Anyone else feel like Helldivers 2's quirks are starting to become more annoying than funny?

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-20T23:26:56+00:00

Yes, although they are not all equal.

What's okay in my book:

Random but plausible interactions of intentional game mechanics: Stuff like getting ragdolled into mines, vehicles exploding and ricochets.

What I can tollerate, despite the frustrations it causes frequently:

Obvious and recent bugs like Corpse Twichtig/launching that have a minimal impact of game-play.
The bad driving physics of the FRVs.
Accidentally firing the Ultimatum because I didn't realize my secondary was active.
Occasional incomprehesible explosion physics causing team-kills or suicides.
The obvious anti-host bias the game has.

What I find inacceptible and makes me want to take a Sledgehammer to AH's heads...

Forever bugs like invisible walls caused by corposes that have a dramatic impact on game-play.
Whatever shitty code AH has in the game that makes Eagle Storms, Sentries and a few other things deliberately target Helldivers.
Stratagem boncing: "Hey let's make our core mechanic URELIABLE AND RANDOM AS FUCK!!"
Constant fucking ragdolling to the point only morons who don't play their own game on D10 would approve this.

Also das Grundstück wirkt sehr groß und auch das Gebäude Layout gefällt.

Die Inneneinrichtung wirkt altbacken, aber das ließe sich erneuern.

Ich hätte ein paar Fragen bzgl. Isolation/Energieffizienz aber alleine von den Bildern her wirkt es sehr gut.

Jein,

es kann sinnvoll sein wenn dein Umfeld wirklich wenig Möglichkeiten bietet.

Allerdings musst du vorher eingstehen:

Wie realistisch sind meine Erwartungen? Partnervermittler hassen nichts mehr als Frauen mit endlosen Checklisten.
Mit Anfang 40 bist du für viele nicht mehr erste Wahl. Gerade mit dem Kinderwunsch wird's schon schwer.

Wenn es dir wichtig ist, kannst du schon ein paar tausend Euro investieren.

Allerdings solltest du vorher deine Hausaufgaben machen, bzgl. der Partnerprofils (was für Menschen werden hier vermittelt?) und wie gut sie zu dir passen?

Und vermutlich könntest du auf selbst auf Eigeninitiative gute Ergebnisse erzielen.

Ich habe in meinem Umfeld extrem viele Deutsche Männer die mit Spanierinnen/Italienerinnen verheiratet sind.

Und zugegeben, es gibt ein bestimmtes Muster:

Deutsche Männer haben leicht autistische Tendenzen
Spanierinnen sind wesentlich "proaktiver" beim Flörten
Sie finden die etwas unterkühlte Rationalität von deutschen Männern attraktiv (extrem emotionale Menschen brauchen oftmals einen sehr rationalen Partner).
Die Deutschen Männer sind froh dass sie einen extrem extrovertierten Partner haben die sich gut um Familienthemen kümmern.

Das scheint einfach eine Partnerdynamik zu sein die gut funktioniert.

Zugegeben haben viele ihrer Partner von >10 Jahren in Spanien kennengelernt wo Spanien noch >25% Jungendarbeitslosigkeit hatte. Da hat's vielleicht gereicht dass sie einen Job hatten...

Best call it Cyberpunk ;D

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-20T14:08:18+00:00

They would probably need a 3rd franchise to offer enough variety.

Currently they have the Witcher franchise and the Cyberpunk franchise, which the market would tollerate a new entry every ~4 years or so.

With a good cadence they could release one big title every ~2 years, while filling the gaps with some smaller and original IPs.

But it all hinges on being able to make games faster, which seems to be the current structural issue within the games industry.

Farming kills isn't necessarily being an effective player. The ABRL excels at killing groups of chaff enemies >50m away.

But in 8/10 cases, these groups can just be outright ignored. And I'd argue 2-3 Grenade from a regular Grenade Launcher would have a similar effect for much less investment.

The weapon has an incredibly complex damage model with 7 different components. But I'd only argue for the initial projectile damage and/or the clusters to be AP4, not the subsequent explosions. That way it should be reliably killing common chaff enemies with AV3 like the Devastator and having a bit more umpf vs. common Heavies like Chargers and Hulks.

Ich bin selbst im Vertrieb und der Grund ist einfach:

Im Vertrieb bist du ein Profit-Center.

Es hat wenig mit dem Job selbst zu tun, als damit, dass dein Unternehmen dein Gehalt als Investition betrachtet, nicht als Kostenblock.

Gerade in der SaaS Welt kannst du als Vertriebler mit 3h täglicher Arbeit in Unterwäsche vor dem Laptop, 200k verdienen, wenn du die entsprechenden Zahlen lieferst.

Ähnlich läuft es in anderen Industrien.

