Its been said before. AH was neither ready for nor did they want the CoD crowd. They wanted a small niche audience like HD1 but theyr game was too good, and word of mouth spread like wildfire. I dunno if it hurt or helped to bring in the Xbox divers but theyr stuck with this grumpy, never happy crowd now, and so are we

Sometimes Pelican 1 likes to play mole for a while

Gotta love them Ads

Always glad to hear my favorite Propaganda Commanders are living the dream

I think it's more the devs are working on the major updates right now for a summer launch of the major content and during the summer the only folks at the studio will be interns and support staff for any emergency situation

June and July is summer vacation in Sweden. I expect there to be a lull on major updates after the June update.

If I recall summer was the eta end of the previous road map. So yeah folk, you should have just been patient for this summer.

Honestly it makes sense for the real juice to be in the summer as that is vacation season meaning high peak times. Spring, Fall, and January-Febuary are more slow seasons for the wider entertainment industry because folks have this thing called real life

I'm glad to hear that the galactic war is coming back, and that we'll get more red stratagems (orbitals pls 🥺).
I'm even more glad they're considering beta testing, hopefully that will allow them to be less afraid of putting out equipment and stratagems slightly off balance.

I just looked that one up. Apparently they hired someone who happens to a vocal feminist.

So naturally all the weak insecure men have to leave a negative review.

Part of the problem with the Sony refund was all the people jumping on the bandwagon. You can look at reviews at that time and see several reviews with playtime between 0.0 and 0.1 hours. Scope that out to .5 hours and they're even more.

I use the flamethrower, gas barrage or napalm airstrike, tesla or gatling sentry and a jump pak or patriot exo.

People are shitting on the exo suits past week, but the patriot has proven to be solid for me against these fast bugitos.

…for its continued focus on new Warbonds over major gameplay changes. Since launch, the multiplayer game has received 23 Warbonds, which fans have grown tired of grinding for…

Ok, so this (the review bombing) is definitely crap then. The thing about the those 23 warbonds is that Arrow Head still lets you grind for premium currency in game, kind of like games of old. Those warbonds add gadgets (weapons etc) to your arsenal that have very real change to the way the game is played. On top of that AH has been providing smaller story moments to the meta, interspersed with larger moments, really consistently.

The illustrate that last point. There’s currently a small story moment ongoing that adds quite a lot to the game for a minor part. It adds a new planetary biome and alternative enemy that while not entirely new, has very different stats. In fact, I’m still trying to find a good weapons loadout (from all those warbonds) against the much faster bugs because my old go-to’s aren’t cutting it.

I think the main reason Sony backed down from the account linking stuff was the mass of Steam refunds, rather than the reviews.

... there may or may not be some of my copium in there.
At least I cope hope that AH manages to filter out all the noise, because surrounding the genuine problems with the game there is a lot of it.

At least I'm doing my part, with constructive feedback on the latest survey!

This reminds me of Slay the Spire 2 review bombing. An early access game gets review bombed due to balancing changes.

The review bomb with the Sony login stuff was deserved and great that it worked, but it also tells the player base they can get away with pulling that again anytime they want something unfortunately, imo

I've said it since launch the HD2 community is just fucking awful. HD1 community was nothing like this and when they game got popular people tried to force it into a DRG like community, but it doesn't work like that.

I could understand this if it was a recurring battle pass or something, but it's not. If you're bored, play something else until an update.

Or play HD1. No longer updated but the galactic war is fast pace

Yeah this review bomb is way less deserved than the first.

Helldivers 2 players: slow down, take your time, we don't want to see major bugs or rushed balance changes!

Also Helldivers 2 players: there aren't enough updates or progress in the war! Hurry up! Work faster!

🤦

I also prefer slow development. Give people time to play other games like Pragmata, Vampire Crawlers, or finish a run of Baldur's Gate 3.

Sigh. AH literally published a road map people. If you read the document seems obvious the next major event is at the end of the road.

I personally like the slow pace of development, it allows the devs to provide more quality updates rather than quantity

Not really lo-fi, but nice atmospheric music

I had to board an upside down pelican once. It required climbing a supply drop and diving into the door. Lucky Managed Democracy prevailed and the hit box detected me.

Desert Oasis Biome + Illuminate = pyramid being alien constructs (liberated constructs of course)
