@@rubentelur we need to get our shit together people think the automatons are bad they are nothing compared to the cyborgs and the cyborgs were nothing compared to the iluminte
I thought it was just a game crash when I suddenly got teleported to my ship, and then the FTL countdown. I hopped in game just to see whats going on and to be there when Meridia is destroyed, makes me really excited on whats to come.
Im so happy to be in a community that despite the initial difficulties, has succesfully completed the order. We pushed together and won! You guys are awesome!!!
I also noticed that tons of players were off killing the automatons instead of doing the major order with the dark fluid. We could have finished this much faster if those players weren’t off on the opposite side of the map doing their own thing. If there’s a major order, everyone should do it until it’s done.
@@xikaryo6735 I play helldivers but for the first day and half every lobby I got into had 3 bug holes legit spawning equidistant all around the drill the moment we placed dark fluid in it. If the devs come out with buggy broken update, no one’s going to want to subject themselves to it for very long. Simple.
This game continues to blow away my expectations. Myself and two other helldivers were on Meridia before it was destroyed and we weren't expecting anything when we arrived back on our ships. When we did get back, we were greeted with this alarm and warnings we had never heard before. Everything that happened after that I'm sure most of you know but we were staring at the hole for 30 minutes and just talking. It's the little things that can create such memorable moments
Makes me wonder if the devs have thought about how there is now a large black hole just a hop skip away from super earth. That would be some crazy higher thinking/ game design. “Congrats hell divers. You completed the mission. But wait, who could have foreseen the danger in neutralizing the bugs with a black hole could have somehow threaten our own home-world. Oh, the hubris.”
I’m not convinced the spawning of the bugs on the drill was a “bug”. They have you 40 minutes and more Dark Fluid than needed. I think blowing up the planet was supposed to be hard.

We did the dark fluid mission with my friends. We failed a few times to start before we got our stratagems lined out, but once we succeeded, we were hooting and yelling and celebrating. Felt really good to overcome it.
A group of friends i was in figured out how to easily beat the mission just wipe out all the bug holes around the map and our spawns of bugs dropped off dramatically. the drills were easy to defend at that point, this was on difficulty 7
Not only both these points, but no nests/no nest bugs = no patrol bug breeches that can be called in on top of the ones that spawn for the drill. So on helldive you get like 7 breaches for the drill instead of 3 or 4. And even on lower diffs you can get about 5 at once.
@nelsonjackson5718 yeah but with stun grenades/ smoke/ static orbitals you could deal with those without to much of a problem. Despite it being an unintended bug. The fact those holes were so close to your teammates on such a small map meant you or a teamate was bound to be close enough to trigger many excess spawns that you didn't need to deal with in addition to the under drill spawns.
We tried an interesting strategy for the dark fluid missions. We all took Gatlings and machine gun sentries with EMS and it was a breeze. The 8 sentries even created enough AA cover that the extraction was quite chill.
It would actually be the sound of all the interstellar dust and debris brushing against your ship on its way to the blackhole, still, an ominous sound indeed.
The dark fluid mission was initially quite hard but still manageable even with the "bugged" spawns. After the hotfix it was a bit too easy even on Helldive. Super fun regardless, required a little loadout experimentation for my friends and I to figure out :)
I was there when it fell as well it was crazy! Floating above super earth as we speak as that's where I was sent so we wouldn't get sucked up during explosion as well
All the dark fluid is gone.....oh good, I was having too much fun with the dark fluid jetpacks, flying 100 feet in the air. I am glad we still have our trampoline jump jetpacks that launch us 4 feet into the air.
I was made nervous by the alert to make a jump, unable to question and seeing the result of what happened just as it collapsed. Pulled to Super Earth and unable to see what had became the Meridia System until it "stablized". It's beautiful, and purple, and visible. That is not a black hole. Fucking adore this game
I was logged in when it happened and I got FTL’d to Super Earth when the planet collapsed. I got some kind of emergency alert with a timer. I saved a clip of it, it was very cool seeing the shift to purple like that. See ya, Meridia. You won’t be missed. Now the question remains, what are these black holes going to lead to? I noticed Arrowhead really made it sound like a real black hole too, the sound is… pretty creepy.
I’m been working social/community in games for about a decade. Happy to chat nuts and bolts with you anytime. I’ve been watching your content for ages. Love it.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="705">11:45</a> we need beter performance and technical fixes. I heared from multiple people how they stopped playing because game just doesnt run good. Low fps, stutters, crashes. The work of developers and all cool updates are pointless if players cant play the game because its not working for them.
So I went back to the black hole, and either the ship was making sounds resisting getting pulled in. However, I was under the impression that I was hearing creature noises potentially coming from the black hole. My personal thought anyone else.
