      @@chilbiyito I mean I'd hope the people who are producing the game would realize that as they had access to it before anyone else did. Especially when you know big companies like Sony likely have entire divisions dedicated to trying to understand the psychology of consumers. You've got a consumer friendly game with little to no microtransactions despite being a live service game, it doesn't cost a hundred bucks like most games now a days and on top of that is extremely fun and (minus the current server issues) is very high quality with a lot of effort put into it.
      I think the fact that the brand isn't recognized kinda further proves my point as it just shows they don't even realize that brand recognition really isn't that important to most people. They don't even seem to consider that all it takes is making a genuinely fun game that doesn't try to milk its players dry. I dunno its just my speculation after all but it feels like more than ever they just don't get it. Hopefully the success of HD2 and failure of "Kill" the justice league (which yeah I know isn't a sony game but it's live service) makes more studios and publishers understand that THESE are the kinds of games we want more of.

    In the first game, the progression of the Galactic map continued on its own, with enemies pushing towards SE if players aren't pushing back, and vice versa. Back in its heyday, it wasn't rare for the fun factions to get played against a lot, eliminated and then you had to play the others. And then the war ended in a result, and players that fought in that war would get a cosmetic set as a reward. (A tattered battle damaged set if Super Earth lost the war, and a ceremonial set if it won). Apparently, in this game, they also have DMs who will adjust things depending on how players are doing. I wonder if that means we could see surprise offensives from a desperate enemy faction.

    the difficulty in helldivers is an RNG, you will get missions on high difficulty which will make patrols easy to avoid like you said, but the opposite will happen too, The enemies that will come from the ships also vary a lot, and depending on whether you can deal with them quickly or not, they will only accumulate, another thing is to fight close to places that have enemies, they will be attracted by the noise and explosions, if you have the possibility Exterminating them before moving helps not to accumulate so many. i love the upgrade on the game, i play the first 1 since 2016.

      I think the big thing is, while it can be rng, a lot of that rng can be mitigated by your setup and good performance on the field. I can consistently do hard diff solo and will start ramping up to do extremes solo.
      The enemies and how they work overall is something you have to take consideration, along with the type of mission you run into. I think the biggest issue people have is that they take too long. Lower difficulties encourage you to stick around and complete EVERYTHING, while higher difficulties staying for too long will get you overwhelmed

    The current balance (or really the lack of) for the weapons is the biggest thing holding back players. The higher difficulties in the first game could be completed with virtually any weapon, but now there are minimum viable weapons in HD2, which feels bad. I don't want to have to use one of three weapons to play. I like laser weapons, but the scythe is so worthless that it might as well just be removed until they refurbish it to have a comparable utility/output to justify its use.

      The game has "DMs" controlling certain things but planets losing progress is not because of them. The planets are losing progress because not enough players are at those planets. The enemies are constantly pushing back a little bit so if there are not enough players at a planet it won't really progress. I think you are supposed to fight mostly at the planets closest to Super Earth, and keep pushing the enemies back.

    6:50 Here's the thing about close quarters combat in Helldivers. EVERY faction will paste you if you get too close. It's just that the automatons have more units dedicated to killing you from far away and only a few that are frenziedly rushing across the map to murder you. If you try to get up close and personal make no mistake, while they might give you a curious glance if you decidedly run in, they'll still more than happily krump your ass.
    It's less of a change in your loadout/weaponry that's going to matter because unfortunately at the higher levels, the good stuff works across the board. The shotgun he's describing will work just as good on the bots as it will the bugs. But if you're used to taking cover and looking out for rockets, it can be a little jarring to suddenly have to fight an enemy that doesn't care about any of that and just banzai charges you with full abandon.

    Whenever I was on this morning, I did some math of who all was on the planets and had about 350,000+ Helldivers. Now whether or not they were active or idling, I don't know, but you love to see it. Hopefully they can keep fixing the servers quickly as the problems arise like they did today/last night. My friends and I were stonewalled with issues last night but this morning we were playing and progressing just fine.

    I want to see 3 way battles where automatons, super earth, and the bugs fight it out.

    I played the game for 6 hours straight yesterday there were some connection issues for some of my friends due to servers being at capacity but i had a blast.

    I read from a data miner that these updates are mainly to prevent people from cheating mainly and not to fix stuff we are dealing now regarding server side or other stuff people are dealing with.

    Getting up close with a shotgun against the automatons while blasting Kickstart My Heart or Free Bird is so fun

    I'd love to see a dinosaur/reptile faction, or a tremors style graboids giant worm faction that just move around under the ground.

    They did say, that they have control over the galactic map and can drop some surprise for us.

    Played on suicide mission difficulty for the bugs depending of what the mission is it's not that difficult but trying to do objectives that have multiple locations you have to go full democracy

    I’m excited to play this game but I’m waiting on some other expenses as well as the servers to increase in size. Been watching gameplay and I am thoroughly impressed.

    11:23 in the same difficulty you’ll find a spread of actual difficulty cause every mission has its own things going on, like we got fucked by the stratagem scramble at the same time as cranking up the difficulty cause we didn’t know to check that

    I think the price helped a lot as well. People see the 3 in the beginning and pull the trigger

    Love to see indies and mid-size devs succeed. They've been crushing it for at least the last decade.

    I'm glad they are doing well. I hope everyone that helped it's success lands on their feet when they're laid off.
