but still, 167 million is a lot
not as much as the entire planet or other countries, but its still plenty
if only i had as much expendeable budget as super earth
if we have this much expendeable budget, why are we diving to kill bugs/automatons with guns and some other shit?
we should go united states mode on them and do a 2 month long bombing campaign around the entire planet
we would eradicate all bugs and automatons
for the US such a loss would be catastrophic
even assuming an equal fighting force in terms of gender
even so, the art of war states that if one were to raise 100,000 men in a war, as many as 700,000 families will reduce their labour output
extrapolating numbers, that assumption will be that 1,169,000,000 families will have a generational lack of labor
keep in mind we dont know the true size of the super earth civilization in terms of numbers
keep in mind however, that assumes a male only fighting force
super earth's army, is probably between 50 - 75% male if i were to ballpark it
so we dont know how big of a war it would be at current day for them
There are female hell divers?
theres female voicelines
in that im referring to sun tzu's numbers
guessing, thats like 10% or 5% of the entire human population
there arent really any 50/50 militaries in terms of gender, so i dont think there is much data on how a society would fare with such an army composition
or maybe less
we did it!!!
and their voicelines are...
ah, fair point
either way i would expect to see a measureable loss in birth rate at the very least
labor too
i also managed to kill a friendly with a resupply beacon
perhaps even a gender imbalance in the society depending on army composition
depending on the % of population in service, such a war could be catastrophic in humanity, potentially causing a several generation reduction in demographics, and a large scale loss of economy. or it could be barely perceptable with the assistance of techlonogy or breeding programs. However, since super earth will have children above 7 fight, regardless of gender. I would assume that the super earth manpower is incredibly low, for the forces they are fighting against
Kind of not the same in game deaths and narrative deaths. Curious where stuff's heading now
Squid Bots
Anyone on and wanna commit war crimes on bugs.....for democracy?

When you realize that now the hive lords will come out and the terminids will become a true hell.
When people think that the bugs are easy, have never been swarmed by hunters on Helldive.
MUTHAFU--... i just got spoiled by a leak that is a news broadcast from the future
SPOILERS:
||this is it gentlemen.. an Automaton Force 10 times larger than the one that attacked Malevelons Creek's Sector has taken over Cyberstan||
any freedom fighters around?
Idk why I laughed too hard at this lmao
Anyone on diving?
fuckin called it
No way we complete this within 3 days. Though i had hoped it would be more fights against bugs. Automatons are less fun to fight.
They are back š®āšØ
I hate rise of skywalker
Everyone does.
Sequels are a scam so everyone loves the prequels
The bots have come back for round 2 this time their main fleet grabs laser scythe let's go turns it on as it starts humming with energy kill us some bots

Armada 10x larger than what we were previously fighting š
it's the covenant all over again
an armada 10x larger than the previous one?
were gonna need 1000x more thousand pounders
Or a carpet bomber
or a mini nuke
We do at the last 10 seconds of extract lol
as standard issue
can we have one that lasts more than 10 seconds?
thats not pelican 1
Would be pretty cool
can we have like, assasin 1?
Have like a orbiting eagle that you can call once and it lasts like 2 minutes
Boarding actions on either side? Some kind of ā¬ļøā”ļøā¬ļøā¬ļøā¬ļø event to use ship weapons?
So many possibilities

Going back in for an important VIP extraction
So important that Super Earth requested /me/ specifically to go back to hellmire and finish the mission despite it being totally cleared
the effect has a bigger blast radius than the bomb itself
Fire the hellpods into enemy ships! Yes! 100% been saying that to my friends since the start
@charred sable
I will be joining you soon brothers....
Is that a primary?
yeah
No
Nerf
Canāt put essentially a railgun tier weapon as a primary that seems a little absurd.
Oh well I guess Iāll be cheesin like the rest of the community with this drop!
Anything to combat the automatons!
Letās go super destroyers get a tier 4 upgrade to all stations now!
Why
time to open up my wallet and warbonds
WiFi is too bad to play let alone download it on my laptop
Plus I havenāt had a day off and donāt see one anytime soon
Oh I thought it was a, āI canāt run itā not a free time thing. Either way when you do find time for democracy, a hell pod is waiting for you.
i dunno
the adjudicator looks ass
the eruptor is alright, but does not bring enough to sacrifice a primary
if it did damage to chargers, id change my mind on that
so 3 500kg?
Cluster strike gonna drop all the sub-munitions
I'm an eagle enjoyer so I bought the upgrade before seeing the rest lol
Iām still waiting for the caustic gas upgrade
Itās my favorite stratagem I never get to use
holy shit I went to bed woke up and we're losing 2 more plants
WE'RE GETTING OUT FLANKED
š±
Almost like they out number us 10:1
I mean, we cant just abandon that front or theyll start pushing in too
Naw we have a string of barrier planets with termicide systems in place. It should stop any terminid spread
The word should being a key reason in that sentence for keeping Divers on Terminid planets. Plus, we cant retake them if we dont squash em
smh, yesterday the bots were cake walk and now the devs think we won't notice that they changed their difficulty today.
thank you joel very cool
The gun is cool. But the slow rate of fire is shit. And it will kill you if u use it cqb
I've completed my enlistment process, I'm ready to manage some democracy!
Anyone playing this, this morning?
@foggy thistle I'm jumpin into the game
Just finishing a round
yeah np
I'm out
I'm in 1-7 lounge
give me a sec my sound is all whacky
These automatons shall taste some of the finest liber-tea they ever had after I blast all their kind into dust.
The four planet in the previous order was liberated?
I don't think so... I saw two planets that were maybe halfway done but there was only 7 hours.
Alright, just curious since it's now 4 days to do those two, should be easy enough
Yeah I think its the last chance we got to stop the advance.
Otherwise Joel is gonna slap us silly.
Probably doesn't quite mean anything more than having to fight on a few more planets that look the same lul
I think i left Klein in a PSTD state after our runs 
I donāt like to read that statement but I feel it so much more. The planets donāt feel entirely unique enough to me either. Would be cool to see more urban colonization on some planets.
HOLD THE LINE
if anyone is diving rn let me know
It must have been rough to shake you
he had the automaton 1st, 2nd and 3rd platoon on his ass on a mission
I'm gonna dive for a few hours.

