[severe mural]

hello, i signed up for the beta at 17.04.26 and i didt get the email for the playtest, is there anyway to get it so i can join?

i got at 19.05.26 a discord notification from hell let loose that the playtest is this week

[jade kayak]

So the closed beta passed. Open beta next week.

The current beta is for WW2 version and its on the experimental branch

[severe mural]

ah ok thought it was this week, MB

[jade kayak]

All good 🙂

[lavish spindle]

IS the free beta this weekend or the Next? And i Heard that on one weekend they are gonna give It for free?? (Vietnam i mean)

[vagrant rock]

Next weekend and they won't give it for free.

[lavish spindle]

#sit-reps

[proper parrot]

i just bought hhlv and i applied for the beta how long do i got to wait to be accepted for the beta?

[jade kayak]

Closed Beta is passed. Open Beta is next weekend.

[celest spire]

wait we dont have to reapply through first look do we?

if you already took part in closed beta?

[noble tinsel]

so its end of the week an no news like they said i guess console falls through the cracks yet again?

[thorn terrace]

I’ve seen this happen before, I’m not optimistic

[keen temple]

Well we still technically have 2 days of the full week

[thorn terrace]

True, but this doesn’t seem like a weekend thing
Ben’s bio does say Mon-Fri

[keen temple]

Yeah, idk what his timezone is so maybe in the coming time, but hopefully they actually do say something even if its not good news

[thorn terrace]

I’m sorry for harping on this point, but he’s British/European, so it’s Saturday morning for him
And I don’t mean to be a total pessimist, I’m just tired of this sort of thing happening

[keen temple]

Ah, well, best we can do is hope for something next week, unfortunately

[thorn terrace]

Ben! Give me console beta AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-ares-destroy-my-enemies-and-my-life-is-yours-gif-7965707800203237625

[noble tinsel]

yeah i dont see them working or saying anything on a weekend an tecnically saturday is the last day sundays is a new week but anything to do with this sorta stuff is a monday to friday thing like banker hours

[elder thunder]

Hey guys my account got hijacked. And I got banned on a few servers. Is there a way for me to see what kind of messages I sent

[tall beacon]

Go to search bar on Discord, type in from, click "from" and then your username.
@elder thunder

Looks like your account remains reputable in this channel, comrade @elder thunder

[elder thunder]

I got banned on good servers

Really good

I now see what messages I sent

I don’t know if I can upload it here. It’s a screenshot

[tall beacon]

Protect your image bro, this is the Vietnam channel

[elder thunder]

It’s nothing serious. It’s like a screenshot shot of someone named Kai cenat twitter and somekind of a code for money

I cant access soul sniper server and a few more I dont know the names

[charred smelt]

so are they gonna add the bandoliers to US mg gunners and the helmets with the writes on themswlves?

[tall beacon]

@charred smelt we might see next weekend with the beta

[charred smelt]

perfect

[charred smelt]

wait I'm new how can I play the beta on ps5

[modern acorn]

#sit-reps message

[charred smelt]

thanks

[jade kayak]

@pale tartan Open beta is next weekend, Steam only

[spring summit]

There is no beta and no announcement so far even though it was supposed to be by the end of the week…. It’s kinda funny that they linked you to the announcement that there would be an announcement

[charred smelt]

in fact I'm a bit confused

[spring summit]

So originally consoles were supposed to be apart of the open beta and they quietly removed consoles and refused to elaborate as to why, and understandably the console base was mad and kept asking the CM what was going on and instead of saying why consoles got removed they made an announcement that there would be an announcement about it by the end of this week but they don’t work weekends so the week is over with zero updates

[charred smelt]

oh very very thanks for your explanation. At the end I'm accustomed to this situation bc also enlisted devs do these things (I dk how but I'm still playing that game)

[jade kayak]

Someone previously mentioned a theory about PlayStation not allowing something? I don't remember the exacts

[spring summit]

Yeah but that’s a theory and something that would only affect PlayStation and not Xbox as well. There’s also some other theories but those aren’t important. It’s the radio silence on the situation that is.

[spring summit]

Tbh all the theories are why a bunch of people are upset and with zero communication it doesn’t help. I know you guys are doing everything you can but the community is gonna start spiraling again soon if Ben or someone doesn’t explain what’s going on soon.

[viral skiff]

They don't do pts servers or EA titles at all.

Hence why server browsers was tested on xbox

[jade kayak]

Which if you go off that... I'm sure they'd want BOTH consoles to have access to it, not just one. So may be WHY they aren't? 🤷‍♀️ THEORY. Not confirmed.

[viral skiff]

Sony won't do ea or pts at all. Why you don't see ea titles on Sony? They don't have pts servers either.

[jade kayak]

I don't know anything on console 🤷‍♀️

My last dealing with Sony was a Playstation 2 and I didn't use online so

[viral skiff]

Ironic cuz Sony pushes the most exclusivity bs too lol

[primal junco]

Where's the "end of the week update" on a beta for console players? Waiting till 11:59 on Sunday to announce it then?

[viral skiff]

Probably not getting a beta. Be happy your getting a port at launch

If this was BM we'd be waiting 2 yrs for a port

[burnt zenith]

Us console players aren’t gonna get a beta apparently. Gonna have to wait for reviews and see what everyone says and base our purchase off that.

[primal junco]

How is it a port when it's built on unreal engine 5 that has several games on console and is coming out at launch?

[primal junco]

That's not what they said in the most recent announcement they said they'll have more to share at the end of the week which is anytime now

[tall beacon]

Wish everyone was as down to earth as this comment

[spring summit]

Ahh yes the grand ole announcement that they would make an announcement by the end of the week ( Friday is the end of the week for them btw so they jipped us of that too lmao)

[primal junco]

Yeah something fishy is definitely going on with the console version of the game. I can 99% guarantee it's going to release and run like absolute buns because they're being so weird about showing it or letting people play it. But aslong as they get that preorder or purchase bag it doesn't matter right f the console fan base.

[spring summit]

If it does just reach out to customer support and request a refund that way (on PlayStation it’s really the only way)

[velvet sundial]

They said end of the week so I guess we wait for the news tomorrow

[thorn terrace]

Ben’s bio says he works Mon-Fri and he’s hours ahead (of me, anyways)
It ain’t happening

[velvet sundial]

Rip xD Guess we wait till Monday then, seems abit weird that they wont communicate much about it

[thorn terrace]

If we don’t get anything by Monday I’ll sacrifice myself to ping Ben

[young crystal]

eh, people do that a few dozen times per day

[velvet sundial]

I assume its probably to do with xbox/playstation allowing the playtest probably

[young crystal]

not much of a sacrifice to make there

probably

with steam, its easy to do these betas and such

[velvet sundial]

Long as it doesnt brick my playstation its fine xD

[young crystal]

true true

[vagrant rock]

Common Steam superiority moment

[velvet sundial]

Always easier on pc mhmm

[vagrant rock]

Not necessarily

It isn't PC

Steam is just superior

[young crystal]

cause all yo need to do something like that "exists" already

[vagrant rock]

it's literally this

[young crystal]

oh no, gore

run elise, run!

[velvet sundial]

So they're still gonna be updating HLL once vietnam comes out too?

