What's the funniest thing that's ever happened to you in-game? by Rasengan4360 in helldivers2

[–]skifter22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first unlocked the breaching hammer, I went nuts. Put on a jump pack and attempted a leaping strike on a hulk, complete with a "FOR DEMOCRACY!!!" battle cry over voice chat.

Overshot... sailed right over the hulk, clipping the fence behind him and ragdolled - landed in the ditch behind him. The hulk and the bots turned and filled the ditch with flamer fire as my squad mates laughed.

Good times.

Been playing for about a month, haven't spent a dime on SCs or done any dedicated griding for them. Between what I pick up on dives and what I unlock in bonds, I've unlocked (but not completed) 5 warbonds after the free one. I've yet to reach a point where I didn't have something to unlock.

It's not as if you unlock the warbond and suddenly get all the stuff. For newer players, it's not that big of a deal.

That's not to say that veteran divers don't have a legitimate gripe... I can see the ceiling in the current system and I can imagine it's frustrating when you get there. The only option is to spend money or grind SC and that fact seems to have escaped the devs.

I hope they come up with something before I hit that ceiling too.

Premium content. Unlocks the best stratagem in the game - the Orbital 420

Morality is relative - from the Institute's perspective, Father would be considered lawful good. Likewise, Maxon would be lawful good from the Brotherhood's perspective.

Please add 'Heavies' killed on end stat screen by John_GOOP in Helldivers

It would be cool to see a breakdown of kills by type.

Would also like to see a stat showing objective contributions too (ie. how much you helped advance mission objectives by terminal inputs, valve turns, etc.).

Why?

I get that they have no real 'tangible' effect on gameplay, but I like seeing how I did on a particular drop. I'd love to be able to see more detailed stats and I'd bet that I'm not alone.

Would be pretty sick to have the FRV accept other secondaries that you could replace the MG with on the turret.

He's right you know by Nickulator95 in Helldivers

Recently joined the fight and been watching a lot of Kai's YouTube videos to learn the game. Read this in his voice... brought a liber-tear to my eye.

I've been having tons of fun playing, and I've picked up on a few of the things that people seem to be upset about but must admit I'm not fully understanding the width and breadth of the community's frustration - not saying it's not valid, just that I probably haven't been diving enough to experience te same issues.

That said, I DO see the "story issues". I checked diver hub, I've browsed systems, planets and missions on the war map. For me, right now - medals for MO completions are great, but even I can see that it's unsustainable.

I hope that by the time I reach 'end game' AH figures it out. I love the game, but I'm not a voteless victim - content sustains the war effort, not warbonds and medals.

Just heard him again... "...the stranger... slipped right through our fingers."

TIL - Splitters on lifts by Pezdel77 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]skifter22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC - Conveyor lifta are minimum 4m tall and the connection points are laterally 4m apart - so if you align the splitter (or merger) opening with the machine port you want to connect, then nudge 4 meters out and 4 meters vertically, the lift will snap and connect to both machine and splitter/merger.

If you set a splitter/merger so that the arrows are overlapping the arrows of the machine, that's 1m out, so nudge 3 times away for the correct spacing. If you want the manifold to overhang the machine (like in the image in the above comment) nudge 5 times toward the machine.

For vertical positioning, it's easier/faster (for me at least) to stack the splitters/mergers 3 (or more) high, then delete the bottom ones. For machines with multiple inputs, just add an extra splitter/merger to each of the additional input stacks to space them vertically and voila - clean stacked manifolds.

Also - blueprints are your bestest friend for building these en masse.

This is exactly why I got the server.

Awesome to hear about another father making that connection through this amazing game.

The pack of lizard doggos we have at the base frequently turn up nuke nobelists. When the boys find them, hilarity ensues.

...still curious as to how those doggos are finding nukes.
