Helldivers 2 - Hell is more diverse than ever as PlayStation's demographics continue to grow and change.

[Pigeon Enthusiast]

The more I hear about the evolving state of HD2, the more I am glad I basically dropped it around the time of the super earth siege because I was burnt out on how dogshit AH was at running things. Kinda regret even spending money on it to begin with, but I suppose I got a decent amount of playtime out of it for what I paid.

But I think the warning signs were there already when right out the gate, they kept defaulting to "nerf popular weapons into the ground" as a balancing measure because literally completely useless weapons weren't being used, while doing absolutely nothing to fix the latter fact. Anyone else "fondly" remember the Breaker S&P being unable to pop eggs?

Suddenly I feel vindicated for not touching this game and thus not associating myself with such massive faggots. Seriously every time I see what "fans" of HD2 are talking about, they are some of the most pathetic creatures on the planet, holy shit it was not this bad in HD1. Then again that game was far more niche.

who dox him and harass his employers

I'm just waiting for some trannies to twist it so they say it's us who harassed him

 

[Instant_Pot_User]

I like the game and I'm glad I've never ever read the reddit or official discord, just the modding discord for comedy fart noises when I call down orbital barrages braprrages

If they were playing Traveler or Settlers of Catan, something that required an entity exist outside of Online Fwends; they'd need to go find some actual people, learn to be tolerable, assimilate into the wider world around them and start growing.

Idk how it is where you are, but the tabletop players I've met are 80% of the time the most unwashed reddit freaks you can think of and they just cluster together. Occasionally you'll find some poor functional human with employment involved, but it's rare. You really gotta be picky or you'll get a bunch of trannies overrunning the group.

If you really wanna normiemax someone, get them into a team sport and the grass touching may actually help.

You need one to view nested comments or pages sometimes for whatever patchfix or thing it is you're trying to steal from 8 years ago. I have a SanctionedSuicide dot com account but its to maintain access not actually kill myself.

Sure bud, I know where I'm looking if you suddenly disappear though.

I tried HD again recently and found it both more difficult than i remember and also that it ran worse on my computer, to the point where it was sorta unpleasant to play. Having a shit computer and being bad at videogames are my fault, but it being worse now then when it launched is not.

 

[Core i7-3770K]

Judging from how rare it is for me to get teammates when playing pubs in HD2, I'm starting to think HD2 fans don't play their game either. They're kinda like Touhou fans in that regard.

I play on Xbox and while AH says they improved performance and such. That is a lie because earlier this week I was playing I crashed so hard that my Xbox had a E200 error code and I factory reset the fucking thing just to be able to use my Xbox again. That wasn’t fun

Haven't been keeping up with it, in fact I've ignored it purposefully, but performance is still a big issue that has gotten worse even with "the great optimizing." IIRC their shitty anti-cheat (which has a thread in the steam discussions that's one of the biggest threads I've ever seen on steam) helps cause some these issues and linux players as well as players who were able to run the game without the anti-cheat were able to have better performance.

They're kinda like Touhou fans in that regard.

I like how as soon as you mention Touhou you have someone with a Touhou avatar post right after you.

I want hundreds of bugs that all die to one hit to anything, supplemented by tougher enemies. Instead they can all pretty easily kill you and all take multiple shots. It's probably a game engine limitation but I'd enjoy it more if there was more going on.

They really should have taken the L4D/WWZ route with the bugs, those games (especially WWZ) prove its possible to have hundreds of bodies on screen at a time while also making it balanced and survivable. Seriously it's practically a time honored tradition to have bug enemies weak but swarm your ass, what you're describing about the route the game took doesn't sound fun, sounds like they saw the 2 Zerglings = 1 Marine and thought "what if we do the opposite?"

 

[Enter The Pooptrain]

Can actually speak to experience on this one. Once again bringing up my boomer MMO. Ultima Online recently had an official Discord made about 8 months ago, and the tone is VERY heavily policed to this toxic-positivity ass kissing thanks to the dogshit CM and mods (handpicked by Broadsword) who can't let anyone say a single bad thing about the game they've sunk-cost fallacied the last 25 years of their life over. Can't even mention the bot issue that never gets fucking fixed or barely acknowledged because "thats toxic" and "can lead to witch hunts". Anything even remotely negative "that belongs in feedback (that will largely be ignored), only positive vibes in general" or "this is a customer service issue, not allowed here".

Can you use other unofficial discords? Sure, but a game this old, with this few players, do you really have a choice if you want to be able to actually "play" the game (interact with potential teamates, set up trades, ect)? When theres an official Discord, its pretty much the same for any other multiplayer game, but its certainly much more prononuced in something with this limited of a player base.

