Helldivers |OT| Everybody Fights, Nobody Quits.

I am loving this game but I misf aay those mechs really do need to be nerfed. I joined two different lobbies that had all four slots as mechs, maxed out by the way, and it just broke the feel of the game. I never had one random join my game in 8hrs of playing last night but was constantly trying to migrate with hosts atttempting to join others.

Why ia there not a way to filter full games?

Just wait til you try out the higher levels. Mechs lose their utility as you get higher. They are slow, take up a lot of space, and tanks can destroy them easily. Anytime you take the mechs into the lower levels, you'll be damn near untouchable. That's fine. You need more than mechs to do the more difficult missions.
 
I wish more people understood the supply kit that comes with the Recoiless Rifle and the Supply Backpack. This game has some awesome coop mechanics but I constantly get the CoD minded players who want to rambo their way through with a full mech build.

Also strange seeing just about everyone running the upgraded UAV, throwing it out but never working with the team to go pick up Samples.

Yeah, it worked for me the 1 day, after it never worked again.

same. I actually tried to use the SOS after starting a solo hard mission, even after 10 minutes no one joined. I tried more than one time, yes.

which means that I don't even end up in the list of the "matchmaking rooms", it's completely broken or it's because EU still hasn't got the patch. wouldn't be surprised if it's the former.
 
I feel like I am always the last to spawn/to be dropped which sucks. Is that normal and every player sees themselves as last one to drop?
Sucks so much to spawn right next to the tank bug in a fucking corner.

Upgraded the railgun and am liking the stun quite a bit so far.

Rail gun is my go to weapon if i'm in a group. If not then I usually roll with the justice.

What reset bug? *fears for his save game*
Click to expand...

Apparently if your controller disconnects or dies while your playing the game, it resets everything you've earned. I set my controller down to eat dinner, came back (controller was off due to power save setting) and all of my progress was lost except my actual rank. Total bummer.
 
Sick and tired of not seeing my friendslist.

Time to clean it out. If I removed you because we haven't played in a while or I didn't recognize the name, just resend the FR.

Can't join some buddies on the Tesla Tower mission and it's pissin me off :/

Have to delete over 100 people. There might be collateral damage lol
 
yo im trying to play with my friend and it wont let us matchmake.
coming from x360 last gen, online on ps4 is real shit, it seems like no game functions correctly.

also, I have fun playing with randoms but when I do manage to play with my friend, no one ever joins us. even if the game is set to public.

this pisses me off because I convinced 4 ppl to buy it and I cant even play with them most of the time.

Works for me and my friends, maybe it's your internet connection?

Edit: nvm, never knew this occurred in this game. Guess I'm just lucky.

Unless something drastically changes this will end up as one of the biggest surprises I had in gaming ever. Who could would have guessed that friendly fire with randoms would result in better team work and less people behaving like chickens without a head?

I thought it was recipe for disaster but every game I've played so far even those without voice communication ended up being very well managed and despite some hilarious friendly fire kills I'm finding that people are actually playing the game with strategy and working together towards the objectives.

I KNOW! It makes me wonder however if adding friendly fire and high degree of danger like this would tramslate well to a FPS... could be great, or could be terrible...

Being an isometric shooter may be keeping low-life's away from the game... all the better for us though.
 
Did they change the way psn search worked? It used to only return exact matches, now it returns partial matches and it doesn't even put exact matches at the front. It makes it impossible to find someone unless they have an extremely unique name
 
Sorry for repost, but nobody saw it last time I asked: So probably a dumb question at this point in the thread, but I'd probably need Playstation Plus to get the most out of this game, no?

If you're playing on PS4, then you'd need PS+ to play multiplayer, which is a ton of fun. Singleplayer is ok, but I can see it becoming tedious after a while.

It does. Playing on Realism mode in Left 4 Dead with coop teammates has been one of my defining multiplayer experiences of all time. Realism mode is the hardest difficulty setting and takes away helpful stuff like outline of your teammates.

It does that if you have too many friends. Try removing some till you have about 200
Click to expand...
Weird, I have 49 friends which of those like only 10 are always online and still does that shit.

