    It wasn't responding to anything at the time. After the video played, it gave an error. Servers seem to be back up and running but all my bros have given up for the night.

    I don't know how else you explain things like "Shit, sorry, armor doesn't actually do ANYTHING." for a month. Did no one play test the game and realize that half the weapons were trash and armor didn't work? They're in a trap now because they have pushed shit out quickly when it wasn't ready...

    These retards are really stepping on their own dicks. They're claiming that so many people are logging in to try mechs that the BE shit the bed. They were not back up to peak numbers so I think there is more to the story than that. Anyway, people that got in are not getting medals...

    Reddit says you can see a constricting ball of light on the ground prior to a meteor strike. One more thing to keep track of. It crosses the line into annoying. I have been experimenting with the arc gun. One person carrying this and a rover can be pretty effective at clearing trash. It has...

    Just had a PUG lose on level 5. Not only were the newbs dying to bugs, there fucking METEORS falling from the sky that randomly kill you. We took 4 or 5 deaths just from those. Nothing you can do about it as far as I can tell. Just BOOM. Dead. Complete retardation.

    I just played a 6 and we had 3 chargers at the drop. Chaos.

    Maybe I was just unlucky with the PUGs I got, but the game feels harder now. People are fucking around trying out different stuff (as I was) and Chargers are an even bigger pain in the dick now. No rail gun so bring a Spear, for example. That consumes a backpack slot so no Rover for trash...

    Chargers and Bile Titans were already susceptible to the flame thrower. I am surprised they buffed it, especially by that much. I'm okay with the Breaker nerf. I don't think the Rail Gun needed a nerf but I have yet to try it out. They say it should still penetrate Charger armor when...

    Why does this game shit the bed when Steam updates and why is it always when I have a load of samples?

    Interesting. I see chargers as more of a pain in the ass than bile titans. Orbital rail cannons take a pretty good chunk off of them.

    This guy had some good suggestions for settings in video, gameplay, and mouse/keyboard. I didn't use all of them but many are good even if you have to retrain some muscle memory.

    Charger has entered the chat. edit - I should clarify: When you get several spawns and you're out of or low on strats, they stun you, disperse your team, and can be hard to take out. Agreed, though, 2-3 good shots in the leg with an overcharged railgun will do the trick if you can keep from...

    My experience with PUGs is that you get a decent one about 1 in 5, meaning they'll be competent and sufficiently geared to complete the mission at whatever difficulty. If you get into a shit one, you can usually tell straight away and drop out. It is, however, a much better experience with...

    I'm not as excited about mechs and tanks as others are. I'd rather see them tuning primary weapons and adding some QoL stuff before focusing too much on that stuff.

    Helldivers II

    I think all one has to do is be lucky enough to drop into a final mission that is about to be completed in order to unlock the next difficulty. I've seen sub-10s all the way up at difficulty 8. Some of them may be good but they're wholly unequipped form a gear and strategem standpoint. PUGs...

    I read something on this. Basically, as I understand it, the aliens have a fixed rate of progress that continues overnight in the primary market, the US. So, when we're sleeping, the bugs are making progress. Like a lot of things in the game, it needs some tuning. Both of my kids are playing...

    One other thing I would like to see fixed is that if you join a PUG that is already on mission (or is already in their hellpods selecting loadout), you can't tell what the mission is when selecting your loadout.

    Even if they're more or less sideways in power, I'd like to see more significant impact on tactics. Also, there are only a few sets of armor stats and secondary effects. Lots of room for some creativity.

    Yeah, griefing is the game for some people. I had a bunch of friends that were playing this game but it flamed out quickly. I think it was a combination of the server shitshow and wonky progression mechanics. So, now I have resigned to playing in PUGs, which mostly sucks. You have to join...

    You can earn 12500, in about 20 minutes of mortar farming. They're really going to have to rethink progression, challenges, rewards, economy, etc. I'm at like level 32, have all strategems, about half the ship upgrades, and there isn't a lot more to work toward. Folks have burned through the...

    Odds are that I've never had a GM watching one of my games but it does feel like the game varies a lot at a given difficulty. Yesterday, I was playing Impossible difficulty bugs with a PUG and were doing really well, cleared the planet, even when the host had to bail and we were down to three...

    I joined some pugs at difficulty 8 doing mortar farming of the defense/eradicate missions. 3 minutes of fighting for 4k credits, 7 ribbons, and great xp, rinse repeat. That probably needs to be nerfed so that you can only do those types of missions after completing some other mission in the...

    I was thinking about this last night. I prefer the active defense of the Rover over a the passive defense of a shield. One reason is that the Rover is whittling down trains when you're OM to a new objective (or just kiting to try to stay alive). It can be clutch when you're low on ammo/strats.

    Mortars are FF machines but they can be worth it because absolutely fuck up the enemies. The key is to keep moving and keep the baddies at a distance. Even then I may kill you as a teammate occasionally but your life is a sacrifice I am willing to make in defense of Liberty.

    What do you mean by this? Is this something that happens automatically or you guys just randomly picked strats? Also, why does the game sometimes not allow you to add a booster (even if it isn't already in use)? I also noticed sometimes (rarely) you can only bring three strategems. Is this a...

    I've been trying out some lesser used stuff a little disappointed in progression items. Tesla gun seems to have to be pretty close to be effective. I bought the spear and couldn't get it to lock on to anything. The Tesla turret just got shat upon by bots and didn't seem to kill much. I hear...

    From what I hear, it isn't a queue. Some people get in right away, others sit for hours. I've been watching videos and letting it try every 60 seconds. Been doing that for a couple of hours.

    By looking at pre-orders and wishlists? Surely they had some idea of what sort of game they had created. From the sound of it, it isn't just a hardware problem that they can unfuck by buying more server time; their database architecture/code has fundamental problems with the loads they are...

    I do PUGs all the time. If you keep trying, eventually one connects. Try the quick play option sometimes too. Far better playing with friends since you can hear them laughing their asses off when you blow them up.

    Not getting progress for the campaign orders. E.g. finishing automaton campaigns is not increasing the count. Is that why they're giving bonus points? Anyway, I am glad to see that these guys are doing well. They put a lot of heart into this game. I hope they get the problems sorted out...
