The new mission is fucking bullshit. How you are expected to defend a point whilst multiple bug breaches are happening literally right on top of AND friendly fire is active for you being able to destroy the point also? Fuck this fucking mission. All the shriekers appearing before extraction is pretty kino though.

Termicide Deployment 2 Electric Boogaloo
Last time, people figured out they could spam arc towers and weapons and smoke, because those wouldn't do friendly fire to the building.

I will squeal about your sordid Internet-presence. I will let everyone know of your shitposting about niggers and trannies, do you hear me?
I will contact your employer, and let them know of your dark activities on the World Wide Web. I will contact your family, and make them disavow you. Do you understand, you putrid farmer you?!

And then, we will hug, kiss and play some videogames together.

If you play on haz 7+ with randos the players are usually competent and even friendly and helpful.

I wouldn't mind having KF steam groups or whatever but the site has been so demonized and so many lawsuits have been flung it's better we all stay anonymous. Plus Sony will definitely hand over any information on you at the drop of a hat.
 
Fyi the dark fluid backpack function as a jump pack with greater power and shorter cooldown, but it won't help with the bullshit mission in any way.
 
So yeah.... this major order is doable with a pre-made (though even it is challenging with all the fucking holes in the ground and the crazy spawn rates) but it's an absolute cluster fuck in high level pubs.

We had success bringing ~3 support tier wave clear weapons (Flame Thrower, MGs, Grenade Launcher, Arc, etc.), several Guard Dogs (efficient wave clear is the key here) and LIMITED SPLASH heavy kill (orbital rail, rocket-pods). I think we also had a Quasar and in one run we had an AC turret that was useful (but you have to be careful it doesn't have line of fire onto the drill).

Having a couple people with stun grenades (toss 'em on close breaches and chargers) is also a good idea and bringing primaries that can deal with Shriekers is also well advised.

You just have to not get stuck in, keep moving from objective to objective. Drill, guard and then go. Use comms to call breaches and keep watch. Never strike on the drill. Only call the Fluid Backpacks you need at each drill site. Make sure you are using the free EMS mortars upon arriving at each dig site. Keep low w/ back to rocks on extract.

Ps. If those EMS Turrets aren't still free today we are going to be in a world of hurt.

Eyes open for pride shit kiwidivers. The game is currently stumbling and it's possible a retard thinks pride cosmetics would bring players back/in.
 
We still haven't gotten an update that addresses balance issues. Given all that's going on, I'm getting the vibe that this is less them fucking about and more Pilestedt really having to wrangle things.

Getting shit back on track is one thing, and shouldn't be an issue if you're the CEO and there's not problem individuals in your company. But constant meetings and having to shift CEO to someone else suggests there's problem individuals.

I would like to thank you for posting this. Because this got me curious so I looked it up.
Alexus hasn't made a post in the discord since May 8th. You know what else was on May 8th? This tweet.
But something else of note is also this reply, and Pilestedt's response.

Now this may be giga copium. But you know what is interesting about Alexus fucking everything up? As well as the nearly month long radio silence?
According to his linkedin, he's been working with Arrowhead since July of 2023. Why does any of what I've highlighted matter?

Well because if you've been employed somewhere for less than 2 years in Sweden, and you're fired, you legally have to be given a one month notice. Source

There is a very real chance that Alexus has gotten shitcanned. Especially since we've had it soft confirmed that apparently all he was doing was fucking with numbers on a spreadsheet and not playtesting.

I'm being a bit guarded on this one, cautiously optimistic. But This seems like a lot of good things lining up at once.

Are things looking up, bros? I've taken a long break from the game, busy with work, and I want to get back into it.

The only things that've happened are the new mech suit and the dark liquid mission. You haven't missed anything.
I've been taking a break too since polar patriots. Got completely sucked into V Rising. Excellent game.

With zero evidence to back the claim, I think pilestedt is taking the hatchet to the problem faggots and the reason I think that is because there hasn't been a peep about a new warbond or other content for a month. If that's true, I'd imagine whatever's in the pipeline has to be retooled. Previously, they've been quite vocal about what's coming at least in the short term where as now, they dropped the exo suit (which based on its performance, it's safe to say is a product of the previous balancing paradigm regardless of where it stands currently) and signed off. There's also the possibility that polar patriots and the new suit was the last drip of the content they had fleshed out from before release and any drought is just the result of them actually hunkering down on new content. That'd be my optimistic view at least.
 
Okay, I admit, it was pretty cool finishing up a Dark Fluid mission with some randoms, getting back to the ship, and the team getting the "Emergency FLT Jump" count down back to Super Earth to see a new Black Hole get formed. There was even some background conversation going on about how important the Super Cruiser was before the jump.
 
This is the last step before the Illuminate show up. I bet your bottom dollar the squids will co-release with that balance patch everyone's going nuts about, it'll have to be the masterstroke Arrowhead needs to gain their numbers again. If either, or even both fail to stick the landing, the game may well and truly die.

And to think this all happened because Sony got greedy. Plus that asshole Alexus.
 
I really enjoyed exiting the mission and getting the emergency FTL warning. Going back to witness the black hole is a really cool aesthetic. This is definitely where the Illuminate are going to come from. Maybe the dark fluid is a transmutative material, where in sufficient quantities it can accrete matter to turn it into a specific FTL travel-analogous energy by collapsing it from our dimension into some unknown dimension, the Illuminate one.

Basically in usual super earth fashion as has been shown thus far especially with the bugs, they solve the current problem with zero foresight and create a new one. Which it's basically just been an escalation with the Terminids:
-oh wow they make FTL fluid let's farm them
-dang we didn't breed out problem castes and they spread, let's use the Helldivers and set up a border with untested insecticide
-fuck, the TCS caused a supercolony, let's just destroy it with this reformatted alien tech
-(theoretical) well god dammit we got rid of the colony but left the front door open for the squid major fleet to show up.
 
Couple of updates:

Former CEO is now doing Lunch and Learns to try to right the ship and get the game back on track.

This is the face of a man barely holding in calling his Discord Admins/Balance crew every slur in the book for being fucking retards. Full thread here: https://x.com/ShamsJorjani/status/1798301402382627214

We're gonna be Catachan Jungle Fighters on the 13th.

Only question is who determines what Pelican-1 looks like.
