Update is Today:Update 2.10 Patch Notes posted:
Lots of changes, I haven't had a chance to see how things are yet until after the workday. I'm curious how the skill-based team switching thing shakes out.

Is it skill based though? Its just based on your rank, which doesn't necessarily translate to skill, though I guess hopefully someone who is 500 is better at the game than someone at 50

Garbage update lol, I’m level 801 and the very first match stacked all the level 100+ players on attack and filled defense with everyone else. It was absolutely brutal. Though I’ll admit it did seem weirdly more balanced in that defense almost won several times and indeed would have without me carrying the team, so it might take into account actual stats more than just level? Mostly I’m just mad they’re focusing on FFA. I hate FFA. It’d be fine if they added the TDM maps and then put it back in rotation but right now the entire update is basically for a tiny sliver of people who duel constantly. Wish they’d readd TDM to 64p, horses are bogus

Hiding behind unskilled teammates becomes even more powerful, dark forest gets fixes but they leave in invisible fire I already ran away from 90% of fights that a teammate was in and now it'll be 100%. At least ambusher got buffed. But for real one of the least enticing parts of this game is getting flanked by teammates who then block hits/feed counters/jump right in front of an extent fight, and then me understanding that the fight I was one hit from winning is now over for me lol "We don't want to reward team damage, but we are ignoring the fact that your teammates are still absolutely going to slash you in the back anyway, and also, we have provided a mechanism for increased survivability for good players in group fights" Many of the other changes look good tho. Kinda funny to see the highland sword go full circle into being buffed again. I haven't played this game since I got helldivers and I guess at this point I'll wait for whatever hot fix patch they have to implement Worf fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Mar 5, 2024 |

Lol yeah every match I played today was characterized by a similar level distribution. TB implementing a fix after years that magically does the inverse of what it was intended to do is very on brand I still bought the campaign pass anyway because I’ve wasted 900 hours on this fuckin game

It’s always weird, and sometimes endearing. Last patch, we had those weird graphical arrow tracers that followed people around. It made me feel pretty, like a ribbon gymnast. Patch before that, people got stained bright red when they took fire damage. They’ll get it right one of these times, after the initial time.

hard to imagine how they could have done a worse job with this patch. every match I play is like this now it feels like they hosed the algorithm up in some fundamental way that results in one team, usually attack, getting all of the level 1000 players every single time. it's completely insane, of course it was a miserable steamroll. they made the issue they were trying to solve exponentially worse lmao

I remember one of y’all mentioned seeing someone under my name being horrible in in game chat. That same person has been going insane and harassing me for weeks whenever they see me in a match, votekicking, spending 45 minutes repeatedly calling me a pedophile, just totally deranged and over the line stalking/impersonation and it was really impacting my ability to enjoy the game. Just got a message from the Chivmail guy that they finally permanently muted the player in question. Probably should have been banned but I’m glad they broke protocol and let me know what action they took

I have weird luck with the cohort that plays the same time as me and end up getting the VIP at least 2/3rds of the time and I think that’s gotten me unwarranted negative attention, I usually turn it down now even Worf posted:i know who youre talking about and theyre going to be back, ive already had one of their accounts banned Man, what the gently caress. It makes me feel better to learn that it wasn’t just me, at least, as there is something distinctly uncomfortable about having a dedicated unhinged hater around every corner. Seems kind of insane that TB hasn’t found a way to permanently ban them instead of like, muting them a bunch

The weirdest part is those names all have slightly different personalities with the same basically unpleasant vein of severe illness running through them (when he uses them). When he was using some of them he would be normal for a bit before lapsing into hostility but whenever he was playing under marty it was just straight to one thousand with the crazy nonsense. I reckon it would be reasonable to say Chiv has a problematic community so it stands to reason it would have an exceptionally deranged local lunatic

Also all the new stuff is for FFA or a very lazy halfhearted skin/reskin so there’s not much of a pressing reason to finish the battlepass

They keep adding new bugs with every patch my favorite is the one that spawns all the monks on Galencourt as dukes, so there’s just a ton of identical nobles lumbering around and because it’s not really a VIP they’re much worse than dukes usually are

Maybe I've just been lucky today but the new team balance seems to work decently well? Did 4 rounds throughout the day and they were all relatively evenly matched. No blowouts

No blowouts I just sat down and saw the update and was gonna come and ask you guys about it itll be curious to see how this goes. i think itll be a good benefit for people like me who dont really team switch and like playing defense i admit i do change off of defense whenever buba playing, so i can kill him

Yeah the only real change seems to be it’ll sometimes slap you on the other team without informing you before the match begins - start out on attack, spawn as defense. It’s autobalance without the compensation. I only played two matches yesterday and one was a normal steamroll, the other felt balanced but in the normal fluke way

I dunno then. I've only had one match where the kill difference was more than 100 and the lower kill team actually won it on defense. I just got out of a rudhelm 230 - 260 kill match.  Those types of matches were extremely rare beforehand, at least for me

I just got out of a rudhelm 230 - 260 kill match. theres a lot of impactful variables that determine how effective the balancing is A) does the server start full and retain a good amount of players? - Balancing at the start will be more effective B) Are people switching to spectate to teamswitch to offense C) do the mid match joiners end up on defense or offense / what are their levels I would say its overall an improvement sometimes, and I dont think it made anything worse, so thats truly something with TB. Altho tbf, it did take a removal of the feature + hotfix to address the "improvement and not worse" aspect of the feature. I wish there was a PSA encouraging low levels and RPers to switch to offense. Sadly, the people we actually need to team switch are usually the ones that are morally opposed to it lol. But if more lower people switched to offense that would also balance it, and why i always encourage those people to get on over off D

The problem is that people wanting to play on easy mode is a fundamentally unsolvable problem. They will literally spend minutes not playing the game in spectate mode so they can be on the attacking team, and like, literally never play defense. It's dumb and unsporting, but it is what it is.

It's dumb and unsporting, but it is what it is. they could solve this in part if they wanted to, the issue is that they freely admit they dont want to take the steps. youre assigned a team variable when the level seeds, its locked and you can only be autod. if you manually leave a game it triggers X cooldown for rejoining queue..etc Fuligin posted:Wtf lol although ive been playing other games mostly lately, i have not seen the person doing this since we were talking about it a few weeks ago or w/e, so i think the admins finally silenced him or he quit or got banned, since he was also votekicking me on sight and nobody has been doing that for awhile lol and yea that impersonator / weirdo person definitely gave off some of the strongest creep vibes ive seen in an online game in awhile

One quick fix for offense would be to place floating icons in the world that are visible at all times that point to objectives. The easiest way to ruin an attack when defending is to sideline players into meaningless fights far from objectives. Maybe they could highlite dropped objective times like gold crates and explosives

Whereas on defense I spend minutes not playing the game setting up barriers and receiving no points for it!  I still think giving engineers some QoL changes would do a lot to help defense not feeling like a snowball at times. Points for enemies hitting the barrier, healing banner or a new special that replenishes your barriers similar to the quiver instead of the med kits, I dunno.
