    THIS IS A RANT AND ME SPEAKING MY THOUGHTS. YOU MAY OR MAY NOT AGREE, THAT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE! THIS GAME IS FUN! BUT THERE ARE A BUNCH OF TOXIC PEOPLE WITHIN THIS COMMUNITY WHO ARE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH IT BY BEING IN GREATER NUMBERS.

    I bought the game and couldn't play it for two weeks. Only got to play it two or three times after that since I have a job. Then the update came out and now it's unplayable for different reasons. I'm not enjoying it. It's basically a run in circles until stratagems come off cool down simulator. There are waaaay too many spawns, to the point you literally can't shoot anything. It's not hard. I can beat the game by just running away constantly and spamming stratagems. It's not a fun way to play. So it's not a "git good" issue. It's just boring.

    I’m level 93 and finally got bored. I’ve had a lot of good experiences with joining random lobbies but a few bad, and just those few bad ones makes me tense every time I join wondering if this group will suck or not but that’s the deal and it’s mostly been positive. I’m bored with the same map types, same missions, same enemies. The last warbond was underwhelming and we haven’t gotten any new super store gear in a long time. I’d love to see some more novel variation in level design (city, on a ship, giant factory, underground, etc.) but I know these things take time so I’ll probably shelf it for a while. I do wish there was some sort of mentor opportunity (maybe earn medals or req. to help new trainees) or something. It was rough getting into the game. Learning all of the weapons, how stratagems function, mission objectives. I had a rough time until I found a good group that coached me up. And last but not least, the crashing blows. Had it happen end of mission today and I rage quit. I can deal with the bugs they need to iron out but crashing after 35 minutes on a mission is going to make a lot of people choose a different game.

    21:40 I was playing with a friend yesterday and we stumbled onto a flyer nest having NO idea that they existed. It was incredible to all of a sudden be dealing with a brand new enemy type out of the blue. We were both screaming "What are THOSE?!" And panicking as we desperately shot them all down. I'm so glad they did not explicitly tell me they were in the game now, and I instead got that moment of discovery. Wouldn't trade it for anything actually.

    Maybe isn't a skill issue but it is 100% an experience issue. At least from the game play that you have playing int he background, both you and your team have little to no battlefield awareness. You all are constantly killing eachother both intentionally and unintentionally. The game is hard yes and if you are playing on a difficulty that you are dying constantly on, then you very obviously do not have the experience or ship upgrades to handle that level of play. Not once have I been kicked from a game or team killed intentionally, you and your friends however kill other helldivers constantly. The patch came out and many people hated it, then through playing and experience, many of us found ways around it. It forced us to think and adapt to a changing battlefield and if that isn't something you're into, then maybe this game is just not for you. There are much more casual games out there to play, especially on a more demanding work schedule