[vagrant rock]

oooo, stick figures with red blobs in MS Paint quality, oooo

[young crystal]

[vagrant rock]

Utterly ridiculous if this gets censored for displaying gore

[young crystal]

ye

U20 around the corner as well, with Juno Beach

[vagrant rock]

Especially considering it's a literal meme and the fact that this game shows explicit gore and dismemberment

[velvet sundial]

Isnt the dev team kinda small

[vagrant rock]

They will

[young crystal]

we dont know their individual height

[velvet sundial]

xD

[young crystal]

[vagrant rock]

Although opinions differ on how long support will last

[velvet sundial]

Yeah

[young crystal]

i only remember that the shareholder page thingy was a 15 years

buuuuut, that was pre HLLV times

so might just be the HLL-IP

[velvet sundial]

Hopefully the flamethrower is better on vietnam xD

[young crystal]

couldnt try it, was too high level

[vagrant rock]

I'm genuinely excited to see the result of the open playtest next weekend

[velvet sundial]

if its just a copy paste flamethrower from hll im gonna be sad

[young crystal]

you gonna join as well Elise?

[vagrant rock]

Curious to see how much progress they actually made

Nah

[young crystal]

boo

[velvet sundial]

ill be watching on twitch for sure

[young crystal]

I'll convert my regular friday/saturday/sunday streams to HLLV probably

[vagrant rock]

I'm still not sure whether I'll be getting this game at all, so why would I want to be a playtester lol

[young crystal]

cause you could test if you want to carry on playing it

[velvet sundial]

I preordered tbh xD day 1 lets see if it breaks consoles

[vagrant rock]

In a potential rough state that could ruin my first impression?

Nah

I'll wait at least a few weeks, probably a few months, until I get it

IF I get it

[young crystal]

shits coming out in under a month, doubt theres gonna be 500GB of extra content

[vagrant rock]

There is a saying, never play on patch day ;)

[vagrant rock]

It's not about content

But about day 1 bugs and stability issues being a thing

[velvet sundial]

They can just buy me a new console its fine xD

[young crystal]

no bugs

all runs fine

and makes your hair long and wavey

and you get a sixpack

[velvet sundial]

Ive had my ps5 since launch day, idk how peoples consoles overheat and stuff. Clearly people don't clean out the fans

[vagrant rock]

That's why I'm saying I'm curious for next weekend's playtest

If it runs well then, there's a good chance it will run mostly fine on release day

If it doesn't, well, shite

[young crystal]

time for S44 to make a move

and surprise everyone

sudden 1000+ average players

[vagrant rock]

Hard to do without official development :(

[young crystal]

HLL does a counter move and adds italians

and then its a cold war of making each game bigger and better

[vagrant rock]

That would be super fu cking funny lmao

[young crystal]

ssssh Elise

let me dream

[vagrant rock]

The good ending

[young crystal]

and then they both high-five

and kiss

wait what

[winged scroll]

i think altberg is drunk

[young crystal]

^^

Squad Let Loose in 44

And then 🍑 🍆

[jade kayak]

Open Beta for vietnam next weekend

[tall beacon]

couldnt try it, was too high level

[young crystal]

?

[tall beacon]

😏

[maiden lichen]

It wasnt funny, so you dont need to understand it

[wind herald]

guys i think i have 2 kills in hll after 30 hours of playtime

[muted forum]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/335051631810838538/1166099167186272286/b9e8a376f7.gif

[wind herald]

can i ask you something

[muted forum]

sure i have 2 minutes

[wind herald]

uhh

im new to hll so i dont know much

i see sometimes planes in the sky, is it possible to fly them or they are just npc

[maiden lichen]

Planes are commander call ins

[wind herald]

so you just call them to bomb a place?

[desert rivet]

The comander calls them

To drop bombs supplies or do a recon which basically pings the enemies on the map

[wind herald]

ohh

[wind herald]

and only commander can drive the tanks and vehicles?

[desert rivet]

No

That is for the artillery and tank roles

I recommend you watching yt video, far easier and faster than asking here

[wind herald]

okay thanks

[frosty elk]

When the date of the play test again its 29th?

[sacred swallow]

Yep , Open Beta 29.05.26 on Steam !

[abstract parrot]

@plain lake what was the more news on console that was supposed to be at the end of last week

[tall beacon]

My prediction is that certification wasn't successful on time and therefore no beta window.

[modern acorn]

also none of the team17 team is even online. so not a good sign ig

[tall beacon]

Today is a bank holiday in the UK
@modern acorn

[modern acorn]

oh really lol well never mind i guess maybe tomorrow 🤣

[tall beacon]

Interesting statement coming from a German 😗

[sacred swallow]

U need to understand , before a German make a Joke he need to get the TüV📝 for that !

[earnest maple]

Hello

[sharp delta]

Maybe a dumb question but what is server seeding?

[jade kayak]

Get the server up to a certain number of players while only playing midpoint usually

Once it gets to 25/25 or 30/30 usually, then you can in play normal

Many have seeding rules: no capture past midpoint, no tanks, etc.

[ruby patrol]

And often servers reward you with VIP days as a thanks for participating in seeding.

Just keep in mind your electricity bill is always higher than any meme reward like that

[fallow flax]

No server hosts provided yet for HLL V yet hey? Hope they've swapped off their old crappy providers.

[chrome peak]

None of my friends play anymore but I need a recon partner

[cedar adder]

So PAVN side has tanks?

They have the PT-76s or T-55s?

[trim nimbus]

Honestly, I think the PT-76 is what they should have gone with, considering that’s what was present during the only two times the NVA used tanks against US troops (Lang Vei in 1968 and Ben Het in 1969).

[cedar adder]

Makes sense

Still what about Fire support elements?

I know Americans will likely have 102s

And F-4 or Skyraider air strikes

What do the PAVN side have?

Dang I wish had the opportunity to play the testing

[trim nimbus]

Same. Unfortunately, it doesn’t lol like us console players are gonna get the chance to play the beta. Hopefully we’ll get some good news, though.

[earnest maple]

When’s the open beta for the new one

[balmy osprey]

missing zombie mode in HLL 1 hope Vietcong zombies come in hell let loose 2

[keen temple]

Hopefully they meant the end of this week💔

[fathom cradle]

Who’s ready for Vietnam I just pre ordered let’s go!

[tribal stream]

I’m gonna preorder it, what’s the ANZAC thing give me for the deluxe edition

Nevermind just looked it up

Uniforms for the us

Be sick if there was actual aussie guns

[fervent grotto]

I cannot wait

[charred smelt]

are they gonna change the soldiers' faces??? the American ones in hll ww2 are kinda ugly

[earnest maple]

Good morning

[plain lake]

All I know at this stage is that the open beta this week will just be Steam still. I'm chasing everyone today for updates on the console planning and will share as soon as I have it 🫡

[sinful pilot]

do we have to signup for the open beta? or will it be on the same playtest as the closed one?

[modern acorn]

No you gotta sign up

[autumn thorn]

@plain lake good morning ive sent you a private message if you have an opportunity to view it 🙌 if not id be more than happy to write it here

[eager sparrow]

I could make a joke now but I wont

[sinful pilot]

i signed up and was accepted for the clsoed beta so im good for the open beta right?

[modern acorn]

if the NDA is approved then you should be good to go!👍

[desert rivet]

Open doesn't need acceptation because it's open 👐

[autumn timber]

When is the open beta

[tall beacon]

@autumn timber
#sit-reps message

[autumn timber]

Aww beta not on console

[tall beacon]

Hey we're still hoping

[quasi sigil]

Yeah I’m excited I have it pre ordered too.

[trim nimbus]

I’m not sure about pre-ordering just yet. If we’re lucky enough to actually get a beta for console, I’ll wait until I get a chance to take the game for a spin myself before I make my decision. Otherwise, I’ll go off of what people say about the beta this weekend.

[stable citrus]

Console is not getting a beta. They silently scrapped it becuase the game is running so bad.

[vagrant rock]

You don't know the latter

[vagrant rock]

Don't pre-order.

