[eager cliff]

beyond the known map

so it's out of the border

of the map

Also you can see this "gloom" in the ingame skybox on close planets which is cool af

[earnest stag]

Which was expected cause why should it spread just forward

I mean their concept is logic

Otherwise we could have cool stuff

When will we get the blue bois 😦

[plain bough]

Time for the Gloom to spit out the Super predators

So far I expected us to lose more planets if not outright fail the amount of defenses we could do for the MO

[eager cliff]

never underestimate the bug lovers

[heavy trench]

Took out the chemical drone against bugs today, it's a lifesaver, and a great combo with the Blitzer

[pale hollow]

You should try the chem drone + flamethrower, great compliment to each other

[eager cliff]

i would if i didnt have to pay 1000 sc for a shitty warbond

[pale hollow]

Understandable

[eager cliff]

ngl it should be in the super store

at least , gatekeeping it is too much , you know how many ppl i see it with the toxic thing ?

almost nobody

[pale hollow]

It should have been in the regular fucking shop

[eager cliff]

oh yeah

[pale hollow]

By the end of Helldivers 2 service life, the 'DLC' items are going to be like 10x as expensive as in HD1

combined

The microtransaction model seemed fine in the beginning, but after nerfing SC drops again and again it is starting to feel worse and worse

[eager cliff]

yeah ngl i barely have 360 sc

and most are from the warbond

i even had games where i found like 20-30 sc per game and still barely feel

this warbond was better tho

[loud bison]

there is another heavy Engineering in the super store right now

[red jetty]

i have def not seen that one

is there a better wiki to use than helldivers.io?

doesn't seem very up to date

[dire igloo]

So uh

I bought my nephew hd2 on cd/disc for his ps5
He downloads and boots the game cause like I was curious if he gets to play online in a country where hd2 isnt available even though you can buy it in physical stores
And the queue lasted 2 hrs before i told him to shut the game, after that i gave em another 20 bucks for his time

Pretty big bullshit

[pale hollow]

Sony be like: "No play, only buy!"

[dire igloo]

Starting a gofundme to sue sony

[pale hollow]

See pins

[plain bough]

Pretty stupid overall to sell PS5s and not able to play games cause your country is banned lol

[pale hollow]

**Sony be like, **"if you from Afghanistan Albania Algeria Andorra Antigua and Barbuda Armenia Azerbaijan The Bahamas Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belize Benin Bolivia Bosnia and Herzegovina Botswana Brunei Burkina Faso Burundi Cabo Verde Cambodia Cameroon The Cayman Islands Central African Republic Chad Comoros Cote d’ Ivoire (Ivory Coast) Cuba Democratic Republic of Congo Djibouti Dominica Dominican Republic Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Estonia Eswatini Ethiopia Fiji Gabon Gambia Georgia Ghana Grenada Guinea Guyana Haiti Iran Iraq Jamaica Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya Kiribati Kosovo Kyrgyzstan Laos Latvia Lesotho Liberia Libya Liechtenstein Lithuania Madagascar Malawi Maldives Mali Marshall Islands Mauritania Mauritius Micronesia Moldova Monaco Mongolia Montenegro Morocco Mozambique Namibia Nauru Nepal Niger Nigeria North Macedonia Oman Pakistan Palau Papua New Guinea Philippines Republic of the Congo Rwanda Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines San Marini Sao Tome and Principe Senegal Serbia Seychelles Sierra Leone The Solomon Islands Somalia South Sudan Sri Lanka Sudan Suriname Syria Tajikistan Tanzania Timor-Leste Togo Tonga Tunisia Turkmenistan Tuvalu Uganda Uzbekistan Vanuatu Venezuela Vietnam Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe then you are dead to me"

[latent zodiac]

shame they still haven't changed it, but it'll probably never be changed, even if it would bring them more money and get a lot of previous players back in the game

[pale hollow]

Yeah, they'll never fucking change it, because

They only thing that would make them change is EU regulation forcing them to service all member nations equally, if something like that is ever implemented

[latent zodiac]

iirc, its because those countries are specifically those that japan does not even consider as independent countries, and seeing as Sony is primarily a japanese company, yeah...
and those EU regs should be implemented, because i also believe they are the only thing that would force sony to open sales and playability to those countries

[pale hollow]

That has to be wrong, I am fairly fucking sure they recognize Latvia as an independent nation.

They also recognise Kosovo as far as I can see

So just Sony being cunts, as usual

[latent zodiac]

its just the most common reason that i've heard, but i can't think of any other reason why Sony would block those countries from buying copies or getting PSN

[pale hollow]

It actually seems like it might be to skirt around legislation and regulations in some of the countries at least

[latent zodiac]

thats actually a pretty good theory, are the countries labelled above not part of EU regulations?

[pale hollow]

Well, all EU member nations have to implement their own versions of broader EU directives. However, most nations also have their own independent laws and regulations.

They only nation where I can actually see Sony directly avoiding opening up PSN to avoid regulation is the Philippines

[latent zodiac]

huh

so its possible that those nations are just the ones who are weaker in ther regs and laws, enough so that sony can easily take advantage of them

[pale hollow]

But I assume their lawyers did one pass over most potentially profitable nations sometime years ago, and based on that we have the current PSN landscape

[pale hollow]

Example: If Sony made PSN available in the Philippines they would immediately be sued by the government for failing to submit certain documents (bribes)

[latent zodiac]

ah

[pale hollow]

And if they ever make PSN available somewhere, they can't just shut it down and claim they don't offer their service, because then they get sued for booting everyone instead

So I assume they just don't bother with nations that they see as not having huge profit potential

Now, as an EU citizen, you can purchase and activate a game in another EU nation (or have a friend send a gift while you use a VPN) then you can play Helldivers 2 at least.
For other PSN locked games that are single player, piracy is the only moral option imo, not like they even lose money from lost sales, since they fucking banned the nations anyway

[earnest stag]

Because they dont recognise those countries sovereignity due them being old racist Japanese people

[eager cliff]

Sony is rly ran by fucking satan's spawn

They are so ignorant and arrogant it's crazy

But tbf , its in line with the Japanese culture

Japanese ppl are pretty cool and chill

Except the corpos , they are the worst

[dire igloo]

Japan sold a fucking train to Serbia (the country I live in and is on the list) its literally just sony being fucking retarded

