Hakarne posted:The new bot ships seem extremely unfun. Dropped on a small map with two facilities and we were literally just spawn camped by a never ending stream of gunships that hovered over the entire map and blew us up as soon as we landed. People complained about Bile Titans and Chargers before they reduced the spawns but this feels like Bile Titans that can fly and launch missile salvos and oh they can fan out over the map too. once you're out of a medium range they stop spawning gunships, run away, kill the stragglers, avoid the spire if you can't or shouldn't kill it

Gunships are basically Stalkers on super crack. Still don't think Spear is worth it, you can down lone gunships with regular good bot guns and if they're swarming the spear certainly isn't going to keep up with its slow reload and pathetic ammo count.

There was literally no getting away, there were 3-4 locking on to you as soon as you dropped in and you were always in range of one or both spawning facilities. I'd destroy one with my hell pod then try to grab an EAT to kill another but oops there's another one that already launched it's missiles so you're either dead or rag dolled into the open where more missiles and lasers are waiting from his friend. It was the most miserable introduction to them that I could imagine.

Sounds like you just had a bad drop, blitz missions can get hairy fast in general. They're honestly not that bad, they function like stalkers and are most dangerous when you're already pressured by other stuff or let them build up to unmanageable levels. I wouldn't judge them based on that one experience, they die fast to most good anti-bot guns and the towers don't spawn them very fast.

Yeah, they're a lot like Stalkers that require heavy weapons to kill and also are ranged so you can't ignore them and also are elevated so severely limit your cover options and also severely complicate targeting by not being on the same plane as every other threat/target and also can't be stopped by a grenade or long-bomb 500kg. Sooooo not at all like Stalkers. Edit: Also they're immune to the vast majority of callins by dint of flying. Just another bonus. raverrn fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Apr 3, 2024 |

they're stalkers with guns and also you need a hellbomb to drop, arm, and detonate without dying to kill their nest

the spear does in fact demolish those new flying bot gun ships the problem is the drat spawn point can't be killed by anything other than a hellbomb. if someone finds another way to blow up their spawn points pls let me know in general i love running spear on bot missions. it's inconsistent at targetting but you routinely can take out foundries from an absurd range and the one thing they do lock onto very quickly is the gunships

I tried out the riot shield and AM rifle after the patch. The AM rifle still has an offset reticle but it kills poo poo real good though. Damage buff mainly seems to make it eat through the Devastators faster and one shot scout strider legs when they're facing you. Riot shield is good now. Very good. I actually survived a rocket with more than half health with it thanks to the rocket damage bug being fixed. I still went flying but I didn't drop it. I did drop it when picking up a SEAF artillery shell. Highlight was facing a riot shield Devastator shield to shield. I casually pulled out my revolver, got the twirl animation, and put a single bullet into its Cranial Processing Unit. My shield was better.

Goddamn, AH. my bet would be on the magical Autodesk engine only they and Fatshark are still using and appears to behave identically here as it already did for Vermintide and Darktide... which is again why they should just do the needful and include reconnect on crash/disco same as FS did for their crashy games

Sindai posted:They didn't patch that, but that crash doesn't prevent you from getting mission rewards (or even continuing the operation after you restart) so it's not such a big deal. Also - in the cases where I've crashed I've been in some other (random person's) game, so for me I just end up back on my own ship. It just looks like I bailed as soon as the mission ended, and annoyingly when it has happened it's been when we've had a good team going and I've had a good rapport with them. I don't like just appearing to bounce without saying a word

I feel for the folks getting crashes but playing this almost exclusively with friends I can't remember the last time this game actually crashed on me and didn't just freeze for a few seconds because my cpu was too hot. That always froze long enough to kick some people in my group so I just stopped being the guy running the squad and we haven't had any issues since. Real weird how much stuff like that varies based on how many people seem to be getting constant crashes.

I've dropped my settings to low and keep my GPU fan at 80% and I'm still crashing every other "deployment". The game is just buggy as gently caress. I won't be playing as much anymore but I'm not uninstalling it either. CNN is loving reporting about helldivers memes. The game is huge and I'm sure all this will be fixed ~eventually~ but its still dumb.

Insert name here posted:Devastators seem to still take the same amount of hits as before (1 headshot or 2 torso shots), the big difference comes from striders (-1 shots to all parts compared to before), and it handles berserkers much easier now. I have heard but have not tested yet that the AMR one-shots devastators in the lower torso weak point. For completion you might also want to try the legs, they're light armor and kill pretty quickly - the Dominator will two-shot any Devastator if you hit the same leg.

Robo legs are often overlooked as potential weakpoints, I need to try shooting more robo legs.

Recently I've been on a streak of having a decent game, right until the end, when my team mates suddenly decide to throw themselves against a robot base and waste all our reinforcements before trying for extraction. It gets worse when two people have crashed so it's just me and one other player, who's throwing themselves repeatedly into a robot base and an endless swarm of dropships. They don't seem to comprehend the counter ticking down, or they believe extraction's going to go perfectly, somehow. I suspect it might be because a lot of people are used to fighting bugs, where that kind of thing's easier to pull off