[frozen junco]

I heard there was a beta planned for console on a graphic. Anyone confirm? Prolly a troll but eh

[stable citrus]

I played the closed beta its pretty obvious. They changed it after the closed beta

this weekend is now only pc. It was supposed to be consoles too

[tall beacon]

Post on April 23 hellletloose.com

Our first Open Beta is planned for May, and [...]
We’re aiming for this test to be available on both PC and console

[frozen junco]

Oh lawd

[trim nimbus]

Usually I don’t. I was just going to consider it if we got a console beta (which we probably won’t) and if said beta ran well on my console.

But yeah, probably not pre-ordering.

[vagrant rock]

Yeah, it may be likely, but we don't know. Could also be due to issues with Sony/Microsoft greenlighting it

[stable citrus]

that's old. When the release date was announced after the closed beta the console beta was dropped

[tall beacon]

Their aim didn't succeed

[stable citrus]

looks like it still did because people are still pr-ordering

[trim nimbus]

I figured the problem was trouble getting the green light for consoles. As a Playstation user, I know firsthand that Sony is… “particular” about that kind of thing.

[stable citrus]

the problem is the game VERY is in rough shape. I can only imagine what it'd run like on a console at the moment

[frozen junco]

Ill never forgive Sony for killing star wars galaxies. Never.

[stable citrus]

if they let people beta it on console im sure the pre-ders would dry up

[frozen junco]

Just dont understand the business acumen if console doesnt get any play for beta. Hopefully its cut into weeks, one week for PC another console etc

[fathom cradle]

😂 so true man

[stable citrus]

Because they dont have too. It's the #3 pre-drderd game in the ps store right now.. The'yre just going to drop it as is and we'll all just have to play a buggy game.

[fathom cradle]

I heard STEAM players got access to play early man I’m on console why they got us waiting until June 18th

[frozen junco]

Something something HLL was a PC project initially so PC get priority etc.

[fathom cradle]

Oh I see, PC is lame man

[vagrant rock]

Nah, PC is best

[near otter]

Steam is just an easy platform to do playtests on as there's easy infrastructure to do playtests

[fathom cradle]

Controller over a keyboard in my opinion but to each is own

[near otter]

Playtests weren't available on PC Xbox and Epic Games either

[frozen junco]

Those closed beta NDAs are screaming

[fathom cradle]

Flying choppers now is lit 🔥

[frozen junco]

If for nothing else, the crashes are going to be funny, especially if you have six dudes riding along

Then you're going to have the arma flyers who make tiktoks try to do stunts and end up rubberbanding into a canopy line

Laughs incoming for sure

[stuck wasp]

The helis are lame here, you can fly 15m over ground and thats it.

[stable citrus]

Handled like a blimp and they get shot down if someone just coughs in their direction.

[static fjord]

Hi everybody!

[earnest maple]

Good afternoon

[static fjord]

I hope you're doing well! I did not know this new game was dropping, I'm so excited! Have any of you tried the beta yet?

[earnest maple]

Supposed to be this weekend

[static fjord]

Oh, the open one

I thought closed has also been opened for a while

[jade kayak]

Closed was for 1 weekend.

[stuck wasp]

Last beta was horrible, complete unfinished game (alpha).

[static fjord]

Oh wow, was it that bad?

I hope this weekend's beta is better.

[stuck wasp]

We can only hope

[static fjord]

I'm guessing you refer to last month's beta right?

[stable citrus]

Yes the closed beta a few weeks ago was very rough.

[abstract parrot]

i appreciate your response and openness, but it seems like a really bad sign if you were told more updates were coming last week and now you’re chasing the team for said updates. console players are in shambles lol

[strange harness]

do we have any pictures of what the pre-order skins look like or am i just missing it?

[earnest maple]

Will their be twich drops during the open beta?

[sacred swallow]

@plain lake how many pre-orders do we have ?

[wind nymph]

Is the open beta this weekend?

[jade kayak]

yup

[young crystal]

You gonna play?

[jade kayak]

I plan on it.

[young crystal]

Woo!

[jade kayak]

I am off this week

[young crystal]

oh?

[jade kayak]

Anxiously anticipating this Friday 😵‍💫

[modern acorn]

I gotta wait till Saturday 😭

[static fjord]

I would like to ask you all, when is preload of the beta being opened? Has that been announced?

[quasi sigil]

Are streamers allowed to Live stream the Open Beta ?

[tall beacon]

Yes, fully public

[tall beacon]

@static fjord no info on preload, assume not available

[earnest maple]

Twich drops when ?

[stuck wasp]

The pre order DLC is not even finished and you ask for twitch stuff 😆

[eager sparrow]

This game still alive?

[tall beacon]

Vietnam is yet to be "born"?

[cosmic cradle]

@plain lake you said you were going to put out an update post regarding console beta status, just wondering when you plan on posting said update?

[thorn terrace]

He did claim yesterday that he’s “chasing everyone today for updates” but uh…

Even if he just doesn’t know the devs should have told him

[plain lake]

All I have at this stage is that this weekend is Steam only I'm afraid 🫡 I know that we want to get console players in to test though and as soon as I have an update on that I will let you know

[jade kayak]

https://giphy.com/gifs/abcnetwork-abc-marvels-agents-of-shield-agentsofshieldabc-S5ciWyhCnVUWPjkFQO

[stable citrus]

console beta starts June 18th

[vagrant rock]

I know that you are just the messenger and you're doing what T17 wants you to do, but I'd seriously consider to just being honest and say "we'd like to give you console a playtest, but it looks like we can't; we'll try, but can't promise anything". That would at least be honest and probably get appreciated by some console folks a lot more than the constant "i'll let you know when I know more, will make an announcement at the end of week" which is pissing quite a lot of console players off. Just my two cents

[noble tinsel]

yeah they rather keep us in the dark then be like sorry we couldnt get it for the same weekend as stream due to what ever reason they rather not comment at all pretty harsh

[wind nymph]

is there an open beta this weekend?

[worldly sorrel]

Do you have to register to play in the beta or will you be able to just use steam

[jade kayak]

yes

In that post, it states: "Players can also join the free Open Beta Weekend on Steam from May 29 through June 1 to experience Hell Let Loose: Vietnam before launch.
Sign up via FirstLook here "
You DON'T have to purchase.

[livid folio]

When can we download?

[tall beacon]

@livid folio when the beta goes live, not before most likely.

[random island]

Do we need to sign up for the Beta or is it just Open when it’s live on Steam ?

[tall beacon]

@random island official word says to sign up via FirstLook.

[modern acorn]

are people that lazy to not look for what an OPEN BETA means??. like you gotta be ragebaiting

[tall beacon]

Will the beta allow crossplay?

[sharp sun]

beta is steam only, so crossplay between what?

[earnest maple]

Good morning

Will we get a beta skin for playing in the open beta or something

[young crystal]

no

[late pond]

What time tomorrow can we download via steam

[random island]

Hello kitty Tank Skin

[wild widget]

Do we have a time where the open beta drops?

[vagrant rock]

For Xbox never

[wild widget]

I play on pc too, I was just originally Xbox and never messed with the tag at the end of my name

I know console beta will be the release date. But I just wanna know when the beta drops for pc so I can download it and have it ready for when I get off work tomorrow

[dusk cedar]

Is there a pre download tomorrow gentleman? TIA

[vagrant rock]

Ah, my bad

[wild widget]

All good brotha 🤘

[vagrant rock]

You might find something in #sit-reps

But I think there is no exact time yet

[wild widget]

Yeah I scrolled up a bit I haven’t seen a time. Probably gonna be one of those 5am downloads before work

[vagrant rock]

Likely, yeah

[near otter]

10am BST

[wild widget]

Just a question for myself, are you BST? And if so what time is it for you right now 😂

[near otter]

It's currently 13:41 BST 🙂

[wild widget]

You had to go military time on me 😭

So that’s 1:41pm and it’s 8:41am here…

https://tenor.com/view/the-hang-over-zach-galifianakis-allen-computing-gif-7551824

So 5am download time… gotcha 🤘

[eager sparrow]

The game looks like Enlisted

[wild widget]

Negative Nancy.. some of us are excited

They put out a closed beta give it time and let T17 do their thing

(I have little to no faith)

[eager sparrow]

Yea... some of you...

