re: Helldivers 2 - Playstation Breaks Its PC Launch Record

I played a few missions this weekend, but I'm pretty tired of the devs ignoring the outstanding bugs (and I'm not talking about the Terminids ).

The loadout glitch still happens where it sets you to a default loadout when you first start playing. Annoying, but not a deal breaker.

The big deal to me is that the game/multiplayer is still crashing far too frequently. My game crashed ~30min into a mission once out of the ~5 missions I played and two other times I got the "allied destroyer has left the mission" message where my co-op partners just vanished into thin air. This is really inexcusable. Waste 30min just to have the game crash and send you back to the starting screen or trying to finish higher-level difficulties solo after your partners disappear and you can't call in new divers via the SOS beacon. The devs keep rolling out new weapons, stratagems, etc. yet they can't make the game actually work (pretty sure friend requesting is still mostly broken).

The playerbase is also becoming increasingly toxic and annoying. Whereas people mostly used to follow each other around based on where people would ping on the map, now it just seems like everyone scatters and does whatever they want. I've seen reports of more people getting randomly kicked and/or killed on purpose at extraction too.

With that said, I love where I'm at with a loadout. The Quasar Cannon was a great addition and helps take the place of the pre-nerf Railgun.

I just wish the devs would pause on releasing new content until they got the game in a more stable state

ETA: And don't get me started on major orders. Apparently there are hidden mechanics that the devs have only disclosed in Discord (they relate to supply lines or something that explain how the planets are connected and in which order you should try to liberate them?). Just a lot of BS from the devs right now.

Yo, I'm still playing. Slow grind. Up to level 30 playing periodically.
