Helldivers 2 This Is Happening?! Limited Time Events?!

[@RazzleTheRed1]

I'd argue that they've already done limited time events, remember the termicide towers mission? Remember when we were pumping Meridia full of dark matter? Both of those mission types are no longer available. As long as it doesn't come with limited time weapons, armors or stratagems I think that missions are fine.

[@Degarth]

Like the dark matter jump pack.

[@afroamasiaca]

I’m for limited things or even a trickle. Having something that’s tied to commemoration or an achievement makes it special. The same way each Helldiver has to get through basic training, say there’s a cape that’s for shooting down a gunship. Anyone that sees you with it knows you’re capable of that task, or cheated to get it lol. I like to reference the old halo hayabusa armor. It was sick, you had to earn it, and everyone knew the prestige of earning it.

[@achiiiesheal]

I'd argue the game needs events. Look at the player count before and after the illuminate events. I'm a hardcore player and I'm out of things to do and have put it down. Will casuals fund the development with transactions? Or do we need more things that increase player engagement

[@lolersauresrex8837]

Yeah but the fundamental thing that needs to be understood is that the political satire in Helldivers is in service to the game, the game is not a vehicle for the political satire. Any art that is in service to politics is definitionally propaganda.

[@sarbe6625]

Then like, 90% of all art is propaganda. Even art that sticks to things that are "normal" is in service of politics because the very assertion of what is and is not normal is already a political stance.

[@lolersauresrex8837]

@ what you’re describing is a position that some people hold, if you take the “*everything* is political stance. I’ll even concede that MOST art IS propaganda. But I won’t concede that the production of art is inherently political because it takes normative things as given.. that’s an exhausting worldview - and I don’t think that’s how you phenomenologically experience reality.

3:52 Johan Pilestedt has done both "Make good games" and "make a contemporary political statement." with Helldivers 1 and Helldivers 2. While HD1 focused more on parodying the gulf wars it also parodies the bush era global war on terror which was as contemporary as it gets(Operation Enduring Freedom ended 2014, Helldivers 1 was released on 2015). In Helldivers 2 merely 8 months ago they made fun of how the russian state portrays and downplays their current war. But there's nuance to this. Lets call this nuance the difference between political activism vs. political art and how that difference is influenced by audience expectations(ex: something non-politicized in one country is politically taboo in another). in an autodesk interview posted December 14 2015 Pilestedt does admit to being politically obsessed at least at the time. The gamingbolt interview they had with Pilestedt posted on 13th, Feb. 2014 is similar.

They are not allowing high ground turrets because it alleviates the friendly fire possibilities, and friendly fire is absolute fun, right?

To explain dei (diversity equity inclusion) its intended purpose is to push for views outside of just straight white guys.

So now if theres a random gay character in a piece of media and it flops they scream that it was because they were trying to force dei down our throats and not because it was terrible writing. Now devs whatever their actual views are, have to be extremely vague or risk alienating 20% of their american audience. Any time you see dei you can usually ignore whoever that person is.

[@benevolentwisdom]

I think it would be interesting to see the illuminates fighting the Bugs and/or Automatons as well. Once their borders hit each other you can find planets on the line that have missions to interfere with their fighting. Going into the planet you can find the enemy factions in a full out war and your mission is to sway a side or gather intel and materials in between their fighting. You could have mission consequences where if you are found to be interfering it could add to diplomacy or ally-ship between the enemy factions against super earth.

As long as the limited time events don't have anything too impactful that people would complain about if they don't have it i.e weapons/armor that look different but play the exact same way another variant of it would and then making it unavailable to anyone who wasn't there (Yes this is sadly a thing people would complain about) then i'd see no reason not to add in limited time events! I loved the original termacide towers and the dark fluid missions, they were so unique and added a dynamic to the game that it really needed and kinda still does honestly. The Jar-5 varient imho shouldn't be that type of thing...perhaps adding an AP/HE option to the gun itself would be great but thermite and gas variants should be added to the grenade launcher instead to give it a more fun impact to the game other then "That one weapon you might bring on a bug blitz mission".

[@Zephxxr]

If they do come out with attachments and customizations for guns, it’s going to be weird with some guns. In HD1 you could change rate of fire, ammo types, mags, etc., but in HD2 you already have access to variants like breaker, breaker spray and pray, and breaker incendiary along with liberator, liberator penetrator, liberator concussive, and liberator carbine. If attachments do get added, it’s prob not going to be the same as in HD1 as the use for some attachments is already filled by existing variants.

about the support weapon to repair and restock vehicles we could have a wrench as secondary weapon that could work as a melee weapon as well

[@samwilkinson9309]

Helldivers 1 had a healing support gun that fired a healing beam that also repaired vehicles, I feel that'd be good for a support weapon for repair. It'd be stronger than the stim pistol but it would be a support weapon so that would be fair I feel. It might also do a better job of promoting fighting in at least pairs, more so than support backpacks do as the reload isn't much of a hindrance compared to having 1 less person shooting, but being near to heal would be good, also a good option for players that like a supportive playstyle. As for the DEI thing, I think people are chalking it up to you're either for or against, where as he feels like he's saying he has no problem with people like that but he's not going to put it in to the detriment of his game which is 100% fair.