I aint

[wild widget]

Don’t buy the game then, steam offers plenty of other games to play. You can’t be frustrated on a game that hasn’t even had a public play yet (not counting the closed beta)

I think you are excited and don’t wanna admit it 😏

I don’t know what to tell ya then 😂

[eager sparrow]

I dont know either

But tbh T17 should have just stayed with WW2 and maybe fix the game first

[wild widget]

Don’t stress it, it’s a $35 game

[eager sparrow]

I dont even pay with Dollars

[wild widget]

Well $35 is relatively cheap for a new video game

[eager sparrow]

I still wont buy it nor pay my bills with Dollars

[wild widget]

Usually a new game is $60-$70 for the base game

[eager sparrow]

Thank god I was born in Germany

[wild widget]

Now your just being difficult

[eager sparrow]

No I just use Euros as everyone here does

[desert rivet]

That's a lot of money

[wind nymph]

I use dollarydoos, thats Australian currency

[wild widget]

Yeah if your panhandling 😭

[vagrant rock]

Bro, please don't be so obtuse

[desert rivet]

He is just so annoying sometimes I don't know why he does that

[wild widget]

You just said you won’t pay for it though too

[desert rivet]

He is actually a nice dude when he isn't being stupidly annoying

[eager sparrow]

Yea because why should I buy a product which I dont like nor has any use?

[vagrant rock]

Now we have two guys being obtuse

[eager sparrow]

Sometimes I like to be annoying

[desert rivet]

I realised

[wild widget]

Then why are you in here.. 😂

[vagrant rock]

Sometimes?

@eager sparrow scrim 9PZ shitter 🗣️

[eager sparrow]

Other question, why shouldnt I be here?

[near otter]

5 minute slowmode, conversation ruined, smh

[desert rivet]

Huh? Fvck conversation ruined

[wild widget]

Because you have no interest in buying the game..

[vagrant rock]

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-kazuma-kiryu-pissed-off-gif-14586175

[eager sparrow]

So what? I play HLL since 5 years so whats your point? Is there a rule that you need to buy the game to enter this channel? I am just interested how my once favorite game performes now

[vagrant rock]

You do realise that this server is also for HLL ww2?

[elder thunder]

I have already played in the closed beta will I be able to play again tomorrow

[near otter]

Of course

[shy fulcrum]

gonna nitpick plenty about da gear as soon as I get my hands on it

[quick needle]

5 minute cooldown to cut the discussion between a vet and a kid whilst we were enjoying the cinema here should be considered a crime

Just embarrassing lol

[vagrant rock]

Who is who now

[last ridge]

Is the beta gonna be free

Or do i have to pay

[quick needle]

Depends how you view it but putting down this long of a cooldown also puts the mods in the rotation of earning that title

[vagrant rock]

Free

[last ridge]

Yippeeeeeeee

Im BROKE so this is good news

[vagrant rock]

Doesn't change the fact you'll need to buy it later lol

[last ridge]

Oh well ill have money then

I have a job coming up in the summer

[vagrant rock]

yippee

[last ridge]

But with the money i have now i'll buy subnautica 2

[wild widget]

It wasn’t even an argument I was trying to find out why are people judging a game that hasn’t even officially dropped yet. The game looks 1000x better than these weird indie games

[earnest maple]

Just pre ordered the game 🙂

[quick needle]

Looks dont matter as much as character does. Just compare it to dating

[shy fulcrum]

art style matters a lot

that’s what sells most of the game

we all judge a book by its cover

[last ridge]

Tbh game looks fun ash

[wild widget]

If her 🍑 is fat her heart has to be too right? 😭

[vagrant rock]

Depends on what you want >:)

[stable mortar]

Do I have to buy the preorder to beta test?

[stable citrus]

it be a lot funner if it worked

[quick needle]

Depends

[vagrant rock]

https://tenor.com/view/out-of-line-anthony-mackie-sam-wilson-falcon-the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-gif-21182970

[loud valley]

are helicopters a playable vehicle, or is it like a commander ability?

[vagrant rock]

No

[vagrant rock]

Playable

[stable citrus]

theyre playable but not very useful

[shy fulcrum]

presentation very important

[stable mortar]

Just have to have had signed up for the beta testing?

[plain lake]

nope

[last ridge]

No attack heli? 😢

[plain lake]

There will be a Transport and Supply heli 🫡

It has mounted M60s on though dw

[shy fulcrum]

like look @ 83, they had a great presentation when they first announced development. Now you don’t even have the British faction they showed in the trailer and made it into a generic US vs RU game ARMA reforger already does

[last ridge]

YOOOOOO

Big ups im gonna have so much fun

[stable mortar]

You haven’t seen the trailers

[quick needle]

When Smolensk HLL Vietnam Edition for our all beloved and banned server member?

[last ridge]

I had a stroke reading this

[stable mortar]

So if I signed up for the beta I’ll still have to preorder for the full release right

[barren fable]

so... I just googledthe classes, mainly the medic cause its what I always play as, im NOT happy with the changes this game has done to medic.... apparently when you revive a downed soldier, they are instantly healed 100% and it only takes 2 quick seconds to revive them.....

[wild widget]

I got lucky 😃💍

[shy fulcrum]

that’s strange yeah

[quick needle]

Yea sure

[last ridge]

It was like that in base hll?

[barren fable]

yeah and they fixed it...

[last ridge]

What is it now

[barren fable]

now you have to revive them, takes about 5 seconds, then you have to bandage them to prevent them from bleeding out again

[last ridge]

I mean

[vagrant rock]

You don't have to preorder

[last ridge]

medic was already kinda useless and i really dont see this as a really super big problem

[modern acorn]

will there be a live countdown till the Open beta drops @plain lake

[barren fable]

but in HLL Vietnam, you just run up, hit the heal button and bam, they are instantly healed to 100%.... thats just stupid

[sleek sandal]

@plain lake hey man, is there going to be a preload for the open beta this weekend on steam or will it just unlock on the day?

[vagrant rock]

That's good, tho?

[barren fable]

no its bad....

[crude ocean]

How to play beta on ps5?

[barren fable]

means that people will just spam the healing and people wont stay dead <.<

[last ridge]

You mean in base hll if the changes in vietnam made it slower

[vagrant rock]

Then you shoot them again

Plus, most people are too lazy to wait for a revive

Everything slowing down gameplay pace is good

[barren fable]

in Hell Let Loose, it takes roughly 6 seconds to revive, then you must bandage them.... this system worked, it worked VERY well.... why change it to make it easily playable for scrub lord newbs....

hopefully they fix it and make it more like how it is in the original Hell Let Loose....

[maiden lichen]

https://klipy.com/gifs/are-you-29

Medic even with this is still the worst class in the game, as respawning is just better period.

The days this changes we are either in HLL2 or Elise buys the game

[vagrant rock]

To make medics more purposeful, you'd need tickets :)

There at least is a chance for the former to happen

[shy fulcrum]

medic has always been the most arcade class in these games

he can get shot in the head but get picked up like nothing happen

[maiden lichen]

Thats not how this works

Headshots bring you to the KIA screen instantly

[shy fulcrum]

that’s why I said in these games, I just used an example of how someone should’ve died from something but due to mechanics they are back in the fight

[maiden lichen]

Saying these games suggested you talk about either of the HLL games.

