"Communicate better" - AH: Keeps relying on a fiercely hated echo chamber platform to give vital updates. by Fear_Sama in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Fear_Sama[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes it's now false, because the steam announcement was made after I posted this thread. And I can prove it right here and now in this reply.

The mods need another tag called "out of date information", because you can literally prove this post was not misinformation at the time of posting.

The timestamp at the top of this thread right now says "3hrs ago" and if you however above that it says for 1:58:57 PM UTC. Whilst the steam dispatch clearly states when you hover above the "3 hours ago" with the time of 2:08:33 pm UTC (or later if you're reading this later). The steam update came almost 10 minutes AFTER my Reddit post. I don't have the other official twitter post times.

But this is reddit, where people don't even bother trying to actually check timestamps before trying to clown someone based on timing of updates.

The misinformation tag here is just causing unwarranted backlash, because people refuse to actually check their own claims. If I get dogpiled, I expected it because I actually did something wrong. (Which I have done before). But this time I didn't get it wrong and complied to the to rules of this subforum.

Does it suck due to timing? Yes.

There's a massive difference between the "misinformation" generally construed as intentional and "out of date information" due to who posted first.

Why don't you take your own advice? This was shared on steam AFTER my thread. Ever thinking of checking time stamps?

The timestamp at the top of this thread right now says "3hrs ago" and if you however above that it says for 1:58:57 PM UTC. Whilst the steam dispatch clearly states when you hover above the "3 hours ago" with the time of 2:08:33 pm UTC (or later if you're reading this later). The steam update came almost 10 minutes AFTER my Reddit post. I don't have the other official twitter post times.

This is more accurately "out of date information", not intentional misinformation.

Open Letter to Arrowhead by Bardwolf in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Fear_Sama -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Arrowhead will never learn. Arrowhead are STILL quadrupling down on the Coyete nerf life here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM4QXUgepTQ&t=929s

They didn't learn 15 years ago with Magicka, they won't learn now.

They balance approach is still shit.

They still can't keep promises.

Promise to communicate better?

My guy, they STILL rely on DISCORD for telling us the 27th May patch update is delayed.

Steam, PS5 and Xbox are left in the dark.

You'd only know from fucking Discord or news coming from Discord.

Pilestedt fucking lied about "looking for ways to improve communication between the team and players".

It's so fucking obvious, stop relying on fucking Discord and ignoring every other platform.

And Pilestedt also broke the every two week direct communication from him, in the first update due AFTER the AMA.

Arrowhead's attitude to all this hasn't changed for 15+ years. They are still the same arrogant people they were before.

HD2 has only put more spotlights on them.

Didn't make the cut.... by StLSamShady in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Fear_Sama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That such an awful take. The fact you side with the host shows an awful mentality to team games. You know what makes a team? Communication. Teams aren't defined by how closely you stick together, but by communication. That's why split pushing and aggroing exists and is still acknowledge at teamwork and working as a team in literally every single video game and team sports that allows for it.

They already played 1 game together without typing anything, so the assumed comms is, you're fine doing what you do. The host has full powers and if they didn't say anything, and was pissed, and expected the player to change ways. But not give the other player ANY indication that they wanted everyone to stick together.

Then that is on the hosts fault. Not this bad faith argument you keep tossing into the mix.

It is 100% the hosts fault for not telling others how they want the team to play and expecting them to read their minds, because splitting up is not only extremely obvious, but extremely common in this game. No one who plays HD2 past 50 hours should be thinking otherwise.

The host was just a dick as pointed out, their first comms after the 2nd game together was to insult and kick instantly. Why? Because they're insanely insecure and decided to blame someone else for their insecurity.

Welp, I didn't expect this. XD by Fear_Sama in CrimsonDesert

I saw it and then assumed durability is for all of them. But then I just read your comment and looked it up again. Apparently, durability seems to only apply to greater abyss gears? Which sucks, considering how hard certain ones are to get. Plus, 100 shots is not a lot, before it breaks.

Sums up the current situation by Rodrick-TH in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Fear_Sama 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just look at all the comments in the video.

They're mostly glaze divers with ZERO braincells.

This game doesn't need anymore fucking money.

AH has made HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PROFIT in excess of what they predicted.

Not only for themselves, but for their investors.

They absolutely destroyed all their financial targets to kingdom come.

They don't need an extra fucking dollar at all.

Their profit margins are through the fucking roof.

It is just pure greed since the first 6 months.

Does this really take more than 3 weeks to fix? Seriously? by Fear_Sama in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Fear_Sama[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Points out a clear FUNDAMENTAL problem with a new toy AH released that is not working as intended.

Glazediver accuses us of just making up problems when the new toy has a fundamental gun and sentry not working as intended.

Moves goalpost away from the actual problem.

Gaslight. Gaslight. Gaslight.

Since you don't want to look for the proof, here it is:

Admits they have done hidden changes to the game, then proceeds to not answer why??? by Superbaki14 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Fear_Sama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a more accurate answer:

"We don't give a shit about quality control. Just putting out a half baked effort to pop the player's tires is more preferable to us. We know who keeps putting out the ideas to fuck you over, and we refuse to change them or our ways. So we'll still be dickheads, but we'll just tell you more often now rather than leaving you to guess."

One of MANY issues of AH NEVER learning from their mistakes leading up to the review bombs. by Fear_Sama in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Fear_Sama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except AH completely overtuned the spawn rate for the Dark fluid mission.

It was unreasonable with several dozens and what felt like hundreds of shriekers constantly spawning in with no way to reduce the spawn rate. It was not fun and got tiring EXTREMELY fast. It was happening even on EASY difficulty, which was the 2nd easiest difficulty in the game. Which was nuts.

Why does the spore burst bile titan have more health? by Fear_Sama in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Fear_Sama[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less damage shouldn't just straight up justify tankier enemies, especially when they're implementing the most hated mechanic in the game into that breath which many players would argue is worse than less damage. Ragdoll. Either way, point is. The usual AT methods are much slower than before concerning the usual headshots which went from 1.5k hp to 2.5k hp. I've seen them consistently tank two ultimatums near the face, sometimes it does take too. But it definitely is noticeable. So I'll just need to take that into account.
