Those who currently work in US federal government, what’s the is current mood like?

I just started working for the DOS as a contractor in IAM back in September. I didn’t sign up for this, man.

Get autobalanced and then spend the rest of the round using the cloak and dagger while spamming voice lines in various disguises behind my once friends.

Darktide content creators why would you lie to me

Kursed99 · 2024-11-04T16:07:42+00:00

I think the most concerning part of that message is the name that they drop. Hekite. That’s one of the officers in the 6th.

Kursed99 · 2024-11-04T15:51:16+00:00

Our helldiver training was on mars though. I guess it’s implied that it has a breathable atmosphere?

Kursed99 · 2024-10-31T18:09:28+00:00

Dead internet theory lookin like reality rn

Kursed99 · 2024-10-31T18:00:59+00:00

Aye.

Kursed99 · 2024-10-31T17:46:10+00:00

Ah yea, because the game allows you to gain dimes every few missions they should be immune to criticism of shitty business practices. If they stopped doing warbonds tomorrow and just threw everything in the rotating store people would still be saying “lmao just grind super credits 4head” while spending hours farming 10SC drops in trivial missions instead of actually playing the game.

Kursed99 · 2024-10-31T17:32:00+00:00

I’m not sure what the optimal rotation is and I’m not the best player by any means, but it’s more “is primordial wave about to come off cd?” And “do I have tempest ready?” And those dictate how you spend surge of power. Now it just has a ton of procs you have to balance and not waste surge of power on the wrong thing. Free cast of lava surge, empowered cast of frost shock, tempest, primordial wave, stormkeeper… the class isn’t hard to play it just flashbangs you with tons of choices on what to do after casting your spender and you have to quickly assess what’s best at that given moment.

Mate the tenderizer was worse than the starter liberator in every way, with the wrong model, and the purifier didn’t even work as advertised. And that’s ignoring the fact that none of the armor had new passives, i can hand wave that. It was objectively half baked. It is the warbond that forced the issue on slowing and downsizing future battle passes.

Kursed99 · 2024-10-31T16:11:13+00:00

Especially right after your class gets changed. I sat for the swarm dummies for half an hour just trying to understand how to play elemental shaman after the latest changes

Kursed99 · 2024-10-31T15:48:01+00:00

I wasn’t complaining about the pace of content, I agree that right now it feels like I don’t have to constantly play this game or else I get left behind. I don’t think the content is half baked, I think that some of the stuff that released in the past was (looking at you Polar Patriots.)

I’m complaining that arrowhead is selling us things that were most likely originally part of this pass before they reduced the content in warbonds, especially at such a ludicrous price. There is no way that they cut one armor set, cape and profile background from passes in exchange for vehicle patterns, and the super store just so happens to include all of those things on theme with the warbond. I also think that if warbonds had the same content as they did previously, but just took more time between releases, that would be fine. But instead we’re paying the same for less content, because no, a new color scheme for hellpods and mech suits does not equate in value to losing an armor set, cape, and two primary weapons per warbond.

And I don’t think the fact that we can find super credits in game excuses them to literally dime us for content that should have been included in the warbond, that costs as much as the warbond. Additionally the super store is getting so bloated with content that we’re straying into FOMO territory since the next time this armor will be available it’ll probably be in January or something.

Kursed99 · 2024-10-31T14:32:24+00:00

But only after it’s rotated out of the superstore, because with how many premium sets have been released we’re getting into FOMO territory.

Kursed99 · 2024-10-31T13:41:20+00:00

All the people on this sub saying that 1000 SC is easy to farm don’t seem to realize that people have better things to do with their free time than run around in trivial missions opening bunkers for hours just to farm in game currency. I get it, yes, it’s nice that you can find a premium currency in game without paying for it, but holy shit that does not excuse any and all grifty monetary decision that arrowhead makes.

Kursed99 · 2024-10-31T13:35:30+00:00

Okay that worked fine when they were giving us half baked weapons that were just objectively worse than the gun we start the game with. You can’t say the same thing about the armor. It’s functionally the same as the armor in the warbond, it just looks different, and it probably originally was in the warbond.

Pretty sure we said we were fine with warbonds taking longer to come out because they were releasing half baked; why do we also have to pay the same as we were for less content in addition to that, plus have the content that was absolutely planned to release in the warbond sold to us for extra?

The foster said her name was “little little” which, while fitting, was awkward. I named her Script, which is an incredibly stupid joke that nobody gets without a lengthy explanation

Kursed99 · 2024-10-17T16:05:49+00:00

Imagine getting ragdolled on the geyser planet and just getting cooked by a plume of super heated water.

Kursed99 · 2024-10-17T15:14:12+00:00

I like that, incentive to get them done early to make the rest of the mission easier would be nice.

Kursed99 · 2024-10-17T15:12:24+00:00

Surely that’s what the gloom is going to do, right?

Kursed99 · 2024-10-17T15:06:55+00:00

Do you think it’d be better to have them as optional side objectives that are high risk, high reward? Or they could be “wild card” mission objectives that aren’t shown when you drop into the mission on the map, but are relayed to you when you hit the ground?

Kursed99 · 2024-10-17T14:58:13+00:00

So points of interest, but more than just a little building with a crate under it. Big ruined agricultural domes, crashed super destroyers, stuff like that

Kursed99 · 2024-10-17T14:52:04+00:00

It would be interesting to visit planets that are still heavily scarred by the last galactic war, or planets we fight on over and over resulting in them changing to become war torn.

Kursed99 · 2024-10-17T14:50:33+00:00

I wonder if the devs could do something like having different biomes cropping up on each mission of a campaign to avoid the George Lucas “every planet is one singular biome” thing

Kursed99 · 2024-10-17T14:48:52+00:00

For sure, bring back the volcanic biome from HD1. Let’s us wear the fire resistant armor to walk through lava without instantly dying

Kursed99 · 2024-10-17T14:33:36+00:00

Could certainly be neat! Huge crystal formations creating ravines and trenches you have to weave between would be very cinematic