[eager cliff]

they prob do it because spending resources for their PSN shit is not worth it in said countries and they rly dont want for ppl to have their freedom , they want them to be linked to their bullshit PSN so they can feel in control

Sony sucks flaccid cock

[heavy sinew]

The stalkers will be stalked now 💀

he has unique strategem D(iddy)emoractic Oil , makes enemies ragdoll if they step on it

He's gonna take all the E-710 for himself

[plain bough]

When we locate his home on a frontier planet it's gonna have all the E710 we need for the DSS

[heavy sinew]

holy shit wtf is going on with connection to servers today

4th time in a row im losing connection to the match

[heavy sinew]

he's the one who made those E-710 farms 💀

[heavy sinew]

BRUH AGAIN WHY TF IM KEEP LOSING CONNECTION

Fuck that im playing morrowind

[latent zodiac]

finally got there

[craggy cradle]

Recoilless Rifle mains stay winning

[plain bough]

We're coping hard rn

Still 1 more MO tho

[latent zodiac]

guess im still not gonna play bots

"we want to solve the issue of excessive ragdolling"
then why the fuck does literally everything ragdoll you?

they got rid of the laser turret on the bruiser heavy because people were complaining it ragolled just like the rockets
then instead of stopping that type of turret from ragdolling you, which nobody liked or enjoyed, and most people would agree is ass, they just replaced it back with the rockets again
which are SUBSTANTIALLY WORSE

D10 bugs is difficult but fun
D10 bots is difficult but not so fun
D7 buts is not diffuclt but not fun

https://tenor.com/view/trip-fall-oops-fell-down-gif-15173243

[pale hollow]

Jet Brigade was peak bots, ever since their defeat we have been back to the usual mediocre gameplay

[craggy cradle]

idk, I have always enjoyed fighting bots more than bugs even with the ragdolls. I feel that taking good cover/distance is usually well enough (except for the heavy striders, which should get John Helldivered). As well the Recoilless Rifle deals with hulks/tanks/cannons and the reload can be interrupted so it isn't an issue with good cover/spacing. The diligence rounds out being able to oneshot devastators and berserkers in the head. The major problem is when you get patrol after patrol after bot drop after patrol but I personally find that to be worse with bugs (especially since you can shoot down 2-3 dropships per drop with proper timing).

Also I have 1,000 Super Credits-- Freedom's Flame, Steeled Veterans, or Chemical Agents?

[latent zodiac]

steeled veterans, chemical agents doesn't add anything too game changing, especially not against bots, and freedoms flame has weapons that are primarily good against bugs
steeled veterans has the dominator and the senator, both of which are great for bots and bugs, but mainly bots

some good advice for the dominator, you're gonna want to use any armor you have that has peak physic, medium or heavy class for bots, since its a sluggish thing

[craggy cradle]

fit goes hard

[bleak patrol]

Man, I did one mission (not operation) and I'm tired already

I need to move out of the bug front asap

[plain bough]

Jet Brigade is gonna invade Tarsh eventually, but we gotta get the fuel to activate the DSS simultaneously

You'd think after defending 8 terminid planets we've gotten the fuel from all that

[plain bough]

Just 1 more MO bro, you don't need that copium canister, just 1 more

pinky promise

[eager cliff]

• having that reservation thingie that basically did that

[eager cliff]

imagine if we fail so the DSS crashes and we have to rebuilt it again

[plain bough]

[slim coral]

Spear

Fly free Lockheed Martin

[loud bison]

rip Tarsh

[plain bough]

Thats quite the defense HP

[eager cliff]

yeah thats 3x normal planets we aint doing that

[plain bough]

In other news, almost 12hrs have passed and we've nearly hit 20% of the terminid kill count

So theoretically by the time the planet before Gaellivare gets captured we should be done

[shy schooner]

Is this like a "We lose this but the DSS is fully operations and we'll get to witness the full firepower of a super station"? or are we just getting fucked again

[bleak patrol]

It's not where the DSS is stationed

[eager cliff]

Oh shit isnt the hub on Gallievare

[bleak patrol]

The hub is on Tarsh. Which is being attacked right now. And we are unbeliveably cooked

DSS is on Gallievare

[eager cliff]

Oh so we are fucked

[eager cliff]

they want us to lose the bot front

the bot attacks are made to distract us from the main objective - FUEL for the DSS , its all we need to make it operational

So we get the fuel and the DSS either jumps to Super Earth or somewhere safer just before we lose TARSH or shit , or it goes online and it fucks up the bots

[valid hedge]

it'd be easier to lose the planet then retake it i think

[bleak patrol]

Squashing bugs is only half of the MO, the other half is essentially making sure that bots don't take over the DSS

The current defense wasn't really impossible, but it would require literally everyone to be on Tarsh, which is both impossible to achieve and stupid. It was better to go into the defense with the goal of destroying as many bots as possible in order to weaken them than to expect a victory

After taking over Tarsh the bots will either attack Mastia or Lesath, and those defenses will also be very hard to deal with

I'm pretty sure the only manageable defense will be the Gaellivare itself, that is, if we keep fighting the bots off

[eager cliff]

if they are correct , then we turn on the DSS and we defend Galleivare itself using the DSS

it could give us a very big bonus %

[eager cliff]

Gotta love how the galaxy is burning all around us rn

Bots on one side attempting to destroy our DSS, and terminids breaking out of everywhere

[valid hedge]

the dss will save us

[bleak patrol]

Fun fact is that during the Tarsh defense Vernen Wells had 5% regen just so we don't take it back and do a funni

[valid hedge]

fuckin narrative ass shit

[bleak patrol]

I don't mind

i just want nuke

is it really so much to ask

[balmy spire]

Ooh i have bonelab, i should try this

Yeah as i expected , we just need to fuel the fucker

And then i bet the DSS goes online and it either fucks the Jet Brigade by wiping Galleivare or it FTL to Super Earth or shit to safety

[earnest stag]

Wake me up if we get the fuel and somehow the DSS activates immediately to fight the Jet Brigade

[bleak patrol]

We should get the fuel before the Mastia defense ends

[loud bison]

moves in 24 hours

yeah, we're gonna lose Mastia. hopefully Automatons stay there for the station

because its gonna be ass if they invade Gaellivare when it jumps to Mastia

[craggy cradle]

automatic hellpod optimization will be huge

[pale hollow]

It really needs to move every 12 hours instead of every 24 hours to be actually useful, maybe even every 8.

