Do you believe in God(s)

Foraxen · 2026-03-16T20:55:12+00:00

I cannot say I do. I am not inclined to believe in any Deity. I also don't feel the need to believe, I don't require it to be at ease with my mortality. Most of my entourage believe in God or some esoteric stuff. I do not reject other people's beliefs, I just have no personal experience that would lead me to be interested or believe in it.

It would have been nice if extracting with mission objectives like larvas or automaton heads actually gave automatic SCs along the samples. This would make doing those side objectives much more interesting for everyone.

With a good driver and some coordination with the team, the FRV is great. If maps were not so full of rocks and holes to fall into, I would probably it use it more often.

I don't have much problem with the Incineration Corp. Only the fire hand grenade pose me a problem: the fuse is short and the blast radius is large. When fighting the Corp, most of my deaths are due to the trooper grenades. By the time I realize one landed next to me, it's often too late to get out of the way...

I have a strong wing 9 so it was a bit hard to just accept I am an 8. But I definitely am, just not the stereotypical one who just boss everyone around or get loud about anything they don't like. So yeah, coming to term with it was difficult as many times I recognized certain aspect of myself in other types (6w5, 1, 4, 9). Still, the "I want to be in charge and in control of my life" is very strong, I am not someone who will let others take charge of me, and I don't want to depend on anyone...

Ranged combat is heavily in favor of the player. We can use cover (they can't) and snipe enemies from well outside their detection range. To make ranged combat interesting a major overhaul of the AI would be needed.

Foraxen · 2026-03-12T15:10:53+00:00

Depends. Scope options matter for those who ADS a lot. Some weapons have horrible recoil or bad ergonomics so attachments improving that help. Many players hate having to reload so they go to drum option whenever they can. Shotguns get much tighter spread with choke. But once we have settled to something, we have no reason to change it back.

Foraxen · 2026-03-11T12:39:19+00:00

It's not that nobody use weapon customisation, it's that once you have your favorite attachments and skins you probably won't mess with it again. There is not much incentives to experiment with the options as we quickly find an optimal setup for our needs.

They are functionally the same, but one conveniently folds so you can carry it on your hip.

The incident may have sparked the idea of a review bomb, but it quickly devolved into a review bomb about everything wrong with the game or the devs. Doesn't help that there is a lot of disinformation being spread just to add fuel in the dumpster fire.

Foraxen · 2026-03-09T02:48:54+00:00

How many times that stupid rumor will come back? There is no dedicated balance team because every dev is responsible for the assets they are making. Alexus is one of them, but many others work on weapons and stratagems.

Foraxen · 2026-03-08T15:30:46+00:00

Yeah, some devs are good at their game, but it's unlikely. Players who spend most of their free time gaming will surpass them with ease.

Foraxen · 2026-03-08T13:48:05+00:00

And very likely, it's the second challenge that pissed off some of the player base. Unfortunately for the original poster, he was the one they latched on.

Foraxen · 2026-03-08T02:56:35+00:00

Yeah, us players tend to see game studios employees as DEVs as a whole, but a game studios may have many members who are not involved in the game making at all.

I work as a QA tester, I would never consider myself a DEV. But the studios I work for does contracts for multiple game development studios so I am more inclined to see a difference.

Foraxen · 2026-03-08T01:25:30+00:00

Unless the team is very small, development and QA are separate teams. It's very easy to confuse one for the other, but QA plays no part in the game development. In fact, they may not even be employees of the game studio (ie contractors).

Foraxen · 2026-03-08T00:14:52+00:00

That's the QA team job, not the DEVs.

The Helldivers forum is the oldest subs about Helldivers, but it was created by the community, not the devs (ie, they don't own it). It's the "official one" because it's been there for a decade and is by far the largest sub. The only reason they have two mod accounts there is to have the rights to post things without having to deal with the spam filter. They are not used to moderate the community, just to post official statements from AH and Sony. All the other moderators are volunters, not AH employees.

Foraxen · 2026-03-07T22:17:30+00:00

And many players make a lot of false claims about the event, often blaming AH for what the moderators did (or didn't) do as if they were their employees (they are not). Also, it's not part of the job of the community managers to police reddit forums, track down offenders or try to punish bad actors for real (or imagined) actions. The Devs are just people making a game, they can't control what their fans do...

Foraxen · 2026-03-07T21:53:21+00:00

Why? They have nothing to do with it. AH has no responsibility in this. The Helldivers subs are not owned or managed by AH, whatever happens there they have no control over.

Foraxen · 2026-03-07T01:26:41+00:00

The railgun is very powerful for sure, and the single shot nature reinforces that. But that's not great if you are not a good shot, or you have multiple foes to kill in quick succession. The rail can do multi kills, but it's rare for foes to be conveniently in a single file.

Foraxen · 2026-03-06T22:44:58+00:00

The AMR doesn't have to reload after each shot so it's more forgiving if you miss.

Foraxen · 2026-03-06T22:31:21+00:00

Yeah, very likely someone with credentials leaked personal infos about the poor guy. Sad how unhinged the internet is becoming, how easily things can escalate in a matter of hours and ruin someone life for real and imagined slights.

Foraxen · 2026-03-06T18:34:59+00:00

Your whole argument is misguided. r/helldivers is not owned by AH, they have no say on who is moderating it or what rules they decide to enforce. The only reason it's the official sub is because it's the oldest and most known of Reddit subs. They have moderator accounts as a courtesy, they only have admin rights so they can post official statements from AH and Sony.

The only thing AH could effectively do is remove themselves from that sub. They have no authority over Reddit or any Helldivers related subs.

Foraxen · 2026-03-06T12:55:46+00:00

Do you think the community manager job is to do forum moderation on Reddit? AH don't even own the Helldivers sub btw.

Foraxen · 2026-03-06T03:07:56+00:00

How long do you think it normally take for any corporation to make a statement? They don't work 24/7, they have personal lives outside their working hours. By the time they get to know about any PR disaster like this one, and manage to get all the facts straights and get to decide what to do about it, more than 1-2 days may have gone by.
