    When you get hit hard in monster hunter? You get s till you get back up.
    When you dolphin dive in monster hunter? You get s till you're starting to get back up.
    Helldivers is very confusing in the way that you get easily raggdolled but also you're not invincible or take less damage. So you can get juggled and you just get to eat sh*t till you're dead. And there are way, way too many things that can ragdoll you. Bopped by a charger? Ragdoll. Stalker flicks you 40 meters via ragdoll. Rockets from devastators, ragdoll, rockets from striders sometimes ragdoll you when they don't outright kill you. rocket troopers, gunships.
    I've also never played a PvE game that has headshots on the players. And the devs can say that's realistic all they want- it's not fun. And also taking a rocket to any body part is lethal so the headshot=realism argument is just so bad. Losing half your HP to a hunter when there's 50 of them following you is just, so, dumb.
    But then the fanbase says it's 'a skill issue' or 'lower the difficulty'. Thanks fanbase, great ideas! Too bad that doesn't fix questionable game design. Also changing the difficulty doesn't matter as I've seen haz 7 be far harder than haz 10. More chargers and impalers than I knew what to do with on 7- more than once. But haz 10? We walked through it pretty ok. Well- when the impalers weren't sending my friend to the shadow realm.

    Probelms i have. Primaries are a joke. It's just an extra side arm slot. A 308 round shouldnt take 2 shots to down a small spitter unless the first shot only hits one leg. Airburst has half the ammo cuz the reload animation uses 2 rockets from your pack. One to reload the round and one disappears when you lock the rocket in the tube.constant DCs, friend list still dont work on console, ADS will randomly break and only dying seems to fix it. The ragdolling, we all know. Grenade radius is 3 meters when a real one is minimum 5m for the lowest yeild grenades irl. Stealth is not an option at all. Devs keep using realism as an excuse in a game where the premise is shooting soldiers at a planet to deploy them.... these are a few of my host hated things.

      You're close; if I understand the industry correctly then the developers who actually built the game (before launch) usually only have a contract to make it, not to update it and support it over its lifetime. Usually this means that the team gets almost fully replaced shortly after the game launches.

If the original programmer had been there to review the code, he would have known exactly what to expect from those values, and that the damage spike was indicative of a bug and not the weapon being overtuned.

    I only have like 30h in hd2 (not a lot i know) but if there is one thing I noticed is that there is little to no friendly fire for enemies and enemies being ragdolled. Enemies being able to just swarm you without precaution of hitting each other sucks. Can smack enemies with explosives and the common mook won't even get ragdolled if it doesn't kill them, meanwhile the impaler tentacles can send you flying by striking the ground 100 yards from where you're are standing and any nearby bugs won't even be affected. Some arpgs like Remnant1&2 do a good job of having large enemies cleaving attacks affect other enemies. Just don't think how an attack behind you can ragdoll you back to the enemies you where fleeing from is fine by AH.

    I am trying to help here ok? So don't get mad. I think your problem is that you don't know about the enemies until it is too late. So often you die surrounded by a horde of enemies. My tip is, to get the UAV booster and constantly check for enemy movement. If a patrol is going your way, end the fight and run away. Come back when the patrol left. For the tentacle monster, you have to deal with them as soon as they spawn. Throwing orbital precision strike or 500kg on top of them. These two strategems are great cause of their low cool down. Allowing you to deal huge damage in short amount of time. Hope it helps.

    To be honest, this entire situation is hilarious. This is what you get when you say, "The game is too easy." You get a difficulty that wedges every unfair mechanic against you, habitually.
    What do you get from completing 10s? Nothing. Actually, you get less liberation by hour than if you just ran trivials.
    They can only put so many enemies on screen without setting people's systems on fire. How did you all think an increase in difficulty would look? It's exactly what I expected. An unfair slosh. It's 10. It's there as a novelty, almost. There's nothing behind that gate. It's an attraction, like a roller coaster. Get your neck dislocated then go ride the whiz whirl.
    Would an extra magazine or a +10% dmg to whatever gun make a difference? Nope.

      The saddest thing is, it isn't even harder to win - It's just harder to have fun with. If you avoid fights and disengage properly, you can complete any difficulty, since as you noted, they can only load up so many enemies and their pathfinding can only be so detailed, so it will always be exploitable. The difficulty only comes in forms which incentivize you to not engage with the most interesting parts of the game (the combat).
      I get that their tech environment is limited. If anything, I just wish they had the full-size maps with all the sub-objectives available on difficulties 5-7. And maybe they could spawn some of the new enemy types on those difficulties occasionally, as rare/miniboss encounters.

    ones that release poison gas,
    attack drones controlled by a host hiding in the back,
    bots that have small jammers that affect your orbital accuracy, or hurt lock on weapons,
    little drones that will assemble a defensive turret if you don't kill them fast enough.
    focus on recon/stealth a bit better by introducing floating scout bots that call in nastier hoards (and reducing the flare frequency from all the basic bots).
    Bots that buff certain bots with their power generator, but if you shoot off the right parts will critically explode.
    Bots that throw/drop mines around the battlefield that only trigger on divers (unless you shoot them to force the explosion).
