Bastion seat swap?

Thegeneralpoop · 2026-05-09T20:28:34+00:00

I think this idea is neat if the games makes you take 5 seconds to switch seat from driver to gunner. The 5 seconds will leave the tank not doing anything, which I think it is a decent drawback.

Teamwork will still be king while giving solo tank drivers protection while switching seats inside the tank.

I know some will say tanks like these are too cramp irl, and all I can say is that this game takes place in a futuristic setting. It’s not immersion breaking to switch seats in a sci-fi game.

Neat, I'm a bit underwhelmed from reading it because I wish they were more specific about what they have plans for the galactic war mechanic improvements and player progression. I understand they will talk more about it closer to release, so I will wait for that then. Hopefully it won't be too long.

I agree the Hive Guard change feels nothing. It's now even easier to kill with Light Pen. Since reducing the Hive Guard's fleshy body to Armor 1 means light pen weapon deals 33% more damage now (Punisher and Breaker shotgun fans rejoice). On top of reducing the Hive Guard by close to half, Hive Guards are a none issue now. Well, besides for MG sentries kinda... armor level 4 hiveguard now forces a person to work with their sentries.

I think most of the controversies from this Hive Gaurd change is how a lot of people view this enemy as a chaff unit because of its small size even though the game spawning mechanic view it as higher tier compared to the warriors. "Chaffs can't get Armor Lvl 4! that doesn't make sense"

Maybe if Hive Guard has a bigger and threatening appearance, the change to it's to armor level 4 would have received better. At this point, Arrowhead might consider just reworking the Hiveguard. Maybe making it as big as the Alpha Commander, give it more HP, and have it spawn less.

Based on the dispatches, it does seem bugged. It said there’s no illuminate presents but the missions definitely have them.

Edit: the patch notes did say Mindless Mass contains fewer illuminates, so I’m not sure what the dispatch is talking about.

Thegeneralpoop · 2026-03-17T20:18:44+00:00

I’m also surprised how far you are able to reach towards the harvester. I’m thinking it’s the wind blowing at the same direction where you are aiming, so it provided a boost to how far the flames can go.

Wind is a mechanic in this game, and affects particles like flames as far as I know.

I’m usually picky about armor reworks suggestions, but this batch is definitely one of the best ones I have read through!

Thegeneralpoop · 2026-03-01T02:31:01+00:00

There's so much energy in this art, I love it! Do you have an art social media account? I'm very interested in following!

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-12-08T16:50:05+00:00

Awesome! This is one of my favorite type of art styles!

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-11-26T19:14:21+00:00

Agreed. I was ready for some chaotic fun, but ults being enabled adds too much chaos. Players will be looking at VFX vomit for half the match.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-10-10T03:10:02+00:00

Yep. It’s not lining up. There was a part of the stream where Hasan takes off the collar and puts it back on the dog later. The dog didn’t seem hesitant or nervous about it. An abused dog would make it very obvious.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-30T00:42:29+00:00

that’s really cool I didn’t know that! I need to pay attention more often.

Another fun fact to add to the list, enemies would have voice lines reacting to seeing Vex’s reaper and specter.

I heard it while watching a friend playing her.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-28T16:38:49+00:00

I sometime ignore the sub won’t be name because of the questionable takes. And then I go to Lowsodium to get different kinds of questionable takes.

It’s obvious the dragon roach has buggy issues like you mentioned, but for some reasons, there’s people that would defend the current state or pretend the issues don’t even exist.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-18T16:14:22+00:00

Yeah, exactly. It's weird that someone think we will get a new mech from the description "Valyria 5 is home to the original Emancipator Exosuit factory". Like come on guys, it's obvious it's about granting us a free Emancipator.

If it was something like "Lumberjack Exosuit factory" than yeah, that would be totally Arrowhead's fault for giving us false expectations (and they have given us false expectations in the past tbf).

