AoE on the Purifier should be bigger or hit harder with secondary firemode for when you don't need explosive

I'll continue later for the Verdict handgun

[bitter elk]

Frankly hard to replace the GL pistol with anything else lol

The utility power it provides is immense

And frees up nade slot too

Pocket pistol EMS when??

I'd be drooling

[earnest stag]

The little smg

Life saver while running away

Small group deleter

[light nymph]

the GL pistol is ass. It's ammo economy is horrible

[bitter elk]

Personally either of the two is definitely awesome

Though I need my stun nades

So I have always opted for nade pistol to accommodate my destruction needs

[earnest stag]

The revolver is also fun

[bitter elk]

Oh yeah revolver is style point more than anything and that's fine by me

[bitter elk]

I don't personally find myself struggling with it's ammo unless I somehow using it too much offensively speaking

Bug nest blowing, yeah, though only if I'm missing my shots

Though it might just be that

[light nymph]

it's 1 grenade per ammo pick up and 2 per resupply box

kind of bad

[bitter elk]

I adapted my playstyle around it's ammo efficiency

So I don't feel affected by it as much

[bitter elk]

Yeah I only ever reserve to use it often for bug nest ultimately due to how constrictive it's ammo supply is

Or

Brood commanders

Cause fuck those mf lol

[light nymph]

use normal grenade vs bug hole?

[bitter elk]

I love my stun nades, don't you dare take it away from me!

[eager cliff]

Ita usable, dont rely too much on it tho

[bitter elk]

I do love using it to handle brood commanders quicker if I must

Quarter mag dump into her

And a single nade

Usually dies quick

Since these guys are just attention hoggers

When I have more dire needs to deal with the 30 hunters making home in my ass

Equally I am still unsure about the reduced slow down booster

Need to try that more

[muted fossil]

running around with the flamethrower and the fire module like

https://tenor.com/view/fire-kill-fuego-matar-incendiar-gif-5307315

[plain bough]

I seem to recall there was an unreleased GL with fire rounds in em, can't wait for that to drop

[twin perch]

Turret

[eager cliff]

so all teh guns are shit

[hybrid epoch]

I am imagining literal ring of fire turret from Bloons dropping onto a patrol.

[twin perch]

No?

The plasma one is ass, everything else is fine

[eager cliff]

yeah no

the smg is decent with the shield for bots cause it staggeers i guess

[gaunt topaz]

flamethrower seems ass to me

maybe only good for crowd control

[twin perch]

It actually does really good damage even without the ship upgrade

[gaunt topaz]

[muted fossil]

Just killed like a dozen chargers in two tanks

Granted I have the upgrade so it hits harder

but its definitely not a bad weapon

[gaunt topaz]

ok i was too quick to judge

[muted fossil]

as with most of the weapons in the game, you need to adjust playstyle/tactics/teamplay for things to truly shine

[twin perch]

@plain bough I can bet next tuesday we get another gun balance patch

lmao

[plain bough]

Probably reduce the Purifier charge time

[twin perch]

Tenderizer buff

||Pummerle nerf, it was too fun to use||

Average AH Dev

[gaunt topaz]

the stims are supermeth.... we love supermeth.. for super earth...

[gaunt topaz]

i feel that the 500kg bomb from what I have seen is kinda mid

and off the opinion of my friend.

it's like.... a worse orbital precision strike. likely does more damage but it's considerably slower

[eager cliff]

500kg is ok but after upgrades

[gaunt topaz]

the range aint even it

[eager cliff]

so you get two per restock or shit

[gaunt topaz]

yeah but doesnt it get a 2 minute cooldown between uses anyway

[eager cliff]

ye

or not

idk i dont remember i didnt use it

[gaunt topaz]

orbital precision strike is much faster tbh..

