Arrowhead keeps giving me reasons not to play the game I want to play the most
"unsure if I wanted to cry, scream dramatically into a pillow"
Seek help if a video game causes you to feel these extremities.
Naw... the mission was truly frustrating and it made folks feel like not playing because it was so broken in its difficulty. It really felt like they didn't want people to play the game... this lead to the biggest dip in players until they fixed it.
People want to play games because they are fun. They completely removed the fun factor from that mission and then if you beat it, you still got a mission failed.
Broken isn't fun. I completely understand the reaction.
It's fine to feel frustrated but to get this upset over it is outrageous. Most normal people just stopped playing it until it was fixed.

Not the game... this specific mission. It was well documented by the community and even though Arrowhead did fix it, the general consensus was that we want them to do better testing. The infinite Shriker spawn, the bug holes spawning on the drill, the fact that initially it wasn't possible to get a mission complete. We complained because we are fans and we enjoy playing but we also want the stiff tested too.
Me and my friends always play it in Helldive, and we complete the mission several times. You just need to counter with strategems the drilling sites for bug and bile swarm and the extraction site for shrieker swarm.
You must kill the biles and chargers right away, and always bring stun grenades for small groups attacking the drill. And about the shrieker swarm, 3 people should busy killing them, and 1 with shield to activate the extraction. After that just run in circles and you will be fine with shrieker attacks.
By the way, our levels are 103(me), 96, 89, and 52.
If a game gets you to that point out of frustration you need to seriously take a step back.
I’ve raged at a game and the way it knocked me out was the person I was seeing at the time literally got up and left the room. I was embarrassed by that and told myself I’d never let that happen again. I’ve never felt like crying out of frustration… that one’s a little beyond me, but if you get to that point, really step back and take a breather.
EMS Strike and few stun grenades got the job done. Keep killings until you are getting close to being overrun, then EMS strike at the drill, then a few grenades to hold them off.
The dark fluid mission was that most fun I’ve had on that game since launch. It was absolute chaos but it was very well done. I was very sad to see it go, it literally was the only thing i looked forward to playing after work.
Un-nerfing the railgun would be my first choice for tweaks.
