

>>496760825Speaking of break action. Wtf is the point of if? It’s so shit that they didn’t put it in as a stratagem you can call down, does no damage. I don’t get it.

>>496761795>retards pretending that EATs/Commando are good
>>496761795Perfection.
>>496761480I suspect it's supposed to indicate how much better helldiver weapons on than those otherwise available.
>>496761795
>>496761795The /hdg/ tier list.
>>496762004>goodNope. EAT is the best
>>496762004They count how good they are by the amount of times they call in their supp.
If EATs are so good, then why are they expendable? Why are there no EAT 2? Checkmate EATards
>>496761795Now primaries, starting with
>>496762004>T. Butthurt ACsissie
>>496761795>doomer and nigga both have the LCOne of these is supposed to be the QC, I guess?

>>496762235>the drop pod actually brings in 2 EATsThis anon was never seen again.
>>496762235>why are they expendable?It's not good to attach yourself to material possessions. Also there is EAT 2. Every calldown you get EAT 1 and EAT 2.
>>496761795commandofags wish they were on the same tier as EAT
>>496762372the differences in the icon is so fucking subtle it's hard to pick up on
>>496762372Shit.My bad. Doomer is supposed to be LC.
>>496762372we all know doomer is the LC and quasar is the nigger.LC will never get a substantial enough buff and quasar has been the "le meta bugs" weapon on reddit for 3 months
>>496762635>we are buffing the LC>write it into the patchnotes>uh no, sorry, we actually weren't but forgot to remove itJUST
For me, it's the steriliser. I had my highest ever kill game with it therefore it's good.
>>496760271>Dominator for bots, Torcher for bugs>Verdict or Stim Pistol>Stun or Thermite, depending on team loadout>Recoilless, sometimes Grenade Launcher for bugs>Walking>Airstrike>120 or another Eagle for bots, depending on team loadout and specific mission>Gatling, MG or AC Sentry for bugs
I like using the Break Action.Cause i like the break action.It's good and satisfying on diff 1-3.
>>496752060This is a glowie data collection btw.
>>496761045It's surprisingly good a headshotting devs
>>496762995what are they going to do with your steam ID? look you up?
>>496762814How? The steriliser has no damage, it's just a shortrange braindamage sprayer
>>496762235>If EATs are so good, why are there no EAT2?Brother we are at 17 already.
>>496762635The LC is the gun I take to bots from time to time because I think I can make it work this time for sureAfter one mission it goes back into the locker to collect dust
>>496763248>patrol charges towards you>walk backwards while hosing them all down>kill the harder targets with primary>move on while rover finishes them offThe confusion effect applies to chargers too so you can just spray em and ignore them. I find it's actually hard to die when running the steriliser.
>>496763847It needs to laydown clouds so you can spray it similar to the flame thrower and leave AoE laying around to constantly tick enemies that pass through it.Also the confusion tick needs to proc faster.
>>496764061The acid rain effect present on piss planets would turn it and the brapdog into S tier weapons.
>>496763497thank fuck I'm not the only onethe LC should really be better than it is, same with scythe and dagger
>>496764061I'm fine with it as is but it and the flamethrower would seriously benefit from longer range. That and an armor reduction mechanic would be great.
>>496763497I always take the LC on bots
I know it will never happen but I wish we got like a 32 player mode but there are no reinforcements.I feel like it would have a lot of shitpost potential and I miss shit like huge E.Y.E., Sven etc. 4chan lobbies.
clan shit will kill this general with its faggotry, mark my words
>>496764784>and an armor reduction mechanic would be great.that's what gas should doif anything has a confusion mechanic it should be smoke...i guess? but confusion seems to be a situationally better stun and is kind of uninspired
>>496765459we'll get through somehow
>>496761480>dropped your support and got reinforced on the other side of the map>didn't pack any support weapons and haven't found anything better
>>496763497it's a good support to round out the xbow, but if I'm bringing a non explosive primary ill probably take RR instead. i like it in general for gunships and walkers though. i cant pinpoint hulk eyes with it anymore since the update but that's just a me problem
>>496765395Impossible due to demands of simulating 32 capes.
>>496765459>no no you don't understand we have to vote because it's DEMOCRACYthat faggot is from reddit and we all know itif you fall for his bullshit guild you deserve what you get

>>496766736Why pick sprint booster anymore? We got stimpistols now.
>>496766736I can agree with you about vitality booster, but the sprint booster is not as needed. I successfully play with heavy by just staggering and killing everything without ever needing to run or kite.
>>496767086>pubsno one is using the stim pistol outside of hdg lobbies
>>496766736how the fuck would anyone know you want a sprint booster picked? nobody uses it

