Retrieve essential personnel is trash

[OriginalGregory]

These missions are such a load of garbage, way too many enemies. It gives you 15 minutes to complete it but if you're in for longer than 6 minutes there's no chance you're getting anyone else out of there. I'm playing on difficulty 5 and it's still impossible, most other mission types I complete comfortably at 7. It just spams way too many at you and they just sit there mowing down the objective npcs

Helldivers 1 had an ongoing narrative.
We are getting stomped on this one.
Then we get the Mechs and win everything back.

Also, stop crying.

Man the 'we're getting mechs!' is some high grade copium.

That's what voices in the head told you?

oh yeah my bad forgot we aren't allowed to criticise the game

[Kalenath]

Game was easy, people complained.
Game gets hard and requires more than simply running around dropping AOE on everything, people complain.

Oooooooookaaaaaaaaay

I HOPE the game devs have better things to do that surf the drek on these forums. Like fixing crashes and matchmaking.

You're not providing criticism, you're crying because you got curb-stomped by the Terminators.

They regularly wipe the floor with my dead body, and I too expect a kind of polish/rebalance of this particular mission, but you don't see me posting about it on the Steam Forums.

My biggest issue with the mode other than its just not pleasant to play at all and overtuned to hell in back is the lack of information youre given. How much does each win generate towards the goal? how much does each loss generate towards defeat?

plus the post mission rewards arent even worth it. Using easy as an example between normal mission bug planet and the defense. we play easy cause im lvl 8 and my friend is lvl 5 atm.

A friend and I Duo play we take out all the nests, Find the side quest and just go around exploring for about 30 minutes of our 40 minute drop, Make anywhere from 5-10 Samples (On the defense there is 2), Make 2 medals on completion (same as defense) but also have a chance to find medals in the field, Can find super credits and Requisitions in the field, Exp at the end is about 300 on easy (max ive gotten in defense is 165 also on easy), and the average full completion mission reward is around 1000-1080 credits (in defense mission max ive gotten is about 400)

Theres no point mathematically doing the defense and bashing head against wall to do a overtuned mission like this :/ its just not fun unless your warband is maxed, ship is fully upgraded, and your max level and dont need 90% of the stuff that youre losing out on.

My criticism is that the difficulty is way out of line for this mission type with respect to the others. I have a fine time getting stomped by the terminators when I'm at a higher difficulty, and I have no issue turning the difficulty down. But when I run over every other mission type on hard with ease and then come to this one and don't stand a chance it's very fair criticism that there is a balancing issue there, which I'm obviously not alone in feeling.

And the copium of "the mechs are coming" is a pretty dumb way of addressing this and the wider problems the game has.

The Evac missions are mad hard atm. I think its reasonable to criticize the difficulty spike. Example for me is random groups I have a good success rate on hard and have to jump down to medium to deal with Robot Evac party. Needing to drop difficulty by such a degree to complete objective shows a fault in the dev design of this mission. I think its very patchable and can be improved a bit to be easier.

Missing the point by a landslide. But hey, you do you.

Thank you for understanding my point! I'm okay with things being difficult and I think the 9 difficulties are generally really well done and give something for everyone. Just this one mission type that blows my mind, the worst part about it is that these missions are in EVERY operation.

man the quality of helldiver recruitment has gone really down on this campaign, almost none can handle pressure situations without crying to mommy
