since we're already on green reddit I learned you can just guess the code to activate the planetary defense cannon on my first void mission

I love how Vote Snatchers is everything I hate about Mindless Masses, but even worse. Lazy as fuck "content" where they strip out twice the amount they add. Base Illuminate is best Illuminate, which is why we're never going to see it again or have it receive any updates. I cannot believe they dropped the void ost for this nontent update, there's no creepy cultist units to fit the vibe, just a few new objectives in recolored biomes.
 
holy shit dude. i tried the game for the first time since march because modders replaced automatons with 40K orks and the game now runs at 25 FPS. i used to keep the game locked at 45 and doubled it with lossless scaling. what the fuck did these stupid meatballs DO
ran like utter dogshit for me after reinstalling too, only thing that worked for me was running the game on dx11, makes the terminals opposite the armory unusable though
 
Do the Vote Snatchers really just spawn out of thin air, because it sure seems like it :lossmanjack:
Yes because there’s no snitch unit to call in reinforcements they just show up. Which makes doing anything near impossible because you’re constantly fighting off endless waves of enemies with no end to them.

And this is just for D fucking 5. I cannot imagine the absolute hell that D10 is. But of course you got the Reddit niggers that claim that D10 is easy say the spawns aren’t that bad and just say use a specific loadout.

Literally got into an argument with one such faggot claiming that D10 doesn’t spawn 20 crushers you only ever see a group of 4 and just bring heavy pen weapons.

But it’s not 4 crushers it’s always twenty and there’s another twenty on the way.

Sorry for the rant I fucking hate the Reddit side of Helldivers. They’re the most retarded of the community and Reddit being Reddit I can’t call them retard nigger faggots like I can on here or X without getting banned.
 
Only thing I like so far about this update is the SEAF support. Me and my homies love SEAF support

Do you not like 40% of your CPU usage being eaten up by the volumetric clouds 98% of players will never notice or care about?

There are clouds? I didn't notice past the smog or spores that are ever present on every fucking planet
 
Current order has reached the center planet of the Void corruption, with it comes a new interesting mission type. They released a whole trailer talking about it.

TL;DW, it's a mission type that you can get within an Operation where you are given a random set of main objectives that you must complete with no side objectives. It's a cool idea, would be nice to see this on other factions but whatever. So far this whole Illuminate Void arc is really disappointing, I'm still coping and hoping that the cultists are gonna randomly show up after this order or something, because this just can't be it...

every mod manager should come preinstalled with the fog remover mod

I still remember two years ago when they first got leaked in a fully playable state and I assumed they had to be added eventually if they were that close to completion
they're gone, /b/ro...

But it's volumetric fog! It's like normal fog but it takes up way more system resources so you can enjoy fancy lighting effects interacting with the fog so you can't see shit. Isn't it great? Blinding yourself every time you shoot the laser cannon is a feature

Alright I'm done larping as a glaze diver if I keep this up I'm going to want to hang my self

It definitely doesn’t feel as hype as Cyberstan, and having the Vote Snatchers just appear out of thin air is lazy. Doesn’t seem like the devs know what to do with the Illuminate.

Devs didn’t even know what to do with them HD1. Especially since even HD1 players hated playing squids. Some things never change

Yeah my game is practically unplayable even at lowest settings. Idk what they really changed but it was around the first super earth invasion
 
they basically have every illuminate faction on the void source planet now and it's the most intense the illuminate have ever felt. LVL 10s are fucking hard but unlike cyberstan with the right builds it's possible to win and actually be fun

current build:
Torcher
Verdict
Meltamine
with
the 40k armor
Machine Gun
Teleportation Backpack
Orbital Gas
Eagle Strafe

Most fun I've had with the illuminate since the battle of super earth
 
All this and there's still no fucking cultists.
I wouldn't count the cultists as a lost cause, like yeah maybe for this update but the votesnatchers are a good addition as more chaff and I think the crushers are way better then fleshmobs to fight. Like has arrowhead actually confirmed they aren't coming?

the original gimmick of the Illuminate having high hp with light armor and making up for it with ablative and energy shielding worked perfectly. This countered powerful single shot weapons that would normally work for both other factions and instead encouraged high volumes of fire to expose weak spots you could take advantage of with more powerful or precise weapons, their main issue on launch was that they had literally no content (see the video for why)
then they had the genius idea of adding an infinite range warship unit dressed head to toe in anti tank that was so shittily designed they gave up on making it work and limited it to exclusively spawning on city missions and went all in on zombieslop

I think the appropriators are some of the most well designed Illuminate units even if I think watchers are annoying as shit - and the Illuminate in general are far more fleshed out with the new subfaction mix and matching they've been doing - but the zombie dead space shit is clearly not the right direction and they need to drop it asap. If not cultists, give us more mechs or biomechanical monstrosities like the harvesters. most people have forgotten by now but the original cultist leaks also had a harverster-like enemy called the Sentinel which I think fired balls of energy or something?
Like has arrowhead actually confirmed they aren't coming?
the cultists were leaked over two years ago which should already kill any hope in your soul. I don't think arrowhead has ever outright stated they're cut, but most people take this ambiguous statement in this interview with the game director as the explanation for why they were removed and why they probably won't ever come back

Well they're doing some kind of story element with this MO with the 20 11 scientist team and the DSS now just moving to Calypso which was the first planet the Squids attacked when they where added.