@foggy thistle I am aboot to send a tersely worded letter to the developers on your behalf.
Your patriotism has been noted Citizen.

Are you guys crossplay? Have the PC player host, make sure everyone has crossplay enabled
Pretty sure it is on by default
I have crossplay on just cause.
Alright I'll be diving in https://discord.com/channels/109869242148491264/1005836111790227538 if anyone wants to teamup.

Mostly bugs just cause I need some new gear for bots.
ILL SHOW YOU DEE WAY
@here any lobbies?

lmfao i struggle on impossible as is. helldive is gonna be even worse
whoops i meant suicide not impossible
Me and my friends (who I included in as voices) have been enjoying this game quite a bit. We conveniently watched Starship Troopers last week, and I was inspired to make this Helldivers propaganda.
Thanks to Coffee, Nael, my brother, and Blujay for the extra voices.
#helldivers2
Anyone on

Im on if u wanna dive

gimmie a bit, just catching up with some old platoon mates
Np
im on right now fella. got room for a mediocre guy?
Send me a fr. I'm getting off for the night tho
Hey sorry, I got chatting and I totally forgot
Lol it's cool bud
Some of the leaked files are looking pretty spicey.
Anyone shooting folks in the face?
I'm just curious, why hasnt there been a proposal to make this a supported game? I know its P2P, but there are a TON of people out there on the Helldivers2 FB pages, and im sure the same goes for reddit, etc, that are looking for people to squad up with.
Theres so much potential with it
In large part because I think there is still SOME uncertainty on its longevity. Is it going to be big in a year or even 3? and how do we support it with only 4 players at a time
Thats a very valid point. However, I do offer this: There is always some level of uncertainty of longevity with games, as you never know when it's going to bottom out. There seems to be a lot of continued support for the game, and seeing consistantly high player count (100k+ or more at any given time) on it after the initial 2 weeks.
Also, Sections would be start at 4 people, and you could have up to 12, and the SL would have them in "fire teams". I definitely have brain stormed how this would work out for us and how to structure it so that it would be successful
There are also way more people that play this game then what is listed in here. I know a few in just my section alone that I don't see in the list. That is not counting the people in my platoon. Honestly I think this game would force other sections to disban with the number of players that have it lol.
obviously we would give people the opportunity to transfer, but we definitely dont want whole sections disbanding to join it.
It's great that everyone wants to see it as a supported game, however it is still very new.
Plus with any start up we would need people to transfer out of their primary to startup. No one ever wants to do that.
It's great we got at least 50 guys playing it but that's not gonna help the start up
this is a tip from the ministry of truth:
The ministry is wise. This is scientifically indisputable.
Is it worth it?
i have had fun so far.
If you hear anyone say different about their service to Super Earth, please let me know so I can refer them to the Ministry of Democracy for re-education.
anybody up to play a few rounds?
im down
I'm down to spread some managed democracy.
we're in Voice Room 1
here is a guide approved by the ministry of truth on the use of bullets
this may be more useful in another dimension, but the concept stays the same

but i find very funny
currently sober but yeah I am up for a mission or 2
Murder Drones?
hell yeah
YOURE OUT OF UNIFORM SOLDIER WHERE IS YOUR POWER ARMOR?
Mainly because I play HOI 4 Enclave Reborn
Also I can picture N being Yelled at by Sgt Donran
lol
i should make that a drawing
I'd pay for that.
For me, bugs are the most fun to fight. Waiting for the next major order to feature them tbh
Who wants to play a while?
I might be able to play here in a little bit.
The Ministry of Truth has found that, lately, this image of a non-democratic species holding Liberty's Iron Fist is, in fact, very real.
Although we value freedom of speech (value can vary), this image is false and should not be taken seriously. They don't exist.
FOR SUPER EARTH! I made a Bluetooth stratagem entry pad for Helldivers 2! š«” 3d printed shell with arduino/esp32 guts. Got a few things I want to clean up and improve, then Iāll have a full video up on my YouTube channel. Couple things to get out...
anyone wanna play?