By the time it reaches a planet of particular note, the fighting is either going to be over or close to over.

[red jetty]

24 hours is def a little too long

and i did my part, i donated 10000, completely useless to me, req slips

[eager cliff]

hmmm wouldnt have been better if the bonuses just gave u a free strategem tho

like what if fires bombardments on its own?

hmm surely that doesnt suck

should just give every player on that planet like free orbital precision , free eagle etc

[tepid spear]

So from what i understood, eagle reduces enemy percentage when defending a planet?

pretty good when we get 5% missions again

[plain bough]

Just waiting for all the slots to be filled out with donations and the DSS move to Mastia to see it in action

[craggy cradle]

I'd like to guess that it's just a bad description -- if it's taken this long with arrowhead, it's probably not that bad

[plain bough]

Gas em all

[viral shadow]

gas against the bots?

[bleak patrol]

It works

It's corrosive

[eager cliff]

i mean the shit leaves in 7h to mastia

• fuck you all , the DSS should have been ready to throw hands already

we should have had free use of it on galleivare to see what we are spendign money on

fuck youuuu

[plain bough]

Definitely lackluster it wasn't already throwing hands at the Jet Brigade as a test fire experiment

But it should theoretically cancel the defense campaign when it moves to Mastia if what the writing seem to suggest

[eager cliff]

hopefully

[plain bough]

Now just waiting to see what "sporadic" orbital bombardments and eagle airstrikes look like when its active

[bleak patrol]

Us sending the DSS to Mastia is like that JoJo meme

Bots, who want to destroy the DSS: You're approaching me?
DSS: I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer

I still think that we should just Eagle Storm Gaellivare

[valid hedge]

exterminatus

[bleak patrol]

If the Orbital Blockade does just stop an already ongoing attack then sure, good, well done

But I don't feel like gambling on this one and Eagle Storm is a safer option imo

[heavy sinew]

nah fuck it, since bots bleed just release bloodtide on the planet

[pale hollow]

The implementation of the DSS voting system with the 24h timers is so fucking ass... Who thought it would be a good idea to have an extremely slow weapon that the community sends to planets that lost their relevance several hours ago was a good idea?

Super Democracy bureaucracy at it's finest

[bleak patrol]

[dusty zealot]

game too easy

[bleak patrol]

New challenge
Drop on Mastia and don't get hit by the orbital bombardment

[eager cliff]

[bleak patrol]

I mean, I had fun

For once I wasn't mad about dying to bullshit

Because I knew deep inside that everyone is suffering and it's their own fault

Also I got two free outposts and a side objective, can't complain

The DSS bombardment does it's best to not aim at the player, but you can't win with rng for too long

[valid hedge]

they obviously don't have the protection of democracy on their side

[bleak patrol]

I've managed to stand in one place for 10 minutes without getting hit

[valid hedge]

you'd probably still survive with democracy perk

coin flip but hey

[bleak patrol]

Ye

[valid hedge]

who doesn't love a good gamble

[bleak patrol]

In the end I did finish the op and had fun doing it

It was pure chaos

It needs to be tweaked, obviously, but it was fun (for me)

But there's a war on HD discord right now

[valid hedge]

sounds about right

[heavy sinew]

Hell na, yo ass tweakin jigsaw

[bleak patrol]

Do it

[tepid spear]

How does the bombing look

do you see stratagem markers or is it just crossfire over the whole map randomly

[eager cliff]

Basically this

Meteor strike but orbitals instrad with no marker

Its pretty lazy and bad

[light nymph]

not even a light on the ground like during Meteor Storm?

[eager cliff]

No, its basically the orbital

[tepid spear]

audio indicator like whistling?

[light nymph]

[eager cliff]

380he randomly on map

All the time

[tepid spear]

i mean i love my 380

[light nymph]

who the FUCK thought that was a good idea

[eager cliff]

Idk , should have just made the 380he free or shit

As a 5th strategem but with either longer cd or whatever

[tepid spear]

yeah something like that

[eager cliff]

Should be aplicabble to reddit as a whole

Very few like r/cats or shit are cancer free

[light nymph]

what about r/tittydrop

[eager cliff]

You havent seen r/dota or r/tarkov

[bleak patrol]

A barrage that lasts for a random amount of time (anywhere between a minute and forever) which targets the area around you (where you may or may not be hit) and it also may or may not offer some breaks in-between bombardments

I find it funny, definitely needs to be changed, but it's not as bad as most people say

[light nymph]

[eager cliff]

I mean ppl are also dissapointed the DSS is pretty underwhelming for the wait time

Rememebr we found this DSS back months ago

24hr cooldown sucks

Voting system is cool but i will expect only bug planets

Unless they tweak that

[bleak patrol]

The cooldown sucks, that's true

[eager cliff]

We went to Mastia yet the attack on Galleivare didnt stop, right?

[light nymph]

let the bug planets have the suicide station

[eager cliff]

Me who bring 4 orbitals anyway

[bleak patrol]

They (community) fucked up the donations and activated the barrage instead of the blockade and now they cry

I knew this would happen

[eager cliff]

Ah lol i thought

....we get all 3

There is only one at a time?

[bleak patrol]

Yes, and all 3 don't make sense anyway

Eagle Storm is purely a defensive action, while the barrage is purely offensive

[eager cliff]

Thats....dumb lol, i think we should have all 3 but they need tp be changed

Keep the liberation bonuses

But change the perks

[bleak patrol]

I mean, just reading the descriptions and effects of the bonuses, I knew it will not be all 3 at a time

Rather I just assumed that a correct effect will activate when needed, as in Eagles on Defense, barrage on Liberation, with blockade passively blocking attacks

[eager cliff]

@bleak patrol @light nymph @runic sentinel @tepid spear

[plain bough]

I see how it's a free for all with the DSS

[plain bough]

Someone didn't playtest enough on how the DSS will behave on the battlefield

also -1% decay rate is criminal when the DSS is active over the planet

[heavy sinew]

go do diffrent planet, go outside the map area for like 20 seconds and return to map you will have full DSS experience

[cloud sorrel]

Truly worth the wait

[heavy sinew]

bro stepped on hidden landmine

[cloud sorrel]

I thought we were gonna get special stragagems

But I was wrong

[heavy sinew]

wdym its not special? you get free "traitor" gamemode with it!

