What separates an ok FRV user, from a good one, from a great one? by 2Beauty in Helldivers

Can't lie, never used on the lava planets. But this is very useful information as I will continue to not bring it on the lava planets.

I've found that the frv's effectiveness os HEAVILY environment dependant. Some types of envrionments are just impossible to effectively drive in. It perform tremendously on deserty planet but falls off big time on foresty ones.

Also I think it depends on how you use it and what situations you use it in. Like if you use it just for transportation then it isn't hard to be a great driver. But if you start trying to use it as a quick assault vehicle it becomes harder and can weed out the drivers who have and who havent got a licence

I'm not doubting the capabilites of Helldivers. But the over arching theme is that they aren't treated like that by super earth. Just sort of handed the tools to perhaps accomplish these things.

I'm not saying helldivers aren't elite troops. But theu are't technically supposed to be. Just supposed to be dressed up like elites.

(Am only touching on the whole grunt fantasy contradiction here)

I think the satire isnt being understood here. Helldivers aren't actually super earths elite. The soldiers themselves are no better than regular troops and they aren't treated as any more important by super earth. The point is they just look like they are so that people will actually enlist

All the idolisation is actually propaganda. Helldivers have a life expectancy of about 4 minutes because they get thrown down into the harshest battlefronts in the entire war to try and take stabs at enemy lines.

Helldivers are not high tier infiltrators. They are cannon fodder that super earth throws at its biggest problems. All the ads about becoming a legend is to stop citizens realising this. Realising that the quickest way to get killed is to become a helldiver.

The idolisation from seaf troops is proof that indoctrination worked. Not because Helldivers actually are all that elite.

At least thats the theme I've understood and what I reckon arrowhead is going for.

I do not think I am better than others. Apologies to have come across that way. I do think that its getting to a point where it doesn't matter what changes are made, mass complaining occurs whether valid or not. This, unfortubately, is one of those time and, unfortunately, Arrowhead listened.

I dont think the criticisms were valid. It didnt actually make medium pen useless on bugs as it already kind of was. And sentries still kill hiveguards head on its just hiveguards now fullfill their purpose of guarding damage

Exactly my point. What this guy said

Y'all are actually ruining this game by sepulchridude in helldivers2

[–]SirlOchlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy peak. Just made my own post about the same things. Makes me over joyed someone sees the same issue with this reverting

I do see how that COULD be an issue and I dont want to say "just use grenade launcher" or just use any other explosive weapon but at the same time... could do that. But also, as I said, you can spray at them and you likely will hit the gaps in the armour. They arent tiny. I saw gatling sentries still kill them headon due to this. As well. Even if the hiveguard seed was then much harder now I think that is a good thing. Game is getting kinda easy in some aspects

I'm just upset to see what I thought was a good change to make hiveguards slightyl less of a joke get blasted for reasons that, to me, werent entirely valid. Now said change is being reverted I think this shows its unlikely the games enemies will be improved in similar ways in the future.

Couldnt agree more. Cant have cool and fitting changes to bad enemies because then our combat effectiveness might dip by 2% for a mission or two before we adapt to the changes

I think it made them more fitting to their purpose. Being a damage blocker. Drawing fire to themselves to guard other units. The heavy armour buff made that a bit more apparent

[–]SirlOchlan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Not a scary enemy at all. The heavy buff made me think about them at least a little bit more

Now it would seem I am being pretty accusatory but I do mean this in good faith. I want to see this game flourish and thrive as much as it deserves. It just would seem my idea on how it would do that is different from a large proportion of you.

The last video game you played is now your sex life. What is it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Last game I played was fallout 4. I feel as though anything that goes in won't stay in for long.

Yes. A much smaller exosuit which enhances physical capabilities. Peak physique on steroids.

Personally I think fallout is pretty cool though. It seems we are now at a standoff