I'm distributing freedom atm.
Any of you create your own lore yet?
anyone going to be on around 2200z tonight?
I am a Child of the Mother of Wrath, holder of the title Coom Diver. I have many origins and upon servitude I cast my given name into the fires of battle and ascend from my HellPod as Coomius Diverelius, descendent of Coomius Prime. Worldly thoughts are absent in my mind for I am filled with the rage of humanity, and serve as an eternal warrior of liberty. Upon my demise, another shall uphold the mantle proudly as I, for we are Coomius Eternal.
-The oath, Aboard the SES Mother of Wrath, Written by Coomius Prime
Ahh we here on the SES Progenitor of Audacity have no such motto. Beautifully written though. Iāll be sure to tell your wife you could have been a poet had you survived long enough to return to civilian life!
The Successors of our kin will forget your name.
the SES Emperor of Humankind is here to purge the mutant, burn the heretic, and cleanse the unclean. Let nothing stand in the way of democracy. For Super Earth! Democracy protects.
can u tell the Emperor of Humankind to cleanse my kitchen?
After Op helldivers anyone?
im down
Pray to the Emperor with unyielding faith and devotion and he just might allow the prayer to be answered.
A helldiver Arma op would be a fever dream
ok
is there even helldiver mods in arma 3?
feel like its somewhere
Iām sure some one has something simple but there is plenty of assets that can be used as stand ins.
Iām sure no one would have p problems using halo assets or vanilla ones to build a hd2 inspired mission. A little suspension of belief can go a long way.
I love how halo has resupply pods in the second game.
I would guess would be a mix of halo with the drop bods and there are some alien mods in the workshop
Arrowhead games asking if they should have the Terminids and Bots kind of work their way towards each other, for a 2 way fight.
Would be kind of cool.
We cannot allow such things
how the fuck
The power of democracy
Imagine getting flexed on after losing 2 million of your brothers and sisters.
Helldivers were like hold this L and watch me cook.
you've made my head asplode
what is the best way to farm common?
I swear rare samples are more common than common
Do Lvl 9 runs
I only ever can find rare during helldives
Look around bug nests when you clear them out theres usually a lot there
- High difficulty = Greater natural spawns everywhere
- Bug Eradicate missions on the small map offer a few quick in-and-out commons that all spawn in the same place (if they haven't patched this
)
We are going to lose this major order
what order is it?
Apparently we have to successfully defend 10 planets on both fronts.
I saw the order and was like well, fuck that lmao.
Think of this as a another stepping stone to ensure managed democracy throughout the galaxy.
neat
Impressive, I need to get back in and spread some managed democracy then
ive been doin almost exclusively automatons. space vietnam is fun.

im down 2 hours later lol
Anyone on
I hate that at the end I wanted to see if I shot someoneās backpack from the side of it would do damage to them. It needed up killing them and basically extended the hitbox. And they kicked me. Had like 20 of each sample. Didnāt think the dude was that salty but hey, what can I say.
That sucks.
and there goes steam
Anyone playing?
you got a spot open
I can when I launch the game. Lol.
ill see you in voice room 1
Bro I keep telling folks. If youāre going against the bots. The 110mm rocket strike is an absolute must have! Itās an insta kill on all tanks and does massive damage to the walkers!
I shall be diving for a bit if anyone needs another party member.

