Tenderizer got the shaft when it came out due to the standard Liberator getting buffed up to where the Tenderizer released at. Also, this War Bond was probably half baked before they changed gears, dropping the other weapons and armor planned to try to tighten up the theme and putting in the paint/patterns to fill space.

@karadrazbliss9865 your reply was sent to me. So I responded as I thought you were addressing me. Regardless I have to also say that "don't buy the warbond" won't help the player count. People are being negative because the devs are being stupid and instead of listening to the community they are choosing to basically ensure that the content they slap together is what NOBODY save for maybe 5 of their lapdogs want. This is the issue. There were many great suggestions for alternatives surrounding Viper Commandos (not just from myself) and many are within the realm of possibility for the game (I.e. does not require additional design or input). The fact that they chose to go with a knife is simply not the right idea. Hence why I said that the sentiment can flip IF it is done very well, but based on what was shown to us and the description in the blog, expectations are extremely low and rightfully so. Arrowhead put themselves in this position unfortunately and any customer facing job that fails to listen to its customers will reap what they sow. An example is "The First Descendant" they responded to feedback within 2 weeks and made meaningful changes based on customer feedback before the launch of their game. They want it to go well. Arrowhead on the other hand seems to still be acting like they know their game better than those playing and trying to keep it alive daily, which is probably not good long term.

You have pretty good ideas all around and a good understanding of what would actually be fun. The concept of your idea of the armor passive with the fast crouch and prone sounds interesting, this game has so much armor and most of them do the same thing. It's ambitious but I feel like every armour should have it's own passive. Why make so many and give armour stats if they are interchangble.

I think it would have a very limited usage compared to more solid picks and giving up muscle enhancement or motivational shocks for it would be just plain silly. Muscle enhancement literally helps you evade most things by ignoring almost all terrain. So a 6 second boost versus permanent mobility to clear a mission at high speed? I am doubtful it will be useful. I will still test it on release, but I can't see it being useful if the duration is anything less than 1 minute. The point is to stay jacked indefinitely, allowing it to combo with the medic perk for extra stims. Being OP is what the game should be about and funny strats like this, literally revived Diablo 4 because they finally let people run ridiculous builds. If we want the casual players back, this is the way. The struggle must be removed.

@RealAsianRobot 10% is crazy low I diddnt know that

It's gonna suck, isn't it? AH can't help themselves. The Sawn-off sidearm will do Senator-level dmg (120 - 150 max) with light armor penetration. Combine all three barrels for a whopping 450 dmg; just 40+ more than the punisher. The stim won't have any increased duration. The knife will come in 4's and 6's depending on your armor selection, and its uses won't allow for retrieval. The Liberator Carbine will do 45 dmg with medium armor penetration. The recoil and handling will demand the Warbond's armor passive just to make the weapon usable. The passive buff to melee damage will make bot troopers and bug scavengers killable with a single melee. What sort of SCP containment procedure is gimping the fun factor at AH Studios?

With the only primary weapon from this warbond is an assault rifle I will assume that AH had rework this weapon category. As for the throwing knife it will comes down to the penetration value and damage type because we don't know if the knife damage is consider explosive or something else like maybe melee damage? As for the content in the warbond, I don't know if it is good to release a warbond like this anymore because assuming they need to release new weapons every warbond, it will be much harder to come out with new unique weapon that are fun to play. So I would prefer they did not tied the weapon with the warbonds and release new weapons as free update or weapon pack dlc if they want to monetize it. With this approach I think this will give the devs much more time to work and test on new weapons.

I'm interested weapons and things that add to the gameplay, I don't care about sticking a camo texture on my drop pod, and the weapons don't look too exciting with the exception of the shotgun.

Also, for ideas on the warbond: Weapons: Pump shotgun, light pen, "corrosive slow", wide spread. Carbine is fine, but make it low medium pen and corrosive. DMR with high medium pen, corrosive damage and stagger. Armor passive: Decrease enemy detection by 30% + 1) increased speed when crouching or prone OR 2) the increased melee OR 3) reduced recoil when crouched or prone. Armor heavy variant: reduced corrosive (acid) damage and slow effect+duration. Knives: 1shots week points, 2 for Super heavies. Comes in packs of 4, so each "grenade ammo" gives 4. That's 16 knives. Also, knives are used for melee and have medium pen. Booster: When taking lethal damage, instead you'll activate a stim that gives you movement and damage resistance, has a cooldown.

So I definitely would not want to see that in my team versus boosters that work 24/7.

I think this warbond is pretty much going to come down to the one skin you mentioned and if they can figure out how to get the knife to work in a way that opens things up for future melee weapons. I haven’t heard exactly how this knife will be implemented, but I can’t really see them replacing the grenades with this. In my mind the most optimal way to do it would be to replace the grenade button (4 on PC) and use it to activate the melee weapon and just use the quick grenade button for grenades and press and hold the melee button to charge and throw the knife. Then the knife has to be much more powerful than a traditional melee attack, so you save ammo, and are meleeing all the close-up enemies. If you are rolling with a single handed weapon, it should automatically put the single handed melee weapon into the non-dominant hand as sort of a short range defense/shield where if an enemy gets too close, the knife automatically sticks out at arm’s length to keep the enemy off of you a bit or it takes damage while attacking you. And then if you press the melee button you get some sort of cool attack that varies depending on your weapon type or how many enemies are within melee range. Just the knife, do one thing (or one of a variety of attacks, stabs, slashes, spinning slashes). Knife and a gun, do another thing (like pistol whip the enemy and then stab it and kick the enemy off your knife), if you got knife + riot shield, do a 3rd thing. Also, you could have the option where press 4 to get melee and long press 4 to get grenades.

