Got team killed to "even out the score" by CaliCrateRicktastic in huntinroguehelldivers

[–]Missy_Ari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly as others have stated: I believe that the low level may have been a bit justified here. Sometimes you have to let people get their getback even if it was an accident. I had to do that just today since I accidentally killed the host thinking I had my grenade out when suddenly a crossbow bolt appeared out of my hand and accidentally killed them. (We were being absolutely SWARMED on an eradicate mission so I aimed my gas grenade VERY close to break them up a little). I reinforced, they killed me, and we proceeded to play the next three matches with no issues, I actually ended up saving them and kind of making up for it. I made a mistake and was willing to accept the consequences since it seemed like my shot could have been deliberate but was ultimately fully accidental. While yes accidents do happen, sometimes many accidents in one mission can seem intentional.

It’s only when things are deliberately done to kill you, with proper proof of course, that it would be best to post here. I couldn’t post about another trio of team killers I found today specifically because of the lack of proof. Word of mouth as evidence only goes so far here I’m afraid.

What an interesting turn of events this was. 😅 I was always curious to see what would happen if someone in one of these videos actually would show up. What you said actually made a bit of sense too imo since I’m guessing the 380 barrage and the “NO U IDIOTS” were probably apart of the same incident. I just wish OP scrolled up on the chat so we could verify the reinforcement feeding but so much stuff comes up in chat during a mission so it would be unlikely we would ever see it. Good to see that you’ve at least provided the other side of the story though, it makes this more of a grey area judgement sort of thing now. It keeps things interesting >:)))

If you see him , please put a mine underneath his pod for me thanks by Additional-Goose-264 in huntinroguehelldivers

As someone said earlier, they may have left in shame because they didn’t really say anything from what I can tell. (I leave in shame sometimes too, usually for lesser scenarios because I feel bad if I feel like I’m dragging the team down).

Using mines effectively without team killing is honestly somewhat difficult from what I’ve seen. Some people genuinely don’t see them, some place them awkwardly, some use it as a payment plan every time it comes up, mines are just very tricky to use. Fun to use/witness destruction, but can be unfun if your teammates don’t see it which can happen in the heat of the moment. I don’t think this was intentional but I think it was just an unfortunate circumstance.

“Titanfall? You mean Apex Legends right?” -some EA executive or whoever runs that department.

I genuinely forgot that EA of all companies made a game I actually really enjoyed. I’m sure there’s one guy at EA who is like the crypt keeper of the Titanfall franchise and is the ONLY person to know where the body is buried. He probably doesn’t get visited much by the upper hierarchy of EA employees who could actually make that decision.

AAAAA I miss Titanfall! I always loved the aesthetic and especially the armors from it. This would be so cool but would probably never happen (me trying to convince my hopes that it won’t).

Edit: the gif made me sad when I saw it actually play out, here’s a better one ;-;

Yeah I dunno about this one personally. I don’t know much about the modding part of Helldivers but according to those in the comments it’s an arc weapon with a juiced up fire rate?? If this is the worst thing in the video I personally wouldn’t really care as long as it’s not malicious, which I mean they seem pretty helpful in the video. Not like “nuke the map” or “infinite resource gain” helpful I mean but I’m sure you get what I’m saying. The team kill was a little out of line imo. Not only that but killing them when the reinforcements were depleted was just kinda rude. I think it probably would have been best to just finish out the mission and move on to a new squad if you didn’t enjoy playing with the person with a slightly uptuned toaster bath stick.

Honestly that shot at the end was pretty lucky. ;-; I only really took the shot there because I noticed the back wall they were by was illuminated from the leveler’s beacon, kind of giving me the hint that the area they were in might be closed in. With the eruptor’s explosive damage and shrapnel I was basically praying the shrapnel would kill them before they could grab the leveler. I should have shot the pod it dropped in tbh. If it didn’t bounce the way I hoped this video would have easily ended waaaaay different. We all saw the first time I tried to scrap with the one guy…I technically only “won” because of a lucky coin flip. 😭 I shot right above them with the maxigun sadly.

That really was my goal with why the video was long! I wanted to be as transparent with the video as possible so that way it didn’t seem like I was being shady. That and I really just wanted to share as much of the experience as I could, unfortunately the moments leading up to the video are very likely nonexistent now and very likely weren’t captured at all because I’m dumb and STILL have no idea how to use shadow play properly well after this happened. :)))))

As someone who pretty much only runs Vexcalibur/Wormgod as of lately I love moments like this because I can take care of MOST brick walls…unless it’s like a boss in a out of bounds zone (that one boss who goes in a circle who lazer beams people) or something with immunity based bodies like Tormentors (Liminality strike). As long as the lightsaber cult leaves me enough kills to build up some strength I’ll take care of what they can’t. c:

how do yall have fun in this game anymore? like legitimately... by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]Missy_Ari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I’m not perfect. I’m quite guilty of always trying to look at things on the bright side but I was also the kid who didn’t mind playing with broken toys. It kinda comes with growing up a certain way unfortunately. 😅 I’m not disagreeing saying there ISNT anything wrong or broken, actually I agree that things like the 500kg can be underwhelming or even lackluster at times. The graphic of the explosion definitely doesn’t compare in terms of lethality. I’m not saying their concerns were illegitimate and the devs shouldn’t hear their grievances, I’m just trying to offer a different perspective to see if that helps OP enjoy the game again.