[plain bough]

Clearly we had to make it harder for ourselves, else the enemies of democracy don't stand a chance

[bleak patrol]

Meanwhile I only die to direct hits in my heavy explosive resistance armor

Which is the only kind of armor I wear for bots anyway

Seriously, from that distance I'd get ragdolled

I know because I was on Mastia

[dire igloo]

Vote to send the DSS to sony headquarters so they can experience arrowheads garbage programing skills

[tepid spear]

Bogdan just hating for the Sake of it

Anyway, did one op with the dss, fuck this shit

Killed maybe 5 enemies but my lvl 10 friend like 8 times

[eager cliff]

[tranquil zealot]

[plain bough]

very novice gunners, they were literally taken just a week ago

[tranquil zealot]

... i am amazed at arrowhead ... like every feature they implement iss kinda broken ... like its really amazing ... that they are consistently bad ...

[eager cliff]

i mean they give you free shield now lol

[bleak patrol]

Well, it did take out 2 outposts and an objective for me, plus it killed bots more often than me

I have to admit that the 20+ minutes of non-stop barrage looked terrifying at first, but after ~10 minutes of trying to wait it out (and not getting hit in the process) I just decided to screw it and let the democracy guide me. And I did reach the extract safely, so it wasn't that bad

Like, while I was waiting for the Pelican to appear, there was not a single shell that landed close enough to me to consider it a threat and the barrage did actually help me defend myself

[tepid spear]

On every Mission of the three

I got shelled and killed while typing in the evac code

Not gonna say its useless, but they definitely have to get better gunners

[bleak patrol]

You must've thought some bad things about the SE then

Joking aside

Yes, it is kind of, um, unfortunate when it decides to fuck you over

But I still do believe that it's not as bad as the community makes it out to be

[plain bough]

I think it should target large bases first before slowing moving to patrols that spawn in the distance, or at least some on-the-field ability to direct barrages either by the host or the team as a whole

[bleak patrol]

That would be neat

Or make it work like a mortar. It targets the enemies but if they get too close, you're fucked

[plain bough]

new feature for the map, ping here for concentrated barrages maybe

plop a CD timer for massive bombardments

[heavy sinew]

they skipped the tutorial 💀

[plain bough]

They didn't dive at the turrets moment

[bleak patrol]

Btw they changed the descriptions of both the bombardment and eagle storm

They both now state that they increase the reinforcements budget

So I guess the eagle storm is funni too

[plain bough]

I can imagine diving right into an enemy outpost and watch as an eagle airstrike targets the area

[bleak patrol]

To be honest, seeing how the bombardment works, do we even need to dive onto planets at this point, it looks like it could clear the planet by itself

I saw one person suggesting a change of the barrage from 380 to napalm

[plain bough]

It does got enough firepower to destroy a moon

[bleak patrol]

I see

I was in the blast zone of that firepower for some time

[plain bough]

1.5 million personnel and costs 1 billion super credits a day to operate at your service

[bleak patrol]

I find it beyond funny that the community sent DSS to Mastia in order to use the orbital blockade and insta-win the Gaell defense with it and instead they activated the bombardment and got blown up

And now they want to move it back to Gaell

They don't realize that they will most likely lose the defense because of that

[plain bough]

Would've thought it activates every available relevant strategem instead of only 1

[bleak patrol]

As inconvenient as the bombardment may be on Mastia, it also makes the liberation easier

[plain bough]

-1% tho

[bleak patrol]

If they move the DSS away, we lose that bonus

And currently

The predicted time to liberate is ~16h

The Gaell defense ends in ~17h

If they move the DSS back to Gaell we lose the bonus, which will make the liberation slower, which may end up in a loss

[plain bough]

We'll know if we win or not tomorrow

[bleak patrol]

Unless everyone goes Mastia now, which they won't do, because most people just see big Defend sign above Gaell

Another funny thing is that if we just focused on Gaell we would've defended it easily

It didn't look at it, but it was doable

And now if we don't liberate Mastia, we're cooked

Because it's too late to defend Gaell

Unless the Eagle Storm activates and it does end up slowing down the clankers

[tepid spear]

Im so hyped to see eagle storm

I wanted to see Swarms of them laying down hate with Strafe runs

[bleak patrol]

I already got used to being bombarded, how much worse can it get

[tepid spear]

Exactly

eagle storm only Equipped with 500kgs

starting to feel like 40k

[loud bison]

how is it on lower tiers though? imagine your first time playing and just getting bombarded to hell

[tepid spear]

Getting bombarded to hell? thats in the job description. in the job name even

[loud bison]

[valid hedge]

i haven't really been playing because i wanted strats from the fucking dss and you just get bombed instead it seems so idk why i would play lol, plus all the story bound losses are annoying when we can't fucking just get some victories snowballing cause the devs are dickheads.

[bleak patrol]

First of all, it wasn't a story bound loss

[valid hedge]

i don't mean this only

[bleak patrol]

Before DSS went back to Gaell it looked like they would liberate Mastia and stop the defense

And now that they sent it to DSS

And after I checked something in-game and not online

It looks like the defense is temporarily stopped

So by the time the MO ends, Gaell will be under our control

So it's a win

We were never meant to lose this one anyway

[valid hedge]

if only we could ever pull off gambits

[bleak patrol]

It's the community's fault

[valid hedge]

everytime

[bleak patrol]

Anyway, it seems like we got this one

And I still had fun with the raining shells, so ehh

I was protected by both the democracy and gambling addiction

[eager cliff]

aight so what the fuck is going on now

we moved back to galleivare which is almost lost

what are we doing

6 AND 7 DAYS

WHAT IS THIS, CLASH OF CLANS /

what the fuck is this

[median trellis]

[plain bough]

So we've abandoned Mastia to defend Gaellivare, while not being able to take either now lol

[loud bison]

it is what it is

[pale hollow]

I swear the existence of the DSS has unironically made Helldivers 2 worse

[eager cliff]

its definetely underwhelming and poorly implemented

[valid hedge]

all it needed was to be special strats

idk how they can just fuck it up so poorly

[dire igloo]

1 sentence

Developers owned by sony

[eager cliff]

I think this has nothing to do with it

This is pure Arrowhead brain gymnastics once more

Same as it was with the Nerf Saga

Concord
I rest my case

[eager cliff]

Arrowhead didnt work on Concord

So you rest ur case on what

Arrowhead does Helldivers , Sony just publishes it

So...

