Whenever you want. Go off
I'm actually very curious to hear what the giant design flaws are.

This fucking game. Whenever I get into a great group, the connection drops or the game crashes.

What other extraction shooters are at top of mind? I can’t think of any
There are definitely quite a few gameplay quirks that make it unique too.

ArrowHead turned off the player count reporting to ease server load, from what I heard anyway. So yes it shows zero players online all the time right now.
I usually find (on PS5) either jumping in and out of the planets, or even restarting the game will eventually find players for you within a few attempts.
But it is unreliable for sure.
We don't really have enough information about the server distribution too. Maybe some regions are overloaded compared to others.

The game is ultra mega fucked right now, even if i can go into my ship because i avoid the server capacity screen with a trick, i can't join anyone and quickmatch doesn't work, and if i try to go alone the game remain stuck in the loading screen where you see your pod descending on the planet and i have to manually close the game from steam.

When able to get in still not been able to play with randos for a few days. Endless counter going up trying to find games that just never happen. Used to be that it'd be smashing those join games and failing because they were already full, now it's just not finding anything at all.
People in-game on the friends list don't show in the Social tab - can see what planet they're on and what they're doing on the map, but they don't show in Social. Only people there are those on friends list in other games/apps, shown as online but not in-game. Left playing alone and that gets tiresome 'cause there's no real point playing on Hard or Extreme for just very slightly better rewards with a lot more push-back/risk involved, so it's been just popping in and out of Challenging missions and that's getting a bit meh.

Servers at capacity please try again later
Seriously annoying now, haven’t been able to play in 4/5 days now. Games great when you can get in to it. Really need to sort this out.

I just queued up and it was less than 2 minutes. Matchmaking works too.

Damn managed to get in earlier and played a few games with randoms, so so much fun, even more so when I unlocked the SMG on page 3 coupled with eagle support and grenade launcher…! Still love the machine gun though.
But of course just as I completed a “perfect” mission the game crashes just as the shuttle lands

For me the last two days, getting in hasn’t been the issue. It’s getting a full squad and being able to complete a round. I’ve been stuck at level 11 for two days because the game keeps having connectivity issues.
But I might be done. I’ve lost at least 3 hours of my time from connection issues that’s entirely their fault. I think I’ll put this down, start and beat TLoU2 Remastered, then jump to FF7-2. Maybe after that Helldivers 2 will be playable. Or I just go back to Fortnite.

There was a trailer released in the last couple of years for an open-world shooter. Had a great song and a colourful logo. Thought it was Helldivers 2, but it's not.
I remember in the trailer lots of players shooting a massive creature in a desert-type landscape. Does anyone know the game in question? Likely it's not released yet.

It should be noted that they shifted Arc Raiders to be PvPvE now.

Who is the absolute cunt who thought it was a good idea to have GameGuard unable to connect to its update servers pop up a browser window?!?

All these issues completely killed my hype. Finally managed to play with my friends. After clearing the whole map we got disconected on our way to the extraction point. We tried again, this time only doing the main objective. The same thing happened. Forty minutes wasted with nothing to show for it.

Unbelievable... What could have been if they designed the backend code from the get-go to support so many players actually in the game. Of course hindsight and all that; Helldivers 1 had <7k peak.

No way is there that many actually playing on steam. Tonight has been the worst of the lot to try and get a game. Pretty sure people are just joining an ever growning que at this point.
Its like in Tokyo when you see people joining a mile long que, just because everybody else is doing it lol.
Still impressive though.

Yeah, that’s some bullshit. Hosting should be moved to a different player if they leave.Host Quit! Game crashed, now server at capacity

Props to them for banning someone expressing an opinion? I don't want to see anything in the game that is overtly representing any political views, it's honestly refreshing that it's not pandering to any of these groups. Why can't we shoot bugs and robots without knowing the guy on our team likes dick or thinks they are a woman? It makes no sense why people push this nonsense on any level. These same people would freak the hell out if a MAGA cape or one with a cross and Bible verses was put in. How about we just let games be games.
Props to the discord moderators.

Got the "servers at capacity" message for the first time ever, makes sense since it's evening in North America, I need to stick with playing at night JST until they resolve these issues. Oh well, I have more than enough other stuff to play