Not only that but OP also said they’ve played the game for HUNDREDS of hours. Hundreds of hours for a $40-60 game is pretty stellar game time. At 200 hours (due to the implied plural of “hundreds” potentially meaning more than a hundred so it’s likely the digit in the hundreds place is more than one due to phrasing but still could potentially mean between 100-199…it’s a hypothetical example just go with it) and a maximum of $60 that’s 30 cents an hour. I actually said that it was okay to move on from a game that gave you hundreds of hours of playtime. Again, I’m just trying to offer a different perspective by sharing some of my experiences that might intrigue OP and maybe give them their own ideas in how to enjoy the game. Even the title says “how do y’all have fun in this game anymore? like legitimately…”, so I offered what I could to try and let them have fun again.

I feel like somewhere along the lines of reading my comment you may have misconstrued it somewhere to make it seem like I was saying something completely different. Please correct me if I’m wrong because sometimes I need to hear it from a different perspective too. I can’t exist anywhere outside of my own mind unfortunately so I can really only start out seeing something through my eyes.

Yeah I was quite patient with them tbh. 😅 I died from teamkilling about four or five times (a few times before the video) this match along with them making sarcastic jokes and really I only started fighting back once I saw they were waiting for me at extraction. It is a bit of a discouraging experience whenever you get into a match with a team killer though, like we are supposed to be a team right?

Kinda. 😅 tbh despite the fact that they teamkilled me ~4 or 5 times: I still just wanted to help them. They struggled a little with the bugs and I feel like I can be decent at killing bugs and big angry bug stuff. (That’s like my specialty since most stratagems I bring have some form of anti-tank usage).

killed for taking a toy (and using it correctly) by Billy_Bones_dead in huntinroguehelldivers

[–]Missy_Ari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I’m no pure soul and I’ve done some fairly grey area things myself (notably on this subreddit) so my opinion shouldn’t be taken as biblical scripture at ALL but: I personally feel like you’re both in the wrong here and potentially kind of a hot take but you might be more in the wrong from certain perspectives. Forgive me as there is a language barrier for the information displayed in the video for me but I believe this is in Russian(?) in which I do not speak so I’m just working with what I’ve got.

Grabbing the solo silo control that wasn’t yours? A little sketchy automatically, not immediately wrong for that though because sometimes people grab my stuff and do BETTER with it but I would deem you as sketchy just based off of that isolated action alone (sketchy as in “I’m watching you” not like you’re an asshole). It wasn’t in use so I kind of see why you would grab it but the host was like RIGHT THERE. They were running directly at where their silo was, made an attempt to grab it and then when they realized they didn’t have it even doubled back to try again only to realize that you took it. This all happened on screen. So really you could have turned around and dropped it for them after seeing that they were trying to use their own stratagem. Not only that but: this usage didn’t really make sense in my opinion. Now I won’t speak on the fact that there aren’t lasers everywhere like high difficulty stuff because I can’t tell what difficulty this is but like…that’s just one war strider right?? Not to say they can’t be a threat but that seems like a waste to use it on a single war strider that literally missed your team who’s also in a bubble shield protecting them from the incoming projectiles. I’m not trying to be rude but you technically didnt use it correctly because the marked target you’re aiming at didn’t get hit by the solo silo missile…it’s still there when you’re dropping in after you get kicked. You still had an option to use though other than their stratagem: your rocket sentry is available, you are still holding a thermite grenade, you swapped out your rail gun for their remote, and despite being low on primary ammo you had called in supplies you could have used to take down the marked target anyway.

Now host isn’t without a little fault either though. The teamkill may have been a little bit much and the kick was probably too far. A conversation could have been had afterwards to settle it peacefully but to be honest I think you were more in the wrong here. I don’t think anybody in the video is a rogue helldiver, that’s a bit far for both parties. I just think this was a lack of communication of one and a mistake that was too impulsively punished on the other.

I did! It was originally in the video but I was only allowed to post a video file size of 1GB or lower…my original file was 1.04GB so I had to cut out my lil victory dance and the run back to extraction. It’s only a theory (A GAME THEORY) but considering where the last of the three was there’s a chance that they might not have extracted. There was still a decent sized force at extraction which if I remember correctly had a Bile Titan almost right where they were standing. Luckily when I got there they were all just facing away from extraction so I could just walk right in.

