r/Helldivers

I know this idea has already been discussed by the community, but imagine how amazing it could actually be.

Every time a Helldiver dies, a new one joins the fight, speaking a different language, and could also be a different gender. Each soldier would have their own personality, backstory, and presence, making every reinforcement feel unique.

It would emphasize that every fallen Helldiver matters, and the fight carries on with unique reinforcements.

What do you think?

I must ask what the point of making patch notes is if you are not going to include every change you make in them. Even if you don't want to read through all these changes, just scroll through them to get a sense of just how many there are

Selling samples for super credits:

The conversion rate would probably be super high, 200 commons, 100 rares, or 25 supers for 10 super credits, in order to make micro transactions still competitive, but having another free way to accumulate super credits without driving around a desert planet opening boxes would be great. This also would motivate high level helldivers to collect samples for the lower levels for their ship upgrades.

I know this’ll never happen and some glaze diver will shoot this down with all the reasons why it’s a bad idea, but as more and more warbonds come out and the super store gets more saturated, the mountain of locked content new players have to grind through gets to unreachable heights. Some might buy credits, others will try and grind it out, most will burnout and play something else. It just seems like a reasonable way to collect super credits imo, and my 75 units of super uranium are getting dusty in storage.

I truly truly love this gun. It to me is a multi-tool I rank near the Autocannon. Just an absolute GOAT.

I wanted to do this with the boy tank but I haven’t gotten around to putting them together, so excuse the super earth treason.

I've been away for a month and didn't get the chance to play the Destroy Exospire mission and it's absolutely infuriating that I can't find it on any of the current illuminate planets. New content should be always available and old content like the TCS Tower missions should be brought back. I don't understand why Arrowhead would spend weeks even months on new content and to just get rid of it after a week or two, it's bewildering and such a waste.

did you have a good Easter?

(repost because original post was possibly rule breaking). squid diver here, and I just realized I don’t understand why illuminate are called squids. I know they are named squith, but is that it?is it because they have tentacles on their mouth like the voteless? is there any other resemblance?

As a day one player of helldivers 2 I love the game and the idea behind it but it seems like at every turn we have to fight and claw our way through so many hoops just to get the game to stay enjoyable. Even asking them NOT to change things like the coyote they actively work against community wishes to 1 costing the money and 2 losing player enjoyment and most importantly TRUST. Why is it that we have been smacked in the face over and over by the same people we are actively supporting by buying the game, buying super credits, and so much more, they have been handed an amazing community of people who want to see the game improve not implying they don’t work hard but rather that due to the strength of the original idea of the games core they have drawn a large and passionate audience. So why throw that all away with changes that we specifically don’t ask for. Refusing to listen to community outreach or provide any sort of response that says “we under we hear you” without immediately going back on their word and making a change that goes directly against what we the players ask for? Do I expect the devs too be at the community’s beck and call? No absolutely not, if you have an artistic vision or hell some people just don’t know good game design at all. But when your player base actively shrinks due to REPEATED behavior of dishonesty, lack of respect for community feedback, and even censorship of people’s feedback then please explain how you expect an audience to feel towards you as the developer? Of course people are frustrated. Of course people including my self dropped the game for a while out of feelings of discontent. And yet here I am having picked the game back up and still trying to enjoy it. So why?? And what is with this obsession of a “grunt fantasy” it doesn’t make any sense for the satirical world of the game. Are we supposed to die plenty it’s really easy to fail in your prep for a mission if u don’t know what you’re doing and fail the mission. But when you plan correctly it should feel as though you’ve brought an advantage with you into the field of battle. I know it’s a decisive thing to discuss but not a single one of us purchased this game because we wanted an extremely realistic tactical experience of being a front lines bathetic “grunt” who serves the war machine, which to be clear is a fucking cool idea but that’s not the game you made. You are not ready or not, you are not all quiet on the western front and you will never be. That’s not the game you made, that’s not the setting you created, that is not the community you gathered, so stop pretending to be that when you are sooooo much better at something completely different!

TLDR: why when people love this game so much do those same people have to fight and argue with the dev team at every turn to get what they want despite being loud and clear about changes we as a community want to see?

I’m closing tonight should I just let my coworkers deal with this

I went into this mission alone (don't have warp pack yet) called down my stuff turned around and there it was I literally landed right next to the friendship door and all I got to ask is is this some cruel joke the galaxy is playing on me!?

warbond tomorrow! just a week away! can you believe it?
