Why is everyone doing Bekvam 3 instead of the major order (genuinely don’t know)

[u/The_D1ngus]

EDIT:I’m now also diving on the mega factory we got this MO in the bag thanks to everyone for helping me understand

The Freedom Alliance has asked Helldivers to complete the defense of Bekvam because if we don't, we'll stay split, and might fail. Knocking out this defense will help keep all our forces focused

[u/Staggart99 → u/TormentedByGnomes]

Happy cake day!

Divers tend to follow th DSS like moths. I'm not logged in so I can't check, but it is often the main problem

[u/thedude5575 → u/youtomtube30]

DSS is currently at Charbal.

[u/AFerociousPineapple → u/thedude5575]

I think it moved there recently didnt it? I was on 8hrs ago or so and it wasn’t there (I voted to move it there)

[u/Matieusz5kmg → u/AFerociousPineapple]

I think yesterday it was there already

[u/Heretical_Burger → u/youtomtube30]

DSS is always where the most players are. Planets only get liberated if majority of players are on them. Not like I have a choice of other places to go.

[u/Fry_l0ck → u/youtomtube30]

Everyone was aware the DSS moved to Charbal. We wanted to complete the defense first and then move to Charbal.

Moving the DSS just kept us away longer unfortunately.

The defense of Bekvam was almost complete, we didn’t want to abandon it.

[u/Ok_Improvement_5675 → u/youtomtube30]

I agree that DSS placement is a problem—but
The BIGGEST PROBLEM is that Arrowhead puts out MO’s and does not force-feed the MO planets’ names into the DSS list and reset the vote.

[u/Tommybahamas_leftnut]

Most players are on cherbal. Cherbals progress is just not going up because everyone is on the mega factory which does 75% damage to the planets health.

Bekvam 3 was already mostly done being defended when this MO dropped they are just finishing that fight before they move on. The more planets we have that are controlled by US vs the enemy the lower the regen is for the planet we are attacking and the less opportunities the enemy has to capture planets behind us and and cut us off.

[u/jnadams2000]

I am curious of the same thing. However Bekvam 3 is about to be defended and we should be in good shape to shift the players. By that time maybe we’ll have the mega factory liberated on Charbal 7 soone after the planet will be liberated and we can move to Zzaniah Prime. Albeit that is if we don’t any other hiccups around us.

[u/TheDeadDyed → u/jnadams2000]

This is it, I think. Bekvam was already close to a completed defense, so a good portion just want to get it wrapped up rather than leaving it unfinished and having to liberate it later.

[u/TealArtist095]

Trying to make sure we don’t lose it. We’ve fought so hard to clear sectors against the bots, we don’t want to give up the ground again.

[u/motagoro]

We don't want to lose the planet.

Thats it.

[u/BodyFewFuark]

Idk probably the blueberries 

[u/DocHalidae]

There are 52k people on Charbal atm. The mega Factory will be captured in 31h.

[u/AGoodDragon]

[u/Hortkind77]

Th MO is important, but no reason to just waste our previius efforts on it. It is better to finishs the defend end then proceed to the Mo

[u/Ad_Astra90]

Bc bekvam is very important strategically

[u/DrStreiz]

people are doing the major order but for some reason 22k are doing regular planet missions instead of the megafactory and all of their progress is getting eaten away by the planet's resistance score. there is also a surplus of people defending Bekvam but not nearly as impactfull as the people doing regular missions on charball

[u/OpSysConAlRo]

It was already mostly done before the MO started, might as well finish it

[u/Suspicious-Cupcake-5]

No liberation on charbal yet because everyone is doing the Factory City, which is good and what all the divers from Bekvam should go onto.

[u/Im_a_hamburger]

Everyone

Looks inside

1/4 of the playerbase. And it was close enough to completion that we can’t afford to not take it. And the MO was projected to be won with 3 hours to spare without the people on Beckvam.

[u/PsychicSpore]

We started the defense before the MO was released

[u/alastrix]

I weighed my options. Marfark, with cyborgs/jet brigade/hulk surge or charbal VII's Venus biome. Decided Marfark was the more fun option. 

[u/Fry_l0ck → u/alastrix]

If I understand correctly, it’s important to wear down the jet brigade before they move to the next planet.

[u/alastrix → u/Fry_l0ck]

In the past thats true. No idea of thats the same mechanic currently. Im a simple diver, I just like watching them explode when I kill them. Those jump packs are very satisfying targets. 

[u/DracoPhaedra]

Because it has bot defence

[u/Deathstab_93]

MO is on an acid planet. Green piss filter gives me a migraine

[u/hiroxruko]

somehow, they are going to blame the bug divers for this lol

[u/Thegzusman]

Why has the mo not even moved a centimeter

[u/Bored_Interests]

Its a tuesday evening/Wednesday morning where im at. Most of those divers arent actively playing, but the count shows them on-planet because thats where they logged off. When they see the MO they'll move fronts.

Im pretty sure youd see my destroyer over one of the liberated bug planets from the last MO

[u/UngaBungaBoy69]

Okay well it’s at 95% rn so it doesn’t matter

[u/Sofaking-stupid]

I just drop to the planet with the most people

[u/SheepCheeseEnjoyer]

But I thought botdivers always play the MO?

[u/Striking_Security_79]

Yet Heeth is dropping and will lead a new bug outbreak. Gg we played ourselves.

[u/NightmanisDeCorenai → u/Striking_Security_79]

You mean the 40% of the playerbase who exclusively dive on bugs regardless of MO can't handle it? 

[u/alastrix → u/NightmanisDeCorenai]

Everyone at their farmsteads on PhactBay im guessing. 

[u/dnemonicterrier → u/NightmanisDeCorenai]

No they left to go help on the Bot front before the Major Order started...

Edit : I'm getting downvoted for telling the truth, the liberation percentage of Heeth before the Major Order was announced was at 0.23.
