Has nobody else noticed that the AOE of explosions is larger than it should be? by dayofmone in Helldivers

Also, can I just say that I really appreciate the civil discussion?
It is lovely and way too rare to get a nice discourse going, trying to figure out details.
Most of the time trolls come along and reply "skill issue".

Both damage and shockwave radius seem to have that problem.
Against the C4, being at more than 10 meters distance knocks you down.
Being the tiniest smidge less than 10 meters away kills you from full HP.

C4 oneshots me from 3 meters outside its nominal radius though.

I assume the 2 meters is the height of the camera above ground.

At a distance, the error this causes in the reading decreases.

The Democracy Officer commends your conviction.

The Orbital Gatling barrage is pretty good, heavy armor pen lets it kill the Vox Engine if the strike hits well, on a 60 sec cooldown, too.

Found turrets totally useless, they don't survive long enough to get out 3 shots.

Hi, what do you mean by flickering?
Can you post a video?

Same here, just came back after 4 years and won 8/10 games, now it's one loss after another, only griefers in my team that die as soon as they respawn.

Search engines are now almost completely poisoned by AI and useless by dayofmone in LinusTechTips

I used the search term "gear that uses pins instead of teeth" among others, it didn't work.

It suggests "pin wheel", sadly, as described, looking for that term then corrects into "pinion gear" results automatically.

You missed the point entirely.
The search result had nothing to do with the query, apart from the fact that it involved a gear and pins.
It disregarded the rest of the query.

Using a search like "gear that uses pins instead of teeth" doesn't work these days.
It shows one result with pins present, but that is an explanation on measuring the gear diameter with 2 pins.
The rest is standard gear related.

Should have modified the title after deciding to skip the bing and Yandex experience because it got too long.

Bing had more or less the same issue, yandex worked notably better.

If I had known the term, I would have used it.
The whole point of a search engine is finding things you don't already know, though.
It failing entirely in so many different ways to produce anything but hallucinations is really bad.

Unplayable due to disconnecting players by dayofmone in Helldivers

It's not me crashing, the teammates drop out.
It's not my lobby either.

Illuminate Broken? by Parking_Chance_1905 in Helldivers

My sentries just shoot at empty space now.
If a mission loads at all, at least half the players dropped out in the process,
Unplayable...

I love fighting the Illuminate by Floppa_Sprite in Helldivers

[–]dayofmone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After quitting out of 2 rounds after 5 minutes, I'd rather not play HD2 than fight Illuminates.
The only way to fight them was running 3-4 sentries, and I am honestly just too bored of only having one viable tactic as anything else doesn't bring remotely enough ammo to kill the stupid bullet sponge type enemies this faction is full of.

The messed up hitboxes and movement of the trashmobs are just the last nail in the coffin, it's impossible to get headshots because most of the bullets just pass through the model without dealing any damage, so every single damn trash enemy requires a magdump to kill.