>>496768021>>496768026My fellow sons of our Lord and Creator.
>>496765395>everyone brings orbital napalm>my GPU melts
>>496763248Im convinced people that say the sterilizer is good are baiting. The effect is basically moot, if they're targeting you they will complete their swing and due to the weapons short range means you will be taking a hit from them.And if you're taking hits from enemies in close range you might as well just use flamer or torcher.Gas grenades are god tier if your team isn't packing chaff clear.
>>496762626so who and where is the actual AMR?
>>496767976yeah + PUBG has 50 vs. 50 and 10 vs. 90 zombie players, but only asian servers do it
>>496768337In the shadows, waiting fo the Hulk to stop bobbing around.
>no fix to flamethrower DPSAite it's joever. They saw the DPS was the same as the torcher and said that's fine. No reason to run flamethrower never ever
>5 games without crashesis this what it feels to be happy?I think it was because I had on some cpu option or because I moved helldivers to top priority, anyways I can finally play bots again
>>496768310Yeah, it's probably the same people the think the Libconc is good because muh CCJust use a flamethrower, you can just kill all that shit instead of handing out some brain damage
>>496767687tell me you don't play d10 without telling me you don't play d10
>>496768572But they are right if they are playing vs bugs lmao. You are stupid if you think that stagger is not king for bugdiving.
>dude GL is awesome and fun now on both bugs AND bots you gotta try it!!!!>it's fucking shit on botsfuck you niggers
>>496768572At least the libconc has range.I could see SOME use for it like with laser drone. Because it actually pushes the enemy where you want them to be. Blitzer and cookout sorta do the same job but better, but it's still a valid niche.
>>496769000>deletes everything that's smaller than a hulk>shitsounds like a skill issue
>>496769000Skissue desu, it's great on bots.
>>496769000What's your issue? If you are struggling with heavies then take EATs and/or thermite.The only weapon as good at taking down groups of devs is airburst launcher. Don't be afraid to lay on the trigger, the fact it's automatic actually comes in handy on bots because you want shit to be dead ASAP.
>>496769000What's that? You suck shit?

>>496768493This is literally what the community wanted. It has no right to demand otherwise.
>>496770156Me too.
>>496769184It can also kill Hulks with between-the-leg shots to splash the heat sink.
>>496770385What do you mean?It's nerfed to like be barely stronger than release flamethrower. Only upside it has is the armor pen.
>>496770807Actually no it IS release flamethrower with AP 4.
>>496768493whats the bug
>>496770807Exactly. The fix to flamethrower mechanics from EoF would have given it consistent damage and higher overall DPS. But the community were being fucking idiots and wanted the old VFX combined with being able to kill Chargers from the front (they'll never admit the latter). So now they get stuck with the inferior product that they asked for.
>>496771063They copy pasted the torchers system to the flamethrower. Originally flamethrower would do 200 ticks of damage per second. So with 3 damage per tick it did 600 damage. Torcher would do 100 ticks for 2 damage. By copy pasting the flame code to all the flamers, they forgot to set a tick value unique to all of them, and the flamethrower now has the same 100 ticks per second, now only doing 400 damage.So they "buffed" the damage per tick from 3 to 4. But they halved the ticks.
>>496770449Is this always what you think of when you see a peaked cap?
>>496770156I wish we could unlock gear from our achievements insted of just buying it. Also the capes in first game look sick.
>>496771518But the old "inferior product" had higher DPS.
>>496771518>flamethrower should have gone back to being a meme weapon only good for chaff and setting yourself on fireSet yourself on fire, retard.
>>496771914He can't the flamethrower is bad for it now.
>hmm today I will try the GL on bugs>get hunter seed where every enemy is a giganigger that jumps in your face
>>496772156>He doesn't have something in his kit specifically for hunters Especially when it's so easy to find something that hard counters them.
>>496772156Idk, just don't run into tight places? Or use an ally as decoy and shoot shit that isn't closest to him (that will indeed help him).

actual real shotgun support weapon could be cool. Imagine something like an 80 round belt fed 4 gauge auto shotgun. The ultimate close range swarm clear. Similar power to the MG but you trade range for more daka. Id love that.
>>496773343>>496773423Lying niggers.

I play bots not because I like playing against them, but because every victory against these faggots gets us closer to cyberstan and we´ll get to wipe them off the face of the fucking galaxy. Every death or failure fuels my hatred and motivates me to hit the clankers back twice as hard.
>>496772868You will never convince me that the average bugdiver somehow knows more about the game than even fucking Alexus.
>>496773784>evaporates themThats something deeprock does pretty well that I've never noticed from helldivers. Enemy death variety depending on what killed them. Glyphids in deeprock can get popped like balloons from embedded explosives, blown apart by grenades, melted and dissolved in acidic goo, frozen and shattered into chunks, literally vaporized into ash by plasma weaponry. Enemies in helldivers don't really die in any interesting ways that I've noticed.

>>496774758Nigger Alexus thought removing the shrapnel from the eruptor wouldn't affect its breakpoints, that's how bad it is at narrowhead
>>496775608No, Arrowhead is really good.
watyou can find primaries on the ground?since when was this a thing?
>>496775393I think this patch fucked arc thrower some how.Used to be able to stun chargers out of their charge, now you can't. Also laser rover feels considerably weaker than before. Takes a noticible 2 seconds to kill an alpha warrior. But maybe I'm just not used to it targeting alphas.
>>496775785I think that only happens on high value evac missions. The spawn pool is larger than other missions, once I found a RR without a backpack
>>496774758Genuinely think they were just being deceptive when they said they "buffed" the flamethrower. They didn't want to say "oh well we have to actually nerf the DPS, but we upped the damage per tick by 33%"
]>>496775830>I think this patch fucked arc thrower some how.>Used to be able to stun chargers out of their charge, now you can't.Literally just you, I just got done stunlocking 3 chargers and a sporefucker in a neat little line mid-charge. Love my expanded circuits.

