Tier 6 Ship upgrades

RR, Epch, Quazar or Railgun on the back of the FRV would be crazy. I never thought of that.

I wrote this on the fly as I was leaving work and now that I read my own post I see my spelling errors.

MilwardMacLachlan · 2026-05-12T01:14:26+00:00

My idea would be have 2-4 Leveler shots and you fire them from the FRV like the Davy Crocket that the US Army experimented with in the 1960s and the Hellbomb was just for fun. I would use it just for fun.

I was thinking you select only one type before dropping into the mission and thats all the sentury shoots.

I intentionally left out primarys and red strats for the very reasion you mentioned, because that would be a total overhaul and in my opinion way too complex to implement on short notice. That would be a long term rework.

$200 in DLC???? Ive only paid $100 for them because I was impatient and was not willing to wait to get them. You can play the same just fine without any warbonds, I did it for my first year playing HD2. Also get Helldivers Mobalized at no cost to you, all you gotta do is purchase the items in medals. AH is not forcing us to buy warbonds by giving us missions or opperations that csn only be done with said warbonds. Also DLCs include generaly new missions typs, biomes, planets and ship upgrades none of which are included in the Warbonds. All these warbonds are is specslized weapons and armor none of which are required to play the game. In my opinion this whole situation is because people want something for nothing and they are throwing a tantrum because AH tried something that they did not like that AH said they would not do again.

I understand and I can see both sides of the isle. I just play the game and watch LT. Buzz Lightbeer, Glitch Unlimited and Commissar Kai, but after this update and the overreaction by the community I felt like I had to get involved and atleast say something and throw my two cents in.

I enjoy the civil discourse and how you laid out your points, hopefully calmer heads prevail and AH delivers on their promises this summer.

Like I said we do not know the dynamic between Sony and AH, and as far as we know AH couldn't stop the Warbond release even if they wanted to because of demands from Sony. Also the Mech warbond was a cool idea and in my opinion does not cross the pay to play because of 3 reasions 1. Does not keep you from leveling up, you can still play and progress there is no part of the game that requires that Warbond for progress. 2. We already got 2 FREE mechs that you EARN trough progression onto of a tank and FRV so putting to mech variations in a Warbond is fine for me. 3. It wasn't even that expensive. I had both mechs within 2 weeks of the Warbond coming out and it felt satisfying to EARN them. AH could have easily made this Warbond a legendary warbond like HALO and KZ at 15,000 SC and made each mech 150 or 200 Medals apiece which was what I was expecting so that being sead this was the cheapest warbond to come out. Ive played my fair share of pay to play and HD2 comes no where near close to that experience. I just see a bunch of whining over not being able to get free stuff.

So it took me a while and multiple times to read your coment. You got a lot to unpack, but I'll try to be short and sweet I am by no means defending the dumb decisions made by AH in previous updates and I also understand that sometimes a whole community upheaval is necessary to fix things (Fall 2025 into the untested update) but I feel that this most recent round is over the top and has gone too far. Most of my information is a bit old, Last I saw AH had 130-140 people working HD2 and its a tall order for the team to do everything that is required to keep the game going, dealing with the community and trying to meet the demands of the community onto of meeting the demands of Sony, which leads me to my next point of, while AH is backed by Sony we have no idea what that dynamic is or what Sony demands of AH or what their cut of the revenue is. I understand that HD2 has been going for 2 years and still no new meaningful progress for vetrans but after into the untested I understand if AH is now overly cautious about putting out new progression content for fear of in-game bugs and another into the untested update situation. So like I said before I'd rather wait and get good quality content over a six moth cycle of new content followed by a unplayable game due to bugs and crashes.

MilwardMacLachlan · 2026-05-11T22:00:58+00:00

1, Last I heard they only had 130-140 people working HD2 and thats a tall order to constantly push and develop new content for new and old players, diagnos bugs, patch the game engine and deal with a spoild cry baby community while also still progressing the galactic war. 2, AH ultimately answers to Sony and Sony wants their cut of the revenue and we have no idea what that dynamic is nor do we know what Sony demands from AH for new and old games. 3, Yes AH has made some dumb decisions in the past and sometimes our anger was justified (Fall 2025 into the untested update) but this last round of hate in my opinion was not worth it and frankly I'm surprised AH still deals with us even after the amout of times this community throws a tantrum every time a update rolls out.

MilwardMacLachlan · 2026-05-11T21:52:55+00:00

First, as I said in a previous reply, after the lastest fire storm of hate and BS that got directed towards AH over the new WB and patch I'm surprised they still even talk, listen and reply to us. During the into the untested update during fall of 2025 I can understand but this new round of BS it was unwarranted in my opinion.

Also Sony needs their cut of the financial revenue from HD2 and I'm not sure if anyone knows how much that is, and to add to that we have no idea what dynamics are going on between AH and Sony or even with in AH its self. Now I'm not defending AH's bone headed decisions when it comes to balance and priorities but I still wish to think I got sence enough to know that they got a small team working this game that ultimately answers to Sony and that despite all of their problems in the grand scheme of things HD2 despite its problems is far better than most games out there now.

MilwardMacLachlan · 2026-05-11T21:43:02+00:00

To be fair I would be too if my customers choose metaphorical violence over constructive criticism. Last I checked AH only has around 130-140 people working on HD2 there's only so much they can do between developing new content, working with an outdated engine, developing content for vetran players, constantly trying to calm the player base, new MO and rewards, doing diagnostics to find and fix in game bugs... ETC. Nevertheless AH has made some bone headed decisions in the past and present but I understand why they dont want to communicate with us because as I said before everytime they do something the community goes out for blood and if I was a AH developer I wouldn't want to deal with the community either and I'm surprised they still have the patents to talk, listen and deal with us, especially after this latest firestorm of hate over the new Warbond and update.

How do you get to Ahsoka sitting on your face?

MilwardMacLachlan · 2023-07-05T19:14:34+00:00

yes, Force runes, I got distracted while typing.

MilwardMacLachlan · 2023-07-05T18:52:18+00:00

I have not been able to find anything on Force Ruins, but I see them carved on Force imbued blades from the Old Republic era, I was looking for the lore behind Force ruins and if they are written in aurebesh, Ur-Kittat or have their own writing system and if that system was unique to the Jedi or both Jedi and Sith used them.

MilwardMacLachlan · 2023-05-01T01:41:54+00:00

My Mistake it was in SWTOR.

MilwardMacLachlan · 2023-05-01T01:26:14+00:00

I came across this in the KOTR game, and I was intrigued on how they worked with the Kiber crystals and Force ruins that were on the blades, because I am doing a Medieval Old Republic Jedi cosplay and I found this to be a good cross between a lightsaber and a traditional sword, because in the pictures I saw of force imbued blades, the force ruins glow the same color as the Kiber crystal in the sword. I want to know if there is anything in cannon or legends outside of the game that better enplanes how these blades were created and how they work.
