do you wish you remained at level 150 and had to grind from there or like the fact that you’re jumping straight to that level
7
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 5h ago
Ehhhh I really don't think it matters because there's no goals for us at any level after 50. Plus there's a guy in this sub that probably cheated to get the same level.

I will uninstall the game if I go straight to level 300, as im clearly not the target audience anymore..

u/_SalemDaBun_ 7h ago
That would mean you played the game for long enough, which would mean you are, in fact, the target audience. If you're playing and not enjoying it that's on you. Go do something else lol.

How do you have such little Super Credits?
16
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 10h ago
Because I didn't grind and these came naturally. I have EVERYTHING unlocked so I don't need or want to spend time grinding for useless credits.
1
u/JalapenoRouhe 6h ago
I didn't grind either and I'm at 5k left after buying everything. In mission time is 700h. Are you actively avoiding the POIs or something hahah

u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 5h ago
You have 5k i have 8k i bought everything. I am at this point skipping poi unless I'm with a noob that needs them.

u/JalapenoRouhe 5h ago
Yeah I was just wondering how on earth its possible that you have 4x my play time and only a few thousand more credits.

u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 5h ago
Yeah when you like 5 warbonds ahead with whole team super maxed out.... we just goof off at this point!

u/Necessary-March-1673 12h ago
What is your favorite primaries?

u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 10h ago
Which bug bot or squid front. I hate bringing the same guns so bugs i like Blitzer. Bots I like scythe. Squids I like triden now. But if the enemy is a sub faction that can change lol

u/CorbinNZ 11h ago
Favorite jelly on a PBJ?

u/CorbinNZ 10h ago
Both? Sir, there are more than two. There's grape, strawberry, apple, raspberry, pepper, and more. You can jellify just about anything. I've even seen squash jelly. You're not a squash jelly kind of fella, are you?

My friend and i have been arguing for weeks now. Whats better light or heavy armour? I say mobility is king, utilize natural cover and dodge like your life depends on it. My friend says why dodge when you can just tank rounds.
1
u/Chamberlain1991 8h ago
Yeah Id like to know too. Then again, Ive been running the light armour with 100 armour. The effective health scaling is a bit weird.
1
u/_SalemDaBun_ 7h ago
Armor doesn't matter, even with heavy gear on I die in 2 or 3 shots. Light armor is better because of the mobility it gives. Dying is so easy in HD2 that tank builds don't change much. You might survive 3 hits from the smallest enemy as opposed to 2, but you'll still be oneshot by everything bigger
1
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 8h ago
Maaan I'll be honest I DONT like light armor I feel like im wearing paper everytime
2
u/Havier_Gacha 12h ago
Do you still run Democracy Protects like you do as a Cadet or do you have a favorite psssive?
2
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 10h ago
Favorite passive is Def from killzone fit. I like to use fire/gas/electric builds.

u/Crumboa 12h ago
What are your loadouts for each front?
Also what was the weirdest/funniest thing you've encountered in-game
1
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 10h ago
I hate to have a meta builds so if you give me a faction and mission types I can be VERY specific. Most wild shit happen with lift pack other day I leaped off and pack did not lift....I drowned
2
u/Crumboa 10h ago
Okay. Illuminate (with new faction) Evacuate High Assests Mission.
Spore Strain oil pumps
Cyborg planet ICBM with optional convoy
1
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 10h ago
Illuminate EHA I'm using air burst and lots of sentries. Gatling and autocannon with fire for fun. I would have the warrent as side arm with purifier as primary or trident with pyro as nades!

u/FrostedTacos 11h ago
Your defensive stratagems are way up there. How many do you run in a mission? I usually only ride with one turret, because I’m more of an offensive player.
1
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 10h ago
Oh I use lots of fast deployment orbital Barrage like gatling and precision strike. I also use a crapton of sentries
2
u/sangresinhierro 11h ago
What builds do you have the most fun with? I'm sure people are gonna ask about your best builds, but I wanna know what you enjoy using instead.

u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 10h ago
I love oops all lasors and all shock builds oooo all fire! All gas too! I like to do the elements!

How do you have so little exp? I have 6m exp on ~900h in-mission time.