[eager cliff]

Railcannon is good versus a big enemy like bile titan

it guarantees a good hit on the enemy

[gaunt topaz]

just comparing orbital precision and 500kg eagle

[eager cliff]

eagle does more and bigger area

[gaunt topaz]

considerably slower

and the range aint even THAT much

ive seen it before that shit aint it

cause

people use the 500kg on big things right

fuckin bile titans and the like

orbital precision does the same shit just sort of.. faster...

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

for crowd control you have better tools than 500kg.. and orbital precision..

[pale hollow]

aoe damage does not apply to heads, on any enemy or friendly

[gaunt topaz]

listen am i real or am i fake..

orbital precision strike > 500kg eagle
only thing 500kg does better is looking cool

[pale hollow]

500kg is better for busting shrieker nests.
Otherwise precision strike is mostly better

[muted fossil]

500kg only gets better as you get more used to deploying it

Precision is an all time great once you can aim it steadily

[pale hollow]

The issue with precision is when you have the orbital scatter modifier

[muted fossil]

yea, but unless you're not checking it, its on you if you picked into it

[twin perch]

For me it's like

[muted fossil]

And its still on you if you didnt check it tbh xD

[twin perch]

Precision > Railcannon

and 500kg > Railcannon

[muted fossil]

Cooldown time is a big thing

[twin perch]

yeah

[muted fossil]

and only gets better as you get more adept with your aim

railcannon solid for "fire and forget"

[twin perch]

railcanon cooldown is as long as eagle rearm iirc

while 500kg is better for the "Oh fuck multiple" moments

[pale hollow]

Railcannon is only good when you are running away from a hulk while screaming

[gaunt topaz]

ok true.

[plain bough]

Anyone else hearing that the former lead for Hello Neighbour 2 who dipped before release is possibly the one dictating the balance of our weaponry?

[eager cliff]

ye i kinda start to understand some people saying these warbonds are kinda getting meh

the guns are not that exciting and the armors are copy paste , imo at least 1 armor on the last page should be unique or shit

a unique perk or smth

[twin perch]

the first WB was

lol

it had the electro perk

these last ones... naaah fam lol

there's also 2 armors that are recolors

[eager cliff]

yeah like....it is doable

[twin perch]

in this WB

[eager cliff]

they dont have to be fucking broken

but just the little edge you need on some maps / builds idk

like the cryo one maybe should have had immunity to slow in cold climates

or other way around, it has internal cooling so you dont lose stamina on hot planets instead

shit like that

would make hot planets enjoyable instead of dog

[twin perch]

Demolition should have either less fire dmg

Or less ragdoll/explo

[twin perch]

Eruptor = too good, kill it into uselessness

Like the "meme" with the eruptor was you could run the stalward

[pale hollow]

How is the new smg compared to the Lib-Conc?

[twin perch]

It also has EMS damage

Somehow

(the Pummeler)

[plain bough]

We definitely a better stat display overall for weaponry

[pale hollow]

But how's it feel?

[plain bough]

Feels good considering you can hold it one-handed

[pale hollow]

might try it out then

[twin perch]

Honestly, it feels like it has excellent "red hit" damage

I said the same about the Tenderizer but I dunno

still wippy

https://invadersfromplanet.space/helldivers-2/

Sean do you mind pinning that

[slim coral]

Heard the Polar Patrol pack is mid

Since the AR is just a reskin

[plain bough]

Just basically a more accurate liberator with less ammo in the mag

[muted fossil]

2 taps warriors and one taps hunters with the leg/head

libbie can't do that

[twin perch]

I've saod that this morning

It has like

Better crit? Damage

[muted fossil]

yea it feels like it for sure

[twin perch]

I've used the regular pistol which has more damage

and it doesn't do that

it also mutilates enemies easier like the SMG

[muted fossil]

Any of you seen any mechs lately at all?

