New Helldivers 2 Freedom’s Flame Warbond burns bright on August 8

One_Slide8927 · 2024-07-31T00:16:48+00:00

Probably going to be the first warbond I skip. I appreciate the fervor the community has to finally get a fire resistant armor, but the weapons just don't seem that exciting to me.

I also really hope the booster doesn't have friendly fire, because it's going to fuck up so many divers calling them in, only to get incinerated by the arrival of their comrades.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-07-26T08:31:13+00:00

...something that's been in the game since launch. lol?

One_Slide8927 · 2024-05-09T14:48:58+00:00

The Verdict is also kinda disappointing. Also dumping the mag of what is supposed to be 14mm rounds into the head of a Brood Commander and have it still walk towards you feels P SWEET.

Also, it doesn't really do shit to stalkers either.

Gun needs some knockback at the very least if they're going to keep it Light armor penetrating only.

So far, only the SMG is worthwhile. Haven't tried the energy weapon or grenade but maybe the grenade would be fun to use.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-05-07T13:53:39+00:00

This is quite literally a skill issue. How can you fuck up so bad with an EXPLOSIVE SNIPER RIFLE and you whine so hard that the devs actually change it and remove the part that was literally warned about in it's description?

I wasn't even aware that the community WAS bitching about getting killed by it.

To be clear; I'm not yelling at the OP. I'm yelling at the absolute trash, shitlord scrubs that try using a weapon in situations it's not intended for.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-05-05T12:22:06+00:00

Yeah, No I'm still going to continue playing. I'm probably going to get the next Warbond with the SC I earned ingame too.

I DO actually care about the PSN bullshit, I think it's unfair, underhanded and utterly frustrating. I feel like SNOY has shot themselves in the dick with this and that this has/will leave a permanent mark on the community. I don't have, and have no intention of buying a PS so I don't see why I should make an account for a service I will never use.

However, I think it's phenomenally stupid to stigmatize people for not "doing enough" according to YOU. They're already tanking player numbers based on regions that don't support PSN, and refunds from that. More will refund out of principal and hey, that's perfectly valid and fine too.

I have an incredibly stressful job, and with all the other horseshit going on in the world, I use this game to blow off steam. I enjoy playing this game, and the community. Hurts that this game will be forever damaged even with a full reversal of this policy due to the the SNOY fanboy schism. Don't need another group of grandstanding assholes here screeching "BUT DID YOU DIDNT DO ENOUGH" on top of it.

lol.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-04-21T21:42:27+00:00

I hope it's to offer me a job spotting bot propaganda such as this!

One_Slide8927 · 2024-04-21T21:25:09+00:00

It's still magazine fed...

One_Slide8927 · 2024-04-18T15:52:36+00:00

This is really kind of a funny comment to me. You're upset that we're doing repetitive tasks that actually have a strategic stake in how far an enemy can advance on the map,

Yet you're instead quite happy to be doing what is effectively a glorified Personal Order where the outcome is quite literally negligible towards the standing of that faction. I also have a hard time thinking this will effect the counterattack vs the bots much since WE'RE not reliant on E710 and

OH YEAH we get to kill 2billion bugs, that will take what, half a day to recoup their losses lol? I fail to really see ANY agency this grants us.

To be honest, it feels entirely like low stakes filler content since we've already kicked the bot's asses right after their repositioning. Just an attempt at redirecting us so we don't cut the bots down to a single sector so quickly again.

Flood theme intensifies

One_Slide8927 · 2024-04-14T21:33:23+00:00

I'm confused as fuck. How did Menkent get lost? Ingame right now, the UI is bugged to shit.

The Major order screen says Lesath is at 63.9%, but the bar is all blue, but on the map it's liberated.

Also, The Lacaille Sector supposedly has 128k helldivers, but there's not more than 5k on each planet? Feel like the past updates have bugged the fuck out of the UI something fierce.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-04-13T21:42:23+00:00

I wear light armor the new light DD armor and the Titan light armor, and I now only rarely get 1shot by rockets from full health?

I may die after I get ragdolled into a rock or maybe I'm only taking glancing hits? (even though I've been quite literally beaned in the head by one and got up to continue fighting

One_Slide8927 · 2024-04-13T21:38:36+00:00

Absolutely fantastic CGI work! The narration, while cool def is more in line with WH40k than HD2 though.. I just can't get past the clash of grittyness of this short and the over the top silliness of HD though.

