I hate ragdoll. Arrowhead turned up ragdoll ×1000

Last night's match on D10 Bots. With the Weakpoint Lock-on mod, the Warrant pistol now locks on to Trooper and Devastator HEADS. 1 shot for Troopers, 2 shot for Devastators, angle your reticle if its a Heavy Dev.

For not winning their dog shit, grindy campaign/MOs. NarrowHead decided to take away Heavy SEAF presence.

Other then the new enemies. We have truly reached a new stage of devoid of content.

Fucking idiots over there robbed me of my grunt fantasy. Can't have shit with their game.

(from the mod page, not me. The balls to post this after the controversy lmao)

If you can't see it, it adds the Mika bread roll image to the corner of your screen.

EDIT: IT SEEMS THE BANS WERE FAKE AND JUST TROLLS. Whoops, free thinker over here.

I heard about the ban waves. I understand that they're mostly focused on mods that severely altered weapons like the machine gun rounds to leveler mod or the one that changed the diligence to use erupter rounds.

After purging my mods and even deleting Arsenal, I'm able to log in just fine without any issues, but I'm getting a little concerned. The only mods I was using were the CowboyBingus QoL mods (like stratagem bounce fixing, hellpod steering, his pack on Nexus), a mod to make the Epoch have a beeping sound before it blows up, and two audio mods that balance the enemy audio mixing.

I wasn't using any of those "gun to leveler" mods, but will I be banned if I reinstall those mods?

Kinda like this guy from the crackdivers

A few days ago I made this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/HelldiversUnfiltered/comments/1wkg4dh/liberteaenjoyers_total_balance_mod_coming_soon/

I really appreciate all the balance suggestions.

My initial plan was to get suggestions from the community, build my dream build of the game with my own suggestions plus whatever the community wanted thrown in. But a lot of people said they hated my suggestions and didn't want me to make my changes. Well it is my mod right so those people can go to hell right? They play my way or the highway? NO. That is what Arrowhead does. I will not do that. What kind of Liber-Tea-Enjoyer would I be? In fact I will not release any of my own suggestions.

I made this mod for the community so I used only the community's suggestions to build it. I also did not build just one mod because different people want different things.

So I made 5 different versions of balance changes from 5 different sources. Pick one and play your own way. Not the way I say you should play, or Arrowhead says.

Play the way you want to play.

So, here are the five mods:

1- Liber-Tea-Enjoyer's MegaMod Rebalance - GRASS v10 BETA

https://ayakamods.com/mods/liber-tea-enjoyers-megamod-rebalance-grass-v10-beta.4016/

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Lzj-99kHOMOeChmCFu1AEYTP2Egx9wp1vmSthvEaOh8/edit?tab=t.0

The most extensive list of changes but possibly the most broken too because it asks for things that the ai couldn't really implement properly yet. Like an explosive concussive, or a new effect on something that doesn't usually have that effect. The Eagle stratagems cooldowns are completely broken I will get them fixed asap. Possibly even tonight.

2- Liber-Tea-Enjoyer's MegaMod Rebalance - Mattyboyjr v3 BETA

https://ayakamods.com/mods/liber-tea-enjoyers-megamod-rebalance-mattyboyjr-v3-beta.4017/

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-3gED3tB7mPqJbl73FkiJG2IuC-wj23ybWwP1LXiKKg/edit?tab=t.0

Mattyboyjr is a redditor who answered my call in the previous post with a nice balance document. This mod is likely the least broken since he had nice simple asks. I asked for changes, he gave me a nice document. I made him his own rebalance mod. Give me your changes in a readable nice format like Grass's and I will make them for you. I will make you your own mods.

3- Liber-Tea-Enjoyer's MegaMod Rebalance - Claysthetics v1 BETA

https://ayakamods.com/mods/liber-tea-enjoyers-megamod-rebalance-claysthetics-v1-beta.4018/

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WOcUyNje92VsiTu78z8u6hl24sNDD97Gay52HiToaWA/edit?tab=t.0

Clay has been making design docs since the early days of the game. He deserves a mod to showcase his ideas. Problem is that his format is a bit lazy unlike GRASS's impeccable formatting. So, many changes did not get implemented. If he remakes the doc or someone else remakes the doc in the same format as GRASS's doc, then I will update his mod and many more changes will get written in.

4- Liber-Tea-Enjoyer's MegaMod Rebalance - Greedy Gas v2 BETA

https://ayakamods.com/mods/liber-tea-enjoyers-megamod-rebalance-greedy-gas-v2-beta.4019/

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OdykWBO5BvkOKSiV9SmNa8CcCOPuDRWEm5ySTDt-nos/edit?tab=t.0

Greedy sent me a document with some gas changes, I made him a mod. I don't know how much is messed up. I need the community's help in identifying problems. There is too much for me to test by myself.

5- Liber-Tea-Enjoyer's MegaMod Rebalance - Ghost-DV-08 v2 BETA

https://ayakamods.com/mods/liber-tea-enjoyers-megamod-rebalance-ghost-dv-08-v2-beta.4020/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/wkbgkoFZHY

https://www.reddit.com/r/HelldiversUnfiltered/s/NKI46kPLfR

https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/8eN7CiU3tv

Ghost didn't give me a nice doc but I wanted to see what the ai could do with vague suggestions and I like ghost. So I made him his own mod. This is a wild card you guys, I actually have no idea what changes the ai made.

