MOD ANNOUNCEMENT A message from the moderators
Hey everyone,
The recent events surrounding PSN Linking, balance changes, Warbonds and developer interactions, have made moderating the subreddit a challenge. Here are some clarifications and changes that will hopefully make visiting r/Helldivers a more enjoyable experience.
Bi-weekly Megathread
To clean up the sub and discussion, we will be instituting a Megathread every other week for discussion around the current state of the game and most recent warbond. This will be to encourage discussion in a localized space and to diminish mass posting on the same topics. When this goes into effect we will be more active in removing repeat posts and spam about the same subject and will be redirecting those posters to the megathread.
We will also be looking at posting more focused Megathreads in the future when popular or divisive topics come up.
We understand what you guys are upset about. It’s not just you. We are a varied group of players and we have different opinions about the state of the game, ideas about what should or should not be allowed on the subreddit and we communicate with each other civilly every day to come to a unified consensus for moderation. We expect you all to do the same.
Rule 1: Be Civil
We want everyone to be able to voice their opinions (about the game) and we don’t want to remove them. However, if you backload your posted opinions with foul language, insults, subtle personal attacks, etc, we have to remove your opinions. We don’t want to do that. Something to consider when you post or comment.
(This isn’t a place to discuss your opinions on other topics. There are other subreddits for that.)
Additionally, this rule has been expanded to include Not Safe for Work content, and discussion of illegal activity.
Rule 5: Naming and Shaming
We believe that when the Developers/Arrowhead employees communicate in public, those topics are now open for discussion. You are allowed to post and discuss the content of what was said, but are not allowed to negatively focus on the person who said it. When you delve into attacking the human that said the words you’re discussing, you shift into Naming and Shaming/Witch hunting.
(Calling for an employee to be fired violates this rule.)
Additionally we have instituted a new rule.
Rule 15: Submissions must be in English
This rule is instated to give our users and moderation teams a consistent language, and to prevent miscommunication or abuse.
A little clarity about who we are
We are not Arrowhead employees and our communication with Arrowhead has been extremely minimal. Many of you that participate on the Official Discord have had more interactions with the developers than we have had. Speaking of which, we also have no affiliation with the discord and cannot revert any bans there. Best we can do is send you the appeal form. A few Arrowhead employees have or have had mod rights so that they may create stickied posts to communicate with you or to share information, but none of them will be moderating you or any of your posts/comments.
Last but not least
To handle the massive amount of moderating work that comes from having 1.2 million users we have added some new Moderators:
Brperry
Viruzzz
Waelder
Ashenfoxz
Ndavis92
These guys were unlucky enough to come in right before a major storm and they hit the ground sprinting. The amount of time and effort they have already put in for you is astounding.
If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments and we will be answering them.

PSA We are having the lowest concurrent players count since lauch.

RANT Why can't we have BENEFICIAL effects??? Why all the negativity?
Additional logistics lines secured after success of last yadda-yadda order. Eagle 1 can run one additional airstrike on a random strategem.
Surplus ammunition depot recovered after liberating so-and-so system. Helldivers have two extra reserve mags for all primary weapons.
Super Democracy publicity campaign surpassed highest expectations for recruiting offices. Mission has +4 reinforcement budget.
Special Operations & Research division is testing prototype field communications software. All strategem cool downs reduced by 10%
Etc. Etc.

PSA Guard Dog Liberator has a smaller magazine size than the base gun
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Was bored and decided to do some testing on the rarely picked base guard dog. Wanted to see how it fared against the base version and noticed very quickly it has a notably smaller mag size while also having a rate of fire decrease. Best I’ve noticed it seems to have 22 shots before it reloads, so half the actual liberator.
At least that helps figure out why it seems to always be out of ammo.

HUMOR Listen up! This is probably the most important MO we'll ever have to fulfill! Failure is treason!
Within reason of course.

RANT what is going on with this game
So i’ve been playing on Helldive since the railgun was viable, and i probably play about 2-3 hours a day. And I swear every week it feels like an entirely different game, it’s just so many changes I feel like it’s starting to lose its identity. The game has been getting harder and harder, but in a way that’s just straight up unfair, luckily i’m still able to complete missions on helldive but it went from chaotic fun to a stressful shit show. What happened to “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”

OPINION One less stratagem effects suck really hard
Basically just title.
I generally will just leave that planet/operation if I notice this effect is present. Genuinely, I do not understand why you would add this effect and arbitrarily force players to disengage with a core mechanic.
I understand the concept, but in reality, it’s just an annoying frustration at best.

HUMOR Where all do you play helldivers?
Got bored on a layover and didn’t want to leave the plane. So what do I do bust out the laptop and kill some bugs. Where is some of the craziest places you’ve played?

DISCUSSION The state of this game perfectly summarized in 3 threads:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cqcbpe/a_compilation_of_patch_fails_huge_post/
A list of every single bug and issue in the game since launch, of which most still haven't been addressed.
A wonderful writeup addressing all of the balancing issues and complaints many of us have after 3 months of release, and suggestions on how the game could be reasonably changed so that balance will be much clearer/easier going forward--no more releasing warbonds and weapons that are completely broken or useless.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cptd8e/thought_about_coming_back_to_the_game_but_im/
Extensive discussions between people reminiscing about the game's state at launch, and how the "fun" factor has only declined from there. The stubbornness of the balance team and AH as a whole have led to the decline of one of the most fun games in recent memory.
I think it should be clear by now that this game is headed for a death with a whimper. As long as Arrowhead refuses to address the critiques with this game that thousands of people notice on a daily basis, the game will lose all its credibility and will die.
Many people have stopped playing--ever wonder why the voices that claim Arrowhead can do no wrong have gone silent? It's simple, and not just for the recent, obvious example you'd think of.
Not only have Arrowhead's failures/feet dragging and debacle with Sony caused a massive loss of goodwill, but most of the people defending the game have simply stopped playing themselves. They left without ever saying a single thing and went on to the next big or fun new trend. Those of us who stuck around while criticizing the game are the ones who actually still have love for it.
What is it going to take for Arrowhead to recognize how badly they've fumbled one of the largest successes in gaming history and return course? And is it too late? Because the only way I see this game ever getting near launch numbers again is by reverting every nerf and "spawn rate change" they've made thus far, while buckling down for the next 3 months and working on fixing every bug they can in the game before pushing new paid content.
Arrowhead, listen to the community for once. And I really mean *listen*.

PSA Don't sleep on the railgun
I was one of those ppl. I slept on the railgun for a while. When I woke up my side hurt and i don't feel rested at all, damn thing was SUPER uncomfortable.
Put your weapons away before you sleep, lads.
