Helldivers 2 is DONE. We all know it.

[McDinglefart]

The recent patch completely killed my interest. It's not just the patch itself; it's the direction the company is taking. I've lost hope that the game will see any meaningful improvements or updates.

I'd rather spend my time on other things while waiting for Space Marine 2.

I just don't believe this game will get any better. The latest mini patch, which once again made things worse, only reinforces that belief.

This isn't going to be the next No Man's Sky. Arrowhead doesn't have the interest or capability to make that kind of turnaround. They don't seem to care about their own game, playtesting their changes, or improving the experience for players.

Instead, they push out updates at the end of the week and leave players to deal with the fallout while they go on vacation. They even released a major patch just before taking a long break! Who does that?

Hello Games faced a tough road but reinvested their sales into improving the game, pushing out updates, and eventually finding success.

What has Arrowhead done? Did they hire any experienced developers to fix the issues? Did they hold anyone accountable, like Alexus, whose decisions contributed to the current mess? Or the community managers who harass players? No, they didn’t.

Where's the accountability?

When there’s no accountability, it’s easy to stop caring about your own game. And that’s exactly how Arrowhead operates.

No accountability, poor performance, and then they gaslight the community.

It’s not going to get any better. Don’t believe their empty promises.

They've already won. They took the money and ran. End of story.

You claim to have no intereset anymore, but you are still taking part in the community.

So you contradict yourself in you very first sentence.

In truth, you just like being toxic.

The community is gaslighting itself into thinking the game is unplayable, when if they'd just learn other weapons they'd find there's other combinations that are just as fun.

All three machine guns, AMR, Autocannon, Grenade Launcher, and so much more can be awesome... if you actually TRY them.

I have you blocked because you were constantly whining - and I haven't been on this forum in months, so like, when are you leaving.

Until they rebalance them too, my go-to weapons were the flamethrower and grenade launcher. That's just my playstyle. Now, with the flamethrower nerfed into uselessness, I'm left with the grenade launcher. It's great for now, but we all know the supply pack nerfs are coming, which will significantly weaken the grenade launcher as well.

We've been through so many phases of this that it's almost expected at this point.

I’m not a fan of autocannons, machine guns, or rifles, so for me, the game has only gotten worse since release. The other options I enjoy, like the EAT, are never rebalanced to make them viable.

At this point, it’s clear to me that the developers don’t know what they’re doing. Watching their streams where they struggle to complete difficulty 5 just confirms they don’t play their own game.

More importantly, has the game actually improved in the last six months? They added a few new missions, but more than half of them are either failures, boring, or riddled with bugs—another clear sign that they don’t playtest or even play their own game (remember the Terminid Tower and how players kept falling inside the platform near the console?, or failing mission because the console does not work?).

The new missions feel like they were thrown together with minimal effort. It seems they’re more focused on cranking out reskins with a few tweaks rather than delivering truly new and exciting content.

And you're part of the problem of not holding these devs accountable. Then they deliver you a ♥♥♥♥ pie and you eat that ♥♥♥♥ pie.

Congratulations! You're a ♥♥♥♥ pie eater!

Ah yes I forgot, hello games fixed no mans sky within 6 months of it launching.

They definitely did not make it worse to play.

Just endless nerf complaints. Skill issue gamers everywhere.

Granted the flamethrower change was just legtitimately bad and they've admitted to it and they're working on it. I used to love it and it's F-tier now.

However I don't come to forums to complain that the game is dead for it, because rather than being a tree hard-rooted in a 2 weapon meta I'm constantly cycling weapons and the game is a lot of fun because of it. My favorite bugside is to take machinegun and when someone has a spear, ask them to call down the weapon again when it's off cooldown. Get the ammo pack and start teamloading their spear. Tons of fun doing this.

You won't be missed.

Kudos to McDinglefart for gathering up the entire Arrowhead Defense Force in one thread.

[SexualChocolate]

Usually hate these posts but TBH I lost interest with the update too. Yet again they didn't listen. Again they broke their promise to stop "balancing" things into oblivion. I can't be bothered adapting to yet another new set of rules anymore. Each time they nerf a fun toy I find another one and sure enough they nerf that one in the next update. Every time we find a method to actually FIGHT the enemy instead of sprinting away for 40 min rounds the devs nerf that method. They have admitted in the past that they just look at weapon usage, assume popular means OP and bring out the nerf hammer. While doing this they have continuously failed to fix bugs that we've had for months and even introduced some new ones. Each time they buff an enemy they nerf the helldivers. It's an absolute joke. Can you still win matches? Yes. Is it fun? No.

This stems from the simple fact that instead of catering to the millions upon millions of casuals who just enjoy blowing stuff up and shooting bugs/bots they catered to the loud minority of selfish sweats who need everything to be Dark Souls difficult. Except these devs aren't smart enough to do that so all they've done is increase frustration and annoyance rather than increasing challenge. So the millions of casuals are all but gone because it sucks to log on for your few spare gaming hours per week to find that all the gear you used is no longer effective, you still get ragdolled by the bots, still get shot through rocks, still get slowed when a bile titan pukes in your general direction, can't place a turret on a rock because the devs hate you being clever etc etc etc. Could go on but you get the picture.

They took absolute gold and turned it to crap. I played almost every day since launch until about a week ago and just don't have the strength anymore. I genuinely hope they fix it as the game was great for a while but I doubt they will. They've made promises before and we are still seeing the game go downhill.

no it is unplayable, graphics are terrible considering the only usable graphics setting is absolute lowest (as said in the patch where they are aiming to fix frames issues, and no, my pc isnt bad, before this update i ran at 60 fps max settings)

[AoD_lexandro]

Yet another angst ridden teen trying to force their negativity on other people. If you do not like a game, play something else. People really do not care.

[Chaos]

Yeah.

Maybe all that money at launch was good enough for them and they don't want to do this anymore.
So they tried to kill of the playerbase themselves to put the game on life support as soon as possible so they can go on their next vacation.

[The Roach]

Yeah it's dead. But I got my money's worth during the Creek/Vandalon craziness. I could care less if this game survives at this point.

[Crunchy[Daz]]

Oh its another person that doesn't understand the basics of game design telling developers how to do their jobs. I mean, they're the ones with a succesfull franchise on their hands and you're.......yeah.