[dire igloo]

Nah im trolling but im glad the developers are doing shit updates just shows me that I should be glad I cant buy the game where I live

[plain bough]

Just assume anything new is gonna be shit on release for the most part now lol

[dire igloo]

What im wondering is how were they stupid enough not to code in a part where the bombs dont fall on the players heads

Or in the range around the player where it can damage/kill them

It just looks lazy

[eager cliff]

Aight so , the way that barrage works

It drops AROUND the helldivers technically in like a circle

And it moves with you

Ok this is the nice part right ?

Well , it seems it's only centered around one helldiver or shit , so if u guys split up

Then yeah you basically run in that circle of bombardments

It's just terribly made , they dont even show on map

[dire igloo]

And wait people had to like fight on a certain planet or whatever to build this horrible feature

[eager cliff]

And it happens constantly to the point where u can even grow deaf and get motion sickness cause all of the ground shakes non stop

for the whole goddamn game

every game on that planet

cock

[dire igloo]

These devs suck Ill just play my silly dwarf game

[eager cliff]

This was definetely a rushed feature , you can see they started working on the actual DSS recently lol

and the 7d cooldown is the cherry on top , the DSS is a fucking useless piece of shit lol

Use it once a week ? lol

OH MAN , I GOTTA BOOK WEDNESDAY FOR MY FREE DAY THE DSS COMES ONLINE OMG DONT WANNA MISS THAT

[plain bough]

Welp, we got more time for potential disappointment next week

including Stalker 2

[eager cliff]

Shut up man im rly holding it rn to preorder

Cause i want to play the game but i rly want it to be worth it

[plain bough]

patience my gooner

[eager cliff]

Im VERY BORED

i want smth good to play

pls

[plain bough]

wait till the performance reviews come out first

[eager cliff]

Yeah i will

No point in pre ordering now

I will watch Skom stream it

Chad took his whole week off to stream Stalker 2

[plain bough]

If it does run fine I'll get it myself as well, gonna collect all the shinies in the zone

[eager cliff]

REAL

I got a 4070 and 5700x3d , thought im good for now ngl , then i saw the specs

Bruh

It better run well fuck this

[plain bough]

My specs are a bit behind for this but should be doable

[tepid spear]

I guess the host

Because my friend who was in my lobby got bombed by it 10 times and i got bombed like 3 times

[dire igloo]

All the benchmarks were apparently ran with upscaling as well

Which is like miserable

[earnest stag]

They say 60 frames on medium settings with my literal setup

I7-9700k and 2080 Super

if its not stable 60 frames il be ultra pissed

WITHOUT DLLS obviously

[dire igloo]

Yea ur gonna be ultra pissed be prepared

[earnest stag]

You be prepared xD

Also i will probably watch the old Man stream it too

[heavy sinew]

I'll purge nurgle's filth in the name of god emperor of mankind

The unreal engine 5 stuttering on PC is main feature bro

[plain bough]

That's alot of eagles

[tepid spear]

Thats exactly how i wanted it to be

[plain bough]

still no review bomb cape

[pale hollow]

Still banned in a shit ton of countries

[plain bough]

Well at least Eagle Storm is pretty decent, also nice visual effect with all the Eagles flying about in the sky

[heavy sinew]

you can see them leave DSS when on super destroyer

[heavy sinew]

they bombed us instead

[bleak patrol]

I would even say that it's busted, seeing how it basically stopped the defense campaign on Gaell

We just need to see how the blockade actually works

[plain bough]

Lol immediately the votes wanna go to Acamar while we still have the Jet brigade on Gaellivare

[bleak patrol]

I'm pretty sure they want to both
1 - "annoy" bugdivers with the DSS shenanigans
2- move it to a safe spot

In theory we don't need the DSS to protect Gaell anymore, but we need everyone on Mastia

Unless this is true

[plain bough]

the eagle storm halts the progress indefinitely for another 10hrs

then it takes another 8hrs for automatons to take the planet

our current rate shows we'll win gaellivare in 17hrs

[bleak patrol]

We had ~80% liberation rate on Mastia and everyone left

[plain bough]

We should've stuck to Mastia

[bleak patrol]

Monkey see DSS move, Monkey go to DSS

The game even told everyone that liberating Mastia stops the attack

So the "hurr durr people are not in discord so they don't know" is no longer a valid argument

Turns out, people are just regarded

[plain bough]

Perfect for being helldivers, only jumping into the frying pan

[bleak patrol]

Lore accurate Helldivers

[plain bough]

AH might as well take control as Super Earth High Command and just direct with a big neon sign where helldivers should focus for gambits

[heavy sinew]

eagles did come in clutch when I was chased by 3 hulks ngl

[plain bough]

those strafing runs are pretty accurate ngl

too accurate maybe when the enemies are near you lol

[raw folio]

||Damn we really are cosplaying vietnam with the "we were soldiers" moments.||

[bleak patrol]

Orbital Bombardment being a little bit too intense
"Man, this thing is shit, burn the devs"
Eagle Storm being perfecly fine and working
"Man, this thing is shit, burn the devs"

your supposed to die by the DSS CAUSE LOREEEEEEEEEEEE

[eager cliff]

Ughhh dumb

[bleak patrol]

I'm not really sure why people make the "lore" argument tho

We are expendable, but not that expendable

[earnest stag]

Because thats why we cant have nice shit. Muhhh lore and realism

[bleak patrol]

No

[earnest stag]

i remember their reason for the rocket turret not deserving more ammo was because "it just cant hold more visualy"

[bleak patrol]

That's not really a bad reason

[earnest stag]

It could if it had a fancy reload animation

like,rockets in the back getting loaded up front and such

[eager cliff]

pretty sure it has now , you can see the box under it reload the gun

[earnest stag]

there it is

[bleak patrol]

I'll be honest, I don't really feel like talking with you about anything Laff, so I will just leave

[plain bough]

Illuminate? Never heard of it

[tired pilot]

because they're from hd1 newbie

[bleak patrol]

Do we need a new faction? It seems to me that we can perfectly fuck ourselves up without the help of another enemy faction

[bleak patrol]

In short
Many weapons got buffed, enemies got nerfed, the collective IQ of the playerbase also got nerfed somehow, but the game is fun

[tired pilot]

my first game back, racist black guy kicked me for stealing his shield pack

[bleak patrol]

That's the playerbase part I mentioned

You can now kill basically everything with the revolver

(It is stupid, but worth mentioning)

[tired pilot]

SO ITS POG NOW!?!?!?!!

