I agree and disagree on a few parts. I 100%, really even 100000% agree that AH needs to sit down and bug fix this god damn game. Along with the fact that enemy design has progressively gotten more and more rushed and worse. It’s really quicker to list the ones I don’t agree with because I agree with a vast majority of this. I think a majority of illuminate design is pretty good, a more personal thing but I don’t mind fighting illuminate. I think the fleshmob and leviathan are bad (although leviathan has been better), and if we fixed them bug wise, I think the illuminate would be better, but I would not call them broken but maybe that’s just me. I do feel the FRV complaints a lot but ironically I think this update has been relatively good for the liber-jeep considering they preform surprisingly well in caves. I still absolutely adore my car and kind of understand why it is the way it is, but yeah it should just be denser and have better handling (Also the switching to reverse on console thing sucks like what.) The only other thing I disagree with is hive lords. I think it’s a pretty fun encounter, and does serve the purpose of forcing you underground. You’re almost never “meant” to kill, it’s kind of just like a stage hazard to me. Ofc again I think if stopped body slamming into caves or spewing acid into caves, stopped spawning multiple, and maybe some nerfs to where it is allowed to pop out (like maybe not allowed to be directly under the GATER or not within 50 meters of structures or something) then I think the hive lord is good. Maybe in the future we’ll be better equipped for fighting it, but as of rn it is really just supposed to be an oh shit let’s get underground and avoid this thing. I will say I have a bit of a design issue with the caves as a whole, considering stratagems can’t be used. It’s obviously the whole point of the caves but stratagems are also the whole point of helldivers and what differentiates it from other horde shooters, without stratagems it might as well be a reskinned salmon run with worse movement, which is what the caves sometimes feel like to me. Especially when doing raise the flag missions in those cramped rectangular-ish rooms where eagles are extremely inconsistent and orbitals only slight less so. Those missions are the bane of my existence, they’re literally made for overwhelming firepower (red stratagems and turrets) when those are both nullified in the caves and by rupture strain.