  • @Sushi__Sama
    @Sushi__Sama 3 місяці тому +8

    Watching the video and writing this as I go through it.
    1: "The community for helldivers is going to ruin helldivers."
    I feel like when people say things like the community is toxic, they almost always are just referring to the reddit, and although it is true that the reddit was a cesspool around the railgun nerf both before and after the nerf, it is and wasn't that bad. With all that said, no, the "community" isn't going to ruin the game. The community at large is completely normal; it is the extreme vocal outliers that go out of their way to bitch and moan about every little thing and the people that try to counter them by screaming just as loud back at them that make it seem so much worse than it actually is in reality. (The discord is a degenerate hovel, though.)
    2:"Something that I have started to realize and see a lot more is that the developers are slowly starting, not to kill the game or anything, but I think they're hurting the game for the players, who would probably spend a lot more time playing if it was just that little bit more fun."
    So I am going to start this one off by saying that this means absolutely nothing at face value. I am writing this before I hear the rest of this point, but I just want to say clearly that saying that the game is less fun means absolutely nothing at face value, as fun is completely and entirely subjective. | This is picking up after writing the first bit of that, and I am going to say that nothing of substance was added by what I assume was the end of this "point." Basically, he just rambled saying the game isn't fun a few more times with no indication of what his concept of fun is before moving on.
    (Yes, I am done quoting specific points; it is a pain in the balls to do and I am over it, plus the points kind of become a bit too rambly for me to realistically quote.)
    3:On the subject of people getting kicked during missions, it is basically as follows: If you don't want to get kicked, then host. I play almost exclusively solo and/or with randoms, and I have never kicked anyone in my games. I also don't queue into random games, so I can't really say much on this other than, if it bothers you, then play solo (which, contrary to claims in the video, is completely doable even on helldiver difficulty). Host yourself or play in a premade group. Otherwise, just like with literally every single other game on the market that lets you play randomly matched with a dedicated host, suck it up and move on if it happens. It seems like "generally" we agree on this subject... I think? It's hard to tell.
    4:The modifiers that specifically nerf stratagems are unequivocally unfun, and I think most people can agree. There is no real counterplay to them; they are just a blanket nerf to your kit that reduces your ability to do "things." I don't like them, my friends don't like them, no one likes them.
    5: Ok, so the tangent at 10 minutes is a whole cluster of jibberish to work through, but here it goes: Yes, your kit is meant to be situational. As much as you may not like to hear this, you are not Master Chief; you are a rank-and-file expendable grunt. You aren't a one-man army killing machine designed for the sole purpose of war; you are an undertrained, underequiped, squishy little soldier fighting gigantic mega bugs and hulking metallic war machines. I am sure some brainlet has used that comparison as a legitimate retort before, but the meatier answer is way simpler; it's difficulty. Do you want the authentic experience of what a helldiver faces? Then play the difficulty labled "Helldiver," where unless you are a unit, you will get your shit slapped harder than my schmeat on a Sunday night. If you want to be a one man army mega badass killing machine, go down to the lower difficulties, where that is what you are. If you want to play at the higher difficulties but find the gameplay to be "unfun," then that is a you problem. That isn't the fault of anyone else or the game; it is your flawed understanding of what playing those difficulties at your level of skill should be like.
    Alright, I can't handle much more than 10 minutes of this, so I will end with this. Although I think most of what has been said up to this point is complete nonsense, the people in the comments who are exclusively saying skill issue aren't a whole lot better. I think a lot of the complaints up to this point aren't exactly skill issue but more so a lack of skill awareness and a lack of understanding of where you realistically should be playing your games at in terms of difficulty, and with the general tone of the concerns being super vague things like "game not fun, cus not fun," I don't think anything else of substance is going to be said in the next 20 minutes. I appreciate that this is a rant, and you probably weren't being as eloquent with your points as you probably would have liked, and I'm not about to judge someone for their off-cuff ranting. All in all, I'd recommend just moving on from the game if it bothers you enough to make a rant about it. I'm sure you say more things later in the video, but to be honest, I can't make myself sit through the next 20 minutes, my guy. Sorry.

    as for toxic players yes , i do agree there needs to be measures put in place to curb those tendencies , i for one have probably been team killed more than being killed by the AI , and kicking people just as the match is about to end is just plain wrong.

    I agree that the strategem nerfing modifiers aren't fun. After I got all the super samples I needed, I tend to play diff 6 where those modifiers are less intrusive, as well as always hosting or playing with friends where we pick the missions and modifiers so we can avoid ones we dislike the most.
    The part where you claimed planets don't have cover ... that is not true. THere are planets like Draupnir that have cliffs, valleys and hills, as well as rocks and trees. It depends on the planet you drop on.
    Right now I think eradicate missions are insane with spawn rates .... just not fun because you don't have the option of running to repoisition and manage the advancing army.

