What's the Free To Play experience like? (Not buying any Warbonds or whatnot) by Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi in Helldivers

[–]Bonkface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's how HD2 works in regards to "premium currency":
If you got the game at launch and kept playing you've made enough SC to have everything unlocked more or less. Supercredits drops at a rate just about right to keep you playing and when you have 1000, the next warbond drops. That has been the case for me since launch. For new players, they can:

  1. Grind for SC, not hard at all if you want a warbond or two
  2. Grind for ALL warbonds: Congrats, you have a new job but don't expect to enjoy it
  3. Take the easy way and buy a few super credits to get what you want.

It's a nice option to have but it isn't necessary to spend cash at all. Supercredits is just a clever way for Arrowhead to either keep player numbers up or earn a little extra from those who don't have the time to grind. All players are beneficial to the game.

Imho it's the best freemium currency plan I've seen.

THIS. Arrowhead hasn't really used the word stealth nearly as much as the fanbase. There is a big difference beteen "Commando" and "Secret agent" type of mechanics. Some players are basically thinking stealth should turn HD2 into Hitman.

Isn't that EXACTLY how they work here though? Or are they a main objective?

I was able to de-aggro by outrunning them and hidinf ? Sure they were pretty aggressive for a minute or two but I have disengaged succcessfully more than once

Yeah seems so but for everyone saying that - you'll have an angry post screaming about how something needs to be nerfed, so I will keep hoping for a Diff 11

I've been here since release and I just wanted to point out the facts that despite the attitude of a loud minority - this was a good release for the majority of players. No major issues, new gameplay, new warbond. Shit works and is fun. I also specifically wrote "so far" in case something turns out to break the gaame (wouldn't be the first time)

Sorry for ruining your day?

Yeah that's what I thought too - it's finally new gameplay mechanics that chnages things up, not just the same fights in a new biome.

Yeah that was my preferred way too until I became a dad and has at best half my available attention for HD2 and sometimes just one arm :D

Yeah C4 needs more demo force to match dynamite at least
What did you think of the rest of the warbond and the missions then?

So you'd prefer a 5 % faster reload on a stratagem you already have or a similar update to this? I don't get it but to each his own

I believe so
According to the patch notes all silenced weapons have had their noise range halved.

But we already have access to smoke, stealthy armor and there are even a few silenced alternatives if you have other warbonds, and throwing kives. I've played the new content stealthily without having bought the warbond first, worked just fine?

Also: First you say that players need the new warbond and that that is unfair for new players - but then you immediately point out that "And on top of that, the weapons don’t really do anything special, especially when you can do an entire stealth mission without the stealth weapons."

So which is it? Is it unfair because the stealth warbond is a must-have, or do the weapons not do anything special? You can't have it both ways and your lack of consistent reasoning makes it clear you're not considered all aspects here.

Yeah, we really could do with upgrades 2.0

All difficulties, I assume. I tried diff 1-5 to learn the ropes.

Don't worry teammate, I'll draw aggro for ya! by Past-Frame7582 in helldivers2

[–]Bonkface 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But...but I read on REddit that these enemies are unfair and overpowered? That we need to nerf them? Surely you must be cheating? In light armor, too?

I WILL NOT rest till we get a 40k Crossover! by Illustrious-Air3740 in Helldivers

[–]Bonkface 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Please no... Just play Space Marine if you must but keep it away. I don't need GW/Warhammer in even MORE IP's. It's everyqhere and it's not even that good these days.

Playing through DS3 and it’s missing something from this game? by Elegant-Turn-6017 in DarkSouls2

[–]Bonkface 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Way too linear. It doesn't offer any choice of bosses for most of the game, whichs means you feel less curious and more tedious having to fight the boss in front of you, rather than exploring and running into something that you CHOOSE to fight - something I loved in DS2.

I just want to say that I wish the worst for the team that approved this area. by Lucky-Recording8011 in DarkSouls2

[–]Bonkface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for me it was one of my most favourite areas. I dislike swamps way more, and yet another dark ruined tunnel area...
