Helldivers |OT| Everybody Fights, Nobody Quits.

I logged in late last night, none of the MP games available were fro the homeworld (tried many many times).

I went there myself and dropped a beacon and nobody joined

Am I missing something? At double XP I would have figured a majority of games would have been for there

Make sure you don't have filters on. I had the same experience briefly and then realized I had hidden easy and hard missions. And there are no medium missions on that planet so nothing was showing.
 
When does the cross save sync happen? Played on my PS4 yesterday with my nephew and now my progress isn't synced with my Vita. I want the research points.
Any way to trigger the sync?

Friend sent me this footage of him and I'm in tears

I really want to like this, but it feels like I'm not contributing anything if I don't just bring 4 exos like the rest of my team...
 
What difficulty are you playing? Exos are not very useful against tanks.


Looking at the completion rate and time left, we definitely won't be able to bring democracy to the bug world.

Btw, what happens when we cleanse the bug world? Will the bug systems be unavailable to invade any longer? How does it work?
 
Btw, Veteran Controller Mode (Setting) makes your APC/HAV go faster. Also, drifting (just be careful around ledges).

Is Veteran Mode PS4-only? Can't find it on PS3 (Vita has digital shoulder buttons).

That's supremely odd: Try filtering for only Bug games, when I do so, like 80% of them are on the homeworld.

Have any of you guys had issues with the DLC 3pack not showing up on your download list?

Wait might have found the answer.

The DLC must necessarily be a mandatory download for everyone (probably came with 1.03) considering everyone has to be able to see it.

I just read this part of the blog, HYPE!
"We want to thank the fans who have already contributed to Helldivers by buying the DLC packs, and supported us as it further gives us the ability to improve the title and react to user feedback. This is why we are happy to announce that we are turning up the heat soon with a big content update that will be free."

Wow, great news. Can't wait for this game to keep growing.

I'm hearing that they think the progress bar is stuck. Can't wait to put in some effort myself tonight!

Ah, so that's why! I was surprised (and amused) that we were doing so bad. :D
 
Servers go down?

Seems like it was s blip.

Any idea why when we completed a level 6 we got +0 to the event, no wonder that bar isn't moving.

If you got any number of stars then it must have been a glitch, otherwise you need at least one star for the mission to generate influence.

First star: Complete all objectives
Second: Full team extraction
Third: Number of deaths under a certain threshold

It is possible to get zero stars if none of these conditions are met.
 
Game crashed twice today, both at end of (successful) mission. The second was a multiplayer planet where one more mission would have got me the Tesla Tower, one of my three remaining stratagems, and since it was not my session, I assume I lost all progress/access in that planet. Not going to lie, pretty pissed right now, especially because the group was really good.

Exos are the scrub's stratagem. Any time I see someone bringing more than one Exo in multiplayer, I cringe. The best players I've played with (see above) bring zero Exos. They're quite alright in single player but for multi there's much better stuff.

I'm currently in awe of the HAV, particularly its turret. There's few problems that it can't solve with a few well-placed shots, even on Helldive. I'm guessing much like with the Exo, and with the turrets before that, I'll realize it's not the golden hammer it seems, but right now it's saved the days more times I can count.

Right now my build for multi is UAV (unless someone else also has it), ammo, HAV and repair gun. I've realized this means the only thing I can contribute against heavy armored enemies is the HAV, so I'm thinking of switching something for the railcannon strike or thuderer barrage, possibly the repair gun, or even the UAV as anticipating the enemy is less of a concert/possibility in multi.
 
I just discover that the jetpack does WONDERS for survivability, stick a research point there and you'll never run out.

Level 3 Orbital Railcannon with Stratagem priority has fast enough cooldown to reliably use on tanks... At least on Very Hard difficulty.

Invasion of the bug homeworld is going on now. And for another 8 hours I think, probably going to lose it though.
 