But it seems they fixed the credits farming

[gaunt topaz]

i had a level 86 rando die like 10 times on 6th difficulty once

and the other one that was like level 60 something died with half our samples before we took off. the other guy wasnt in the extracr vehicle but he fucking died before he could pick up the materials.

im pretty sure they were griefing but i cant tell because they were retarded

Hiw

This game is so much more fun when you ignore the community tbh

were ppl just bitch at anything

[muted fossil]

omg Sparter

[twin perch]

Yeah but lol the WB guy went and said all weps were S tier tol

They teollin

Trolling

Or bad at balance

[muted fossil]

Something I'm curious about, is most studios have more than one person doing balance. Surely people don't think this guy is the only one making all the changes?

[twin perch]

Hes mentioned doing balance in the past diring the railgun fiasco

[muted fossil]

Well yea, but if you're part of the balance team

You're going to be working on everything getting balanced

alongside all the other members of the team

My view is that its weird people think he's the only one doing the weapon balance

[sharp kindle]

balance seems to be a 1 guy thing

[earnest stag]

[muted fossil]

[fast spindle]

yeah

its either 1 guy doing balancing or somehow the entire team goes "yeah this looks fine" and nerfs already underused weaponms

@bleak patrol it's baller

i saw a good take for once by a redditor about this whole balancing thing

it should play like og mw2

everything should be good so its just personal preference on what you want to you

[twin perch]

real good take

all 8 of the ar's just being good and viable

in MW2

[fast spindle]

mw2 was so fun because you could run around with a fuckin m9 beretta and still frag out

and shotguns would evaporate like anything less than 20 feet away

I have a very unethical idea

Join in new game, tell noobs that you need a lot of Samples for good upgrade and tell that if they can pay you 5 bucks you can drop samples for them to pick up so they can collect sample

Without them knowing that sample is shared

actually just scamming people

i believe that was fixed according to some patch notes

yeah, .302

[sharp kindle]

they were slow
but they kept coming

Fatshark did this with VT2

the game is still not great lmao

so uhh

sony is banning countries again from playing

[sharp kindle]

both

[dire igloo]

also this

[slim coral]

The fact it was restricted in Vietnam made my blood boiled

Also the most ironic is that

It was banned in Japan

The same fucking country Sony was created

[plucky steppe]

due japanese copyright laws and talent agencies

snoy

it could just be a delayed effect

and steam bureaucracy catching up with that initial may 4 order

[pale hollow]

Since Sony can't really walk back on their promise they might as well sell the game in as many nations as possible.
I assume that we shall see the game return to the de-listed regions within a month's time.

[muted fossil]

vietnam banned steam itself

unless I completely missed what that was about

[twin perch]

No that was it

[muted fossil]

And Pilestedt confirmed earlier today/yesterday that they're trying to get steam and sony to relist stuff and are just waiting for them

[twin perch]

Vietnam wanted to promote the local gaming market

And their .. idea was to ban Steam

Which doesn't work because people just flush their DNS cache and swap their DNS

Jesus

Maybe don't post a guy shooting himself lol

[muted fossil]

It was for the shooting self in foot

but yea probably not

That is

[solid barn]

Idk, I don't play the game

But the fact they also blocked Ghost of Tsushima, which i was looking forward to... Upsets me.
But at least its an SP game, soo 🏴‍☠️

Must be a punishment for helldiver rebellion

[fast spindle]

no i think they were planning on doing both at the same time

sony is just an awful company

"it has to be realistic but only for this one feature that i dont wanna change rn"

[muted fossil]

tbf, he's at least been consistent in wanting the guns to be realistic

even if its a weird hill to die on

Remember when he did the job posting and he specified the person should ideally have some actual gun experience?

