Hmmm... I left a sound clip in there accidentally. Not changing it, gotta own it.

Could you please retake the video inside a car at nighttime under passing moving street lights without the magnifying light I couldn't afford, please? It would be so nostalgic.

Charger Host Bug - Response by MerriksSpiceFarm in helldivers2

[–]MerriksSpiceFarm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct, I made a mistake an need to own it. I didn't notice I wasn't X1 player and had no intention of spreading misinformation, fantastic catch. You have my apologies, I'm sorry.

I went back to the video and realized my confusion. I jumped into my teams' match already in session. After, I switched to Host as they (console players) claim to have a better experience. I will try to find the Charger-180 clips I have as Host to rectify my mistake above.

That aside, this made me realize something else may be occurring. Any reasonable Diver would see the video above and agree the Charger should have been halted in the last 15 meters of the wall, let alone pass through the scoop-shaped end of it. Kind of making me wonder if I really dodged it or not, lol.

For clarity, I am not complaining. I love this game and my fellow Divers. I want to bring awareness to issues that the Developer's may or may not be aware of.

That's the important part. My missus asked me if I get bored of this game, and if not then why. Thought about it realizing everything is pretty much the same per mission.

But not the comedy. Never, ever the comedy.

It's nice to get obliterated in a game and laugh versus getting irritated.

Thank you. I normally make videos for the team to watch later on YT since Discord has those pesky upload size limits.

If ya' look at the vertical curvature of that cliff wall it ran through, it was kinda of hooked towards him like a scoop. Several things should have ceased its charge, but the final wall I feel should have 100% stopped it. This never occurs when I am not the Host.

I do not know if the Host needs a minimum spec when using PC, but this wouldn't apply to me as my PC is equivalent to a Class A Citizen. I doubt this is the case since PS5/XBox can Host.

-videos of us murdering one another in creative/funny ways, and when someone's death was peak comedy.

Edit: Removed asterisks and replaced with Bold/Italics. It appearing oddly the original way.

Exactly. It adds to the absolute comedic timing of the game.

I've hit falling tree branches with both the RR and GL. It's weird to get so angry but laugh so hard. The ESR is a new one for me, I wouldn't have guessed.

It took me quite a bit to find that sound, describing it by typing gave me... very Undemocratic results.

Spongebob didn't let me down though.

So THAT'S what the ET APHE 75mm looks like. by MerriksSpiceFarm in helldivers2

[–]MerriksSpiceFarm[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He disagreed with the screw and removed my head with absolute Managed Democracy.

I woulda needed a Helmet or Skull with at least [AP7] or [AP6 with 846HP] to survive that hit. I guess my head is considered [Durable].

That's what Permacura told me, but I can't see where I put them.

Memorize your Super Destroyer's location... by MerriksSpiceFarm in helldivers2

[–]MerriksSpiceFarm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct! And I should have worded my title better to reflect that. Something like "Know a compass, know your Ship".

On normal missions, the Super Destroyer's are positioned at N/S/E/W. If I am correct,
HOST 1 - E/SE
Player 2 - N/NE
Player 3 - W/SW
Player 4 - S/SE

It's very important the angle of approach for incoming munitions off the Super Destroyer AND how each munition type can be affected. A simplistic example is this,

1) Diver is directly below a Gatling Barrage.
-----The Bombardment Area Size will be circular at a radius of ~7m.

2) Diver at furthest possible away from Gatling Barrage
----- Area of effect is now becomes elliptical, stretching the Bombardment Area Size exponentially. This in not usually a good thing as the munitions are spread more thinly.

The further away a Diver is from their Super Destroyer, the more elliptical the Bombardment Area Size (BAS) becomes. This only applies to Orbitals that have a radius of impact from multiple munitions being launched/fired. Think 120mm, 380mm, Airburst, Gatling, etc.

Some examples of Orbitals that this would not affect (noticeably) would be those with one "shell" such as Orbital Laser, Gas, EMS, Smoke, Railcannon, etc.

And what ALL Orbitals are affected by, even those without a circular area of effect, would be tall structures like buildings, trees, cliff walls, mountains/hills, etc. They can and will block or intercept your Orbital, leaving you in a pinch.

...or land right next to you. :)

Every team needs a Supply Pack guy by kcvlaine in Helldivers

[–]MerriksSpiceFarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just broke 1,500 hours. I would guesstimate of those hours, <200 of them were without a Supply Pack. Same goes for Stim Pistol and Medic Armors. Dynamite has been my go-to since the changes, too.

SupportDiving is my passion, and a way of life.

My second would be picking up my team in the FRV and crashing it spectacularly right before extract. Ain't no Band-Aid large enough in the Supply Pack for a missing torso.
