New player here, on PS5. PSN id LastNinja, feel free to add me. Love what I've experienced so far.
Had a strange glitch where my load out weapons were question marks and non functional lol, had to rely solely on anti-material rifle and stratagems. Full squad, so we managed

Yeah, this is the most I've talk into a mic in a decade.

I said my first word through my mic in a decade. "Thankyou" to the guy who revived me thrice during my 5 minutes of intense stupidity.

Don't think so. Hopefully they add the ability to skip it in the future, along with the defrosting cutscene into ship.

Played with some divers that was in their mid teens that was farming impossible automation destroy missions, asking me to stay. None of them had strategems to even farm it efficiently. They kicked me afterwards thinking I could carry a whole team of scrubs running around with machine guns.... we completed it too btw.

You need something to carry all that ego
… or someone in the Ministry of Defense has a cousin or spouse that owns a big ass space shipyard… they are Italians.. and you know, you know a guy who knows a guy… and you end up with requirements such as a big spaceship for every HellDivers. Then again you put many pods for each ship, which seems… anyways odd .

I wanted to complete the weekly(?) mission with the sniper rifle, so I joined a game on medium difficulty, just to get the kills.
There were 2 dudes in there already in mission and as soon as I landed one of them made clear that "we are not extracting until we got all the samples. It's all about the samples!". I let him know I understood and asked if we should split up, but he said we should stick together and follow his lead.
He was very talkative and actually pretty nice, complementing us and giving us advice (whether we wanted it or not).
But he was taking his sweet as time and when we finally found all the samples he realized we only had 3 minutes left in the mission and a long walk to the extract. With 1 minute left on the extract timer 2 of us got killed and he now was alone, completely surrounded and running around a building with 15 robots on his ass, yelling "how did this happen? It was all for nothing. Everything we did, for nothing!!".
I think he actually rage quit soon after and I laughed my ass off. Moments like this is why I play this game, I don't care that much about progressing my character, I want the drama.

I got kicked this morning when I asked to hold off 1min on the extraction so I could grab my samples/railgun.
They attempted extraction (with ONE sample), failed for being too far away (i was kiting without any means of killing) and kicked me :]

Managed a few games with randoms and hour ago. Both cadets and we're excellent. Careful with gun fire, provided support, and backup. Excellent teamwork. Very smooth.

Been playing with a ton of randoms lately and I don't think I've seen a single pre-order armor, which made me come to the realization that the pre-order arnors must be pretty rare considering most sales came after release when word of mouth started to go around.

I ditched mine for better stuff pretty early on.

Love team killing these fucking crybabies who moan about accidental team killing. It’s part of the game. If you can’t see a big red fucking beam coming down from the sky and you don’t even try to get out of the way, that’s on you. Don’t verbally abuse my teammates and myself because you’re jerking it with one hand on the controller.

That 50% chance to not take lethal damage was pretty damn good in the early levels lol
But yeah, I prefer light armors for the speed buff myself.

Yeah, absolutely unacceptable. It is essentially actual money which is going missing.

Enjoy the process. There is no endgame, like Left 4 Dead.

It is great every step of the way. Despite it being "GAAS," there really isn't much purpose to buying the super credits, because you get enough of them just completing missions and progressing through war bonds, where a lot of the good stuff is. Currently there's no endgame, but you'll find items in the war bonds that you really want and you can shoot for those.

The first ~50 hours is fun because progression is slow. All you're doing is playing ~2 hours to unlock a stratagem, weapon, skin or ship upgrade. That's satisfying until you unlock what you want. Then when you realize there's no upgrades you want to farm for, the game gets very repetitive. There's essentially no endgame loop design here.
A lot of people are going to put this game away until the next big content update. It feels like fairly mediocre execution on a brilliant concept.

I have only been playing randoms but it has been okay. I'm only lev 6 but I'm playing support and just trying to help with the backpack and feeding my team supplies.

They've said they don't vanish into the ether, they can still see them their side. So anyone affected by this bug isn't losing out forever and will have them made available when it gets fixed. Hopefully that's soon.

Tell me a co-op PvE game that doesn't run into this problem? Not every multiplayer is designed around grinding the game on a daily basis. Just like a game like Destiny, HD2 will be incredibly successful around massive content drops. Inbetween content drops, it will still be the go to PvE game to play with friends. There is nothing else really like it on the market
You play 50+ hrs and are constantly bitching about the game. That is pretty funny to me. If you are not enjoying it, put it down and come back after big content updates. You already easily got 40$ out of the game

You misunderstood.
I was responding to
iorek21
when he was asking about the endgame. Me answering him honestly and truthfully does not mean I'm "bi**hing about the game". This is weird fanboy thinking. We have to evolve past that.

Fair. But your post history is weirdly trying to be as contrarion as possible when it comes to HD2. I'm fine with criticizing the game, it's just weird pretty much all your posts are critical given how much you have playedYou misunderstood.

A moderator told me I needed to stop posting Helldivers 2 threads because members felt like I was being too positive about GAAS with them.
Now I'm a Helldivers 2 hater?
People see what they want to see.

I'm bouncing off of this game in a way I did not expect. Is there something to leveling up that I'm missing? I find everything Medium and under pretty boring, but as a solo player I get obliterated in higher difficulties. I'm barely getting a level every 3-5 rounds and I'm barely getting material and medals to unlock stuff.

Anyway, my opinion of this is, before Covid I wouldn't really hang around Discord with my friends playing games, but that changed. This game really fits into that new paradigm of hopping on some games with some close mates, but without having to invest too much beyond "Let's kill some bugs in a really fun gameloop"

FINALLY they fixed progression for thousands of us. Unlocked medium and whatever is after it tonight (challenging I think).

WHAT!? All the blood, sweat and tears shed in Robot Vietnam only to lose it!? Boots on the ground Helldivers, all hands on deck! Fuck your work, fuck your school, I WON'T be fucking my wife tonight! Liberty! Freedom! Democracy! No sleep until the Automaton menace has been pushed back and crushed into junk metal!

For what it's worth, there is no light armor among the pre-order armors, right?
It's all I equip.

Unless you're god tier you shouldn't play higher levels solo. 9/10 matches with randoms have been great for me.
You're right though anything under challenging is incredibly stale for me now, just got to suicide and it seems like the sweet spot (with the proper crew) and you can find the rare pink coins so might as well try.