Sure you can just not interact with it, but you're gimping your ability to do certain shit in game by doing so. Discord is a cancer that has become far too ubiquitous.

Whenever I get the urge to Everquest I think of having to interact with the mongloid that has been playing it for 27 years.

I no shit have an uncle whose like this. He is such an addict he ruined his own marriage and lost his house because he only wanted to play EverQuest.

He still does, but lives at his mom’s house while he’s in his 50s

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

AH is swedish, therefore euroscum, which means they hate their players

Who cares if you hate the players, do it for an hour lose, get good PR.

I still think it was worth buying it.
It was really fun for the first couple of months when the hype was still real.

That was until the developers decided to nerf weapons, buff enemies so that they can create more problems and then sell you the solutions in the forms of weapons and armor that you need buy if you don't want to spend the next 40 hours trying to grind the ingame money to buy the new stuff right when the new update comes around that forces you to have to use the new weapons that they sell.

At this point, in the age of live service gaming.
It seems that you will no longer be able to enjoy games indefinitely, it's more about buying the limited time that the game is still good before the playerbase or the developers ruin it.
It is now becoming a common cycle at this point.

 

[The Ugly One]

I still have fun with it. Orbital napalm is great! The trick is to never interact with the CoMmUnItY and treat it like a retarded timewaster instead of something that gives your life purpose.

Sorry for the autism but right to work means laws that prevent a company and union from having agreements that require employees to be members of the union. At will employment laws are when a company can fire in most cases without notice. Rate me late if some other autist already said it.

Has anyone remembered that the customer is always right in the matter of taste?

This is why almost every community except for this one is absolute garbage and glad I grew out of interacting with communities years ago.

I only post here and another forum.

 

[The Evil Midnight Bomber]

Depends on where you go, but most of the map 10 insist so bad, but it does restrict your loadouts alot. Light pen is considered a throw, and having 2-3 guys with the fatah habibi exploding pack makes bases super easy to take care of.

We used to clear the tunnel bug maps really easily, once everyone puts on the robot it makes the mission trivial in most instances. But evidently its a different exp when you got two other friends who are on board, if theres 2 retards brining shit to a level 10 theyre going to get smoked.

Yeah D10 on bots is basically Pick Eruptor or Explosive crossbow, Pick either of the two revolvers, pick the 50% less explosive damage armor, pick the big laser, the 500kg and the recoilless.

If your workplace gets bombarded with hundreds of emails saying you're a Nazi and threatening to bomb/shoot up the place your corpo will absolutely fire you just to make the headache go away.

Anybody who fires an employee over online stupidity is a fucking faggot and deserves to be fired or lose their company for it. Firing a high-performing employee because of something that happens outside of work and doesn't involve the company is fucking stupid and never actually works. These cunts are probably not finished harassing the entities that fired this guy; anybody remember that blue-collar worker who was fired after two nigger students annoyed him walking home one day and recorded him calling them "niggers"? His employer fired him, but they kept going after the company anyway, demanding to see their hiring policies, an explanation for how a "racist" could have been hired in the first place, etc., and it didn't stop until the company just said "eh fuck it, go away assholes" and it immediately went quiet.

The only correct response by a company when online controversy over non-company shit comes knocking is "lol fuck off losers" because no other response will result in a better response than just a bit of outrage at being stonewalled before they get distracted and go pester someone else. Like seriously, how fucking hard is it to just hang on up people who call to complain about that shit? Deleting emails is even easier. Dumb fucks.

Once fired, why wouldn't you say "man, fuck Scholastic Inc. for firing me, I don't work in a department that front-faces kids and no one was harassing any, they had no right to fire me from accounting" or whatever.

Probably got a decent severance. They generally don't just kick you to the curb over this kind of shit; there's usually some "go away and be quiet" cash to go along with it because (as the first quote above says) they just want the controversy to "go away," and leaving a salty ex-employee out in the rain with no cushion just invites more attention. Because you're right -- I'd make a fuck load of noise too unless they gave me an adequate bag of cash on the way out.

 

[Kheron Ophion]

I'm starting to lose patience with console players. I never experienced getting kicked for loadout or rank when the game released, but I've dealt with it more than ever. I'm not sure if it's because I still use the cadet tag (I'm lvl 150) or if they fear my Arc-Thundercock loadout, either way, I'm getting teamkilled and kicked by Xbox players. They've turned me into the ethereal Jew of the squigger front, blamed for everything, wanted for all.

They even fail the vibe check. Whereas before, when I was once an Xboxer, shouting nigger and faggot in every game chat, they give me that "WOOOOAH BUDDY DON'T SAY THAT" almost every time. Even the niggers, spics, and gooks on PlayStation pass it, where I least expected it.
How far my former home has fallen.
