what kinda progression is there? it is purely cosmetic, just unlocking more stuff to use, or do the stuffs/you improve?

will there be more warbonds down the road?

tried single player on PS5:

- menus often didn't populate (stratagems, armory)
- return to ship screen froze until invisible animation completed
- war table didn't have anything in it

game's borked!

What is the deal with the twitch drops for this? It doesn't let me link because it says I don't have the minimum required whatevers, do I need to watch the stream (looks like later today there's some going) and then link it to redeem it? Feels backwards from the usual thing where you had to link before being eligible.

some goons mentioned this earlier but yes, for this drop weirdly you watch the hour first, then link and get the code.

do hellpod optimizations affect

a) just me
b) all of us if I'm hosting
c) everyone in my party regardless of host?

some are worded "helldivers get X" and others "all helldivers get X"

EDIT: I'm specifically asking about the warbond unlockable upgrades to the hellpods

explosivo posted:

I was a bit confused about this too. I understand you can upgrade yours regardless of whose ship you're on but it wasn't really clear to me if my "-1s to eagle strikes" upgrade goes for everyone or just me because it's my upgrade on my ship.

I figured without evidence the ship upgrades were host specific, but my question was specifically about the warbond-unlockable hellpod upgrades

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the question too. The boosters affect the entire team, and only 1 person can choose a specific booster (as in, two people can't bring the full ammo booster, but everyone gets it).

that's exactly what I wanted to know, appreciate it!

Anyone managed to redeem that loving twitch drop? gently caress you Json. I assume it's some piece of poo poo who spells his name pretentiously blocking all of my attempts.

I redeemed it on PSN without problem.

also JSON is an open standard file format for sending data between services who otherwise would have difficulty understanding each other.

yeah if you don't get rewards for a mission are you just SOL? there's not some later reward drop they'll make?

JBP posted:

Also lol that they said 150% bonus xp/req and it's an actual 150% bonus on top of what you get for the mission. It actually feels a bit stupid I've unlocked so many strats.

if rewards are also just delayed and not lost I'm definitely gonna try and hit level 20 today.

Destiny 2 has 1800 people working on it and it still somehow doesn't have the bandwidth to add in new enemies after 10 years.

in 10 years they've just managed to figure out how to remove stuff people have already paid for.

Who gives a poo poo if the X and Y are stronger than the Z, the Z is cool and strong in some situations.

this is the crux of it.

there are 40+ stratagems in the game; you can only take 4 with you.

each mission should dictate which 4. switch it up.

Toadsmash posted:

Is it just becoming the meta already that once you complete the main objectives, you beeline for the extraction no matter how much reinforcements and time on the clock you have left, completely ignoring the rest of the map?

saw a YouTube video a few days ago suggesting main objective + immediate extraction is better XP/hour cause the others don't provide enough XP to outweigh the remaining time bonus XP.

If my mates join later what happens wrt me having more hours than them, and them being 'underpowered' on progression?

you choose the difficulty level of each 1-3 mission campaigns.

leveling up only gets you access to new stratagems.

is there analysis on at which difficulty levels which POIs spawn?

anecdotally I dropped into a level 1 mission last night to wrap up 100 flamethrower kills and it was non-stop beacons/bunkers with medals/super credits/req points.

If you want this gangtag:



Notes/Rules:

1) Quote this post within the next 24 hours or so, cutoff time will be 14/03/24 9am UTC (you can of course buy the gang tag for yourself at any point, this is just for the freebies)

2) If you already have the max amount of gang tags (3) please tell me which one to remove to make room in your quote post.

3) Desire for this gang tag was way higher than I expected. If your only post in this thread is asking for the gang tag I am probably not going to queue one for free, apologies. I queue these up but admins still have to sign off on em and we're apparently discouraged from handing them out like candy :v:
