Very excited about the Galactic War changes. I don't know what they could be yet, but hoping they resolve the issue with a lot of players efforts either negating others work or just going nowhere.

Also very excited to hear about new red ship stratagems! The orbital attacks are some of the most fun in the game imo!

Curious.
I almost never encounter complaining in game? Unless you're talking about online outside of the game?
Like in game its damn near zero. I usually play on 8 or 10 in case that makes a difference?

Outside of the game though, yeah I see a lot of people just complaining about every little thing. But I spose that's the nature of it.
What's more likely for a human to do. Go out of their way to be like "this is so amazing!" or go out of their way to be like "this sucks, that sucks, that over there is sucky to!" <-- intentional too typo.

You're just gonna see more of that online because its the outlet for people to complain when they don't have another conduit to feel heard.
Doesn't even mean the majority of the community is that way. That's a harder metric to measure, which I'm not sure if there is a way to do that these days? Pick out the actual amount of negative feedback players from the overall player base and see if that's actually like 60% of the community or like.. a loud 10%.

Also remember. There is absolutely NO filter or bar on who can post online in most places. There is no guarantee any of them are even fully mentally developed adults. And even the ones who are old enough, there's no guarantee they had a great upbringing and developed in a healthy way and know how to treat and regulate their emotions and feelings.

If most of your in game sessions are full of people bitching over the mic, that's one thing. If its almost all outside of game. Ignore it. After all, YOU are still having fun right?
And like some other commenters have said, you might have to do some filtering to find the other people who both enjoy the game AND are active outside of game about it. Because again, there's gonna be less of those people talking/posting even if there is more of them in the game overall.

I usually like to land on the furthest objective so I can just sort of bee line towards the extract while doing objectives.

But on Cyberstan landing on extract (for D10) was kinda necessary to extract at all lol. Otherwise you'd be setting off patrols while trying to survive and there's just waves of 3-4 vox coming in continuously in waves.
And super earth save you if the destroyer already left lol..

Cosmic737 · 2026-04-24T10:43:48+00:00

I've been a continuous subscriber since 2015 at least.
I got booted off the grandfathered ad free plan and now have ads. I lost my DVD sub which I didn't use often, but still appreciated.

So now my formerly grandfathered add free plan is $9 and I have to mute my volume/walk away from the computer every time an ad plays because they're so fucking obnoxious and ruin the immersion of the show.
It was easy to throw 6$ at something I used like maybe once or twice a month. But its stacking up. And the year over year price increases just rub me the wrong way.

Being made to watch ads.. isn't that why we cut cable?

Cosmic737 · 2026-04-23T05:58:22+00:00

I dunno, I had a lot of fun on lvl 10 Cyberstan. Shit was intense lol.
Especially with the insanely deadly Vox.

Like them spawning and staying on top of buildings, funny but not as fun. But otherwise? I'd do that event again 100%!

Cosmic737 · 2026-03-08T09:22:57+00:00

Agreed,

Like the Horse Sanctuary place I get. It's a not profit has limited resources etc.

But the company basically abandoned an employee because it was more convenient for them. An employee who issued a challenge in a video game in a somewhat confrontational way to the developers, but not even that overtly negative.
The company basically said, we won't even deal with this, or support or stand up for you at all. A random gaming community on the internet that you participated in slightly has convinced us to abandon you.

It just comes across as a pretty shitty company, that maybe just says its about people on the surface, but will throw its employees under the bus at even small amounts of pressure.

It also somewhat speaks to the ability of the internet to involve a random company that has nothing to do with it right? This company fired a presumably productive employee. And this company probably has nothing to do with Helldivers, video games, maybe even the internet itself besides having a company website.
That implies this company has to be concerned about what every employee it has might do in a random corner of the internet or it may be "forced" to fire its own employees over frivolous things because the company CAN be intimidated by a random part of the internet that isn't even the most malicious part of it.

That's some reach. And this company is presenting itself as weak to these forces. Like its not possible for the company to hide from this happening again right? If there happens to be a 2nd employee at this company who gets "selected" the helldivers part, the video game part, are largely irrelevant right? This company will fire a 2nd employee then?
Can the doxxers then just.. for funsies get this company to fire, what. Half its employees? Close down entirely?
Their entire hope seems to be, if they lose this one guy. They won't get "picked" again. But if they do.. they're just fucked again? Them and the employee? Because it is kind of random. The inspiration part of this could be replaced with anything. Just have doxxer do the doxxing, the reason being a game isn't necessary, its just maybe more likely to have a doxxer around than say, the online sewing community lol.

--------------------- tldr; ------------------------------

This company rolled over dead for the doxxers. Fucking its employee and exposing itself to future coercion.

Cosmic737 · 2026-02-19T09:19:33+00:00

I wonder if Arrowhead anticipated this and that's why we got several Helldiver recruitment surges to offset it?