Just wanted to correct that thats not the case in any of the 2

[shy fulcrum]

no problem

something I saw from gameplay is that the m79 40mm gets kicked out of its pipe

[torn beacon]

Has there been any videos posted of actually piloting the helis? Didn’t see any in the playlist they just dropped, only seen people riding in them

[stable citrus]

No. I flew a lot in the closed beta though. Helis were not good

[torn beacon]

That’s what I’ve heard. I love flying helis in games and have been disappointed/worried cause there been no videos of it😂

[stable citrus]

Me too. That's what I was looking forward to the most. They need a lot of work

[torn beacon]

They look really slow too. I know they are Huey’s but after seeing how the tunnel system works it seems very imbalanced. Is there a flight height cap? Seen a lot of people riding in them at mid level over the trees

[stable citrus]

The flight ceiling was really low. On the highest hill of the map you coudln't get above the tree tops

[plain lake]

It will just be unlocked on Steam

[plain lake]

And I'll drop one in #sit-reps soon

[torn beacon]

That’s even worse😂

[stable citrus]

Definetley not Ideal lmao.

[crude ocean]

Will this game stutter every minute with a 4090 as much as old HLL

[maiden lichen]

Depends if you got DLSS on or off

xD

[winged scroll]

It looks pretty easy to spot targets from a heli. Most of the bushes don't seem to load at 200 meters. I expect that helicopters will snipe people between 300-500m like chimney MGs, except now you got a chimney wherever you want... and the target cant see anything because of the bushes

[fervent grotto]

So is Open Beta tomorrow free ?

Can anyone join ?

[hollow vessel]

wait, there's an open beta?

[fervent grotto]

It looks Sick man

I can't wait for tomorrow

[vagrant rock]

That's the point of an open beta

[fringe ginkgo]

It's open, but you still need to sign up for it. It's not as simple as just downloading the client and playing

[fervent grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/we-were-soldiers-sam-elliott-vietnam-vietnam-war-defend-yourselves-gif-11856795089047683968

[fervent grotto]

I'm on the weighting list

[hollow vessel]

I thought I was enlisted but just noticed it needed discord + steam logged in, I only had one...weird UI

[jovial glen]

Rip us console peasants

[severe kayak]

Watching some videos, this looks amazing

its been a long wait, but we will get our chance tomorrow

[median crag]

is the gameplay new everyone is uploading?

[autumn thorn]

What time can you play Vietnam tomorrow?

[wild widget]

10am BST

Summits screwed

But in all seriousness.. I know we’re getting 6 maps off the rip, you guys think those maps will have a day/night and rain/shine option?

[autumn thorn]

Can download straight from steam client?

[wild widget]

I think so but I’m not 100% on that. I’m just gonna wake up at 5am and download for after work

[autumn thorn]

Fair enough 🤣

[wild widget]

I’m sure if you go on steam at release time it’ll give you an option to download

At least I hope it’s that simple

[lost sail]

Can console join?

[severe mural]

nope only steam/pc players

someone know if theres a preload today or tomorrow?

[near otter]

@maiden lichen look what I made

new toy

[maiden lichen]

Its beautiful

Love it

[fringe ginkgo]

Sure, they just need to watch players on Twitch who have the game installed on their PC

[maiden lichen]

@near otter
I used all my tech knowledge and made it into a gif

[maiden lichen]

Just like Clown teached me to do it

[fresh flame]

Hi, i've seen conflicting information. Does the open beta also require a sign up via firstlook or will it be just downloadable via steam and that's it?

[lavish locust]

So what do they use for Vietnamese radio chatter?

Did they manage to scrounge some up from some archives, or will they record all new ones?

[thorn terrace]

@plain lake I’m shooting the messenger:
consol wen

[thorn terrace]

Just Steam iirc

[fresh flame]

good to know thanks 😄

[plain lake]

It will become available on Steam as an app to download upon going live.

[plain lake]

Not this weekend I'm afraid

[tight geyser]

Any explanation would be appreciated

[thorn terrace]

Good thing there haven’t been any updates on the console status, then… oh

#sit-reps message

Funny how that happened

[plain lake]

Completely understand and will get an explanation as soon as I can. Hoping to have one for you post the steam open beta as to the console plans 🫡

[tight geyser]

Ok appreciate that I think a lot of people would understand and not be as upset as some people are about it if they just knew what was going on and exactly what is holding it up

[plain lake]

100%. As soon as I have an update will share 🙂

[wanton widget]

I’m trying to figure out the size it is

[celest spire]

the napalm effect looks ok but it needs to stick around waaaaay longer

[glass cobalt]

Hell let loose Vietnam!nn

[celest spire]

it seems to dissapear after like 3 seconds

[wanton widget]

Ahh so hopefully that means the beta isn’t that large

Ahh it’s 33.9 GBs I just saw that

[severe mural]

where

[abstract parrot]

i thought you would have it by the end of last week? dog we have no gameplay or info on console which makes people think there’s something seriously wrong with that version of the game

[naive tendon]

excuse me for partecipe at beta test?

[alpine iris]

no news yet

[wet solstice]

any info on the time the beta may quite possibly go live per chance

[naive tendon]

tomorrow it's open or under invite?

[wet solstice]

open

[jade kayak]

It's an Open Beta.

[jade kayak]

It's probably like other betas, so early time USA around 10 am?

[wet solstice]

est or pst

[jade kayak]

est

Like the experimental branch was starting at 10 am.

sorry, 11 EST technically. I'm reading it as mine which is 10 for centrla

[vagrant rock]

That's what she said

[wanton widget]

That’s when ya say “all ya gotta do is ask”

Any player can drag incapacitated teammates, but you hold the key for 2 seconds before dragging initiates

[keen temple]

So how buggy is the playtest?

[wanton widget]

Seeing how it’s not out for another 14 hours who knows

[keen temple]

Ah

[hybrid blaze]

Question about the open beta. Does my friend need to sign up for it or will it be available to download on steam?

[jade kayak]

I played closed beta. I don't remember it being very buggy 🤷‍♀️ But everyone has their own experiences.

it's open.

What do you think? 🧐

[hybrid blaze]

I looked online and it said sign up now so I dont know

Thats why im asking lol

[fathom violet]

I have the same question lmao, I signed up so I do I have to wait for a code, I assume not but I also have not long got a pc so have never downloaded an open beta

[jade kayak]

I'd say sign up to be safe

but I'm not 100% sure if it's required or not.

[desert rivet]

Available

That is why it is open

[hybrid blaze]

Sweet

Just checking

Ty

[dusk cedar]

1st of June for what country?

[desert rivet]

Paraguay

[jade kayak]

Open Beta Details

Start: May 29, 10AM BST / 5 AM EST / 2AM PDT

End: June 1, 10AM BST /  5 AM EST / 2AM PDT

[dusk cedar]

Thanks

[normal blaze]

5AM EST for those too lazy to google

[jade kayak]

Added 👍

[dusky flax]

@jade kayak if you want a single time you can put this and it will give everyone their local time <t:1780045200:f>

It looks like this: <t:1780045200:f>

[midnight minnow]

Who had access to that btw?

[jade kayak]

Folks who signed up for closed beta and got accepted.

[midnight minnow]

Ah makes sense

[lost sail]

Can't wait to get my Draft card for HLLV

[cedar adder]

I saw drewski, nano, Jackfrags and Ferguson from royal armory in one video

[cosmic cradle]

I’m seeing small creators playing they really letting anyone in I guess

[wanton widget]

I’ve convinced my group of 15 to all buy this game

We shall cause chaos in Vietnam

[sharp sinew]

how do you join the playtest this weekend?

[viscid goblet]

are they sending out approvals for open beta yet? I bought the game already and am on the waitlist

[jade kayak]

See above. It's an open beta. Sooo OPEN to anyone

[cosmic cradle]

Who did they pick to play early with the war correspondents? Considering there’s only a handful of them

[viscid goblet]

No time yet?

