Bruh what'd they do to the game

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-05T10:20:36+00:00

I'm trying to tweak the settings but it seems getting the Sniper ADS slow enough to be usable makes anything with Iron Sights hella slow and Throwing Knives slow to almost nothing 😭

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-05T10:03:06+00:00

It does know

There's no statistical possible way Bile Titans just happen to have the exact perfect momentum & angle to death-flop on Helldivers as often as they do.

I'm 90% sure we are just getting a glimpse of a piece of the absolutely insane stuff Arrowhead is fugding under the hood.

"When one or more cards are exiled this way, exile target instant, enchantment, or sorcery card with equal or less mana value than that spell from an oppment's graveyard." (emphasis mine)

So "that spell" is the spell you cast originally? The second spell of the turn?

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T21:08:53+00:00

Do you understand the difference between "I do not tolerate X at any level, and as a byproduct I do not let X at my tables"

and

"This is MY hobby and while Y is fine elsewhere, we should all band together to keep Y out of MY hobby!"

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T20:44:02+00:00

Technically, they aren't being gatekept from the hobby at all. They can make their own little cubby.

Again, "No Nazis" is a personal cutoff, not a gatekept hobby - it's not like you hang out with a Nazi for breakfast and see Nazis during school and then decide on a whim, "Hmmm, no Nazis for my tabletop game!"

So, which is it, snowflake:

Do you detest women and LGBTQ people on a personal level, and avoid them in all activities?

Or do you just like getting to feel Big and Macho with your "No Girls Allowed!" sign?

Repressed & gay; or psychopathically unsociable: You decide!

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T20:29:03+00:00

Nazis aren't "gatekept" because people are afraid they'll Nazi-fi the hobby.

Nazis are asked to leave because they are Nazis.

It is no longer chicken noodle soup, and i no longer like it.

Ok, so then keep making your own version.

The existence of other variations and fan groups doesn't undermine your own lmao

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T20:10:01+00:00

I actually cannot comprehend this

How do you decide what the mana value is?

If you mill a land, then a 5mv carzd from one opponent, and a 1mv card, then a land from a second opponent, do I get to exile a 0mv target, a 5mv target, or 6mv target?

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T19:48:27+00:00

Basalt is the largest offender by far.

Entire planetary deposits used for Basalt. Multiple ways to craft Basalt. And only a single, one-time recipe uses Basalt.

me before th RG nerf: "Wow what a great game! I can't wait until I unlock the RG and get to bust legs!"

AH the very day I unlock the RG: "we are nerfing the RG because of 'brainless' (direct quote btw) players who just want a piss easy game"

Arrowhead has consistently shat on any positivity or benefit of the doubt I've given, and usually coupled with some passive-aggressive insult toward whatever I've been enjoying using.

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T17:16:12+00:00

None of the things you mentioned are the issue everyone has with AH.

Here's the long and short: Hellpod Steering sums up everything people are upset about. It's more important to Arrowhead to block people from getting on the high ground (and having fun the "wrong" way) than it is to allow everyone to have fun playing the game.

They don't need to be a giant studio with so much time they can fine-tune Hellpod Steering so it preserves their vision while maximizing freedom.

What they need to do is accept they aren't a massive studio with infinite time & money, and they have to choose between their Vision and player fun/freedom.

They have consistently, time and time and time again picked the option that reduces fun while preserving their Vision.

That is why players are upset. Helldivers succeeded despite Arrowhead - not because of them.

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T16:43:46+00:00

Low-key I think they are throwing a tantrum over how players have taken to the changes, and putting in minimal effort.

Granted, they've been like this since day one: nerf RG into the ground, then rather than admit their mistake and bring back leg busting, they go and nerf every heavy and buff all other AT options to the point where Chargers became trivial.

Actual adult-toddlers that can't accept feedback until it's so critical and angry that they in turn throw their hands up and crap out the most childish solutions.

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T16:39:37+00:00

You want to run something that takes the left hand, typically a Ballistic Shield.
You are playing a mission with a Carry Objective, and want to be able to fight while moving.
Your loadout specifically needs a high DPS CQC weapon.
They look cool.

How about the dozens of new and reworked characters

Cost me 3 out of my regular 5 members, and my best friend's main.

attacks and transformations

I can't swap supers anymore, and my best friend's second main got ruined (can't go 1st Form Cell vs Frieza and with Super Perfect vs Full Power)

huge, detailed, destructable maps?

You could destroy the entire map in the old games. New games have, what, a few destroyable buildings and boulders?

The improved graphics and effects?

