Are we ever getting a proper galactic war?

[Dootslayer]

Or we will be stuck with this "ever evolving story"?

Would be nice if Arrowhead was done with their story and we could go back to helldivers 1 when it lasts roughly a month and we either win or lose , after that it resets.

If we win, we could get new cosmetics, etc.

In a word - no. In a longer word - nope. Arrowhead have repeatedly said so.

Where did they announce it? I'd guess their discord.
Anyway, that's a bummer , a big one but thanks for clearing it up

How does that work?

I prefer HD1 style GW as well but I don't think we'll ever get it back. We'll be stick with this silly scripted "story" that is annoying and has a rigged feeling to it.

I just dive where I want, major orders are a pointless non-event.

I'm just more annoyed that Arrowhead thinks their story is good or interesting over the huge innovation of Helldivers 1.

It was among the few games that really had 100% player control. That's rare.

Read or watch any interview the CEO, devs or CCO have done about the game and the Galactic War.

No they have stated in interviews that this war will go on forever and there will never be a reset. That they have planned a storyline for the game for at least 4-5 years. That this game will not be like HD1 and just be a map painting simulator that kept resetting.

So like it or hate it, that's what we got and it's not going to change

Yeah, it's sad, HD 1 GW actually did something new, HD 2 GW just apes "scripted community events" from other live services.

Calling it a storyline is rough. Eh not as bad as Darktide getting Den Abett and not using him.
At least in this case they just simply can't make a coherent "story"

Yeah, we got innovation one one hand: The game becoming third person and larger in scale
And we got two steps back with the lazy live service.

But at least it checks out, every second patch or so is also one step forwards two steps back
