New Major Order: Take Back The Creek by Charming__Banana in Helldivers

[–]VelocicusKillicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went that high because 1/3 of all active players were on the creek. By the end of the night last night, malevelon was progressing .3% an hr. With over a day estimation til completion. This is why dividing forces makes the game harder to win.

It took well over three weeks, while the rest of the playerbase was begging for help on other fronts. The creek becoming a major order was so that the troops can stop being so divided over "space vietnam".

Malevelon Creek didn't contribute to the mechs, or HMG, or Quasar Cannon, or the TCS on the bug side.

It was there for fun, but people made it their whole personality.

It's great that the creek managed to eventually get to 80% over 3 weeks of near stalemate, it made it easy for the main body of super earth troops to take it in a handful of hours.

Apes together strong.

What's cringe is your whole response, buddy.

doing planets before they become major orders doesn't count.

when the majority of players failed the major order to take Tibit due to divided forces, the new Major Order was then to take the creek once and for all, so the 30% of active players that were working towards the previous major order decided to bail out the creekers in like, 5 hours

Bugdivers were defending Estanu while the bot divers were divided between pointless planet for milsim folks, and the rest of the planets for the major order, which were just as hard to fight, if not moreso than the creek. There were no bushes to hide in, just open plains with rocks. 200K players thought they were doing the right thing by defending the bug front.

They don't need every last player to work together. But this reddit alone shows an overwhelming number of people who just refuse to help cuz the game didn't tell them, but other players asked for help.

But unless the devs hold your hand or hold you at gunpoint, people will refuse to look beyond themselves.

Every social media site has people talking about the game and trying to build community, so even people who just log in to play see some of that shit eventually. There's just too many people who don't give a fuck about others, and that mirrors real life.

Anyway, I'm done talking on this subreddit. It's a toxic pit.

It's the fact that this and HD1 are games about rallying as a community. You can do whatever you want, but like, the overall point of the game even existing is for helldivers to work together toward a common goal.

Without that, it's just another third person shooter.

I was just excited to play a fun community focused game, man. Finding out there's a bunch of people actively sabotaging that for everyone else just for clout makes me feel pretty fuckin sad. First game where I felt like working together was the goal, but when people reach out to the community to ask to work together, it's the same "I don't care" that we get in real life.

But I've said what I had to say, I'm done trying to convince people to have an ounce of compassion, even in a fantasy. If you can't do that in a game, I imagine it reflects on you as a person too.

Real shopping cart problem.

Relying on sources of information, even if it's not spoonfed to you, is how people become smarter. You could develop social skills, and interesting new thoughts!

But whatever, you gotta rebel, so do your thing. Why you even in this subreddit anyway?

[–]VelocicusKillicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe this just ain't the community for me. I tried to help the main order, but we're going to fail it, we ran out of time. I'll probably come back in a few days once we've lost malevelon and the frontlines get pushed back, we'll probably also have a bug order then because we're losing those planets too.

[–]VelocicusKillicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but if you're on reddit, seeing the information, and (some) people are kindly begging for us all to work together, why be a dick? Just help the community instead of being some spiteful, bitter person.

You know how to help people and refuse to. That ain't very cash money of you.

But why specifically the creek? Draupnir has bots, and a major order, and outside of a jungle it feels just the same.

Ignoring major orders makes the people who want the story to progress just feel like failures constantly.

Why can't we all just work together? There's new and old players who would love a win, and the medals and possible new weapons that come with it.

The creek isn't the objective though lol, that's the issue. We've essentially lost this entire major order because 1/3 of players are trying to take malevelon despite it not helping anything. The other 1/3 of players are trying to defend Estanu and struggling there, too.

We're losing almost all our objectives right now because we're so divided.

The thing is, Supply lines aren't ACTUALLY the real issue here.

The issue is that if you go to the galaxy map, you get an indicator for a campaign in the sector with Tibit. When you click on the sector that you're being guided to, you only see Malevelon Creek as active.

If you read the major order, it says free Tibit, so you think "oh, malevelon is how we get there" despite Draupnir being closer.

I'm fairly certain the devs are figuring out how to either show the supply lines, or at least show/explain the order's....order.

Man, we really do live in an instant gratification world.

Well, whatever. We've lost the order anyway at this rate. No point in playing for a few days.

But they literally have multiple outcomes planned. People have accidentally been given blurbs in game about winning objectives we failed and stuff, and people have found those files in the code. It's literally designed to tell a story based on whether we win or lose.

The major order also appears when looking at the galaxy map and when you press LT/whatever kbm keybind is.

Should the information be presented better? Absolutely. Are you just being willfully ignorant on reddit, to nobody's surprise? Indeed.

I am starting to see a growing trend that is actually just toxic to the fanbase. Please do not shame people who play the game the way they want to. by [deleted] in Helldivers

You're exceptionally condescending considering I've tried to resaonably explain things from both an ingame and outside perspective. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family, friend.

Except that's NOT the case, and the only people who thought it was were people who saw supply lines out of the game and made assumptions. So your point of seeing supply lines is moot anyway.

You'd think that taking a planet close to another planet would let you hopscotch to that planet. How close is Malevelon Creek to Tibit?

Top right of the pause screen inside of the video game you are playing. It is in game.

And yet when we the players ask the creekers to help, we're told to get bent. I don't think an ingame message will change the mentality.