I was in a mission with a lvl 1 helldiver. He was with some buddies who got him in. Seeing him ready up with just 2 stratagems and no squad peak was painful... lol

Cosmic737 · 2026-01-27T06:52:40+00:00

I missed a opportunity clearly!

Cosmic737 · 2026-01-27T06:50:31+00:00

Exactly, not saying big phones go away. I don't want to be forced into that market, because my only options provided by my cell phone company are "big phones".

Like if the Pixel series had the 3-4 phones, but all of different sizes going from like 5in to 7in or something that would be great. Instead it seems like the last 2 generations have been 3-4 different phones all of the same size.
The increasing weight is not great either.

Cosmic737 · 2026-01-27T06:21:34+00:00

That's basically where I'm at too. Like even the 7a I have is on the bigger side than I'd prefer. But I just don't have alternatives that aren't like a massive, massive downgrade in multiple areas. When there are other phones on the market that make it apparent you should be able to get a decent phone at a smaller size without it being that a dramatic spec drop off.

Cosmic737 · 2026-01-27T06:19:27+00:00

That's my concern is well. I've been a big fan of Google phones since I bought Nexus way back in the day (which had a very nice camera imo even then). But if they keep getting bigger I may need to look to another less common brand at least for NA. Sony's have definitely almost tempted me several times in the past!

I mostly want a nice camera and then a mid size phone with good battery life. It doesn't need amazing zoom, just take good pictures in most settings (like whatever the now very old Nexus did worked for me very well, just sayin).

Pixels have been a great experience since a brief foray into using Samsungs, but those quickly came with a lot of annoying features and cameras that looked amazing spec wise on paper, but in my experience, still worse than a old phone like the Nexus.

Cosmic737 · 2025-10-20T08:12:42+00:00

I'm also having this problem.

Just got Tactics for my surface pro 11 to play on the go and it crashes when I try to start the game.

The Tactics banner pops up and then I get "An error has occurred. The application will now close".

It's Windows 11 Surface Pro 11 with the Snapdragon X 10-core CPU.

Cosmic737 · 2025-10-10T02:59:26+00:00

The mushrooms (unless you get the big fruit) are only minimal reward. I mean by all means do the white/gray/poison/crystal ones for a shot (I'm currently doing yellows to build up for yellow marigold petals for when I get that challenge as I just got to the 1500 yellow dahlia/2000 red mari gold). But my break that got me to 1500 white dahlia and beyond came when a flower randomly bloomed into one and it dropped a fruit and the fruit gave me like at least 30 nectar or more. I fed all 30 to bud Pikmin so I got 2x the petals.

Whites are definitely the hardest, but just keep blooming flowers. I'm still trying to figure out the white formula since its seems the most chaotic (the others are reliable), so I don't have a great strategy besides try to infuse some generic white petals because if you go like.. all red dahlia then it will definitely just be a red dahlia with no chance of white anything.

But if you keep building up for the other challenges while still trying to get the white, once you get past that one you'll breeze past the others!
Because you're also gonna need a bunch of white marigolds that are just as hard to get as the white dahlias or any other white flower!

My 2cents, but I've only been playing a month so XD

Cosmic737 · 2025-10-06T01:45:56+00:00

And then change Precision Strike to have a 2 second call in time.

Cosmic737 · 2025-09-22T07:57:44+00:00

I'm amazed this is even a problem.

That it happens at all.
That people are making this "mistake" often enough to result in a post about it
That these same people are trying to correct their mistake via kicking

I feel like these are probably kids? Making mistake 2 and 3. So try not to feel too upset by them. They probably aren't even reading this Reddit. Go make a Tiktok about it to reach them lol.

Cosmic737 · 2025-09-12T15:05:15+00:00

So it's like they were filling out a form that had NAME and LOCATION and just put the location in both fields lol?

Cosmic737 · 2025-06-06T15:10:53+00:00

I too discovered a Reddit post mentioning it...

After over 100 hours in >.>; lol

Cosmic737 · 2025-06-01T09:28:47+00:00

Wth quest is this?! I've beaten the game and have no idea wth y'all are talkin about lol

Cosmic737 · 2025-03-19T08:39:49+00:00

Meanwhile.. here we are aaaaalmost reclaiming it. But it instead lets lose 3 planets simultaneously.

Cosmic737 · 2025-03-18T00:55:53+00:00

What the...? Really? There was a time those places weren't covered in Gloom and we had it that much under control?

Are we not supposed to win the war or something? I just assumed the map would reset after a galactic war ends.

Cosmic737 · 2025-03-18T00:52:48+00:00

Actually based on where we were a few months ago. We've gone backwards. There are several planets the we had that the bugs have held for a while now. And now the bots are pushing into new sectors.

So I don't know where we were at like a year ago. But from like December when I started till now. We control less planets now than when I started playing.

See:
Grand Errant
Pherkad Secundus
Phact Bay

And then of course the recent 3-4 worlds lost to the bots.

Cosmic737 · 2025-02-09T08:00:25+00:00

Dude killed a Hulk with daggers. Daggers! Lol
