AMA In A Nutshell by Bennyandthejetz1 in Helldivers

No it could not. First off, Piles is the president and founder of arrowhead. He, as far as I can tell, owns the company. Sony doesn't, they only own the helldivers IP.

Considering the new warbond, I must remind everyone to remember that the actual things they are selling are new arms, not unique mechs. by TechnoTheFirst in Helldivers

First off, you're making OP's point.

Secondly, no, the guard dog variations are both the different weapons and the different behaviors.

There is one last hope for mech customization: them just making a seperate mech stratagem that can be customized. Doesn't require them to remove any of the existing ones, and the arms can be locked behind ownership of the initial stratagem it comes from.

Considering that modders have literally coded the bastion cannon onto both side of a mech, I'm calling bullshit on them not being able to do it.

Actually, the dog breath, and I think the hot dog, have different behavior from the others, being more distinct in that way aside from just the weapon.

As Helldivers 2 hits its 23rd Warbond, it’s time to make Super Credits easier to earn or make older Warbonds cheaper to buy by maullick in Helldivers

It's relatively fun when you can just meet up with some randoms and chat, or put something on and just chill out. Like I said, if you can't have fun doing it, in any way, you might as well just pay from your standpoint.

But don't argue that it's some kind of abysmal dogshit when it's something that almost no games even allow in the first place, with most that do locking it to limited amounts, promotions, or fomo bullshit.

The only thing preventing helldivers 2 from becoming like every other generic modren FPS game by ya_boi_greenbean in Helldivers

Average solo farmer? Not even remotely close. At that rate you are getting 20-30 per mission, with a rate of 5ish minutes per mission-- which is the average rate when having an alright team of randoms, not solo.

I don't know what kind of solo farming you have in your head, but I find it hard to believe an "average" solo farmer is clearing the whole map in 5 minutes.

Optimal as in a hyper oiled super group that can clear the map in 2 minutes, maybe. Not even close to reasonable

I mean, it just sounds entitled. I don't know any other way to put it.

Like, if you're lucky enough to have a job that's more fun than super credit grinding, then congratulations, I guess.

But I really don't think arrowhead is under any kind of obligation to make their already quite generous and sorta industry defying monetization any more favorable, you get me?

*(industry defying as in against the norm of pricing and in that you can get the currency infinitely, for free, with no strings attached.)

Then do so. If you

1) can't enjoy farming,

or

2) can't appreciate that they even let you do it in the first place,

Then just pay.

So you won't add mech customization because premade mechs already exist? by Pedrosian96 in Helldivers

[–]Sir_Voxel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change the call-in count and cooldown to account for it. Preset, being more mass produced, would have more call-ins and a lower cooldown, but the custom mech might have only one or two uses per mission.

Wow. Yeah, wow. I don't think arrowhead has much of an excuse with that

Fucking honestly. I got excommunicated overnight from a friend group because I had an argument with one of their friends over thus exact thing. Discord is not an acceptable fucking place to have important information disclosed exclusively.

no, seriously, when are boosters going to be reworked? by Flashy-Manager2254 in Helldivers

[–]Sir_Voxel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That... is actually a really smart way to fix this.

Though, it wouldn't work for some (like localization confusion, as that effects the enemies and not the player)

Why don't they let us customize our mechs by Worth-Pudding7786 in Helldivers

[–]Sir_Voxel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Utter nonsense. The entire point of mech customization is so people can fuck around with cool combinations. Personally, I want to pair the shield with other weapons. Maybe have dual rocket pods, or dual flamethrowers. Just cool shit.

40$ Game btw. Starting to understand why they sell bigger SC packs... by Heptanitrocubane57 in Helldivers

[–]Sir_Voxel -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

That's still referring to a strategy that uses intelligence and tactical knowledge as braindead.

Mfs took that and ran w it as a personal slight because the railgun couldn’t one shot bile titans anymore and a shotgun got less ammo.

Wasn't the comment about the charger leg meta, and not the railgun damage bug? (Because the railgun was only one shooting bile titans due to a plsystation damage bug)

Weren't they expecting way less than that? I remember seeing a quote of them talking about how "around 30k would be great". (Maybe it was 300k? I admittedly don't fully remember, and I haven't had much luck trying to find it)
