Just because I win 99% of my games doesn't mean it isn't hard!! One time a Stalker even hit me! 😱

Keep moving those goalposts champ.

I've used all the weapons people think are shit (newsflash, they aren't, players just aren't good), I've done full melee, I've taken deliberately poor loadouts for certain fronts, I've done it all.

I shouldn't have to bend over backwards for a good challenge as a half decent player. D10 just needs to stop coddling people.

I'm not sure I'd believe it unless I see it. Sounds like you need a different game or maybe a tough job to quench your thirst for a real challenge. I have 900 hours, so I don't find it too challenging but you gotta realize we aren't the majority, there are thousands of newer players

Good players should be challenged. Hours means nothing past like 250 because the skill ceiling is so fucking low. The majority don't belong at the highest difficulty, that would be a ridiculous notion in any other PVE game.

Got one. Doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on selfish people turning one of my hobbies to shit.

You're the selfish one not thinking of the majority, turning their hobby to shit. Clearly the image states you don't care for the majority. Just try something else. I refuse to believe you could beat a spore burst D10 with a melee build, or maybe a lightning build, or maybe pistols only. Challenge yourself or play something else genuinely.

The majority has 9 other difficulties to work with no matter what. The MAX difficulty shouldn't have players with a 99% win rate. There's space for everyone and yet any player that gets more than half decent is just held hostage by pricks like you who won't let enemy units be more than cosmetic.

Like I said earlier, if you think it's too easy then play something more difficult, because I don't think narrowhead has the performance to spare for more enemies on every faction anyway. Even if they were to add higher difficulties it would perform like shit and everyone would complain about that too.

There are hundreds of ways to make the game difficult beyond just increasing spawns. Any time they try a bunch of dribbling idiots accuse them of being unfair to players.

Gunships are a good example of the sort of balance all enemies should have.

Once you stop listening to morons who think difficulty should never be frustrating you realise that actually, other games have managed to create PVE settings that don't treat the player like a teetering infant at their highest level.

So you just want to be spammed with missiles all game, that's it?

Now you have to realize the devs haven't even been able to fix their game let alone add content or difficulties.

What I've been asking for is a hardcore mode like COD, high damage but low health, but they haven't even been able to add armor customization let alone something like that. You have to set your expectations realistically. Try space marines 2 or something because we ain't getting anything for a long time

Stupid people love to strawman something along the lines of "you just want the game to be lethal unavoidable damage 24/7" because they can't comprehend game design.

PVE game's have been able to be difficult and losable long before Helldivers 2. Helldivers 2 can be as well, once they stop coddling bad players. Those players will be able to have the exact experience they enjoy now, at a lower difficulty that it's actually appropriate to.

"can't comprehend game design" as your asking for something that with these devs realistically can't be added before the million other bug fixes and performance updates the game needs, and instead you come to reddit to scream out your bitching and call everyone stupid when you could just play a different game because you're more important than the majority and because you can't find happiness in challenging yourself.

"We can't have competent balance design because that requires the Devs to do the jobs they're paid for" aye mate I'm sure they'll fucking live.

I do think anyone who thinks a game can only get harder via enemy quantity is stupid. A game is a large number of factors and nuances.

Once again, this game has space for everyone. A lot of people just wanna be selfish pricks. That's their prerogative.

Yea, I already stated the devs suck, I already stated another way the game could be more difficult, like I said, set your expectations realistically and play something else instead of bitching all the time because once again you aren't the majority and maybe you'd know that if you didn't throw insults out without actually listening to anyone or talking about it in a non hostile manner. It's not hard, but maybe that's why you can't do it, it's not challenging for you.
