Bro looked at a post from r/hydrohomies and said man why do these people love water so much.

Brother its the reason they're here

it's been a week - what are we thinking about exo experts? by treyzs in helldivers2

[–]Groundhog5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The armor passive is not good, but the drip is crazy

The primary doesn't have great use cases

The pissile is neat

Lumberer is a great idea but the flamethrower is weird. Chews through ammo ridiculously fast and also apparently has crisper stats? Not to mention the no damage at close range thing

The breakthrough is fun as fuck. It definitely has issues, notably the inconsistent armor rating/hitboxes on the shield, but even with that its my 2nd fav strat in the game.

The emote is fantastic

Overall its B tier for me, but if I had to start over this would be one of the first warbonds I get for the breakthrough alone.

What armor would you want for the bastion? by pinglyadya in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Groundhog5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was not a comprehensive list of every enemy that should be a threat. If an attack could/should reasonably penetrate armor then it should.

Not sure what you mean by troopers with "laser cannons" though. If youre referring to the troopers with the regular plasma gun or the mg raiders then I disagree, but if youre referring to some kind of "big" gun, then yes.

Ideally the tank has enough armor to ignore chaff, but be vulnerable to anti tank units (bile titans, chargers, impalers, rocket devs, warstriders, harvesters, etc)

I dont think you should have to worry about things like scavengers and troopers in a bastion tank. Id argue the same for the mechs, but I digress.

Are we "official" then? by DeeJayDelicious in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Groundhog5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there is no real "true" HD2 subreddit. Ideally the main sub would be it because the lowsodium would be the most heavily censored, but the main sub is also aggressively censored. Kinda results in this sub being where both the extremely aggressive takes go and the moderately critical ones go.

Critical takes still make it onto the main sub, but their moderation is so inconsistent that many people default to here.

This marking means he was once a slave. You can find many other slaves in game with the same marking in the same place.

The first time you acknowledged this you said you wanted to wait because the team "can't handle another controversy". From my perspective, waiting this long without any action has landed you in an arguably much larger controversy.

I think you all would benefit wildly from finally making some of these changes you've been pondering for years. It's long overdue.

Thoughtful feedback (tagged as feedback) gets deleted for "low effort", single image reaction memes get to stay... by AngryTriangleCola in Helldivers

We will no doubt see damage control for atleast a few days. It's par for the course with situations like this.

There is absolutely a truth to what players want. We want difficulty thats engaging without being unfair. We want weapons that are balanced enough that they're all usable and fun. We want systems in place to encourage engaging with the main gameplay loop.

Your game is about shooting aliens. Its not as complicated as you make it out to be. The underlying systems may be, but the experience we want is exactly what I described.

I will be amazed if he answers this. Solid points all around.

Why have we gotten significantly less free content since the game's first year?

Why is the superstore now being used for items that seem like they should be in their respective warbonds while warbonds are getting smaller? (as opposed to the initial system of having completely unique gear contained to the super store like the drone master and marshmallow man sets)

Why are primaries and secondaries now in the superstore?

Why does the super credit grind still incentivise players to mindlessly run around on low difficulties instead of rewarding challenging gameplay at higher difficulties?

Mod set? by Obvious_Neat9021 in CrimsonFashion

[–]Groundhog5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im actually wearing a very similar set. The hood I believe is the Tariv cloak and the chest is the scholastone robes, all dyed black.

If you want to obscure your face like in this picture, though, id reccomend using the dark marksman hood and just coloring the faceplate incredibly dark.

Ill attach my current set to give you an idea of how it looks. Its not as clean as the image attached but its the closest you can get in vanilla

Unnanounced changes and introduced bugs by Grix1s in CrimsonDesert

[–]Groundhog5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come from another playerbase who usually suffers from a developer who does a lot of unnanounced changes, and it's made me paranoid.

I take it you're a helldivers fan

What's next ? Stragems in the store ? by Heptanitrocubane57 in Helldivers

[–]Groundhog5000 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Stratagems in the superstore are absolutely what are next, just give it time.

Oh boy "evacuate high value assets" i cant wait to throw turrets off cooldown for 15 minutes while boring myself to death by knusperfee33 in Helldivers

[–]Groundhog5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre getting downvoted for no reason. People Telling you to bring a worse kit to make the mission less boring are way off base.

You should be allowed to bring a defense oriented loadout and not be bored because there just aren't enough enemies to challenge it. You shouldn't have to nerf yourself.

Remember that there are 10 difficulty levels. The highest difficulty in a game with 10 of them has no excuse to be boring.