[wet solstice]

@viscid goblet

someone should just pin that

[near otter]

what if I told you it already was?

[wet solstice]

lol

[celest spire]

Devs pls take som insparation from this to update the napalm effect:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca4sj_zFfjE

[vestal meteor]

Dose anyone know how you will be able to download it and play? Will it just be on Steam?

The BETA tmr

[viscid goblet]

Download on steam when it comes up apparently

[river yacht]

call me crazy but wtf is happening with that ak?

[young crystal]

[civic bluff]

Anyone know when the beta starts tomorrow?

[turbid mountain]

the questions the questions we all ask

[civic bluff]

Thanks!

[vocal bloom]

Watched someone play the game and got so excited I repurchased deluxe immediately 🥹🥹🥹

[icy charm]

Anyone happens to know if devs plan to add GeForce Now support for HLLV?

They did with HLL so I hope they do with VN

[cedar adder]

I haven’t seen much artillery gameplay

From any streamers so far

[turbid mountain]

basically i have dubbed if the open beta for hllveitnam aint good ima prob just refund the preorder and get something else lol

[tall beacon]

@turbid mountain so I'm confused why pre-order before the beta in the first place 😆

[turbid mountain]

lowkey didnt know

honestly thought they was gonna skip basically a server slam lol

[keen temple]

Ill be honest i didnt know they were doing artillery because of the lack of content creators using it

[cedar adder]

Which is interesting

[tall beacon]

Mortar squads

[cedar adder]

Vietnam was a very artillery heavy war

On both sides

[cedar adder]

Thanks, is it 82mm or do they have access to 120s

[tall beacon]

That I don't know

2 mortar squads max, 3 roles

[turbid mountain]

now i do have a big question why is the game called Hell Let loose in the first place?

[celest spire]

lol the famed NVA heinkel 111

obviously its a place holder but still funny to see

[dusty swift]

Dying to active helicopter blades is actually so cool

[celest spire]

sliced up like fruit

[balmy wharf]

Hey, what's up? Maybe this question is a bit obvious, but is the open beta coming to Xbox? I ask because I saw a post on Hell Let Loose's Instagram where they tagged Xbox.

P.S. Sorry for my English; I'm writing this using a translator.

[river yacht]

Only steam I believe

So no

[balmy wharf]

Damn, that's a shame

[old scaffold]

what time will the open beta be in UK time?

[stray locust]

No redownload for beta?

Pre*

[old scaffold]

thought it was open beta

[near otter]

10am BST is 10am UK time 😄

[atomic steppe]

It is open

[old scaffold]

thx boss

[atomic steppe]

Man.. Trying to figure out whats in the deluxe on steam is painful had to join the discord

Luckily it was here #sit-reps message although it doesn't explain much lol

[old scaffold]

any pre-loads?

sad times

[minor tree]

anyone able to tell me how long your wait was to get accepted into open beta, have been so hyped for so long and am dying to get into the jungle

[old scaffold]

its a open beta

[minor tree]

i know but for entry they send an email and i havent heard back yet

[alpine kayak]

does anyone know where the download for the open beta will be?

[minor tree]

prob email

so im guessing after reading this chat that the beta will go live on steam and its just not started yet? am def confused. i live in nz

[winged badger]

no u dont get email

that was for closed beta

just install at 10am bst

convert it for your timezone

[minor tree]

ok thank you so much

[turbid mountain]

lowkey dunno if the game good so i just honestly bought the standard pre order lol

[minor tree]

sorry for the stupidity

[turbid mountain]

a while back btw

[winged badger]

that was for closed beta in april

u wasnt accepted

[minor tree]

if its anything close to rising storm im going to love it

[winged badger]

there is gameplay go look on yt

its not rly like rising storm other than its vietnam plays very diff

[atomic steppe]

Well luckily steam refunds are the easiest thing in the world, but me and local friends enjoyed the first and put many hours in won my first commander game ever, so i have no issue in this pre-order normally I don't pre-order anything until the last day for the bonus stuff

[turbid mountain]

true steam refunds are the easiest but like i havent ever played the first hell let loose at all lol

[minor tree]

maps as big as first HLL?

[atomic steppe]

I'd say your missing out but You get into the new one. WW2 games are a different beast and cater to certain folks

Had a friend quit because of iron sights lmao

[winged badger]

ur missing our if u didnt play hll ww2

its so insanely good

its always gna be popular even with vietnam so never too late

[atomic steppe]

We are active military or vets and got way to accustomed to EOTech I think lol

[winged badger]

i couldnt recomend hll enough if u havent tried

[winged badger]

LOL i feel u coming from games with reticles and not insane ranges

but the iron sights are so much better than scopes in hll

once u get ur fov setup nicely its ez

[atomic steppe]

Buddies last work day is this release day so we are gonna do nothing but crash helicopters

[winged badger]

LOL

[atomic steppe]

Err I mean win the points in helis**

[winged badger]

i wonder how it will work

[turbid mountain]

so then uh whats wrong with me just being a military brat normally getting into war games lol

[winged badger]

will it be commjnity servers?

or matchmaking

[flat stirrup]

so far it seems to use the same code base as HLL so anything you like or dislike from that game is going to be true in the new one

[atomic steppe]

Nothing? but when you serve and are use to red dots, acogs, or hell tank reticles with thermal, lead tracking etc. going to an iron nub just feels weird

[flat stirrup]

its less "a new game" and more "an expansion"

[turbid mountain]

i mean technically the devs could do that

but likeee technically it would be big for a dlc

[flat stirrup]

Imagine if the german team was good and made a series of 4 man squads so they could have 50% STG-44s and you have Vietnam

also yellow color filter because we're in mexico

[turbid mountain]

crazy

[turbid mountain]

ok then i am just weird cause in ready or not i try to do iron sights all the time lol

[atomic steppe]

As someone who used German MG3's.. Those things are scary.. German engineering in general is top notch until you try to repair something and don't have the specialty tool they make for like every part lol

[turbid mountain]

soooo was the first hell let loose good?

[atomic steppe]

I assume Vietnam will have BARs soo looking forward to that. IDK if they will add one of my favorite weapons used in Vietnam but the L1A1 but I always liked FAL weapons since Modern warfare2 days

[flat stirrup]

HLL is fun for like 20-40 hours and then you have to either be okay with its many problems or move on

[atomic steppe]

Yeah its good, storming buildings and trenches with a bunch of blueberries and winning always gives a bunch of "Hell yeah brother"s

[turbid mountain]

now the question is why is it called hell let loose?

[atomic steppe]

War, war never changes

[turbid mountain]

is that some warhammer thing?

[cedar adder]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I9Z-txgoZio

Final some fire support

[cedar adder]

I shot an MG3 once

It was fun but ran out of rounds so fast

[vernal sorrel]

I believe it’s named after a book

[halcyon loom]

Thank you guys for gifting me it on steam. I really appreciate it

[sudden fossil]

Does anyone know if you can download it for beta yet or do we have to wait till 2am

[atomic steppe]

Pretty sure they called it a buzzsaw for a reason lmao in a tank ammo is less of an issue since you can snap a few belts together. Seen it chop OPFOR in half in theatre

[atomic steppe]

Someone said 10am BST earlier

[cedar adder]

Interesting

[cedar adder]

Speaking of tanks, I shot a Swiss leopard 2A4 at best tank competition last year in Grafenwehr

It was fun but cramped. I couldn’t be a tanker

[atomic steppe]

Nice, did they let you yell cha-ching? when you pulled the rocker handles, even practice rounds are like 2500 bucks a shot

[cedar adder]

Nah I yelled F yeah. I fired the MG3 again and 4 rounds at a target at different distances

[atomic steppe]

Thats anice firing pad

Beats a large hill in middle of nowhere

leo 1 hull on the right tho

The tool box on the back lol

[late oriole]

I havent gotten the hllv beta email yet yk what's up?

i did all the steam/discord account linking stuff and signed up

[jade kayak]

It's an open beta on Steam, no closed or open beta currently on console (we're not sure why and Ben hasn't been told either)

[late oriole]

ik i play regular hll on ps5 but ive got pc as well

[jade kayak]

So then for Open Beta you don't need an invite

[jade kayak]

check pin for times

[late oriole]

👍 so i just wait till 5am and then i can download?

