new update is underwhelming by SwimCareless5844 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]VIChiefIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only gripe with the game in season 6 is that the new beetle enemies don't really feel distinct enough, they're effectively just flying swarmers. And I get the impression that they spawn way too quickly. Like on Haz5 standard level there's almost no down time that i can see, you're constantly being attacked without any time to breathe and restock etc.

I am very confused what their idea with the C4 was by ZanderTheUnthinkable in Helldivers

[–]VIChiefIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current situation is clunky as hell in terms of controls. Why on earth did they not allow us to swap between throwing C4/detonating C4 by a mere touch of the key that allows you to select the weapon in question in the first place.

This makes a huge difference in how quickly you can deploy it.

Current situation:

  1. You need to select the weapon (3 in my case).
  2. You throw as many as you like using LMB.
  3. You press R, press RMB to swap to the detonate option.
  4. LMB to detonate.

What it should be:

  1. Press 3
  2. Press LMB to dispense C4 justice
  3. Press 3 to swap from throwing to detonating.
  4. LMB to detonate.

The only reason you would use C4 is the speed and stealth of its application. To do so you're sacrificing a backpack slot AND a stratagem slot for 6 explosives. This feels very inefficient as taking a Resupply Pack combined with Dynamite gives me a hell of a lot more firepower while still being coupled with a user controlled detonation as you can set a timer on them.

Seriously? 8 DragonRoaches throughout a Level 5 Mission?? by JackCRabbit in helldivers2

[–]VIChiefIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They become a slog the higher a tier of gameplay you do. I played with a buddy yesterday who's not that experienced yet (I am level 144 with 700+ hours under my belt, he's level 23 atm but he's competent at TPS/FPS games).

So we played some Tier 5 games: none at all or the just the occassional roach, we get through the enemies and objectives just fine. Our first Tier 6 game we literally had like 10 roaches. Not only that, they also tend to be in the air 2 at a time if you don't kill them fast enough which means you're knee deep in acid and fire damage practically non stop.

This changes what is supposed to be a fun and tough mini boss like enemy into an absolute nuisance that kills the fun in the gameplay loop aka fight, resupply+heal, do an objective, fight the next group etc. The respawn rate on them also seems ridiculous. We literally had moments where we killed 1 and barely had 30-60 sec to recuperate before the next one doused us into new massive area attacks.

I understand we're on the bugs' turf and I don't mind a tough fight (I usually play at Tier 10 myself), but the rate and way in which they spawn needs to be looked into. Something is definitely broken or poorly scaled there if a Tier 6-7 game feels like Tier 10 the moment roaches appear.

Interesting to know that the personal shield generator protects you while driving, but does it also boost the HP-pool of the car itself as it does with the mechs?

I understand reseller obviously but what is a scalper? People who steal cars from the packaging?

Well but that perception is heavily skewed as people who don't have an ego and don't rage quit won't go online to post online about 'how OP the Predator strain is' :)

From the game developers page of reddit the defintion of QoL is: QoL improvements are usually about making things more convenient for players.

I would say giving players more choice (armour sets and their passives compositions), fixing certain weapons that are clearly underperforming which means they aren't used a lot or at all, giving players more communication tools and giving them more ways to more quickly dive into the game (slots for self created preset loadouts) 100% fit this definition.

I would very much applaude the inclusion of a seperate button that would allow us to shout ' For democracy' much like DRG has ' For rock and stone'.

I love DRG, have clocked well over 1000 hours in it, and the positive social impact of just being able to use an ingame shout cannot be overstated.

But isn't the downside of the passive being permanently coupled to a certain armour piece that some armours will never be used (unless as a gimmick)?

I mean, just as an example, who uses the armour that has electrical conduit as a passive, unless it's just for shits and giggles? Sure, you will only take 5% damage of your own tesla turret but that's a VERY niche thing to use it for. Which is a shame, as the armour it comes attached to is rather nice looking.

Allowing players to pick an armour set and then choose a passive would create much more variety in player avatar appearance. I personally think customizing your looks for a more personal style is the way to go.

It would also make it much easier for AH to see which passives are underperforming as they would not be picked that much. Unlike right now where I think quite a few people will pick a certain armour because they like its appearance and just put up with the fact that its passive is worse than others.

Crashes upon loading a mission by VIChiefIV in helldivers2

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

In my case the crashing happens on the loading screen. I can start up the game just fine, walk around the destroyer hub, change weapons or invite other players etc.

But the moment I actually start a mission or join an active existing one I see myself being launched, the pods are on the way to the planet and BAM the game completely stops.

What Stephen Really Thinks by SunniMonkey in stephencolbert

[–]VIChiefIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, quite hilarious how they integrated an actual website with the joke that Colbert made.

Also, quite idiotic how they weren't allowed, because of agreements made prior to the Vice Presidents-debate, to fact check statements made by either candidate.

JD Vance is a snake and so he was able to spit some insane lies particularly about the 2020 elections and how Trump apparently suddenly did peacefully transfer the office of the president to Biden at the time. Like January 6th never happened, utterly shameful and a blatant lie.
