You fuckers who are leaving the game on rest mode to not wait in queue after leaving are overcrowding the servers. I want my slice of Democracy as well!

This morning I came from rest mode, and could not see the Daily mission request until I quit/reconnected.
Maybe if i had waited longer in game, it would sync...

I'll be honest, and not blaming anyone, but they are slowly losing me. I got so frustrated yesterday. Half hour login in queue and then when I finally got in, 0 players online and QuickPlay was fucked.
I installed gow Valhalla and started that up. I'll give helldivers 1 or 2 more days, but then I'm out. I only have like an hour or 2 a day to play. Feels like I'm wasting my time.
And rebirth is my next priority.
Congrats to arrowhead on their huge success and the game is fun as fuck. But I'm not gonna waste my time much longer.

Why don't you just come back in a month? The game will get constant updates to make it better in the upcoming years. The idea of quitting on a GAAS game you like because of server issues at launch is very funny to me

I bought 1 month of ps plus for this game.
Feels like a waste of money. I'll come back 1 day on like a free weekend or something.

who hasn't been active here in a while, that I met waaaayyyy back in the day when DayZ was still a mod just gifted this to me. I've been looking at it since it came out, but really couldn't justify the purchase with so many other things being more important. I can't wait to jump in.

I had a few great matches, until the game decided for me that multiplayer was no longer an option.
Man, when this game is cooking, it’s a fucking blast. It just sucks that the issue is on the server side. Which seems like the easiest solution to fix, no? It’s not like there’s anything wrong with the game mechanics.
I do wish they rolled out the orange samples on normal difficulty though. Or gave us an option to use super credits to buy the samples.

I'm not buying another month of plus. Fuck that. The month I bought has been useless.come back a week or 2 later
Gonna try and contact Sony today. Try and get a refund for plus. I'll keep the game.

Or a bonus for completing solo. You ultimately lose out playing solo. You don’t get the extra xp for 4 players getting extracted, it takes you longer to complete missions, so you lose out on the xp for mission time left.

Either I'm getting more lucky or things are getting better on the PS5 side. Last two days no real issues getting in, getting rewards, finding other players, etc.
Hit level 20, so many stratagems. Having a blast.

Yea my friends on PS5 got play for a bit. I tried to purchase on PC and couldn't even get the game to load. Thought it was a PC issue but it was the servers. Tried again this morning and it loaded in no problem. I'm going to refund it and just come back later on when they get it fixed.

Finally sit down to really give this game a go and quickplay just isn't working. (On PC btw)

They're going to kill this game. I'm starting to lose interest to be honest.
I'd rather the quick play function be overtly broken. Give me an error or some kind of feedback so I know it's broken at the moment and i'll come back later in the hopes it's fixed through an update.
Just leaving me sitting there for 15 minutes while it endlessly searches is just wrong. The casual player is going to think there's no one playing.

Once I hit level 10 and unlocked the Guard Dog, the game has gotten a lot easier. Having 4 players, all with a guard dog is a must. Shit just goes smoother.

Guard Dogs will kill everyone on the extreme difficulties. The chaos on those missions make them kind of unusable.

I’m just starting “challenging”, it’s hard to get a good group, let alone a team of 4. It’s been days since I’ve been able to get into a room of 4 players and they stay. Something always happens and we lose 1-2.

Does anyone else feel compelled to watch the opening cutscene, at least until the “noooooooooo”?
I do it every time. And puts a smile on my face each time too.

If you like the game why would you leave? I assume you mean refund it?
You could just, ya know, wait patiently. They'll fix it eventually, games not going anywhere.
mayham2199

I think they'll fix it eventually but I'm going to refund it for now. Can't wait. New update today I'll try it and see if it works. Last chance I'll give it. I just have PTSD from when I got Battlfield 4 and it had pauses\lag spikes for like 6 months straight on PS4. By the time they fixed it I was bored with the game. I'll never do that again. I have no problem just coming back later and trying it.

The hype revolving around this is so strange to me when so many people are still having connection issues or have purchased it and haven't even really been able to play. Glad that some are though.
I'm just going to wait until everything is ironed out before biting.

I won't lie, Helldivers 2 being No. 3 in Steam's most-played charts was not on my 2024 bingo card.

Fixes
- Improved the way that we handle platform authentication to avoid things like the black screen issue at startup.
Exact issue I was having last night hopefully I can play tonight.

It seems the biggest bottleneck is at the authentication service. They cannot handle 150K people trying to enter all at once.
edit: I joined 10 min ago, saw the patch announcement and I quit the game to get the patch only to realize I launched it the first when it had been already installed. Long queue ahead I think.

Mixed on steam in a matter of days. I can’t believe the ceo actually advised buying later on. While respectful, it means the capacity issues are far from being resolved.

When can we start criticizing this game?
I know that usually not allowed during a games honeymoon period, but this game has some pretty giant design flaws that I don't see many people talking about.

Seeing all the issues, the mixed reviews on steam and the server cap issues still lingering + matchmaking still seemingly partially broken... it's amazing the game is doing the numbers it is given all the issues. Gameplay I keep seeing, still haven't figured out what separates this from any other extraction shooter besides friendly fire being turned on.

DEMOCRACY has not competitors!!!
Being honest , the Game is simple, fun and has tons of stupid moments....do not know if it Will have legs but at this moment is very cool to play with randoms..
By example it's very funny to see at the distance a team.member being chased by a horde of Bugs. specially the ones That.play Rambo and don't follow the team.

Judging by your threads, yes, you have many issues other people don't have.
