We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Ya, the timing on it works so well. If you do a quick juke or dive, the charge time on the Quasar is like exactly how long it takes the Charger to turn around and put its head down to charge again. It's so satisfying.
Or when they're coming straight at you and you hold your ground and do a backwards dive to get the headshot off at the last second before it rams you. So good.
Holy shit the comedic framing is so perfect this feels scripted.
I am dead.
I do love that stuff like this is synced for every player. The first time I saw a Titan fly into the air the whole squad lost their shit.
Man that must be a bummer. I only had 1 crash in 80 hours of play and I felt so defeated, cannot imagine this happening more often.
Yes, just now. Bugs and bots are attacking. We have to successfully defend 10 planets. I think I saw 3 current planets being defended.
10 defenses in 5 days. Gonna be a close one for sure. And there's currently 5 actually, 2 on the Terminid front (Oshaune and Estanu) and 3 on the Automaton front (Lesath, Marfark and Charon Prime).
Wait, we're less than 10% from capturing Martale on the Automaton front. Do we know what happens to Charon Prime if we do that? I don't think we've ever successfully cut off an enemy advance like that. I assume the defend mission will continue anyway, but it would be kinda cool if capturing Martale means we also instantly complete Charon Prime.
people speculate that if we cut off martale we get a succesful planet defense
Curious to see how coordinated the community can be while defending both fronts. Sounds like we're expecting to lose some territory with this MO.
Iirc the problem is arrow head only has 1 dev team and they can only work on either bug fixes or new warbond.
I know, they cant do both and it shows, but they have to do both. I guess things will get better when they have more manpower
Except...the ceo has stated their not hiring more people. >__>
this is what he had to say 2 days ago
Nice, wish they had time to add DLSS too and crossprogression. Maybe later...
crossprogression is coming at some point in the future, this was said by the CEO during the first weeks of release
DLSS they also want to do but that's in the stars cause it is "not trivial"
Run lean and overwork current employees or staff up now just to have layoffs once revenue slows down.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Yeah we always fail these defense MOs when there are multiple going on. The community ends up too spread out. Guessing we might defend 5 planets by the time it's done.
I believe the last time they tried this on a bug planet, it did not work.
Also they really really gotta stop doing these in discord. Not everyone is on it.
Do something in game, an animation or something, like when the automatons proceeded with the Reclaimation plan
"Co-Ordination is critical"
*Game has no actual methods of co-ordination and expects everyone to be clued in to what's going on in a reddit/discord cesspit*
I know they expected the community to be way smaller than it is but there really should be something in-game, maybe a way to vote in game, that gets refreshed each day and whatever is currently winning the vote gives bonus XP on missions or something.

they have been putting all of these into the game as dispatches, this specific one is less of an "in universe" thing and more of a "let's give the community a tip" one
It's a shame that Martale has turned into a stalemate and will likely turn into the Automatons gaining ground at any moment. Really wanted to see if capturing that would indeed lead to us automatically defending Charon Prime.from the CM on discord:
Just started playing, level 4 atm but I'm getting my ass kicked by this game, thank god for some of the level 30+ that have been joining my missions!
BTW what should I do with medals? Should I focus on anything in particular?

You'll get them at a pretty regular pace thanks to the major orders so just aim for what looks interesting. Plenty of viable weapons in the free warbond.
That's great and hopefully in the future this will happen automatically.
Spitz has been giving a LOT of info about the galactic war and things directly from Joel today, very interesting stuff
I recommend focusing on the Helldivers Mobilize Warbond at first, that's the free one. Items in it are a lot cheaper for the first few pages so you'll get more stuff faster, and the items are just as good as the ones in the paid Warbonds and considered "meta". The Redeemer auto-pistol, Punisher shotgun, Defender SMG, and Liberator Penetrator assault rifle are all great guns in that Warbond. The Infiltrator Scout armour is a great armour that you get access to early in there as well.

Speedy software fixes are not something that can be resolved by throwing people at a problem. My understanding is that it takes months and even up to a year before new trainees are contributing as much to the work output as the experienced employees. Plus Arrowhead made Helldivers on a discontinued game engine, so new hires are likely coming in with almost zero knowledge of how to work with it
I love the Punisher. It's not the best at killing stuff, but its stopping power has saved me and my teammates so many times. Spewer about to one-shot me? Nope, stunlock its head until I can make some distance..

Is there an easy way to get samples faster? Even scanvenging a ton I only get like 3-5 per match
Higher difficulties is the obvious one. One other way would be to play those defense missions where you have to escort the scientists, have 3 players do that while the 4th runs around the map picking up Samples.
Earlier today I got stunlocked by a punching robot with literally no way to get up until I died LMAO
Use the rock for cover in the future.
Bots = cover shooter
Bugs = don't stop moving and run and gun
That's Helldive for you. Since the last update, factory striders spawn at increased rates and get placed frequently in drops. Other than falling back into cover and then cleaning things up, there is not much you can do.
The combat system in this game has some basic rules. If you aggro the bots or get a bug breach (in game caused by the pheramones), your best bet is to stay in the current area and wipe the drop/breach instead of running into a new "zone" of combat and then spreading the aggro.
With bugs, as long as you didn't cause the breach and get the pheramones on you, then you can run and get out of combat again (especially with the stealth suit). With the bots, you really are best suited by cleaning up after every encounter; but, if your group is coordinated enough to not spread into more combat - you can run, just not as easily.
It's amusing to go into random groups against the bots and see them throw and airstrike on a base and leave a couple bots up and then see either them continually shooting at you from miles away or calling in drops. Another thing that most don't understand when approaching combat is to start combat on a heavy instead of one of the handful of bots/bugs that can acutally call for reinforcements. The small guys for the most part should be the first things you focus fire on.