[jade kayak]

I am not sure 🤷‍♀️ Maybe?

[wild widget]

This is like Christmas morning but for nerds 🤓🥹

[turbid mountain]

more like gun nerds get it right

[light nexus]

im so excited

i thought i would only get 3 days to play before shipping out for basic

[strong coral]

how long till it realesases

[jade kayak]

For Open Beta? Like 7 hours.

Game? It's June 18

[karmic orchid]

i signed up on first look for the open beta, do i get an email? or how does it work

[icy warren]

I fear so badly for this games console release. No open beta on console just reminds me of CP:2077 not being reviewed and withheld until release and how badly its launch went

[karmic orchid]

you realize that the game, even on pc isnt gonna be technicly "ready" for about a year?

it will be released, but still missing features and needing updates

its a way to fund development

[jade kayak]

check the pinned.

[light nexus]

i was under the impression we didn't need to sign up, only download from steam when live. am i wrong?

[jade kayak]

Seems to be that way, the pinned shows Ben's message regarding it.

[light nexus]

yes thats why i didnt think signup was neccessary ty

[broken cloak]

So anyone got fact on how to join the beta? I cant seem to find anything on steam

[floral plaza]

https://hll-vietnam.firstlook.gg/dashboard/

same way for the closed beta

[rocky flax]

Start: <t:1780045200>
End: <t:1780304400>

[umbral bay]

you wont until the beta is live in about 2 hours and 40 mins

[broken cloak]

Ok thanks

[rocky flax]

They calling it super close for info, so far all we have is "Firstlook.gg will send more info later"

[umbral bay]

once the beta is live it will be available as an app through steam to download, there isn't a need for firstlook for the open beta, there wont be a code, its an open beta with a straight download. If they still end up doing a closed beta for console then firstlook would handle that.

[rocky flax]

Yea I get that, but why did they emial out saying specifically that "We'll be sharing more details via FirstLook.gg before the open beta begins...."

[umbral bay]

yea the details will be the same that ben shared, its an app available to download through steam, not tricking you or anything.

this was the direct response to someone asking if they will need a code or anything

[rocky flax]

Well of course it won't be through firstlook.gg as it's an open beta.... it will just be a steam game download, prob using the previous game that got nuked of files at the end.

[umbral bay]

I think its just a way to make sure they can inform as many people as possible, so everyone will get an email informing them that open beta is live and steps how to download it, they want it to be massive because they can share the numbers before launch.

[rocky flax]

Question is, is that game avaliable on the store now to those that didn't play the closed beta?

[umbral bay]

nah but it will be once the live beta starts

[rocky flax]

right, figured they might want to do it a few hours early and allow for a preload

[umbral bay]

yea that would be nice, I know some people have some brutally slow internet and they probably wont have it downloaded for a day.

[silent zinc]

I doubt its that big

[icy warren]

This is a full release game no? I was not aware it was an early access title. If it’s not your point is mute

[silent zinc]

its a full release

in name anyway

[umbral bay]

Nah but some people have insanely slow internet depending on the infrastructure of their country, like 50 GBs will take them a few hours.

[silent zinc]

Yeah, that used to be me lol

but honestly with the advent of 5GUW and unlimted data plans you can hot spot a download nowadays even in the middle of no where

[stiff garnet]

Yeah not liking that. On the other hand, it's open the entire weekend so who cares

[silent zinc]

I was hoping the download would be up before I went to bed regardless

[umbral bay]

I think a lot of people were, I am also in that party, stay up for a download and face certain death from the wife or wait till morning.

[silent zinc]

lol

I have 200 Mbps internet but still

[light nexus]

my wife chill with it as long as i buy her every new spiderman and lego game lol

[silent zinc]

nah looks like it'll be another 3 hours

[light nexus]

all time zones its in roughly 2 hr 40 min

[light nexus]

.

[silent zinc]

#mess-hall message

that will show your local time but yeah its 2 hours and 44 minutes

[rocky flax]

please, when you join any discord, just take 2 seconds too scroll up a bit and check out what people are talking about. Can answer questions very quickly.

[light nexus]

also super easy to search for the answer

[rocky flax]

I was being nice, I was helping you learn a habit that will help you and remove the strain from others having to say the same thing over and over you see?

[light nexus]

it was only a page up the question was answered for the 20th time i seen today, honestly not rude to say that

[rocky flax]

I honestly don't know why the CM or someone from the team have not made a post about it, should've been done on like Wednesday/Thursday at the latest.....

Should be an announcement on discrd.

[light nexus]

should be pinned fs

[silent zinc]

people never look at the pins, which I don't blame them they are in a crappy spot and have to go look for them specifially its a terrible system on discord

[light nexus]

only on phone is it crappy

[silent zinc]

nah its crappy on desktop too, its hidden in the top right corner

[light nexus]

on my pc i see it top right next to search

[silent zinc]

I never look up there

[uncut coral]

So they Ignored the M14 and completely left it out of the game?

[silent zinc]

I have no idea

[rocky flax]

It should be an announcement

[light nexus]

was ill suited for the enviroment and phased out irl

[rocky flax]

who runs an open playtest and the only mention of it was an email saying that firstlook.gg would be sending more info, despite it being on Steam and therefore firstlook.gg are no logner being used for it lol

[uncut coral]

Yeah sure we know IRL the M14 was flawed and heavy but in game it would fill in perfectly for the bigger weapon like the M1 in HLL being a one shot kill compared to the Carbine

[silent zinc]

They've certainly dropped the ball on marketing for this game and beta

[lone citrus]

Normally I’d be in bed by now but ima stay up and play. Stoked for this one even if it definitely shouldn’t be released yet.

[silent zinc]

best shot now is sponsored streams I would imagine but idk if they are even doing that

[light nexus]

same

[uncut coral]

Enjoy got us console players please 💔

[upbeat fiber]

early to ask but, what timezone is the beta becoming avalaible, did they say?

[rocky flax]

I just hope the player base from Oceanic side actually bother playing this time, first night was good, second was dead, servers were empty. 🐨 🥝 🇦🇺 🇳🇿

[light nexus]

vietnam war was mostly cqb in certain cases, ammo capacity was an issue, warping on the stock, etc. i think its to go along with realism as only marksman still used m14 for the majority of the war

[rocky flax]

We also have not seen the full scope of day 1 weapons and also roadmap, I think nit picking on things like this is pointless at the moment

[uncut coral]

I’m just an M14 supremacist and want to drop VC with one shot with my battle rifle

[light nexus]

i agree, i dont neccesarily care what guns are in the game only offering reasons as they might have for leaving some out

[vagrant rock]

Then people wouldn't check that either.