how the fuck did they convert sweat into a perfume
Starting a new lobby! Who's coming out for democracy on this fine hump day?
no, but I do. But im also not gonna abuse that power š¤£
Yeah I saw all doesnāt work but I thought āhereā could ping only this games players
Sorry that anyone in the specific game could ping the game*
anyone helldiving? going through a breakup and need a distraction
"Love how we have 2 variants of these damn things. We got the ones that shoot bullets, and then the ones who shoot lasers. Like God damn, Frick these things lmao"
https://fxtwitter.com/JosephThe_Squid/status/1783934758143053903
i need someone to recon and find out if theres a new walker variant
what in the fufck
so if the automatons wear meat armor
does that make them humans with metal bones?
BCUZ DEMOCRACY
No that's how it's supposed to work but we disabled @ here and @ everyone because some dickheads (me) were shitposting with it in main channels
as normal, the weeb ruins everything
ayo LETS GO
Big Iron becomes deadlier I like it.
SPC.Riley.D this one is just for you! I know how much you like to "raise the flag".
Unlimited space bazooka was too much of a get out of jail free card
Recoiless has been there for you before. Just coordinate with a assistant gunner
I never stop using it hehe! My old reliable EAT never let me down against Automaton & bugs.
Eruptor/machine gun is a fun lot to run
@neon sierra we can now finally do that Helldiver(9) flag raising
Anyone divin
Didn't we collectively call this as a game? https://twitter.com/helldivers2/status/1785301067678237051?t=LdqZIuxk67QkH0EbUGqy4g&s=19
Yuuuuyp
Super earth just wants us to be able to spread democracy more efficiently it was a test.
we need something bigger than the thousand pounders
Bugs are more fun to fight than bots. Im happy they are the focus again
Itās not about fun itās about democracy š
Iām just waiting for this
Helldivers started platoon when?
If they add clans it might be possible
Donāt tempt me with a good time
We will see, it needs more content still
Would still love to see some larger team missions
Yup, thatās a cool idea too
Lots of things could add so much to this game
I think one of the largest issues is the engine it's on, it supports very little of the possibilites that people want IIRC
? What do you mean. It uses a combination of everyoneās hardware to support AI
So for example whoever has the better PC they support a larger group of AI
Itās pretty genius considering Iāve had almost 0 issues with desync despite thousands of AI on screen
No, i mean it was a discontinued engine they made the game on, so from the technical side it doesn't support or make it very difficult to implement some of the stuff we'd want
its what i have read at least
I mean if itās the same engine but they know how to use it then it would be a non issue
Look at unreal engine and everything people have done with that over the years

