Ridiculous Major Orders

[Temp950]

Who the hell comes up with these major order goals? On average lets say there are about a 100 000 people playing this game, and we have 3 000 000 000 enemies killed as a goal.

That requires each person to kill 30k enemies by themselves in 5 days? In most missions the total killed is somewhere near 200 or so in half an hour, so each person needs to complete over a thousand missions in those five days.... And this is following a failed major order for 2 billion in five days. Either the people making these are incapable or too lazy to calculate whether this is feasible or they intentionally want us to fail. Either way when you get major orders like this, its just pointless to even bother trying.

would be possible if they stopped reducing weapons to peashooters lol

A few weeks ago the helldivers killed 2.000.000.000 in less then a day.

It was bugged though.

They intentionally want divers to send out the SOS beam to the internet.

There was a potential issue in how the kills are counted then to, admittedly no one has confirmed it buy it was suspected the party total kill was accidentally being multiple by 4 so a team gets 1000 kills and has 4 players it would submit 1000 per person for 4000 total, I had read about it being potentially buggy in that order anyway. I would say on some bug missions though it wasn't hard to come out with one person alone having 1000 kills depending on how swarmy it got bots I rarely have the same amount of kills.

I like it: Engage all patrols, force all bot drops and bug breeches and let loose freedoms' ring! Time to bring your MGs, HMG emcampments, AMR, Autocannons and other weapons that maximizes as much kills as possible.

It's all part of the AH's amazing emergent story telling and crazy dungeon master abilities.

You just can't see it is all cos theyre intellectual giants.

A poor craftsman blames their tools.

It is doable, but not organically. By that I mean that you would need to do quick eradication or defend missions where enemies spawn non stop and once you have done with that particular mission in 3 mission set you just abandon it and go for next one with preferred mission type again. It might just be that this major order is setup to fail as well. You never know what they are cooking behind scenes and what adjustments can happen.

[Tedious Maximus]

you're assuming the 100,000 online are always the same people, math is off

you would need the number of unique logins over the time of the major order divided by the amount of kills required i think - I'm not a mathematician though

It's 100k people online at once
Do you really think there's only 100k playing it throughout the whole day w/o logging out?

Would be possible if teammates didn't call the extraction too soon.

How many bugs we killed has become a meme, but sadly it was all a lie.