[twin perch]

It is a very weird hill to die on

specially when it's relating gun balance

[muted fossil]

yea

I fully agree

[fast spindle]

guns should be realistic, thats why this smg out dps's every AR in the game

Man is at the very top of the pyramid looking down

[twin perch]

And man has proven he has more vision than that

Like straight up

[muted fossil]

Whatever image of the game he has in mind, doesn't exactly promise that its the current or even near future of it

Yea, not disagreeing, just saying that its entirely possible he's doing the "I see the gun this way" and he's also seeing 68 other weapons fully balanced and done as were presented on the internal roadmap

I mean, the weapons and vision for HD1 are in a good place, we're just hoping the road to getting the HD2 weapons in that good place is what we're on

[twin perch]

Well he's putting the cart ahead the horse then lol

Like be honest here

even with the "incomplete" gun roster

a lot of the guns are extremly non-useful

[muted fossil]

You'll pry my xbow from my cold dead hands

but you're not wrong

We're three months in, they've got their content plan and their balance plan, and they simply can't get both out in the quality they want. They need some breathing room in their schedule

[twin perch]

Yeah I don't think they're doing it right still

Like their balance is not... planned

it's been very much reactive

and their reactive method has been
"hammer it down"

[muted fossil]

It feels like a kneejerk everytime

[twin perch]

"Spreadsheet says this is too meta, ban"

[muted fossil]

Like they clearly have a test server or something that isn't affected by the massive playerbase

cause they released the eruptor in a state, saw that it wasn't working properly when live, started having to "fix" it in live

and we all know how the live game just isn't handling their patches well for whatever reason

inb4 some sony intern isn't ever actually loading the files in the right order or some bullshit

[twin perch]

Actually this is a thing with consoles

You have to pay per patch

and it has like delay

[muted fossil]

I do not like this information

[twin perch]

Both Xbox and Playstaiton

and yes they can both fumble updates

and break things

[muted fossil]

Thats very cursed

but yea, the eruptor shrapnel "bug" clearly wasn't a thing they had (or maybe didnt try do) on their testing runs, and only when 400k people started to use it and find the things they missed they were like "oh shit"

[twin perch]

the sharpnel bug was a slef made issue

because they made ricochets deadly

as in, do a 180

[muted fossil]

On one hand I understand turning on the self-friendly fire to as it should have been on launch, on the other hand I disagree that the self-kills was the problem and not the charger one shots

[twin perch]

I think bugs are too chonky for weapon balance

currently bots let you run almost about anything

bugs are like

"runs these 3 or get run over or without ammo in 2 breaches"

while it makes sense

it's kinda oomphy

[muted fossil]

my personal experience with both is that I can run anything with either, so long as I account for "bots = somewhat precise aim needed and bugs = keep somewhat mobile while managing the horde"

[twin perch]

Yes but the main varience here is effectiveness

for bots as long as you have 1 "armor crack" gun for medium and heavies

it's good

for bugs you need AT and "kill fast"

for being relatively safe

[muted fossil]

I don't like using the "you should be paired up with people to cover that" excuse, but it is a reasonable answer to it regardless.

Despite that, I agree the balance team approach atm is ass

[sharp kindle]

i mean all the balancechanges are coming from the guy who did all the wack ass changes to hello neighbor

[twin perch]

Should probably replace that guy

[muted fossil]

gimme back spitz. I'll take a blunt and misinformed CM over a misguided balance lead

[twin perch]

Btw supposedly 1P gets 4P patrols

Any amount of players do

Lol

[muted fossil]

I saw that post, and I cant decide if I'm feeling it or not. Half my games are definitely 4p spawns

and half are definitely not 4p spawns

Dunno whats the exact reason for the disparity

[twin perch]

Some of my games have had like

full outposts

then I got on another 7

and there's 4

[muted fossil]

I was running around earlier on a 7. Felt like a 9 with the spawns. Next mission in operation, had entire outposts without any spawns protecting them and patrols like it was a 4

Game is just inconsistent across sessions to a point where its hard to know whats intended and whats broken

[twin perch]

Yeah 7-8-9 can both go like

1-2 titans, a few chargers, very manegeable

cooldowns good, clean map, etc

the enxt one is like

you kill a titan and another one joins in 20s

and it's just a constant stream of enemies

non stop

[muted fossil]