>>496774758What's it like being a teenager today?Is it really as bad for you as everyone believes?
>>496776110I hope every dss mo isn't 5 days long. Cause damn it's a drag to just wait around

>>496776332Good things come to those who wait
>>496775830it stuns each time for me. if anything, i think they made it miss more again after the big update
>>496776593I've noticed that it seems to wiff when it comes to differences in elevation more often.
>>496775785Are you sure someone just didn't die there? Dropped primaries are free because everyone always respawns with one.
>>496775785I usually see them at the fake super sample rock, but only above D4
>>496775785breaker incendiary is in the ground weapon poolso is scythe. i think low diff exclusive PoIs
>>496776003The funny thing is that every AP4 weapon is now equally terrible at killing heavies, because they have so much HP that you need a proper AT weapon to kill them. So all the community's whining ultimately got them nowhere on that front.
>>496777286on bots*chargers die to 3 AMR shots and titans die to 11 AMR shots.but yeah i agree with your statement in the context of bots

>D7 solo eradicate missions still impossibleHow do they not know how broken their game is?
>>496780238It used to have the shrapnel from the orbital airburst, now it's stuck with shrapnel from the frag grenade which is much worse.Just use the crossbow if you want an explosive primary, it's unironically the best primary in the game right now
>>496780238The skill issue is off the charts.
>>496780648?Why?
>>496780756The frag grenade has shrapnel?
>>496780648The game shouldn't accommodate playing solo
>>496780648that would require them to play the game>>496780779Reinforcements come in so slow that you cannot kill enough enemies to reach 100% before the timer runs out
>>496780854Where do you think the 'frag' part of 'frag grenade' comes from?
>>496780779they've scaled down the tempo of reinforcement and broke it completely for solo players and that's a good thing
>>496779459you could go in game and try it
Hey Arrowhead, could we get a rifle of the same caliber and barrel length as the HMG, with the scope of a marksman's rifle, and with a standard magazine? Maybe we could make a new Liberator rifle with those specifications in the next warbond. We could call it the Liberator Piercer, or Liberator Perforater...
>>496781627How many DMRs does this game need at this point?We already have 6 ARs.6 shotguns.
>>4967802381. The Eruptor will never be as strong as it was during release, because as the other anon said it used to use Orbital Airburst shrapnel, which made it stronger than most support weapons.2. Literal skill issue on your part, current Eruptor is much stronger than explosive-only Eruptor at its peak as long as you're not trying to shoot high-durability targets.>>496781627The HMG is more or less fine as it is. Just set it to low RPM and learn to burst fire, it's not hard.
>>496781918That only works at short ranges. The scope is too shitty to snipe with it.
>>496782106>sniping with a machine gunJust use the AMR if you want to do that.
>>496781902We only have 2 marksman's rifles though
>>496781902We have 2, and honestly only one of them is worth using. The HMG DMR is a good idea.

I want to point out to the general population that bugs are easier than bots, but there is an adjustment period for each front. If you do not allow yourself that period, your opinions might be completely incorrect and your brain needs correction. Further, we need an armor shader system, but all it needs to do is give us the default black and gold trim on all existing and future armors. In addition to the above, the DSS should be a form of managed democracy where the devs only give us so many planets to vote on, so that bugdiver morons won't hog it. Lastly, if the Illuminate don't show up soon, that's fine, but we at least need the Cyberstan Automatons to get released along with more variety of bot units. Remove rocket striders though. Last point of today's meeting, the liberator is a good weapon.

>>496792845It's still not the accurate DMR it was introduced as, but it's decent on bugs because it's an AP3 AR. Shoot hive guards, commanders, and spewers in the face with it.

Use it to control your enemies and buy space and and you can lock down an entire section of bugs, shoot a lot earlier than you'd think and it'll still confuse the fuck out of them, then, switch to your primary and pummel away at helpless bugs.You can literally aim up and spray in arcs and it'll fucking kill shriekers while they're dancing.

>>496807753I did not no.I died and the fag raced to get the reinforce off.

>>496812798Cookout is more retard-proof since you can push Alphas and Hunters away and has probably the best ammo economy in the game
>>496813740People who included their stats are attention whoring, most of them are also cringe bug divers lmao.Especially the first two edgy retards, they surely think they are already in the bag with the amount of edge they put on their shit.
>>496813917Well shiiiid steam://joinlobby/553850/109775241923722464/76561198024623656Super intelligence reports suggest that Osama Bot Laden is operating in our next operation. That's right! (You) could be the next diver to take down the greatest terrorist threat that Super Earth has ever faced!
If you want a balanced view of stats between bug and botdivers, what would be an effective multiplier for automaton kills? 1.2x? 1.4x? 2x? Botfront kill counts average 150-300 (225 avg based on not researched guessing), buggfront kill counts average 250-400 (325 avg based on not researched guessing). About a 1:1.4 ratio, I guess?It's hard to calculate, because you definitely will see huge bug games that hit ~1k+ kills on a single player. The highest bot kill counts I've seen all fall short of 600 (1.4*600<1000). It's pretty hard to level the playing field, numbers-wise.
Why are people so weird about hosting their own lobbies? Not just on here, but in general. People bitch and moan about the state of pubs or getting kicked all goddamn day, but then refuse to just... host their own shit. It's truly baffling, desu. There's always going to be mouthbreathers random queuing, you'll always get joiners. And people here who say 'lobby lobby lobby' all day just fuckin post your own already holy shit.
>>496814346Most of this general is bugdivers talking mad shit and pretending to be hard.
>>496814643nobody likes being accountable for what happensmost people are naturally submissive and agreeable and they just want to go with what others say and do
>>496814346I only included my stats because the guy asked. I am not edgy, just being honest. It is very dumb this has to occur. I am a meektard and just want the cringe to end.
>>496814825But nothing changes except you won't get randomly kicked. You just mute annoying people and play the game. Literally nothing changes it makes no sense to me. Also you get to pick the operation you want to play... It makes my brain hurt trying to get myself in a headspace where such a simple fucking thing gets people twisted.
>>496814643Low-t levels leads to low-t behavior.
>>496811970the de facto most overpowered type of bug loadout right now is double napalm plus green/blue heavy killers. this is how I usually build mine:stratagems: napalm airstrike, napalm orbital barrage, rocket sentry, explosive support weapon (spear and RR if lazy, autocannon and grenade launcher if willing to aim)for your primary, take either of the fire shotguns - cookout spreads the fire dot less quickly but is easier to manage, plus it has top tier stagger force making it the most idiot-friendly pick on bug sidesecondary, obviously the grenade pistol to shred bug nests and do the occasional cool as fuck clutch killtertiary, thermite grenades as extra insurance against big bugs, alternatively gas grenades for sealing off chokepoints and synergizing with your eagle/orb