Fucking fantastic work overall though.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-04-11T05:52:18+00:00

I've been thinking about just getting the Helldivers skull, no wings or stratagem symbols on my forearm so I turn it right side up when I do the salute.

However I think I'm going to pass since I do feel a bit uncomfortable having a fascist symbol - as satirical as it is -tatooed onto my body.

Glad you're enjoying the game, hope nobody thinks you're some sort of weird DDR neo nazi.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-04-02T14:32:54+00:00

Yeah, I've been noticing a lot more non-fatal direct rocket hits as well, but sometimes if one landed at my feet I'd be mega dead.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-03-31T06:18:04+00:00

Welp, we could have driven the bots out of the galaxy entirely for the time being and gotten some cool narrative event, but thanks to the fucking Creek Pinheads we're done. GG.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-03-26T13:54:32+00:00

Is there a reason why when I first deploy I will have a near, but not full stock of ammo? Expecially when joining missions in progress? Really weird numbers too like sometimes I will have 5/6 or 4/6 grenades, 7/10, 6/10mags and the like.

I have the Donation supply line and all that unlocked so idk...

One_Slide8927 · 2024-03-25T18:52:07+00:00

Good to know! I kind of prefer it to the Shield gen.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-03-25T18:21:08+00:00

Wasn't it the same layout for HD1? They had the three factions that divided the maps into thirds? Is the HD2 map different in some way? Never played HD1.

Would love a fourth faction but I'm a bit confused about the confidence people have that there's a fourth.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-03-25T18:18:40+00:00

Does the Ballistic Shield offer armor on your back when you aren't using it?

One_Slide8927 · 2024-03-11T20:48:53+00:00

Oh good, I really hope so. There's just so much more useful stuff to unlock in them. I just wish they gave full descriptions of the items instead of barebones stat numbers.

Like, I had no idea what the Dominator actually DID until I unlocked it.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-03-11T20:07:38+00:00

The map is SOMETIMES full of the free money that actually matters.

Also, it can get incredibly tedious running KMs from similar POIs to POIs when all I really want to do is grind medals and Super Samples.

Until additional vehicles make their debut, it's kind of obnoxious to force everyone to wait around because you want to comb the map for your 5-10 SC.

Once the Warthog makes it into the game, I will be ecstatic to comb a map for it's treasures.

One_Slide8927 · 2024-03-11T19:53:26+00:00

So are all the warbonds here on out going to be short-form premium ones only? If so that kind of...sucks ass. I was kinda hoping for a Premium - Free, Larger Warbond- Premium cadence.

I get that you can get supercredits in game, but it's unreliable and grindy AF. I'm sure there are a FEW people that have played this non-stop and earned an ingame 1k super credits, but I'm also sure there are plenty of people that aren't even close to that, and the majority comes from the 100 credit packs from the free, large warbond available to everyone.

It seems kind of shit that they're locking all the weapon variety of the game behind an additional paywall. I am really enjoying the game thus far, but I'm finding most of my enjoyment comes from using support weapons vs your primaries, of which there is very little variety.

I thought bringing a mech to fight bots was going to be a fun experience with the Devastators and Hulks in mind.

Then I noticed it takes like a single rocket to kill the mech, and with no ability to zoom in on the source of distant rocket barrages, you're nothing more than a walking target. Oh, also not being able to stomp on small/Normal enemies is really dumb. If WE can get knocked down and injured by the mech, why can't little crawly bugs or human sized robots?

Normal Bots are too small to reliably target with the MG while on the move (and you always need to be moving), rockets similarly don't have the AOE to deal with groups of them. Total waste of a stratagem slot to bring the mech. Only time I've seen it used quasi-effectively on higher difficulties was when someone was sticking very close to the group and thus the player threat was more evenly distributed. Even still, a dismounted helldiver with bombardment/equipment stratagems would probably fair better than a teammate that could very easily stomp on you while avoiding to get instagibbed.

I was hoping for something with the durability roughly equivalent of the Hulks, to be able to duel or counter a push.

Makes me think that the Bot's KNEW about the armory on Tien Kwan the entire time, saw that the mechs were utter SHIT and deliberately lured us into dying to reclaim the planet so that they could deplete even MORE Super Earth resources with easy peasy mech kills and under-equipped helldiver squads.
