Just a heads up: the orbital laser has 3 uses per mission total. That's why it's so much better than anything else. Also I had another weird bug today. The host left and I became squad leader so I tried to call in an sos beacon. But after I called it, my primary weapon disappeared. I couldn't even use one after picking up a new one from the ground. I don't know if dying would've fixed it because I didn't trust the pubs to pick up my super uranium.

Just bought the game yesterday and enjoying it so far. Once I was actually able to get past the server capcity error, I had trouble joining any games. Not sure if this has been posted already, but I had luck performing the steps in this reddit thread to get randoms to join my ship - https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1ami79d/helldivers_2_matchmaking_workaround_easy/ You need to load in to a game and throw your SOS beacon. Once it is down quit out of the game. Go in your ship and initiate the same mission. Wait in your ship and it will fill up with players. This worked twice this afternoon before I got stuck in a loading screen. Try it out if you are having matchmaking issues.

Had an issue earlier where 2 of us disconnected, rejoined, and when we went to evac, tehre were no button presses. We could interact, but no ups downs etc, and we ended up dying and failing the mission.

I've seen teams take an orbital laser across three players and just busy them all out when the poo poo has really hit the fan. They delete everything off the field and converge on whatever it is that's too tough to kill quickly, then delete it as well. I'm going to start suggesting we try this on suicide+ missions because you can manage most things with eagles and portable weapons, but once you hit the inevitable bug tidal wave I think massed orbital lasers will make the missions much easier.

You even get docked exactly 25 credits for getting them killed the scientists aren't disposable cannon fodder, they're merely disposable. aint no one getting docked 25 credits for TKing players

The industrial might of Super Earth must be truly staggering if every disposable dropship cannon fodder gets his own FTL destroyer with multiple support personnel. Just another example of the clear cultural superiority of managed democracy!

Finally got in just to find that theres no quick play or matchmaking still so unless you got friends doing missions, you're stuck playing the worst way to play the game; solo.

Is there a goon Steam group to join? I need more people on my friends list playing this game, seems to be the only multiplayer that's been working properly. I tried the two Discords linked in the OP but one of em is a dead link and the other one seems like a general ARPG Discord? Plus I'm an old man and I don't know how to Discord things.

JBP posted:I'm not a computer genius - would it be that hard to implement a 15 minute afk kick? 15 mins seems generous enough to take a poo poo or make a coffee and come back while short enough to keep the number low and keep the logins moving. I mean, the seamless joining of another person's instanced lobby is something both games have done really well and is a part of the series DNA now, that they make it so easy to just drop into your friend's lobby with no permission is one of the reasons HD1 had so much staying power among enthusiasts. I imagine interrupting that would not be something the devs are all that interested in, but yeah atm it's making things harder. explosivo posted:Yeah there are people on the discord saying they let the game on overnight to stay in so they were able to play today. Which is, crazy. literal PS2 era poo poo and it owns, like everything else about the game lol

Even when I've read the note the POI marker stays on the map, and it makes me wonder if there's something I'm missing in the area/just not shooting enough. I'd like to know this, too

Got to play a bunch because I just left it open for two days once I logged in at like 0400 est. Pretty fun poo poo and I got the anti material rifle so hopefully it's cool and helps me kill the chargers easier.

I left it logging in for an hour yesterday and then sat idle for an hour doing other poo poo until it was time to play. Shouldn't be like that.