YIPPPEEEEE

[plain bough]

Supposedly new stuff coming tomorrow, we'll see if theres a sizable update

[bleak patrol]

I don't really like it to be honest

[tired pilot]

meh thats what someone with no style would say

[bleak patrol]

You misunderstood and I'm not surprised in the slightest

Senator is cool and you can even spin it on command, the issue is that it's too strong and there's really no reason to use anything else because of that

Like, what's the point on using the space Deagle with medium armor penetration when you can just use the Senator with heavy armor penetration

[plain bough]

I use the Senator for the cool factor, Verdict would be more of a convenient weapon to use

[bleak patrol]

I use Verdict because it's the space Deagle and it has medium armor pen

Meaning that I can't just switch to my sidearm and delete whatever is in front of me, if it's too big I still have to use my support weapon

[craggy cradle]

genuinely got me tweaking

[bleak patrol]

Elden Ring should not be there

They changed the rules specifically to let it be nominated and it's fucking disgusting

[sharp kindle]

why cuz its a dlc ?

[bleak patrol]

Yes

If they want to reward DLCs, they should add a new category

[red jetty]

i need to try balatro

ive heard nothing but amazing things

[sharp kindle]

You poles started this

[bleak patrol]

Don't care

[sharp kindle]

[bleak patrol]

No DLCs should be allowed the GOTY title

[eager cliff]

i agree here

[bleak patrol]

W3 included

[eager cliff]

its simply how it is

yeah w3 won goty anyway

they didnt need bow

[craggy cradle]

Yeah that is true but personally I am just mad that Helldivers got snubbed. Arrowhead actually put together a masterpiece of gaming that deserves to go down in history. The fact that it wasn't even nominated above any of these is just insane to me

[fair robin]

ai generated missio s and coding

[fast spindle]

its gambling but even more awesome

[plain bough]

Snatching failure from the jaws of victory lol

[eager cliff]

dont think ppl care anymore , we activated the DSS and it was underwhelming af , until the next warbond or smth worthwhile , doubt ppl will care anymore again

[bleak patrol]

If they don't care they are traitors, shrimple as

Execute them and get to diving asap

[bleak patrol]

Bugdivers woke up and shifted the % towards themselves

Gaell had over 50% pop 12h ago

Also, don't forget about our "tactical brilliance"

[loud bison]

what making personal mission kill 6 chargers does to a mf

[heavy sinew]

Just look at the geralts smile and tell me you wouldn't give it an award too

[sharp kindle]

[heavy sinew]

Im just glad to not see Dragon age shitguard get nominated for GOTY

[bleak patrol]

The smile may deserve and award, but not a DLC

[fast spindle]

not really tbh

it was a good game but sony really fumbled GOTY for them

[craggy cradle]

I honestly don't think the sony controversy should be considered all that heavily. Like it sucked but I don't think it hurts the objective quality of the game itself. People also bring up balancing issues but Overwatch won it in 2016 and that has almost always been a bit of a mess for a competitive game so I don't see how it can be a huge issue.

People also bring up a numbers drop off but that is just to be expected with any big game

it's not like it ever died, and it's back in good swing again now, too

[fast spindle]

overwatch in 2016 is nothing like it was recently

it was actually a pretty enjoyable team shooter for the first couple years until greed set in

and people became toxic morons with no teamplay

[dire igloo]

Overwatch released in 2016

Thats when the game was at its best

Thats why it even qualified for game of the year

Less heroes meant less unbalanced bullshit

Oh wait frota said that already

Uh minor reading comprehension

The reason helldivers 2 didn't even get nominated is because the devs spammed it with bad changes, then the players despised the game which lead into months of articles about how bad the game is and how bad it fell off
Game awards pretty much only counts if your game had good or bad press

Not to mention they bent the rules

[fast spindle]

if we're rating helldivers 2 solely on release, it would make game awards but like cmon, you cant ignore what has been going on

rating a game solely off "how was it on release" is so stupid

[dire igloo]

Remaster/rework a dlc and fucking astro bot for game of the year

[fast spindle]

cbpk2077 is like an 8/10 game now and was 4/10 on release

[dire igloo]

They just fucking around

astro bot is pretty good

no joke

its like little big planet tier joyous fun

If wukong doesnt win goty then its just ass

Like the award show is ass

Horrible event horrible

[fast spindle]

wukon is so overrated

its a 6/10 soulslike

even dark souls 2 is better

[dire igloo]

Its not even a soulslike

Its a action game

[fast spindle]

it shares a bunch of soulslike features

its soulslike enough to call it one shorthand

[dire igloo]

Only ppl who have 0 clue abt it call it a soulslike

Lmao

[fast spindle]

[dire igloo]

The combat is legit so far from soulslike

[fast spindle]

calling it just an "action game" is so dumb

im calling it a soulslike i dont care

[dire igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/domgcat-donkeycat-gif-24380643

[fast spindle]

action game is such a fucking broad category its like just calling ur dog a mammal instead of a dog

[dire igloo]

You

[dire igloo]

A action game is basically arkham batman series

It shares more similarities combat wise to the arkham games than a soulslike

[fast spindle]

then call it a beat 'em up

[dire igloo]

If you want to compare it to a soulslike then just look at lies of p

[fast spindle]

thats more dsecriptive of the combat than "action"

[dire igloo]

Yea i didnt know how the genre is called that is my bad

[fast spindle]

even steam agrees

Helldivers is also a Souls-like
You die, then you go back and grab your stuff, then you die again, rinse and repeat

[valid hedge]

rock dweller

[viral shadow]

oh its a card game

explains why i never heard of it

[heavy sinew]

the fact that tales of kanzera zau got nominated for ANYTHING is mind boggingling, this shit had like 200player peak

whew almost lost my cool there

Balatro is actually big

So like yea

[sacred tapir]

i dared to

because i did

[light nymph]

I believe in you and I shall offer aid. In the form of a good night sleep, hope you live as well as I sleep

[sacred tapir]

i do have eagle strategems

[sacred tapir]

thanks i guess

[light nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/sidious-gif-18100940

[sacred tapir]

whats your favorite strategem set?