    @twilightexecutioner728 3 місяці тому +7

    I can't believe there are people in this comment section who say that the railgun was the "only viable option" before the nerfs, no it was not. The word viable and best are two different things, there are many other weapons and strategies that exist in the game to overcome armoured heavies, many of them heavily skill based. For example, many people use the EAT to kill bile titans, to do so you line the titan up with the drop pod for maximum damage, dive under them, grab a launcher, hit the head, dive under again, grab the last EAT, one more to the head. Each landed headshot staggers and will interrupt any of its attacks. If it still isn't dead (which depending on the angle you got the pod to drop on the titan), that was just one of your strategems... you have 3 more. Plus, its a team game, there is no build in this game that is all-purpose that does super well, a player who specialises in taking down heavies will always do more to a titan than a player who only uses 1 heavy strategem (like the orbital railcannon for example).
    This game is HEAVILY team reliant, you are supposed to have roles in a team, a guy who brings support weapons and strategems, a scout, an infantry clearer, a tank, an aoe clearer, a nest destroyer, a heavy killer, a long range hard hitter, a close range objective rusher, a medic, so on so forth. Plan your strategy, analyse the necessary loadouts for your missions. If you are doing a defense mission, take turrets, support weapons, emplacements, etc. If you are running a bug blitz mission, take and autocannon and railgun with some aoe clear and maybe one guy with orbitals for heavies.
    It's okay to rant, to let off some steam, but don't 180 a try to defend your rant by claiming it's not a skill issue or whatever other reason, because I'm sorry but it clearly is. I have the most fun running lower level missions and messing around with friends. I have only ever once encountered a troll team, who kicked me anyway 2 mins in, and I STILL found it funny because they were just randoms and I wasn't there to try hard. I have many times, played at helldive with randoms, and EVERY time they are always on comms, discussing drop location, weapon loadouts, etc casually, without needing to be asked about it. They still had fun, and working together to clear damned hard missions is very fun for the serious player base. Some of my best memories are barely scraping through as the last man alive in helldive with all the resources on me and no strats left in overtime. You are more than entitled to your opinion, and it is valid, but you must understand that it is your personal issue. Saying "it is not a skill issue" in your comments makes it sound like this isn't a you problem, a personal rant, but more of a game problem, and it just isn't a game problem.
    For the rest who think you should be able to solo the top 3 difficulties, this game might not be for you, and that's ok. I'm not overstepping, I'm not insulting you, I'm not being too harsh, learn to understand that some games are not made for you. Try jumping into a game with some randoms, talk on the mic, and try to get them together and strategize. I have made many friends on the game now that I regularly grind hard and easy missions with alike.
    Also to add one last thing, it looks like the people you are playing with are not respecting the game like you are. I know this sounds ridiculous, but when you want to succeed in a game and play at the highest level, you need to do the same. You need to respect that charger charging at you and play around the mechanics properly to deal with it, you need to respect that bile titan spitting at you and plan accordingly how to deal with one if it pops up. Your friends don't seem to actually care about winning the game that much, and are constantly team killing and wasting strats. It may sound harsh, but if your friend group just isn't into the game that much, or how they play annoys you or holds you back, either tell them that, or find another team to enjoy it with. It isn't fair to blame the game for you not taking it seriously enough.
    If you made it to the end of this, I salute you, son of democracy. I'LL SEE YOU IN ROBO-NAM.

    Ignore the obvious get good stuff, and skill issue.
    The game is very difficult and punishing at times, downright oppressive when the spawn rates go crazy. Ive had 6 difficulty missions feel like 8 before.
    The difficulty isn't ok for casuals, and i dont want the game to only be driven by the top players like destiny.
    I play 7/8 diff when i want the challenge but 6 just feels like a cake walk sometimes. Its a weird diff jump for sure.
    The weapons need to be buffed up, not to make the game easier but to make it more fun, simple as that.
    Why give the machine gun 2 mags? "Oh you should conserve ammo blah blah" its a horde shooter where it feels good to hold down the trigger and destroy bugs, but you can't viably do that. There just isnt enough ammo for the gun which guzzles ammo... So you just dont take the gun. Fun...
    I think youre right, even though i like the diff on the higher settings, i feel like the game is leaving behind the drop in, chill out vibe it may have began with.
    There rrally is only a handful of viable load outs, although you could definitely do it with less than stellar choices, it also becomes a drag again.
    If the top 5-10 percent of players dictate the trajectory of this game it will be boring before we know it.

    it's the volume of stuff that makes it too hard. it's fine a bile titan or charger being a nightmare to take down, the problem is the hundred things that spawn with them and 2 or 3 others that show up at the same time. if there's a bile titan or charger, reduce the chaff that's spawning in with it, so it feels like the mini boss fight it's meant to be. if there's no chargers or titans, fine, spawn a billion critters and hope i don't get overwhelmed. it's too tough to have a boss fight and kite a horde of enemies at the same time when you have no effective weapons.

But anyways, if you are one of the people like myself who has come to realize how flawed the game is and the community, just, play deep rock galactic.
    DRG is Helldivers, but better in every single way (besides graphics). The game is better, difficulty makes sense, it’s balanced well, the community is great, the gameplay itself is fun and not nearly as repetitive as Helldiver’s is.

