I killed my first bile titan by myself in a party of 4 I ran in solo, ran away so far I went out the map and got declared a traitor and then the shots that killed me killed the titan. The only rewards I think I lost were from my last match the night before "the big patch"

So whenever you pick up collectables like samples, medals or reqs, you get a little chat notification, but I've never seen it when grabbing super credits, it almost like they are not being registered.

RBA Starblade posted:How is Darktide after all the bug fixing and balancing now? I dropped it a month or two in At this point darktide is solid and a pretty safe rec as long as it doesn’t hate your PC, I’d say it originally launched good with five asterisks but at this point it’s good with one asterisk Also if you’re waiting for helldivers 2 issues to be fixed like I am, I revisited the first game the other week and it still really holds up. great game if you have a full group of friends for it.

the problem with chargers is that yeah while there is a way to deal with them they're not a boss enemy, they're just an elite they come in commonly, then suddenly make everything about them. they also can hit you multiple times and one hit kill you which is incredibly tedious and depends entirely on how you ragdoll ten stalkers instead, please, god bless.

I've honestly had more problems in the missions with green bugs than I have with charger spam. Chargers you can kite forever. Getting randomly hit by green blobs and slowed can get you murdered extremely quickly. RBA Starblade posted:Light armor for bugs, normal or heavy for robots imo I do need to play around with different armor for sure - faster sounds very useful, since I've been running medium the whole time (because it is gold encrusted)

Yeah, heavy armor seems like it'd be a lot more useful against automatons. Against those you're liable to take a lot more chip-damage rather than the all-or-nothing hits more common from bugs. But of course the most important armor stat against any enemy is looking cool.

Gamerofthegame posted:the problem with chargers is that yeah while there is a way to deal with them they're not a boss enemy, they're just an elite Chargers become sooooo much easier when you play chicken with them. They don't handle sharp turns well so if you run directly to their left/right and then pivot to shoot them in the rear end they drop fairly quick.

Automatons are such a jump in difficulty compared to bugs. Thinking you’re king poo poo cause you can handle bugs at higher difficulty and then dropping into a bit planet on the same difficulty goes from Starship Troopers to space Vietnam real quick https://streamable.com/x3z45x Also dumb question but how do you heal someone else with a STIM on PC? I get the box over someone when they’re half health but can’t figure out what to press

Regarding the XP/Reward loss problem: Some people on Reddit are saying playing a mission in a different game mode (single vs multiplayer) will make the previous rewards pop. I haven't had a chance to test it so I can't confirm

explosivo posted:Did they fix the game yet or are people still losing rewards? My experience with it last night is that it wasn't lost, just delayed. You wouldn't see it until you ran another drop. It seems like a love it or hate it weapon - but I am really on the love it side of the arc cannon. It's damage isn't especially great and it's kind of unpredictable, but the infinite ammo and full armor piercing and high stun value are huge against a number of highly annoying enemies that start showing up in the higher difficulties, like the heavy rocket robots, hive commanders, and the like. It can even wear down the chargers and dreadnoughts over a long enough time and blow off chunks off their armor and make it easier for the other players to take it out.

I am liking the Explosive Liberator a lot; sure it doesn't *blow up* when you shoot things with it but the slower ROF and high damage to weak points makes it pretty great for mid range engagements.

Agreed that chargers are too common for how much of your attention they require. A breach or hive spawning 3-4 of them in rapid succession is incredibly frustrating

Great nailbiter challenge 4 mission with Seedge last night, extract with no respawns, less than 2 mins and chargers all over the extract pad.  And on Sat night I dropped into a challenge 4 and was eventually abandoned by all 3 pubbies. It was my first Bile Titan. I opted to use the RR against it at as far of a distance as I could, got down to my last respawn, killed it, dodged 3 huge waves, and got the extract by the skin of my teeth. Game incredibly owns.

Game is good, but this has been a terrible launch. I've lost several hours of progress at this point due to crashes, or the game simply not tracking progress correctly.

At least it applied to everyone for a while.

Internet Explorer posted:Okay the game is a ton of fun but no way, going to have to disagree with this and it's not even close. Don’t get me wrong, Darktide is absolutely the best game I’ve played in giving the player the full 40k “experience” in every way. I feel like Helldivers does the “puny human in the face of unintelligible alien powers” vibe even better, though, and even though their story beats are far fewer than Darktide I feel like the rest of the game fits much more cohesively with the play than DT’s does

Yeah you joust them kinda similar to bears in Icarus - when they’re close enough, run at them but maybe like 20-30 degrees to a side and they go right past Au Revoir Shosanna posted:canonically what happens when your helldiver dies? are they defrosting clones in the ship or is it just the next recruit in line? You can set your character voice to random - as in each Helldiver dropped will have a randomly assigned voice - so it’s absolutely the next recruit in line. Makes sense with the videos and destroyer animations too - at the end of training everyone gets on the helldiver tube, and the tube launches into space to connect to the helldiver ship & shoot bullets full of helldiver at the planet idiotsavant fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Feb 12, 2024 |

Maybe I'm biased, I think Darktide just absolutely nails the atmosphere. It's been great seeing the 'tide goons from my friends list on here and the games preference to put me in their games is pretty cool. It is interesting to see the reaction to this game versus Darktide. I think Darktide was a bit more thoroughly broken and the itemization/progression was definitely worse, but the rage over "how dare you have a cash shop while the game released in a broken state" is like night and day from here. Loving this game, though. Machine gun + supply pack is amazing, keeping yourself and people topped up on supplies is super helpful. Latest updates from their Discord: quote:We have an announcement for @everyone regarding server status and upcoming maintenance from the Arrowhead team: quote:Attention, @everyone: The server maintenance has concluded.