>>496776332Mind this is just them setting up the lab. The science boys on Turing probably won't even make that breakthrough after the MO succeeds. It'll probably have to take them a good few weeks to a month to come up with a more fuel efficient FTL.
>>496783779It's Managed Democracy, anon. You don't get to vote on a candidate, you vote based on a bunch of questions of what you think about democracy and so and such, and then the AI decides what's the best option for you.
>>496814554One bot for every two bugs is probably the average
>>496815556Yeah and we gotta get through liberty day. AND don't forget about all the defenses of Gaellivare they have to spam out, AND defenses of other planets to stall our progress from protecting it so that it won't be "too easy" (i.e. Joel needs to railroad us so his job isn't hard). So yeah we'll get the DSS by christmas maybe if we're lucky. Illuminate never ever they can't even get their stupid new bot units working right.
>>496816229Gotta protect the lab until the science nerds cook up the new tech and also protect Trash since that's where all the parts for the DSS are being stockpiled too.
>>496768493Reminder that I told them about this problem a week ago. I don't think anyone else reported flamethrower problems directly to the staff, and the community is too busy using actually good weapons to realize the flamethrower isn't working right, let alone not worth using in the first place. They could fix the damage and with how fire ricochets at the player, fails to pierce enemies, etc, it still wouldn't be worth using. It's a lost cause and these swiggers won't bother fixing it since nobody is complaining at them.
>>496814643my ISP can be described as disingenuous hebrews that run a trashy shoestring infrastructure which makes my connection sputter out for a good few seconds at least once and up to several times a day. which would be a mere inconvenience in pretty much all other games but in this one it has a high potential to break the lobby and give everyone AIDS.
>>496807239i get it, but it's a toss up. more than half of the people i end up playing with in pubs leave if they aren't reinforced immediately and i think most people, unless it's a grinder situation, would rather be back in action than sitting around watching, unfortunately
>>496816784It's a bit better since they relaxed the poor connection kick

>>496818835Bigger blast radius exterior, so that it absolute fucks over people that shoot it up close.That's it honestly. I think all other weapons should be on the same tier as Xbow.

Where's the content? 4 weeks of DSS MOs is not content.
>>496819964Pretty much, yeah. It also pierces units very far away. Try using it for some long bursts while sweeping your aim from one side to the other, then switching to your primary and clear away. You're not meant to be using it like the flamethrower killing things (because why would they release just a reskinned flamethrower?), it's a different weapon for different purposes.Hell, you can puff a charger on his face while he's charging at you and if he's far enough he'll actually miss you by a wide margin, it's only an objectively bad weapon against bile titans, tanks, factory striders and stuff because they're literally immune to the confusion effect.
>>496820476Purifier buff soon(tm)
>>496820413I have often found people that doodle for fun are pretty chill
>>496816490Why should napalm "pierce" enemies? It'd make more sense for it to "splatter" off of them to create burning aoe around. Overall it just needs more range and damage.

Gentlemen, I hate sweden
any lobbies?
>>496806887>>496820924I just tested it. It is only 18 meters (exactly the same as all other flame weapons)., and does not "extend" in range the longer you shoot it. Sterilizer is shit, and recommending it is bait.

>>496829484>damage exceeded well over cape-shredding requirementkek what the fuck
>>496820924It's really fun to fuck with chargers but this 40 range shit is bs. I've been doing a lot of gas armor, gas strike, gas grenades, sterilizer, and torcher for my damage. It's way too much fun even if though I know it's not as strong as just killing things. Plus shriekers fuck you hard.
>weapons and equipment OSP (on-site procurement)how fucked are you?
>>496830032Give me like 30 mins
>>496830983Well when the guards don't seem to care about your existence, should be pretty easy (when they don't hide their weapons underground)
>>496830983>can only melee>need to find a support weapon from a vault/ammo cachebe kinda fun to do that like solo with throwing knives only. No callins, no resupplies, need to find ammo from POIs. Not sure what difficulty you'd do that on.
>>496829484>>496830764I gotta admit, dying in retarded and stupid ways is one of the best parts of this game.
>>496831210If they wanted to actually make it, they should make it so that all points of interest have a random weapon or stratagem on them. Then it'd be doable on d10
>>496831307I was just saying for a self imposed challenge.Maybe pistol only until you find a support weapon.
>>496830983If POIs had a 30-50% support weapon spawn rate on them, it would be extremely easy.
>>496830424>3 chargers is "too many chargers'holy fucking shit bugdivers are fucking pussies and ruined the game with their fucking whinging
Actually looks kinda fun.

