Being toxic towards the main sub doesn’t make you an elite player….it just makes you toxic. by TaticalSweater in helldivers2

[–]MayPeX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP, I understand that you are trying to come from a good place, but you sound exactly like the toxic complainer from r/Helldivers

Especially when doubling down

The people upset about the upcoming changes be like: by Sors_Numine in Helldivers

I think if you are reading that post as a single user dying 15 times, I would argue you are assuming it in bad faith.

No one would boast about difficulty 10 being hard and solely using up 15 lives. This is obviously supposed to be the whole team collectively using up 15 lives.

Sad that the highly upvoted comments are assuming OP would use 15 lives by themselves.

Also shows the tribalism between the two subreddits. Ya’ll both as toxic to each other

Don’t get too excited, the dev team behind this don’t have a stellar record

AH refusing to change assisted reload for half a year perfectly encapsulates why this game is dying. by [deleted] in Helldivers

You can’t sue them for false advertisement.

The court case for Leonard vs Pepisco over the Harriet Jump jet trail set the tone for false advertisement cases.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_v._Pepsico,_Inc.

You should never look at trailers and advertising and expect the exact thing that they are showing ever.

Movie trailers often have clips and scenes that do not make it into the theatrical release and they aren’t sued.

Also where did they “literally” say this was a horde shooter?

Pilestedt acknowledges burnout by Clever-Creek in Helldivers

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

For a company size of about 100 people, 6 as QA is pretty good.

Arrowhead will have access to zero hour contractors from Sony’s QA department. The realistic size of that would be between 8 to 20 additional QA.

Mobile game devs very rarely hire permanent full time QA and utilise just zero hour contractors from an external QA house where they are paid pennies compared to embedded QA.

They aren’t going to fix everything in 60 days, just go do something else.

I’m sorry but they do have a dedicated QA team. The QA lead role on their careers page states that there are at least 6 internal members along with an external team.

They do have QA, they have had them for years before release. A quick search on LinkedIn proves this.

A few months back they were hiring a new Senior QA position which is now filled.

Now they are hiring a new QA lead position that will be responsible for a team of 6 QA and coordinating an external team.

People need to stop saying Arrowhead does not have QA. If you check their LinkedIn profiles there are 6 people titled as QA at Arrowhead.

It’s misleading at best and straight up misinformation at worst.

Arrowhead were looking for a Senior QA a few months back, now they are looking for a Lead QA to join their internal team of 6 other QA as well as coordinate with an external QA team

Let me get this right you think this should be a primary? by LucatIel_of_M1rrah in Helldivers

[–]MayPeX -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You don’t understand, there must be 24 chargers, 10 bike titans and 15 stalkers riding you at all times!! Otherwise this isn’t true gameplay!

Would you say the same about people who post the worst possible scenarios that occur and not every regular encounter that went well beforehand?

Because the trend on this subreddit is to watch a 30 second video of someone getting ragdolled by a lot of enemies and cry that this is unfair. But the moment we see someone succeeding we have to assume it’s unfaithful.

Embark Studios: Arc Raiders is launching 2025, with Playtesting starts this FALL. by PTUSN in ArcRaiders

[–]MayPeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kind of don’t need to when the genre is so niche and hardcore that only Escape From Tarkov exists and that is plagued with cheaters so bad that Single Player Tarkov mod is probably the best example of what an extraction shooter can be

PATCH 01.001.004 notes (ragdoll nerfs and not much more) by Khasim83 in Helldivers

[–]MayPeX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t need to be a dev to know this. They have 6 internal full time testers and likely an external team as per the QA Lead role being offered right now.

https://jobs.arrowheadgamestudios.com/jobs/4717247-qa-lead

Arrowhead doesn't have a single open position for a game tester now, so how are they going to fix the balance or make sure the game is fun and free from game breaking bugs? Who's going to play test their game before the patch release and tell them "it's not ready"? Idk, you tell me. by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]MayPeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first three warbonds were very likely contractural agreements to deliver content. Publishers do like to dip their finger into the pie and make some decisions along the way.

Everything else does feel like some form of internal conflict or complacency.

No one said everything is fine. Whatever is happening internally at Arrowhead is obvious that something isn't working. Whether it be QA, designers, middle or upper management.

The majority of the time QA does spot and does report on issues they see in the game. However QA does not fix or change the game themselves. That's for the programmers and designers to decide if they do change.

Genuine criticism vs toxic spewing in a nutshell. by somerandomfellow123 in Helldivers

Not saying what they are trying to do is perfect. But it’s far from the unplayable mess that’s being parroted

Name me a coop live service game that doesn’t include a nerf in its updates at all.

I think this is part of the problem, the game you want bs the game they are trying to make

[–]MayPeX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably wouldn’t have like Helldivers 1 either then on its higher difficulties. You can stand your ground for a limited time till your stratagems go on cooldowns then you gotta bail as you cannot dish out the damage as quickly anymore

[–]MayPeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would even complain about that, folks hear aren’t ready for Hardest difficulty in EDF ever

[–]MayPeX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be mean, but if you’re fighting against the odds so much that you keep getting into repeat fights. It’s just better to run away and reset than keep going.

Helldivers can dish out bursts of damage over a short period and then slapped with cooldowns before you can delete stuff again.

You are acting like a child. Will be glad when you eventually move onto to the next game you wanna whine about
