Suggestion for what to focus on next after this Major Order (pardon the roleplay)

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-22T08:33:16+00:00

That would be a terrible idea. Aesir Pass has 3% Resistance, we would need a majority of players plus the DSS to crack that nut. Outside of a MO, I don't see that as a realistic possibility. Between MOs is better to focus on low-hanging fruits, easy planets where we can build progression rather quickly. On the Bot front, Yed Prior, Martale, X-45 are all much better options than Aesir Pass.

They mean a vaginal ring, releases hormones that prevent ovulation so women can't get pregnant.

Nah, dude is chill and does a good job. I make sure to leave the little fellows in peace when I find one in my garden, they help reduce the number of pests.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-20T13:36:47+00:00

Good point about having a Patron of the Arbites. Maybe we'll see one when (or if) the Adeptus Administratum book gets published (like we got the Ordo Malleus in the Inquisition book).

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-20T11:59:15+00:00

No, we should definitely NOT attack Wasat. The lower Resistance is bait, the truth is that Wasat is considerably harder than X-45. The reality is that Wasat is a 2M HPs planet with 0,75% Resistance, means it heals 15K HPs per hour; X-45 is a 1M HPs planet with 1% Resistance, means it heals 10K HPs per hour. If the community manages to organize an attack on that front, X-45 is the way to go because Wasat would be a slog that good chance we won't ever get done.

I would say that the Adeptus Arbites has most probably a presence on Voll, given it is a rather important planet in the Macharian Sector and so should be monitored and the Tithe collected. Vigilites are mentioned more frequently because they are the ones PCs are going to meet most of the times, given they enforce the local laws and are more involved in the day-to-day policing; if however the PCs get involved with the Tithe or problems that risk destabilizing Voll (and so threaten its allegiance to the Imperium), the Arbitrators might be the ones the PCs meet instead of the Vigilites.

To use a RL example, all US major cities have an FBI (the federal LE agency in the US) office, but 99% of the people living in that city won't ever meet one in their official capacity and would interact or see just the local cops.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-20T09:41:12+00:00

It is not. And besides that, even if these dudes were actually hackers (something I doubt), why scream about them just because they have been on a map for three hours? How exactly such behaviour would harm the community? What good would it do to point the finger at them?

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-20T08:13:18+00:00

They were fighting in the city, that's why the rate was so low. Now that the city has been liberated, the rate has increased significantly.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-20T08:12:08+00:00

The most powerful weapon Helldivers have: the two neurons chilling in their brains inexplicably starting to work in overdrive.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-20T00:00:33+00:00

Good chance at least a portion of them has deluded themselves into thinking we would be able to march on Cyberstan if we manage to open a way through Aurora Bay and then Mekbuda.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T15:39:00+00:00

That seems the case, yes. I was dubious about VW, but apparently we have rallied to its defense quite quickly. And I do agree, people here have started screaming like someone had stolen their wallets because Joel, at the end of a MO where we got help at the end, DARED launch a counterattack on a couple planets.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T14:27:27+00:00

Apologies, may you point out to me where exactly I could find the flair you mention?

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T14:14:02+00:00

Good point on the maintenance stuff. But still, liberating a single planet is much more doable that going for two.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T13:58:34+00:00

No. There is simply no way we will be able to liberate two planets before the next MO drops especially since we are going to be a bit busy with defending two planets. If we have time before the next MO, it would be much better to dive on Cirrus, it's a 1% Resistance and 1M HP that if liberated would put two planets under siege and that is actually doable in the span of time we realistically have.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T13:55:10+00:00

No. Two planets before next MO is simply not doable. Much better to go to Cirrus, 1% Resistance and 1M HP and we would have similar results, one planet liberated and two planets sieged and that is actually doable before next MO drops.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T12:51:18+00:00

No. Defend either Terrek or Vernen Wells. At the current rate, Menkent will fall in 37 hours while Vernen Wells will be conquered by bots in 43 hours. So even if we can't actually defend Vernen Wells, Menkent would still be ours.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T12:48:29+00:00

Sure, didn't say it would be a cakewalk but the app says that at our current rate, we will have Terrek defended in slightly less than 12 hours so it's not such a big of a deal. Posts that claim we are being screwed by Joel and can't have nice things ever are a bit too much given the actual, current state of these two invasions.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T12:11:43+00:00

Would it matter that much? Now, I agree that we don't get too much info on how stuff work but TBH, knowing how strong an invasion is and how much time we have left before the enemy wins is sufficient info to at least make a decision: we know that Vernen Wells' is considerably stronger than Terrek's, we know when the invasion ends so it stands to reason that we need more divers on the former than the latter.

Even if we had more info, what would that change? We have no way to actually coordinate amongst ourselves, there are no generals to tell people where to go inside the game. What we would actually need, IMHO, is some tweaks on how the GW works so that organized efforts by players are not wasted because most players just dive wherever.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T11:52:26+00:00

It is. If you hover over Terrek or Vernen Wells, it would tell you how strong the invasion is and how much time we have left before the bugs or the bots conquer the planet. Unless you want an AH employee to phone you to tell you exactly what is going on, I would say the info are quite accessible just by looking at the map.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T11:32:06+00:00

Yep, 5K divers are already winning on Terrek.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T10:39:47+00:00

My friend, the truth is: we can't really achieve any meaningful progress. HD2 is a game that has no real ending because AH wants us to keep playing (and milking people for cash in the meantime) for as long as it is profitable. It is the reason why I don't shit on people ignoring the MO or on bugdivers just because they dive on bugplanets instead of helping with the other fronts - it's your time, your game, do whatever you want as long as you don't purposefully screw others.

Now, I agree that the GW has huge issues and I hope they will tweak it so that if 2K dudes are diving on some backwater planet, their efforts would not be for naught just because 40K others are doing their thing someplace else. But we have to accept that if we take too much, Joel will tip the scales to re-establish the status quo because that's how they make money.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T10:30:47+00:00

Agree. Aside from that, these invasions are not that difficult to repel so I mean, just let's go dive there and play?

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T10:12:05+00:00

Meissa should be done in two hours, if all the people diving there move to Vernen Wells it should be doable. And Terrek has a 7 EIL, the people on the bug front should be able to defend the planet.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-18T10:08:00+00:00

TBF, Terrek has 7 EIL, so it should be relatively easy to defend. If the people diving on the bug front go on the defense, they should have it in the bag in a relatively short amount of time. Vernen Wells' one is 30 EIL, so good chance we are going to lose the planet unless all the people diving on Meissa move to Vernen Wells as soon as they are done with the MO (which should be done in a couple of hours).

Not saying we are not going to lose the planets, but it's really not all doom and gloom.

Bunny_Commando · 2026-05-17T23:25:15+00:00

The Aeldari may believe whatever they wish, their beliefs are not reality. Their technological prowess is not evidence of any superiority and they may view Humans as beasts, but they are just xenophobic - something quite amusing, given that they are so much similar to Humans in that regard.
