[@TheRealOffnem]

@@DoesNotInhaleso much wrong info in that sentence, NO the AC being kernel level is not a problem, all good ACs use kernel level (for example easy anti cheat, and battleye) and it is not the reason for the server outage, there are way to many people playing the game so no one can get into the servers, they are full. The real problem about the AC is that it’s old as hell and dog💩 so it likes to shut down important processes (like SSD system management files) please do research before echoing the review bombs everyone is doing

[@jocosesonata]

On that note, I feel like the armour should offer _some_ protection against bullets. So a shot to the head isn't a 1-hit kill. *Instead it's a 2-hit kill!* Gotta give your fellow Helldiver a second chance to not stand in the line of fire. But if they continue to stand there, that's their fault.

What I'd love to see is an occasional special community event that involves a larger number of players in a single lobby; probably a final push for the complete liberation of a planet. That'd be kinda cool imo. Edit: to expand on this, it wouldn't just be a full liberation of a planet. Instead, it'd be part of a pivotal moment ie. the invasion of Super Earth or liberation of a significant Terminid or Automaton stronghold planet (the final planet of a sector, for example).

[@KRG658]

That would be amazing and if you die while doing it you automatically come back but at the back of the push so you have to make your way forward to the front line.

Like dude nobody asked for GTA 6 to have a budget of one billion dollars. That's not on the customer. There's so many great games coming out on a budget these days that prove that you don't NEED these budgets to make a good game.

My main gripe in game is how the armor system is implemented. It has basic passive skill pairings and doesn't really mix them up. This results in a lot of redundant armor, including 2 of the armors in the premium Warbond being the exact same passive and armor type(2 mediums) without a light version which was odd

[@zinthos0019]

Well the premium is just meant to be extra of stuff you can get in the normal warbond, not stuff that’s as good or better than the free one

The main issue i have with most defense missions are the map is mostly a fixed set up that doesn't really allow for super samples to appear, heck I'm not sure even rares can appear, not to mention half of the defense missions are 15min or less so you don't get time to explore if you get a larger map like essential evac, then you have the tiny horde elimination missions, and recently the termicide towers, couldn't even find a rare sample when I went exploring. Most defense missions aren't worth doing above like difficulty 4 as it just makes things harder for real extra benefit beyond the reward multiplier at the end if you don't get swarmed by heavy armor mobs and end up failing
