The Kernel level anticheat does bug me. I wish people would just stop being dickheads and cheating in multiplayer games. This is why we can’t have nice things
Also, there's no direct competition/PvP, so does it really matter of someone cheats?
People have cheated in the samples and req slips and such and ruined progression for others. It's not the same as competition cheating, but the "point" of the game is the grind, and some lost out on it. I think AH rolled back most of the effected accounts though, but it's a little deeper than just no PvP = cheats sorta fine
There's the paid currency that you can farm in game. I imagine Sony wouldn't want people getting that all easier.
It’s a co-op PvE game I don’t understand why cheating is such a concern that we need to allow malware to fight it.
Cheating completely ruined my Red Dead Redemption 2 Online experience. Cheating there was so bad that people would just move everyone on the server to a single location then spawn hundreds of cougars on top of them. You'd just be riding around doing missions minding your own business, then BAM! Mountain of cougars on top of you. It was constant for a couple weeks, so I just stopped.
I guess my point is that even if there's no incentive to cheat in a co-op game, people will anyway because they're dickheads.
Because cheating the progression could affect the monetization.
If I blitz through the game and unlock everything with cheats, I'm much less likely to stick around and spend on the premium armor and battle passes. The point of the daily orders and slow progression is to make the game a habit, which increases the likelihood that someone will spend by increasing the number of chances they have to do so.
Aame and i think that's why it doesn't fit in here. You can enjoy the game and still hate that shit. I agree with the whole weapon nerf thing and i think people take it way too serious. I only play on helldiver difficulty and you van use quite literally every gun you want as long as you have a team that halfway know what to do. If the most fun gun in the game was a nerf gun, i would use it, i like that they change guns every now and then.
Idk i would just let them cheat but when it gets reported you get send to cheater server. Like why even bother in a non pvp game. Or even in a pvp one. Just set em up with other cheaters so they don't bother anyone.
(exclude them from global orders and such however)
and it would be a good tradeoff if it actually worked.
they just want to offload the cheat detection to our machines, but while they are physically with us, they will always be bypassable.
I'm not saying Arrowhead is perfect and hand-wave away the game's problems. I've just seen a lot of people bash the game as if it's completely unplayable. But I still enjoy dropping in and getting overrun by Bile Titans only to barely make the extract with reinforcements left.

I've never seen that. I've seen a lot of people express legitimate concerns over the enshittification of the gaming industry. I'm very confident this is nothing at all to do with Arrowhead, and everything to do with Sony, but it doesn't excuse it. And I don't appreciate the diminishment of those concerns.
Surprised there wasn’t a panel about the PSN requirement in there.
I only had 3 panels and was too lazy to open an image editor to add more.
I have taken a break from the game for the time being. I have put probably 90 hours into the game and enjoyed a fair amount of that time. The game does so much right and even the grind loop can be pretty fun. That being said I started to get the feeling that the leadership was focusing on content over bug fixes. We still have things like the spear not being able to lock on most of the time, fire damage and gas damage being broken for non hosts, rockets out of the mech blowing its arm up even after patches to stop it.
It bothered me to see new weapons and armor added when they haven't even fixed the core items. I don't play enough to make 1000 credits quickly so I would see brand new content for a new game that I can't access while a bunch of my existing toys are still broken. I know I still want to go back to it but for now I am going to wait till the devs can spend some time and fix the core elements a little more.
Gas and fire damage has just been fixed with the latest patch. The mech self damage I have never witnessed I think, but it doesn't seem to be much of an issue to me based on that.
The spear I grant you though, I really want to use it more but the good old quasar is just more reliably blasting big targets, and doesnt occupy the backpack slot as well.
What they really need to fix in my opinion is the frequency I am stuck in or under the ground from an explosion. No way out except grenade suicide
Which is the worst if you're running stun grenades! The grenade pistol isn't as reliable for killing yourself if you're stuck.
The fire and gas work just fine for non-hosts now... I've not tested the mech but it's supposedly fixed now. The spear is something they say they're working on and since they've been fixing things I don't see any reason to not believe that
I do wish those two things, weren't, though…
Same. But I had a couple friends in Discord say "You're still playing Helldivers? That game is dead."
But yeah, I'm still liking it. Obviously I hope they continue to improve it.
Dead to them maybe, but I don't consider 40k active players at most times to be "dead". Dropped, yes, but how do they get "dead" from that?
haters do what they do best, lol
lol, dead by what metric?
And they've blocked over 90 countries where the game was sold initially, from being able to play any more.
And I still haven't heard or seen anything about it, besides some PPL wining about it
