I'm not sure why people are surprised at Arrowhead being malicious with their buffs. They do this shit all the time, where they capitulate to fans and buff weak weapons, and then buff enemies to compensate, which nerfs the rest of the guns that didn't get buffed. Let us not forget how all weapons got a sway and ergonomics nerf at the same time weapon customization arrived. It's rote at this point.

I’m not surprised, every update is its own little Faustian pact.

I am pissed though.
 
I'm so frustrated and disappointed, man.
Helldivers 2 was golden around this time last year and could have developed into something that could've been remembered fondly for decades but they can't help but to fuck it all up and ruin it even after being given a golden ticket and multiple get out of jail free cards. And now I feel like its not incompetence or bad management at play here but its a malicious big fat fuck you middle finger to the players and after all the deception at play here I can't even feel generous enough to say its malice via proxy through bad management.

hes true....
 
It is so frustrating because I really do enjoy playing Helldivers, but dear god this studio is so fucking stupid. It's always band-aid fixes by putting tape on the leaking ship than fixing the actual hull of the ship. I am so fucking tired of this nonsense. It still ticks me off that they didn't change the Ultimatum, but instead they just buffed the leg armor of the Factory Striders so you can't oneshot them.
 
Glazers will say the Ultimatum ammo nerf was justified despite the fact it literally betrays an armor passive and supply booster and still had major downsides. Then the nerf which made it useless against jammers and detector towers because it made them "too easy" despite the fact the rocoiless can still one shot terminid towers. And that jammers are still sometimes impossible to complete.

I'm overall satisfied with the new patch but Alexus literally cannot help himself with being an actively malicious faggot. Ohdough is a grifter but he's also correct about the monkeypaw balancing.

If they really want their grunt fantasy then have a mission style where you get no resupplies or call-ins except for SEAF reinforcements and artillery. That actually could be neat. It's not like the SEAF troopers can't handle themselves to a degree, especially since they get one EAT per fireteam and they chuck grenades. Probably a misuse of Helldivers, but if they want to stick to lore then just replace the character model with the blue helmets they already have.
Then they can finally put in the IFV and the tanks to complete it.

Something like that actually got leaked with the newest patch. It looks pretty cool but knowing Arrowhead we're not going to be getting it for half a year minimum.
 
Stealth in this game is super esoteric and not really explained at all. Static enemies will not be able to see or hear you shooting at their buddies so long as you kill them in one shot if you are 100+ meters away (50+ if in scout armor). Patrols will notice you killing their buddies even if you do it from the other side of the map. Patrols, however, cannot see you even if you are within 5 meters of them, so long as you aren't sprinting or standing up (about 2m in the scout armor).

The suppressed weapons just make patrols and static enemies less likely to investigate nearby combat. And the ODST armor makes it so you can sprint closer to enemies and they can't hear you.

The only way I find stealth works is to just ignore enemies and portable hellbomb objectives.
 
While I cannot immediately confirm the veracity and/or heterosexuality of the images, earlier some screenshots were posted on 4chan's /vg/ which seem to show one or two new mission types as well as a new volcanic biome. One of these missions will see players collecting intelligence from Automaton bases while avoiding alarms. Stratagems and reinforcement will also have some restrictions. Another suggests a mode where players will seize Automaton facilities for Super Earth, rather than just blowing them up as usual. The stealth mode is likely the main purpose behind a change made to Automaton reinforcement in the latest patch, as well as the new suppressed weapons in the leaked warbond.

Looks cool, really like the idea of sneaking into Bot compounds... I also can't wait for them to be removed for a month a week after release! It's gonna take much more than this to bring people back, but at the same time people, especially retarded gamer niggercattle, are fickle and this minor addition will have people cheering and screaming "WE'RE SO BACK!"

Liberty Day cape won and sent out per the MO

Design is... a'ight. I mean they already kinda blew their load with the flag cape from the Ceremony warbond and the Super Earth cape, so I guess I can't be too mad. There's only so many ways you can make a blue cape with earth on it.

Does match the Blue Pre-Order Armor nicely.
 
Very recently started playing cause I've got a couple buddies who play. Ironically mostly done solo shit because they've been busy, but that's fine because I prefer to solo when I can/if it's an option. Gives me a chance to get the hang of things too.
Not particularly fun solo, yet, but still enjoyable. Like the way things handle, environments are sick as, customization being just head/body/cape is kinda lame but everything looks cool so whatever.

Having fun/10. Would be having lots of fun/10 if my faggot friends weren't busy.

It's a good ass game, the issues it's facing right now are just technical and dev communication-related.

Honestly I'd say just turn off crossplay in the settings to weed out consoleggers and then give queuing up with randoms a try. It's a lot of fun and people generally know how to work together pretty well. Dipshit teammates are only a real issue in like... 1 in 30 matches. Typically things balance out.

Given that you usually only need to do a couple of tasks for a mission to be successful, it's not too hard to carry a bad team to victory. Even extraction is optional. It may not be a glorious victory, but a W is a W.