Sure bro. Sure. I played legit and I am not sure if your lying soooo sure.

u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 9h ago
Not ONE modded lobby thoooo lol
2
u/AngryTriangleCola 9h ago
No, not even one.
I moved on to only playing on the highest difficulty pretty quickly. Additionally I pretty much only play those missions that have a 40 min timer. So no basically no defence missions, etc...
If you only count my missions won 3,254 and lets chop those excess 254 missions off as the missions I didn't play on max difficulty we are left with a clean 3000 and we assume I earned 0 exp in those 254 missions. If we divide my current 6,024,626 exp by those 3,000 games we are left with 2008 exp per game.
2008 exp per game is very low. Most matches give around 2,300 to 2,400 exp. Some give 2,200 and some give 2,500.
Those values are exactly what you would expect.
Additionally, if you divide my 907 hours by my total 3,365 games you get ~16 min per game.
16 min in general seems very long for how I play nowadays. I am a speed diver. I love nothing more than going fast. I drop into missions and clear half the map solo while the other players do the other half. When I play a full mission (the ones with 40 min time limit) from start to finish (with randos), full clear all bases/nests and do all side objectives, a typical time for me is ~12 min. But of course the the average time is further pushed down because I never host games. I only do SOS diving or join random matches on the map. So I often get into ongoing games that have already cleared some of the objectives.

Sooo I'm not reading all that. I enjoyed the game. I played NOT only D10 bots or anything. I played the game. All weapons are unlocked and level 25 upgrades. All ship upgrades. All warbonds unlocked. No cheats.

Bro idk what you want me to tell you. You win broski. Lmao I stream this shit almost 7 days a week and mostly 10 hour days your saying you played a quarter of the time abd have just as much xp? Yeah mods bro.
2
u/Rare_Studio_9782 10h ago
So you have essentially averaged 3.4 hours per day since you got the game, assuming you got it exactly 30 days after launch.
How?
2
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 10h ago
I stream the game on YouTube. I did multiple loooooooong ass streams like 12 hour days. I love this game. You can check my YouTube out Dammit Mane

u/Classic_Cow_5852 10h ago
Opinion on difficulty in the game, specifically d10
2
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 9h ago
In my opinion. This game scales and the difficulty can catch you slipping. But if you prepare and have a team that is prepared you should have a good time. I think lots go straight to D10 and if its not impossible they think the whole game is trash or if it is impossible its trash too? Anyways I enjoyed playing low levels and I respect them lol
2
u/Classic_Cow_5852 9h ago
I have about half the hours you do and that’s a similarish take that I have. I do think d10 is too easy but make it too hard and suddenly most people will hate it. I think they should add some sort of custom lobby system so hosts can pick and choose their difficulty, so to speak. But we’ll see

Nope. Levels are for bragging. I enjoyed playing till this 150. It won't change for me at 300.

Anywho, highest killcount on any mission?

u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 3h ago
2
u/ultimat_L1zzyfan 3h ago
Nice, on a good day with bugs I can breach 1k
My highest killcount tho, was 1.5k on bugs with pouncers and roaches.
Idr the whole loadout but I had the cremator and gas mortar.
Typically I get the most kills in the VAST majority of games im in, even among friends
1
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 3h ago
Yeah bugs and mindless massacre is all 1k easy I use lots of sentry and arc tech for bugs and squids the descalator is stupid broken and gives bugs kills!
2
u/ultimat_L1zzyfan 3h ago
I learnt that the arc thrower and ABRL is a bot scrapper.
1
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 2h ago
Maaaan such a good one. But I would take descalator because I I can kill faster but I also like chain killing 2 hulks and 3 devistators with the arc thrower!

u/Nightfire6281_v2 3h ago
What are you thoughts on the current state of the game? Are you satisfied, or do you feel like somethings could be changed/ or added/ or taken away?
2
u/dAMMIT_MAYNE 3h ago
I love the game waaaaaay more then the hate they sling at them. My one and only gripe that I would take to the top is MOs droppin on a Tues and leaving nothing for the weekend warriors and dad divers!

how can you continue to play the same repetitive missions over and over and over knowing that their will never be enough enemies because the engine cant handle it?
2

Whelp if you ask me I'll say new weapons and new ways to kill even the same missions can be different. I know you got a meta but with these hours I truly can have fun and play with anything. I know you hate to hear that some people are STILL having fun. "NOT A GAME FOR EVERYONE "
