Helldivers |OT| Everybody Fights, Nobody Quits.

You've got launch controller problems. The R2 trigger isn't completely actuating the button.

Solution1 : Wait for patch
Solution2 : Buy new controller
Solution3: Open controller place piece of paper infont of R2 trigger button (what I did)

I"m still at 1.01 :-( and it's the 11th now

Solution4: Open controller and swap the L and R button pads underneath the triggers
 
guess I'm done with this game after today, patch or not. got other stuff to play, then Bloodborne. I doubt I'll go back to it any time soon.
I honestly don't know why they're taking so fucking long to give the EU players a much needed patch, mostly because like this, online is dead. it's pretty awful

still, was really fun. good game despite all the bugs and problems it still has.

I can get a bug tank to spawn in a second after I alert a patrol on lvl 10s.

Already got the bug tank cheevo. All you need are noob teammates without antiarmour and a railgun.
you got a bug tank in a solo mission? I was referring to that, never getting them there.
I can only try to do that when I'm in a team, it seems.
 
I'm grinding the event for samples and XP, and I got a weird glitch. No enemies spawn on the map, though the map and UAV clearly show they are there. I can't complete the mission since one of the objectives is "Kill 50 enemies." :(
 
These public events drop samples for days!
What's this community event about? I'm still at work and can't see it!! Gimme details!

We all get an alert notice on our ships that a specific section of the planet is getting invaded. We get 4 hrs to completely wipe out all the enemies in a global event. Each mission gives double XP as reward.

First up, it seems the issue of no patch out was not known until late Friday and the QA team for EU region was fully booked out until the 10th, different QA teams per region (unclear if this was Sony QA or Paradox QA), that's why there was no patch yet. Assuming QA and cert takes a workday we might see the patch for EU tomorrow.

The last one I participated in was to defend Freedom Fortress. What are we defending this time?

Thanks Dhruv! I guess I'll see about taking it apart and buying a replacement because I'm going to break it.

What are these public events and how do I access them (I'm level 3)? CUCO carry a bro through a Raid!

Yeah it was a solo on lvl 10. 2 ended up spawning in the entire mission (I alerted maybe 4 patrols). One I killed with a well-placed and well-timed nuke that also happened to kill 3 nests, the other I kited until it got squashed by the extraction ship.

Damn I'm good.
 
Wich level unlocks the teleporting perk?
i want go full with teleport and shield sometime. I would like to go with a team in wich everyone is using force shield, teleport and static field conductors, maybe everyone with the laser canon and optional railgun. It would be so ghostbusters.

TIP: Force shield makes you inmune to static field conductors.
 
I thought the Punisher (second shotgun) sucked, but after I got its second upgrade (increased range), it's actually really good. It's like The Camper, but with a tiny spread.

I believe its level 18/19. Pretty sure its level 19!
 
^yeah it's level 19, really good perk.

I read that tweet, I assumed that "not booked until 10th" meant 10th = patch gets released. I don't know, they take a full working day to do some QA for a patch that fixes 2 bugs? QA teams or not I feel like Arrowhead is also to blame on this one.
 
How do you even not find any matches? I've never had to look nore than 5 minutes. Check your filters man.


Also what happens when we lose a capital city? War progress resets? Or just 1 block?

Looks like we lost all of the Illuminate sectors except the one bordering Super Earth, so now they're knocking on our home base. That seems like a pretty big hit in progress.

Sucks that we lost. In normal campaign mode, I think more people fight the Bugs and Cyborgs. We need more Helldivers pushing back against the Protoss Illuminates, dammit!
 
On for a planet. PSN: Mr_Saver.

Bad netcode is going to kill this game if they don't fix it quickly. Already a lot less players than a few days ago :-(
 
You need to let us know when you call them in :p

Hey now, when I say, "NO ONE GO TO THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE SCREEN!!!" you've got a whole six seconds to run. They've got warning sirens on them too. It's not my fault that these bojanky sirens are broken and don't sound off. :P

Besides I only Nuked us accidentally, what, one time? We were going to lose that mission anyway!
 
I want to love this game so badly, but until they fix this goddamn worthless matchmaking I'm done. I know they're planning it but until then I can't be bothered. Nobody joins my games and what few public games that exist are full or are ran by people who don't know how to set their game to private and end up kicking everyone. Solo play ends up being either too difficult or too boring.

Guess I'll just wait.
 
I don't think sony realizes what a hit they have on their hands here. This is simply one of the greatest games ever. They nailed the fundamentals to a tea. Hell I would go as far as saying the gameplay and gunplay is better than most third person shooters out there, and this is a top down shooter. A testament to great game design.

Wow! I've been wondering how a campaign could last four to six weeks, so with incursions pushing the borders right back to Super Earth? That's going to be a hefty operation to wash out the Illuminate again.

For Democracy. And matchmaking getting fixed. It's like asking the Royal Marines to row themselves to the Falklands, because the RN are scraping barnacles.

Imagine they

a) fix the issues

b) start adding more stuff

It'll be great!
 
So I finally got to play this game with a friend last night. What I didn't know was that this game requires a constant internet connection. I thought it was like Dead Nation where it just syncs after each level. It actually booted us from the first level just as the pick-up dropship landed... My internet was acting up yesterday so we were basically unable to play this game.
Thank god Hotline Miami 2 came out... :/
 
This game is gonna be on my short list come game of the year time. This is some of the most fun I've had in a long, long time with a co op game. It's fresh and it's fun. I'm hooked. Everything about this game is just brilliant.

is there a detailed description/guide for solution3 (tried youtube, but only found videos for stuck R2 triggers)?
i have the same r2 issue and i tried sony support. but they (predictably) wouldn´t help me since the serial number on my DS4 is unreadable now.

I don't know. I just opened the controller up folded a small bit of paper twice, placed it in the trigger and closed it >_<

I could do it again and send you step by step pictures of the process. It's relatively simple.
 
I know people complain about matchmaking issues a lot. Is this specific to PS4? Because I never faced any issues on PS3. I am in EU region.
 
Finally got into a game with a cohesive PUG. Amazing game when you have a decent group. Too bad I was disconnected at the end of the mission. GODDAMMIT. I hope they work the kinks out, this is indie GOTY material if they can. Tired of desperately attempting to have a solid matchmaking experience.

Preach it fellow Gaffer.
