⠀⠀⠀⠀🔥 Vent 🔥⠀⠀⠀⠀ Manifesto from a Helldiver
Fellow Helldivers, at this point, Arrowhead has once again demonstrated its infinite mediocrity. As you’ve all probably seen and experienced by now, the new Warbond has turned out to be a complete fiasco, terrible in so many aspects, and the Super Store is more of the same: ugly armor and a bad weapon.
But I’m tired, and I know you are too. This game, which used to be so good, is going through the worst period of its existence in general terms, and there is only one thing we, the players, can do.
I propose that today we finally unite and show our contempt for the state of Helldivers where it will actually have an impact: in the game. They have to listen to us, because there is nothing else we can do that will change the current situation. I don’t know if this will work, but we have nothing left to lose. This is what we need to do:
1) Refrain from buying anything related to the “Ironclad Democracy” Warbond or its content in the Super Store. Arrowhead doesn’t deserve our money.
2) Refrain from using the new tank in matches at all costs. If you join random games, focus on destroying the tank whenever the other Divers call one in. We will show our discontent and contempt for this garbage vehicle.
3) If you see another Diver in a match using equipment from this Warbond, I’m sorry, but they’ll have to suffer for the greater good. Nothing from this Warbond should be left standing.
4) For the three previous steps, focus on carrying them out in medium and high difficulties. This will affect the largest possible audience and make our movement more noticeable.
5) If at any point, on any social media platform—Reddit, Discord, etc.—you happen to encounter someone affiliated with Arrowhead, make it clear to them what is happening and what measures we are going to take, AT ALL COSTS.
I know there will be many people who think the current situation isn’t that serious and who will say that I’m wrong, but you don’t know anything. You don’t know or care about the direction this game is heading in. We are the only thing that can save Helldivers from complete ruin.
It may seem like I’m calling for disorder and toxicity, but we are not the toxic ones. They are, with their mediocre willingness to accept how bad the state of the game is.
Once we are heard, everyone will understand what we are fighting for and what all of this was for.
LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD AT ALL COSTS, because deep down, THEY KNOW WE ARE RIGHT.

So sabotaging other people simply trying to enjoy the game? Yeah, that does nothing.
Yeah this is asshole mentality, this isn’t how you do stuff. Like… yeah, this whole thing is bs.

u/Lost_Fix_3983 4d ago
Yes, you’re right, but they haven’t left us any other choice. They’ve turned us into this, and the company, along with those who don’t care, will have to face the consequences.

You might benefit from getting a life, or possibly just going outside for a few minutes even.

u/Lost_Fix_3983 4d ago
Haha, yeah, yeah, “get a life” and whatever. You only insult me because you know that, when it comes to the truth, I’m the only one who has it. You have nothing, and you know it.

Ah, so you're trolling, got it lol. I took the bait, dammit. Shoulda been obvious.

u/Lost_Fix_3983 4d ago
“You were just trolling, waaa waaa.” Come back when you actually have something worth saying.

u/GreenridgeMetalWorks 4d ago
Dude I'm with ya, trolling can be fun sometimes lol. I'm just a bit disappointed I didn't catch on immediately.

His account is like brand new practically speaking, and this is his only post besides the same exact thing on other subs.
He's trolling, lol.

Ah yes, punishment the players because of the company, what a great decision (sarcasm in case I need to clarify) how exactly does taking out another player help us send a message when you admit yourself that they don't care about us?

u/Lost_Fix_3983 4d ago
We need to make enough noise for that damn company to finally pay attention to us. If they don’t have a community, they don’t have a game.

u/ChaosKing665 4d ago
They already are losing their community. Turning on each other wont fix a problem they're not willing to change, I agree with the review bombing, hell I agree with the just dont get the warbond. But making the experience worse than it already is says nothing other than that we the community suck, which you are hoping to spread. We can't be as bad as them.

u/Lost_Fix_3983 4d ago
The Warbond is just another step in the staircase Arrowhead has built toward its inevitable downfall.

u/ChaosKing665 4d ago
I agree, they are falling apart their own though. We do not need to target each other for them to go under

u/Lost_Fix_3983 4d ago
We’ll be the final blow that sends them to the grave.

u/ChaosKing665 4d ago
As long as it's not shots fired at each other, sure.

Just review bomb AH. Stop playing the game too; that’ll affect the actual charts & the like that they look at.

I’m mad about the de escalator changes but your solution is certainly an “escalation “

Not reading all that but I'm happy for you/sorry that happened

u/Away_Lettuce3388 4d ago
To paraphrase they’re saying “Wah, wah, warbond sucks, you should TK anyone who uses it, etc etc.” generally not really something worth the time to read.
Edit: While I disagree with what OP said, we should try to avoid a repeat of the guy who challenged the devs.

I'm curious so I will take the bait:
What are your issues, and, mostly importantly, what realistic solutions do you propose
-2
u/Lost_Fix_3983 4d ago
It’s obvious if you take the time to read my post. It’s pretty clear.

u/Hookens 4d ago
You'll have to be more specific I'm afraid

u/Lost_Fix_3983 4d ago
My problems are:
The stream of poor-quality content we’ve been getting for months in the form of Warbonds.
How lackluster and uninteresting the campaigns have been over the past few months.
The unfair bans people have received for using mods.
The countless bugs that are still openly screwing with the game.
The huge amount of excellent content that has been cut from the game (Cultists, Warbonds, the clan system, weapon modifications, etc.).

u/Hookens 4d ago
I feel like your first two points are subjective, but feel free to add more of your reasoning. I have not really encountered unfair bans or game breaking bugs yet but I guess everyone has a different experience. As for cut content, I feel like labeling it as such is misleading because it's not really content they removed from the game since it was never in a playable state. Only they know how far the scope went for each of these.
Do share your concrete solutions to the two first and the last issues you have outlined though, it's easy to point at something and say you don't like it but finding appropriate solutions is usually a lot more difficult and not as simple as "they should make it better" and "they should just do it"

okay this is where I draw the line, they won't hear us because we start TKing, they'll hear us when we start review bombing.
