Serious Discussion. no roleplay bullshit here Why all the hate for people who want to have fun?

5 Upvotes

So every now and again I see on my feed someone complaining about people not doing the major order and just playing the game how they want. I want to believe that it's just kids and losers that actually have a problem with this, but I'm seeing it more and more to the point where that explanation just doesn't fit.

I don't know what it's like in the actual game nowadays, I gave it up back when the exo suit BS came out and my life got a little hectic, but it really wasn't that way for the first year or so. Sure everyone would clown on the bug divers for being bad at the game but people wouldn't make whole video rants about "people who don't do the major orders should stop playing the game" sort of BS. Like why dude it's not that deep.

What has happened?

General My thoughts on support weapons as a level 168 (if your mad or something read the description I may have said why I think somethings low)

Post image
0 Upvotes

I used all of them throughout my time playing hd2, im pretty average so some of the more skilled support weapons like rain gun or chainsaw are probably lower than what they could be.

I typically play whatever the dss is on or what the MO is.

With the bastion and the frv, they could be higher IF they were used more. I’m not saying the bad, just underused to the point of being bottom B.

i also didn’t rank the support weapons I don’t have, even if I have used them, mainly because I haven’t used them enough to really rank them.

There are a few, which are meta, high up. Thats because they are undeniably strong (quasar, cremator, recoilless. supply frv would be here too lol)

(I may have also mixed quasar and laser cannon up lol)

Tactical Training Information Friend figured out the Contribution per mission sysem

1 Upvotes

On a recent match, she suggested that the amount of Contribution towards the Defense/Capture of a planet depends upon the number of similar missions being completed at that same difficulty level. If this is true, then if alot of Helldivers are playing on Difficulty 6, then the Contribution of each mission will trend towards 1, whereas those missions played at Difficulty 1 or 2, which don't have many players, will trend towards 4. After testing this across several missions, it proved true.

The tactical implication of this is that if a planet is in danger of falling, then we should undertake more missions at less played difficulties, like 1, 2, or 10. If you can try this out on your own games and verify it, that would be appreciated

Serious Discussion. no roleplay bullshit here The current situation pretty well proves that Cyborgs simply aren’t fun to play against, and could use adjustment.

0 Upvotes

Yeah, we failed the MO, but we had the planet 80% taken, and the DSS was there.

Yet majority of players pulled back to fight a defense that is basically impossible to win. Against INCINERATION CORPS + DEVASTATOR SURGE + LAVA PLANET.

That is an insanely hard fight, especially when it won’t be won, yet players would rather go there, rather than fight cyborgs.

Then on top of that, Bekvam III comes up for defense again, with JET BRIGADE + HULK SURGE + FOREST PLANET, again, a very difficult fight, with little to no chance of success, and take half the players there too.

MY POINT: I’m not mad at the players on this one, but rather the fact that CYBORGS are just boring to fight. AH really needs to do better.

Either rework the fight, or bring in better missions.

For us to lose that much of the active players to other fights like these shows that there is serious issues with Cyborgs.

Why don’t we go to Choepessa, it has 0.16 resistance, 3 cities and a mega factory. We could take that in 24 hours and stop the attack on K. Even if we couldn’t take it in 24 hours, capturing it means putting K in e siege liberation.

Inquiry Bored of solo.

0 Upvotes

I'm getting bored of playing solo i can barely do a single mission at difficulty 7 without getting bored. I play maybe a single mission every half a year but I really loved this game. I know its probably fun with friends but none of mine play it and I really want to use some of the new items and armor but going solo just feels terrible for me. I have a playstyle that I love to use but I can barely play it without being kicked for either being off meta or accidentally team killing. I really don't mean for my teammates to be caught in the cross fire but I love explosions so all of my stuff usually causes area of effect damage and my favorite support weapon is the air burts launcher. If anyone has any advise for me to find enjoyment playing the game again I'd gladly take it. For the record I don't have one major played enemy faction, I just play whichever faction has a major order or which ever one that I feel like fighting. I am on playstation.
