Pubbies ignoring Stalker Nests is my biggest pet peeve. Especially if it is the (new?) 4 stalker nest which is a run ender if not dealt with. I exclusively play with randoms so it is hit or miss if people are doing things, but 99% of the time it has been a good experience.

As soon as you see a stalker it should be the immediate priority to find and destroy the nest above anything else. A lot harder to do now that they just *appear* and ragdoll you to death with tendril whips, before you could see the silhouette clearly in the distance and trace them back easy enough.

I haven't personally found Stalkers much harder than they were per se, at least compared to whenever I got blindsided by a pack even before they got proper optical camo, but yeah they're way harder to keep track of now even if you know where they are. Had to clear out a double nest on my own on diff 8 (I alerted my team but they were pinned on an objective in the northwest while I was in the northeast), managed to bomb several holes while torching them with my Flamethrower but ran out of stims and had to run back to finish the job - thankfully one of the others had died and dropped a Blitzer for me to snag (I'm still only in the default warbond - I have accumulated nearly enough SC from playing for two Premium warbond unlocks but I haven't decided to commit yet), which was pretty handy for juggling the Stalkers still around the nest.

The team I had tonight simply unloaded strategems and guns in the general direction of the stalkers, which either killed or uncloaked them. Then we killed them and their nest. Bc of the flamethrower challenge we had 2 flamethrower guys and still somehow we had trouble with chargers.

The 20 hunters makes charger wrangling more complicated with the flamethrower. Bile Titans being unfuckwithable while carrying the flamethrower also throws some more bs into the mix.

The worst thing about stalkers now is you can't ping around and find their nest on the map.

Bottom Liner posted:500kg is awesome because you get 2 charges and you can use it on a big variety of targets. Does the orbital cooldown average out to be as useful? The 500 is generally more useful but the orbital is just so much more satisfying to 1-shot with imo. It probably matters above 7 but I'm allergic to real difficulty in co-op games.

Precision strike is fairly close to an orbital version of the 500kg. Smaller radius but similar damage and utility. Will kill research bases, detector towers, and other hard targets. Easy to hit stunnable small things or slow big things with it. If you're taking a crowd-control support weapon and have confidence in your titan wrangling movement it's not unreasonable to take both.

It's hard on some maps, but a lot of times if you see a decent size black dot/smudge on your minimap that doesn't have a red nest shading on it, it's likely a stalker nest, although sometimes they are close enough to a regular nest/bug stuff that the black merges. Also they always come from the direction of their nest so after you deal with them run in that direction. The double stalker nest was always there, it's just not present every time since there are a few variations.

Popping a Charger's skull with an EAT at the last second so its corpse slumps at your feet is peak gaming  I also like deliberately diving off the raised platform in the bug eradication mission onto the Pelipad during extract, eating poo poo, and crawling into the shuttle

mercenarynuker posted:So I have a UI question. At one point when I toggled my map, I could see the samples count (X/Y Commons, A/B Rares, etc). I rejiggered some settings at one point I think and now I can't anymore. I have had the Settings option "Sample Visibility" set to both Visible and Dynamic since then, but it still doesn't show the Samples count. Is that little counter tied to something else? I know it still exists, because my buddy has it on his, but we're stumped on what setting I need to enable/disable I had the same issue. You need to change Mission Info Visibility away from Visible. I switched it back to Dynamic and sample counts started showing up again.

I dunno if anyone noticed but at some point they added a "Hide UI" keybind that is unbound by default. I bound it but it didn't work. After this recent patch it now works for me. Enjoy this hot evac. UI free.

Had a level 17 pubbie in a diff8 bug mission last night, which should have been my cue to drop from the group. He was terrible, we barely made it to evac. Before leaving, I called him back in. He slammed down on me, killing me and making me drop the 35 samples I had on me. I was on mic quickly saying to pick up the samples, I had basically all of them! He didn't pick them up, and walked into the pelican. Mission over! First time I actually just quit to desktop before any final mission stats rolled through. I've been playing 8's, since 7's are the lowest needed to get supers, I figured 8's would have the people that are a little more confident in the game. Maybe I should just do 9's now.

They claimed that the warbond schedule isn't done by Sony. I think it was their ceo that mentioned it. E: still unhappy about the account linking. As a pc player I don't see any value in it for me so its probably only useful for them. They mention security but how can they not ban/protect with what they have now?

the mandatory psn linking is not ideal but eh, it was in the requirements on the steam page. they should have just made it mandatory from the start i guess. just give sony your data i mean they made the ps5 they're obviously smart and know what they're doing

If you think about it, they're absolutely right about their new content schedule. I'm someone who drops games after playing for a few days usually, and I often barely log in to the one MMO I actually pay for. I play Helldivers several times a week and I haven't gotten tired of it. They keep my attention very successfully. And when you consider this games whole shtick, it kinda relies on keeping a large amount of their playerbase on that active schedule. Advancing a plot through interactive global events doesn't work if everyone pisses off until new content drops months later like we do in every other game.

I didn't realise it was never mandatory, I made one when I got the game and haven't thought about it since. Just one more of the million accounts you have to make for stuff, and I don't really see how Sony is any worse than the thousand other corporations that already have all of my data. They definitely shouldn't require it in unavailable regions though, that would be genuinely lovely.
