Sorry Dhruv, just finishing up for the evening.

Downed a Level 8 Cyborg 3-parter to earn the Railgun Orbital Strike with Liquid_015, iWinOften, and one more I'm forgetting. Level 8 Cyborgs are no joke, but the Recoilless Rifle is civilization!

The first time I called in the APC, it didn't land on the beacon but on a squad mate standing a couple of meters away from it.

You know, super-famicom, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn APC.

I had my revival pod land on 2 teammates who were playing on one console. Felt kinda nice.
 
I can't wait to see the 3rd race... I just finished playing 40 min ago at the end of my lunch hour.

I couldn't believe what happened on my last mission... Shuttle was just arriving, and I died, but I was solo so I had at least one auto revive left... only a new player jumped in my game at the last possible second and stopped my auto revive from happening... he ran too far away and shuttle left without us... LOL Mission Fail... (I hope he didn't do it on purpose to grief me... he was much higher level)

I've put in more time on Vita than PS4 by now I Imagine. It plays fine on Vita once you get used to it. I'm even getting better at throwing grenades. I miss my reload swipe time to time though.
 
This is great, unfortunately I have yet to join a random game where people were mic'd up.

I love the shotgun it's great for killing, unfortunately accidents happen easily with it
 
Public service announcement to Jetpack Jumpers. Look before you leap!

Your landing zone might hypothetically be right in front of a fellow teammate who might hypothetically be lining up a Recoilless Rifle shot on a nearby Cyborg tank. If I had to guess, that would hypothetically cause rapid death.
 
Thanks to Arrowhead Studios; this game is such a great addition to my PS4 library. Blown away at how much I'm enjoying it. Great job Arrowhead!

EDIT: This is the reason to finally buy a second and third PS4 controllers. It's sooo good. Maybe I'll finally join PS+ too; Gosh Arrowhead! See what you're doing to us? ; )
 
damn, ILLUMINATE are hard. probably the hardest enemy.

those fucking illusionists.

Any idea how you change the colour of your Helldiver? I assume it's related to my reputation/standing? Wish we could just pick different colours.
Click to expand...
what's that reputation/standing thing anyway? I'm still neutral and I have no idea how to change that. as I wrote earlier I'd also really like to have different colors (for each piece of equipment), getting tired of this yellow.

I had a good run of never failing missions but now I've failed 2. ;( fucking randoms, even with a mic, "hey guys we need more exo and some healing would be nice too", nope they pick bombs or turrets so that they can waste them on random locations or kill the whole team with it.

I would like to play some level 5+ missions later on with gaffers. I got the APC and it's really good, OP even. finish objectives quickly, run over everything etc.

also FIX the goddamn friend list, please.

I can add you, will you still be playing in 4-5 hours from now?
 
Stomping around laying waste with a fireteam of rank 3 mechs (exo suits) is all kinds of awesome.

I tried out the APC today and there's potential for some creative uses...and unexpected comedy. 1 turret slot, 2 side gunner slots, and the driver. We used one with good success during a destroy bug nest mission with multiple locations. Sadly we lost our driver early when he got distracted by a sample and tried to exit the vehicle while it was moving. As you can imagine he ended up as wheel lubricant. A lesson learned that we quickly moved on from after we called in his clone.

Another lesson learned during this mission is that reinforcement pods called in directly on top of an APC result in fiery death for all...except for the surprised reinforcement who emerges unscathed from the drop pod into a world of hellish agony and screams.
 
Add me ps4, strongly prefer to play with others who are mic'd up:

Crophonso

Just started last night so I'm new, level 5, but I am not dumb or (more importantly) an asshole.

All but the loot. Weapons unlock as you rank up, Strategims (abilities) unlock as you clear planets. You can endlessly collect Samples to gain upgrade points I assume.

It has a lot of similarities to Diablo, yes.

- The levelling system is pretty standard, but there's lots of room to customize your weapons/strategems/perks. I think somebody in this thread said that the max level is 40.

-There are randomly generated worlds/missions like D3's rifts. Plenty of replayability.

-Enemies don't drop loot in Helldivers like they do in Diablo, instead you unlock strategems/weapons/perks by completing planets and missions.

- There are 12 difficulties
 
Stupid question: Why the hell I can't shoot any weapon besides that main one and only one shot at a time?

What I'm doing wrong? Its driving me crazy!

It seems a lot of people are having problems firing. For some reason my main weapon won't fire sometimes and when it does I can only fire one round at a time. Other times it works perfectly fine. Problem is worse for others extending to strategem weapons as well.

Anyone figure this out yet?

Edit: I think people were blaming the controllers...might be time to buy a new one.

OMG what?

This sucks.

EDIT: The controller? What? My controller works perfectly fine with the rest of my games. This is clearly the game's problem. I hope a patch fix this or I'm asking for a refund.

Non-launch controllers seem to be the answer, yeah.

Its a shit answer though because they certainly aren't cheap, and you really need two on hand to mitigate the feeble battery life of the dualshocks. And it seems like something that could be fixed in software since it only seems to affect a few games, namely Helldivers and GTA V, and in Helldivers it only affects certain weapons. Couldn't devs for both of those games tweak how they're dealing with right-trigger inputs to compensate?

I don't get it.

Yup, they're saying it's a controller problem. So if you're like me and are using a near launch pad you probably can't fire any full auto gun. It fucking sucks.

This is fucking incredible. I'm not buying another controller because of their incompetency.

I had this problem with the pistol earlier for a few seconds, just wouldn't respond even when pressing the trigger all the way down. Fixed itself though.

Small suggestion for the devs, don't show Planet Rewards to players who've already unlocked said reward.


Normally I go for semi-auto guns, but I just can't get along with the Camper

Would be nice if there was a training arena to test your guns and stratagems without going into a mission, ala CoD:AW

edit: oh, seems like you're fucked :(

Tried using a different full auto weapon? Try getting into an ally's exoskeleton if you've only got the original assault rifle

It also doesn't affect all launch controllers, which probably makes the issue more difficult to pin down.

I haven't experienced it, but issues like that and the xbox 360 drift are infuriating.

Do you know what is the actual problem? Anything we can crack open and fix? It's odd because my friends have launch PS4's and don't have the problem, but they also have second controllers, not sure what they are using.

I need a new one anyway since Destiny has totally destroyed my left thumbstick, so I was going to pick one up anyway. But having two working would be nice.

Guess I got the raw deal
 
Got no problems with my launch controller.


Played the first couple of rounds with some friends.
Really great experience so far and I really enjoyed the friendly fire factor.

I'm using a white controller I bought recently and I'm experiencing the same issue.

I think it's a controller thing because the amount you pull the trigger defines if it is a single shot or automatic fire... so there may be a bug where the automatic fire state can't be hit...
 
I'm home and I'm gunna boot it up now, heard the illuminates is unlocked like I guessed. Part of me is hoping when I start my vita, I see some sorta stability update is needed because the matchmaking is borked.

Edit: Okay, so I reread the Helldivers reddit and an Arrowhead Dev made a thread about the cross play issues.

Hi Guys! Just want to say thank you for everyone's support and patience in this matter. It has extremely high priority so you can all get back to spreading democracy with your friends! We were aware of problems across the platforms and are working hard for a fix, which I am happy to say we hope to bring to you shortly! :D
If you have anymore issues you can always go to the official forums and check out our Q&A posts or support thread to find answers. http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/HELLDIVERS/bd-p/HellDivers

I can only use the pistol and the main weapon ( one shot at a time ) flamethrower, SMG and any other weapon doesn't work. This is stupid, as fuck.
