Helldivers 2

It took a few games to get into the swing of it, from what I've played so far it seems pretty fun. There's more to the maps than just rushing the main objective, though some games do feel like they're over in a matter of minutes.

Had a few funny moments already, all related to friendly fire. One guy was urging me to pick up his guard dog drone that follows you around and shoots a laser at enemies, I did so, it promptly flew around me trying to shoot at a group of enemies below us, targeting right through me and another guy that were just obliterated almost instantly.

There was also a Chinese sounding fellow who was enjoying using a big heavy turret that somebody had brought in during the extraction, lots of impressed 'phoar' sounds as he expended all the rounds, just as the jet landed on top of the turret and blew him to pieces :cry:

Ah the microtransactions, lovely microtransactions.

Whilst the mtx could have been avoided, on the plus side they are cosmetics only so you dont need any of them and none of them give you any advantage over anyone else, though having said that its a pve game rather than a pvp game so its not like you need an advantage over anyone else anyway :)

Yes your better off exploring and getting the extras before that extraction point, something I picked up quickly but others maybe have not.

I turned off the open mic but there is a few bungling players that kill you mainly from being clumsy. But I think this adds to the fun overall having to be more selective/cautious.
 
You can earn the currency for the micro transactions by just playing the game and unlocking them in the warbonds.

I dont know why some people are up in arms against this?

You can also get the premium currency in game inside chests, if you actually bother to explore around instead of just doing the objectives. Which is a nice touch, dont think too many games have their premium currency inside chests in game that you can just pick up
 
Discord announcement if it helps:

Hey Everyone,

Thank you for your patience during the server maintenance. With it we deployed three “rapid-fixes” aimed at improving the situation with rewards often not being handed out properly, login-issues, and server capacity.

To speak in technical terms, our services as well as our partner services have a rate limiter that denies connections beyond a volume per minute to prevent the entire system from failing. We managed to increase the rate limit from 10,000/min to 20,000/min and the total capacity of concurrent players was increased from 250,000 total to 360,000 total. This was however still not enough as the player count jumped to 360k after 5 1⁄2 minutes.

As such, the issue with login remains. If for any reason you get the “Failed to connect to server” issue it means that the maximum number of login requests for that particular minute is exceeded and/or that the servers are full and will require someone to log out before allowing new players in. As mentioned above, the increased capacity should require less retries to get in.

As for the reward issue, the fix was mitigated but not resolved. And without additional server maintenance this will still not work as intended. If you get the issue you can try rebooting the game to increase the chances of it being reset. This is due to the high traffic on the servers leading to rewards not being tracked correctly by our servers.

I know the progression issue is frustrating, especially for newer divers that want to unlock sweet gear. For now, please once again accept our sincere apologies for the issues you’re facing and rest assured, we’re doing our utmost to make it right. In order to do so, right now it is crucial that our team gets some sleep and we will be back at this again in a few hours.
