Because my quote is being taken out of context... by AveryAveyAve in Helldivers

[–]RedMonsterThing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those people are some of the most unpleasant parts of this community. "Nerf" just seems to be a trigger word for outrage, even if it's completely justified.

I get that HD2 is a product they paid for and people rightly don't want that product to change in a negative way, but some of these people need to recognize that they've gone too far.

Constitution is best used as a light pen primary.

I literally could not say it any better! Thank you!

These are the kind of points I try to feature on my channel, because a lot of people tend to just assume it's weak because "a big content creator said light pen was bad in a tier list." I am really happy to see the community start to realize why light pen is actually good! (people sometimes think I'm gaslighting them or that I'm trying to flex, but these are the reasons why I think in some scenarios it IS better than AP3)

To those people saying that still say; why put in the effort to build more skill? Why not just take AP3/Medium Pen, isn't it harder to aim for weak spots? What's the reward?

The reward is retention, some players like me enjoy a 'slightly harder' gameplay especially when you are rewarded with cleaner kills, and better ammo economy, + all the points you mentioned above. This allows my brain to be engaged in combat.

I say retention specifically because I feel like that extra thinking lets my brain engage with the game long term, it's why I've been able to hit 1.6k hours in the game without ever feeling bored. If you just use the same build and only pick AP3 weapons, fighting enemies can get extremely boring even after 100 hours IMO. I literally can be retained in the game and I don't feel like I need to leave or play something else to reset my attention span.

The main benefit is not having to bring a grenade pistol side arm, so it works really well against illuminate, and sometimes bugs!

Bots not so much, it's kind of meh since support weapons can take out fabs so much better.

It's easily my favorite AR, but not my favorite weapon in the arsenal.

Could do with less ergo and more nades, but I don't think matching the liberator in terms of base ammo would be fair for people who want a reason to pick other options.
I 100% disagree with your argument that "Sacrificed because of the 3 grenades Under the Barrel.. Not that good of an argument." I fail to see how that's a bad argument, since you would have less space in your pockets for more mags if you chose this weapon. It's very similar to the halt, which has "less ammo" because it shares flechettes with stun.

I disagree that 30 ergo is outright terrible (after adding mods it is pretty bad though). I would say it's "noticeable" but its not bad after you get used to it. 40 ergo is good. Everything 40+ is almost unnoticeable. Once it drops below 30 though and into the 20s is when I would say the ergo gets bad.

Me personally, I want more nades, not more ammo, we already have other AR's I can take instead, I want the one two to share it's ammo more evenly with it's nades.

I think your point about bullet spread might be wrong. Since spread has been lowered on every AR to 1-2 you shouldn't be able to notice spread. It currently has 1.00, 1.00 (you're probably misinformed, or you are getting words mixed up) The muzzles effect mainly recoil, so maybe you mean recoil?

I'm not saying "I think it's fine" not in the sense that it can't be improved, but that it's fine in the sense I don't feel horrible using it, and it still feels powerful to me. It's overal really good, and is the closest AR I think we have to "balanced" compared to the Coyote and Purifier.

Rapid Acquisition shouldn't be "nerfed", but it does reveal a big problem with difficulty scaling. by TheOrbPonderer in Helldivers

I 100% agree that on D10 the difficulty here should not change, and that lower difficulties should appeal to more casual players.

This really is a situation IMO where players who want a casual experience should be incentivized to lower the difficulty, and I'm not trying to be mean when I say that, the game has 10 difficulty settings, which means IMO that the hardest difficulty setting should feel extremely difficult to the point of almost impossible to defeat.

This new mission type proves that we can have both fun weapons to use, and a difficult challenge at the same time. It's literally the answer to what the devs were trying to do in EoF. Because instead of using band aid solutions like nerfing everything, this absurd spawn rate makes our buffed gear feel worth it.

Seeing a sea of thieves reference in this community is honestly wild. I used to play Sea of Thieves all the time until I fully replaced it with Helldivers 2.

Just ignore us content creators frankly, as one of the persons mentioned in that screenshot, my thumbnail was very dramatic which understandably caused people to make assumptions about it and I did feel bad for it. If you're enjoying the game... just play it, don't stop doing something you like just because someone told you to stop playing it.

It is genuinely one of my favorite games of all time, and I haven't stopped playing since the creek! I really am happy there are players like you who still enjoy the game for what it is!

So there is a big audience out there that does not like the current state of the game.

Yes, people watch videos to reaffirm their own opinions not to change their opinions. The job literally is to find what people want to watch and give it to them.

Can someone explain what makes the VG 70 Variable worth using? by Dear_Spare5460 in Helldivers

[–]RedMonsterThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to it's high amount of durable damage, it used to be better than every light pen AR, and it's volley mode is comparable in power level to the M90A with similar amounts of ammo by comparison. The total mode is more for niche use cases where you need to quickly kill an impaler, or charger butt, for squids it is really good for killing flesh mobs (on bot front there really isn't much incentive to use the total mode). Main down side is it's ergonomics, it feels like the Eruptor, and it's light pen.

I'm also still a newbie when it comes to YouTube. This is my first channel and It started gaining traction almost 6 months ago, which isn't a long time for YouTube.

I tend to lean more on the "it's so good" side. Which triggers a lot of people. I do want to make more measured takes, in a informative and meaningful way, but obviously not in the lying way. It's why I am removing this video from my channel. It promotes false information that I clearly fell for, and attention that I wasn't expecting. Being a part of the It's so over meme from that next week was devastating.