OOOOF Sony issued a requirement to pc players to link a Playstation network account when one wasnt required earlier
I see potential crack down on usernames
what if i dont have
You'll have to make one. It was optional up until now cause they were having issues with it
like, I have a PSN account, but IDK man
I do some shady shit on my PC tho, why would they want me to associate it with the pristine and innocent PSN account?
because funy
The reviews are already bombing hard
yiiiiikes
I mean it is a bit stupid that they enforced this after launch rather than implement this at the start.
Otherwise i think people would've overlooked it, but usually threatening your player base to make an account or get banned tends to not go over well.
Imagine thinking we wont just find something to play instead
Is it a make an account or get banned or fail to be compliant and you canāt access game until you do.
I think the announcement said get it done by June 4th.
Right but is it a ban or you lose access until you are compliant itās two very different things.
Prolly just lose access but I'm not certain.
why are people calling it a "bullshit reason" that u have to link your PSN account
Either way Sony dropped the ball on communication with the fanbase ensuring they all knew the facts.
and here i thought that sony being the publisher wasnt gonna be an issue
I guess no one knew it was a requirement including myself down the road. It was overlooked due to ātechnical issuesā at launch. Obviously who knows what the real reason no one knew. But at launch it did say psn account required on the steam page.
I think this is a multifaceted issue with PSN attempting to make a name in the pc market where I think Sony will start with congruent releases instead of remastering games for the pc port. Aswell as having more control on the player base moving forward. I donāt think Sony truly expected Hd2 to turn into an almost cult classic over night.
But this is an exciting time for gaming drama with battle state and Sony both trying some things that are not so great.
My largest conundrum with this problem is the fact that some players will lose access to their game due to region issues with PlayStation network where some players donāt have access to PlayStation network due to the country theyāre in, but they were able to purchase it over. steam makes us a huge issue for mebecause it shows that digital product ownership doesnāt mean much I guess
Really at the heart of this whole issue is true digital ownership not whether or not youāre in compliance with account rules because now the real issue is some players will lose access to the game
There are countries that donāt have access to PSN?
Russia and some others
just straight up isn't available
which means if you live in those countries and bought HD2, you're fucked
The Philippines is one
100% agree with nights
It literally said it would be required when you first launch the game. If people ignored that and didnāt read itā¦
Absolutely gross corporate overstep with no contemplation over the individual
I never saw that, all I saw was the option to link a PSN acc when I first booted the game and clicked skip
thatās like saying, you should actually read the terms of service. And how many of these people are 12 1314 years old who donāt give a shit about that kind of thing
Right but next weāre talking about multiple publishers not being able to ensure that players donāt get ruined on the end Work weāre talking people who have spent $40 for a game and have been playing it for three months and now theyāre going to lose access.
And even so, the game should have never been available to be sold in the regions where PSN isn't available in any case, yet it was
It was an entire page that said link PSN account
nobody reads TOS, publishers / legal teams know this
It wasnāt a TOS it was a page and you said you hit skip
I also agree that in a perfect world this doesnāt matter but what this issue is for me is digital content ownership
It's still probably part of the TOS
I donāt disagree but everyone by now knows they donāt own anything on steam. You license every game
esp if they're now revoking the ability to play the game months after launch if you don't link
Steam can revoke your account at anytime and you lose access to your entire library
This isnāt anything new for any game on steam
Also this is why so many people use VPNs
Okay well if we're going down the road of whataboutisms then I'll just leave it at this:
If this was their plan all along then they A. shouldn't have sold the game in locations where PSN isn't available, and B. should have required account linkages from day 1
Iām sure when they developed the game and authentication there was a different geopolitical situation in Eastern Asia the only other areas from what I can tell that canāt access it are Egypt and central Africa
Also should the developer not let you buy the game when you click buy on steam when it says on the store page PSN will be required. Or is it on steam?
You can blame so many different companies but nobody can effectively predict every countries politics
Also if it is that big an issue to you, request a refund on steam and say it was false advertising
It's just PS being PS and wanting to inflate numbers and their pockets.
Either make one or don't play Helldivers 2, essentially.
Plenty of other games require this when you log in. It's not anything new and as long as it's free, does it really matter? The only reason they want it is to collect data on the player base so that they can sell that data
Is it annoying yes, is it inevitable yes.
Sell data, inflate numbers, track and ban players. They claim it's for security, it's not.
yeah its literally just data collection. Just like your steam account, just like your discord account, just like your epic account, and the billion other accounts we probably have and dont even remember. Its just an unfortunate inevitability with anything remotely online nowadays
just one more account bro, i promise bro just one more account and you will be able to play our game bro, please just one more, one more account its so easy to sign up for bro, cmon bro just give me another account and we wont ask for another i promise bro, bro bro please we just need one more account t
Every game ever
and i usually avoid games that do that for 2 main reasons:
- i cannot keep track of all these damn passwords im expected to keep unique, and the management of these accounts is also a pain in the ass
- with every account you create, you open yourself to a greater chance of a data breach. and if one is breached, i gotta change everything
and thats why its a dealbreaker for me
Thats why you make a game email and a personal email
All my games use same email
And itās not linked to personal email at all
I just have a bum email for stuff i don't care about.
Yup
I've got one for school, one for work, and my personal.
Plus all my stuff has 2 factor authentication and my game passwords are saved in keychain
I honestly need to move my passwords somewhere safer or at least split them up over importance.
I'm just too lazy lmao
if you store em on a PC, probaby should just encrypt the files
I don't know how to do that tbh.
All mine are stored in iPhone keychain
7zip has an encrypt function
People playing helldivers 2 how are we feeling about this news https://www.ign.com/articles/sony-is-forcing-all-helldivers-2-steam-players-to-connect-to-a-playstation-network-account-and-its-going-down-about-as-well-as-youd-expect
āļø read above
Apparently I am late to the party I just saw this news.
All good we all have differing opinions
It feels similar to Minecraft and having a Microsoft account.
Doesnāt change the game is good just proving Sony is still a corpo
Just disappointed in the ācommunityā
I agree review bombing the game when itās not the dev itās Sony
Iām sure bombing the game will make Sony rethink this decision and help make a better Helldivers 2 /s
Iām all for people spamming PSN forums or whatever but like arrowhead is just a small company and probably had to agree to this to even get the funding from Sony