In a 7 with des yesterday, first 30 minutes were smooth sailing, standard difficulty. last 10 minutes was like joel personally took offense to how we hadn't died yet, and we lost all our lives in seconds

[twin perch]

Bots when they decided to drop 6 hulks and 2 tanks

on top of tonsof standard infantry

and there's a gunship tower in range

why did they buff gunships

[plain bough]

The amount of gunship towers that come in pairs, they should really up the hellbomb range cause if you don't place it exactly you can't get both of em in one go

[muted fossil]

I'm personally fine with the eagle 500kg radius, the orbital bombardments. The Hellbomb is upsettingly small.

[twin perch]

gunship towers shouldn't be hellbomb only.

[eager cliff]

Ye gunship ahould go down with 500kg and 380he

[mystic pivot]

What about this new warbond? Is it worth?

[twin perch]

Non

Like

not at all

the SMG is good but

everything else is oomph

(the pistol is a great up from the PK)

Wait for the buffs

[muted fossil]

I thought it was worth it for the incendiary impact alone

[earnest stag]

Iedy is to slow

[earnest stag]

dont forget to close my Ticket

[loud bison]

they do with an orbital precision

[twin perch]

Since when

[twin perch]

Honestly, it's very eh?

[loud bison]

since I struck one and it went down, resulting in a task failed successfully because there was a nice clump of bots i didn't want to see anymore

and a dropship took one for them

[muted fossil]

Orbital Precision kills many things that you'd normally need a hellbomb for

[loud bison]

will not kill oil storage

[muted fossil]

My experience with the new warbond is just that I have new toys to enjoy. The only thing I haven't actually used and enjoyed using so far is the grenade pistol

and thats probably cause I'm more used to using the senator

[loud bison]

but will pretty much else, haven't tried tossing one on top of a gunship fab

[twin perch]

They're all functional

but not 1000 SC's functional

XD

[loud bison]

but I have read rumor that the top of gunship fab is the hitbox

[muted fossil]

shrug they'll get there, but either way, I'm not upset about the 1000SC I collected for free going into the warbond

[winged dew]

Literally that

After so many MO's you run out of stuff to spend it on

People need some crazy resource sink that provides miniscule bonuses.

[twin perch]

We need resource sinks for A: Medals, B: Samples, C: Requisition

People will max those out

im glad i dont like it has most votes

it is the truth

they must step it up it's shameful

that warbond just sucks

Honestly I was kinda expecting some statement or something not just

"Player Poll but we haven't announced it"

[pale hollow]

three days

[twin perch]

Aight bet

[eager cliff]

now we have retards on teh official discord

saying at least they give us warbonds for free

??? wdym for free

you pay 1000sc for it

i dont care if you make it easy or not , it's not free lol

do they know what free means

brain rotted cunts

??????????????

I just said it aint free feller , you said it's free

It's 1000 SC , not free, if you need it or not it doesnt matter, not the point of the discussion

YeaH BuT i H aVe A strateGY To FARM 800sc in 1 DaY Br0

So....you have to pay 1000sc to get it right? So it's not free.

Retards

https://tenor.com/view/shannon-sharpe-suit-meme-man-wearing-suit-meme-suit-slideshow-sparkles-and-champagne-gif-26378137

[unique oxide]

its like 80% free.

you get some SC back from it, you get some from playing the game.

In the end its just a choice.
Do you spend money and buy the access now, or do you wait and get it for free?

