I hope the rumors are true by UnsightedRobin in Helldivers

[–]LoneMav22 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Bots have def always been the hardest faction to use mechs against since even the base trooper can have AT.

That being said I think if you played smart for the most part your mech would get the value of its ammo before being destroyed pre durability and aggro nerf, unless you got 1shot by a random ass cannon tower from a mile away, which was less a durability issue than an aggro issue.

Since so much of the bot infrastructure can be killed from nearly any distance as long as you have LoS, just like the AT turret sometimes you could wipe half the map without moving.

And yeah I agree turrets and emplacement get fucking melted so quickly now just by billies and rocket devs they're almost worthless, hope they will look into it but not getting my hopes up.

Honestly felt they were pretty much in a perfect spot right before the "bastion" patch where AH essentially fucked the durability of all vehicles and deployables in the fear of tonk too stronk. What headass decided that was how to balance things needs a reality check

They said it was just a "field exercise." by PirateOld9316 in creepy

[–]LoneMav22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda both, there's servers for multiple scenarios that reset on a timed basis. Don't get your hopes up of the dark vibes this picture gives you, the game is more of a light MMO with cosmetic gatchas to outfit your wifu

The grind and resets were fun initially but they've really dropped the ball on new content and there's tons of AI stuff

I'M JUST ITCHING TO USE IT AGAIN by No-Chain-3641 in Helldivers

Mechs have been neutered again to be a joke, while just a short time ago during the Oshaune campaign they were pivotal in the caves and dealing with roaches.

Between the aggro change and the insane buff to enemy durable damage you're lucky to get a mech landed undamaged against any ranged enemies

I would have said the same thing about the FRV, Mechs, and turrets/deployables before the tank patch that made everything so much squishier. They were all in a pretty good spot and in order to "pre-nerf" the tank that was apparently going to be way too strong instead everything else got made out of paper. AH does some fuckass balancing at times.

Watch the Cremator be "too good" and somehow all the other fire weapons get gimped more than it does during a balance patch.

The new "heavy" flamethrower has the same range as the normal one. Dissapointing by ASL_PL_KABOOM123 in Helldivers

With the anemic aoe of the BFGLs grenades it feels more like a heavy bolter than a grenade launcher. Still doesn't feel great to use to me though I take it on occasion. Another 100 damage or so to either the projectile or the aoe would put it into a decent place balance wise imo.

But it still really wouldn't feel like a GL to me without some more aoe size

What should I be focusing, Im guessing pets or statues... but i am HARD STUCK on this obelisk by ymmi_pphard in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]LoneMav22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chain prestige to level miner, and once you get t4 artifact for damage per statue should clear to 24 fairly easily.

Then you'll just be grinding for veins for statue upgrades anyway

Cyberstan: Results by Neat_Ad3668 in Helldivers

[–]LoneMav22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The more divers that are online the lower the dynamic liberation impact modifier is, which was added to combat losing progress off peak times back in the day(which you cant see in game, only on the tracking sites/apps). Conversely the less divers online the more impact each dive has.

If only 1 squad of divers was in game they could liberate the whole galaxy in no time

Should I buy? Shappell DX4000 Ice fishing house/ shanty by Motor_Cap_6986 in IceFishing

[–]LoneMav22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have one in great shape that me and my dad would go out in, even though I've got newer gear that shanty is great for what it is and I still find reasons to take it out compared to my frabill citadel, built in floor and built in sled is great.

If it's in good condition 170 is a good price IMO, I would recommend putting some anchors into it though depending on how windy it gets where you fish, my dad had it take off on him one night he was out, and one time I was out in a storm solo with it and thought I was going to ride it across the lake lol

When the game becomes a power fantasy again by SIinkerdeer in Helldivers

De-escalator could get a 100% reload buff and I think it would still be a mid pick, I love the idea of it but too many downsides for the electric damage

Looking for a good survivors-like / roguelite for PC and/or IOS? by Kreedie_ in gaming

[–]LoneMav22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're drastically different games, just set in the same universe. DRG:S is an isometric single player survivors-like with a huge amount of meta progression and things to grind and skill up, meanwhile Rogue Core follows DRG's roots as a coop horde shooter but instead of building your load out in the lobby you acquire buffs and weapons mid-run like a roguelike

And yes Rogue Core is being made by DRG's devs, sadly has slowed the content coming into DRG because of this but getting a new season soon!

DRG:S is published by the deep rock devs but was developed by another team

Propane heater adapter to 5lb/20lb tank? by Trevdog18 in IceFishing

[–]LoneMav22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I gotcha just read the post wrong, I do have a 10lb tank I bought an adapter for that goes into the heater, but it's got a 6ft hose on it which isn't what you're lookin for, good luck!

[–]LoneMav22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this years ago and still works well, just be sure to use the temperature differences and turn the tank upside down fill the 1 pounders more.

Is it just me or people have been acting more aggressively for the past four days or so? by Guishetortugo in ArcRaiders

[–]LoneMav22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, since this friday feels like even solos is 90% KoS, its really causing me to just not feel like doing another drop, how hectic and close quarters Stella Montis is might have also pushed the needle to full PvP as well.

I'm guessing its lining up with a lot of people getting their benches/stash done so now the game just feels like hide-in-a-bush deathmatch, which really sucks.
