It's a little bit of a grind but you'd think the world is ending the way they talk about it. I much prefer a slow steady unlock pace for the passive bonuses while the items and strategems come relatively quickly. Makes everything feel like progress bot short and long term and keeps the difficulty treadmill feeling good too as you slowly become stronger.

The Eruptor seems to behave a little like the UT Flak cannon alt fire in that it sends out a bunch of projectiles away from the impact, dealing damage separately from the explosion. If you get smacked by the flak then you can fall over and bleed etc, and you can get a bunch of indirect chaff kills this way too edit: same piddly sfx as the dominator though, disappointing novaSphere fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Apr 11, 2024 |

the eruptor seems pretty ok. it can't damage hulk faces but it will one shot devastators sometimes and the projectiles only occasionally instantly detonate and knock your character forward out of cover or kill you

Yeah, this kind of game needs long term progression and they can combine that with basically infinite scaling a la Diablo 3 to keep the treadmill going for a long time.

So the expanded resupply strategem maybe doesn't work? I tested by firing off and reload until my Medium Machine gun had no more reserve clips. Called down the resupply and picked up a single box, and it still only returned one mag, instead of 2 like the strategem said. Also, Space G3 feels like a space G3, but probably isn't actually very good. Won't stop me from using it though. BadLlama fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Apr 11, 2024 |

I maybe get 3-9 super samples in a week, give or take. Considering I still have 25 or so to go on the original stuff, that is about a month, and each of the new ones costs 15-25, and there are 6 of them, so yeah it's months. I'll just never get them since my friends play even less and are often not in the mood for the higher difficulties and prefer to play on 5.

Ship upgrade that permanently unlocks a support weapon stratagem slot in the top row of the loadout screen loving where/when!? It doesn't even have to be the full stratagem - just initially deploying with the selected weapon would be "good enough" to be worthwhile. On a related note, missions that reduce you to 3 stratagems are a massive pain in the rear end. I'd legitimately prefer scrambled inputs to "haha have fun with 25% less DEMOCRACY".

I've played for 70 hours and haven't gotten all the base modules, based on my current play each of those modules is about 15+ hours of gameplay...so I will get the first of these modules in approximately 3 months.

I can only play one trivial mission a month (I have eleven children, am a single parent, have 3 jobs, volunteer at the local library and sewage plant, and am a full time high school and college student). I also can’t pick up samples (it’s against my religion - Metaprogression Mormonism) so I’m a little concerned about my progress in this game. Wish the default weapon and early stratagems were effective at the highest levels of play (that I will never see) but alas.

If you could reset your completed account progress for a 1% universal buff or something, some people would do it happily. I have friends that have everything unlocked, some other goons have posted similar stuff. The rate at which different people play online games is just big, so a provision for people that are chewing it up and spitting it out is fine by me. My biggest question is what is this game going to look like six months from now when the buffs from ships keep stacking; are we eventually going to need a ship load out as well? Couldn't these passive buffs get out of hand? Wouldn't it make it harder and harder for new players to play with friends?

The world ain't ending but having fun toys dangled out of reach for a long time ain't my idea of a good time, either. So far the upgrades have seemed to thread the needle between where they are very nice without being "requisite." A level 10 Space Cadet with a good loadout and good situational awareness can credibly contribute to clearing 7's. I don't play enough to have everything unlocked either and it seems ok? I can imagine a future where that changes people ask for your super destroyer Gear Rating on helldiverepeen.io and kick you if you aren't high enough level and don't meet their "standards" but it doesn't seem like we're there yet.

15% faster extracts is exactly the sort of balance I'd expect, it just doesn't seem important when phrased as 18 seconds.