[eager cliff]

Free means it drops, and you can immediately use your medals to buy it

Here you have to unlock it with 1000sc , not free

Being easy to get doesnt mean it's free

[unique oxide]

and yet it is free for part of the playerbase that play the game actively and farm those SCs with normal playing between the warbond drops

[echo verge]

It's not free
You have to exchange something for the warbond

And that something has a price
Time and or money

[tranquil zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-money-peanuts-explain-how-homer-gif-15536016

[unique oxide]

but its still really low price compared to how other games use the monetisation

[tranquil zealot]

but i doubt people would have bought them that easy if they were more exensive especially since they nerfed lots of guns into the ground

[unique oxide]

the balancing is problem on its own

[tranquil zealot]

yeah but if you spent real money and more (like 20$) for example and all you get iss a steaming piece of shit ... you are gonna complain a lot louder

[unique oxide]

that is true

[twin perch]

Btw

their material (samples/etc) balance is very fucking stupid

cause they're balancing around people stockpilling/capping resources lol

[tranquil zealot]

my biggest complaint currently iss that when you play higher difficulties you have to beat 3 missions to add to the capture for a planet ... and 3 missions can take a long time ... that working people sometimes dont have in one session
depending on whos on you team a set of missions can take from 40 mins - up to 2 hours

[light nymph]

Why didn't you like it?

[light nymph]

you don't have to finish the 3 missions in 1 sitting

you can finish them when ever

[twin perch]

Non unique armor perks, booster is literally.. something we sorta already have, guns aren't super good at all

like the plasma rifle

[tranquil zealot]

no thank you

[vocal hornet]

I find it weird how you need to spend top medals for some guns but they are actually worse than some guns lower in the tree

I dont see why late tier guns needs to be shit

Arent they supposed to be the shit

[plain bough]

AH is afraid to make primaries good despite the fact they're 50% of the combat at least

telling us to rely on strategems while making some of em rather shite

[twin perch]

Rely on stratagems

spawns enough titans so 4 players with railcannon and beams cannot deal with it

[plain bough]

railcannon strike out here with the 4 minute timer that can't instakill a bile titan

[light nymph]

have a player with EATS or RR and biletants are non issue

[twin perch]

Yes but that's not the argument hjere

if 2 players bring RR or EAT's all you have t o watch out is getting overrun

[light nymph]

I dunno man, I play in a stack of 3. One of us is AT, so either EATS/RR and AT starts the other is anti chaff and the 3rd can bring waht ever

it's easy

bring a balanced team

and GG

[eager cliff]

beacuse it's shit

[light nymph]

it's ok. My only gripe with it was that the first 2 armors are basically reskins of each other, the guns are decent sidegrades to what's already there

[eager cliff]

it's shit

the smg is nice tho it stuns stalkers

but otherwise, dissapointing and yeah the armors especially

they rly need to get more creative cant fucking have 10 armors with the same fucking passive

pls

[twin perch]

Actually

the SMG is straight up better but armor fucks it

and the AR is actually worse

than the Lib

Lol

[viral shadow]

im thinking of coming back to this game, did the penetrator and liberator get buffs

and were the penetrators buffs substantial

[mystic pivot]

120 lol

[twin perch]

Full auto and 10 damage

that's it

lib got the 10 damage

LibP got full auto

[slim coral]

I swear if the Liberator didnt get buffed

The new Assault Rifle would be better

But since they are the same now the new AR doesnt serve any purpose

[viral shadow]

damn so the penetrator still has no use

[twin perch]

Literally pick up the Adjudicator over it now

8 Mags, full auto, better, recoil 25 shots

80 dmg vs 45

[buoyant urchin]

Has great recoil control though, and it’s still a great DMR, will single shot smaller mobs, lasersights and flashlight

[plain bough]

Would've been better if they made the Adjudicator have HE ammunition to go along with the theme of the warbond

[buoyant urchin]

Yea the warbonds aren’t very polarizing (pun)

[pale hollow]

You are aware that by your logic here, the only free things in the game is the starter equipment, right?

[pale hollow]

The new rifle has very little recoil.
Only useful on the Automaton front though.

[eager cliff]

ANd its not true or what

??

[slim coral]

I decided to run diff 8 bot with the Sickle on hot planet