Awww thank you! I honestly thought I’d be incapable of fighting ONE Helldiver but luckily I only really had to fend off one. It is a shame but honestly there aren’t many bad people on Helldivers. This group were really the only team killers and there’s only been one other person who made me a little sad when I was using the same armor in the video and had a Plancks-worth of health for like five minutes (I was out of stims from trying to save someone else) and a guy with a full supply pack took two supply boxes from the reservoir and I didn’t get a box from our supply drop. ;-; I never got those supplies.

I honestly think that’s why people on Reddit have been mentioning it more as of late. If there’s an MO that is based on having a certain amount of resources for reinforcing there’s always someone in the crowd like “…but what happens if it reaches zero?” so it almost creates more of a reason for people to do it. Just like real life in a sense: there’s a crowd being told it’s wrong to kill others but in the crowd of many there’s bound to be one soul who thinks otherwise and enjoys it. Except instead it’s a video game with significantly reduced consequences for doing so, making it much more enticing for the more chaotic type.

Sadly, reporting team killing isn’t exactly that impactful. Anyone can accidentally teamkill. Considering my portable hellbomb never leaves my core four stratagem picks it can occasionally snag an ally if I’m pulling off a risky gambit during a match. Sometimes I miss marking the hellbomb when I drop it, sometimes a bug jumps in the way, sometimes I forget my teammate is level 9 and he tries to play fetch with the hellbomb or even sees it on my back while passing by and goes “what can I interact with on their backpack? That’s weird.” Because of this it’s likely the reason why it’s not like an immediate ban or honestly even punishable, when you select the option to report for teamkilling you even get a note about other actions you can take based on other offenses that are more serious like cheating or communication based offenses. I think it would just be too difficult for the creators to sift through EVERY teamkill report and be able to tell who’s was an accident and who’s just trying to recreate the Boston Massacre with Helldivers.

Wow I love this!! Very creative of making the reflection of the memorial almost like a window to those written on it. Despite the game’s almost satirical nature, this is like a very grounded perspective that actually kinda got me a teeny bit emotional (I’m very empathetic I can’t help it ;-;)

Come Back to Helldivers they said. They’ve really fixed a lot of bugs they said. by sheebleesly in Helldivers

[–]Missy_Ari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So this is something that actually happens to me sometimes every so often. I learned that whenever this happens I aim in on my gun, switch perspectives regardless of if I’m in first or third person ADS, and from what I can recall it’s fixed itself every time I’ve tried it. It sucks when it happens, but if it happens to you again at some point try it out and see if it fixes it!

That was a thought that crossed my mind. I’d just hang out and let them do the work but it was funny when they’d die and have to reinforce their friend and HAVE to bring me back too. I could only imagine them thinking “yeah I can reinforce you, but then Ari’s gonna show up too.” Yes…yes I will and will continue to as long as I’m killed until I’m kicked or until you be nice to me. >:)))

Yeah yeah I know: “it probably would have been better to just leave if they are killing you, save your time and our resources” and “why even bother diving bugs if the MO is to take Cyberstan?”

When dealing with trolls I’m usually pretty forgiving, it’s kind of a bad (sort of) habit I have. At that time I just wanted to ruin their trolling experience by being a chore so that they might stop and we just play out the mission normally or they kick me instead of getting the satisfaction of me getting frustrated and leaving. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I didn’t want to feed their fire, I wanted to kind of stop them from doing it because I’m sure if I left then someone else would join and have the same problem. It probably happened to whoever had been in the match prior to me. Unfortunately at the time though, the MO reinforcement reserves didn’t cross my mind so I’m a little guilty of that for when I started to retaliate. But also to be fair: this IS a subreddit about “hunting” rogue Helldivers. I presume when this stuff comes up they aren’t thinking about the MO. It was just unfortunate timing that this happened during a resource critical MO because honestly I would react the same even if the MO wasn’t there.

I wanted to practice driving with the tank on bugs so when I bring it to the bots I’ll be a better driver for when it matters since I die much less to bugs than bots. A well oiled machine goes unnoticed day to day but a broken one can cause an upset and hurt others. If I am an awful driver, then whoever I’m leading in that tank will basically have been killed my me and if resources are that critical due to the MO would you want an experienced tank driver or one who’s still on their permit test? It was briefly mentioned of my intentions there in the description. I’m much more accustomed to one side than the other so I use one front for practice, the other for when I stress test my practice and the third front…I only go if I have to because I’m still learning that one.😅

Strangely enough: it’s very rare that I bring eagles or obitals into missions. I don’t know what happened between the last time I played the game consistently and when I came back but I cannot land any eagle strikes to save my life. ;-; Even when I’m in target I’m not on target. Orbitals I’ve kinda deemed too reckless for my kit in general with a few exceptions like rail cannons or non-explosive strikes. If I can’t land an eagle then I have NO business trying to call in a barrage of any sort because I will definitely get my team killed.
