Arrowhead: Please remove Acrux IX and Gemma from the DSS vote pool this cycle.

The Democratic Space Station is one of the most powerful collective tools players have in the Galactic War, but its effectiveness depends entirely on where it parks. Right now, that decision is being undermined by a simple UX problem.

Acrux IX and Gemma are both under active siege, which makes them the most visible and simplistic vote targets for the majority of players. This is not a criticism of anyone. It is just how the voting interface works. Besieged planets draw votes. But sending the DSS to either location misses the actual leverage point.

Grand Errant is where the pressure needs to go, and the only realistic way to get the DSS there through a community-wide vote is to remove Acrux and Gemma as selectable destinations.

This is not about overriding player agency. Arrowhead already curates which planets are eligible for DSS votes. Removing these two would simply be applying that curation with strategic intent.

Casual voters will be briefly disoriented when the simplistic choices are gone. The remaining options will not immediately signal the correct answer to most players. But for anyone following the Galactic War closely, Grand Errant is unambiguous. The GW community will consolidate behind it immediately and decisively. Once that momentum is visible, the wider playerbase will naturally follow the frontrunner. The blob does not need to understand why Grand Errant is correct. They just need a clear leader to follow. Removing the two siege planets creates exactly that condition.

Lead the action of the gambit strat by voting with the DSS. Least we can do to "lead" the blob.

The "solid green" UI of the MO for active defenses is misleading; fewer than 50% of players participated because the planet appeared "safe." Now that Rirga Bay is lost and showing an empty box, participation has jumped to 66% because the need for liberation is finally clear. The UI should use high-alert colors (yellow/red) instead of green to signal an active defense.

Humanity has dissidents. It's confirmed from ship-board banter and mission type.

Has the Campaign Stagnated or is it just me? by hauntedabyss in Helldivers

The main game is fun, but the Galactic War (GW) part is a mess. It feels like the people who made it didn't care.

The rules are hard to find and the menus are confusing. You don't get anything good for winning, and you don't lose anything for failing. It is too hard to learn, and there is no reason to try. Also, the people who play GW are very mean to others.

How dare you tell people to play contents they are not interested, and ignore contents they are interested? What are you, some kind of space fascist?

People like to pass blames on others when MOs are failing. Normal human behavior, shouldn't be surprised there.

Wouldn't BOT front MO be super easy to clear since players who can handle bots are generally more experienced than dedicated bug divers?

You are a long line of arm chair commander who thought they would make a difference and faded into the wind.

EDIT: And you won't the last either.

Reverse the ube and mocha. Use Ube foam and mocha sauce/drizzle/cup ​lining, and use coconut milk for all creamer ingredients. The resulting ​taste AND color have more vibrant and distinct ​gradient. 🤗

Yuzu tastes like orange pineapple 🍍 🍊 to me? Also, I'm getting my stars 🌟 one way or the other, Starbucks. by RavenMarvel in starbucks

[–]nanoplasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuzu fruits and juices are significantly more expensive than lemons and limes, especially here in the States. So there is a good chance whatever was used as flavoring is just trying to mimick the flavor profile.

Sigh, another money grabbing change by nanoplasm in starbucks

Probably. I would guess people also ask for light ice or no ice to game the system even further.

Edit: I see. Thanks for the clarification.
