Three months ago, I edited and posted this on a sub I created for the game, based around critiques and venting, and I never posted it here because I was convinced the mods would remove it, but I've decided to give it a shot.

Start of the clip is around 2:19:00

Sorry if the quality is a bit low, I made it below 10 MB so I could post it to my friend on Discord.

I came back into the game recently after two years and decided to try a new hero. Started with Valkyrie, then I discovered Centurion.

I have clips of better fights and combos but this is what I got clipped atm

It's fucking glorious. Good job everyone who pitched in. Democracy at its finest.

Tonight we celebrate, for we have made our voices heard.

Good job everyone who contributed.

The people have voted. Let us experience Hive Guards worthy of their name, don't make them just another chaff unit.

If you want them to have heavy armour, you ought to make their size and spawn rate match.

1: Turret users would have an easier time taking out fewer of them, as their weak spots increase in size alongside their physical size increase and decreased spawnrate.

2: Medium Pen users would also have an easier time taking them out as their weak spots between their face and legs would increase in height, and be roughly the same as the head height of the warrior bugs.

3: And if possible, make them care about defending their fellow bugs and the bug holes.

We are not against making "Hive Guards" feeling like Guardians of the Hive. We are against a sweeping armour change with nothing to show for it such as increasing their size & decreasing spawnrates.

And please.. for the love of democracy.. open up some kind of beta-testing server if you're able to. You absolutely should have people test these changes before putting them onto the live game where all the casual players will encounter them.

I don't want this game to suffer. I don't want the most unique horde shooter I have ever played to become worse or less unique.

Making the Warstrider leg joints medium pen is a very good example of a positive change. But I and a great many others absolutely want you to test or allow us to test these changes before it hits the wider game.

I love this game and I sorely want to return to playing it again. I truly feel I don't need anything else in my Steam Library. It is the most unique game I have played since Bungie's Halo. It is the game that I wish a 2nd ODST game would have been.

With that said, I continue to hope for the future. I'm not willing to give up on Helldivers. Despite the jank, despite the invisible corpses, despite the peer 2 peer network that causes desync issues. You managed to create something amazing, and it hurts to watch it suffer due to sweeping changes that aren't tested properly. And it hurts even more to see how that splits the community every time.

I don't claim to speak for everyone. But when Low Sodium, Unfiltered & the Main Sub all upvoted this idea, and even turret users were onboard, I think the idea is worth a shot.

Anyway, I'll stop here to save the wall of text being too large.

Peace.

This is for anyone coming to the sub who's unsure of what the term means. This post is going to be permanently pinned on the sub. You're welcome to discuss in the comments, though please make sure to follow the sub rules.

If you're curious about the other terms for different kinds of divers, see the user flair and post guide, as that contains descriptions of every kind of diver that you'll tend to see in this sub.