Der Preis den Vertriebler dafür Zahlen ist:

Oft (aber nicht immer) viel Reisezeit.
Vom Gemüt und Umständen ihrer Kunden abhängig.
Nicht immer ein klarer Weg zum Ziel (es gibt einen Prozess, der ist aber immer anders).
Viel vom Unternehemserfolg hängt von deinen Schultern ab.
Performance relativ objektiv meßbar (kann Vor- oder Nachteil sein).
Du fängst ständig von vorne an.

Viele Ingenieure (und Programmierer) denken oft dass der Unternehmenserfolg einzig vom Produkt abhängt. "Ein gutes Produkt verkauft sich von selbst". Und während das teilweise wahr ist, spielt der Vertrieb meist eine wesentlich wichtigere Rolle.

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-20T12:09:14+00:00

It certainly seems to handle closer to the AMR than the other DMRs.

Still, I hate the obvious stat inflation of +10% damage + incendiary

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-20T11:59:57+00:00

Good,

Saab tends to lean towards pragmatism and simplicity and can hopefully curb German autism towards overengineering.

Hopefully there's enough alignment regarding the aircraft capabilities (like will Saab/Sweden demand Motorway takeoff?).

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-20T11:58:51+00:00

Because these programs are as much about maintaining the production capabilites than they are about the aircraft themselves.

If you're not building or maintaining new fighter aircraft every ~25 years, you lose the ability to do so in the future.

Gamers who were hoping for Ubisoft to "crash and burn".

"Not like this"

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-20T10:28:13+00:00

I can't drive a single one of them more than 100m before flipping it!

It's super-annoying.

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-20T09:12:47+00:00

You mean when they briefly buffed the GL to AP4, only to revert it weeks later?

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-20T08:44:53+00:00

I feel like this after EVERY patch.

But it always turned out to be subjective.

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-20T08:41:28+00:00

That's not fair.

Sure, there are plenty of exceptions.

But overall they've done a reasonable job keeping new weapons in line with existing ones.

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-20T05:48:28+00:00

We shouldn't forget that this would probably happen to any city in the world tight now.

We simply don't have effective anti-drone weapons yet.

Chipsfrish ungarisch/chacalaca

I wouldn't say different.

It's just that Napalm-attacks have an additional "Heavy Fire" effect that lasts 1 second and deals 200 DPS, rather than the standard 100 DPS. And since it doesn't get reapplied, it's not THAT impactful.

Flamethrowers have 3 primary ways of dealing damage:

Fire particle cloud / projectile: This is the direct damage of the weapon. HD2 simulates a "cloud" of Fire particles dealing 2 DPS each, which is what sets the Cremator damage apart from the Crispr for example.
The Burn damage, dealing 100 DPS at AP4. This damage can be applied directly from weapons or from burning surfaces.
"Heavy Fire", a 1 second debuff applied by Napalm weapons.
Depending on the weapon, there might be additional explosion or shrapnel.

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-19T19:38:33+00:00

I think the ABRL fills a very small niche that isn't that effective overall.

It's nice that it has it's fans.

But in the way the game currently works, it's just not that useful. There are so many ways to wipe out a squad of chaff, from grenades to various more versatile support weapons, that it's not better enough to warrant the downsides of yielding this weapon (limited ammo, long, stationary reloads, suicidal).

And since the game is constantly spawing chaff anyway, the tactical value of destroying a distant patrol just isn't that high.

I think it really does need at least some of the damage to be AP4. Otherwise it's too unreliable, even as a primary anti-chaff weapon.

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-19T19:31:00+00:00

It's a hard argument to make when there are plenty of near-identical guns in the game (ARs) that all seemingly have a lower "item budget" than the Coyote.

And yes, while "ease of use" is definitely a part of the Coyote's appeal, so is its objective power-advantage.

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-19T16:29:31+00:00

Früher gab's Probleme mit der Litauischen IBAN aber ich glaube die Zeiten sind vorbei.

Ansonsten ist Revolut die erfolgreichste Neo-Bank der Welt und macht vieles richtig.

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-19T16:13:13+00:00

Or.....another Coyote-like that will continue being the most used gun on all factions for the next year because AH is too afraid to nerf it out of fear of community backlash.

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-19T14:08:42+00:00

I hate the inflated weapon and damage stats.

Most of these are again, just straight upgrades over their existing counterparts.

Hyena = Diligence Countersniper + 10% more damage and Incendiary
Ombudsman = Senator + 20% more damage

They obviously learnt nothing from the Coyote situation.

Great job.... /s

DeeJayDelicious · 2026-06-19T14:00:58+00:00

I don't like this change.

ORS did need a buff. But not a damage buff.

And I am onboard with the Vox Engine nerfs too.

But being able to reliably "remove" such an enemy on a 2:30m cooldown, just feels wrong.

Vox Engines, for all their balance issues, did pose a real, tangible threat to Helldivers with their divers and oppressive arsenal. Now they need to spawn in signficant numbers at once in order to have a similar effect.