@stylosa - They are gonna come for you mate!!! Squiddies on route, they gonna lay eggs in you and make baby squiddies! So massive patch will be illuminate then.
The dark fluid used to destroy meridia was literally illuminate tech, and allegedly the ambient sound you hear is a slowed down version of the illuminate battle theme, so yeah, theyre coming 100%
Fixing patrol spawns would be a massive step in the right direction. Earlier today, I ran a two-man mission waiting for pubbies to join. It took 10 minutes of constant heavy combat during which time we killed multiple Hulks, multiple Tanks and at least three Factory Striders. For two people? Spawns need to be addressed, and fast. Arrowhead really need to expose the back-end "heat" mechanic to the player.
@@DavidTMSN the game was fine before they did it. now its not fun to fight the whole mission. there no breather after 45 second a patrol shows up and you fight again its not fun to keep fighting. before that update you fight then have a moment to regroup or restock before heading to the objective. if i want harder ill play 8 or 9 difficulty which i can do i just want to enjoy the game. i think you can agree with that and if people like this make it a challenge mode or 10 difficulty as to get the players on both side what they want without upsetting anyone. a win win
@starkiller4275 he is still playing "an extreme HORDE shooter" point still stands. Play a different game or drop the difficulty but crying helps no one.
Ended a mission and got sent back to super earth, went back with my sqaud and witnessed the black hole with my buddies, now THAT is a memorable gaming moment.
Weird, I didn't get the emergency jump or whatever. I visited Meridia after to see the black hole (and the ship turning purple lol) but I didn't see that emergency jump some article was talking about.
My team and i were there completing our last mission on Merida. All our helldivers died but completed the mission. They became part of the beautiful black hole. Rest in peace soldiers.
The community shares some of the blame for how things have been going this past month. Many peoples lack of patience and understanding has fueled a good deal of the burn out the devs have been facing. We keep demanding them to do better but never allow them the time and conditions they need to do better. The constant attacks over balance, the accusations of devs taking away everything fun, and even the death threats were not something the Devs needed to have added to their already copious work load. This isn't an us vs them thing. We all share some responsibility towards the future of this game. Its highly hypocritical to ask the Developers to be professional when we cant even do the same and give them a little decency.
counter to that they wouldnt be getting attacked if they 1. didnt fuck with the spawns 2. didnt nerf things and especially the primary's like really? you nerf the guns we have to use most of the time and it wasnt little nerfs it was the old sledge hammer been used as a scalpel and death treats ok a little overboard but i can understand it like they purposely made the game way harder then it needed to be and for whatever reason and in some cases out right impossible to even have a chance at winning
Imo the black hole is the coolest thing AH dropped since the game came out. Technically a blackhole that size is typically from a star, i think this "black hole" is an illuminate warp gate.
Me and my friends had a tactic for the drill where we all were using the lightning resist armor and had a ton of tesla towers 30m or so away from the drill. It was fun. First and only time we used that armor 😂
Everything for me is a coincidence, Meridia's destruction, the black hole, longer time before they could release a patch = something is coming out of that black hole for sure and we all are excited to see them very soon.
SES Bringer of Eternity reporting. HOLY LIBERTY this is what I like about helldivers 2. The community is amazing, the dev always updates the game which make the whole game hyped. Sadly I can't join such event. I am on vacation and I would love to join this activity that is happening... But I can't cuz I dont have the permission, had to finish all my vacation time.
Black holes can have varying sizes to their event horizons. It really only appears like the ship is dangerously close to it because there's nothing else to compare size with. That black hole could be the size of the entire star system that Meridia used to exist in and even when you're millions of miles away it would still look like you're really close to it. And realistically, that black hole wouldn't have just destroyed the planet of interest Meridia, it would have destroyed the entire Meridia system. Meridia's star and all of whatever planetary neighbors it had would have been sucked into the black hole along with it. XD
Depends on the game you're a community manager for... I used to be one for Warframe ages ago, but you're correct about the player sentiment... we had to compile a huge amount of data across the community from various walks of life... then quantify that into discernable metrics for the management to do something with it... however, community manager is basically the first and last line of defence for any game like Warframe or Helldivers. It's not an exaggeration to say you have to practically live online for a majority of your time, especially if you're the type to be very engaging with that community. That's why I'm a former community manager... that, and I didn't like many of the decisions the development team was making despite community sentiment... so I moved on instead of getting angry and burnt out all the time.
