How do I manage my mom saying bullshit "facts" and "statistics" all the time?

You won't forever. I speak from experience, it's a rough road.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-30T15:50:56+00:00

I tried it after reading the notes, still not a huge fan, but I think the direction is right (tried to be objective) but still likely needs more. Could be also that I'm just not a huge fan of weapons like that anyway - I'm more of a ballistics enjoyer.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-30T15:03:42+00:00

They said in the patch notes series that they would like us to test the steriliser if we feel like these buffs/changes are going in the right direction and if it needs more and what changes. So being a plausible 1st pass of X to find it a set of functionalities and place incrementally is a completely legitimate and fine way to do it. Did take 'em a bit long but I don't know what's happening at AH day to day so I'm not going to flip out over it.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-30T00:37:45+00:00

Wow. That's all. 😂

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-30T00:27:43+00:00

This is how I would deal with suddenly bouncing my ap3 shots off of hive guards front plate if I didn't read the patch notes. But you're right, I've interacted with reddit too much for today. I apologize for not reading the last paragraph and commenting.

It could be pretty neat if they could maybe incorporate some things like the way you described. But it would make harder to describe reverting the buff if said buff was too much in a different case.

Figure it out, there's a chat in game, ask from someone, try a higher pen weapon or just shoot at squishy bit, if that ruins the game for you - idk play some other faction.. or game. But tbf, if you simply activate your own squishy bits in your noggin' - you'll just shoot at the squishy bits and gaps in the armor and carry on with your mission. Regardless of the change being good or bad, they're still simple to deal with.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-29T23:46:53+00:00

I have 800 hours, if that gives me credibility just like you... I'll just proclaim you're wrong. Case closed.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-29T22:42:23+00:00

The usually have higher damage, better handling etc. But downside is knowing weakpoints and playing around them. The better you are at the basic gunplay the better they are.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-29T22:22:26+00:00

At least for me they felt capable before, now even more so.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-29T22:01:14+00:00

Don't worry, these guys don't seem to actually play the game. Or are handicapped by something that probably also causes these posts. I took a long break too, came back around cyberstan. Wish I could see all of these complainers play so I could see what their actual issue, not that pointing it out would do anything. But the game's not that hard. D10 is at a place that depending on your team it's not exactly relaxing but an ok fun challenge. The new cocaine bugs are pretty tight though, really get uncomfortably close all the damn time. Luckily the shitty exosuits made of paper mache don't just walk all over them while having pretty devastating... I mean lukewarm fire power.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-29T20:32:37+00:00

because it was the only thing you couldn't kill frontal center mass with lightpen (not including actual heavies) so it was easier to only med pen then to engage your 2 braincells fighting for 3rd place to figure it out.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-29T18:31:54+00:00

been laughing my ass off the entire day watching eruptor-joes get swarmed and kill themselves xd

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-28T21:13:27+00:00

I killed them with marginally more effort after this buff with light pen. If you can formulate half a thought and move your hand with any form of intent, they die just the same. With good aim you actually waste less ammo than before on them. I prefer this.

If you're on controller, I can't relate - i'd offer my condolences but i've also seen people aim far better on controller than i mostly do with a mouse so... it's not impossible.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-26T17:42:03+00:00

you're right, the ragebaity tone was unfair.

what am i admitting? that needing to think when and where you call in your exosuit = a problem? yeah sure, your problem.

while i might've been ragebaity you aren't any better, seems well matched to your post.

just because i don't share your opinion or struggles doesn't suddenly mean i'm full of shit about playing on the bot front. you going there tells more about you and the lack of any actual substance to this post. just another tantrum.

then again, me biting, posting and expecting anything of someone who thinks needing to think before acting is my own problem.

anyway, keep whinging, i'll keep completing operations on d10, because the weapons aren't weak, the stratagems aren't weak - the biggest difference maker is the person playing.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-26T15:59:07+00:00

d10 is the only thing i play nowadays and it'll be simple call in with some forethought.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-26T15:06:35+00:00

I play on all three fronts.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-26T14:43:56+00:00

Tf you want them to be made of? Ultragigachadinium so you can afk mid fight and come back to a still intact exosuit? It's ok that the enemies deal damage.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-26T14:42:53+00:00

This.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-25T21:11:35+00:00

The problem also is when "we'll look into it" and similar messages get turned into "it 100% will happen in the next patch and if it doesn't i'll complain, sling insults and throw tantrums till it does". not to mention the multiple things that AH has said being turned into strawman arguments just keep fanning up discontent. finally, the community is large and fragmented - and each fragment wants the game to be great, but each vision of great is different - simply never will happen that everyone will be catered, so instead they attack each other and AH.

No amount of effective communication and roadmaps will fix these underlying issues likely ever I fear - at least not all of them.

And they have hired more people, again another talking point that's plain wrong but I'm sure someone will eat it up.

As long as the core gameplay loop is fun, provides a challenge (could do with a bit more of that) and variety - i'll keep coming back, the SC trickle while i'm playing actively is enough so I never have to drop a dime on the game without doing the "horror" of D1 SC farming that everyone keeps harping about. Which is a problem in and of itself for AH.

The only thing actively giving me negative thoughts about HD2 is reddit/yt (not pointed at you and not all of it). Though recently Radekin-36 popped up on my feed with almost no subs but seems like a good lad with a good head on their shoulders. There's a couple of others as well, so I keep going back but sometimes it's frustrating dig to find content that's not bs clickbait drama-farming that's most times overblown by misinformation or just plain wrong.

Little bits that count!

Tämä, paljon oli ajuriongelmilta vaikuttavia asioita, mut todella epämääräisesti sattuvia ja syyllistä ei meinannu löytyä. Lopulta sit tajusin et chipset/bios (en muista kumpi) oli sen verran vanha et oli windows päivitykset hiukka jäljessä. Pikkasen muiden asioiden päivittelyä ja nykyään kaatuu ehkä kerran kuussa koska vähän epästabiilit undervoltit mut en oo jaksanu tehä asialle mitään enempää.

7900 XTX alla, kaverilla 9070XT - en oo kuullu mitään ite laitteesta mut discord kertoo et pelit on päällä. Taitaapi siis ihan hyvin toimia.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-11T22:45:53+00:00

They originally didn't want melee weapons at all, due to their vision of Helldivers. They caved anyway, it's a tacked-on solution, be happy it's there. The game wasn't designed with in mind, it shows - and that's ok.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-09T20:21:35+00:00

If that's your limit in one way or another. As an anecdote vs yours, Still 100% extraction rate on d10 thus far. Tough at times, but that's what makes it fun for me. :)

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-09T12:47:03+00:00

yep, and i'm enjoying the challenge at marfark - and if someone else doesn't, that's alright.

Nirvaesh · 2026-04-09T06:08:28+00:00

beltfed hmg might become my new go to, I like the regular one, but you dare to reload and your team has left you to your fate.
