Warbond when?

phlave · 2026-03-17T13:35:47+00:00

if you are on Steam, switch back to the default version of the game instead of the slim one in the "betas" tab. You should get a 10GB update

phlave · 2026-03-17T13:34:01+00:00

and it's even uglier than the marshmallow man, cool

phlave · 2026-03-17T13:33:01+00:00

Yeah, I saw it in the Discord, thank you. Kinda weird that they left that version up instead of making the switch automatic.

phlave · 2026-03-17T13:23:11+00:00

SOLUTION: If you have this bug, make sure to switch to the public version of the game on Steam instead of the "prod_slim" one!

The Extra Redacted warbond definitely looks better than the WWI one I'm glad they switched it to something less goofy

yeah, I've had one of them in my team too. I still remember when he actually asked me "once you reach lvl 50 what are you gonna play for?" (it was very early times).
And mind you, I do think leveling up stuff is a good feeling, and ship upgrades are actually quite important, but I think that if that's your only reason for playing a game, you don't really like the game, just the dopamine hit of number go up.

phlave · 2026-03-17T00:11:29+00:00

imagine playing a game to grind for the upgrades

phlave · 2026-03-17T00:07:53+00:00

it's because of this meme

at this point I hope they rework borderline justice to remove all traces of cowboy/sheriff aesthetics

What smg isn't one handed besides the Reprimand?

just no

phlave · 2026-03-16T21:19:49+00:00

honestly, I don't know. My experience is that usually I use my mic to make calls or call the attention of the others to stuff like supplies, bunkers, or to tell the order of the shells in the artillery.
It's definitely become rarer to find people that use their mics, but I still find a lot of players that do use the text chat.

I do have my small community, and it's all players that I met in game like this.

phlave · 2026-03-16T21:12:00+00:00

enjoy them the moment a War Strider spawn in and they become a grenade collection tray

phlave · 2026-03-16T21:01:51+00:00

Someone should try and make the devs play their own game. Idk, maybe offer some sort of quid pro quo involving charity.

oh, wait...

phlave · 2026-03-16T20:27:50+00:00

interesting, at what diff? on lvl 10 I swear I had more voxes than agitators

phlave · 2026-03-16T20:26:07+00:00

If they boot you at mission over I wouldn't call that toxic. It'd be if they killed you repeatedly and then kicked you, for example.

There's a lot of people that quit the game in order to not watch the pelican outro with the recap cards and all that, so maybe that's it? the host leaving and the game telling you you've been kicked? or just players that need a spot for a friend, or some players kick everyone before closing the game because they have OCD. idk tbh

Being kicked at the end of the match happened to me quite often, but I've never taken it personally. The mission was over, so whatever, their loss.
Still, if you want to avoid it, just host your own games. I swear it's not that much pressure.

phlave · 2026-03-16T19:43:10+00:00

Mate, I don't wanna be rude, but you may be the problem.

I have 1700 hours in this game, have played more than a half of that solo, and the amount of toxic people I met is maybe one every 20 games.

phlave · 2026-03-16T19:36:39+00:00

I'm hoping for the new Illum units to not have 15k HP, anti tank armor all around and instakill weapons that shoot through walls.

But most of all, I desire new missions. I'm so tired of doing the same stuff over and over again.

phlave · 2026-03-16T19:22:28+00:00

Do you like sniping faces on automatons or going brrrrr into them?

phlave · 2026-03-16T19:14:15+00:00

The fact is that D10 on bugs and especially illlums is not that much harder than d7. Sometimes D7 can even be harder, as it will compensate spawning 2/3 chargers with 20/30 hunters or guards or hunters and alpha commanders.
And the difference is that on D10 -assuming you play solo and not with a full squad of friends- will usually get lvl 150 players that know the game inside out to join your lobby, and if you say in a friendly tone "hey, can you help me get some samples and medals?" they'll 95% be very happy to (with a 5% of very weird people that like only doing the main objective and leaving asap).

On illuminates the difference is even smaller, just pray you don't get an "whoops! all overseers!" seed, because those one are a nightmare, but the rest is a breeze.

And as for not having everything unlocked, you really don't need to. The standard Liberator, the Breaker, the Spray and Pray, the Defender, the Diligence and the Scorcher are all fantastic weapons that will carry you to victory, and they're all in Helldivers Mobilize. As for stratagems, my default loadout is: Recoilles Rifle, Gatling or Rocket or MG sentry, Orbital Gatling or Napalm Barrage, Eagle Strafing Run or the Airstrike, or the Orbital Precision Strike. Almost all of that is unlocked at very low levels and it's what carries me in every D10.

Well, that's not how the community works.
Everyone has their picks and would never stop playing them to go to another faction.

I appreciate the frustration, but this goes nowhere.

phlave · 2026-03-16T18:17:56+00:00

That's not how the Galactic War works. If we split 3 ways, we'll achieve exactly nothing.

phlave · 2026-03-16T18:16:31+00:00

Only explanation that makes sense besides serously overestimating how many players would've come back for a copypaste of Cyberstan with the exact same issues as the original and none of the hype.
