the rewards bug just seems to be it taking a little while to register as opposed to something you need to log out and back in for.

Au Revoir Shosanna posted:hard difficulties aren't super hard even with non-meta kit, but it involves too much running away from fights, imo, which is not as fun as killing things it think it's kinda silly to take a game like this, where poo poo often just goes off the rails and snowballs and a million other things can go wrong, and say that weapon balance is what will make it more or less fun? are we playing the same game?

my friend who always plays hammered and had no idea what anything did bought the flamethrower and took it to into a bug mission. That's how I learned it destroyed chargers. he's not a meta-chasing gamer at all and it was so funny to see him stumble upon this arcane knowledge (you're still telling yourself that they nerfed the only support weapon worth using)

Mode 7 posted:The absolute histrionics going on in the game's subreddit over a set of minor balance adjustments is astonishing. The discord was in a state earlier. Mods had to enable slowdown mode because too many people were lashing out in chat. And so for a while everybody was sending single message multiparagraph screeds. They'd scroll up unread in seconds.

Risky Bisquick posted:I tried a couple games with the railgun, the gun is no longer the king it once was. It doesn't strip armour reliably, it doesn't headshot reliably, so you're left whiffing shots being chased like you're on difficulty 4. Today was the first day I really made an effort with the railgun (i got hooked on the autocannon early on) so it feels powerful and it's really fun to make some of the bigger bugs go SPLAT.

Squashing Machine posted:Dude, I don't see the point of dickriding this hard. Game's good but people are justifiably annoyed that it keeps having base-level issues that prevent them from playing it. The devs aren't going to give you a special cape I think it's just the frustration of the actual issues that seem to compound with every update and the foreknowledge that this is being worked into the next american mass murderer's manifesto.

Play posted:It's funny how this thread talks about reddit and discord being a cesspool and then proceeds to get in pointless slapfights about dumb things in a video game on nearly every page. If you think certain weapons are not viable at high diffs or need buffs or shouldn't have been nerfed, you get a sneering 'maybe you just suck at the game ' and if you feel the opposite you get some other abuse and let yourself be drawn into an argument. whatever else helldivers 2 is, it is also a social experiment that is driving people crazy.

like me and some friends have been playing since launch and we've been chill but today is the first day we're collectively losing our poo poo. we're playing on hard which has been doable but today there are infinite bug spawns..they don't stop..no matter what..

flamethrower has been so reliable for use against chargers it's kinda become a staple in my kit. i can aim in the direction of a breach and i find myself worrying less and wondering more what crispy bug tastes like. probably a great source of protein!

Lysandus posted:Did they turn on gently caress you mode or something? I'm watching groups of heavy robots just spawn in front of me. I been seeing a lot of this and I think the community needs to accept that this is what the game master angle means. Stealth changes to enemy ai, armor value, spawn rates, whatever. Cool to behold until it is frustrating to not be able to do what you could before and not really know why. Idk how to feel about it yet but i am definitely hooked (will for sure lead to brand new exciting frontiers in gamer toxicity!)

Fishstick posted:I mean this specifically is not "Bots are harder now and there are more patrols", it's patrols literally appearing from thin air right in front of you. it's jank for sure but not on planets with low visibility. i don't know how poo poo works but i doubt every unit on the map takes a drop pod. helldivers 2: it's a feature, not a bug

pugged most of the morning on suicide bugs and it's still tough. i don't think i had one group without leavers or even complete the objective. looking forward to playing more later with friends.

You really have to anticipate flamethrower use. If you try to spin it up while a harangue of hunters is hopping towards you, they will laugh at you and call you names. For me it really melts chargers like butter and for that alone it's worth it. It feels good to heat up breaches as they spawn, too.

I really like Scorcher. But it's my gun. Ya'll can't use it.

Arc thrower is a beast. It's sort of balanced by the fact that your teammates will not be wearing the new arc resistant armor even if you beg them to (because they'd be giving up any utility to not get killed by your dumb rear end), but after you kill them enough times you learn when and when not to fire that thing safely. Also I saw someone crap on the AMR. I wish it took out fabricators but I love using it to snipe hulks. my favorite thing to do is chain stun a group of devastators and plink their heads. they'll be lined up nicely if they've just fallen out of a drop ship. Fun! But less fun against bugs.

GokuGoesSSj69 posted:Haha yeah on that planet immediately after I threw my first grenade launcher down near a plateau I was like oh I'll bet they can get stuck up there. It narrowly missed but something to watch out for. it is funny as gently caress to see a relatively small rock block most of an eagle - or the very edge of a resupply drop clipping a rock and staying suspended in air - or calling down a railcannon strike against a bile titan and slowly realizing the canyon wall ate it as she crushes you with her fabulous heels.

i think you have to pace your shots a little, the recoil takes a little longer to settle than it seems. i quit using it because scorcher seems to do everything slugger did but with very nice handling and additional self-harming potential.

Last night's automaton defend mission went okay until they started dropping directly on top of us nonstop. And then it snowballed. And then the game crashed. Fun!

Hang on a minute. We can talk about how necessary the slugger nerf was (it was). But why would you want to put us through that again?

so the dominator dominates. it basically does what slugger was before without the insane recoil and with some travel time. i think everything will be o k .

bot defend/rescue civilians missions now have a larger arena and get dropped in from the outside so now you have a few more minutes before things snowball. might be able to deal with dropships better before things get unmanageable. be aware patrols will 'spawn' in from the big area just like in normal missions . hilariously.