i like eagles for the fast response (like literally everyone)

[light nymph]

Incendiary orbital , 500kg , Mech (my beloved) , and a support weapon

[sacred tapir]

which weapon

[light nymph]

depends on the situation

[sacred tapir]

flamethrower sucks ass if you dont have the armor for it

[light nymph]

anything from the Stalwart(my beloved) to a Spear

[sacred tapir]

because i almost died 4 times with it when i picked it up

[light nymph]

how dare you speak such blasphemy at me

[sacred tapir]

i like the base mg more than the stalwart, it just works better on them when liberator isnt medium pen

[sacred tapir]

because its true, i dont see the hype when it takes a sec to shoot, and then i often almost kill myself

because the fire just obliterates you

nuh uh

thanks frota

[sacred tapir]

bro wtf

solo sucks

i go to extract and theres like 20 fucking thousand of them

and my mg is out of ammo

and all my strategems would just kill me in the crossfire

fucking christ

[fast spindle]

[sacred tapir]

[indigo osprey]

Quasar is my go to

I usually bring mounted HG, quasar, supply pack, and emancipator mech

For bugs

Bots get quasar, orbital laser, supply pack, and wild card

[runic sentinel]

@eager cliff

[eager cliff]

[pale hollow]

Amazing, the game crashed trying to launch 10/10 Helldivers experience

[bleak patrol]

I remember using the flamethrower to great success before the fire resistant armor was even a thing

If you use it when the target is literally touching your balls, that's a skill issue

[bleak patrol]

Jump Pack, Quasar, Point Strike and Eagle Rockets for bots
Jump Pack, GL, Orbital Railcannon and Napalm Barrage for bugs

And the weapons are
Counter Sniper/Halt/Reprimand + Verdict + Thermite for bots
Punisher/Halt/I.Breaker + Verdict + Impact Incendiary for bugs

Things like the Flamethrower sometimes appear in my loadout on bug missions too

And that is all for running solo, I get more experimental when I play with someone

[pale hollow]

Fun fact: one hour later when trying to shut the game down, I got a bluescreen for my troubles 11/10 would restart my PC again.

[sacred tapir]

I have like maybe one of those things

So im just kinda fucked as a cadet with the starter weapons

[bleak patrol]

Starter weapons are good tho

[sacred tapir]

not when a whole fucking colony is on your ass and youre new

like 200+ bugs and im extracting

and i have a machine gun thats out of ammo, a liberator and the pistol

[bleak patrol]

Doable

[sacred tapir]

not when youre bad at the game

like what should i have done?

i would love some tips to deal with hordes

[bleak patrol]

In terms of extraction, prepare beforehand

Drop in the resupply

And your support weapon

So you have a spare

If you run out of ammo on the current one you can just grab the new one, it's loaded

Check the map often, but not so often that it hinders your progress

You can see where the enemies come from on the map before you actually see them

[sacred tapir]

ok thats an idea

[red jetty]

My bot loadout is:

Recoilless
Eagle strafe
cluster bomb
walking barrage

Breaker / whatever light rifle i'm feeling
Deagle
HE or thermite

[sacred tapir]

i like that

i should have used that

thats why i died, the mg was out

[bleak patrol]

I have to admit that it may be a bit overwhelming at the beginning

[sacred tapir]

yeah i have like 7 hours

and im lvl 7 now if that helps

[bleak patrol]

But the starting loadout is good enough for the lower difficulties

[red jetty]

liberator and redeemer will be your go to for a long time

[sacred tapir]

how low is lower? like 5 down?

[sacred tapir]

redeemer is not my style

[red jetty]

something like that

[bleak patrol]

When do Chargers start appearing? 4?

[sacred tapir]

too much wasted ammo

[sacred tapir]

yeah

but theyre usually not bad

[bleak patrol]

Yeah

[sacred tapir]

i did complete a 5

with 3 randoms

[bleak patrol]

My personal advice on bugs, don't go above 5 for now

[sacred tapir]

and i tell you, even 1 person

would have helped

[bleak patrol]

6 introduces common Titans and Impalers

[sacred tapir]

like im talking would have made it so easy

[sacred tapir]

5 adds titans

atleast as an objective

[bleak patrol]

Yes, but they are rare

Impalers are also an objective on 5

[sacred tapir]

yeah but they are literally not as hard as i thought, just toss eagle airstrike on it

then it eats shit on 5

maybe on 6+ it tanks it

[red jetty]

once you get the recoilless rifle, any big bug is a pushover

[bleak patrol]

That's when you have like, one titan at a time

[sacred tapir]

also any tips for hordes on the go?

like large nests

i usually toss a strafe in there which clears the fluff out giving me time to close some holes

but sometimes it misses

[bleak patrol]

One thing that you need to remember is that there is a cooldown on bug breaches

[red jetty]

napalm airstrikes

[bleak patrol]

Oh yeah, Napalm works wonders

[sacred tapir]

and thats when you reload (in my case)

[bleak patrol]

What I usually do

Is I lure the hive out

Take care of them outside and make them call in the breach

So that once I'm done, they are on a cooldown

And during the cooldown, I close the holes

[sacred tapir]

ok so the breach is a new hole correct?

which makes them have like a 25 second window (ish im guessing) that you go toss nades in the holes

[bleak patrol]

Breach only happens when the bugs call it. You should be able to see one of them raise their head and start emitting some smoke-like thing

[sacred tapir]

ok like calling reinforcements

[bleak patrol]

If you kill the bug that does it before the smoke comes out, you can postpone it a bit

[sacred tapir]

got it

yeah i usually shoot the fucker

[bleak patrol]

But it doesn't get it on cooldown, it just changes the bug that will call it in

[sacred tapir]

yeah

also, is there anyway to reliably get team mates?

because i do have a buddy getting the game

but it will be a bit until hes ready

[bleak patrol]

So, you can set your game to public, so that randoms will be able to join. You can also send in the SOS beacon, but I never used it so I don't really know how it works

[sacred tapir]

it doesnt work that well ngl

the beacon sucks

[red jetty]

it increases your priority in the quickplay queue

[sacred tapir]

how set public

[bleak patrol]

And you can go to the HD2 discord and just ask there

Or ask here

[red jetty]

and if anyone is looking at the planet map it gives you a ping for the sos

[sacred tapir]

i could

[sacred tapir]

i mean im on borgus sector for bugs i think

the last planet is 0.05%

i got one other person now

i think im good

[bleak patrol]

