Helldivers 2 CEO Teases New Enemy Faction and PSN Cape! 

More than half of

Pretty sure that's not Sony & more to do with the governments of those countries.

​@@therealivydawg no, it's straight up sonys fault

​@therealivydawg do the Baltics have some kind of dictatorial governments? No. It's just Sony being Sony.

​@@therealivydawg indeed

Afaik they can play. Just can't buy the game.

It Is over, these are consequences, it's bullshit when you hear the opposite, what's actualy happening Is that Sony and steam are in burocratic hell to put the game back up

and they added another 3 or so countries, steam have confirmed its not steam that changed all the regions, it was sony, so the war is far from over...

@@DeaD1te so... You didn't Watch the video The 3 added countryes were part of an error and should have been with all the restricted countryes, It Is most likely valve's doing as valve Is the One imposing the ban, and right now it's more than over, they are Just solving burocracy to reverse the change

Oh gosh, let it go man..unless u going to go actually do something about it...anything to complain about aye

Buffing patrol numbers is frustrating too.

@@HansKlopekit wasn’t even a buff, they just fixed a bug which made the game play as intended

@@T3rr4T3rr0rif it was like that for 3 months…. It was intended lol it was definitely a buff.

@@T3rr4T3rr0r Except they didn't fix anything. They fucked something up, and now there IS no scaling to patrols, everyone has the exact same spawn rate as a 4 man team does, regardless of solo, duo or 3 man teams. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Fu6ddHejh0.html Whoever said they just "adjusted the spawn rates from 1/6 to 1/4 as originally intended" was completely talking out of their ass, because clearly they didn't do any internal testing to see if their change actually worked. Also, how do you develop a game for almost 8 years straight without noticing you didn't have enemy spawns working as intended in the first place?

Few thoughts about balancing. I’m not for “never nerf”. I bought super credits to support Arrowhead. However, I lost joy with the last balancing patches. Why: A big part the game is the feeling. Weapons have weight, enemies react to hits and we don’t scale only by HP. Great. BUT, the feeling is disturbed with enemy buffs. Trailer/early gameplay allows killing a bile titan via EAT headshot. Doesn't work now. Spawn increased. More big foes and less effective weapons. For casuals (me) this turns HD2 into a “runaway simulator” at high diff (which I need for progress by samples…). More skilled players probably enjoy the higher difficulty. That’s why I have some suggestions regarding the balancing: • Let heavy weapons be heavy hitters • Don’t try to balance the game like its an e-sports title. It isn’t • Don’t punish players for playing with 1 or 2 friends • Drastically increase difficulty for 8 and 9 (compared to 1-7), so “dad gamers” can get their progression (a bit slower) while enthusiasts can have their challenge • More diverse loadouts by enemy resistances (please no physical). Breaker incendiary gets less interesting a certain % of enemies may have fire resistance. Same for gas, lightning, etc. • Increase toughness of big enemies by adding ERA for heavy Automaton units. And a symbiosis with another armored bug that tanks a hit before the Titans head is vulnerable. Use small bugs riding a titan and throwing thorns in the direction of incoming EAT. Spawn these with normal enemies (while their share rises in high difficulties).

You can also buy katanas in the U.S. but not Japan lol

It is sony so anything they do don't make any sense😂

no this is not the case, just like with helldivers 2 japan has its own version of the game. this international version is not available to them.

The fact that people still believe this baffles me...

@@idontcare-ct7jmthis is not really true. Katanas are illegal in Japan unless considered art or important cultural symbols. Basically, you can’t carry it around in public, and it can’t leave the country, it has to just be displayed. Sort of like how in America, I am pretty sure you can’t carry a katana into subway

Well, unfortunately, we can't review Sony as a publisher on Steam. So the only outlet we have to voice our disapproval is through the game's reviews. Yes it sucks that a great game like HD2 is being negatively reviewed for something their publisher is responsible for, BUT THAT'S HOW TO WORLD WORKS. Sometimes, the people who face the consequences for something aren't the ones who made the choice that led to those consequences in the first place. The negative reviews WILL BE REVERSED.... as soon as Sony decides to follow through on fully removing the PSN requirement on Steam & re-listing the game in the 170+ countries it has been pulled from.

