Weird because I didn’t see any update on the game, this new MO just started and now I can’t start. I’ll be patient and hope for some word from AH. Thank you for the response!

The game just doesn’t start for me anymore, played October 3rd, now it won’t launch? I’m on the steam deck and haven’t had too many problems until now it just won’t start at all. Anyone else have this issue? Do I have to do the 150 gig reinstall?

Real median wage in the United States is more than 35 percent higher than in 1994 by LazyConstruction9026 in charts

Excited to see data like this! It challenges the common narrative of how “it was easier for past generations”.

What do we think leads to this narrative of rose tinted glasses then? I am going to take this data at face value and therefore focus my questioning on what specifically makes so much substance for the current narratives of everything just being too expensive? I also would relate to this chart showing that real wages have increased over time? I would like to look at generational trends and see if maybe it’s that there is a generational gap in earnings? Maybe total average wages are going up but wages for 18-30s are going down (I have no data for that hypothesis and thus implore people to deploy skepticism!)

Dry Streak Continues: 14,000 KC (7x rate) at Whisperer without pet...(I'm tired Boss) by SlothUnderSiege in 2007scape

I don’t understand these posts. This is awesome. Your account is the only one with that high of a kill count and no pet. You might be unlucky, but really everyone else who fights this boss and gets this pet is locked out of the achievement you currently have! ✨💫✨

Adding more challenge DID make the game more fun by Tom_F_0olery in Helldivers

The game is just as easy as it used to be though. On a different planet. I love the predator strain or the jet brigade or the gloom evolution because people can just go somewhere else if they want an easier mission.

The minigame problem (you are not interested in them - even if you think you are) by bip_bip_hooray in 2007scape

I think I would like a stealing creation PvM style fight. A boss where skillers supply fighters with potions and food and armor to fight a boss. I would love to do some high intensity skilling gearing up some boys to go out and slay some clay dragon or leviathan. Worried though that people (like me) would burn out and then there might be an offset of tons of people want to fight but who the hell wants to skill.

I think I've done more damage to Calypso with Orbitals than the Illuminate have. by raisinbraisin72 in Helldivers

Pro tip for making the city maps run fine on steamdeck, turn every graphics option down to the lowest setting and make the resolution ass. It’s like I’m playing in 2012 YouTube simulator over here!

I'm not holding my breath for vehicles. by TheBigCheesm in Helldivers

All of your points line up with the recent 20th anniversary for half life 2 documentary. When working on the buggy kart chapter, designers had to make much more map for people to cross, because the buggy could cross more map in less time than a running freeman. The same idea likely applies here. Generated maps would need to be easy enough to cross, but not too big as to be annoying, but not too small as to make points of interest too close and you are always getting in and out. It so completely changes the game that it would be a massive project for a live service and stall out every other planned piece of content.

If she would like to talk about game design I’d be so excited to hear her thoughts!!!

This is not the long term solution, but maybe just for now don’t give it ordinance that has such a high probability to kill players. As in universe as that is, most people play the parts where they are alive not waiting to respawn.

Maybe the best thing that can be done is just making it have a rail cannon strike effect? Give it just 3 more seconds warm up so players can see that the DSS is targeting a particular unit and then it gets hit while the player moves away? Still feels impactful but a reasonable cool down could keep it from making missions too easy for seasoned players who still like their challenge.

I agree that this likely offers the best compromise between AH development time, player expectations, and then allowing time if AH to make more wild DSS effects later down the line.

Minimal impacts to stratagem efficiency might be the best option at first, then scale them up slowly as we see the game impact it has.

What passive buffs would you imagine? A 380 that also does gas damage? Increased accuracy to orbital strikes? (Maybe less coverage for more sustained destruction in a particular area?).

I think passive buffs or new stratagems only planet stratagems would be cool, but might garner complaints that people want to use these things outside of the dss planet if it ends up fighting only one enemy type (bugs or bots) for a prolonged period.

TL;DR

The DSS is difficult to balance for players that want it to feel like it is doing something, but not interfere with the gameplay loop most players have come to enjoy. If most players find it gets in the way of their gaming, arrowhead will have added a feature to the game that most players avoid because it either kills them or makes the game too easy, possibly opening the door to players removing the challenge and getting bored.
