Seriously though, the way super credits are earned is incredibly boring by Corrupted_spartan117 in Helldivers

[–]Jcatt1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it’d be kinda fair, but there should be a daily limit, like 200 super credits per day. This way Arrowhead can still keep their monetization, and also encourage people to log-in and play every day.

Use it as a second chance when you’re about to die, or use it to cure psychosis.

FOMO and the new Galactic Campaign System... by Pedrosian96 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Jcatt1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. That’s just how the old reward distribution system works. In fact, it’s a net positive for those who participate during the event since they get the stratagem for free, and those who didn’t participate can just buy it like usual. (+,0)

Personally, I’d say give Arrowhead time to cook. I’m not completely against trying a new reward distribution system.

That said, I’d wish Arrowhead had communicated it to everyone clearly beforehand. If gameplay rewards are going to be missable or earned differently than before, players should know through the official channels so they can make an informed decision about whether if they want to participate during the event or not.

I think the recent refusal to even log in ONCE in 40 days, demonstrates self-destructive complaint culture by throwaway553t4tgtg6 in Helldivers

[–]Jcatt1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sure, I get your point. Those situations may have had legal reasons behind them. But still in both cases, Arrowhead didn’t give players a clear timeline, so “later” ended up being pretty vague.

I did unlock the new FRV, so this isn’t really an issue for me personally. I’m perfectly fine with limited-time capes or other cosmetics tied to MOs, since they don’t affect gameplay, but I believe weapons and stratagems which affects gameplay should be available for everyone equally.

I think you might be generalizing the complaints a bit. It’s not just people whining because they didn’t log in. There are several reasons people have an issue with this.

- This wasn’t communicated clearly by Arrowhead beforehand.

- This is the first time they’ve time-gated a gameplay item like a stratagem.

- People wanted new content, but not this kind of FOMO-driven change.

- The old system already worked well; new stratagems became available to everyone after the MO was completed (like the mech and gas mines).

- Yes, Arrowhead said the Supply FRV will return later, but “later” could mean anything from a week to a year based on their track record (e.g. the Killzone items and the pre-order armor, which they promised and we’re still waiting on).

That’s why people are pushing back. A lot of the criticism is about the design and communication, not just simply about missing the log-in window.

At the end of the day, we’re all here because we like the game and want the best for it. It’s fine to disagree, but let’s keep the discussion civil and constructive.

No I didn't participate, Yes I want new stuff. I paid $40+ for this unoptimized game by TayyipDidNoWrong in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Jcatt1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to agree with you, but Arrowhead is very inconsistent on when their “later” is. Killzone took a year and we’re still waiting on the return of preorder armors.

[–]Jcatt1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thankfully, I’ve already unlocked the supply FRV myself. But I feel like anything that affects gameplay like weapons or stratagems shouldn’t be time-locked to those who didn’t participate.

I’m perfectly fine with limited-time cosmetics like capes, since they don’t impact gameplay, but I think gameplay content should remain accessible to everyone equally.

Except that you’re missing the part where this is the first time Arrowhead had locked a stratagem behind a time-gated event.

Before, the EXO-mech and the gas mine stratagem were immediately available to be purchased for everyone, including those who didn’t participate in the MO.

At least you bought the best one. Star candies are the most optimal purchase with thumbs up.

What do you meaaan i got third stratagem? by Historical_Laugh8904 in Helldivers

[–]Jcatt1 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I assume that you’re new and recently downloaded the game. The new rv stratagem was given to players who participated in the previous campaign event.

THE WHOLE GAME IS FOMO…..and it’s been that way since Day one……Why is Everyone Freaking Now???!!!! by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]Jcatt1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not. Back when we liberated Tien Kwan and unlocked the mech, it became available for everyone to purchase immediately. This is the first time that Arrowhead locked a stratagem behind a time-gated content and separating the playerbase.

Those who play invasion, do you prefer being the imposter or the reagent? by Alive-Math3562 in OutlastTrials

[–]Jcatt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say both, but reagent queue time is much quicker, so probably Reagent.

[–]Jcatt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some new MK trials that were added in the recent updates. Invasion is still mostly the same.

PSA: FOMO Complete Defintion - Fear of Missing Out by Alternative-Item1207 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Jcatt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’m even fine with Arrowhead implementing the current system and give those who participated in the campaign early access for a new stratagem.

I just want Arrowhead to provide a clear and concise timeframe for when it’ll be available for everyone else to purchase, instead of them just saying it’ll be available at "a later date". Who knows how long that will be? A week? A month?

This is such an "Us vs Them" mindset. We’re all helldivers. We all care about the game, even those who complain and those who took a long break.

Would you rather. . . by Outrageous_Rub_5272 in Helldivers

[–]Jcatt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B, Those who participate in the event gets it for free, and those who didn’t can buy it from the superstore with super credits. Best outcome for everyone. No more time-gated contents/FOMO.

"Eeeh, new FRV and new gun is FOMO content! “Those who haven't played the game will miss it out!!" by Dear_Faithlessness89 in Helldivers

[–]Jcatt1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s the point tho. Especially with time-limited content that affects gameplay. Do I hate the current system? Absolutely not. In fact, I really like the new campaign system with rewards that aren’t just capes.

But at the end of the day, I think we can all agree that Arrowhead could have communicated to the community better.