    Sometimes, players may struggle to improve their skills and instead of acknowledging their areas for growth, they blame the game mechanics. This can be due to a variety of reasons such as frustration, lack of understanding of the game’s mechanics, or difficulty accepting their current skill level. It’s important to remember that everyone has different learning curves and improvement comes with time and practice. It’s always more constructive to focus on learning and improving rather than blaming the game :D

    At 7+ difficulty, everything in the arsenal hits like a pillow, and you get swamped basically immediately. And I don't know what the hell they did to bile spewers, but even mag-dumping into them won't kill them off, it's ridiculous. You can only carry so much AT/strats to deal with them, and running doesn't work because they'll just chase you until you run into another patrol/nest/factory/breach.

      @@Bennjipie to be fair, it's pretty easy to get pinned down in 7+ when you have a couple chargers running amok, a titan, and a bunch of spewers just dumping artillery down on your head. On top of being swarmed by smaller mobs. Throw in a couple commanders or stalkers and stuff can get out of hand really quick, and then you're basically screwed if you're running in a pug.

    There are definitely a few problems. Like a some stratagems being just a little too underpowered or taking too long to call back. But this video honestly does sound like just a skill issue. They nerfed spawn rates of bigger enemies to compensate for the railgun being nerfed to where it's supposed to be. I've been playing on harder difficulties as a duo with few problems as the recoiless rifle and the EAT will take out most bigger enemies in one or two hits, while the railgun still cleans up brood commanders. For the bots, the anti-material rifle works great as well as the EAT with some smokes. Yeah, it's hard. But that's kind of the point of the higher levels. You can't just run around with your brain off, you still gotta think a little tactically to avoid problems. And with the nerfing and buffing of all these things, there are now new ways to play instead of your standard Breaker, shield, 500kg, cluster/bombing run. I get to have different loadouts for different fronts and different missions.

    You have to play at least haz4 or else you won't even GET orange samples... Than they tell you that only MORE enemies will appear instead of making their hp higher... Thing is, you will have so many high hp maggots who will acid kill you from affar... And only killing them helps. And that's an insta kill mind you! And despite laying prone? It still needs a full magazine from the auto sniper in the head to kill it.. So at least a 107 dmg x 20 rounds. And it wouldn't be a problem if these maggot heavys wouldn't be so fast. .... And if you use nades? They will just move away... If you use impact granades? You get blown away by your own blast wave... (tried that from high ground.... The impact literally made me fall off and die so many times) Sure the game has good moments... But usually you get kicked for bringing mines? Your cluster airstrike doesn't manage to kill a single bug hole, once again? When you throw your biggest air strike at the biggest enemy... But they get aggroed despite you beeing in perfect throwing distance? And they shouldn't even notice you anyway since you have scout armor on? This game is the land of inconvience.... What's all the arsenal worth if it only works 50% of the time as it should? I'm respawned trying to find my backpack and probes 90% of the time anyway. Not to mention all the hidden abilities of your gear that you don't even know about unless someone on UA-cam tells you. So every game I have to tell my team that I know where everything is and that they should stick together? But half of them don't even know there is an ingame chat to begin with. And the problem is the the gameplays pacing. You are constantly in a fight one way or another. And that makes you get sloppy, cause you constantly have to adept to everyone's speed. And you feel like you need to be by their side and help them. And most of them want to power threw guns blazing? And some like to be more tactical and make plans. And this doesn't mix well. That's one reason why I turned off cross play, cause I had so many bad experiences with some might say stereotypical cod kiddos... And that's where I say you have to consider the time and progress of the other players and say: if you can play it safe? Than play it safe. I so love placing mines and kiting the world enemies into it? And than fly out with my jet pack. But too many cooks are dangerous. And than they get angry at me for getting killed by one of my mines. I know it's supposed to be this chaotic? But even that has limit to its statement. I just want to enjoy my time on the lower difs and enjoy the scenery. But to block half of the game out for me? Cause I will only get green samples this way? That's a problem. I suggest a coaching system, in which you help lower players and get rare samples from it as a reward. Problem solved. PPL who have good reaction time thrive in this game? To the rest of us, it feels more like an more masochistic version of takeshi's castle. Some find that funny? Some don't.

I think it’s fair to be annoyed by that.

    I did forget to mention in my previous comment that other than one time, I have never been kicked from an active session (sometimes I join a ship session and get kicked because they're trying to get friends in, which is perfectly fine). I do not know what you are doing or saying to these people, but I find it hard to believe you are being killed on purpose consistently and kicked for no reason at all. People simply do not play like that, that I have ever seen at least. I am not saying it doesn't happen, as I have mentioned it did happen to me once, but that is it. Most serious players will only kick you if you are inexperienced and are dragging the team down, costing them resources and reinforcements. If you are constantly joining higher level missions that you ARE NOT ready for or equipped for, and are constantly making mistakes, then yes, you should be kicked, you should be dropped for someone taking the game more seriously. That is not a community issue, this would be the case in any game, and in real life as well. There is a reason a freshly recruited soldier does not lead an army into battle.