got through like 2 sentences of that paragraph before it got yeeted
I was using voice to text and realized a bunch of it was all fucked up. Going to re-tape it later.
re type** Jesus christ
lol I could kind of tell
thought I was having a stroke or something
The best voice to text I ever had was when my truck windows were open, and I caught the couple in the car next to me arguing
Fk this noise for real
I already have a PSN but making it mandatory for everyone is just stupid and clearly a scheme to boost their PSN numbers š¤·āāļø
if they are pushing an update like that, then that means xbox players will never join the fight
fucking hell
Respectfully, Who? Cares? Talk about making something out of nothing and causing the downfall of a good game because you draw the line at a free PSN account that A) We were informed about at the very beginning B) Most people already have C) Is free
If people drop the game because of this, thats fine!!!! Review bombing hurts the game's entire future and those who don't care.
Edit: I am not saying I like Sony. I am not saying this was a great way to break this news. I am not saying I don't want others to play the game because they live in a specific country. What I AM saying is people need to draw the line at who's decision this was (Sony and not AH), eat the gamer kryptonite of one more account, and not seal the fate of an incredible game because an influencer told you to and you didn't read the fine print. "This game is coming down with me!" type sh
but I want to cry and shake my fists!!!!
I will continue to support a really fun game that has a great team behind it, great potential, and a fantastic monetization system. It does so many things right and this is what happens
Phillips!
As I said,, I'm disappointed
Are we winning the galactic war!
Yes but the Bots are still a menace and must be stopped!!! Do not worry about the bug containment being breached,, it is simply an error
heard!
Has anyone had the issue with the update not going through and get an error on steam saying content file locked? Any fixes?
Apparently the issue is that the game is sold in almost 190 countries. But PSN is only available in 69 countries.
NICE
IMO This is the one issue I hope they address and is the most reasonable of the vitriol being spit in most community areas. The PSN "requirement" was always visible but allowing people to purchase the game in these countries to then not allow a refund is bonkers. I suspect some kind of intervention for this in particular.
Yeah people are being toxic it is sad
Lmao, kinda funny tho About to Puke Reaction hit 40k and they deleted it on the PSN announcement 
Thatās a lot of reactions in one discord
Just checked the steam reviews today, curious how bad its been going. They went from very positive ratings to mostly negative within 48 hours thats nuts.
There are some players in the Philippines and one dude said that he can't make a PSN account, because of that. They are going to lose players, by force.
Yeah the region issue is one of the main points to why many are angry. The other is that some feel Sony is just trying to inflate their numbers on their platforms even though HD2 is mostly a PC playerbase.
Another weird thing to note is on Sony's FAQ about PC games, it does say do you need a PSN account to play Playstation studio games, and it said you didn't need one. Granted this game did say day 1 that you'll require an account.
Death to oligarchs
Killing them automatons
I feel bad for Arrowhead, its not their fault the publisher did this.
Yeah, luckily I really havent seen much hate directed at them. definitely gonna ward off other small companies from letting Sony publish I bet
Initially there was but it seems to be more directed at Sony now
Generally games know where to direct their rage. Lol.
https://twitter.com/sneedy123/status/1786911574428418332
holy fuck its real
Anyone on?
Bro that is just perfect
The game is now overwhelmingly negative and they're pulling the sale of the game on steam in multiple countries...
Probably going to issue my refund later today.
Seems like Sony just screwed it all up
Personally I donāt care if I have to make an account for PSN. Itās like other games, but Iād rather stand in solidarity with the folks who canāt
Are the people who can't from countries with barely any Internet access anyhow?
The game was sold all over the world but I believe only 96 are able to made a PSN account. So I would guess like what 30%-35% of the playbase will have a unplayable game
Hm
LETS
FUCKING
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Helldivers fans -- weāve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.
Weāre stillā¦
account linking canceled
big dub
WE WON!!
planet playstation successfully liberated
if you wrote a bad review, dont forget to fix it
YOU BEAT ME TO IT FUCK
i got the ping from the discord
NONETHELESS WE HAVE WON
Can't stop the people sony!
In the great words of Dr Ian Malcolm: You did it, the son of a bitch really did it.
Does anyone know the 4 billion grenade trick?
Sony reverting back was a bit logical
one of their most successful launches
and they'd lose a shit ton of money on PC because of a stupid decision
I hope people change their reviews back now that the community came out on top.
Curious on how many of those Neg reviews are botted
already done. The reviews already started to recover. From 15% (Ovehrelmingly negative) yesterday to 30% (Mostly negative) as of now. Checked it when I woke up, 3 hours ago it was at 21%
so I think the chances are good we get it back in the blue area reasonably soon
Iām glad an entire community can overthrow a corrupt corporation like that
Hopefully people actually change their reviews back to positive or at least neutral
let's gooo!
I know Iāll be changing mine
Again it isnāt on Arrowhead for this itās purely on Sony, even Arrowhead in their discord were asking people to do this to allow them some ammunition to tell Sony itās a bad idea
Now could this have been handled differently? Sure but hindsight is 20/20
Yeah, I also hope the people who requested refunds repurchase cus that also fucks arrowhead
Right, I do believe this is going to hurt the community for a bit but Iām sure itāll recover over time
Weāll see I guess
Iām just glad Sony backed off
Corpo gonna corpo
Good for the like 4 players living in Pakistan and Somalia that can now continue to play the game. For the rest of us it takes like two minutes to create a PSN account, and most had one before. Most dumb outrage i've seen. The storepage for a long time before this even said a PSN account was needed, it was just not working before now. Good for those that don't want to spend two minutes making a PSN account though
thats a wild take since its only available in 60ish countries
bad take
You've seen that list? Lul
It's not exactly Italy and denmark that's on that list
This feels like a really uneducated and out of touch response. It affected 10s of thousands of player who donāt have PSN access in their countries. ā4 Players in pakistan and Somaliaā is so off base I donāt even know how to answer that.
There are 121 countries INCLUDING EU and Central/SA countries that cannot access it
lol
bro there's literally places like fucking Monaco on the list that wouldn't be able to play
So where's the outrage on all the games they previously couldn't play?
you're gonna sit here and imply you didnt?
Well other games didnt have such a trivial thing happen out of nowhere
The point i'm making is that majority of those countries aren't the countries that the main playerbase is from with the same playerbase raging...
and unlikely to barely be playing it at all
So what? Ruin their fun?
so if you're gonna be mad about said countries not being able to play you should be mad for all others games they can't play either
No, because they HAD access to the game this whole time. THEN it was ripped away from them
If they didnt have access to it in the first place then yeah, fine, tough shit
so it is really just collective outrage to rage just to rage when the majority that got mad about this all can make PSN accounts and likely have ones.