>>496831969>trying to walk it backYou were the one that titled the webm "too many chargers" which is the same as saying you find the amount of chargers shown in the webm to be unreasonable. Nobody could see or tell there were more before or after as that information was not included. the only evidence we have for what you consider to be an excessive amount was the three shown.
>>496831598>>496832376You are autistic and don't understand jokes, get a personality outside of hd2.

>>496834965Yeah honest people just want to shoot more bugs. Just need more frequent spawns but not too much that the game turns into kite diver.

>bugfuckers still coping about playing on easy mode
>>496836897honestly fuck that, one nice thing about bugs is that they spawn a shit load of enemies with low HP. So AOE weapons that do piddle damage actually have a nice niche clearing off dangerous chaff like hunters.

It's an incredibly good thing to start the evac, hell on D10 i'd prefer rushing to the evac as soon as main obj is done.Getting inside the evac is a bad thing.

>>496833501The current spawn rate on bugs is still too low, though the number of heavies feels about right. They should increase the spawn rate of small bugs, as in give us 25% more Bile Spewers and 50% more Warriors and Hive Guards. Give Hive Guard heads the same protection as Heavy Devastator shields, give us more Alpha Commanders and Hunters, make Stalkers spawn in patrols.In short, make the bugs actually feel like an unstoppable tide that takes all the firepower in the world to turn.

I toss out my orbitals without much of a care, I just expect people to not walk directly into them, unless they want to die. I also always ping them or even message in chat when I toss them out, if they are too close.I always take someone's resupply if they die or if they are too far away, since they either don't need it or can't take it, and me being full means I can do more.I 60% of the times call the resupplies at my position, since it's good to call them off cooldown everywhere.I always stim at full health just for stamina regen if I need to keep on running (the stim that could have saved you, was used to give me movement).I bet my reasonable, logical and rational decisions make people seethe.I bet newfags will unironically point out or think "reddit spacing".
>>496843551reddit spacing
>>496843551these are all fine. i dont understand why people ever get mad at teammates in this game. as long as we at complete the mission i dont care if everyone dies at extract because it literally doesnt matter. ive never kicked anybody for any reason other than intentional teamkilling and i never will.
>>496843551>I toss out my orbitals without much of a carethis is hostile behaviour btw, it is not reasonable to expect other people to do YOUR positioning FOR you