This game has so many bugs. All players just couldn't leave the HAV so mission was failed on default. I also had a glitched cannon before.

And the progress bar on the invasion event has to be buggy I guess. I can't think they expected the players to do more. Having it bugged doesn't help the invasion though because many players won't do it because they think it won't work out anyway. See more games for some stratagems than invasion games.
 
Had a bunch of crashes last night and errors trying to join games. Luckily I got into a game with Bamelin and Hekk and getting through Helldives is pretty damn easy when you got people who know how to play. Getting through a level with only 10 kills never felt so good.
 
And to make matters worse you can blow off a limb and they're still 86 percent combat effective.

Here's a tip: Aim for the nerve stem, and put those bugs down for good.

The bug world invasion has been great. Been racking up xp by joining games already half finished, and going on sample runs by soloing missions.
 
Why does it feel like I am sprinting so much slower than the rest of the people? What things slow one down besides the heavy armor? I don't even wear it.

Also, the sprint button needs a different color. You can barely see if it is activated on Kepler.
 
Finally played a good solid 3 missions. Some randoms dropped in and helped me. Omg this is so much fun.

Wow. Just wow. Itching to get back home and play more. I now get how the difficulty makes it fun. Hopefully I feel the same about Bloodborne.

They're probably using the Cardio Accelerator perk.
 
Been trying for 20 minutes to group with a friend. Norhin but "teleport boot failed"

They gonna fix the matchmaking ever? Already a dlc out but matchmaking is still a crapshoot.
 
Between getting kicked out of a session as I was boarding the shuttle and the apparent progress bug, my taste for the game is souring quickly.
 
The save indicator in the top, right-hand corner of the screen won't go away for me. I played for almost an hour earlier and it was there the whole time. Didn't loose any save data though.
 

Hah, talk about bad luck.

Coincide I ran into you guys yesterday, played a couple of good matches with you and Wicked (PSN Jetpaction).

I agree the jetpack is really good to get out of a bad situation and given my PSN name it would be stupid not to use it :) Also really love the 98 Laser cannon, I barely use my primary weapon anymore since it never runs out of ammo.
 
No trophy as well even though I completed at least 2 missions.

But... They can't be ballsy enough to lock out an entire race right? The bugs will return... Probably.

When we defeat the other two races, the war resets.
I was thinking that it would be an awesome moment to introduce a new race replacing one of the current ones. Then with the next reset, they bring back the old race cycled out alongside a fifth one. From then on they keep cycling the races with each reset. That would make things really interesting and varied, and give an incentive to win each war.
 
No trophy here also. Kind of disappointing. I wish Arrowhead would say something about this whole event.

@Pilestedt (Arrowhead CEO/Game Director) on Reddit:
Hey Guys,
Apperantly there was an issue on the backend that caused two events to start at the same time. We believe the progress bar was recieved from the one that the points didn't go to, but the effects were still counted and that's why you saw the second event after the first one failed. (So, for all intents and purposes, you guys did well against the bugs)
We're investigating why this happened, and it's a bit sad that it happened in such a crucial step of the campaign. The next event will behave better.

Let's hope the next event will behave better. With 2-and-something regions/systems to conquer, I don't expect us to reach the Cyborg Homeworld before next Thursday.
 
Maybe new mechs in the future. A post from Pilestedt on the Playstation forums:

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the support. I'm so happy that the Helldivers Community has become such a great one, and I think you guys deserve the transperancy. Not only from us, but from all game companies.

I'm really happy with the way the game turned out, and now it's just a question of supporting it even further. I for one always thought there weren't enough exo-variations in the base game. ;)
 
No trophy for defending the capital =( Even though my friend got his when we completed three Lv 9 missions together.

It can't be because my connection got cut right? I still manage to jump back in several times before the end.

I for one always thought there weren't enough exo-variations in the base game.

...I'm listening.
 
Yep, no trophy for either the bug home world attack or the city defend. Frustrating.