But they DID have access. They paid for the game, played it with friends, made some friends, then got told to get fucked by corporate greed
i had a ps account, i didnt play
alright that's enough from everyone
everyone has points here that are valid, but there's obviously not going to be a middle ground and we're not utilising a public forum to air grievances at other members
this is getting censored to prevent non-members from seeing this, i don't care about the disagreement but the discussion needs to be without the personal side
Thank you for your valuable input Automaton spy.
Itās also the countries like Ukraine where they would be forced to buy a PS4 or PS5 just to make a PSN account to get the ability to play the game.
195 countries with 60+ with it being illegal or not possible to make an PSN.
@left ruin - I'm just going to assume you missed this post from Maj Stetchkov before you responded to earlier posts.
It probably didnāt load, as I was in the factory with shit signal. Lol
All good my friend
Glorious.
AH should definitely add that
That's lit
Gotta laugh at mistakes
Naw, that shit was intentional. Aināt no way.
No no, the mistake was letting sony publish š
Conversation is over
Ok. It was weird but ight.
Things were getting a bit personal and heated. Major Stetchkov asked us to try and move on
Itās done.
Ah. Didn't see that message. My bad.
All good š Lot of messages lol
Back to purging bugs and bots for democracy
So in other news, 16 billion grenade on the battlefield is wild huh?
16000000001
16000000002
Yeah, managed democracy has brought balance back to the universe.
You arenāt wrongā¦
the problem was trusting sony in the first place
on par with activation or bungie
she is coming back, overall reviews are already back to mostly positive
TO THE MOON, DIVERS!
Lol when the devs ask you to review bomb their game
i like that the community manager itself said to tell our opinion in a platform that mattered
in the end, sony pulled back the change
and they will make sure to make another mistake like that in the future
probably, hopefully not
jeez im horrible with words
Arrowhead devs are fuckin goated lmao
You're kidding. This is awesome, but is it legit?
To my knowledge it isnt real......yet
He got fired
now?
Was reported a couple days ago, they fired the community manager that recommended review bombing
Link to the article with an update for confirmation he was let go
āEvery war has its casualtiesā when asked if the split was mutual he said āit was notā
Review bomb it again until Spitz is back with a raise
Fuck Arrowhead
Yeah but Spitz is an asshole though, if you've been paying attention to the general messages he's been sending. Plus if you're working for the company you can't just tell people to reviewbomb your own fucking game lmfao
He took a risk and whilst it paid off for the rest of us, he's taken the fall for it
Iād love too see them
im not going to go rooting around for them because i cba, you can google/yt and find them but here's a few screencaps from a vid i was watching not too long ago, there are a few more from a little while back and I knew it was him being an asshole towards a member of the community but I can't specifically remember what was said
if you were to dredge around the reddit a bit, it seems that spitz also had a massive temper tantrum and deleted the helldivers 1 discord during the "f" spam drama. Granted this is reddit speaking, so it may not be too reliable
so i have no sympathy for him. and alot of the helldivers community will consider him a martyr besides, even though that message he sent about reviewbombing seems passive aggressive at best
Games still fun as fuck, that's all I care about lol
The guys also got fired. RIP.
oh duh I just caught up to chat lol
hes had multiple tantrums since the game released (like how he blew up on everyone when he closed down the Helldivers 1 discord to merge them into one), but they always got walked back or he apologized. I'm not particularly surprised he got canned and the review bombing brigade thing he asked for was probably just a mild reason for them to use to let him go tbh
Guy banned me from the discord day 1 because i put -1 in the chat.
Game will probably stay mixed despite efforts to "correct" it,, 120k more Negative reviews than Positive
Goes to show, its easier to hate than to love 
It will come back, eventually.
anyone diving>
Iād rather take a CM who cops shit at a minority of people for being a toxic trolls and idiots and one who talks with the people actually admits to relating with the community
Then someone who spews general PR cookie-cutter lines and shits on anyone who disagrees with changes nobody asks for. Because most CMs Iāve ever seen are just Cookie cutter copy pastas and never actually real with you
Just saying I would rather have some real and not PR bullshit, but thatās me. I can understand from a corporate side why not tho
Saying to leave a bad review and shit was bold but tbh heās not wrong and it helps redirect the narrative away from those who were attacking them personally. That discord is an absolute war zone of blood thirsty children
Oh 100% I'd rather have someone real rather than a corpo shill for sure
Which is why I said review bomb them again till Spitz is back
God I need to stop setting eyes on the HD discord such a cesspool lmfao
@muted epoch Welcome to the Cav. This is the Helldivers 2 Channel mentioned. š
o/
Anyone wants play some Helldivers?
\o
Shoot mods. Thatās dope. Hopefully they donāt ban users who have them
Looks great
Anyone diving?
anyb00ty for some dives?
oh shit
damn that might make me come back to the game
fucking bruh...
š
grrrr not making content for free grrrr
meh, i just see it as needlessly greedy
its a mod, a work of passion, its more abnormal to make it paid
sure you dont have to make it free, and i dont have to download and play it
Bruh
Historically mods have been free because as soon as money is involved in derivative works of an IP you don't own, solicitors get involved and shit gets shut down very quickly
This has turned into a culture of mods being free and widely available to the community, and thus result in huge backlash when anything to the contrary is done
See mods in skyrim for example
Sure, paywall a mod, but it's going to piss me off esp if the whole fucking video is basically an advert for it and omg look how good it is, yeah now pay me or no access
feels shitty.
The comment section of that video seemingly agrees with my point of view
the "MOUSE" wont like not getting his fair share
just like the "PLUMBER" came knocking for Yuzu
hey whos playing
I just heard about the drama surrounding this game. Have any of you been affected by this?
I have the game but I haven't played it much.
Nope, last played it well over a month ago
Not issues for UK but I have not played since the 21st. Game is starting to show true numbers now the hype has come down. Granted a large amount if people effected, boycott or refunded game completely
I dont think majority that did so were affected in other ways than not bothering to make an account. Anyway im happy enough with the hours i got out of it. Ill wait for a bit more content
Yeah all the game really is is doing the same thing again and again. Aside from the wow shooting bugs and bots and banter there isnt much else to the game in ways of content
looks like they increased the difficulty of helldive
because you have a single life now
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE!!!!
IF YOU HOLD R ON THE REVOLVER
YOU DO SPIN TRICKS :0
Yeah the last time I played HD2 was the 25th of april
All the weird ass nerfs have just sorta killed the vibe for me
seems like the CEO is stepping in though
Yeah, the CEO kind of wants them to stop nerfing everything.
Which I get, killing a Bile Titan with a limp noodle, isn't that fun. When there are nuclear options.
wait we have nuclear options?
WHY IS IT NOT STANDARIZED?
Well, we were suppose to get a mini nuke stratagem, until we went to war with Sony.
idk why the fuck theres a duck on our side
but theres a duck on our side