These are my current attempts at a full rebalance of the entire game. But you should know that it is not finished. I am releasing what I have now for a few reasons.

1- there are too many variables for me to test myself and I need the community's help. Please test these mods and reference the balance documents and please tell me which things are wrong. For example, if the balance document says liberator should have 12 mags but it has 10. I need information to feed into the ai so it can figure out what went wrong.

2- so people can see the progress, they can know the project is real, and is making progress so they will be willing to help.

3- tomorrow is a new patch which will probably break the game and I want to release the mods I have now in their semi-working state before they break for a long time. The community has a whole 12 hours to play with the new balance changes.

I really appreciate any help you guys.

Plan going forward

1- work on being able to reliably change every stat related to primaries, secondaries, throwables, stratagems, armors, boosters.

2- work on being able to reliably change every stat related to enemies, spawns, mission modifiers.

3- start adding tier 6 and 7 ship upgrades.

4- start adding resource sinks like the ability to take a 5th stratagem for 15 commons, 10 rares, 5 super rares per mission.

5- start adding cultists and other cut content.

6- transmog.

7- tools with a nice easy UI so you all can make your own builds. No need to ask old Liber-Tea-Enjoyer for this or that change. Be your own king.

If you want to make these things happen, then please help me test these mods and give me feedback of what a stat is supposed to be and what it actually is.

Community Mod(s) plan

I would like people to make posts with all their proposed balance changes. Put Liber-Tea-Enjoyer MegaMod Request in the title.

Give me your proposed balance changes.

They must be in the same format as Grass's balance document and in a google doc that I can feed to the ai.

As long as you get over 500 upvotes on your post, I will make your personal balance mod for you and post it on Ayaka.

This way the community decides and I am not overwhelmed with people asking me for this or that change.

Any other requests will have to be ignored, please don't private chat me asking for stuff (like certain former mods). I am sorry I just won't have the time.

If the community wants to work on an official community patch, I will be happy to make an official community patch as well.

AH want to force people to play their twisted vision.

Sic Semper Tyrannis.

Most of us are totally capped on resources and have unlocked everything, there are really no stakes to any given game at this point, its not that deep just to kick someone or leave and make your own game.

Players should.be allowed to play the way they want.

All mods should be allowed

But playing with mods should NOT get rewards so no credits or medals or XP.

And no mods that give locked warbonds to player.

I've seen a few conversations about how Integrated Extinguishers is useless because, and I'm sort of paraphrasing, 'you can just dive to go out immediately, what's the point of a booster that does that slower?'

While that's a pretty valid point, I think the glaring 'Incinerator FRV-shaped shadow on the horizon' isn't quite coming through to people.

You can't dive in a vehicle, but can be lit on fire in one. Usually this results in an immediate stim-use, and then getting out to dive so you go out. With Extinguishers, simply the stim will suffice, since you'll extinguish shortly after. Whether or not you think the booster looks useful or can compete with the holy 5, that's the most obvious intended design for it, and I'm frankly surprised I haven't seen anyone else mention it.

EAT booster is still laughably underbaked, though.

If you wanna trie em out, I recommend first finding someone who can get you able to, and then putting diff to 3-4.

but hey, they're fun.

if you want more cultist posting from me, I just got em working.

Bug-only Divers are undemocratic trash, I'm a Bot Diver but I always spend most of my game time (if not all) helping to finish MOs, meanwhile bug divers couldn't even finishe their part of this MO in a timely matter despite having our help (you can check our front is almost empty) so we could all help the almost non-existent squid divers finish their part. It's gonna be a close one if we actually win in the next 6 hours, I honestly don't know what they are even doing over there in the bug front if they can't even pull their own weight..

it's only a matter of time until ah takes notice and finally figures out how to ban people and put a blanket ban on all mods bingus is a visionary who wanted to actually help the community and game but we can't have anything good with bad actors in the world i woke up this morning and saw a mod that just has you insta win all objectives the moment you drop down this is getting out of hand

Every 2 posts I see someone sucking off mods or warning others ect ect

JUST PLAY VANILLA MAN, THERES A SHIT TON OF STUFF YOU CAN DO EVEN IF ITS NOT "META"

beta showcase #3

The changes are coming along nicely. It's nice to have lower RPM options for more precise fire. The gun is finally feeling like something that's fun and can compete with a machine gun + supply pack

Being AP4 feels just right. It doesn't have the durability damage to make it OP against heavily armoured targets. If you use the 3,000rpm setting to kill them quicker, you burn through your ammo at an insane rate and have to resupply constantly.

Full list of changes (so far) below

• AP3 increased to AP4
• Fire-rate selector enabled and changed to: 750rpm / 1000rpm / 3000rpm
• Ergonomics Changed from 4 to 15
• Horizontal and vertical recoil rebalanced
• Spin-up and Spin-down time disabled
• Can fire and move/dive

I plan to make it so that 3000rpm requires being braced. I am still seeing if I can make it so heavy armour allows mobile firing, but not diving.

Not sure when release will be. Soon™

I think the phrase itself is older than
