I'll be honest, I didn't want to help with defending SE cause squids are my least liked front, but the city maps made up for it

i find it bizarre u would prefer the new maps...
so much less variety

only things i can really praise are civvies and seaf soldiers
and the LOL when a stingray smacks into a skyscraper
eager cliff
i like the urban maps but i can see them being repetitive af especially since for weeks we been fighting the illuminate
also i would appreciate if there are less cars on the main road so i could drive the buggy
inside the city
but oh well
plucky lion
one thing that i would love (and would likely tank performance) is if we got a car destruction overhaul. let is blow parts off with MGs and completely blow them to bits with explosives
eager cliff
Like i get it for Urban areas as people got caught by surprise
But on Super Earth why are there cars on the roads lol , they got the invasion warning a week ago , there shouldnt be any except military vehicles and shit

when u put ur MG turret down and the flimsy roof of a car blocks half its bullets it's just ugh....

overall the sample / SC / valuable farm on SE is dogshit

idk if the controlled media would really issue an invasion warning. half the sat...
no no , they specifically say they were preparing SE for invasion while we held them off on the 3 planets
and every civilian able was helping with defences
muted fossil
yeah but thats what I mean
they told us that, they've also told us that the bots were gone for good and the squids were dead, 3 times
plucky lion
yeah i would expect that us helldivers get told a lot of stuff the civvies dont
eager cliff
eh maybe i guess but still i find it dumb
no
nonono
your theory fails because
it was on the news
plucky lion
but yes it would be dumb to just not tell them about the invasion
muted fossil
we also get told stuff thats just not true for the whole image of the fascism parody
eager cliff
they talk on the news that the helldivers are holding up the planets
while SE gets on defence
they actually made a news segment
muted fossil
it was on the news
the news on our SD's yeah
eager cliff
i think its too much of a stretch to say its only broadcasted on our destroyer
muted fossil
my headcanon on this is that they told us what they're doing, and its possible that they were just like "dw everyone, the Helldivers are winning"
eager cliff
however i agree that the tone that the news are made , are ofc to not make panic
cause only now Koretta Kelly or whatever her name is , the news lady , sounds really terrified , when they invaded SE itself
muted fossil
yeah, I'm also not trying to say I'm right on this, just that I can easily believe they didnt actually warn anyone
eager cliff

The small detail I've liked the most, is our ships dont play Brasch tactics anymore

why did SUper Earth not apply Super Martial Law or whatever and call every citisen to arms regardless
Cause like, we are a military species , that is certain with the way we are portrayed
muted fossil
why did SUper Earth not apply Super Martial Law or whatever and call every citis...
this one is technically "easy" to answer, in that only Class A or Super Citizens exempt from service live on earth
eager cliff
You would think they made a constitutional law where every citisen is obliged to grab arms and defend the planet if needs be
plucky lion
why did SUper Earth not apply Super Martial Law or whatever and call every citis...
this is the real question. after all we know they all have their constitution rifles

if you speak to the shipmaster, she reveals that no one on the super destroyer is from earth

yeah so apparently the SEAF are not or at least not most of them , but the Shipmaster on the Destroyer says she was never on SE

oh for sure, its incredibly on brand, and even more for SE with all the satire on dictatorships and the like to still have "offworlders" doing the dying for the Super Citizens

oh yeah like the Helldivers are actually barely trained young adults mostly that got brainwashed into thinking they are the best

not as great as recoilless but the spammability and ability to easily share them with squad mates should not be underestimated

they fixed the spear 3 weeks later and then it crashed the game

it was funny
people thought it crashed only their game then they realised it crashed the whole lobby

because half the fun was figuring out combos that worked with your team
a lot of them had a specific niche
graceful compass
That too
muted fossil
and a lot of people dont want to have to rely on a team and disliked that
railgun + breaker + shield was the proof that 4 people would rather drop in with generalist loadouts than trust someoen to bring AT that isnt them
graceful compass
Not trusting randoms is kind of a constant with any game tbf
plucky lion
and a lot of people dont want to have to rely on a team and disliked that
this is why i actually like it when i randomly join a chinese match. they always stick together lol

I don’t like playing randoms because people just split up and cover the map
So if I have something I’m messing with and don’t have a perfect solo loadout I am fucked

Not trusting randoms is kind of a constant with any game tbf
not trusting randoms is fine, but its a stretch to say the niches designed for teamplay were unusable because people didnt wanna swap stuff around with their friends :P