Two slots would be a lot for one Helldiver, but if you've got a squad, one person takes a vehicle, one person takes the repair support, makes complete sense. I could see it being a secondary or even a grenade slot though. I'd love to see gas rounds and thermite rounds for the Eruptor, it really needs a buff at the moment as the Crossbow is just better in every way. I'd like to see the maximum range removed or at least extended a lot, and the shrapnel effect actually reduced a lot. I've had numerous instances where a helldiver 50m from the impact site has died to shrapnel and that's just silly and really makes it a risk to use.

Worse part with sentry and supports is that it bounces on quite a lot of elevated terrain (even if a couple metres high) but you can get them stuck on mountains that over hang if you drop it underneath them (common on terminid maps for that terrain) So you can clearly get sentry that high up and they work well if you have any explosive/shell based ones.

Like instead of entirely new enemies they literally just reskin the existing ones. Blue bile spewers and reskin the warrior to look like an arachnid warrior bug. I like this idea a lot.

I just LOVE the variant versions of guns. It would revolutionize the way I build my loadouts. I really hope that the variants will be part of the weapons customization system that's supposed to be coming. FR a thermite dominator would be PEEEEEAAAAAAAKKKK!

[@la_jefe9105]

I got a pretty simple idea for a melee weapon. Just a longsword that you hold with one hand but when you “switch the firing mode” you’re able to switch to holding it with two hands. One handed attacks are faster but weaker meanwhile two handed attacks are slower yet deadlier

[@HelldiverHoggarth]

I'll fix this one for you cloud. Limited time event where in certain bug planets reports of a humanoid type foe with stalker like capabilities. Boom predator event. Done take my money. Reward his helmet and shoulder cannon

[@cloudplays]

😂 amazing

[@Stnkynuggz1252]

There is an armor that has a thing on the shoulder but a predator helmet would look amazing

[@horrorfan117]

Honestly, I'd expect more of a wink and a nudge for this kind of crossover. Using a specialized unit like the Jet Brigade to reference other franchises. Imagine the Terminator Corps. Increase levels of Heavy Devistators spawns (with tricked out chrome coloring), but much lower spawns of anything else. Or the Predator Brood. Where all secondary objectives are Stalker nests with tougher variants. And now the Illuminate are here we could have "The Invaders" which are nothing but Harvester spawns to reference War of the Worlds. Best thing about going this route the enemies could periodically reform these different groups and send them back out. Making for reoccurring events.

[@TomDulson]

No linited time event promise clearly referred to unlockable items. Changing enemues for a limited time (eg reskinning terminids as tyranids) would have to be limited time otherwise the enemies become a permanent mishmash.

[@woodenspider]

On the terms of crossovers I think it would be amazing if to announce the game coming to xbox they did it with an ODST pack

[@ashgonza92]

Helldivers X Starship Troopers seems like the most obvious collaboration

[@deathless_actual4936]

For the vehicle repair item, what about a secondary? I’d trade my grenade pistol for a wrench that doubles a blunt melee and being able to replace the wheels on my truck

[@ipodman505]

I sure hope that if and when they add suppressors they don't make the horrible mistake that most game make of making suppressed guns do less damage... A suppressor will increase muzzle velocity (although by a small amount) which will lead to a slight increase in damage especially over range. The only downside to a suppressor should be a slight hit to ergonomics if anything. Please arrowhead, do suppressors right, I have faith!

[@achiiiesheal]

Enemys event would be amazing. It could easily fit into the game. For a rough example, automaton could find texh/ hard drives from sky net and implement t100s on the battlefields. After so long they decide they were not the best use of resource and stop production. It's basically what they do with the jet brigade

[@alf3052]

Sounds like a great idea. Anything new to the game within 2.5 weeks apart is a good pace.. then you drop the big guns.🦍

[@Gamzeejunior]

Hear me out, in celebration of some of Helldivers biggest influences "anniversary events" where the enemies are reinforced by "Modified" enemies. Ex: Bile Spewers are modified to be Plasma Bugs from Starship Troopers, The Automatons discover limited numbers of Old Earth robots known as T-800's (Terminator), etc,

[@LaserTractor]

Bad take Collabs must be super tempered No magic bs like this

[@Razumen]

I too hate how strategems arbitrarily bounce, especially on seemingly random surfaces, and ESPECIALLY on top of rocks you can get on top of. It just makes no sense, let us call strats where we want them.