I have to close the game or start a mission to be available.

Btw,the Gundam is freaking OP though I hit a wall and is hard for me to complete the missions level 6 and up

Same thing happened to me. Really unfortunate, I'm not sure how there's a way to upgrade again, it takes a lot of samples to get RP now. It'd be better if I could just start fresh again but I can't see a way to wipe my character.

Same. That and leaving it behind on a planet full of tanks, not realizing we can't do anything without it. I'm not the best by any means, but playing with people who know what they're doing and what you're doing is like night and day. A duo with two rifles, two supply kits, and two decoys can be a juggernaut even on some of the worst planets.

Even when I'm playing with mech build teams, and try to bring rep-80 + two sets of decoys, so I can do upkeep and hit the objective sites on foot, they still usually end up standing their ground when I throw a decoy (usually shooting it's direction and destroying it) and only running when the rep-80 needs to be reclaimed. Then everyone runs out of mech ammo by the 3rd objective (with 3 or 4 more left on tough maps)... which would also be helped by bringing a full set of mechs to re-up with and ditching the UAV's, airstrikes etc. The UAV is helpful when you're not getting samples if you're all on foot and will really try to watch the patrol directions, but in some cases it's a waste of valuable space.

Will that bug be fixed with the patch this tuesday?
Click to expand...

NA region got a patch this weekend that is supposed to help with matchmaking, but people here have been reporting mixed results. EU region gets the same patch on Tuesday. I don't think the progression loss bug is addressed in this patch.

If you have any problems with the game, report it here: http://community.us.playstation.com...s-SUPPORT-Post-your-issues-here/td-p/45009209

The more info the devs get, the better they can address and fix these issues.

Are you even capable of having fun? This is hands-down the best game released recently.
Its just such a pity the community events only happen when I'm asleep.

I'm having lots of fun with various Resogun challenges right now. There's something about this game that just doesn't click with me, I guess.

Playing alone? Playing with bad teams and/or teammates that don't communicate? If your answers are yes, that's not the best experience, group with people here. If your answers are no, I don't know what to tell you.

Yeah, I've heard even before I got it, that the game really shines when you play it co-op. I've only played it solo so far, and it's possible that it's just not a good way to play the game. But at least maybe then my impression can stand as a warning for people who intended to play it solo. Sadly, I have so little time to play games that arranging to play it with other people is practically impossible, as I'd be the most unreliable team member you could think of.

It's got a lot of little quips, but the humour kind of misses the mark for me.

After my 150-200 hours in Destiny came to a close I realized I had over 250 friends on my list.

I cleaned it out long ago and now have something like 25. Has to be done.
 
just ordered the bundle, it's now downloading to my PS4 & Vita, which is the best system to play it on & are there any differences feature-wise between the console & handheld version?

I'm very very interested in this game.

How good is it?
Click to expand...

The game is very good, fun, intense, strategic, deep.
And old school top down shooter revisited for this social era.
Arrowhead crafted this game very well knowing exactly what they wanted this game to be, the game direction is flawless in my opinion.

Then there are some fixes needed but i fear that the issues with the matchmaking are due to same server issue.

I haven't tried the Vita version yet. Some say that it handles fine in MP, some say it slows down a bit. Grenade and reload are mapped to the rear touchpad, which may or may not be a good thing.

Edit- Welcome to Helldivers! Quote the OP for a link to the Google Doc and send friend requests to fellow GAFdivers.

Great!

Love the style, a must buy then
 
Impressions are looking very good in this thread.

But the backlog... I bought Dragon Age and I haven't even put it in the PS4 yet. Just so busy.



God damn it.

The great thing about this game's multiplayer is that it works even with randoms. I don't have any friends who game, and I've had a blast just looking for games with strangers until I find a good crew who knows what they're doing. I recommend heading over to the multiplayer side and trying it out with strangers.
 
My God I love this game. Was playing it 4 player round a friends house yesterday and it was amazing. Currently liking to take a load of support stuff like the repair gun and the resupply backpack. Not had so much fun with one game in a while.