For those that havenāt heard. The CEO is moving to chief creative officer so he can focus on development and balancing etc. He chose the new CEO but I donāt trust that guys track record. Letās hope they donāt kill the game with crazy micro transaction pay to win.
Heās the ex chief dev officer for Paradox games. š„ø
Iāve still been playing but rarely. Only cause all my other friends stopped and I got distracted playing DCS and other stuff.
Been trying to play more recently.
here come the DLCs
I last played it April 13, it's been a while for sure.
I last played feb 28 lol
Apparently he's 'old' paradox before they fucked it up
i'd bust
Extreme violence.
how is it against AT-ATs?
It's mid against bugs that have some armor. Like the Bile and Charger.
I need to get back into this game, feels like I've neglected it after the sony fiasco.
so its like half as good as the last one, because the missiles were the only thing that gave any penetration
Now, granted it utterly shits on adds.
so....again 50% less than that gatling gun
give me a true mecha god damnit

i do want to spend time back on my super destroyer
Can I say Iām honestly surprised people didnāt chose the mines.
The ratio was pretty high last night for people in the save the kids mission.
At this point its a meme. We dont want the mines.
Honestly made my eyes water. If they did more events like that im sure the community would do the right thing.
its been like, 3 fucking major orders trying to get some damn mines
can the fucking liberty lady get enough materials to finally fucking build the fucking mines already?

When you beat the game on Legendary difficulty you get this little extra cutscene for a reward. Bungie has stated that this is just an easter egg.
In the novels Sergeant Johnson escapes the Installation 04 in a Pelican with a bunch of marines with him.

Coming August 6th 2024. Escalation of Freedom is the first major update for HELLDIVERS 2. Get ready to take on the new "Super-Helldive" CR10 difficulty, deadly new enemies, new mission types and much more.
The Galactic War rages on and Super Earth needs you to take arms and dive back into ...
hahahahah your within range of ROCKET ARTY
because its necessary
theres a new orbital cannon base
probably acts like anti air.. it disables orbital strategems
Breaking: Orbital Cannons now stand across Automaton territories, firing on our fleet and seeking to challenge our aerial superiority.
The Orbital Cannons have targeted SEAF air forces, extending extraction times. However, we have identified a vulnerability.
oh wait its worse
extends extraction time significantly
