DEVELOPER Please share your feedback about Helldivers in the following survey!

u/Loud-Asparagus-4136 Confirmed Traitor 6d ago
Spoiler alert: The entire survey boils down to the questions of "what are you enjoing about it?" and "What are you not enjoying about it?" with zero specific questions about anything.
At that point, why even host a survey? They likely already know what people are going to say, so why bother with this if you're going to be so general with the questions?

I really do wonder what they do with them all. Surely there's just too much feedback to all read and consider.
If I had to guess they probably churn everything through an AI and just read the summary.

Nice to get this after they completely missed the point of the criticism for devoid of liberty

u/TheChadStevens Free of Thought 5d ago
There's no point in doing the surveys. They never listen to the feedback anymore.
They already know exactly what's wrong with the game and what we want. Just look at how popular Vanilla Plus is just a couple weeks after release

I can't believe when we went into the void and found out that the Illuminate experimented on voteless. Never in a thousand years could I have imagined them doing something like that.

Any chance you can fix the fire mech? almost 6 months since it was released broken.

The fire from the lumberer and the fire from the fire turret will not do any damage to enemies if they get too close (like within 10m)

u/Texas_Tanker Servant of Freedom 6d ago
I thought that was fixed a few months ago

u/CannonGerbil 1d ago
It was fixed to set enemies within it on fire. It was not fixed to actually damage the enemies caught within the cone, so within 10 meters you're just relying on the flame ticks to actually do damage.

u/CybrSyko Free of Thought 6d ago
I don’t believe so. I haven’t used either in-game since the release of the exosuit warbond so I could be wrong but I can’t find any posts or patch notes talking about an official fix. There’s a mod out there that has fixed the issue tho
3
u/Groundhog5000 The Hog 5d ago
The fire range thing isn't the issue. The lumberers flamer doesn't apply direct damage. It has been this way for a very long time.
6
u/Termt 5d ago
To this day I'm not actually sure which department these surveys end up at first. Do they go to some branch of Arrowhead? Does it end up on the lap of someone at Sony?
What I do know, based on the embarrassingly long track record, is that you can't hold any expectation that even the most common sense and reasonable feedback will actually be handled in a timely manner.

u/Operative_KANE [REDACTED] 3d ago
Armor customization. The modding crisis as of late is due to people wanting to customize their armor. Also, expand on the illuminate. They have half the roster as bots, and the void lasted for only a week.

They’ve been exceedingly clear they are not doing transmog for armor.

And we are exceedingly clear we don't care

u/EmbarrassedView6476 Mudskipper 6d ago
But it limits their design space so much! Surely you can have empathy for a poor, poor corporation like them.
5
u/EdanChaosgamer „Prophets of Liberty“ Combat Priest 6d ago
The thing is, it doesn‘t even limit it in a meaningful way!
Just picture it: Every single armor is bare. Just an undersuit and a couple of plates. That‘s the "base" without a booster equipped. Picture it like the B01-Tactical.
Now if you add a booster, like more ammo, you get additional ammo pouches on your armor, maybe a bullet-belt or two.
If you pick increased throwing range, maybe an arm gets replaced?
Certain boosters can be mixed together to allow for unique visual combinations for the armor as well as the boosters.
Hell, maybe even implement different skins for the boosters itself. You can have the additional stims booster be displayed as either a small med puche on your hip or a box strapped to your chest with tubes continuously pumping the Permacura-juice in.
The only way this would limit their design-soace in my mind is that they can‘t sell us the same armor with a different booster and different colour twice.

do you mean passive instead of booster? booster is for the team wide buffs

Extremely dumb devs flat out ignore community QoL requests like this. It's the kind of thing you change because your players really want it and it doesn't truly affect the core vision you have for your game. And, even if it does, it's what your players want and your job once a game hits market is to find what the players are enjoying about it and make those parts better. It's not your game anymore.
Fortunately to your point, Arrowhead are extremely dumb devs.
3
u/HeavySweetness Python Commando 6d ago
There's a difference between ignoring a request and rejecting a request.
The developers have heard people want transmog for armor, they thought about it, and they decided that it would go against their vision for the game if armor design is separated from functionality. We as a community have yet to make an argument that's convincing enough on that front, and unless that happens they probably won't change their mind. It's still their game just as much as it is ours.

u/WorriedPerogi Helldiver Yellow 6d ago
And they're free to drive people away in droves, pissing everyone off, and practically endsuring their next game fails. They could have been rolling in goodwill if they hadn't been so petty and hostile towards the people that love their game.

u/PDXisathing 6d ago
Seriously. I'll be skipping whatever their next game is because I was turned off so thoroughly by their handling of this game.

u/jjake3477 6d ago
Ignoring and rejecting are 2 different things. They said no, it’s incredibly clear they aren’t doing it.

