Just an appreciation post of the devs of Space Engineers 2. They are developing the 2nd game and constantly releasing these tidbits from the developers, showcasing the things they're working on.
This is how you show the community how active you are, Arrowhead. Not that I expected you to care.
The new emoji is called "PrayDiver"
It represents times of highest hope, such as Arrowhead releasing an optimization patch with a compilation of feedback posts from the main sub.
working hard or hardly working? you can be the judge of that.
Do you think you directly represent the undelivered wishes of the entire playerbase? If so, what proves this? For example - you could advocate for mech customization ASAP because you believe everyone wants mech customization more than anything else - but what exactly makes you think that's really what the playerbase wants priotized? Sure, everyone would like it, but what research/data makes you think that's actually a priority for a vast majority of players?
Or do you think the playerbase at large doesn't know what's good for the game nor what they really want, they just play it in whatever state it is in and YOU know what they need better than they do?
Why Galactic War has to be so boring and scripted? I understand (a little bit) that Narrowhead has plans on content release and need to push the story to have this content released BUT some shit they pull off is cringe AF and completely unnecessary.
- Lets start off with obvious "SEAF reinforcments" bs.. Its always convenient (or inconvenient) where it needs to be. SEAF is nowhere to be seen both in-game and specially in GW, Helldivers feel like the only force in Super Earth's arsenal. Besides blue idiots in city maps, that do nothing but shoot you in the back and die instantly, there is NOTHING - SEAF simply does not exist, dont do any fights, and are absolutely useless. Yesterday, when i was looking at the map we had ETA 20 hours to take Meissa, with only 14ish hours for MO. Now i check after waking up and the ETA is less than 3 hours with 4 hours still left in MO (perfect to finish this MO, how convenient).
- The 1 to 1 trades of planets. Its pissing the shit out of me when it happens and now it happenes currently TWICE. Helldivers took Vernen Wells before the MO (for free) and yesterday took Terrek, thanks to 10k bugdivers. Again, today i look over and both planets are suddenly UNDER ATTACK.. JOEL wouldnt allow players to get Menkent for free, nooo suddenly, Automatons woke up and do shit again. It happened with the new bioms MO too- Bug divers got like 2 planets for free, and then when 3 new planets suddenly appear out of nowhere, bug spores expolde in entire Orion sector. Its fucking stupid, since bugs cannot fully control what and when they attack, if the spores were close to expanding, they should attack a lot earlier, i fucking hate it man.
- The inactvity on the front. Its a war, especially Automatons and Illuminate should constantly shift their forces to reinforce crucial planets, in cost of other planets having less resistance. They should attack planets even if MO is not about them and thats why SEAF should be present in GW to help prevent those attacks, allowing smaller Helldiver groups to actually have impact in defending those planets. SEAF should also launch attacks themselves. Here are some bullshit that i noticed and annoys me personally: Aesir Pass got 3% resistance, after introduction of Commando Missions. To this day this number did not change AT ALL- it does not make sense for it to be so high, specially with Vernen Wells being next to it, which had (if i remember correctly) around 0.6% resistance. When we still had Mox in our control, we had connection both to Vega Bay and Wezen- Vega Bay has only 0.33% resistance, while Wezen has insane 1.5% resistance. Wezen has only 2 connections the only planet under Automaton control being Vega Bay - it does not make ANY strategic sense. There are lot more similar BS that happened over the months.
Here is also little suggestion- each faction should have its own type of resistance and pattern of how they attack: Automatons - they can attack only the planets that are connected to each other, their attacks being BIG and defenses STRONG (since they are more defensive faction). Illuminate - they should be able to attack any planet in close proxy of their territory, with these attacks being frequent and small BUT their defenses and resistance being really shitty and low. Terminids - bc of their feral nature, every planet in their sector should be in threat of an attack, bc of the traveling spores, and i think it would make sense that the longer the attack goes for, the bigger the assault is, allowing the Helldivers to contain the infestation before it spreads out more. Bugs should have mixed defenses, both low and high, due to their nature.
That's it, thats the rant. I want to hear your opinions on this take.
these guys are talking about CGW btw, just- completely fucking lying, the second one's satire, the first one? come on, do we have to make shit up?
When glazers cry and lick their boots just show them this. They were always like this, they just became lowkey with it.
I was just chilling playing DRG when I came across this video by youtuber Ratatoskr, titled, "Why Is There Constant Conflict In The Helldivers 2 Community." I think it explains very well the reasoning behind why AH acts the way it does, with the monkey's paw style patches, the lies, and the broken promises.
He brought up how in the early days of helldivers 2, when the devs and moderators can act without any restraint, when they were actively fighting the community without any of the fancy PR wording. This is like during the first major railgun nerf days. We got Evil-Bosse, who acknowledges that HR wouldn't like his way of mocking the player base (customers) but did it anyway. We got moderators that banning players for not liking his furry art. This is who AH really is deep down, this is the unfiltered version of AH.
These types of people are the same people that are still at AH, they are just more "under controlled" by Sony, who is now their boss and doesn't like massive backlashes from players. The devs have always hated the player base for not going along with their vision of the game, the so-called "grunt fantasy". This is why the devs promise to not nerf the coyote but did it still in a roundabout way. This is why the devs hide all the undocumented changes. This is why the devs are actively lying to the community and not fulfilling the promises made almost 2 years ago. Sony is breathing down their neck, that's why they did the 60 day patch. AH can't do any of these shenanigans openly anymore, so they resort to these petty tactics. They have always been this same narrow minded bunch.
I really wonder what the near future holds for Helldivers with the constant spam and review bomb. Nothing? Something? Hopefully something good.
I don't really engage with the community unless for commisarkai, all this review bombing was about the lack of transparency of AH ,lack of progression or the Ap4 nest guard?
