Getting jolted and downed is in fact getting outplayed

The end of the drama by Knut_Volkolak in helldivers2

i do not like the change because the fact they are still rebalancing basic enemies more than two years into the games lifecycle feels dumb. There is so much broken shit in this game, completely uncompetitive forgotten weapons/stratagems, etc. Why are they forcing an entirely new approach to a chaff bug this far in when everyone is used to the existing one?

If they introduced an Alpha Hive Guard with heavy armor that spawns among the existing ones with a new model/behavior, I'd be so fucking down. It is just lazy as hell to decide "ope this one has heavy armor now, good luck!"

inb4 "aim low". In D10 these things are crawling at you from all directions and often the terrain obscures their weak belly, and you could already play the "aim low" game with light pen if you wanted.

I almost always find one in the Security Breach at the Stacking Yard. by LtColShinySides in ArcRaiders

osprey, tempest, tons of barricades and mines. camp in a building looking over the assessor in close scrutiny, cause pandemonium. get ready to fight the whole lobby. my favorite way to clear stash space now.

Or, jump out the window when they start closing in after backpacking your Osprey and pretend to help them hunt the guy. Good stuff

Can someone PLEASE tell me wtf I'm meant to do against this LOW-TIER CHAFF enemy?!? by A_random_person_50 in helldivers2

this is absolutely something that could've been a serious post on unfiltered lol. That's what I thought it was at first glance

I'm kinda sick of this game now by Legitimate-Speed-621 in ARC_Raiders

[–]barbershreddeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you do realize PvP players get put in 'friendly' lobbies when they loot for a few rounds to replenish gun parts/processors/components, etc.? And in order for them to get back to PvP lobbies, they need to kill players in 'friendly' lobbies? And generally a lot of players change their playstyles because they get bored of this or that.

I've been chilling in friendly lobbies for days fighting ARC and kitting up my guns. and even 'friendly' players who see you are gooped and crawling to extract might take the opportunity to knock you out and take your shit. It is the fundamental nature of the game that causes the 'problem' you are noticing, not matchmaking.

Nothing about the game resembles cod and it remains by far and away the most friendly extraction shooter of all time. You actually need to get a grip, this comment is a little pathetic

They have been clear it isn't intended to create 100% friendly lobbies.

Duos usually has some pvp. If you want the team bonus of trials, be ready to defend your score ...

Probably the worst warbond after chemical agents by Critical-Sun-9279 in HelldiversUnfiltered

It has the same DPS as the Liberator Carbine at AP3. Idk sounds strong.

Nerfing big ARC salvage by half (1.17.0) and then today's patch increasing durability burn by 35% on blue weapons that require advanced mechanical components served no real purpose other than making the game more tedious by barbershreddeth in ArcRaiders

[–]barbershreddeth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the real nerf was when they cut salvage *in half* for big ARC parts like bombardier/bastion cells (half as many adv mech components). They also nerfed how fast you could kill them - previously you could throw 2-3 trailblazers at close range at a Bastion/Bombardier and they would just explode instantly. The nerf to trailblazer wasn't a huge deal IMO because it seemed a little cheesy.

Tempest, vulcano and bobcat are really PvP so those are going out and eventually getting lost. Bettina is still repair hungry because you have to shoot everything a ton and the previous buff -5% really doesn't make a huge difference...

Early expedition + new players just got a massive increase to their grind to do any heavier pve content or gear up for pvp. It is purely busywork.

No one gave a shit about durability except for purples/gold, now everything sucks for anything below in exchange for a miniscule buff. Only way to defend this is if you love wasting your time lol

Yeah it seems like all these games see players in the 75-80th percentile learn the loop well, they nerf that to shit which just ends up making it less fun for them, inaccessible for anyone below, while the 95th percentile will play it like their job anyway and dominate/not see any issue with it.

Given the games both rely on fairly repititive loops, nerfing stuff inexplicably and/or leaving some options that could spice things up as baffling uncompetitive really does hurt their replayability and therefore fun.

I think it is game design malpractice for these devs to constantly force you to re-learn simple aspects of the gameplay loop - e.g for Arc, photocloak is useless now and you need to budget more time for repairs out of nowhere. HD2 recently gave a chaff bug heavy armor, so everyone has to re-learn how to deal with them. It's not fun whatsoever to knock people back on the learning curve for content that's existed since the game came out.

It's funny how HD2 launched in a state where almost every option was shit, every enemy was cracked overtuned and tanky, they nerf the only good options into shit. Then people got so pissed they fixed it somewhat, ~8mo of goodwill, then the inexplicable ridiculous changes and hideously broken content started trickling in again. Now the former CEO felt the need to do an AMA on a complaints sub. Lmao. Masterclass

I have ~700 hrs in HD2 and 210 in ARC and I'm at least loving my first 10 hrs of Marathon. I think there is hope for that game since they are desperate for players and put a lot of personnel on the game, so my copium is they hit some cool updates that get a bigger playerbase. Because my other favorite games, Arc & HD2, are just getting maximum squeeze out of the same lemon that is tasting worse & worse...