Do any of you wonder if stalker patrols are gonna make a comeback in the higher difficulties? We used to have them in HD1, and I was just thinking that the only way to make the game harder is to increase elite units by now, but I think facing only alpha commanders and having shriekers/stalkers be default patrols would be kind of boring too.
>>496847084I wish they doI want Stalkers up my ass, so to speak
>>496847084I'd doubt it. Stalker AI is already programmed to just walk directly towards you and always know where you are. Patrols wouldn't really work for them. The "roaming stalkers" map modifier would be a decent addition to high diff.
>>496846212be glad.gunship patrols actually take up 3 regular patrols worth of creditsfor every gunship that spawns, you get 10 less devastators.
>>496847084We need fart charger patrols, just a giant stinky fog cloud wandering the battlefield
>>496847084Doubt, they're too lethal of a unit for roaming patrols, what they could do is add a non invisible, different colored stalker variant that rushes you when you're detected
>>496847084Stalkers were a joke in the first game, you would just melee them
>>496847084Stalker patrols wouldn't do anything unless they actively seek you out.But patrols can't do that.Also Stalkers in general are neutered by shotguns.You could spawn 300 Stalkers in front of me, I wouldn't flinch for a second and take them all out just with a Cookout.I think the only way to make the game hard for bugs at this point is to add a Spore Charger + Impaler combo to every patrol and make all the other units alpha commanders and hunters and also spawn a patrol of 20 shriekers behind you when you get ingaged by the Spore Charger, but that's extremely artificial and unfun.
>>496847828>actively seek you out.>But patrols can't do that.wrong on so many levelsthey absolutely canactivating certain secondary ovjective terminals SPAWN a patrol headed to that terminal exactlyand periodically patrols are pinged to your location.try it out, go hide in a random crevice and after like 5-10 minutes a patrol will find you
>>496847828>But patrols can't do that.They kinda do indirectly Patrol spawns, starts moving. If it moves away from you, it despawns. If it moves towards you, it stays. Because of this all patrols magically go after you.
>>496847084Bugs need more mid-tier enemies for sure that arent just bullet sponges.Having a non-mutated alpha "hunter" that is just a stalker that cant go invisible would be a good start.Same behavior as stalkers but doesn't disengage to regen and tries to jump smack you like hunters, same total health/armor as stalkers.Same tier as alpha commanders where the game rolls to spawn an alpha commander or alpha hunter.
>>496840326Are you talking about ohdough randomizer video? Seemed pretty competent with it, this shit could kill ~8 bugs before needing to reload lmaoYou sound like a coping contrarian desu, some weapons are just dogshit and you're allowed to like them, it's fine
>>496843551>first point of a weebshitter's post is literally "I'm throwing shit like a toddler, it's YOUR fault if you die"Didn't read + ur a retard lmao
>>496848159>grappling tongueNow that would actually be a death sentence every time even if it didn't ragdoll you.
thoughts?
>>496848159I'd like more specialized roles in bugs in general, at least for higher difficulties.Things that aren't just more HP blobs with armor, have the gas from Bile Spewers actually disorient your aim and movement a little like our gas, Fire Shriekers that spew fucking fire on the ground to try to break your movement, a small swarm of antsized bugs (modelled in game as a single entity of a flowing disk on the ground) that slowly climbs on top of your helldiver and force you to jump to safety (but is super weak to anything AOE like a single impact grenade, etc), I don't fucking know, I just need things to go CUHRAZEE in complexity.
>>496848864What about bugs that can shoot you, like hydralisks or something
>>496846317You need them a lot more than they nerd you.
>>496848914Nah, I'm okay with leaving the faction identity of "shoots at you" to the bots while we have "runs after you" in bugs.Although bots do have berserkers, I think bugs are OK with spewers shooting with indirect fire / spewing bile.
>>496846212You can check the modifiers on the mission select screen before you launch in, sometimes those modifiers aren't listed mid-mission when you bring up the minimap.
>>496847990>try it out, go hide in a random crevice and after like 5-10 minutes a patrol will find youI've done that when waiting at extraction, hiding behind buildings in the most hidden places possible. Damn troopers will always zero in on my position and start something.
Thinking of zerg, I'm surpised we don't have something like banelings yet. Some mutated hunter that jumps at you and explodes. I mean we already have one-shot bile everywhere, might as well have kamikaze bile hunters.
>>496848816You're missing the new brapthrower. And the arc thrower.
>>496848816>not the gasthrower for HitlerYou had ONE (1) JOB
Alright sisters how the FUCK do I dodge bile spewers spit or is it just guaranteed damage
>>496849403Step 1 : pick crossbow
>>496849403Dive away within 0.3s, otherwise it's ogreIt's much easier to kill or at least stagger themSpewer damage is no joke in this patch lmao
>>496849403You can't, wear explosive resist armor.
>audio fix>now you can hear shriekers swooping down on youNeat
>>496849403run to to the side, don't dive
>>496848816this image was created by someone who plays exclusively d7 bugs
>>496849403you don't, you stagger them out of spitting and kill them before they can do it, make sure you have a med pen or explosive weapon
>>496849403Either short burst with the MG, three or so rounds of your DCS, single crossbow bolt to the face, or some other variation of kill it before it kills you.Less optimal is to run at it and dive diagonally towards and to the side of it before it starts spewing. Closer you are the easier it is to get beyond its max turn angle.
>>496849131extraction is different.when it is available (doesn't have to be started) and a player is within its area, ALL NEARBY PATROLS will be directed to the extraction beacon immediately
>bile spitter ptoo's at me>flies right past my head>hit, slowed, DoT applied anywayI hate these little green fucks. I hope the next warbond includes a pair of big leather boots so I can stomp them into paste.
>>496849623Nursing spewers were always scarier for me cause they'd move in FAST and kill you instantly with their spit. I wouldn't even have to dodge bile spewer spit before, it'd just tickle. But those orange bastards? No way.
>>496774617>we´ll get to wipe them off the face of the fucking galaxyFor 3 days*
>>496849403As a rule of thumb, you FUCKING DON'T let them come close enough to spit on you.Explosive xbow, Eruptor, Diligence, GL, AC, fucking airstrike them if you need to
>>496849403JUMP PACK
>they don't know that AMR 1-shots the green spewers
>>496838517He clearly had no time to react, this looks like a jumpscare.

Easier with light or medium armor.

>>496849403You leap in any direction, even leaping away from them worksThe problem with increased DPS from bile spewers and hulks is that you get damaged before that spray is rendered on your screen because of lagSo you need to leap when you see them prepare for attack / expect the attack, not when you are covered in green goo. Leap preemptively and immediately start running in the same direction. They will attack the place you were at before leaping, and slowly adjust the angle, but you will outrun the spray.
>Shelt resistance has dropped to 0.5%We're doing it, botbros!
>>496855210put in fucking place lmao
heh heh
>>496854748This games lives this superposition of being engaging and requiring skill, but also of being seen as a party game. Which I don't blame the developers for, because it actually is a great party game, and has the just right themes and mood for it, it's just that these are highly clashing points of view.This isn't a new issue in the medium anyway, it's what Richard Garfield heavily touches on one of his lectures, "Luck in Games", so the developers will always face this issue as long as they posit themselves in this middle-ground where they try to satisfy everyone.Given how much money HD2 makes being more casual friendly however, and further reinforced by the recent success of the most recent patch, it's likely they will go more and more into the party game territory.
>>496855089>I'm being contrarian just for the sake of itThanks for letting me know I guess
>before the big buff patch mission success rate was at about 90%>patch happens and turns the game super easy>success rate is now at 81%What's happening?

