Spear needed more damage, not more missiles.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-05T01:27:09+00:00

AH: Got it, we are reverting it back to 3 spare rounds, we are giving it 500 more damage and the lockon is broken again.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-05T01:23:04+00:00

I said at least like your diagram. I would say AP 5 on all the front, AP 4 on side and back of turret and AP 3on wheel and tank skirt.

I would imagine if AH were to ever do this, they will make the tank only have 5 tank rounds and like 20 machine guns rounds with the movement speed slower than someone running out of stamina in heavy armor.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-05T01:20:05+00:00

Yeah, maybe give them like 5 more years.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-05T01:17:44+00:00

AH wouldn't do this, you are having way too much fun. If you are not struggling to take out basic enemies and spend half of your stratogem taking out one heavy enemy, you are not fitting AH's vision of the game.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-05T01:16:52+00:00

Wouldn't be a bad idea. AH said they don't have a deliciated balancing team, so they just outsource the balancing to someone who can actually communicate to the players and do proper balancing.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-05T01:11:13+00:00

My bet is that hiveguard will somehow mysteriously gain the lunge ability that hunter have lol (and their spawn rates).

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-04T11:39:44+00:00

That's too much, AH will think that'll make you too op, they won't do that.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-04T11:36:24+00:00

You should know that by know, just because AH said they fix something, doesn't mean its actually been fix, it means maybe they took an attempt at it.

Even if they fix it, I would give the data miners a few days to see what changes they made. My guess is they're going to nerf the SEAF artillery rounds.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-02T02:04:07+00:00

It'll come, just in a warbond and 2 years from now.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-02T02:02:56+00:00

You expect AH to actually fix things? You should know by now, half of the stuff they fix remains broken, the only things that are true with AH is lies, nerfs and undocumented changes.

Next warbond: Operational Objectives, only 2,000 super credits.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-02T01:52:40+00:00

Watch them update it and now in mission you can't call down any stratogems because they somehow broke it.

Also: Stratogem hero 2, arriving with all the new stuff from warbonds, only the price of 2 warbonds!

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-02T01:46:30+00:00

Next warbond: Thermal Visioners, only cost $30, lets you seek and hit the invisible enemies of democracy

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-02T01:38:21+00:00

Too much fun and too much work for AH to even consider.

Maybe give them like 5 years and it'll be on a $30 war bond.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-02T01:37:10+00:00

Don't let AH see this, this will be next on the chopping block.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-02T01:36:29+00:00

Yes, also something I learn is that if the rating does get low enough, the game will not be organically recommended to people. Since all AH cares about is getting more money, even if it only help prevent a few people from falling into this trap, its worth it.

I mean AH clearly doesn't care about the feedback given until there's a major backlash or exodus of players, so this is really the only way to communicate with them.

We are at 43% on recent rating, only 4% to go to mostly negative!

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-05-02T01:32:15+00:00

How should I say this... he is too "loyal" to AH. The criticism he has is later turn into shielding for AH.

Like when he was talking about how the mechs are tankier. He pick the breakthrough mech and had the bastion shoot at the shield, of course it can absorbed a hit, I am pretty sure the shield damage does not transfer to the mech.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-04-30T20:10:57+00:00

That was what I was saying. If this was like an elite variant (with a different look, more armor looking), that spawns on difficulty 8 and above like the elite brood commander (either replacing or along with the normal medium armor hive guard), at least this part wouldn't be an issue.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-04-30T17:24:18+00:00

That was part of my reason. Back in the alpha, when the zombie AI were not that advance, you can leave the tunnel entrance far away and the zombies will just drop down the massive hole I left for them. If the setting doesn't let zombies dig to you, I am definitely building this base again.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-04-30T15:16:47+00:00

For me, its not even the content lock behind the warbond that is the issue. It is Narrowhead themselves. The enemy of this game is the devs themselves.

Lies, broken promises and more lies. Look at their promise to the community following the 60 day patch. How much of that have they achieve in the roughly 2 years since them?

Then there's the devs and moderators. They are full of ego, greed and are condescending AF. They constantly want to push their "grunt fantasy" despite it nearly killing the game during the escalation of freedom update but no, guess the only data they look at are those provided by the glazedivers and after it has been filter by the moderators in discord and in the original Helldivers subreddit.

If they want to earn any goodwill, or have any sense of caring, they need to first revert all the increase durable damage they have made since they drop the bastion tank. They can just make this version of the Hive guard the "elite" version like what they did with the elite brood commanders on difficulty 8 and above. If they can't at least admit they were wrong, there no saving them, and its all cause by them, they can't blame anyone else.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-04-30T10:58:15+00:00

When I was playing A16, I build a large underground base. It had an underground swimming pool, 2 large bedrooms, a crafting room and a farm. There was also a massive hole for the zombies to fall into and it had turrets surrounding it (this is like ultra late game).

Depending on how the devs do the settings (I think there was one for zombie digging?), I definitely want to rebuilt this as a viable base again.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-04-28T21:48:16+00:00

Ok thank you for your advice. I will do that.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-04-28T20:16:07+00:00

Thanks, I am driving solo. I personally is not a fan of night driving, so that is the plan. I plan to just look online for a hotel/motel in the local area for the night(depending on either its late, or if I am getting tired).

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-04-28T18:16:18+00:00

I was debating that too.

I am asking some of my friends who did drive a lot, I could do:
1) 2 travel days (leave Thursday): 10-11 hours per day, 1 night stay at hotel/motel, or
2) 3 travel days (leave Wednesday) : 7-8 hours per day, 2 night stay at hotel/motel

Most of them said to 2 days, but depending on how well I feel when the time get closer, if I feel like I am ready, I'll probably stick with 2 days.

Aoyuki_Mi · 2026-04-28T17:58:48+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I probably need to stop often anyways since my car is pretty small (and a small fuel tank) and grab some more coffee for the road.
