Super Earth is so dedicated to freedom that they'll send in a new trooper on a solo mission just to finish extraction.

I wonder if they're dynamically adjusting the Galactic War progress as they go, because it seems like Heeth keeps yoyoing between 65% and 55% and if that keeps up we're not gonna finish OPERATION VALIANT ENCLOSURE in 6 days.

A defense mission starting with three Bile Titans can gently caress right off.

Feels like Challenging is the limit of a what an uncoordinated group can manage to full clear the map and Hard is the limit for just doing objectives and bailing. My Super Destroyer for a pubbie who understands that just because we can see the bugs does not mean we have to engage them.

Bugs are fine, they just don't do much on the lower difficulties. Since those are the only ones people can reliably clear with a random group, bugs getting tiring very quickly. Even on the lower difficulties, bots very much make you feel like you are in The poo poo and have way more going on.

TheMostFrench posted:Too many people getting into fights with enemy patrols, and then just staying to fight the enemies that spawn instead of running away. Slowing down a big wave of enemies chasing you is when something like a minefield stratagem would be useful, but so many times I've seen people go into a heavy nest, clear it, and then just run around the put in circles fighting the new enemies that are appearing out of thin air instead of moving away to something else. I soloed half of a Challenging mission because the pubbies just kept fighting random poo poo while I ran around actually doing the objectives. It was actually kind of handy because they kept getting bug breaches while I could just run around dropping Liberty on POIs and nests.

If we're to assume that every liberated planet is a Super Earth colony, they have a population numbering in the tens, if not hundreds of billions, which would make throwing bodies at multiple eternal hellwars not just possible, but economical. In the glorious brightness of the XX millennium, there is only Democracy.

This game conveys the feeling of being in an invasion more than any other game I've played. The touches like seeing other stratagems and drop pods going down in the skybox, the little bits of context building from the briefings and voicelines from the ship NPCs, its just enough to really sell the idea of this giant galactic war. And yeah, it's great that despite all the bombast about Helldivers being the best of the best, you're still wading through mud and garbage and are probably going to die It's also extremely loving lol that special forces teams are being deployed on an incredibly dangerous missions to survey valuable ore veins.

My most recent mission started with us dropping into a Spore Spewer area and me instantly doming one of my teammates to try and kill the Bile Spewer right next to him as he spawned. Things went downhill from there.

The 120mm objective is probably the first I'm flat out not going to bother with. Its way more of a danger to your group than it is to the enemy.

Huh. Turns out 4 mortar turrets on one person is the correct strategy for a bot defense mission.

That they didn't mention the spawns on the escort mission makes me think it's intentional lmao. I wonder if the players are intended to lose the first few planets just so there's more worlds to fight the bots on than Ubanea (which is close to liberated last I checked) and Space 'Nam.

The Major Orders are community-wide missions. They are not missions specifically for you (those are the Minor Orders). The counter will only tick up if the community as a whole succeeds in a defense campaign.

The sample grind is probably my biggest peeve with the actual design of the game. You need so many for a single upgrade, you're generally only going to get a handful per mission unless you're scouring every POI (which is boring), and it can be real difficult to actually get them all the way to extraction. But the actual upgrades aren't that big of a deal and it gives me something to keep working towards long-term so whatever I guess.

I do hope future defense campaigns have a bit more mission variety. I don't want to fight on those planets any more purely because almost every operation is multiple defend missions and that loving scientist evacuation.

Popli IX is now an Automaton defense planet and it has the same "This planet is actual, literal Hell" biome as Hellmire. You know, if you wanted to make fighting bots even more enjoyable.

Away all Goats posted:Special exception to this one pubbie who tried to rambo, died, and then tried to convince one/all of us to trek across the map to get his stuff back. Yeah, this is a rambo faux pas. If you run off solo, die, and get called back near the group, them's the breaks. Be better at video games next time. I generally give myself one shot at soloing and if I die, I stick with the team the rest of the game. Unless they're turning every patrol into the Battle of Verdun, of course.

The biggest advantage the railgun has over other options is not needing a backpack. I love the autocannon, but having to take a backpack with it does limit my options. Whereas with the railgun I can take a support weapon that is just as effective while also taking a Guard Dog or shield or supply pack. That's a pretty significant boost regardless of what faction or difficulty you're one. I suspect Arrowhead's intention was that the whole team reload thing would make the RR or autocannon more effective than the railgun as long as you have a buddy loading for you, but in actual practice that doesn't ever happen.

When you're a Cadet, you accidentally friendly fire people because of inexperience. When you're a SKULL ADMIRAL you friendly fire people because it was them or Liberty and a Helldiver never betrays Liberty.

Arrowhead is encountering a sad truth of success: you can't interact with a massive playerbase the same way you interact with a niche audience. The lesson they should take away from this snafu is that they have to tone down the amount of community interaction they have in general. Anyway, mechs are fun but we're about to lose Angel's Venture because a lot of stuff is bugged and Operations aren't completing properly.

Qubee posted:Loving the game so far. Just had a sour experience, I've been joining those squads you see on the galactic map just so I can play with others instead of by myself. Didn't realise people can troll you by constantly killing you with their droppods before kicking you from their game. I wasted 10 mins and got nothing to show for it. I'm now a tad bit more apprehensive about joining public games as there doesn't seem to be any protection against this sort of behaviour? There's no protection against dickheads, but there's also no penalty for just leaving a game. If it sucks, hit da bricks!