>>496855404more players going into higher difficulties and getting BTFO even with all the enemy nerfs. The majority of playerbase probably still lives in D6
>>496855404Two things.1. A ton of shitters came back lowering the success rate.2. I dont KNOW if this is true but there seems to be some sort of dynamic difficulty in the game. You delete 8 patrols of devastators together in 2 seconds each? You get more spawns.If you take 30 seconds per. You get fewer.
>>496855404Game is actually harder now,but brain-damaged discord doom drones can't grasp that lol + lmao
>>496853846Who are you talking to
>>496855626>You delete 8 patrols of devastators together in 2 seconds each? You get more spawns.It's not dynamic difficulty it's just how it works Game spawns shit until it hits the cap on units. You kill units, free slots, game spawns more units
The defense for Mastia actually looks decently doable. But then again, just keeping on hammering at Shelt will immediately end that attack anyways.
>>496855941So wait, it is potentially benefitial to not kil the whole patrol but leave a few straglers behind? Leaving a patrol slot closed unless one more is "crippled" to free up enough unit slots to create a replacement patrol out of 2 crippled ones?That kinda would explain why at times it seems like you are getting nonstop patrols then sometimes you feel like playing diff5 or 4.
>>4968554041. People believe they can handle D10 now and get their asses handed to them2. Bugdivers went to the bot front for the MO and got humbled
>you will never have a tomboy viper commando diver gf to spot forBros, I dont know if I can keep going.
>>496856117Judging by the increasing player count on Mastia, this just confirms how utterly retarded the avarage player is
>>496856349the patrols spawn based on "enemies in combat"this number is one of the coefficients in patrols spawn rate.there are no slots.if you run away from an enemy and disengage, it will despawn IMMEDIATELY, then a new patrol is created when the amount of engaged enemies drops below the threshold.
>>496855096sounds exactly like one or some of the faggots in here
>>496856434>1. [headcanon]>2. [headcanon]cool
>>496856843Sounds like Alexus.
>>496856434>2. Bugdivers went to the bot front for the MO and got humbledTo be H coming from bugdiving to botdiving is so relaxing.You can just sit behind a rock firing RR's at everything. Very chill time.Plus you can just pop those redskullfags to prevent botdrops.A great change of pace compared to bugs where everyone and their whore mother can call in the breach.
>>496856558Maybe arrowhead should explain how this shit works in game instead of relying on their players to spread info from their discord to other social medias. Not that any of this matters, what's Joel gonna do, destroy the DSS? Lmao
>>496853783the answer is objectively "fine if less for striders hulks and fortresses" with the caveat that whoever made it so diving on uneven terrain ragdolls you should be broken at the wheel
>>496854075No one likes having the control of their character taken away from. It's the same reason everyone hates stuns in pvp games. Getting pinball'd around by bots is annoying as fuck especially since half the time there was literally nothing you could do to avoid it.
>>496857118Fuck, they could make a Brasch Tactics and a loading Tip, that explains that planets that are under attack have an "attacking planet" and that capturing the "attacking planet" will severely cull if not outright stop the attack.But why do that if you have a discord circlejerk that just suck you off and don't really care about mechanics or gameplay.
>>496857118I don't think people need an explanation on how capturing the planet where an attack is coming from completely stops the attack.
>>496832835It's 5am and I just woke up
>>496857468Ever since I first read this>No one likes having the control of their character taken away fromEver since I first heard this in balance notes on Overwatch, I'm convinced it must be some massive psyop started out by some retard in just the same way a massive psyop led to HD2's current crazy balance swinging.Casuals and the community in general has no idea what they want, then they hear something that seems vaguely annoying without a specific reason, so that all of the following times it happens they actually start getting annoyed for it and it becomes true. Getting ragdolled, stunned, slowed, or whatever only feels "unfun" because you were taught and fully believe it's unfun. It's all just different states of losing, kind of like a setback.Repeating this>No one likes having the control of their character taken away fromlike a shitty mantra only reinforces this in your mind instead of helping you adjust and improving yourself. It's exactly like the>You must never nerf anything in a PVE gamemantra, it's just absolutely retarded.
>>496857583Because more often than not its not worth attacking the source of the invasion, just look at this one, it took us having the planet 80% captured to us to have a chance to actualy be able to stop the attack on time
>>496857468CC in PvP games says hi to retards that say stupid shit like that.
Sometimes I wonder if this playerbase even likes the game they're playing Besides allowing you to stim before you get up (which would be grea, or letting you choose when to get upt) how the fuck do you change ragdolling without completely neutering it?
>>496857468>It's the same reason everyone hates stuns in pvp games
>>496858080Only 3% are show here to apparently not like the game (with an extra 11% as an rng margin), so the ratio seems favourable.
>>496858080Simple, reduce the forces and downtime when you get ragdolled. Instead of getting launched 10 meters and losing control of your character for 3 seconds, launch them 6 meters and get up after 2 seconds.
>>496856349I don't know the arbitrary rules by which enemies despawn. Sometimes they despawn when player they're aggroed to dies. Sometimes they despawn when you disengage (or don't engage at all and go away). And sometimes they just won't despawn at all and you get diff 5 experience while hordes are stuck behind some mountain, often happens with extractions in the corner of the map.
>>496858264Getting launched 10 meters is funny as fuck and will never lose you a mission you weren't already going to lose.
>>496858080>faster recovery>default to prone (change stance in settings)>stop making the strongest enemies chain ragdoll you so you can't fight back>stop making us ragdoll because there's a 10mm "drop" flatness>stop ragdolling through cover
>>496857468never understood this mentallity of 'stuns bad', this shit ruined games like Overwatch. Retards only ever played glass cannons/healers and would just spout the 'stuns bad' mantra because it was a mechanic their retard character pool didn't have access to.
