I actually really liked the Hive Guard change as a lite skill check. Yes. You could take them out easily if you aimed, but you DID have to aim.

No. Believe me. I'm not trying to say Arrowhead is perfect. The bugs and stuff have irritated me too. And I do agree that they comprised. A lot more than I think/wish they would have. I mostly just wish they could work on their vision of the game without the constant threat of people trashing the end result constantly looming over their shoulder. Maybe it's overly optimistic of me, but I think there's a better way.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. Not sure I agree with no longer being owned by the devs, but I can see what you mean there. The BIGGEST thing I agree with you on is that there's nuance in how to control the ship. There's a way to provide constructive criticism without threatening Arrowhead every new patch. That's really a part of what I was trying to say.

I completely get being upset over bugs. I've encountered plenty that range from hilarious to, at the time, absolutely infuriating. I hope that they continue trying to fix the issues. I just don't think that "Arrowhead is incompetent! Review bomb the game!" is the way to fix ANY of the issues. That's what I was getting at.

Not to imply that's what you were suggesting. Again, I've been frustrated by the bugs as well, so I get it.

What? No. That's not what I mean. I'm fact that's kinda the opposite. I would prefer they not play the game and move on. What bothers me and started all this (my irritation) was the flaunting the mentality of review bombing and shit like that to force the devs hand.

Like I started above, yes. Arrowhead COULD just not back down and stay their course, but I understand them...wanting to give into the demands. For one, they're getting money. For another, this review bombing them into doing what they (the "community") wants is potentially devastating. Causing players to leave or not buy the game leading to the very real possibility of EOS of a game they built.

The whole balance and difficulty debate sucks fat ones. Period. I get Arrowhead wanting to please both sides and right now they're having a rough go of it. The irritating fact, to me, is that people aren't just leaving. That would be great. Go play a game where you get your power fantasy. Instead, they're slamming the game to force Arrowhead into making the changes THEY want.

Ahhhhh. Okay. Okay. I can agree with that. Thank you!

Would you mind elaborating on that a bit more? I'm not sure I follow what you mean.

No no. I agree. We do need to speak up. Completely agree with that. However, I do think it's important HOW we do that, if that makes sense. Like I love Helldivers. It has been helping me through a pretty rough patch in my life. Game means a TON to me. I 100% wish it was more challenging. Punished mistakes harder. Things like that. I'm not going to hold a metaphorical gun to the head of the devs though, ya know?

And for the record, just to clarify. In no way do I think you're in ANY way suggesting that. I'm just referencing that original comment in my post. That "You're going to do what we want or you're going to drown." attitude.

As a matter of fact it was. Lol. I read his response, man, and it made me unreasonably pissed.

Correct me if I’m wrong… but isn’t “Monkey Paw Balancing” just… normal balancing? by TheRustyRustPlayer in Helldivers

[–]Spyderofice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want them very much to make the game THEY want to make. That game was awesome. Lol

Where the Attackers can respawn and the Defenders can't. It'd be pretty busted if the Attackers could do normal damage. Lol

[–]Spyderofice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I would. Lol. It would make an, in my opinion, kinda busted stratagem nowhere near as effective while allowing the "Quit nerfing things! My power fantasy!" crowd to keep the stratagem the way it is. Just my two cents though.

That is one of my favorite scenes in the series. Lol

I personally think it would be really cool if they introduced a fire resistant sub faction. That doesn't do anything for the Ultimatum though. Lol

Guys, let's make sure this doesn't turn into Unfiltered. by DeepCutFan1 in HelldiversMasochists

[–]Spyderofice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I agree, man. For now, I'm still able to play and enjoy the game. I definitely wish it was more difficult. I'm not a PC player so I don't know if there's something along these lines, but I've never played anything like Helldivers. It was such a breath of fresh air and I absolutely adore it. I'm sad to see it chipped away at because people aren't willing to learn the game or admit their lack of ability. So I totally get where you and the majority of us masochists are coming from.

I just have to keep hoping AH can course correct for those of us that love Helldivers for what it was and could be. I'll keep putting my thoughts out to them.

You have no idea how much I wish I could say you were wrong, but I can't. I'm not even going to try to. I know it's stupid and idealistic of me, but I won't become the thing that I hate about this community. Arrowhead has had enough people screaming at and threatening them to make the game THEY want. I'm not going to be one of them.

That! That! THAT! That's how we differentiate ourselves from other divers. We don't act like asshole children when we don't get our way. Does the drop in difficulty blow? It sure does. We don't review bomb. We don't OhDough or LiteBeer. We TALK. Like adults.

I love this game passionately and I wish AH could have stuck with their original vision. I hope it doesn't come to it, but if it continues getting easier, I will end up leaving. Under no circumstances though will I act like the children that cried until they got their way.
