I couldn't agree more with the comment on the end. I like to try different builds, there are a lot of things that are fun, but can lead to "oh shit, this maps has bile spewers, i guess i ll be useless". A cool idea would be to have the option to "scan the map" before you dive, and that will show you the types of mobs present, but will increase their numbers by x%.

[@Steir12]

They should just plain tell you "it's a bile spewer extravaganza mission" before launch or "Stalker presence". Not knowing what kind of bugs will be there forces you to play jack of all trades builds all the time and its unhealthy for the game.

[@kato093]

More than just telling you, I'd rather them add actual mutators instead of the dumb 50% longer stratagem call and 25% longer cool down. Like all small mobs are hunters and all medium enemies are stalkers, or bile spheres and chargers only, 10 times more bugs but it's all small bugs. Imagine a map made up of only shriekers, stalkers and chargers.

I got to run airburst launcher for the first time a few days ago. Was a pretty fun session. No friendly fire deaths and literally one shot an entire patrol.

Based on AH balancing history, expect fire damage to be nerfed into the ground next balance update.

[@gage1bradford198]

The stupid thing about that is that they gave us a module to spend our samples on that increases fire damage by 25 percent but if they nerf it we are essentially getting scammed out of the samples. Do you know if the last 15 percent decrease goes towards damage we do or damage we take? If it’s damage we do then we have already been scammed and that module is now only 10 percent more.

[@jakemaxwell3810]

Y'all are so negative lol. AH buffs 2 weapons for every nerf and its never good enough. It's like you still want to only use railgun and nothing else. Balance is good for the game.

Yup, they royalled effed the game up for anyone not in a full group. But they keep hanging on to this, "we only changed the percentage by 8,9%" stat. The actual in-game impact (with some stealth changes undocumented and unaccounted for I have no doubt) has no bearing or relationship to their intended 'bug fix for patrols'.

[@KsnypsAdventures]

I am so happy the orbital fart strike has been made useful in multiplayer. No more trash mobs coming out of bug breaches, I can finally focus on the big stuff. And with multiple gas strikes now working per team, they’ll essentially have nonexistent intervals. At last, I can cloud the map in toxic gas that will actually damage things

[@DrauulGaming]

OK that spewer multikill with the nade pistol was insanity. I've never seen it splash like that. You got a goddamn turkey.

[@schattensonner]

I think the increased Patrols/enemies per missing player should be reversed/mirrored.. 4 ppl can handle more than a single person.. Logic.. They should give an incentive to play as a group, get another 10/25% bonus resources/samples,whatever for 2/4 ppl groups for example.. After the patrol change I had to drop difficulty so much so I cant really progress anymore other than filling the few missing strategems.. Ship upgrades are out of the equation.. By now my last hope is that at some point we might be able to exchange lower samples into higher ones..

[@mkaleborn]

I'm with you all the way man. Here's the thing: Whether we are solo or in a 4-man group, how many patrols spawn *at the same time*. Only 1. And the ability of a 4-man team to shut down a single patrol/breach is orders of magnitude greater then a single person. By the time a single person finishes the patrol, breach, and possible aggro from a nearby POI they are getting hit with another patrol. Then another breach, then more aggro. And they only have so many strategems, ammo and key things off cooldown. So the time to kill those 2nd and 3rd spawns increases....leading to another patrol etc. So we are forced into a narrow style of gameplay of simply running for our lives constantly. And if an invisible Stalker insta-kills you, there goes your gear and you have to run in to the thick of the huge mass of mobs to recover it. Or run further away, typically from your Objective. And the cycle never really stops. Difficulty for less then full groups was massively impacted by that so-called 8-9% 'increase' in patrols. Due to how actual gameplay works, it essentially means non-stop fighting at levels 5 and up. And it's tiresome. I can play one or 2 matches a night and I'm exhausted and stressed out. And if I was unlucky, one or both resulted in zero samples. I don't like playing video games (or any other game) with total strangers. So if my small group of friends aren't online...I'm solo. And the game is pushing me away. It's tough.

[@jakemaxwell3810]

You seem to have not read the patch notes. Full squads have 4 times as many patrols spawn as solo play. That goes up further if the squad spreads out too far. The benefit of playing with others is that it's easier lmao. Especially with good teamwork/communication. It also gives you more chances at samples.

[@schattensonner]

@@jakemaxwell3810 I know that teamplay and a full team to begin with make it easier. But lets just keep it short with saying I cant play with randoms, at least not more than 1 or MAX 2 missions before I have to call quits for the day. Regarding the patch notes- they literally said that the increase in patrols will be most noticeable in solo play, less in duos , even less in trios .. While 4 Player teams see nearly no change with that patch. Of course, 4 people spread out will attract/spawn more patrols than a solo player will.. But that doesnt change the amount/rate of patrols per person in favour of your argument.. And remember a Squaddie has the rest of the squad as backup.. They have support. 4 Divers have exponenential more power to deal with - just anything.. As solo player you get flung into a death spiral way to fast now. No one covers you when you need to reload, etc., etc. So balancing patrols/gameplay off the base of 1 helldiver having 1/4th of the power as a full squad has is nuts. And just because there were people running Max Diff solo without that much problems before doesnt mean that everyone can do that.. It feels like the changes in the end just revolved on those two points..And imho they just overdid it..