>>496858009That's cause J.O.E.L. needs to be sat baside Alexus and also fed a nice helping of Surstomming to undestand that excessive modifier alterations for seemingly no reason and amount of succ operations rather than player participation is way too unintuitive to allow people to make plans or decide which planets to attack.
>>496857754People need an explanation of "attack coming from somewhere"Especially since it wasn't even intended mechanic from the start and was adopted after the first le gambit
>>496858080Reduce/rework impact damage, its by far the most inconsistent shit we have yet, you can fall off a tower and take 10% damage or a small hop and take 50% damageremove the barrager rockets from rocket striders, give them a rack of devastator rockets instead
If you use the jetpack and/or the arc thrower I'm just gonna assume that you have braindamage
>>496858480>trying to torture a swede with surströmmingnot gonna work, they eat that shit for fun
hdg trying to be contrarian about ragolling is funny since every time i join a lobby you fags are seething about ragdolling
>>496858080>remove ragdolling when diving on flat surfaces>no forced get up animation>striders rocket blast don't ragdoll you through coverThere you go. Bunker/hulk turrets are debatable, I don't think a laser should ragdoll you if it doesn't hit you directly
>>496858656i seethe about ragdolling every single time i get hit by a robot chicken or barrager tank.
>>496858671if a lazer has enough energy to ragdoll you it should burn you to death on the spot
>>496858671The problem is always that there's not much you can do to individually prevent the ragdoll in this case, they might aim at you 10 times and hit you first shot only once out of those, but it never feels good because as a player you had no input whether his shot would hit or not.
>>496858625Fine, bring out the British Cuisine.
Bros! We must go for the Shelt gambit!
>>496857964>>496858205>>496858351>stuns in competitive PvP is the same as random ragdolls in PvE coopI knew people were retarded, but you contrarian drones are beyond the scale holy fuck LMAO
>>496858671>Bunker/hulk turrets are debatableThey should remove that turret from standard hulks, their regular gun is already lethal as is with its improved rate of fire, give them instead to the Obliterator variant you see in that one mission and make them the Behemoth charger of the bots
>>496859050>It's the same reason everyone hates stuns in pvp games.
>>496858625>the swineserb gambittrust in the surströmming
>>496858858Anon please, no warcrimes in this christian thread
>>496859081Yeah, but it's not a pvp game genius lol
>>496859050>he holds an actual opinion, therefore he's just a contrarianYou believe having less ragdolls will mean you're more in control, but in actuality it just means they should make those things kill you faster to compensate and now the time you're spending lightly ragdolled is just you getting respawned.
>>496859116oh its joel, i'm just too used to wanting the serb tortured in various ways
literally just decrease blast strength/radius on reinforced strider. that's it. if you struggle with other ragdollers then that's a skill issue.
>>496859247>they should make those things kill you faster to compensatefix one thing, immediately make everything else worse, actual swededrone responding in real time lol
>>496847990when a patrol is spawned it is set to walk over the exact spot you were when it spawned, so if you just sit still for 5 minutes of course it's going to look like patrols are homing in on you
Are mines good yet?
>>496859489no, cooldown needs to be HALVED for them to be good
>>496859489>>496859515Why can't they just make it a stock-based stratagem with no cooldown, that would be so much fucking better than this shit
>>496859398I'm just looking at this from a general perspective. If you remove one feature from an enemy's action, that is directly a nerf, but if you just nerf an enemy in a vacuum, a game just gets easier. Therefore, it should be compensated with something else otherwise you mess the fine balance in things.Getting ragdolled/losing control is an important feature of the balance in this game, in particular with how strider rockets and artillery rockets push you out of cover and expose you to other bots. It's meant to be a punishment. It should just be less RNG.
>>496859515this
>>496859489good at killing players yes
>>496859621>It should just be less RNG.Agreed.
>>496855404has to be just shitters 'cause pubs can still rape D10 no problem
>>496859515that or give them charges like Eagles
>>496859621this is nonsense because balance is fucked and bots are considerably harder than bugsyes, if they tone down ragdolling on bots, bots will become easier, who could've guessed?but they will still be harder than bugs
>>496858858also not gonna work, while jellied eels and the like are disgusting the rest of it is just bland similarly to swedish cuisine
>>496859621>in particular with how strider rockets and artillery rockets push you out of cover and expose you to other bots.except what really happens is that it flings you at mach 20 against a rock and kills you, i can accept that bullshit from barrager tanks but not from the chicken walkers
I am an eagle strafing run convert, this shit fucks
>>496859862I agree, it's non sense to keep talking about ragdolling in bots, the only thing truly unfun on bots is the RNG nature of it all, not that you get ragdolled in the first place.Devastators will randomly decided to spray you like a CSGO pro from 50 meters, stationary turrets will randomly spot you from 200 meters away and then also randomly decide to one shot you (you can never really tell if their shot will hit or miss by their warning flash, it's entirely RNG if you jump or not. Only counterplay is getting to cover fast enough), same thing applies to hulk shots and things like that. At the end of it all, it's because you'll die to RNG even if you have perfect play (okay, not literally perfect, but you get the idea). Sometimes things will just shit on you and have you ragdoll in front of devies, or just (that doesn't happen with bugs, as a counter example).>>496860052And see, that's what would happen if we removed the ragdoll from the chicken rockets. Instead of sometimes pushing you out of cover, it would just most likely kill you instead (to leave it more consistent).
>>496850740GGs, full mech lance deployed.
>>496860052>>496860207Adding onto this just before I got to work, I would like if chicken rockets just ended up a tad more predictable. Rocket devastators have to do that whole animation before starting to toss rockets into you, arty tanks aim up and then give you time to see the rockets raining down. Chicken legs will just randomly decide if they should ruin your day or do literally nothing with their rocket and you can't even tell which it's gonna be until it's too late.
