It’s been a strange period for Helldivers 2 and its community. The players expected quite a lot for the anniversary. But, they were unpleasantly surprised that the devs’ plans differed from their wishes. Some players were even more disappointed when the devs made some balancing changes to some of the weapons from the latest Warbond. Thus, some players thought it was appropriate to loudly express their dissatisfaction and start calling out the devs. Thankfully, the Helldivers 2 community is always there to put a stop to bullying.
Some Players Have Been Bullying the Devs
If you’re actively playing, or even just following the news about this game, you know that the recent patch introduced plenty of fixes and did some balancing. According to some players, the Ultimatum was “ruined” in the process.
We’ve seen hundreds of complaints critiquing the developers for every decision they’ve made recently. Now, it’s impossible that the devs have been making so many mistakes, right? It’s entirely possible that players are just unsatisfied with the lack of content so they are taking out their anger on devs for everything they do.
Unfortunately, this can become quite a big issue. Historically speaking, the developers actively listened to all of the players’ suggestions. This is a privilege that doesn’t happen too often in the gaming world, and it shouldn’t be abused.
Palpy_Bean noted: “I just read the patch notes for the Ultimatum and it reads like an anxiety-filled kid talking to their parents about something they think will make them mad”. Truth be told, we’ve thought the same thing while reading the patch notes.
Helldivers 2 Community Stands by Developers
We have to admit, we’re always proud to be a part of the Helldivers 2 community, especially when the players tackle important issues such as bullying. It was truly heart-warming to see how seriously the community approached this topic.
One player noted: “It’s gotten to the point where players are basically bullying the devs. If you read the recent patch notes they almost sound scared to release this update. Guys, just let the devs do their job. Sometimes things do need to be changed to make the game better. This community has become more toxic because any opinion other than “buff weapon more” is immediately a reason to be hated”.
HDB2gamergirl added: “Dear devs, I’ve looked at the discord just minutes after the patch. People are already calling it nerfing the fun out of the game. The patch is perfect. Sickle is working as intended now and might be even better than before! And the less ammo for the ultimatum was also okay, you can still run the supply pack or just go look for ammo packs on the map. Please don’t bully the devs for doing their job just fine”.
We thoroughly agree with this stance. Sure, during the summer, the devs nerfed the weapons into oblivion, but this isn’t that. The developers compensated for their past mistakes. Every game needs balance. If every weapon is overpowered, the game becomes boring.
So, let’s let the devs do their job without feeling anxious and having to explain every tiny decision. Let’s trust them, as they did make the game we all love. While they are cooking, we have some quite important missions to finish. The MO is slowly coming to an end, and if we don’t unite, we will fail. So, join us on Irulta. For Liberty and Super Earth.
