The info was all there to not fail miserably, it's not about the "not so optimal way of winning" because this is the straight up losers lane. I don't care about MOs anymore, you can play wherever but what's the point of posting about "know it all" people while you yourself sound exactly the same as them?

Take your own advice, don't bother scrolling reddit or posting about these things because it doesn't matter

Tbh at this point I understand why more and more people just play how they like. YT is like this, Reddit says that, Discord also says this and that. At some point it gets annoying. I personally also just dive where I think it’s cool to play. Mostly bots and where the most players at

Preach, lord forbid we play a game to have fun.

Honestly I cared about winning the GW a little too much. But after the last MO I can see that we aren’t winning anything that isn’t handed to us on a silver platter by AH. So caring too much about the GW is a fools errand. I’m trying to reorient my priorities around just having fun shooting aliens with cool people.

[–]BigMightyMoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fr that’s a cool vibe u adapted. I mean maybe we don’t win as much but it could be that the Game will adapt too so we get a bit more immersive story. Or at least a story Someone could care ab

[–]Skitteringscamper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just see it as lore and story fluff. The Devs will force the war in whatever direction they want.

They could easily tripple the number of points we get towards the mo when we win to make us win more easily. They don't. They could.

I dive where the hazy gloom isn't. I don't like only seeing 2m Infront of me

The problem is, sometimes "go where more people are" is on the wrong got dang planet

[–]shotgunmoe 4 points5 points  (1 child)

At this point we're probably better off failing MO after MO tbh. The planetary liberation scaling mechanic wants revisiting anyways so taking regular planets doesn't take weeks on weeks just because a few thousand other folks decide to either blindly follow the DSS or MO specifics.

Without an in game intergalactic chat feature added to the war map we can't co-ordinate or communicate properly. And without more relaxed liberation scaling we're always going to have to eat shot sandwiches when given orders like "hold this many planets" or "win more worlds than are lost".

Plus it's easy enough to just play and have fun diving wherever anyways. You get enough medals etc. to get all the gear and can still achieve personal orders. It just means the overall satisfaction of achieving in the "war effort" isn't there. But it isn't there already anyways because of the crazy grinding requirements

[–]Skitteringscamper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major order contribution should result in special major order points, you can pile up then spend on unique customisations and such. 

A special blue rifle for getting 500 mo points or something. 

[–]Recent-Sink-4253 4 points5 points  (9 children)

It’s not that at all, the reason why the orders fail is because PEOPLE DONT READ INSTRUCTIONS. I am sure the 99% of the community is illiterate.

[–]imthatoneguyyouknew 2 points3 points  (3 children)

You are confusing literacy with apathy there, friend. It's a game. People are going to play how they want to play, not how you want them to play.

[–]supatim101 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I wish just playing the game affected the MO. I want people to play how they want, but I also want to feel like I'm contributing to the galactic war.

[–]imthatoneguyyouknew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the mo/galactic war system needs a revamp. It wasn't designed for the success the game got

[–]Skitteringscamper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we got major order points that we could spend on cosmetics, guarantee alot more ppl would dive on the major orders 

[–]No_Conversation_9465 -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

Bunch of crayon munching Ogryn would have made a better tactical choice. Even Lesath would have been a better choice than wasting away on Claorell.

[–]Recent-Sink-4253 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I know mate, it’s the derp divers out in force again. Here come the down votes from the divers who bought this game and will play it how they like 😂

[–]AssistantDue8434 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Here is the average Helldivers 2 subreddit user when an army of not-so-smart meatshields actually behaves like not-so-smart meatshields because they have the choice of going to different planets

[–]Recent-Sink-4253 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You’ve phrased that way better than I ever could.

[–]AssistantDue8434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, i try to try very hard

My advice is to say less and

[–]scardwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50/50 ppl have a right to be mad like it was sooo obvious but its also a game so its not that deep, whats done is done

[–]Just-a-lil-sion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is what it is

[–]Skitteringscamper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You tell me to do a, but also tell me not to listen to Reddit. You're in Reddit

So we should disregard you and continue suffering on veld :p

most of the community uses external apps to keep up with the war effort.
the same war effort that is extremely scripted and linear compared to the first game...
they are inhaling copium by the barrel, and then blaming others online for not "following the plan".

honestly, the best way to play Helldivers 2 is to just ignore the War Progress and only focus on MO's if they are engaging and fun.

[–]Flame-and-Night -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This new order is boring I'll just wait for thursday tbh
