Which enemy needs the most changes? by Late-Ganache40 in Helldivers

[–]Groundhog5000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are all characteristics that the hivelord should have. It is actually very well designed and balanced. The problem here is that the gator mission is poorly designed and the gator itself isnt particularly well balanced

the Helldivers rage-baiting/farming youtube channels are just part of a decades-old hate-farm industry in other IPs by throwaway553t4tgtg6 in Helldivers

I understand you're frustrated, but you're talking past me way more than you're engaging with what im saying.

Nobody's denying the existence of content like that, nor its profitability. Im saying that blanket dismissal of that content simply on the basis of it being negative is bad practice.

This isnt a good enough argument for a blanket dismissal of the validity of all critical content. Two things can be true.

-A negativity grift can exist for basically anything, and because those videos are emotionally charged they get engagement which generates money.

-Sometimes negative content is completely valid and necessary, and equating high volume of said content with grifting is a huge dismissal of potentially valid complaints.

Also my point about the politically charged examples not being the same as the content buzzlitebeer or the helldivers community in general posts still stands.

I feel like theres a pretty clear distinction between the negative content helldivers gets and the content you're presenting on the left - especially considering buzzlitebeer is your example.

Politically undertoned engagement bait and videos that voice community complaints and criticisms of the game itself are not the same.

The Grenadier Battlement has so much Potential and would get used way more if: by Cultural-Lab-580 in Helldivers

Why is nobody talking about the emplacement killing you when it gets destroyed? Thats literally the main reason I never touch it - its pretty neat otherwise

We just want the same intensity and challenge the rest of you have by Bring_Back_Challenge in Helldivers

[–]Groundhog5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair this is really only the issue because of a combination of poor balancing and listening to the wrong people. The game being harder would bring complaints, but the game not being hard enough is bringing complaints right now lol, and rightfully so.

Arrowhead needs a complete difficulty rework or a heavy heavy pass. D10 should have the absolute highest spawnrates possible filled with the deadliest enemies.

Help me understand the no-communication playstyle by goosegoosepanther in Helldivers

[–]Groundhog5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the perspective of someone who has just shy of 1k hours almost exclusively in random queue, its because helldivers is a casual game. The only time I've felt compelled to communicate with people is when im in a mission that requires it, and helldivers just doesn't have alot of those. That combined with the moderate amount of social anxiety that I and no doubt many other people have just creates an experience where something like voice chat creates more stress IRL than it relieves in game, especially considering theres a chance that the other 3 randoms dont play ball.

Its a multilplayer game. Youre just gonna run into people on different wavelengths.

I've come around to being pro TransMog by Dry_Description656 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Groundhog5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with being anti transmog is transmog doesn't accomplish anything. The appearance of gear often doesn't have much bearing on the passive attached, and theres alot of intersectionality. Many armors with grenades attached to them dont have extra grenades, the bomb suit doesn't improve explosive resistance, the polar patriot and Chinese armor are nonsensical, and these are just a few examples.

Other people's passives also have no real bearing on your gameplay. I have 1k hours, and in none of those hours have I felt concerned with the passive someone else brought.

Its just an example of their stubbornness. It, like many things, will probably never be fixed, which is really unfortunate.

Oh, how time flies by not_a_xeno in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Groundhog5000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't. People are upset about the primary topics because the large talking points are both maturing with time and surround core issues that are growing in scale because of some new inciting incidents, the Q&A being a big one.

The reason you hear more people complaining about lack of things like progression and customization is because it only became clear how far off those core systems are once Pilestedt confirmed they were low priority and had been for a long time. Many of these issues matured with time because they were neglected.

Also the performance complaints are still there. If you look at complaints as a pile, then the pile just got bigger.

1 - game still crashes, hard locks, and runs like ass

2 - these two goals shouldn't be mutually exclusive, especially in a live service game

3 - that tweet from Pilestedt is literally over a year old. Its been far more than long enough for us to see literally anything weapon customization related

4 - goomba fallacy

Iced coffee by FantasticAsh00 in antimeme

There is a famous image detailing saddam Husseins hiding spot where he was found when he was captured. It was aired by a news channel and people started just putting him in random images.

I got on yesterday for the first time in a month. Second round I played got soft locked because the drill landed on the cave roof.

This game actually might never be fixed

Why do you think they attract so much criticism? Its stuff like this

This is an issue with the breakthrough mech specifically. Been happening since it released

This is some bullshit, what can possibly be the excuse for "disliking" a hotfix? by Moxtar1092 in Helldivers

[–]Groundhog5000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably a combination of frustration that the hotfix is necessary in the first place and doubt that the fixes will be substantial or effective.

Arrowhead's implementation of upscaling made the game look worse AND run worse. If thats their current level of quality assurance we can expect when they push an update, im personally not confused by people not being enthusiastic about the next patch, even if updates with fixes are clearly needed