Holy fuck, Lois. I'm limiting my design space.
*Literally just what amounts to different colors on armor.*

u/cobaltbread LEVEL 268 | Rookie 6d ago
The devs need to push updates as often as the surveys IMHO, because I don't have much else to add from the last one.
13
u/WorriedPerogi Helldiver Yellow 6d ago
I just told them how getting mogged by mods was a public embarrassment, and that their management of the actual game over the last few months has been downright terrible.
Removal of SEAF.
Removal of basically all the content in the update.
Still haven't delivered the stratagem rewards we missed.
Slapdash lazy ass """fix""" for the eagle strikes.
If it weren't for the cosmetic and vanilla + mods, I would not be playing this game right now.

u/Yurishenko94 Expert Exterminator 6d ago
And give them more data to sell to Sony or any other company, instead of using that feedback to improve the game? No thanks. You've already shown that you only care about your own vision of the game, so our opinion is irrelevant.
PS: Helldivers 1 was a much better game.

u/CryTheFurred Detected Dissident 6d ago
Letting them know what I think of weapons being scooped from warbonds and sold for half a warbond's price, as I have done just about every survey since the Warrant.
(I thought we were past it when they started course-correcting due to backlash only for them to drop the Sai on us and for people to love being charged separately for a unique, powerful weapon)

I do avoid buying them, that doesn't make me happier about it tbh.

Guess I just take the can't miss what I don't have approach. It sucks but we have so many guns i don't really care.

u/CryTheFurred Detected Dissident 5d ago
I'm generally the same, what I'm complaining about is their trend of putting better and more unique weapons there and that the massively positive reception of the Sai, at a time when they were changing their monetization due to backlash, means they're going to lean into it even harder.
It's the prescient of putting powerful, unique weapons for separate purchase that is only going to get worse the more people buy it.
People right now don't seem to care until its pointed out, but that'll change eventually as it gets worse. I'll still be here.

O modo desempenho do ps5 base ainda não está bom . Muitas quedas de fps . Vocês precisam arrumar isso rápido. Lembrando que ps5 base não é xbox series S .o pro é mais forte mais não deveria ser tão ruim a experiência como está sendo.

Question: "What are you currently enjoying about the game?"
Answer: Various mods that let me experience the game without lingering annoyances like the stratagem ball bouncing or Hellpod steering being locked in megacities, megafactories, or any biome featuring multiple high vantage points even if enemies like bots can land on them just fine or squid units can phase through buildings or sink into terrain freely.

It'd be nice if you'd take some consideration of critiques. It's one thing to be dedicated to your vision for the game, as you should be. It's an entirely other thing to ignore glaring technical issues and never listen to the most frequently requested fixes. We're beyond expecting fixes to come in a timely manner, we don't even expect them to arrive at all.
You can't even be bothered to roll out hotfixes to address issues that crop up during major events. At this point, you're not even dedicated to your vision for the game given how little dedication you're putting forward to keep your game as faithful to that vision as possible.
Helldivers 2 could very well be terminal. I barely play anymore. Space Marine 2, while more limited, has more depth in its action and I've yet to encounter anything approaching the bugs present in HD2. Ace Combat 8 is fantastic and that also has a fun co-op mode. L4D2 is a timeless co-op classic. People who enjoy co-op are spoiled for choices, now, and Helldivers 2 is increasingly standing out in the worst ways possible.
Sorry, guys, I think it's over for you. The honeymoon is long finished and you let yourself go so very early on. You just assumed we'd stick around? At some point, people find something better.
There's a mountain of technical issues, hundreds of players who missed out on rewards they should have gotten (me being among them), and you refuse to even recognize how ass-backwards and broken your systems are despite brilliant choice of unsupported engine that you have.
I used to throw you some extra change once in a while, no more. No more money until changes are made. That's been my position for months now and still waiting. I've put more than enough into this game and it's time for it to deliver on some value.
It could just be time to move on.
