No one plays this game anymore eh? I watched a twitch stream with David Fifield last night. He talked a little about the upcoming engine change. He clarified...they said the update was never planned for April, it was planned for no sooner than April. There is no promise that PS4 or XBox 1 will be supported beyond April, they wanted to give at least a six month notice (video was in September). Next event, Wake of Desolation, launches next month.

Assuming it fades, which, god willing, it won't. I say, religiously playing Helldivers 2 and being pleased I'm not getting sniped from 200 metres away with an iron sights lebel by someone named □□□□□□ on 300 ms ping.

Some youtubers got to play the event early and reveled what the new factions are and what their traits do. Once again, there's one faction that seems to be head-and-shoulders better than the rest. The Primal pack brings back berserker, but also beastface will let all animals ignore you completely. Other than that it's a goody station in the center of the map (and randomly in watchtowers, arsenals, and supply wagons) that you can spend marks on to get stuff. The stuff is pretty great though. https://twitter.com/HuntShowdown/status/1764713347490918735

its pretty trivial to burn out solo's now. I don't think I've had a single match since the flare gun/fusees buff where I had to deal with a terminator solo that just won't stay dead

Yeah there are many ways to deal with it, but its boring to have to camp burn a body when you know he's alone and a solo.

Azran posted:It's like what, two-three minutes tops? Yeah. IIRC you burn 1 hp/s on the ground without salveskin, so 2 minutes 5 seconds if they've only lost one small bar and don't speed up the process by self-reviving. With salveskin, it would be 0.75 hp/s (?), or 2m 47s. You can often shave a full minute off that time, of course, because a concertina bomb will guarantee a kill even through resilience once they're down to 75 hp or so, and traps when they're down to 50. I've camped many burning solos. It's a trivial amount of time, significantly less than you spend, say, waiting for a boss to banish or otherwise camping in an average match against full teams. Less than you often spend milling around and looting bodies after a fight against a trio. And just like in those situations, you still have to be alert for other players. If people find that boring then they also find other, much more common situations in this game boring

Something those gun stats glossed over is the hip fire spread, which is notable for both. For the Marathon, it has a spread of only 15 - making it the tightest spread in the game. The next closest is the Springfield at 20. With the high fire rate, it's probably going to be quite good for twitch aiming at someone from the hip. For the Mako, it has a spread of 47.5 - which is insanely huge for a lever-action gun. It's the worst spread of any gun that can be levered or fanned - for comparison, the nagant silenced and the chain pistol are both rated at 45 spread. Granted it can two-tap a full health hunter as long as you don't get an arm+leg or leg+leg, so the lack of accuracy isn't as bad as it could be, but it's still going to be quite hard to lever effectively outside of very close ranges.

They doubled or tripled what you need to find or kill for some of the event chores and also made it take longer to kill the bosses. It's like they're trying to make it tedious.

Event points seem to be coming a good bit faster this time, hit into the 200s a few matches last night. The middle cache thing is pretty big for that though, guaranteed 4 totems, and if you have a primal hunter you only need one on the way there to be able to pick up the bounty. Bosses are only slower with tools, and it's enough I think a world axe might be better than knuckle knife for assassin. Sticky bomb making a comeback this patch. Remember to grab a lantern and throw it onto the already burning solo, they'll cook quicker with active fire.

Pushing retirement to 50 is going to make my prestige grind even more painful RIP On the other hand I will have hunters with tons of traits to play at least 1 more game with - usually it was one good game > straight to retirement.

the thing in the middle of the map that automatically shows you both compounds does count or the "discover boss lairs" challenge, but only for 1 of the 2, even if you use it to discover both boss lairs lol

Im really liking the new Marathon. It feels good to shot, it has good sights, no traits needed, and the hip fire spread is great. To deal with the boss melee changes so far I've been either bringing a sticky or the katana. Sticky is unreliable against assassin though so I might try the lemat with pennyshot. Would be a nice bonus of pooling marathon ammo.

Not sure why they needed to change the melee weapons to all be one slot. They'd of been better off making it so you can split a slot to take 2 guns + a melee, in any combination of 4/5 chunks depending on quartermaster.

So not sure what it is, normally when one of us in our group of players gets burned out, someone else in our group pulls us back in for the event. This time around all seven of us have collectively declared we simply can be bothered. I think for us Hunt is at its end. Not sure what did it, but we're all just happily playing other things right now. Maybe we'll get pulled back in at some point but something special about Hunt feels absent these days.

Helldivers 2 came out and absoluetly bodied every other live service game in earshot atm, and it doesn't need 50GB reinstalls every 4 weeks. It's just the nature of the live service space, it's insanely fickle.

For me it was the back to back events, followed by this one being relatively close on the last one's heels. New event is good, guns aren't major outliers (though I'm a bit meh on them), but I'm still a bit burned out. The points come fast at least and the new spend marks for stuff feels smoother than the pledge/spend from before. PvE challenges changes and the prestige change are garbage though, could have done without those.

When the event started I zoned in on primal pact and wrote off the others. But couple days ago I gave lawfull a try and god drat its good. Getting health bars back when you loot a corpse is huge. And my favorite gun is the berthier but the low ammo was too restrictive for me (I can't aim worth a poo poo). Getting ammo back when you loot makes all the difference, god drat.

I'd completely written off the mako since on paper the stats are worse, but drat I love it. If you like the berthier you might like the mako too. The sights on the mako are really nice, and I'm bringing an ammo box to help during big/long fights.
