That guy is one of my favorite Helldivers commentators, and he's right on the money here. Arrowhead keeps shooting their foot off, and one of these days it's not going to grow back. They need to stop optimizing for balance and start optimizing for fun. And playtest any difficulty above 5. Shit, if i ran the studio, i would make every dev play a full operation first thing in the morning at a random diff between 6 and 10, just so they can see what the game's like. It's pretty clear the devs don't play their own game though.

Remember, these are same people who shipped an anticipated weapon (the Epoch) out of a warbond it is expected some users will shell out real money for, that fired totally off-center to the degree that it was actually useless. That took them almost 2 weeks to fix, when the fix in question was effectively just changing 2 values in an .ini somewhere in the game. Prior to the warbond releasing, nobody at Arrowhead:
Fired a single shot with it themselves,
Casually played a match with the Epoch,
or watched any of the playtesters use the Epoch and go "wait it shouldn't be firing shots perpendicular to the player's facing". (This is boldly assuming the playtesters--if they even have any--play the game either.) It's actually comical how bad Arrowhead is at maintaining this poor fucking game. It's such a shame, Helldivers 2 deserves so much more than this.

Weather on Hellmire is once again lovely as usual

So it looks like a bunch of you are still playing, is it any better now that they removed the burrower strain?

I have only played against gloombugs on Hellmire since then and I can report that the spore clouds on death are still annoying but very manageable, especially if you have the Coyote, a turret, and an orbital gas strike.

Haven't played many bug missions lately and I've been using the booster that increases the time between enemy encounter so it's more manageable, It seems to be less bad.

Which one of you niggers was this guy named Juicee_Kiwi?

Edit: and yeah, certain planets are somewhat fucked performance wise, They need to take a month off from releasing warbonds and catch up, focusing on performance and balance feed-back.

Main bot MO planet was fucked with more frame drops and crashes. Hellmire was nice without having to waste stims every time a burrow warrior or dragonroach showed up.

Ok, still fucked then. Guess I’ll stick with schedule 1, warships and factorio until the Bannerlord expansion.

This game’s going back on the shelf for me. Hope you don’t mind if I still hang out in this thread though.

Yeah the bot planets are especially fucked with the frame drops. It's wild because afaik there isnt any new changes to the bots in the past update but here we are.

I saw someone claim that they had updated their sound engine during Into the Unjust, but I'm not sure how true it is. Regardless, bot planets have been unplayable since that patch.

They had to because I never had any audio issues until the update and a little before it. Before the title update drop the game was freezing for me because of audio, now it's completely fucked where sounds of Bots are coming from teammates, gunshots sound like they're directly to my left despite me being across the map from everyone else in the team, and audio generally sounding really choppy for seemingly no reason.

I'm happy it isn't just generic bug fart clouds. The galaxy is healing.



Honestly I've reached the point where I don't want to play anymore until they fix shit. The game is still fun and I have a great time even with randoms, but I can't stand the constant fucking frame drops, audio glitches and a random chance of bluescreening my PC every 20 matches.

I mean how long has the glitch where the game hardlocks your pc if you quit from the menu instead of Alt+F4ing been in the game? A year?

Fix your shit you fucking Swedes, I want to play your god damn game

Just uploading it here in case it gets removed later. Proof of the shite performance.
 
I REALLY wish I liked the Eruptor more than I actually do.

It hits like a dump truck, but the bolt action and 5 round magazine really limit it's usefulness in my eyes. Especially the reload. I can't tell you how many times I've taken aim at a distant target only to hear the click of an empty chamber. Absolutely maddening.

The AMR outshines it in many ways and should probably be a Primary instead of a Support Weapon.

A few updates ago they changed the smaller bots to have much better target tracking at mid and short range. In addition to making melee less viable for helldivers and friendly fire less consistent within automaton forces, this was specifically noted within the patchnotes as something that would effect performance going forward if i rememver right. Its probably that compounded with other unseen issues. If youre on PC you can set a bunch of the HUD to only appear when relevant or aiming which seems to help a little bit with frames if youve done everything else to improve without damaging visual quality.

Kinda wish for the halo warbond they just gave us the halo sniper rifle as a primary with AMR stats but the drawback of being 4 round magazines like in the game.
 
I feel like the slump we're in should've been avoided since I feel like the review bomb cape finding its way into the game was a show of lighthearted good faith by AH that after that debacle and them doing what they could to make the game better they convinced whomever, i guess Sony, to put it in to show as a reminder that the players hold power.

It seems they've forgotten this and they're trucking along again without addressing issues. Now that Into the Dragonroaches has dropped and they pulled the rupture strain to fix it "in five weeks" maybe they'll also look at other issues since they got bullied about the ruptures. I'm not holding my breath though. I still find the game fun even now but I haven't had to deal with roaches since Oshaune and the performance is something I've already dealt with before even if it's unacceptable. I'm trying not to cope but I still find the game playable even with shaky 30-40 fps drops, although I did have it hang during bots once.
 
Yeah, Mintoria has my game freezing for a few seconds every few minutes and some of the console players are having their games crash, this is bad.