Do you think they're going to nerf the breaker incendiary now with the fire damage actually functioning?

[@mkaleborn]

They shouldn't, because it was already working just fine - For solo players. And it's effective at it's job. We have to just stop nerfing guns that are actually effective. It's a very important tool for the massive amounts of hordes we now face, especially Solo players like myself. They are endless. Wave after wave after wave. And unless you have just the right load-out, you may have Airburst on cooldown, or no room for Cluster, etc. Make other weapons effective and *really* good to use. Difficulties 5+ got massively more difficult in the last patch, pretty much outstripping most weapon loadouts to keep up unless you are in a well-drilled 4-man unit. We need more firepower for all weapons, not less - And the ability to play the game as we like: Solo, with a buddy, etc.

@@mkaleborn here's hoping man! They definitely scaled up the difficulty for anything less than 4 man squads. Tried to do a level 7 blitz against the bugs yesterday with just me and one other buddy, WOW it felt harder than my level 9 dives. Absolutely ridiculous, hopefully the devs will go easy on it I haven't bought a warbond yet and I reusant to try out the incendiary breaker now that it works correctly. Just don't want to end up regretting the purchase 😅

Flamethrower ftw!! My fav weapon:) Just wish i had more flame proof armor 😂

[@ThatOliveMrT]

If they ever make a fire resist armor I hope the descriprion says made with super asbestos

I know the list said about misaligned scopes being fixed, but is the AMR's scope actually fixed?

[@OhDough]

seems like it is. the hmg isn't and neither is the jar

[@AstrusEminus]

AMR is fixed. You don't need to compensate for the misaligned scope at all anymore.

[@endlesstrash4718]

​@@OhDoughFrom what I remember the sniper scope was blatantly bugged, which they seem to have fixed. The HMG's problem seems to be that it doesn't take into account height over bore. The JAR might also have that problem, but since it shoots gyrojets it actually hits where you aim at around 75-100m.

Hey Dough, new viewer here, I've heard you say how solo is important to test loadouts and gear, while I agree, I'm unsure if it's that is enough to wager the effectiveness of a loadout. Because in solo you have to get a loadout that has an "answer" to every enemy the faction throws at you. In coop the *team* needs to have an answer to everything. My point being you may get a lot more impact with certain weapons and gear if other members fill out your weaknesses with their loadouts. Perhaps AH wants players to specialize their loadout to deal with certain types of enemies instead of being a jack of all trades that deals with everything effectively? That could explain their "negligence" towards solo players. Let me know your thoughts.

[@OhDough]

the balance team for this game is just inept at making meaningful changes. They've done nothing but pump arbitrary difficulty into the game and force players to use boring stratagems since they refuse to buff the ones that are useless. what AH wants is beyond me at this point. I don't even think they know what they want.

[@ignitron2710]

@@OhDough I see, speaking of meanigful changes, have you tried the eruptor changes?

[@JohnGrahamDoe]

@@ignitron2710 Eruptor is underperforming right now, community manager relayed this info from the devs in the discord server. It should see a bit of a performance increase hopefully soon. For now, it's not in a great place. To build off your question about team balance, the theory is sound, and that is what they've stated they're trying to do: balance the game so that different members specialize in different things. The problem is, nothing they've done actually supports this supposed philosophy. For example, the bug missions at the highest level have a very stale "meta," where practically everyone is forced to bring the 500 KG and some sort of rocket to deal with Bile Titans + chargers. Everyone on the team. Why? Because SOMETIMES, you get hit with 5 Bile Titans at once. Sometimes. Fairly often. And unless your entire team has answers (mind you many of them might be on cool down thanks to increased cool down modifiers), you are screwed. You either die, or have to just run away for several minutes. Not very fun. Ideally the game would be balanced such that one or two folks could take on anti-armor roles, and having four anti-armor members would severely handicap the team. But that's not the case. Because there's just too many armored enemies and anti-armor tech is way too inefficient. You HAVE to bring the 500KG, because it gives you two bombs that one shot Bile Titans. It's the ONLY one shot anti-Bile Titan weapon in the game (aside from Orbital Precision Strike, which only has a single use before cool down and can be rendered useless by the orbital scatter modifier). As such, you see very stale loadouts where EVERYONE brings 500kg, Quasar, Laser Rover to keep yourself safe while charging up Quasar, and only a single flex slot for a fourth stratagem. Essentially, they say that they want to balance the game for variety, but their actions do the complete opposite. But making anything good worse, they just increase the need for the only good answers. I personally believe rockets should one shot Bile Titans in the head if aimed properly. That's how it works in the cinematic trailer! Then there would be much less reliance on every single player needing rockets, and every single player needing to build around the armored enemies. But AH will never do that, because reasons I guess.

[@ignitron2710]

@@JohnGrahamDoe Makes sense. Because the only way to prevent high armor pen weapons to be superior vs every enemy type is by making lower armour pen weapons much more efficient at clearing fodder (high armor pen options have limited use/low ammo) If the game just saturates the place with high armoured enemies then everyone has to take those options. Maybe they need to lower the amount cap of bile titans on the map. I do notice that bugs suffer from this issue a lot more than automations. That could be because their weak points aren't as armoured allowing several options to deal with them.
