I was playing with ransoms and they said that there friend (I know I know) said that super earth got invaded last night by cyborgs true or false

A system was invaded and taken by the Cyborgs yesterday after a 3 hour event .. we lost. Horribly, basically lol

Edit: Imagine my surprise when for once I was able to play with someone on my friendslist. Hopped into Pylon_Trooper's game soon as I saw it to see if it would work.
 
Thanks for that brief and unexpected bit of co-op, Stopthenadness! As I mentioned, I was playing via a spotty 3G tethering on my phone in the mountain boondocks! It was, for the most part, markedly smooth!

Next time, mikes and a proper session. I'll be back to a wired, city connection later today.

I can't remember where I read it but Arrowhead said yesterday that they overestimated the player base when they designed the event, and that future events will be tuned up so players actually have a chance to beat whatever faction they're fighting

Overall this game is cool but has a few issues they could address:

  • Stuff constantly falling out of the sky and killing you is sort of funny the first few times it happens. Then it's just really annoying. Especially because it seems stuff doesn't seem to fall exactly where you think it will. It lands in the vicinity but sometimes it's off by a few yards and that usually happens to be where I (or someone else) is standing.
  • There needs to be some on-screen indicator of where the next missing objective is. I understand you're free to choose which one you want to do next, but it really sucks to have to constantly stop, hit the big button, and look around the map for where you're going. Meanwhile you're still getting wrecked by enemies. You should be able to highlight the mission you want to do, and have an arrow on the edge of the screen pointing towards it at all times.
  • No invite system for friends? Huh?
  • I just spent 40 minutes in a game that we had no hope of winning - yet somehow we held out for 40 minutes just to fail in the end. The other three people I was playing with ALL had mics. But none of them ever said a damn word. I tried talking to them but no one talked back. Just a lot of heavy breathing. It would have been an epic time if we'd have come out of that 40 minutes with something as a reward, but instead we didn't get much and no one ever talked. Then it was over. That's not the game's fault but seriously people, if you're going to put the mic on, use it.

You can put down a marker on the map, but it doesn't seem to do anything - I was expecting an arrow on the main screen.

The alert thing is pretty annoying. Seems like such a short gap between you seeing an emery and it 'raising the alarm' which doesn't involve it going anywhere - reinforcements simoly appear. I wouldn't mind so much except for the massive ! Box that appears in the corner every time. Yes, I know they raised the alarm, the hordes of enemies coming out of the ground was a hint.
 
Man reading some of this really makes me want to grab the game. Just don't want to play with randoms who are going to bitch if you screw up
 
This game is so good. I really didn't think I'd enjoy it but wow.

If any newb divers want to team up, add me - PSN: Nasirum

Level 3 (4 soon) now.
 
Just got the level 10 tank from completing 3 missions on suicide difficulty, that thing is boss. One shot kills everything, even the huge tanks. Also destroys bug nests in one shot.

For all you guys with a R2 trigger not able to shoot full auto in Helldivers.

PS4 firmware update 2.50 adds full controller customization on OS level!!!

Found a fix for that r2 problem , the problem is the rubber which wares off after intense usage , swapped it with L2 rubber and problem solved , have fresh replacements on the way.
 
I just had a good session with some gaffers, but please, please, please, don't intentionally kill/destroy objectives to make the mission go faster. That is anti-fun.
 
Damn, this game is good. Nice difficulty and the weapons feel really great. The devs really seem like they put a ton of thought into how well this game plays.

You can turn off hints in the options. It was off by default for my girlfriend but I had to turn it off myself, because yeah that one is annoying.

I'm not perfect at gaming and know nothing f this game. I won't care if you mess up nobody is perfect. I'm probably going to get this. Let me know, I can play in like 3 hours or so. I want to do some horde mode on Zombie Army first.

I just played a game where 3 people were using mics so I used my Silver headset connected through USB and I could see they were talking but I could no longer hear them and I'm not sure if they could hear me. I plugged my headset directly into the controller after the mission and I could hear them again but they all left.

Anyone else having headset issues?

This happened to me last night and then I discovered my sound/chat slider was moved all the way over to sound :/
 
I added my tag to the spreadsheet. What's up with all the PSN IDs with no GAF user names attached to them? That's...interesting.
 
Spent all night playing as Medic/Support last night, rolled with my maxed UAV and healing gun, barely got any kills but it was still surprisingly fun. Maneuvering between the other 3 teammates, dodging friendly fire AND enemies attacks made the game feels like a lite bullet hell game.

Hope Arrowhead will get a bigger budget for a bigger sequel next time. The procedural generated maps work well enough for a while until every map feels a bit samey and things get slightly repetitive. Would love to see a separate campaign in future sequels, some of the set pieces / stages in Dead Nation are awesome, hope to see the same in Helldivers. Perhaps we can have a separate Campaign mode, and what we have in Helldivers now can be a Conquer (or Managed Liberation) mode which offers unlimited replayability and longevity as long as the online community stays alive.

If you can get a few friends to play with you, I would definitely give it a go, it's a blast to play in co-op.

I haven't experienced this (thankfully) but I HAVE encountered a lot of absolutely terrible players who end up making us lose.

And I don't say that as an elitist or something. I'm not great either. But holy-moley, some of the randoms I've played with. I've played with a bunch of people who just stand in one place shooting and don't advance to any objectives until we get overwhelmed and die. All while I'm toward the edge of the screen pinging to advance. These are people who are level 10+, even. I don't get it. This has happened multiple times.