[karmic orchid]

it is a full release, but really only in name theyre still gonna have a bunhc of new features and updates for years

[vagrant rock]

It's actually insane how people ask the most braindead questions without bothering to do even the tiniest amount of research before

[light nexus]

hush dino your making too much sense rn

[vagrant rock]

aw :(

https://tenor.com/view/tigger-cant-sleep-sad-emotional-gif-12332801

[karmic orchid]

its a niche bro

[light nexus]

honestly ya bing, not many players care for this style of game and the ones that do die on its hill

me and my coworker watched the teaser in the same 10 mins at work lol

[karmic orchid]

exactly, me and my buddies are all big history guys. we adore hell let lose, and the lower br's of war thunder. me and my buddy that play together are litteraly ww2 memrobelia collectors, and mt buddy has a veitnam MP USGI helmet (still jealous)

were both hyped for the game

[vagrant rock]

On one hand, yes. On the other hand, the community will do the advertising thanks to videos and clips on TikTok

[vagrant rock]

Even if HLL is not really known for historical accuracy? 😄

[light nexus]

my grandpa was an eod in the war and i got his old uni and some ribbons, my brother got some of his medals

[karmic orchid]

thats how me and my buddy found hell let lose through instagram

[vagrant rock]

Definitely not surprised

Without all those short clips, HLL never would've gotten so big in the first place

[karmic orchid]

its not the most acurate but what other games let you drop a kraut with .30 carbine 50v50 multiplayer?

[silent zinc]

Drewskis video has some rough rough parts honestly

[vagrant rock]

I know a couple

[karmic orchid]

none as good as hell let loose

[vagrant rock]

Hard disagree there

[light nexus]

HLL got to be one of the most accurate depictions of the chaos of war imo

[karmic orchid]

exactlyyy

[vagrant rock]

Nah. Definitely not. @eager sparrow where you at :D

[karmic orchid]

like i can go run under a tank and place a mine, thats my only at mine kill

[vagrant rock]

HLL fits the vibe of what you expect from a ww2 movie

But that's about it

It's very good at gaslighting people into believing it's authentic or even realistic

[karmic orchid]

bro if you just gonna hate on the game then why you in here

[vagrant rock]

I'm not "hating" on it

[light nexus]

as someone with numerous family members giving first hand accounts of ww2 and vietnam war its very close

[vagrant rock]

I'm argueing against the glazing as if HLL was the best and most realistic and authentic ww2 shooter when it clearly isn't

It's a good shooter and good at what it does, but that's about it

[karmic orchid]

well yeah nobody is doing that, earlier i dumped 4 .45 into a krauts chest at 20 ft and he killed me with 2 9mm to the chest, yet he can eat 45 for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

[vagrant rock]

You did

[karmic orchid]

i mean like gameplay feeling wise, im not saying its super realistic

[light nexus]

sometimes ppl take ahwile to die thats pretty accurate

[karmic orchid]

i guess bro but if you cant drop sombody with 4 rounds of 45 to the upper chest then maybe its an act of god

[light nexus]

some crazier happenings went on in the wars

[vagrant rock]

Or a hitreg issue which HLL is famous for

[rocky flax]

Not many people playing these games even have a clue about niche things, other then things like who was at war, when and thats about it lol

[vagrant rock]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-carell-thankyou-michael-scott-theoffice-thanks-gif-9222847

[karmic orchid]

it most certianly was, the 1911 is infamous for those in game

[rocky flax]

They just want to be an army man and drive some vehicles and shoot some guns in reality and achieve a win by captureing as a team. Most people don't gaf that a soldier was carrying version 2.3 of a certain gun or that their ammo belt had 200 rounds instead of the proper 350 or whatever lol

[karmic orchid]

as much as i olove thr 1911 its terrible for hitreg

[light nexus]

i mean my grandpa stepped on an ied that killed his buddy meanwhile he only needed a cane to walk sometimes wacky shi happens

[karmic orchid]

i do, but at the same time it doesnt kill my imerison its just a game

[vagrant rock]

Okay, but that's personal preference then. HLL is the biggest and most successful games of the like out there, but there are other ww2 shooters that are more immersive, more realistic more historically accurate and just simulate the feeling of war much, much better

But they all stay(ed) much smaller than HLL for a plethora of reasons

[tall beacon]

The Steam Open Beta is available to download at approximately <t:1780045200:t>.

[prime pendant]

how to add the playtest to steam library ?

[vagrant rock]

Which proves exactly my point. HLL is not immersive in regards to how war actually is or even was back then. HLL feels immersive based on what you think ww2 was based on pop culture and mainly ww2 movies

[light nexus]

the "feeling of war" is subject to change constantly across such a small period of time even

a little over 100 years ago we still lined up as if it were muskets being used

and while mg were rampaging we bayonet charged in the same battle

[open meadow]

What Timezone is this

[indigo lodge]

CST, 2am PST. 5AM Est

[covert grove]

yours 😅

[light nexus]

thats tailored to your specific one

[open meadow]

Oh yeah lmao couldn’t see my screen is so dark

[frigid cosmos]

Presume GMT?

[covert grove]

he got it probably because of the cloded playtest, public one will probably be a button on the HLL:V store page when it's public

[chilly echo]

I just submitted my application

[fleet drum]

u did not receive any invite

is the waitlist long ?

[rocky flax]

You DONT need to sign up to firstlook for open weekend

[fleet drum]

where do u get it

[rocky flax]

When is the PC (Steam) Open Weekend?
Start: <t:1780045200>
End: <t:1780304400>

How do I get access/play it?
Simply search Steam for "Hell Let Loose Vietnam: Playtest", this will be available closer to the start of the open weekend.

[covert grove]

^

[fleet drum]

thx

[chilly echo]

Does this mean that I don't need to submit a trial play request via the website? Is that the idea?

[steep minnow]

by my guess it'll either start open for download 1 hour from start or we'll have to download it when it does start

[toxic mica]

that was only for the closed test

[chilly echo]

thanks

[inland lily]

i understand it starts at 7PM but what time zone?

[fleet drum]

in 1 h30

[fleet drum]

it s ur time zone

[inland lily]

😮

[icy warren]

If it’s a full release that there’s no reason for it to be an unoptimized mess on console on release and it really is starting to feel like it will be that way with the beta being cancelled and no gameplay or reviews coming to console until release.

[fringe drum]

google BST TIME and when the clock hits 10.00AM taa-daa it should be playable 1 hour 25 minutes

[fast ferry]

[dusk cedar]

i dont know when the actual thing will be out on steam, as you can see above it says '' closer to the start ''

[steep minnow]

if theres no preload in the next few minutes im just gonna default to saying that its gonna be downloadable at 10 am bst

[stray summit]

is the playtest not for console ):

[dusk cedar]

there has to be a pre download surely

[dusk cedar]

[stray summit]

[rancid sphinx]

[steep minnow]

my internet is gonna be put to work man
60 gb of game takes me a full day to install

[dusk cedar]

there is no sign up

[light nexus]

you gonna burn your house down

[tardy swift]

Hi! Guys, if you have the time and are willing to answer a question for me. Is it mandatory to sign up for FirstLook in order to play in Vietnam? Also, how do we download the game?

[rancid sphinx]

every where im looking it says there is a sign up

[light nexus]

.

[rancid sphinx]

so its just going to be on the steam page when it hit the open beta time ?

[light nexus]

yes

[severe mural]

if u would read the chat, u know all about it xD

[rancid sphinx]

freaking youtube man

[light nexus]

its not a closed beta

[rancid sphinx]

i knew that i still thought you had to sign up for some reason

[steep minnow]

i love that the firstlook says they'll post information about it before the beta begins
theres an hour left...

[severe mural]

bro just read a few lines above

[maiden lichen]

Firstlook was only necessary for the closed beta which was weeks ago. The open beta does not require firstlook.

[steep minnow]

im aware, im just saying that they said on firstlook that they'd share more info on the open beta before it begins

[light nexus]

if you get an email from first look this time around its just gonna direct you to the open beta on steam and should then be available for download

[novel remnant]

No preload for the beta?

[maiden lichen]

Nope

I got this tho

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1463310342619795599/1509588091420282931/No_preload.gif
