Please TONE down the FOG/MIST on planets!!!
I like the game but DANG are they BORED or something? Almost as if im playing a PS3 title (graphic power wise) don't see much graphics just mist/fog and some objects + enemies. Many planets are riddled with fog and mist just let the PLAYERS decide what weather type they want ie clear or foggy i bet 80% would pick CLEAR so they can enjoy the scenery from a far. It's getting tiredsome the fog....On top of that while i cant see the enemies with a AMR through the fog/mist yet they can see me! With pin point accuracy (automatons) from a mile away. Also front soldiers can typically laser through SOLID mountains with ease.....cover what cover?

Don't mind the fog/mist but if the majority is misty then it becomes an issue maps look bland and boring. This game needs some patches to adress these bugs or balance issues.

Hell nah, I don't want to be able to see 5 metres in front of me while trudging through the mud and oil trying to liberate Bot worlds.

i like how fog changes eveyrhting so drasticly. but even planets that dont have low visibility trait can and often have heavy fog anyway. and its way to frequent. it needs to be much less common. and also affect enemies wich is seemingly doesnt. pair this with that almost every mission is night time. its super annoying never be able to see anything.

I just dislike getting sniped from the fog by a cannon tower or rocket devastator. Also, some weapons feel impossible to aim in first person with the fog. The way it reacts to light just throws me off.

Me personally would get RID of fog - mist completely im just annoyed by it the more i play. However i do know that some like the fog and mist. So...there should be a middle ground. Right now it feels like 80% of the time = DAMN fog/mist!! Or better give the player the option to change weather type! This game man....Game could be so much better. Game right now should have a name change:

FOGDIVERS 2.

Really hope some DEV see this post there are other issues tho:

- Scope on Anti Material Rifle is NOT calibrated properly ie zeroed in trash scope!

- Can't even climb properly even on low rocks....or something the player SHOULD climb on....

- Some MORE variations in scenery would be nice.

- 100% remove the weapon SWAY while being PRONED get RID of this ASAP it shouldn't be there at all! Especially with a weapon that has a BIPOD period!

- Can i place a support stratagem in front of my feet without BOUNCING of 100m away that would be nice to.

Just pointing out the important aspects with CAPS.
Yeah finally a planet with less fog or no fog forgot the name tho the one with pink purple grass it just opened maybe an hour or so....before that only fog and mist. What a refreshing experience for once :)

i love all the smoke/fog. especially on bot levels. the further you run away, the easier it is to disengage the enemy. if you can't see them, they can't see you. i especially love those spore plants you step on the produce a smoke cloud to cover your escape.

Idk I feel like all the people getting rocket sniped across the map through fog disagree

it is annoying that there is a lot of fog but it is fun at the same time the only thing i would say against the fog or the bloom mist you get when you shoot that bullging flower thing is that if i cant see ♥♥♥♥ then the mobs should also not be able to see ♥♥♥♥ we can use smoke to make the ai aim go to ♥♥♥♥ like a trooper from star wars but in the mist or the fog from the that flower i cant see them but they can perfectly hit me huh ?

Spore clouds from the plants work, but the fog doesn't hinder them. They have heat vision.

It's a day and night difference between playing on a fog/mist infested planet and then go to a planet the view that exist out there that are CLEAR it's massive difference. I can see mountain's far ahead more colors more contrast i can see enemies from afar it's just a more enjoyable experience. And whenever i go back to a foggy planet it doesn't feel the same anymore.

I get it some planets are like this emphasis on SOME might be like this but NOT the majority!. Ive played similar games to Helldivers 2 like: Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect Andromeda both multiplayer (4 players coop) and maybe ONE or TWO had to much fog/mist AND you could chose weather type enviroment hazards. Other then that it was fun and enjoyable. Both had clear sight which is CRUCIAL in shooter games. I just hope they TONE it down in the future updates or at least give us the weather option inside the map (as host) leave or join it's up to you. I like the game but the fog and some other issues like "friend request" not working and some other issues are getting to me more and more.

Where is this stated or is this just the community bullshitting people and assuming things that aren't actually true like it usually goes with these types of games?