But this is just for like 1% of the player base, maybe less, in my experience, and the ones that are more "serious" they name their lobbies with "requirements" to join.

    I do not play this game or payday 2. And do not know any of the people you are talking about. What I do know is the rant was poorly organized. What I mean to say is your skill at explaining the issue was just not there. Expressing thoughts is one thing, but this sounded more like a child complaining than ranting. It seemed like a tantrum. I must ask if this video is for the public why post it like this? I cannot imagine what percent of people are watching this all the way through, but it is very likely extremely low. So it just seems like you wanted to complain on a public forum because you are mad and want someone to listen which is not entertaining, it is not informative, and frankly I would ask you why treat the subscribers who you obviously want to keep around like a group to listen to your unorganized rant (rambling.) In my opinion privatize this and make something we can actually understand or relate to. And you might not have to reply to hate comments, but people vote with their feet.

I do find myself saying “ wow that was cheap” when getting absolutely wreaked at the pick up , where all of a sudden every enemy is mobbing me at extraction when I didn’t have it that hard during the mission. Idk it’s hard to say. You go messing with balance and you end up tipping the scales in the wrong direction and right now I believe it’s slightly In the wrong direction.

    Though you bring up a ton of good points, and it's very obvious that Helldivers is objectively NOT FAIR and NOT balanced.......
    Your actual point is just wrong. I promise you, I've spent far more time in game than you have. I had level 50 within a week and a half of the game being out.
    I started playing on Helldive difficulty and NEVER decreased the difficulty from there. I have pretty much everything in the warbonds, and I still manage to play for a couple of hours every day.
    Helldivers 2 needs a lot of work. Maybe you'd find it more enjoyable if these problems were ironed out, but you'd still be left with a massive skill issue. I can see that in your gameplay.
    I complain A LOT about this game. There's a bunch of things that piss me off, and there's poor design choices being made. But that doesn't mean the game is mid......... Because it's OBJECTIVELY NOT. There's nearly a million players steady population on just ONE PLATFORM (not including PlayStation.) Most of the time the mainstream opinion is NOT the correct one. In cases like Fortnite or Call of Duty, the playerbase are just dumbfuck losers with low standards. But this time, there's an exception.... This game is a masterpiece. Not without its flaws, but DEFINITELY a master-piece. If you don't like it, go play something else! But don't you dare try to convince the rest of us that it's mid. No....... Payday2 is MID. You have fun with your pay to win and repetitive gameplay loop! I'm gonna go spread democracy! Dive on chumps!

    • @Bennjipie

      the game has an average of 200k people playing, thats not near a million. that gameplay is from when i first started playing and was having fun with friends. saying you got to level 50 in a week and a half is not a flex. you say i made good points but then say im wrong, modifiers and specific things in the game make it unfun at times. i said that you can beat the harder modes, but it isnt fun to do so some of the time, its not a skill issue, just stating that the game could be in a better state which you had said, once it gets ironed out. of course their are going to be issues, your reaction of saying play a different game and skill issue for me stating that there are problems makes no sense, how do you expect the game to get better if everyone says everything is good? payday 2 is not mid, and like helldivers 2 its not meant for everyone. stop using the word mid, i never said that. its okay to say that there are things wrong with something, be a rational thinker. see both sides to a situation instead of getting upset

    Tl;Dr game hard, not skill issue.
    I have a lot of options on the game as a lot has happened, the shield having twice the downtime to recharge hurts now that enemy numbers and aggro has increased. Hunters especially can f off. I've heard the railgun is inconsistent penitration in unsafe mode, they reduced the number of elites and increased every other type of enemies. Running to stop and take pot shots only to run away again is boring not to mention the noise your causing now patrols are chasing you more enemies more running. CEO says to rely on stratagems for elites, pretending the rail and shield isn't a stratagem, but have several mission modifiers that make is harder to rely on them, giving us a new warbond pass that has a booster to decrease enemy spawns chances feels dirty. GASP. Devs adding stuff and not telling us is a cool surprise sure but what else are they adding/changing and not telling us, the distrust has started and lastly all the above is being dismissed by "skill issue" by players and rouge devs really hurts.

