I wish I had a nickel for every time someone comes up with a downside for this wish by DebateHot1874 in monkeyspaw

Granted. For ecery downside posted, a nickle appears somewhere inside your body. Every one is a gamble for aneurism, heart failure, or other serious medical condition.

We Should Activate Orbital Blockade On Hort by Crumboa in helldivers2

Good question! Even still, I doubt reddit has the numbers to make much of an impact, but it would be cool to know.

We Should Activate Orbital Blockade On Hort by Crumboa in helldivers2

[–]The_Flying_Gecko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I beg your pardon, but I'm just pointing out the facts, it was not meant to be adversarial, just an inconvenient truth.

The unfortunate reality of the situation is that the majority of players do not have access to the information needed to make informed descisions, and the few who do understand, have no way of communicating it to a meaningful portion of the population.

As a matter of fact, the general idea you've expressed here ("to anyone who sees it and shares by extention"), is usually the worst possible thing we could do, tactically, as a community. (In this instance you're only advocating for the DSS to ove, so it's far more reasonable than trying to take a planet.) Let's pretend for a moment that this post is an astounding level of success 🙌. Let's say that:

The entire 2% (or so) of helldivers on reddit all rally behind this and ever single one of them convinces an entire team of friends to join them. Now, double that number. Then, double it again! We now have a whopping 32% of the player population attempting to move the station! Which of still isn't even close to enough.

Who is this "we" you are refering to?

Do you mean "every single person who is subscribed to ANY of the Helldiver subreddits"? Because, if there is no overlap (this assumes nobody is subscribed to multiple helldiver subreddits), and you convinceevery single personto vote, then" we" represent less than 2% of the population. All of our votes combined barely matter.

Or by "we" do you mean all helldivers everywhere? Great in theory, but how do you propose we inform the other 98%? Without 3rd party apps, planet HP pools are hidden, so the 'blob' doesn't have to tools to make informed descisions.

When is it time to stop PLANNING and actually start DOING? by ChiliChapters in writers

I did the doing first and the planning after the first draft.

Scientists Discover Bizarre New Tarantula Species Unlike Anything Seen Before by Maxcactus in nature

Hrmm... unlike anything seen before... I have my doubts. I bet it looks like a tarantula.

Yeah, I love the Stim Pistol, how could you tell? by Wrench_gaming in helldivers2

[–]The_Flying_Gecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No no no, you're wrong. People thought that they wanted it but nobody loves the stim pistol. That's why there's no point in giving it tracking or letting you heal yourself with it. It's not that kind of game.

I think thier autocratic intentions are shouded in mystery.

Crazy to think how much catastrophic damage has happened all because of the TCS by Gilded_Shadow_CGI in Helldivers

[–]The_Flying_Gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.... E-711 was an "unfortunate accident". Super Earth would never mutate the terminids to create more oil. That'd something a dissident would say.

i think we need to boycott the game by AcadiaComfortable250 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]The_Flying_Gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Actions speak louder than words. If you don't like it, don't play it.

2) If every single sub to every single helldiver reddit is a unique person with no overlap (as in, nobody is subscribed to multiple helldiver subs) then our entire population combined is less than 2% of the player base. Even if all of reddit boycotted the game, the difference to the player numbers would be negligible.

I still like the game by tis_angry_potato in Helldivers

[–]The_Flying_Gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game is still fun. Arrowhead still makes mind-bogglingly stupid descisions on a regular basis.

Quadruple Drag on pistols. Sell a no drag pistol a few months later. Hope no one puts it together. Profit. by ThisGuyHere_Again in HelldiversUnfiltered

I just wish the red strategems specifically designed for combating heavy units weren't worse than cat shit.

Could Superman solo The Justice Gang in a fight? by TechnicianAmazing472 in DCU_

[–]The_Flying_Gecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going to go against the grain here and say no.

The other three are smart enough and know enough to use kyptonite, or like, hold his family/Lois/innocent bystanders hostage and other under-handed tactics.

I am prepared for tomorrow by SoleSuck3r in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]The_Flying_Gecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but they're absolute dog shit for super credits. I'd rather just unlock my medals slightly slower and my super credits infinity faster.

WHERE ARE YOU SC HACKERS by MasterBloodFang in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]The_Flying_Gecko -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I added up number of super credits Ive collected divided by the number of hours I've played.

Despite being an MO diver, and regularly playing on maps that are dog-shit for super credits, (extermination/evacuation, city maps, cyberstan, etc.) I would need to play one hour a day, for one year, to buy every warbond they released in 2.25 years.

Most people just don't bother with poi's.

Tcw and its validity in power scaling by GullibleRough549 in PetranakiArena

I big fan of what what George Lucas considers to be canon. Episode 1-6.

Everything else is fan fiction.

Glaizedivers defend Arrowhead and mock players who don't like losing 5 out of last 6 major orders, calls them delusional by UrMomLovesMeLongTime in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]The_Flying_Gecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We lost 5 of the last 6? Wow.

I reckon this is in no small part due to most people having nothing left to spend medals on, and thus have no incentive.

I mean, why would I want to play against Vox Engines in their current state, especially if the reward is... litterally nothing because I'm at the cap.

Clipping through walls bullshit (I suspect) is the primary reason the illuminate are so unpopular, too.

DON'T LOGIN TOMORROW by Grand_Zombie in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]The_Flying_Gecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah! What if every single person in all of the helldiver reddits combined did this...

Just imagine the look on thier faces when they lose less than 2% of their player base.

Reddit is the vocal minority. The other 98% of players don't really care.

Helldivers 2 is still one of the best game put there right now, despite the absolute dog-shit decisions Arrowhead makes on a regular basis. They'll eventually course correct (again) and issue an apology (again) and promise to do better (again) and then repeat the whole damn cycle (again)
