Yeah, same as.
I am still enjoying the game and not knowing if\when its going to crash is annoying as you will loose everything you have done up to that point
Mine is the iron storm that stops you calling anything down.
If you have an objective that requires you to call down a stratagem you can't until the storms stopped.

Think the problem I've got with the Ion Storms, is that they don't seem to have any negative impact on the Bots (think I've only seen it on Bot maps...). I'd not mind it so much if it caused some oddities with their behaviour, and limited the bot drops, but I don't think that happens at all? Happy to be corrected if that does happen and I've just not noticed it though 
Those flying enemies seem a bit broken, one merely glanced past me in my exosuit and I exploded
I've not experienced it myself but apparently their wings when killed can fall and instantly kill you in the exosuit.
Yeah I’m trucking along happy as Larry, with full health, and the bird thing just went past and I exploded instantly, was very funny but also annoying AF
HD2 has an obsession with killing players in a myriad of crazy ways and with stuff that can easily one-shot or two-shot you, even when you are doing your best to avoid or mitigate it. I get that the devs probably think this is funny and they expect players to find it funny too. And for the first few times, it is. Then it rapidly gets old.
Add to this all the crashes, disconnects, bugs, balance issues and multiple ways to fail, it does start to feel like the game doesn't respect time invested very well. I'm not saying there's no fun to be had, but for a game that expects players to sink time into long missions and grind out rewards and community orders, they need to do much better with respecting player time.

Nah couldn’t agree less there. It’s a game built around chaos. Yes there are grindy elements for the hardcore player base, but this is a game designed around casual fun.
Granted think I don’t think I’ve played on the top two difficulties, but I’m not convinced me and the boys have ever failed a mission. Failed to extract successfully a few times, but never failed a mission.

Best explanation ever. The game is meant to be pure chaos. This is the actual fun part of it. Chaos and utter daftness - love it.
But yea they need to sort the disconnects etc as that ain’t part of the fun!
Soldato
2 disconnects in a row - no one using the tesla no no stuff. they better sort this soon or i'm gonna be pee'd right the **** off 
Soldato
Not had any disconnects tonight. Hopefully that's a sign they are on top of the poor patch knock on changes.
Is there any situation where taking heavier armour is actually beneficial? in a "devs don't understand their own game" moment - it seems to me any situation you are taking damage, except maybe on the easiest setting, you are pretty much dead, mobility is key for staying alive. You'd need like 20x the armour rating to be able to "stand and bang" with the enemy in any kind of useful way. Though an armour set with a big defensive boost, resistance to player damage and access to/bonus to melee weapons would be kind of hilarious against bugs.
Same here had a 2 and 1/2 hour session last night not a single crash or disconnect, previous night played four games crashed or disconnected in three