[@matthewsteele99]

I think an enemy crossover can be done with deep rock with a deeprock bug being added to the terminid roster

[@Jargonecius]

How about a secondary weapon to repair and re-arm? Just go full meme and make it the TF2 wrench that also functions as a melee weapon, maybe bonus damage against constructs?

[@Fyreworx]

Seeing some DRG bugs cropping up on a planet would be fun.

[@hav1_k]

They could just make the crossover factions enemies illuminate illusions to keep it within main lore

[@johnthomson3827]

if your just gonna brush past the CM thing without so much as looking into it, should you even bring it up? yes the CM's in the discord are "that way", everyone i hang out with left it months ago. (youtube censors certain terms and phrases)

[@xetyres]

@Cloudplay awesome video 💯

[@WWNbroadcasts]

They need to add 8 players and missions where you investigate colonies for enemies to recreate the scene from aliens I beg 😭

[@morphine4urpain385]

With a time limited event, they could definitely do dead space. I saw someone talk about it in a previous video. We could stumble across a planet with a marker and it could easily fit in to being cannon that way. And the objective of course to destroy it, which then can easily be a time limited event that can be brought back because you can always do like what dead space does by having someone get the blueprint of a maker imprinted in them and have another marker built again causing to have the event happen again. Bam they should totally do it now, give me that plasma cutter now😂. Pulse rifle would also be really cool to have as a weapon when it comes to having it fit in with the game. Only other gun I could possibly see fitting in would be like more something from Dead Space 3 but idk how that would work given it’s all mainly craft able weapons. Also if it could go the route of being able to come back the way I said then there will be no fomo

[@s23900]

My idea is give us more strategem spots to unlock. Maybe limit the extra strategem slots to air strikes only or vehicles only.

[@blazehydra]

Limited time enemies=fine and good Limited time collabs goods=only if the pricing is ok, ample time is given as well

[@squarebuggz6309]

It would be nice to see the cyborgs from HD1 for a weekend event. We attack Cyberstan, both the bots and Cyborgs are there. Major battle happens and we take out the last of the Cyborgs?

[@DioBrando-qi9so]

2:47 A new enemy of a faction as part as a collab? i could totaly see a sc2 zerg, wh40k nid as a new units of the bugs or a sc2 protoss as a part of the squids. Of course always with a little designchange to match the colours of the normal enemy units.

[@ryanartward]

DEI to me is not about celebrating diversity, but of simple-minded company execs treating talented human beings like ingredients for passable fast food burgers. People make excellent interactive art because they are a group that is passionate about it. We saw the antithesis of that with Concord, a game that may have been excellent if they were not hindered by toxic positivity (Maybe their "professor" was a scientologist).

[@blackbeatsentertainment]

5:26 I think I mentioned it on a different channel but this would be a good opportunity for the Halo collaboration. The standard ODST silenced sub machine gun, the top fed pump action shotgun, and the classic AR. Along with the ODST armor with scout passive, and chief’s standard armor with maybe fortified or something new, maybe a mini armor field that protects you from some damage before you take lethal damage like in halo.

[@jakobmikota1543]

Ok, hear me out: For repairing and Rostocking the ammunition (somehow) A comicly lange Wrench, doubling as a Melee weapon!

[@LiquidSoapDrinker]

2:15 Glyphids from DRG as terminid variants

[@cloudplays]

Good example actually!!

[@matthewsteele99]

Imagine a terminid Warden?

[@kesn8317]

enemy crossovers: cylons eagles are now vipers, kara thrace voices them terminids: aliens (starship troopers has its own game, they would never agree to a crossover)

[@ThehandleSigmawasstolenfromme]

Strategems bounce off high cliffs, plateaus and and mountains because that is so overpowered that it makes the game trivial. It is purely balancing.

[@hassanghanim3966]

A limited crossover event is actually a great idea, lets us play and do major order or side order to unlock the crossover armor and weapons and then put them later in the store for the idiots who dont want to play to unlock them but them with super credit.

[@tired_void9860]

I'd love to see 2 armour sets wearing bits of bots and bugs strapped to it as trophies, but still clearly the helldivers armour

[@thegwolf]

Every event is limited time in a live service game. Now for availability of armor sets and weapons, it doesn't make any damn sense to me, because Arrowhead is shooting themselves in the foot. Say I have like 1000 supercredits laying around, hear of a crossover that I would like to get in on but having other obligations and life is happening, I can't get to the game until it is over. So now I'm not going to spend those supercredits nor will I feel to do anything more ingame than the usual stuff I do. If the crossover items get released as warbond or get to be part of the regular rotation of the store, that'll be fine, but one off stuff would be less than motivating.
