Helldive sucks to play

[Irier]

putting the weapon nerfs and buffs aside.
This isnt a get gud game either.

Bug mission run like hell from 6-20 spitters that are bullet sponges, 2-4 bile titans always up.

Robot mission insane drop down and a lot of heavy enemies at each base. With the fog you cant see them but they can shoot you from all directions half way across the map.

Before you say just stealth more, you get bugs spawned on top of you, with patrols you can:t avoid. Even if you try to go stealth it stops being a team game becuase you can no longer support your team and fight back a breach you just collectivly run in different directions.

If this is the maso game play the devs want put it into a mod version like vermintide for the 1% of players that love running for 40 minutes and are not "brainless".

even taking a break and trying it again, robots will one shot you accross the map and follow you endlessly even crouching and crawling this game is just stupid, only choices lower the difficulty or play a more fun game.

the devs mention they will tweak spawn rates and armor values later... stop flooding the forum with complaints

I stealthed away from a patrol that had 1 bot psychically know my gps coordinates. Sneaking around a rock while it tried to get to my last (un)known position. and eventually it gave up and rejoined its squad that was now over halfway across the map. Then a patroll teleported onto my exact position and insta deleted me.
Good game.

Effectively you have as a democratic team 16-24 grenades to deal with that many spitters, SG8 requires bout 4 headshots close range to kill one.

Then theres turrets, rockets and many other tools to deal with it.

Gotta wait till they fix the spawns right now its tedious but still doable

thats the problem i have a feeling some of the devs want tedious to be the new difficulty standard even after they "fix the spawns"

Agree, turn down the difficulty and wait for patches/changes, the game is still new with lots to come. The devs are allready under pressure as the amount of players flooding servers was way beyond their expectations.

Devs probably are going to start saying it's meant to suck like the weapons

Wish I could say the same but, at least we have a perfect example of human nature at play here. Well, more of the understandable kind but, same time it is going to the direction of, 'They already know, they are already working on it.' Coding is not at all that easy as many would guess. While I have done very little amount of it, I most certainly understand that...

That's pretty tough job when the coding just piles on, piles on and piles on.

Dev already acknowledge spawn issue and are working to fix it.

How about in the meantime you pick from the other 8 difficulties in the game that suits you better?

All the people playing it right now are what? Superhuman? Robots?

Difficult 7: Suicide Mission. Connotation: winnable, but very hard. you will likely die.

Difficulty 8: Impossible. Connotation: the odds are so against you its unfair.

Difficulty 9: Helldive. Connotation: read the last 2 and extrapolate

Helldive is SUPPOSED to suck. its supposed to be unfair and torturous. its in the name as well as the game design. youre not supposed to drop in lvl 9 every time, and if you do you should expect to struggle for that win every time. you should even expect to *GAPS* fail a fair amount of missions. heldive is hard. REALLY hard. if its every not, its not balanced right

- Spitters are not bullet sponges, have a weapon that can pierce their carapace and aim for the head, or use explosives and target their bloated bodies, a couple of grenades can blow dozens of them. Meanwhile titans are most dangerous when there aren't too many of them, you can often get them all to kill themselves just by moving closer and allowing them to spit on you, they will kill each other with the friendly fire, and their falling bodies often kill the remaining survivor(s) too.

But yeah, the difficulty literally says Helldive, if anything it's not spawning enough crap to be worthy if it's name.