@@Secret_Takodachi I am afraid they will not lease the regional "buying ban", they were only obligated to do something to already sold copies within a law. But now they are doing their steam page within their TOS requirements and managing it within their PSN. Someone "hecked up" on release just allowing so much. And now they are just "fixing their errors". So I would not bet on that sony will go against their TOS within new sellings. You see there is a licensing thing and you cannot sell everywhere if you can only obtained regional licenses due to your, or license department choice.

Democracy

ILLUMINATE OR NOT ITS STILL TASTING THE AUTOCANNON🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

@@Sleepyguy4125HEY! No old world flags allowed only Super Earth! Reconsider your actions or risk being reported to the Democracy officer

@@xnotasweatxcringe

​@@rvril This one right here Democracy Officer!

Not his role, the balance devs are in charge of that

​@calebsum His role is to manage the company, which includes making good decision over who is in charge of balancing

@Mark-uk8wz that I do agree with

You all should stop effing whining over every damn thing. That's why the Damn nerfs are ruining the game.. because of yall

No way any team can test weapons better than 1000s of players. This is how it breaks down. We can get power creep weapons that require nerf down the road (still mopping up tears from the erupter nerf) or can get underwhelming warbonds that get buffed later on. Also, by having the new war bonds at the level they are at makes it less necessary to get them to be competitive. I like that so much more than "you NEED this warbond because it's statically better than every other one," especially in a game where non meta kicks were the norm.

In fact the developers of DRG tried to get Arrowhead’s attention by playing the game for a couple of hours and while recording their game play, they asked if they could work together on a collab or a game.

ROCK AND STONE!!!

they are not doing colabs or crossovers

@@gamerbeast3616 true Arrowhead doesn’t want to do cross overs , but just saying that the devs in DRG wanted to.

Hell yeah! Rock and Stone! ⛏️

it is a real problem with the current major order because you need ppl to rack up scores but in general taking planets and such adjusts itself to the active helldivers online so this statement is just not true. it is only a matter of the player base concentrating on the task.

Bro thinks half the player base is in those countries 💀

The game has been around 100 to 140K average on steam for months literally nothing has changed lol.

Not of Joel is doing his job right, they can monitor player activity and scale these things to player behaviors.

Can you please not overexaggerate the situation. Saying it prevents half of the player base from playing when in fact, most of those nations are some of the poorest in the world, makes us look stupid.

Not until they fix things. Otherwise, not diving. Haven't in a week. Feel no urge to. And the 4 others I know. Waste of time.

Not sure why nobody is talking about it, is it that rare? I’ve had it happen to me many times, I almost empty my weapon, reload, the reload animation plays out but the gun is empty……

That bug has gotten me killed more than once, thought it was a skill issue on my part but i waited for the diver to charge the handle and the mag to go white on the UI. Still pop off one shot and back to reloading.

@@leonc9760 not just that but i look on the bottom left and it says its reloaded, full clip. i go to shoot and he reloads AGAIN without me actually hitting the key

@@leonc9760 and its not rare happens to me every single match. people are retarded and just say skill issue instead of reporting it

@@RecluseBootsy EXACTLY this shit needs reported to arrowhead immediately

i'm boutta flip their light switches.

I wouldn' t be so excited if I were you

Nice! Now they can fuck us as hard as the gun nerfs!

You're going to be flipping that enthusiasm to rage real soon. Here's a quick rundown of the Illuminate: 1) All of their units have shields 2) They can project force walls to box helldivers in and prevent them from fleeing 3) They can reverse all of your inputs 4) They can mind control and force you to kill your teammates In the first game, it wasn't uncommon for people to completely eliminate the terminids and cyborgs only to get pushed all the way back to Super Earth by the illuminate alone.

@@qu1253 i think this is just a bunch of illuminate propaganda to make us scared and decrease our morale. bring it on, lightbulbs with legs.

Accounts lead to subscriptions Subscriptions lead to steady cash flow Steady cash flow leads to stocks going up Stocks going up is a fiduciary responsibility So requiring PSN accounts is probably a fiduciary responsibility for Sony

@@TheJBergnot alienating your playerbase for your most popular game in years is also fiduciary duty. Making as many sales as possible is more important than fake PSN numbers.

