So I'm fine with the whole sony thing, but the playerbase disappearing is actually a problem for me

most people will remain. there's a very low chance this will actually impact the total population. hd2 is gonna be fine for everyone that can still play it.

Something you and many others could maybe learn from this ordeal is to shut up when you're uninformed

Maybe too long for a thread title, but an incredible PSA none the less.

I joined a pub game and my initial drop pod landed on a divers’ mech as they were getting in it. I was kicked immediately :lol:

I've not really encountered any toxic people playing on PC with cross play on. I'll occasionally get some childbrain that takes accidental death personally and gripes about in chat for a bit. I experience way more players dipping out of missions early in the face of any sort of adversity (7-9).

As far as the drop in players from recent carnage, well, I expect that to regenerate rapidly as new content is added and spiking heavily when the third faction is launched.

yeah I can see illuminates bringing back more people than were playing even before this sony nonsense, people who were stopping before (or after) getting burnt out waiting for the next big update

You guys say you don't want shields, until you get the 'all bile spewers, all the time' planet seed :laugh:

It's going to be the same thing, shield walls, orbs of death, orbs of confusion, cloaked scout snipers ohko'ing you when you stop moving

the jetpack should work like how lasers should work: let me use it while it's hot, giving it a boost to damage (lasers) or height (jetpack), at the risk of it blowing up in my face/on my rear end if I push it too far lol

but yeah hard agree

Nothing feels better than extracting with 1 diver still alive clutching onto super samples with no reinforcements left, after some mook leaves 10 minutes into the mission so you had to 3-man it

I've only run into a few toxic people, like getting TK'd before I can get on the shuttle. The thing I run into way more is people with very high levels being criminally bad at the game. Traitorously bad even.

Had a match just recently where I died to this guys eagle clusters 5 times, including once where he carpet bombed as the pelican landed and I was holding all the super samples. We were struggling to finish the match with the reinforcement timer permanently counting. He finished with 8 or 9 team kills as well as about 8 personal deaths.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Fallen Rib
Man I wish my nvidia replay was working just had a mission on hellmire where:

1. My eruptor shrapnel from ~70 meters away hit the puff balls right next to me, launching me into the air.
2. I touched a fallen bile titan leg and my helldiver was diverted into the air, sideways, at approximately 100 mph and flung off the map into the traitor zone. I managed to survive back into the zone with the traitor bombardment and took out a nest so worth but lol
