it's really weird how many problems in this game can be solved by joining a steam friend's game. i've gotten out of three or four soft locks by doing it

drrockso20 posted:They need to rework or just plain get rid of the various fog and dust cloud effects that can be a level condition, they are not fun to deal with at all they're cool actually imo nnnotime posted:For a new player should I stick to easy missions until I level up? I usually try to play these games on the hardest difficulty, but I realize my newbie character would need to get tougher. Would I be too much a liability to other experienced players if I joined in on tougher missions? I'm watching a bunch of youtube videos for Helldivers 2 tips to get myself trained offline first. the difficulties are locked until you complete an operation on the earlier tier so you should just do the hardest ones available until you start running into situations where you're completely unhelpful. i assume for 90% of players that's going to be any significant number of armored enemies.

Warbadger posted:Also turrets are worse than useless because they all seem to prioritize shooting at the neverending stream of dropships they can't damage, or (mortars) will spend most of the game blowing up the evacuees or blowing up your own team while trying to hit the little jetpack guys. Do dropships have more HP on harder difficulties? Rocket turrets will actually shoot them down in my experience.

dialhforhero posted:The 15 minute kill all you can while on a hill are the best missions IMO. Set up mortars and turrets everywhere and just call all the air strikes. Time them well and it is just pure destruction. A 15 minute defense mission seems like it would be pretty cool. Unfortunately all of the ones I do wind up just being two or three, and that gets old really fast. CuddleCryptid posted:Can't get a new general order til the defense maps are done Or instead of reducing the number of planets needed they could just make the defense mission pool not include evacuate civilians 100% of the time and exterminate defense 50%. I'd gladly be doing the robot defense operations if they could be data retrieval and the ICBM one and whatever other mission types probably exist in those campaigns that you just never see.

Warbadger posted:Rocket turrets may shoot them down, but the stuff on them survives and it's going to 100% keep trying to shoot down the dropships coming in/going out rather than shooting at, say, the 3 hulks and 2 tanks doing donuts 20m away. AFAIK the rocket turret AI prioritizes the most high threat armored targets instead of shooting at whatever, if there are hulks or tanks in its vision it'll shoot at them over anything else. This also makes them pretty ammo efficient in my experience as they won't waste ammo on chaff that get shotgunned to death in seconds if there's a hulk or titan it can focus on instead. Shooting down the dropship will also kill the bots but I think that it has to be a good bit before they're low or slow enough to start dropping them off. I've definitely seen my rocket turret shoot down a dropship and kill all of the robots onboard in the process.

I unlocked the railgun earlier today and tried it out for the first time since my first mission and it is tragic that that is the best gun in the game. If there's going to be one overpowered weapon you'd at least hope that it'd be the autocanon or something

veni veni veni posted:These same people always seem to think that they are the only ones who know what they are doing and everyone else is just taking on engagements for no reason when in reality their team is just getting swarmed and they are not helping at all. in my experience 90% of the time this happens is because they're near a bot fabricator or bug nest and are pulling aggro infinitely so i think that's actually specifically when you should always go rambo.

jokes posted:I do wonder if there are limits to how many bots/bugs can be alive at any given time. Like on Medium, for example, surely there's an upper limit for how many patrols/dropships/whatever you need to deal with. the strength or presence of enemies or something increases the longer that you stay in a mission and it wouldn't surprise me if the different difficulty settings influence the degree to which it does. from what i understand destroying outposts stops or at least reduces enemy spawns in their vicinity, and possibly globally. i can't really think of any other reason as to why a 35 minute extraction with all of the outposts destroyed are consistently the least intense.

Nuebot posted:Something I've noticed that's a huge factor in why I hate bugs so much, is that they're endless in a way robots never are. In a mission just now I went to a PoI, cleared it, and then as soon as I turned around there were at least a dozen bugs without any breach warning. Then a bug breach happened. Then another happened. And another. Aside from the fact that the armored bugs can call in breaches, it seems like you just kind of can't stop it? Like, if a robot pulls out one of those beacons, you shoot it and it stops, and if you kill it they never summon a drop ship. But with bugs, the instant they fart those orange clouds that's it. And then they just chain from there. And once you hit the higher difficulties each wave of bugs means three to five chargers and probably a titan or two and it sucks. you do get endless robots if you get stuck near one or more of their fabricators

do bile titans and charges just die in one shot if you hit them with a railgun during their emerging from the ground animation? i saw one of both popping out in front of me and i managed to hit both with one shot and they both died but i'm not sure how.

ZeusCannon posted:I refuse to think nerfs are the best path for this type of game. Make everything explode more buffing weapons to match the railgun would not address the reason why the railgun is a problem in the first place. being able to one hit kill the strongest enemies in the game is not good and you shouldn't ever need to do that.

Bold Robot posted:Is there any consensus on which ship upgrades to prioritize? I can afford one, almost a second one, but none of the first-level ones seems too exciting. the one that gives you full ammo on stratagem weapons is definitely good. Psycho Landlord posted:One-shotting bile titans is a reward for skilled play and is very important when six of them spawn at once and this is more or less why i think the railgun sucks. i'm using it over other weapons which i enjoy more because i want to deal with multiple chargers at the same time even less, and even if the other anti armor weapons were stronger i'd still not enjoy dealing with a constant stream of chargers.

Psycho Landlord posted:autocannons are better at dealing with chargers than railguns will ever be if you know how to shoot them, so I would suggest using that instead if that is your sole issue. They also can oneshot bile titans! unless the autocanon can stagger and damage chargers from the front then it is not as good

free hubcaps posted:Warframe is currently better than it ever has been so this is a weird analogy it also only works in warframe because it's basically a completely different game. getting a crazy gun that can one hit kill an entire room full of the strongest enemies in the game works there because you're expected to kill hundreds or thousands of them in a mission. and the difficulty in those missions either continuously increases until you fail or are trivial enough that you're expected to basically play the game like you're speedrunning a third person platformer.

While it's reloading, you get dropships otherwise you get robots slowly walking towards your position. there are actually sam sites in the game as side objectives and they do shoot down dropships. the only issue is that they have a range that covers the sam site and basically nothing else.