In 1 match you get one bug breach per engagement and then another its an endless loop. Right now there is no consistency and it’s frustrating

    I don't think they should announce absolutely everything. What they should do is let us see hidden stats of support weapons and such but a new enemy being secret is fun. Regarding the mech, you're supposed to use it against bugs. Most of the stratagems are only good against one faction.

  • @Tubs-in4sy
    @Tubs-in4sy 3 місяці тому +2

    Honestly, I don't know if this video is satire because a lot of these points are truly just skill issues even if you're stuck coping that they aren't. I say this because you have implemented the Law of Belief on yourself. Saying you are going to have a bad time and manifesting you are going to have a bad time, is going to result in have a bad time. Just like IRL interactions like first dates, if you manifest you are confident and a CHAD, you will act more confident but if you put yourself down and are afraid of xyz, you will act as such. Jeezzz, I love psychology.
    I'm educating here since you're saying the railgun is bad now but it's not, it's just not the only staple anymore but STILL an effective option. Turrets getting destroyed or running out of ammo? UPGRADE the ship modules. Still getting destroyed? Find better placement. Getting shot by a turret in a game where friendly fire is real? Get out of its line of fire i.e. don't stand in the direction enemies are approaching from. The Breaker nerf wasn't bad at all, -3 shots in the mag and increased it's laserbeam recoil to laserbeam recoil? It's STILL S-tier but caused a lot more experimentation in people and everyone noticed how diverse this game really is in terms of effective options i.e. Slugger, Punisher, Liber PEN, Scorcher, Jar-5, Sickle and Blitzer. Some are good against both factions but not 100% effective and others only against one faction but more effective than the others and each play different roles.
    Before I speak on counter play (higher difficulties) you only have 4 stratagem slots, meaning you can't fit every role in a CO-OP game by yourself. Although, there are plenty youtubers who post their SOLO Helldives and make it look like cake POST railgun nerf and AI tuning. If you want counter play on the highest difficulties then play what you are lacking i.e. Orbital railcannon (Anti Tank), Rocket pods (Anti Tank), EAT17 (Anti Tank), Recoilless Rifle (Anti Tank), Arc Thrower (Anti Mob and Tank), Flamethrower (Anti Mob and Tank BUGS ONLY), Grenade Launcher (Anti Mob), Autocannon (Anti Mob), Mech/Exo Suit (Anti Mob and Tank usage on BUGS preferred the bots will kill you fast because of ranged weapons i.e. rockets, tanks) and Railgun is STILL GOOD seeing the shot bounce but not the ricochet icon means you are doing damage but not 100% easiest to see on the railgun post nerf. I didn't say Orbital Laser because the laser itself doesn't have armor pen, the burn damage it inflicts is what kills heavies for the bugs but against the bots, its 100% effective. Personally, I wouldn't use the railgun against the bugs but against the bots, it COOKS. Just like how the DMRs are really good against the bots and NOT the bugs because shot placement is key. Wait does that mean the Anti-Material rifle is good against the bots? YES.
    The exosuit self kill is only when turning right and you fire a rocket without waiting for the mech to orient itself, this occurs (my intuition) because they forgot to code the rockets like the other weapons in the game, instead of the rockets firing out in the direction you are oriented, they fire from a centered location on the rocket salvo pods to the direction you are looking which then collides with the mech in flight. Similar to why you can head glitch in games like COD because the bullets are fired from your forehead and not the gun itself like heldivers.
    Joel (DM/CEO) is making the changes on the low, because this game is a war in the lore. In war, you won't know everything that is evolving and the Devs and most of the community love that. They love the "Fog of War" idea but they also post patch notes on other things like bug fixes and balancing that aren't war evolution's. So, instead they are introduced in the major orders. The sighting events are rare events (like a shiny pokemon) meant to draw hype and the devs are active with the community interacting on social media platforms playing the part.
    PS/Edit: On higher difficulties you need to choose your engagements as you progress, otherwise you will slowly run out of resources over time and you need to target the reinforcement mobs before they have the chance to well reinforce i.e. commissars for bots, brood commanders, hive guards, and mini spewers for bugs. If you take them out but take to long to wipe out the patrol, someone else in the patrol will fill the role, typically the smaller enemy types.
