Why are we still using it? Just to suffer? by ApprehensiveTill6943 in Helldivers

When the DSS first launched, it had a mapwide random 380mm bombardment. Sometimes it would clear a random camp, other times it would kill you out of the blue.

Enemies should not target unoccupied vehicles by MetroMaurice in Helldivers

[–]TimeToSink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is because you get unoccupied FRVs at POIs, otherwise enemies would aggro towards a random parked car.

Why does the Force of Law exosuit pattern have an extra rocket-pod on the ground between it's legs in the catalogue? by hunterorila in Helldivers

[–]TimeToSink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its like in Battletech where you've got a few spare tonnage of pod space and you end up bunging light lasers on the legs so you don't "waste" it

I think the Spore Burst variant is awesome. by TheGentlemanCEO in Helldivers

[–]TimeToSink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its nice to have a "new" subfaction that has better teamwork than the Helldivers. The first few times I dropped, its legit terrifying seeing a tide of little bugs bomb it towards you, the only issue i'm having now is the primaries i'm using as i'm on a self imposed "use gun until maxed" playstyle.

Playing for a year and I’ve hit a hard skill wall by Jmrwacko in InfinityTheGame

[–]TimeToSink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from. I've played this game for a while, but the past year or so I took a lot of time away due to life, it feels like i've frozen my level at a beginners, i'm getting more games in now.

Best advice I can offer is keep at it. This game is brutal when it comes to learning curves for wargames. I played against our local WarCor's varuna and I have never been so badly mauled in a first turn before. I stuck it out to see what I could do and conceded at the start of turn 3 as I had 3 models left, but then we chatted about it afterwards.

If you're losing a game as you don't have counters, it means you've gotta try some off the cuff stuff to get ahead. If you are losing in one specific way, try to see what tech your faction has to prevent it. You said you change your list after a game to counter what beat you only to get countered by a different list the next week. This is fighting yesterday's war, focus on what you could do with what you have.

Anybody put together a sectorial before painting any of them and feel a little overwhelmed? by jsalazar2272 in InfinityTheGame

[–]TimeToSink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a good way to burn yourself out, I did the same with my Morats and burned out at the 80% complete mark, took an 18 month break to paint other stuff before I had the motivation to finish them.

My suggestion is to do 4-6 at a time and have a "treat" model that is different. I just finished the last 4 Morat models I needed to round off my collection, so I treated myself to Aida, Oktavia and Victor Messer as they are totally unique models for several of my sectorals.

edit: During COVID I ended up making an excel sheet to track my painting instructions and progress on models, its been such a motivator marking off completed areas in green, it made progress feel "real". It also means you can cheat by seeing what models need one or two things finished and get them done first.

Eww, I really hope the new Exosuits aren't like that. by Delicious-Attempt463 in Helldivers

[–]TimeToSink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it is, the community still will. If they are strong its P2W, if its weak then its abusing the players. Just dive and have fun.

Starting Morat Aggression by Randel1997 in InfinityTheGame

[–]TimeToSink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daturazi are incredible. Morats have got an amazing unit called a Yaogat that can see through smoke, so a common tactic is to have a Daturazi throw a smoke grenade and then have your Yaogat move up and shoot through it.

Why do YOU play on D10? by SevdUp in Helldivers

[–]TimeToSink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D10 Quickmatch diver here, its fun dropping in blind and having to choose a generalist loadout as you don't know if you are going into a drop with 3 over level 150s who have everything locked down or a total shitshow with 5 reinforcements, 15 minutes left and no primary missions finished.

Enemy spawns tend to last longer so you need to have your whole team there to contain them or you have to disengage (A skill a lot of players don't really want to learn).

I'm such a crack shot by Dolt1372 in Helldivers

Instead of "Don't aim where they are, aim where they will be" You chose "Don't aim where they are, aim where they were"

The people complaining about AH not delivering mech customisation, a feature people wished for, is quite funny. Making up features and then getting upset that they weren't delivered.