@@RealAsianRobot I’m with you there. I think this is a pretty pivotal warbond. I think if the knife is lame, and the carbine is lame like all the other assault rifles, that’s really going to damage their player base numbers, but if they open up the melee game into something useful and fun, that really could bring the players back into the fold right before they release the illuminate. I’m holding out hope that Johann’s been working on this since he replied to a comment a while back on how cool it would be to have helldivers with swords, because it’d probably be tough to add that gameplay and animations in on short notice.

Like you Robot not to interested but why should we pay more for less. So my guess would be this warbond should be 350SC max at best.

@RealAsianRobot

Ай бұрын

It will be 1000 unfortunately, but if they keep the SC spawn rate the same. I am still okay with it, but the patch will set the tone for future warbonds. I've given up on this one, but weapons must match the idea of being unique, distinct and feeling powerful for the casual player to pick them up past diff 5. If a casual can play a weapon in diff 8 or 9 while being semi-decent. Then the weapon is balanced and that's what I'm hoping for. It might make the game easier than intended, but all the games "reviving" this year. I.e. Diablo 4 and the rest. Have all made it a point to cater to casuals and that's what is bringing them the numbers. People play for a few hours and a have a great time. Arrowhead needs to go for this, because their hardcore market is currently in shambles angway

At least someone has the courage to provide some truth and context. After such a long wait… we deserve to know what’s going on and now that most of us see what’s coming… it seems very very underwhelming. The gas grenade was shown so us and it’s not even mentioned… in a JUNGLE theme? Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining. Be trustworthy and give us the power and balance we need and deserve.

Ай бұрын

Lol, Immersion can't go that far, or this would be strictly a mil-sim. In which case they would need very different system. I feel that they are probably going to go more into a whacky action heavy shooter type direction and less of 'realism mil-sim' which is good, because I signed up to use whacky OP weapons to serve democracy. Not slum in trenches. I do feel you on the skins though

My thoughts. I do agree that weapon trailers should show more and be honest. Players need to see the capabilities in game and on the higher difficulties so we know for sure how they perform. The knife seems like a badass idea... that doesn't fit this game in the slightest. You talked about a corrosive gun, give me an acid grenade instead of a knife. I know there was talk of adding melee weapons a while back, so I would hope this armour is pre-empting that addition. If that's not the case... oh boy do I think it's a wasted opportunity. In all my time in HD2 I've never used melee once. I disagree about less armours and less guns as a bad thing. I think it's more a mis-step of the earlier warbonds giving too many picks too early. I actively don't want gear bloat. I know there's that mentality of, "Yeah more options, gimme gimme" but it inevitably runs the risk of having too many options that create a wall of dross that gets mentally greyed out when you're picking because there will always be weapon options that dominate the choice and when you have 80 different primary guns to select from, chances are you're gonna lose track of them all (Or you run into operational repeats like its borderlands) and it creates a headache for the devs to balance it all. I'd prefer fewer guns each warbond, but with a stronger emphasis on balancing the current armoury so more guns remain viable. I already own most of the guns in game and almost never swap out of using like three of them (And at this point on suicidal and above fighting Automatons I pretty much only use the same primary/build regardless unless I get really bored and go attack bugs for a bit where I will sometimes experiment, but even then there are a lot of weapons I just don't see the purpose of taking) Overall I appreciate your honesty. As an older individual, I am truly sick of everybody pandering or sanitizing their opinions for fear of ruffling someone else's feathers. I'm equally done with people always having that attitude of, "You say not-positive things so me say you hater so I no have to think critically about your points or question my own" I think it's pretty clear contextually you enjoy Helldivers 2, but you have some gripes about it. That's fine. I'd rather engage with someone like that than an npc who just loves a game regardless of what's going on

It's all about the balance patch for me.

missed opportunity with the knife imo, i would've had it replace the normal melee and do extra damage and if you hold the melee button you cock it back and release to throw also make it retrievable......the melee aspect would've also played into the armor's passive

You throw it into a weak spot and it gets in the target's bloodstream causing critical damage. Boom, same knife, but it's no longer just a knife, it's a commando tool. A story or any weapons lore is about how you write it and what you create with it. They can easily make it a part of the universe. You just have to be creative

In case you are unaware, the reason why 'use what works for you' no longer works is because of the constant nerf, to the point that if people are serious about clearing the content fast, they are literally pigeon-holed into using one thing, which is the exact reason we dropped more than 80k players recently. So if you feel that I am becoming toxic, I leave that entirely to you. That's your impression of me and I am not here to change that. I only ever state facts and unfortunately, whether people want to hear it or not, until the upcoming patch fixes things, MOST builds are going to end up inefficient. This is different from straight up troll or meme builds, which some people do play, but that's up the individual, unfortunately they will be judged for it. So if you are unhappy that I no longer encourage 'use what you want'. That's because it doesn't exist anymore and the fault is literally Arrowheads. We are not elitists and NEVER have been, we are solely focused on efficiency and perfection and we present and highlight that perfection to the audience. If the audience chooses not to use that, that is up to them though, but based on the state of the game, I cannot remain 'honest' and present the same point of view.
