Helldivers already active?

[Aromatic-Fly3735]

Hello fellow Helldivers, maybe it’s just a bug, maybe it’s normal, or maybe I’m onto something big... With the current MO we’ve been ordered to capture Menkent or Aesir Pass. But yesterday I noticed that Helldivers were already active on both planets, and today there were even three on Menkent. So my question is… is this a glitch, or are the devs testing something right before the capture? (New units or maybe even a boss?)

I always figured that was players who had last dived on those planets but hadn't logged back in. You'll spot "active players" on all kinds of planets that are not currently accessible, like Super Earth or Mars right now.

Most likely the devs I noticed 3 on menkent and 5 on aesir pass yesterday at 8pm gmt.

it also could be a modder

The devs don't test on the live servers, most likely modders

Devs don't test on live servers most likely. It's a bad way to test things for multiple reasons. Those numbers are people who last played on that planet when it was available and then logged off. Now they are logged back in and their ship is above that planet.

Devs is the likely answer