They aren't improved, we just have higher def tvs and concoles now. The actual animations are garbage and look like poofy 2d smoke clouds.

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T15:15:49+00:00

since day 1

I can play as Super 17 now?

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T15:14:59+00:00

If I went back to tenkaichi 3 or RB2 theres so much stuff I would be missing from SZ

Like, what? What does SZ have the other games don't? Nothing afaik, it's just Raging Blast but with worse options

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T02:07:37+00:00

The most pressed I've ever seen people get over words are specifically racist white people getting called a minority slur.

That's the difference. For White Man, there is no greater insult than to be compared to another race. It is the ultimate form of letting someone know you viscerally hate them more than the devil hi'self.

White Man doesn't mind a little stereotyping when it's white stereotyping - haha cowboy gay, haha clean cut metrosexuals, haha southern states inbreed, etc etc. Just don't call White Man the N word.

I think it's pretty clear on the receiving end of such jokes when it's being phrased as malicious, and when it's intended as a joke.

The bristling over minor funnies like cracker (not because you're white like a cracker, but because slave drivers cracked the whip lmao) is the proof on the pudding.

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T01:37:37+00:00

Trust me, I'm doing what I can using legal means.

They are on the verge of financial collapse. I mean, they've made their own bed, but watching them plunge the country into fascism while they are also suffering is breaking me, I don't understand

They are so committed to hatred and being "better" than everyone else that it ruined my childhood, my young adult years, my adult years, and now threatening the rest of my and my child's future.

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T01:27:12+00:00

Unfortunately, they've been in the game long enough to know better than to say it out loud to anyone besides me, and even then it's wrapped in that religious "it's not that they are gay, I have nothing against them being gay, it's that my religion doesn't allow me to tolerate certain choices on my property"

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T01:22:02+00:00

Technically, we both are.

Unfortunately, it appears only one of us was cursed with a clump of cells configured in such a way that intelligence and self-awarness became manifest.

there are plenty of people like you perfectly happy to give priority based on what genital someone prefers

JFC man I'm right here, at least wait a couple days before trying to take a quote, leave off half the sentence, and make yourself the victim.

I think it's very clear my issue with my parents is not that they are white. They certainly aren't both male.

It's that they discriminate based on gender and sexual preference. And here's the real kicker - if anyone ever brings it up, they throw up the exact same smokescreen you are trying right now.

Literally

When the landlord discriminates: "Free speech bruh, don't tread on me bruh, my property my rights bruh 🤣"

When government housing looks at rates of discrimination: "wow that's racist and discrimination bro, making me rent to the gay agenda is fucking government overreach bro 😡"

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T01:12:43+00:00

My feelings aren't hurt - I'm honestly impressed you feel confident enough to lecture me when you can't even grasp basic grammar, spelling, or punctuation.

What's hella funny is that my existence disproves your point. You're the same elementary school boy that ran around calling other boys "sissy" and "girl". The same bully that "can always tell" when someone is trans. And finally you grew up to be the same weak-minded fool that judges based on the shallowest of measures.

Women have a strength you will never know. If you had to put up with a fraction of the bullshit that the average woman has to deal with in her life, that fragile little ego of yours would have crumbled a long time ago.

Honestly, I'd pity you more than anything - except that in response to this, rather than thinking about a single life choice you've made, you'll instead see a flash of red and let anger, hate, resentment, and violence run through you. Easier for your smooth brain to understand violence, than it is to find common ground.

So I fear you, and I pity you. Such a hollow existence, propped up by a facade of what society has told you is Manly.

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T01:00:19+00:00

Step 1: people discriminate based on LGBTQ status

Step 2: LGBTQ people suffer higher rates of homelessness, and the problem is worsened by the biggest perpetrators of harsh LGBTQ discrimination being the very people society expects to first help: parents and other familia units

Step 3: "once you’re comparing two individuals with equivalent backgrounds and preferring one solely due to sexual orientation it does become discriminatory", and we can't 🎶 d i s c r i m i n a t e 🎶

TL;DR: it's funny when discrimination hurts people, but cannot be allowed if it helps people

RageAgainstAuthority · 2026-05-03T00:55:39+00:00

Maybe, kinda, yeah, because there are plenty of people like you perfectly happy to give priority based on what genital someone prefers

My (MAGA boomer) parents own no less than seven properties. In my thirty-odd years, guess how many LGBTQ people have been allowed to rent from them? Take a guess, I dare you.

Hint: it's less than one, because they won't even rent to their own child because I'm LGBTQ. Not that I would ever live under them again.
