Why did they ruin the game....

[Ninja Ninja]

Since the nerf update the game feels ruined to me and perhaps a lot of you to as well. It seems since they took away the only fun effective tools to play the game with its just turned into a running away sim waiting for cool downs on bombs that bug out half the time and don't work... I have no idea why they didn't buff other weps since that is what needed to happen and perhaps fix the bugs in the game. It just feels like a trash game now and if this was the first thought they had i dont see much hope for any improvement.

I played a lot of the first game and although i saw other players run different gear my meta for bugs was jetpack or shield with rumbler and breaker with nukes. It meant that we could deal with any situation but also that we would have to be smart about it. sometimes having to run away and nuke the screen but we could hold area off for objectives...

They just messed this game up with that update ... having to run away and if you die you dropped what you need and have nothing to attack with plus the cool downs are way to long... its just wait around running away instead of what it should be a tense skilled battle. Using stuff to control and fight.

No more fun!!!

The game has always been balance bad, even before the nerfs. Now, it is just worse.

Game needs a ton of help, I can see why the first game was a failure.

Just switch it to unsafe mode, charge it for 3 secs (~90%) and boom ! Consistently kill Bile Titans with 2 headshots, sometimes even 1 (when they are spitting). Chargers are a little harder, you need 3 shots to put them down. Anyways, not a big difference from what it used to be pre-patch.

Some of you are such drama Queens they didn't ruin anything it's the very first balance patch for this game and you're crying acting like it's never gonna get better grow up

Played the game today and had fun. Doesn't seem ruined to me.

More importantly this ain't competitive player-vs-player game.

I never had a problem with railgun.

I think it's silly that you can hit something in armor 15 times with autocannon and nothing happens.

It shouldn't be binary like that. Enough hits should penetrate at some point.

Penetration should be increased effectiveness, not a complete necessity.

you must be extremely bad at the game, which wouldn't be a problem normally but don't chime in on matters of balance if you don't play on the higher difficulties. The game's difficulty turned from tough yet fair to extremely cheap, with mobs getting steroid buffs to everything from damage to spawn rate, health, accuracy, and aggro range. Patrols spawn infinitely and you are stuck in a perpetual chain of aggro, the weapons are now worse so you cannot reliably deal with some enemies, and it overall feels like it s a lot more out of your control. The number of times I've gotten blindsided by a patrol 200 meters away and oneshot by a random devastator volley is nothing short of cringe, the game went from solo helldive 100% completion if you play extremely well, which was very rewarding to do, to barely finishing a difficulty 6 mission with a friend. The added difficulty is very cheap, the change is garbage, and the game feels worse as a consequence. The nerf was absolutely not minimal, just not entirely documented

Nope im sticking to what i said, this game has been fail after fail since launch. i want this game to be good since i paid for it but it seems everything they do is a fail. Still loads of crashes bugs and other issues.. I dont care to much about the railgun or what they decide with a patch but it would be nice if the shots hit before the patch you could do a bile in 3 shots or waste 20 shots before it goes down.. an anti cheat that people dont like yet still i joined a game yesterday with a chinese guy and he had an APC and Wall with a turret on it so look forward to those soon i guess... I see comments not being allowed now. the devs cant deal with the feedback. It was fun at the start and if people used railgun or whatever they choose its because they liked that play style. If the devs dont want to listen to the people and really fix the game first then watch it all fall apart. It was good before when there were tons of biles and chargers and you could kill them but now you cant and most people dont really bother its just a hoard mess with no solution but run away and wait about for a 500kg that then bugs out and doesnt kill anything right next to it...

blah blah blah cope yapping uhhh you arent complaining so you must be playing on low diff!!!! devs making fun of yall was on point

i play exclusively diff9, both bots and bugs, win majority of the matches
railgun is almost identical pre and after nerf just set it to unsafe mode
people still easily make it though diff9, devs even provided the success statistics, so its just a massive skill issue on your part

Dont play highest difficulties if you are a noob, those are ment for the top players not every random joe, play on the difficulty that is the most fun for you, there is no grind to chase

Except i literally said i mostly play solo helldive difficulty and try to 100% the map, which is now absolutely impossible because of the rng patrol spawn locations. The part that boggles the mind most is that there s no way you dont see the change after the patch, enemy intensity is much higher than it was, their stats got buffed across the board, and if you cant see that you werent contributing to your team anyway, hard to see that the hunter hordes are inescapable when you re running aimlessly and your friends are clearing for you, try playing solo and we ll talk later

This game is hot garbage. Only the hardcore meta players are enjoying it. They are the same people who ruin other games with their "git gud" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. This isn't suppose to be a Dark Souls game, its suppose to be a casual co op. Helldivers is literately the whole reason we have Helldivers 2. They have ruined their small time company Game, with "OMG WE ARE POPULAR LETS ACT LIKE ACTIVISION" mentality, which is now ruining their game because it doesn't balance accordingly because of GAME DESIGN. The whole point of unlocking higher level stratagems is to make the game easier so you can do more. Now its becoming impossible to play UNLESS you have 100hrs in before becoming level 1. The artificial difficulty is and always will be bad design. So don't mind the dumb asses defending the new patch, they are the same people using cheats in video games and then saying people suck at the game.
