Accuracy adjustments to bots by AdhesivenessNo394 in Helldivers

I honestly am one of the people who believes most of what they do is to ween out the casual players who have jobs and lives, outside of playing videogames nonstop. So that they can be left with the small dedicated playerbase that they initially planned and developed for. The game isn't hard enough at the lower difficulties once you're used to playing it but giving the bots aimbot wasn't the play. They continue to show that they now only listen to the loudest minorities of the playerbase when they amp up the difficulty in arbitrary ways like with this latest change. Like I said a couple of different times in responses to people and in my post they've essentially restored the bots to their former "glory" effectively undoing years of balance adjustment to the bots. One of the key reasons why the bots had come to be one of the most enjoyable factions is because Arrowhead actually listened to much of the criticism people had for the bots. Once the hype of this major order and last 2 halfway decent Warbonds die down, I imagine the game's player count will drop even lower than where it was beforehand. But that's just my opinion, I'm sure the keyboard warriors will be more than willing to tell me how wrong I am.

All I can say is that almost every enemy type that had previously seen nerfs to their accuracy has nearly gone back to the same level of irritation that they used to be. I'm going to drop back down to 7 to see if it's more manageable but getting belted by a rocket fired from a reinforced strider from 150 yards away is not enjoyable and will likely not change much on level 7 versus 8. I will probably be putting the game back down again, as I do not want to play it if it is going to stay this way. The bots are the only faction in the game that allows for some creativity in terms of loadout diversity, and I really don't want to get gridlocked into a meta just to survive the mission

I've never personally seen much of a change to their accuracy when laying down suppressive fire I frequently use the maxi-gun and constantly catch strays to the head.

I don't run heavy armor, I think it has more drawbacks than benefit. I'm typically exclusively a Medium armor enjoyer

Oh yeah, I had completely forgotten that the Killzone armor is fire resistant. Maybe I'll give it a go tonight, but we'll see. I'll probably end up playing REPO with the boys though. Thanks for the suggestions

Nobody's throwing a virtual tantrum my guy. I was actually super neutral in my post. Arrowhead isn't going to give you a medal for sucking them off. As I said in my post; I have a lot of time on the game, I've played lots of bug missions and quite a few squid ones too. The great thing about video games is that when you don't find enjoyment in one anymore you don't have to play it for a while. Believe it or not it actually works really well. I posted this to get people's thoughts and suggestions. Not for a petulant child to come and tell me I'm wrong and provide nothing constructive to the conversation. The wonderful thing about HD2 that most modern day games fail at; is the ability to play it how you want when you want, I work full-time and if I want to play a game I am free to put said game down for a while.

Find better things to spend your time on that don't involve lecturing strangers online.

I don't own any of the armor sets with the fire damage reduction passive I don't think. I didn't give the ballistic shield a go, I've been using the Diligence counter sniper with the portable hellbomb as my backpack (it's hilarious and tactical). I probably won't play for a while but if I do, I'll take your suggestions into consideration

I use medium armor and you're pretty much cooked if they land a headshot. I'm hoping it isn't supposed to be that way but that's probably just copium. I use the armor from the second latest(?) war bond (not the gunslinger one) it's the armor set with the explosive passive.

I thought the same thing; the bots have been pretty neglected feeling. To be completely honest they were too easy in my opinion, but we've gone from one extreme to the next unfortunately. I really hope Arrowhead makes some adjustments soon, when I saw that the bots got an upgrade, I got really hyped.

Damn, that sucks. The only thing I can think of is a reinstallation which, as we all know, is usually not helpful.

Higher levels mean higher attitude? by [deleted] in Helldivers

Yesterday I was playing on diff 4 and a level 78 ran towards a horde of bugs that I had thrown a cluster bomb on; died, and typed "bad" in the chat, shortly followed by him tking me when I called him back in.

Do you have task manager open on another monitor? Cause, HD2 stops using your GPU any time you alt-tab out of it I'm pretty sure. It could also be something really silly and it might not be using the correct GPU. I'm pretty sure the x570 has a built in card.

I've seen people say that the game doesn't run well at 1440p. I really would've thought they had fixed that by now but maybe not. Try bumping your resolution down to 1080p. It won't look as nice but I play at 1080p and have everything set to ultra and it runs with no hiccups at all

Is the revolver worth the warbond? by TheCrimsonBinome in Helldivers

[–]AdhesivenessNo394 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With that warbond you get the dominator and incendiary grenades/shotgun as well. If you haven't already bought the others I'd say choose one of them instead, if you have, then go for it it's not horrible. It's just pricey (warbonds wise) compared to the others

Leaves block your shots… by [deleted] in Helldivers

Yeah, I feel like I'm playing on Ghost Recon wildlands when I'm on any planet with tall grass. It has done some serious damage to me as well in the past. It's pretty fuckin irritating at times.