If you cant kill something, just run around it until someone can
graceful compass
That was the core of the problem
eager cliff
yeah i play for fun usually if the team sucks i just disconnect
but like, they would have to really suck
like actually lose all reinforcements in 10 minutes or shit
plucky lion
If you cant kill something, just run around it until someone can
exactly. you can run away from most of your problems in this game unlike real life XD
muted fossil
That was the core of the problem
i dont really agree but I did spend enough time trying tons of different combos to the point where I had it all figured out
I was actually really sad about the buff, cause all the learning switched to "just stick a thermite on it and call it a day"
graceful compass
I just used scorcher for everything once I got that, but there were genuinely not many good options for anything back then
plucky lion
thermites really do simplify loadout design
graceful compass
I don’t really like thermites all that much
eager cliff
yeah thermites are a must on at least one or two
eager cliff
maybe limiting it to only 2 instead would be a deserved
eager cliff

their damage number is just bonkers

when people insisted the game was unplayable without the flamethrower ignoring armor
graceful compass
What
muted fossil
and then on like 9/10 bug dives no one had the flamethrower because it was all Eats and Auto-cannons
muted fossil
What
leading up to the buffs, people on reddit and discords were claiming that the only way to finish diff 10 bugs was with the flamethrower, because it had a bug where it didnt get impacted by armor, so it did straight hp damage to everything
graceful compass
Oh this was before that big fire buff?
plucky lion
flamethrower just never felt as practical vs the bugs as i hoped because so many things would run thru the fire and hit me anyway
muted fossil
except if you were playing, barely anyone brought the flamer, because nothing was impossible to kill from a distance anyway
Like it did shred the bugs nicely
but you dont want to be in hunter leap range
graceful compass
I think things should not want to walk into napalm
Like how using the flame weapons again the flying bugs, they back off
muted fossil
so you had arm chair tacticians telling you that you must be using the flame thrower if you're actually winning your diff 10's
muted fossil
the only dangerous enemy in this whole ass game are bile spewers

at least they were changed to acid damage from explosive damage
so now you can use the chem armor for more than just your team
graceful compass
What does that mean
plucky lion
predator stalkers fuck people up pretty good too without needing a whole lot of them, but part of that is because they always seem to show up in situations where u cant see shit to begin with
graceful compass
Oh that’s lame I liked getting DR from fortified
muted fossil
What does that mean
bile was so dangerous initially because it was explosion damage
graceful compass
Was that applied differently than acid or whatever
muted fossil
Oh that’s lame I liked getting DR from fortified
you're still getting it, the only difference is if you used to wear explosive resist armor you could occasionally tank bile, now you need to wear chem armor to do it
muted fossil
Fortified is the health boost no?
muted fossil
well yeah, then you've lost it
but I mean, the biggest source of explosive damage on the fronts remains your team
graceful compass
What about the nursing spewer mortars
muted fossil
so its never bad armor to wear

I love tanking literally everything and just getting launched with it on
plucky lion
What about the nursing spewer mortars
when these things reach big enough numbers they are TERRIBLE
graceful compass
Evil
muted fossil
none mortar
graceful compass
Damn fortified is not great on bugs good to know
graceful compass
Isn’t it only good against zap towers and the CQC attack from 3 legs
plucky lion
in any case if u want to survive the stupidity if ur teammates u can't beat democracy protects. nothing quite like tanking a 500kg to the face
plucky lion
oh shit overseers do arc damage?!
muted fossil
this forgets the tesla towers, the watchers, and some of the damage from the planes as well
muted fossil
arc damage covers energy damage
plucky lion
wait so that means that armor is amazing vs illuminate
muted fossil
overseers deal "plasma" damage, and tesla's deal lightning
both get affected by the arc resist armor
graceful compass
What the FUck.
muted fossil
yeah you get a 95% damage resist
people just dont use it
you can tank shit for ages
plucky lion
ok so arrowhead didnt do a good job of making it clear what damage counts as what lol
muted fossil
tbf, I think they kinda forgot about the arc armors
plucky lion
i never evr would have thought their plasma staffs could be mitigated by an armor that is supposed to reduce electrical damage
muted fossil
well the guy hitting you with the staff deals physical damage
the bullets are energy
graceful compass
well the guy hitting you with the staff deals physical damage
Fuck that guy in particular
Getting okizeme ran on me in helldivers bro
muted fossil
like how the bots deal "laser" damage with bullets and "physical" damage with their melee's
the helghast armor is unironically one of the best armors in the game
graceful compass
I don’t know about all that
muted fossil
Only thing it doesnt cover you from is your teams nades
plucky lion
the helghast armor is unironically one of the best armors in the game
yep even though im using light armor i find my survivability is as good as in medium armor, or better in some situations
muted fossil
but also, this is meant to protect you from your team more than the enemy
like bots use fire, squids use lightning, bugs use acid/gas
so you can wear the suits that protect 95% and 70% instead of 50%
you know where you're dropping
graceful compass
Acclimated is a generalist perk in a game were you fight against focused elements
muted fossil
its the "my team loves to friendly fire, and they also love all the colours of the rainbow" armor
graceful compass
If acclimated had a little extra perk or chopped like 25% explosive dmg that would be cool
plucky lion
agame where ur enemy is trying to kill u with energy damage while ur teammates kill you with fire and gas XD
graceful compass
Too bad you can’t get the medium armor version anymore
Thanks crossover bullshit with no gameplay alternative
plucky lion
i really wanted the helgast AR 😦
muted fossil
I got the first wave stuff cause I love killzone
and I dont use any of it
except the wasp, which we all got
graceful compass
i really wanted the helgast AR 😦
I rarely use it, it’s basically inferior to the base liberator in every single way
I got most of it but skipped the armor because the passive is shit
muted fossil
I find it better than the base libbie, but before weapon customization
now I can make my guns fill the niche better
plucky lion
yeah i was seeing people say it is better than the liberator
but now with customization that probably isnt true
graceful compass
It was a libbie sidegrade,

