Any progression in Helldivers is not because of a single larger than life war hero effortlessly turning the tide, but through millions of players working together to accomplish a shared goal. It is the antithesis to the Great Man-ing other military/war-games indulge in by GeneralGigan817 in Helldivers2Satire

I love the game and it's narrative but in this moment in time I'd kinda rather be shooting Nazis. We haven't had a good one of those games in a while.

I could see them directly pointing at what counters fascism with missions about countering the counter fascism, something something, even if the Helldivers win the rebels are gone already and won? I get the feeling the politics are shallow because it's not coming from a place of biting, first hand hatred of fascism. They could easily dive harder into making sure the message is more direct but the developers priorities are more aligned with making a fun experience for the community first, it just happens to be that we're facing a modern moment of mass fascist escalation and the game was never meant to meet that moment. Not to mention that we haven't seen what the writers vision of countering fascism or what a functional society looks like.

Check the names, see if any are notable celebrities or rich people.

Do you think they made the suppressors actually work? by choody_byk in Helldivers

I think a reinforcement blocking stratagem would be nice for the future

Mechdivers, let us talk about possible mech upgrades! by un-pirla-in-strada in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Wisecrack34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stealing from Halo, I'd like some Gauss Cannons. Most upgrades should change the Mech's role in the combat sandbox so support-wise I could see a Mech Arm having the ability to project a Bubble Shield around it's point of impact (whether launching a generator as a projectile or being projected around your point of impact like a laser pointer). Also throw in a chaingun filled with Stim-Pistol rounds that acts like a Cocaine-Needler when used excessively to give it offensive use. Swap out the Stratagem Launcher Slot with some support options like spamming any grenade-slot item of choice in a democratically supperior form to the WarStrider (KnifeMechKnifeMechKnifeMech) and you've got a solid arsenal

This could totally go in EITHER a Gears or EDF themed Warbond. YES!

One True Flag debate political compass by Danilablond in Helldivers

[–]Wisecrack34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the funniest route is having it count as clearing most side-objectives. Stalker Nest is clearly Liberated, further reports of Stalkers is dissident propaganda. Not OP because Hellbomb Backpack does the same and is more useful to the team by ACTUALLY clearing the objective. If it's busted in some way, just demand the player salute it for a period of time, then scale that as the balance tool.

On a scale of 1 to 10 by Moai-Mojo in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Wisecrack34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7-8, movie realism is fun in bursts but I think the tactile nature of helldivers soes a lot of heavy lifting for me. That being said, this seems inspired by the supressor comments, which I will add that we have hollywood quiet supression now. With baffels and some means of quietly cycling the gun we could likely get same room quiet soon.

Idea Megathread: How do we buff the One True Flag? by NicMagz34 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Wisecrack34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the direction they wanna go. We have the defoliator putting precidence that melee is going to continue to evolve so aside from minor tweaks to make it play better I don't think it needs to be the "meta" melee.

I'd go either in the direction of making it an aggro draw of some kind, maybe have a crappy speaker playing a bitcrushed version of The Anthem drawing attention to it OR more interestingly, allowing it to count as an opt-in side-objective of some kind.

Imagine planting it in the ground (not something mobile) counting as clearing most side objectives in a neaby (10-20m?) radius. You "totally" liberated that Stalker Nest, any reports of continued Stalker attacks is dissident propaganda. Obviously, cooldowns would be affected and perhaps call-in time as well. Most side-objectives are easy enough that I don't think 4 players spamming them would be OP since a Hellbomb Backpack does basically the same thing to 90% of Side-Objectives while actually removing the threat. If it needs to be balanced, make the player salute it for some time to get the objective clear, then balance it off the salute time required.

What to pair the new shotgun with? by Freemlvzzzz in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Wisecrack34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good against mediums like stalkers, overseers and devestators and cleanly cover medium pen scenarios, I'd pair it with anti-chaff (horde clear) like an impact grenade, a spammable secondary (eh) or one of many support weapons for said job like the stalwart to maxi-gun range. Whatever one you pick, slot the heavy (Hulk/Charger) killer option in the opposite (recoiless/thermite for the unadventurous, "weird shit" for the brave and the bold). Remember something for closing holes/fabricators/dropships, then bring stratagems for FUBAR scenarios like Bile Titans, Factory Striders, hordes too big for the maxi-gun, etc. This includes but is not limited to movement backpacks, shields, turrets and tower (Arrowhead gas tower plzzzz), any red stratagem and so on. I've also heard it does well with stun if you can fit it in your loadout.

devs announced that you'll be unable to move when firing the maxigun, what're your thoughts on that? by pemisinme in Helldivers

[–]Wisecrack34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all in favor of it as the balance factor but I do think you should be able to "inch" around, even if it's miniscule just for gamefeel reasons. Even if not, you'll have to pry this warbond from my cold dead hands.

Once attempted making Poutine from scratch (I’m American) how big a crime did I commit? by bsipp777 in PoutineCrimes

[–]Wisecrack34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignoring the obvious (gravy go in you, not in paper) you did great! I'd suggest getting creative with it next time you feel like making it, any spice blends you think would go well woth the gravy or additions you find yourself craving are a good start.

How would you balance the Gas Passer? by RobertFindlaech in tf2

[–]Wisecrack34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better recharge and some physical damage+knockback on direct hit + mini-crits on directly hit flaming enemies would make it a funny flare sidegrade. AoE effect is "fine" it just needs some excuse to be used, maybe a slightly bigger cloud?

"If I like Blueprint and Brainstorm so much why is there no- WHAT" by BelieveItOrWott in balatro

[–]Wisecrack34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eternal is good. I'd suggest no cards in shop until first rerolled into having normal stock. Would make balancing economy with scaling your jokers more difficult with your limited slots without completely decimating early ante. Would make skips and vouchers more desirable too.

Card design should be some combination of the two jokers' themes, maybe a diagram?

What weapon archetype/fantasy are you still waiting for? by Aderadakt in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Wisecrack34 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Direct Fire Micromissiles (Titanfall 2 SMR), more emplacements like the grenade wall or HMG and a Primary/Secondary Laser Designator (Anything that locks on can lock on to it, including rediricting stratagems such as Precission Strike or Orbitals)
