So there's trouble with the servers or something? In game I see that there's zero helldovers online. At least the defence mission is doable solo now at trivial difficulty..

is the autocannon bad? i figured it'd be able to shoot off the front legs of a charger but it just bounces, and those are what seem to be the biggest hurdle for mid level groups

I'm amusedly surprised they set their expectations so low. the opposite is commonplace, but you rarely see "we didn't know our poo poo was this good"

If you're playing solo you can always just run autocannon + EAT and between those and your primary you have enough firepower to take almost anything down as long as you don't get overwhelmed

Their previous games have always been decently successful, but only within their particular niche. Adding third-person shooting to the Helldivers formula put them in an entirely different arena, though, one far bigger than they could have anticipated, so even decently successful would have been a shock, let alone the runaway popularity they’re seeing now.

The player count, enemies killed, shots fired, divers lost etc, is a pretty nice feature though. It creates a nice athmosphere of being part of something bigger. Which is Democracy!

Me and a few friends where looking forward to this game because we played the original Helldivers quite a bit but I agree I don't think anyone could have really predicted it would blow up this much. The move from top down to 3rd person really changes the feel of the game and I think it draws in a much larger pool from the shooter crowd. Also the peak number of players tripled from launch weekend to this weekend which really speaks to this game catching fire via streamers and word of mouth.

It's a little finicky with the dispersed firing pattern arty where you think you're far away until you suddenly explode, but it was implemented well overall. Throw an indicator in and an off map unit blows the poo poo out of, the children yearn for Mercenaries 3.

Just got the fun dropship bug where no one could board. I threw literally 100 overchaged railgun shots at it, and it apparently starts smoking and catching fire, but that bitch just does not die We just TKed each other to finish the mission lol

Is it me or is the "killed by" indicator wrong about 80% of the time? I catch a rocket to the face from a robot and it says a teammate killed me. I run into a mine and I killed myself (which, technically is true, I guess), my own sentry kills me and it says I died by Impact.

Robot chainsaws you? A teammate did it. A teammate walks into my mortar strike? 0 damage listed at the end of the game. We were goofing around and a buddy just blasted me with a shotgun right before evac came in and the game didn't note it at all lmao Kill counts also don't seem to count strategems, but it does count their accuracy or something. We did a mission to kill 135 automatons, succeeded and left. It thought we killed like 50 and I had 20% accuracy (I did not miss 80% of my shots with the marksman rifle lol)

I managed to get the "Have a stratagem kill 25 enemies" without doing anything, and it MUST have been the SAM site that I activated.

Chain-running the "kill x robots and extract" missions on the highest difficulty you can handle (we're on suicide with a 2 man group now) results in an absurdly fast leveling speed. It's ~850 exp and ~3k requisitions per run on suicide. Literally takes longer for the deployment, extraction, and postgame stats than the mission itself.