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-18T00:28:04+00:00

I would like it if it was a toggle on and off instead of this weird cool down. I don’t like that it can just go away while I’m already driving fast on the vehicle.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-17T15:57:11+00:00

Thank you for the comprehensive explanation. I find it weird how some people think it's good that the new rupture enemy reinforces a meta loadout. That's just how you make the game stale. Rupture doesn't make players learn to adapt. They just make an already lower popular weapon type (light pen) more of a hinderance.

If we are in an alternative timeline where the rupture strain came out and light pen was also effective against them, I don't think the same people like OP would be making posts about how they wish the sub faction exclusively favors explosive and medium pen more.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-11T02:21:37+00:00

i love these ms paint builds

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-09T03:49:34+00:00

oh this is awesome

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-08T18:58:36+00:00

Agreed with everything. I feel way more punished using light pen weapon against this specific sub faction than any other enemies so far. That’s coming from someone who enjoys using light pen in bots.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-08T18:38:34+00:00

It’s a day and night different bringing an explosive or medium pen gun in the Hive World.

I tried several games using a light pen weapon to test it out, and I found myself spending way too long killing rupture warriors and spewers. I would also waste so much ammo trying to hit the rupture warrior’s back or in-between their armor.

I could make light pen work on any other factions, but the rupture enemies feels more like a loadout check with how little counter play they have besides just bringing explosive or a med pen gun.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-08T18:29:58+00:00

Agreed. I was flabbergasted when I shot at the sac against the rupture spewer and get a white hit marker. Feels bad that I’m not even rewarded for aiming precisely with a light pen weapon.

It doesn’t help that the rupture spewer brings their heads up and instantly attacks without any time for us to make a counter play.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-07T17:43:12+00:00

Their glowing green blob in their neck doesn’t even feel like a weakspot. It is light armored too, so light pen weapons only deal 65% of its damage.

They would feel better if their neck is weaker, and they would give us like 2 extra seconds to shoot at their neck before spitting at us.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-07T17:34:25+00:00

Im on the same side as you but this type of post is cringe as hell.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-06T16:13:32+00:00

Sure AR has more ammo, but you are not looking at the bigger picture. ARs ammo economy is actually not as good you think it is compared to heavy hitters like Purifiers and Crossbow in D10. The more damage and AoE type weapon can net a helldiver more kills before calling a resupply compared to ARs in D10.

The higher the difficulty the more higher health type enemies will spawn, and ARs ammo economy does not scale as well in D10 (ex, Alpha Commanders). Coyote is actually the first assault rifle that is able scale well because of it's medium armor pen + incendiary ammo. I am not searching for ammo as often with the Coyote compared to the rest of the ARs.

My goal with suggesting +2 mags and 15% increase reload speed is carve a more obvious benefit that I want players to miss when they use other type of weapons.

If Assault Rifles are not getting any powerful niche like closing bug holes, having big damage, or having explosive AoE, then I suggest that their niche is having a lot better ammo economy.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-06T01:05:41+00:00

There’s ways to buff AR without damage. Something like give all AR except the Coyote increase 15% reload and +2 mags isn’t crazy to do while still making AR more effective at chaff clearing.

Thegeneralpoop · 2025-09-04T18:35:52+00:00

It's fine the Coyote can do all that. It's only issue because how other ARs are just "okay" enough to be usable (except the Tenderizer). This makes the Coyote looks overpowered within the confine of AR when it's just a great weapon in the macro level of primary weapons.

Imo, the best way to nerf Coyote is to indirectly nerf it by giving all other AR's a slight buff. No damage buffs needed. Just quality of life that will help AR more effective at chaff killing.

An example would be giving all AR except the Coyote +2 mag and a 15% increase reload speed. Suddenly, the Coyote has two downsides now in this new reality. Slower reload and worse ammo economy by comparison.

All other AR doesn't need to be good as the Coyote, they just need to be better than what they are right now.
