The state of AH when the news of a good patch is met with disbelief and skepticism. That's how you know the retard swedes burned up all the easy good will from the game launch.
There’s literally a Reddit post from a few hours ago from a guy making up people complaining about the patch even though there’s literally none even on twitter (and I follow Helldiver Xitters that would shit a brick of AH made even a mild fuck up) and then proceeds to complain about there’s no complaining when the others rightfully call him retarded in the comments.
FRV Hilux edition with rapid fire autocannon and a decent ammo reserve. It would be so easy you fucking swedes. Make Gustavus Adolphus proud and let me and a friend do a frontal cavalry charge firing flak rounds at a horde of bugs.
Edit: Helldivers 2 has done more to increase racism against swedes than Minnesota despite Minnesota stealing way more federal taxpayer money. How impressive.
Okay, as unhappy as I am with AH right now, I'll give them that the update doesn't seem to have anything that immediately stands out as retarded. Besides things that are just them fixing shit that they broke (vehicles, sentries, and the ballistic shield), it looks like they made a few good changes. Vox Engines are less stupid, chargers are supposed to be less agile but now slightly faster, and a lot of the grenades got increased capacities for some reason.
Not sure why they didn't just undo the 5000 enemy buffs that made every durable thing in the game useless, these morons have to realize they're stacking bandages on top of bandages at this point, right? The only reason they changed the chargers was because of their secret buff in a previous update that made them recover from charging quicker, because fuck anyone using a non-antitank support weapon who relies on shooting the charger's weak spot when it's recovering
"Some enemies have received increased armor penetration values so they can deal with the vehicles, but not all."
"To compensate for this, charge speed has been slightly increased (8->9m/s)"

To nophono's surprise, the "too many changes to list" that Arrowhead mentioned was dozens of buffs to enemy armor penetration to "balance out" the buffs to vehicle armor

Supply FRV has been unlocked only for players who logged in during the new campaign. Devs have promised it will return "at a later date". They said the same thing for the pre-order armor sets and those have not been brought back, same with the Killzone stuff taking a year to come back. This is FOMO, yet the glazers on reddit are still defending it, because of course they are.
At the very least I think you just have to log in right? For the cape that worked for me. I didn't do anything I looked around my super destroyer and logged off.

They need to be much more clear that they want to get asses in seats with stuff like this while Sony is breathing down their neck as this game is the sole survivor of their live service/Bungie acquisition debacle. They didn't even make it clear if we have to complete the major order to get the hyena or if we just have to log in during the major order(s?). And if they cuck us from the Hyena because of inscrutable bullshit I will wish the devs ten thousand Islamic IED attacks.
Didn't they change it awhile ago where you have to complete at least one operation to get the rewards from major orders? They saw how people were just logging in for shit and changed it so you actually have to play to earn the rewards unless if they changed it again recently. I would assume it would be the same for the campaign feature.

If Sony really didn't have their heads completely up there ass they would have a whole team like a year ago figuring out a way to make HD2 engine their in-house engine like Capcom does with the RE Engine. Its been discontinued so it can't be that expensive to get the rights.
Sure as hell beats everything being made in Unity and Unreal.

They definitely need to make it more clear. I had no clue that they even added anything new to the game because they didn't bother to put an announcement on steam about it.

Why do this? Did the enemy NPCs become sentient and send emails to the lazy swedes? All they need to do is make the game about blowing up hordes of enemies a fun power fantasy for the players. No one gives a shit about 'balance' in a PvE game.

It's because a game for everyone is a game for no one
Even recently the devs have referred to Helldivers as a milsim or hardcore game which it obviously isn't, but they're so ideologically captured by their retarded slogan that the entire company acts like they have fucking psychosis. They think if they say something enough times it becomes true. They literally think they can will Helldivers into being a hardcore shooter.
The reason Arrowhead constantly makes retarded out-of-touch decisions is because they hate the idea of their game being widely accessible, casual fun, since their company was founded on the principle that casual games are slop, but because Helldivers was such an accidentally overwhelmingly massive success they can't make a 180 like they tried on launch or the playerbase disappears and the game gets review-bombed.
They wouldn't care about this if not for the fact that Sony, unlike Arrowhead, releases games with the intent of making money. Reviewbombs are literally the only thing keeping the game alive. When the game fell to 19% positive on Steam Sony called the CEO directly and he had to explain what they were going to do to make it right.
My schizo conspiracy theory is that Arrowhead purposely inserts these hidden sweeping nerfs into every update with the hope that they can hemorrhage players slowly instead of all at once to avoid Sony's wrath by making it look like the game just died naturally. This would explain why Arrowhead and many of its employees are so actively hostile to the playerbase, it's not that they balance LIKE they hate us, they unironically, without any exaggeration, genuinely do fucking hate you and want you to stop playing if you don't agree with their vision for the game. They view the majority of the playerbase as a wall preventing them from achieving their vision for the game. This is why every now and again the mask slips and you get shit like this:
Why does everything Arrowhead does seem to be the exact inverse opposite of what they should be doing? Because Helldivers and the people who play it are the exact inverse opposite of what Arrowhead wants to have. They don't care what you want, they think you're a clown who just wants casual slop for plebs. You could never recognize the merits of their refined hardcore "Arma and Tarkov inspired" milsim. They're so incomprehensibly incompetent they stumbled their way into critical acclaim and are doing everything they can to stumble out of it. They will never admit that their philosophy is utterly retarded nonsense which is why Helldivers will never be allowed to just be a good game. Eventually they will kill it and they will be content.