the average difficulty operation completed successfuly in HD1 is 4.8
out of the 15 they have
graceful compass
That game was and is way harder than 2 ever will be in a way that 2 can’t
muted fossil
but that was also kinda the point. You have the like first 5 difficulties that make up easy to normal
and everything above 5 was just for bragging rights really
completing a diff 15 was like "I am better than you and I have receipts" but thats it
plucky lion
while i liked a lot of what they did with the buff divers patches, i feel like we are now lacking a proper high end difficulty that feels impossible for the average player
graceful compass

tihs is my feeling as well. We laugh when levels 20's drop into Super Helldive with us
but the fact they can make it there is telling

I've had to teahc people how to do terminals in diff 10
graceful compass
First 5 difficulties aren’t real
muted fossil
thats only speaking of the absolute fastest path
earnest stag
i dont even know if i got super helldive unlocked lol
muted fossil
First 5 difficulties aren’t real
yeah but you gotta do the win to move up
muted fossil
like you can get carried so hard thanks to buffdivers meeting good players
graceful compass
I’ve actually played mostly solo or duo in this game
Rarely more than that and rarely with randoms
muted fossil
duo's is 80% of my time in it
graceful compass
Duos are so fucking fun
plucky lion
if i were AH i would add in difficulty levels past 10 to give the hardcore players the challenge they want while keeping things as they are for everyone that likes things now
muted fossil
before buff I would run the chaff clear and my duo would run the AT
graceful compass
Diff 7-10 can be very challenging with only two people
muted fossil
after buff we just run whatever
graceful compass
But mostly because we just use whatever we feel like
muted fossil
yeah exactly
you dont feel the need to bring that good loadout you've tweaked and practised on
plucky lion
But mostly because we just use whatever we feel like
yeah when u actually base ur loadouts on teamwork you can absolutely decimate anything thrown at you in short order
bleak patrol
I mostly play solo on D7-D8
muted fossil

I used to switch to my pistol frequently, and now I can carry a stim gun 24/7

I mostly play solo on D7-D8
plucky lion
like today i was doing super helldive bots with a guy using RR while i had the airburst. third guy was just spamming eagles and orbitals. we shut down bot drops as soon as they hit the ground the whole time like it was nothing
bleak patrol
I can go higher but I feel no need, D7-D8 is both challenging enough and chill enough for me to have fun
muted fossil
one of the most fun things you can do atm is use eagle strafes to kill stingray strafes
bleak patrol

plucky lion

bleak patrol
i really hope so because i have not shit myself in the slightest like i was told...
I dropped on SE thinking it would suck cause I don't really like the squids and it turned out to be the most fun I ever had on that front
plucky lion
i like fighting the squids. they make for a different fight compared to the others
bleak patrol
As a matter of fact, it would be the first time I had fun on squids except the first time I got into a rng car
plucky lion
kind of like fighting bots where i can stand and fight to some degree, but also kind of like bugs where a swarm is constantly threatening to force me to move
plucky lion
every FRV gangsta till the leviathan starts shootin
muted fossil
the leviathan and I have a personal grudge
they love shooting the arms of my mech off
bleak patrol
Don't use a mech, use your own arms
plucky lion
somehow it's simultaneously an enemy that i can ignore an and enemy that is super annoying
muted fossil
the mech kicks the shit out of the squids while its arms are on
you're practically immortal while it has ammo
on tripods and the lev can hurt you
plucky lion
yeah dual autocannon just DUNKS on squids faster than anything in the game