I was there when the planet collapsed. I feel like this gravitational anomaly is gonna be found by someone else in the galaxy. With the fronts being a little stagnated, I feel like it’s grounds to bring the illuminate back With a lot of silence from their existence in the game, this big “explosion” caused by humanity will probably bring attention to super earth and her colonies to other sentient beings in the galaxy like the ones that gave us the Alcubiere drive for our destroyers that allow us to have FTL jumps
It would have been ideal if the mission wasn't bugged from the start obviously, but hotfix wasn't too late and let me complete the mission on Helldive and made it much more fun. . Weve been on the map but its totally evolved which has been super cool to see. For everyone lets be patient and let them cook it just cant be said enough. Complaining and insulting needs to stop be constructive. Good videos keep it up!
My question is, when you are transported back to Super Earth, before going to check out Meridia and you walk around, why does it look like the other Helldiver ships are engaging on the surface? It looks like they are actively attacking the ground...At least, that is what I saw.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="353">5:53</a> I can confirm, this does NOT work lol...I went prone and immediately got hit 3 times in a row. It might work sometimes, but I had way better luck just hiding by a rock piller that was taller than me and putting my back to it with the incendiary breaker. They're weak enough that generally if you hit them once with it, they will day before hitting you again
What it needs right now: Is a bloody sink for samples etc.. Being capped on everything does not really give an insentive to keep playing. And not a trade sample A for sample B, cuz that is also just avoiding the main issue with it. All the other stuff that most people mention should be fixed, be it sooner or later.. But seriously, give me a way to keep using my samples for something that can provide me with a little bit of power, even if its a 0.00001 increase for 200 common samples, I dont care.. But yeah there is no power progression, there is true power fantasy. Love the game, but it is missing something along those lines. Ps. great video.
I was there with the best squad I ever played with. Almost clean run on level 9. Weird thing is, the new mission at Vega Bay, is Automaton territory. While the game said (I think) it was a Terminid oriented planet/theme. Correct me if i'm wrong..
The reason why you didn't get dropped into the grav well is the same reason you don't fall into a planet grav well, you are out of the pull. It is damn cool looking. Sucks I was busy the whole mission.
because of work i could only play the mission 3 times and of those i only got to the end twice. when i encountered the shriekers the second time i went prone and crawled to extraction all while hip firing my revolver into never ending swarms of bugs sweeping down on me. ngl probably the most cinetamtic thing i have ever seen in this game.
you used to be able to prone to avoid them... they "fixed" that. They will absolutely kill you instantly. I cannot disagree with the post from Baskinator any harder. I dont want them reaching out to us. I want them working, testing their products, and I honestly dont care about their mental health. If I delivered consistently bad products at my job, and had the audacity to ask to take longer to deliver the next one... I would be replaced. ArrowHead needs to look inward, and ask "why are we failing, and how do we improve". They SHOULD be stressed.
I was on the planet when it black holed and it was very confusing because in stead of removing me and the others form the mission it just stop give us fluid
They need to hire a QC guy for patch testing. At my job a single blueprint goes through 4 different QC people and sometimes I get corrections months after sending them out so its extra strange for me when they put out a mission with 3 different game breaking issues (breach placements, shrikers level scaling and mission overview points). It was fun though ... when it worked
my thought on the patch. some weapon buffs not all. level 5 ship module. new war bond. new faction. some new missions, some new strats. 1 weapon, 1 eagle 1 turret etc
Having a lot of fun with the game and put a ton of time towards the order. Main thing I want to see tbh is more server stability, it's fine sometimes then you get constantly disconnected every 10 min for most of the day, needs fixing so I can spread more democracy 🙂
god people bitching about the fact that they are gonna take more time with patches is driving me nuts. first we bitch that the patches are bad. and then we bitch about the fact they take longer now. AFTER WE VOTED FOR IT OURSELVES.
All I wanted is change back “QUAZAR CANNON” back to its original when it first dropped as intended, not give it a crazy extended timer which is already a bad idea to begin with ?! - who think it was a right to complain about a stratagems weapon when is not even a default loadout weapon - is made for heavy arm units not for the regular grunts we have other stratagems for that
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="239">3:59</a> to be fair the planet is being blown up BECAUSE there were too many terminids and the planet was beyond saving. I would say it was fair all things considered.
I really dont think the dark fluid missions were meant to be easy wins. We tried really hard to finish that major order but whenever the order is stupid hard, its for a story related reason.
I don't think the Super Colony plot is over from the Terminid side. Check out the news update in the game that arrived earlier today (before the operation completed). Terminid activity on Meridia declined before the collapse. So what if they fled, knowing what would be coming up?
for now the game doesn't need more missions, the immediate concern should be buffing primary weapons so people don't use the same 3 again and again, something like just more damage to the weapons so you don't have to empty an entire mag of your AR to kill two minor bugs
