Odd they didn't mention this

It's making me a little concerned, since they did not even bother to focus on DLSS either. Hoping PSSR helps push them on both fronts.
I know damned well the community will be hounding them on it.

AH are slow as fuck. If they don’t have a PSSR version running by the 7th I’m going to be very upset. I won’t do anything but I’ll sure clench my fist strongly!
I am ready to ragdoll right into democracy!

Dived back in after a few months. Currently just going anywhere and destroying some terminds, just to shake off the rust.

I saw that and I like the song choice better but I went with the original just for the higher quality video

I'm hoping for a November or December drop. Reportedly, the third faction was playable at release, and we know vehicles are coming due to the hacks.
This game will continue to evolve into something amazing, imo. Arrowhead had a mass hiring spree after launch, due to its success. According to their game director, they also changed their long term roadmap. But, realistically, we are probably at least a year away from seeing the fruits of their long term plans

Was there any word on the vehicle type(s)? I'd love a sort of Navy Seal buggy with a mounted weapon or two, hell even supplies could be great. So much potential, we need C4 esq devices so we can drive and bail into a massive nest haha!

HD2 currently has a higher 24 hour ccu than Space Marine 2 (47k vs 41k) and an all time peak ccu that's nearly 3x that of SM2. Yet one of these is considered to be thriving and the other a dead game. The green rats and pcmr shills on this site will swear they killed it with the power of their weaponized autism via steam reviews, smh

I just started playing again this past week, after about a 3 month hiatus. The game is in a very good state, especially with bots. Weapons all around feel really good, with so many seeming viable compared to before. No longer seeing enemies spawning out of thin air and I'm not getting 1 shot across the map by a Rocket devastator. If a teammate leaves mid game, another player joins 30secs to a min later. Overall, it feels much more fair and balanced
One year from now, I wouldn't be surprised if HD2 is a consistent top 10 game on Steam. There is so much Arrowhead can do to make this game truly special, I think they have only scratched the surface of its longterm potential. It will just take time as they didn't start mass hiring until after the game released
I got over 200hrs played and it is still easily the most "Next Gen" game I have played this generation. No other game comes close to matching the chaos in HD2. Truly an amazing engine they are working with

Warbond is released the 31st, next Thursday
"Liberty Day" is this Saturday the 26th of October. People of Helldivers 2 on reddit are expecting something to drop. Don't know if it's just hopium or something real. But according to Helldiver lore, October 26th is the biggest day of the year

Noticed that the extraction mission now completes without the npcs running to the extraction point. Is that intended or a bug?

They changed it a while back when people complained it was too hard. I thought it was only the 12 minute mission that was overtuned and not the 40 minute mission though

Yeah the one where you escort the npcs. Not the one where you defend the base. This seems newer.

Looks like we're getting the famous "Constitution" rifle and Classic armor from the first
I know everyone wants the Illuminist but it's not the time yet it seems. Honestly they had more important stuff to do I guess. Now that the community seems appeased again, they can focus on the Illuminist. But maybe they wait for the first anniversary of the game.

I played 220 hours, 210 were with random and i had the greatest time.
Trolls are extremely rare in my experience, like i probably had 2 trolls in hundreds of matches.
Now, being killed by your team by mistake is another discussion entirely and you better get used to, especially lately with people loving way too much the napalm barrage strike (i personally used it once and then ever used again because killing stuff with fire is not really satisfying to me, i want the explosions)

About 90%+ of games I played are with friends, but playing with the occasional rando is almost always good. The occasional afk'er, but we kick those right away.

Almost everyone I've randomly matched with was cool, I've played about 200 hours and 99% of that was with randoms. Just stick to the level you're comfortable with and play with randoms on that level. Don't try to match with Helldive missions if you're having trouble on level 6 missions. Other than that it's a blast.

bring shield emplacement and smoke grenades. They're goated on bots. You get so much breathing room to aim and pick off enemies without getting constantly flinched that it's honestly gamechanging (i only play d10 on bots)

There's an armor coming out next week that prevents stun locks when getting hit. It will be amazing vs bots
I only do level 10 bots as well. They are way more fun than bugs, imo. I just find bugs crazy annoying in comparison. Spam shooting small bugs gets to be too much. I enjoy the more strategic nature of combating bots

I find playing bugs to be kiting simulator, it's fun every once in a while but there's just something really satisfying about headshotting the bots that i dont get tired of. Maybe if bugs were less meatbags and had weak points that mattered I'd play them more
coachmcguirk91

Yeah, my opinion is the minority I think. The community used to play bugs a lot more than bots. It seems closer to 50/50 nowadays, which is surely attributed to the bot patches the past few months. They were broken for the longest time

Back up to 76k ccu as of yesterday. Not too shabby for a dead game, eh?

Generally speaking the higher up you go the more competent your teammates will be. On 9/10, there's practically never anyone who doesn't know what they're doing, unless they're a newbie being dragged there by friends as a "welcome to the game" troll
