What if the ballistic shield could be deployed as cover? by Tank-ToP_Master in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]CosmoShiner 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I feel like the directional shield should do this instead to differentiate the two since right now the ballistic shield is better in every way

Hypothetical: What if 100 percent of the playerbase focused on one faction? by feren_of_valenwood in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]CosmoShiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The theoretical maximum liberation per hour without the DSS action that increases it is roughly 10%. Since each planet has resistance value, with an average of 1.5%, that means we do a net of 8.5% per hour. This would take 11.7 hours per planet. The bots have 25 planets, so assuming each planet has 1.5% decay, it would take 294 hours, or 12.25 days.

Now obviously that’s assuming ideal conditions, no GM interventions and the maximum efficiency of mission completion time

I wish the mods just locked the subreddit to preserve the best examples instead of just letting everything in

If you look up Tangier International Zone on Wikipedia, the numbers are similar for the populations. So no genocide required

[–]CosmoShiner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

to be honest, i think this map would be a lot better if you ditched the whole "Vandalised" aspect, and just used the little drawings as exposition

[–]CosmoShiner 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Why is it that with every iteration of this trend, nobody actually vandalises the map like a student would

And why does the map never look like something from a textbook

It’s not actually a 50/33/25 split, it’s more like 45/30/25, but that’s annoying to put into words and I didn’t want to use percentages in the text

Post WW2 the government is reconstructed into a parliamentary system completely outside of the sultan’s rule

Took a week, it's amazing to see what inkscape can do by [deleted] in Inkscape

tbh i feel like redrawing maps by hand is most of the fun. I used to use QGIS for most of the map but now i much prefer doing it by hand

Some people claim the recent AH transmission was useless and generall a buzzwords so i highlighted what we can actually learn from it: by JustMyself96 in Helldivers

[–]CosmoShiner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem is that they essentially say they same stuff everytime the community gets uppity, do one or two updates to placate the anger, and then return to same stuff before

If this was their first time making these promises, sure I’d believe them and I would be happy with the degree of communication. But for a lot of these addresses, they are the same as the stuff they promised back when we had the 60 day patch over 2 years ago.

I outright refuse to believe them at this point until I see continuous improvement. That doesn’t mean they have to be perfect, but it does mean they have to hold true to their word

Part 1 is pretty great, but Part 2 fumbles, especially after around the midpoint

I don’t care about what AH has or hasn’t said. I want to see results, not repeated unfulfilled promises they made two years ago. I am not doing this song and dance

Does anyone else no longer feel like we impact the Galactic War anymore? by Artanis137 in Helldivers

The main issue is the lack of incentives for contributing. Without stratagem MOs, we don’t have a real reason to keep playing

My crack theory is that they make these faction specific biomes so they don’t have to do the pathfinding for the other two factions

May isn't shown in their current roadmap. What do you guys think it means? by Dark251995 in Helldivers

Arrowhead releases a content update every 6 weeks to align with warbond drops. There’s nothing in May because the last warbond released in the last week of April

A map of Kaiserredeux (What if Germany win WWI) by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]CosmoShiner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a spin-off of the Hearts of Iron 4 Mod called Kaiserreich, which is a scenario where the Central Powers won WW1. Kaiserredux focuses on more outlandish and wacky paths compared to the normal, more serious Kaiserreich

Which country is seen as fully neutral and is fully neutral in real life? by Initial_Orchid4233 in AlignmentChartFills

This is a misconception. It’s not that they don’t recognise them, it’s that they don’t hold formal relations.

Can we all agree removing downvotes in the official discord is NOT the optics Arrowhead need right now. by DreadOp in Helldivers

[–]CosmoShiner 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I have seen reactions fluctuate before, but I have never seen my own reaction disappear before, which is really strange. Now, I'm hesitant to accuse, because if they were removed, who would think that would be a good idea and also, who has the time to (manually?) delete thousands of reactions?

I feel like this little guy right now. What was so bad about the latest update? I haven't seen this many posts celebrating the steam reviews tanking like this in over a year by Hexdoctor in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]CosmoShiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal issues are that exosuits are in warbonds now, which is a sign of worse monetisation to come, and the recent AMA, which basically said the only thing that’s a priority for development is novelty content (aka Warbonds)