@fullstackweebdev4855 the "two in the bush" that Sony is chasing after is hitting critical mass on launching their PSN store so all their games are there. They do need time to process the legal framework for their games to work in PSN banned countries.

Yeah, I’ve been wanting to say that for awhile now. The thing is technically Sony never promised they would never do PSN right? So Steam cannot take it back until Sony promises they’re not gonna do PSN. Because if they do, they can get in some quite big deep legal shit. So basically steam is forcing Sony’s hand to either side with the player base fully or go back on their shit now and require PSN.

@@hi-rez-legend4870 I bet KuSony is planning to make a PC Playstation launcher app and lock all their games on that in the future.

Same. I expect things to happen when the devs are back from the long weekend.

same here

Sayng that as if they aren't working towards that, like protesting a truck blocking the road while set truck Is moving to free the road

It can be played, if just cannot be bought

No one cares

They've done a pretty good job so far of referencing other sci-fi while still keeping to their own artstyle, which is impressive

Sony may ban the game off PlayStation if there salty enough if the devs do that. Also, don’t think the devs have the money for it. Most of the money prob going to sony

From what I've heard the helldivers IP belongs to Sony, so it wouldn't "just" be publishing rights but buying the whole IP. It's highly unlikely that Sony would even consider selling that, and even if they did, it would be way too expensive for Arrowhead.

That’s tuff, dbd bought their rights for around 10+ millions, but they are paying it through royalties not all at once if I’m correct, but might be a lil different with a direct ip with Sony.

Japan has specific laws about microtransactions, made so that if you buy in-game currencies that you do not use, the game has to refund them when it close. So they have specific versions.

They actually developed it you dolt

Some armours seem to be inspired by it and the LAS in the laser weapons could be as laser weapons atleast for the IOM are called las weapons

You also have the jar-5 dominator that shoots like a boltgun .

The illuminate were not eradicated they were cast out from the galaxy and were forced to demilitarise

@@emojothejojo Cool, I had only heard it by ear about their lore since I joined a couple days before the sequel dropped

Every gun I touch feels like it's missing something, it's horrible.

it even has a predator mouth!

What's wrong with the patrols?

​@@therealivydawg everything. Basically they jacked up enemy spawns and pretty much wrecked all of our weapons. Not. Fun.

​@@Max_Ohmyeah I've been in a four man party before and lost one and almost immediately a difference in difficulty just because we are missing one guy it's ridiculous I don't even want to know what solo is like

Well technically lol they would be the "good version" of us, I still support what you're saying though

@@Cloudaddy220 Do i smell treason?

​@@Cloudaddy220I don't want to assume nothing but this seems very treasonous 🤨

@@Cloudaddy220 reported to a democracy officer.

I'm strongly suspicious that most of these stories are people being attacked by those spiky seed pod plants.

Was about to post exactly that, noticed it yesterday. I have the ship module that enables you to max load on magazines for support weapons with resupplies, but still only got three AMR mags from my supply backpack. Supply backpacks are supposed to be exactly the same as resupply ones.

@@thelegendaryklobb2879guess it’s still bugged…..awesome

And yet it makes perfect sense because you get two grenades from a supply pack also. And unlike grenades you actually get one from an ammo pack. Grenades are a big deal.

@@kamikeserpentail3778 makes no sense, or get the grenade launcher half a mag from a box ? Its a weapon and no grenades.

We could find the drillers starting helmet or something that would be wild

He was only talking about the 3 new countries added.

Because asking the government to do something is like taking a sledgehammer to crack open a nut.

I can kind of agree on the stratagem argument but only because decreased cooldown would be more fun. Right now you have everything you need to handle everything. The guns truly aren't garbage.

@@kamikeserpentail3778 The way they slashed ammo capacity was such a dumb move. You can tell the skill of an artist by their brush strokes and you can tell the skill of a surgeon by their cuts. Whoever is making these changes is basically just slathering a blunt paint brush all over a canvas, and hoping it turns into a good painting.

Technically so was Helldivers but the launch state was overwhelming for them so they delayed it to focus on server stability and player benefits to the point we all didn’t think about it. If the requirement was heavily enforced day one along with the server issues then we could’ve been in a different timeline of the game peaking at maybe 30k-50k
