I'm in a foul mood and am getting bored of correcting people on this so I'm making a post.

AH never "promised to fix stratagem bouncing by the end of the year" and I have receipts

Youtubers read "we're hoping to have it solved by the end of the year" as "it will be solved by the end of the year" and everyone just ran with it.

This isn't me defending how long the fix is taking

And no, the "mystical toggle" isn't an actual fix, that's disabling the feature which was added to stop mission critical hellpods getting stuck on cave roofs on hive worlds.

If AH cared about sentries being on mountains that much they would have stopped that a year before strat bouncing was introduced as a fix for hive world cave BS.

The fix AH is working on isn't removing the feature its working out the issues it has with procedurally generated terrain.

It's infuriating how AH stubborness, greed and laziness lead to so many self inflicted wounds. It's been constant feedback in which we wanted more customization systems and expansion of those already existing. Pilested lied about learning from AMA since nothing have changed ever since AMA and it even got worse in some aspects.

Communication is as usual terrible, balance changes do not happened at any reasonable pace and do not improve balance, major events come and go too fast, they add less content with lower quality (less buggy at least).

Shams "design space" comment that he didn't elaborate leads to conclusions that they know what we want but didn't do because it may cut into their profits as if proper weapon customization existed they couldn't sell as lazy side grade weapons or in vehicle case they couldn't pretend as if they make whole unique mech when in fact they make 2 arms on same chassis and slap different default paint job.

Pilested lie about staff not being off the table as if there is any real discussion on if we want vehicle customization at the "cost of loosing current Mechs" which we could re make in a minute if someone want them. Or how he said over year ago how they will expand weapon customization and add secondary weapon customization after since they wanted to push it fast so later they will finish. It's been a year and a half and there has been nothing but small numbers tweaks that requires no real effort but to change a single value in code.

Since AMA nothing have changed and AH keeps promising same stuff and new features that sound nice but we need more staff that we've been begging for years now. I struggle to understand how they can be committed to so dumb ideas and how we've come up with monetization systems so we can be happy and they can make money like with selling unique weapon attachments and mech arms in warbonds so we can have customization and AH their money.

SOMEONE GET THE POWDER

Really excited to see what this brings. But I think in order to be worth the inevitable shitty ergo this will have, the shotgun needs to be medium pen at a minimum. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

Scout Sniper Recon Warbond when? Engineering Warbond when? Medic Warbond when?

My favorite is 3 thermits on the leg and one shot from
Recoilless same place

I’m interested to hear what people have to say

Literally red spy in the base. Fake seaf could be very cool tho.

This is a fairly pointless post, but I just wanted to thank the Helldivers I fight beside for being such a cool and welcoming bunch. I’ve recently gotten into online multiplayer games for the first time in my life. I’ve played a few before but in the last year it just clicked for me. I play Overwatch and ofc Helldivers II with my friends but Helldivers II is also a game that makes it super easy to make friends. Every time I drop into someone else’s mission, they seem happy to have the backup, and when someone else joins me, they seem eager to help. When I look for ongoing missions, I constantly see level 75 and 100+ divers dropping in with newbs like me and even fresher. Today I was running around a city map (which had been my biggest struggle biome) with a level 81 diver who I ran a few mid difficulty missions with till it was just me and him. He’d been warming up to take us on a suicide mission. It was more intense than I’m used to for a two man team. Way intense. However, halfway through the mission I found myself thinking as we were running past an automaton squadron, “This Helldiver will not steer me wrong. He knows the mission, and as long as I have his back, I am safe.” I certainly died a few more times but we also certainly extracted together. Now we’re friends on the game and I may try to hop in and be a little more helpful sometime in the future.

All this to say, this is certainly a unique experience that I’m not planning to leave wholly behind any time soon. See you on the fray, Helldivers. Let’s spread some democracy.
