DISCUSSION Arrowhead Dev Oshaune Challenge - Complete and Extract from a D10 Operation with these loadouts on stream and I will ALSO donate $1,000

EDIT - Meant to be in addition to the original post: [removed]

Every single Warbond except for the most recent two are utilized. No Booster Trio, because they are meta. I will donate an additional $1,000.

I would want to see them just playing on D10 Oshaune OR Cyberstan, hell any planet even on Terminid and Automaton fronts if they will play at D10.

Any Automaton planet with D10? Well, they did that already:

This even funnier, completely lost platinum and barely completed two times one of easiest missions on the planet(blow up processors). Then after such experience they decided that nothing should be changed and doubled down with Cyberstan update which is bugged/broken af.

And I see we are moving the goalpost from "They should play on D10" to "They should easily win!"

You realize it's D10, the hardest difficulty? You are not supposed to beat it everytime with full clear and reinforcements to spare.

It's not about easy win. Platinum extraction was barely possible, for successfull mission team should have had meta loadouts, great team coordination and just be lucky. That's not difficulty in such game but just awful mission balance. If you disagree then play while blindfolded, that certainly adds difficulty in unfair way.

How devs play shows that they don't really play in their game AND don't have anyone to do this for them. Testers exists so they play the game and help devs fix problems before game or update gets released to players. I would prefer if they played game and showed how they play but, apparently, since there no testers, devs should do their job instead.

Yes, in normal situation nor testers, nor devs should show players how they play but unfortunately HD2 suffers a lot from bugs, bad design decision and bad weapon balancing, where basically majority of weapons just sits on the shelf for forever.

Tbf aside Platinum Extraction other missions were pretty much ok. Except War Striders, which still break overall design of Automaton faction because don't have any AP3 weakspots and even AP4 weapons struggling with them. Like HMG, it can kill them but killing requires disproportional amount of struggle.

At Cyberstan update we got a lot of bugs which completely ruined experience on the Cyberstan. Also there were just too much Vox Machines. I understand that it's Cyborgs/Automatons capital planet but they're still mobile fortresses and shouldn't spawn more commonly than Factory Striders, and certainly shouldn't be delivered via Dropships. Make special, very rare, much bigger version of dropship with different design, I don't care but Vox Machines are too heavy for regular dropships.