The game does get much easier even if you only get one dude with you, so finding someone to play with is always a good idea

[sacred tapir]

doing a swarm one

[sacred tapir]

yeah

this might suck ngl lol

stuck in one place

[bleak patrol]

Good luck

If you'd ever want to know where to go to help the war effort, check out these sites
https://helldivers.io/

Otherwise, just dive anywhere you want

[sacred tapir]

punisher slaps

[bleak patrol]

It is pretty good

Imagine that when the game released, people disliked it a lot

[sacred tapir]

lol

its good because it stuns the medium ones

and it kills the small ones in 1-2

so i love it

[heavy sinew]

there's no shame in running away to despawn some enemies

[heavy sinew]

not untill there's 3 implaers and 2 titans on your ass when you're getting shellshocked by bile spewers

also pro tip, the bile titans and spewers puke counts as explosive so in theory (I haven't tested myself) fortified armor perk should let you tank more bile

[heavy sinew]

It was more of a support weapon on release, like I used it to not kill but get stalkers off my and team-mate's asses

[sacred tapir]

if you can even get away

the small ones are pretty fucking fast

[heavy sinew]

just run bro not that hard

[heavy sinew]

Shoot them then

you can restore stamina with stims by the way

[sacred tapir]

if i could without the bigger ones catching up

[sacred tapir]

unless you ran out because you used them

its been solved anyways

i just use the grenade launcher

[heavy sinew]

have you been on bot front yet?

[sacred tapir]

so i can run and reload

[sacred tapir]

not yet, why the fuck would i make my day worse when i have no solution for heavier armor

unless its a strategem

but those cant be your only option

[heavy sinew]

i recommend rebinding stratagem calling to arrow buttons

[sacred tapir]

i want senator first

[sacred tapir]

i did after that

i did both those things

[heavy sinew]

you want fucking anti-tank EVERYTHING when going bots

look how many warhammer ass dreadnoughts are in this picture

[sacred tapir]

i need the senator

it can get rid of hulks

unless its that many

then yes, the airstrike

[heavy sinew]

trust me, senator ain't gonna do shit when hulk is doing thug shaker and you miss every shot

[sacred tapir]

lmao

that is the funniest shit ever

[heavy sinew]

even laser cannon will do if you aim at its visor for like 2 seconds it gets destroyed

recoiless is a beast if you space yourself from the action

anti materiel rifle can 2 tap to visor too

[sacred tapir]

it should 1 tap imo

imma be 100%

[heavy sinew]

quasaar cannon + jetpack combo my beloved

[sacred tapir]

you have to sacrifice a good strategem space for a rifle that is good for backline bitches

[heavy sinew]

in free warbond you can get lib-penetrator it should help you deal with devastators since you should shoot them to their domes anyway, same for berserkers

[heavy sinew]

bro did NOT unlocked AMR's full potential

[sacred tapir]

no i did not

i dont use it

never tried it

because i dont like aiming

i like shooting

[heavy sinew]

you can 1 tap everything but hulks, tanks, and factory striders

[sacred tapir]

im off to fight bots now

this shit will suck

[heavy sinew]

same logic would go to shield generator, why should I waste good stratagem space for pussy passive players, you should replace it with another eagle strike

[heavy sinew]

how bro will come back (also I have deja vu)

[sacred tapir]

oh yeah

[heavy sinew]

go deploy on Vog Sojoh, it has DSS active and eagle storm be coming in clutch

Vog Sojoh? more like Mog Soyjock

[heavy sinew]

you'r first hulk scorcher experience be like :

[sacred tapir]

ok i joined closer to the end

and its only dif 6-7 i forgor

not helldive

[sacred tapir]

im there now

with 2 others

a lvl32 and a lvl16

[sacred tapir]

it wasnt too bad

autocannon carried

[heavy sinew]

unless its diff 10 and you have 2 strat jammers covering each other and detector tower nearby

I think my character saluted the wrong way

[sacred tapir]

oh boi i finally realized how bad the jammers are

im obviously not playing dif 10, im on 5

but still

[bleak patrol]

Jammers are often accompanied by a complementary fabricator which, when destroyed, destroys the jammer as well

And you can snipe fabricators from any range using the Spear, Recoilless or Quasar

You don't need to aim for the vents with these

[sacred tapir]

until they arent

then its hellbomb

which, why tf can the hellbomb go through, but my eagles cant?

[bleak patrol]

You disable the jammer as a part of the side task

You have to go to the jammer, use the console, do some > < ^ ^ v > and then you can use stratagems again

It's not just the hellbomb, all stratagems become accessible once again and in theory you don't need to destroy it after that, but you need to do this if you want to complete the side objective

However, if your Eagle still can't come in after you disable the jammer, there may be an AA active nearby

Which now that I think about it, I haven't seen in a while

[sacred tapir]

no i mean that the hellbomb can be use THROUGH a jammer

and the eagles cant

same with resupplies, sos beacons and reinforcing

[bleak patrol]

Never had that happen

[sacred tapir]

i have, like 6 times so far

also is napalm even worth using on bots?

considering they are metal id assume fire is less of a worry?

[bleak patrol]

Everything works on everything

[sacred tapir]

ok so napalm does burn bots

[bleak patrol]

Bots die to fire tornadoes so they will also die to napalm

[sacred tapir]

fire what-now?

[bleak patrol]

[sacred tapir]

oh cool

[heavy sinew]

Bro did NOT experienced homing fire tornadoes

[sacred tapir]

i been here 2 days

chill

im still stuck on breaker and peacemaker

for primary/secondary

i mean breaker is good, dont get me wrong

its ok up until atleast 7 i think

on bots

[bleak patrol]

All weapons are good always

[heavy sinew]

breaker is good for even 10

its not about the weapons its about the user (fuck you plasma punisher we're excluding you from this conversation)\

[bleak patrol]

Plasma Punisher is ok

It's just slightly more specialised and requires a bit more skill to use

[sacred tapir]

Well yeah unless youre using it on anything bigger than devastators

Hulks, striders and shit are what i keep an autocannon for

[bleak patrol]

That's what you should keep AC or other support weapons for

Unless you're using a Senator, you're not killing that Hulk

(Senator is a revolver which they decided to give heavy armor penetration for whatever reason)
