I hope he will add more ammo for LAS 16 I just want to have fun I love the game from the beginning until the nerfs that made it not fun and I stopped playing and just constantly checking and hoping the add more ammo so I can start playing again and have fun like before
I'm not so sure. We know pilested is willing to fight for the players when things piss us off enough but is this new guy going to do the same or is sony forcing the change in leadership to get someone that won't support the players.
You mean the same CEO who continuously lied to the player base and just paid a bunch of lip service? Not to mention they must have spent millions to hire HIS FRIEND as a CEO... Instead of hiring more developers... Yeah you peasants continue to be a joke
New CEO has a record of dumpster fires. Seems like pile wants more involved with the game. But who knows, board saw he lost big money and that is all they care about. Despite him being one of the few to save the game during the sony psn crisis.
@@geronimo5537idk if he saved the game. There’s still 180 countries that don’t have access to the game now. He also knew Sony was gonna push for the account setup. He does speak up for the community but that’s just a good marketing ploy to gather information and tell the players he agrees so they can figure out what needs to be done it keeps the pitchforks down
Just sounds like Johan wants to focus on the game and let someone else handle the business side now that they've grown and deal with Sony. Doesn't sound like he gave up any ownership with the change, so as an owner/founder, still has ability to also fire the CEO if necessary.
I remember Pilestedt tweeting about how his main thing is not running a business, but more getting hands-on with the design and programming aspects. I respect a guy who knows where his strengths and weaknesses are, and who is willing to acknowledge when he may not be the best person for a certain job. Good on him for taking the step to get someone in the CEO seat for the sake of the game, company, and player base alike.
I mean, it's like how Hayao Miyazaki is a much better animator than a business CEO. A canary is a pretty pet, but it'll never compare to the beauty of one flying in the wild. Leave the bread baking to the bakers. So many idioms that just proves that people forced to play the bureaucracy game suffer instead of actually creating what they can.
I want to use rec slips for something like color options on armor or weapon customization ( aesthetic only). Just something that doesnt effect gameplay but gives players incentive to grind so they can rock their own style.
that would make outfit coordination much easier, since most medpack armor for example are green & white as opposed to the typical black and yellow pallete
They need to do a community stream with devs playing and people there reading all the comments and taking notes and devs can test them live. That would be good to both watch and get info to improve quality of life for the game.
I have a feeling the majority of players taking the negative reviews away was probably sonys freedom to continue that even though from a business standpoint its the dumbest idea possible so I think sony is just taking some crazy stuff. Gotta put them into rehab first
Did you know that some accounts thay suggested flipping the reviews to positive after the tweet were tied to sony? We all bit the bait and the internet got flooded with early celebration.
They are still setting major order targets as if we had the player counts from before all the countries were dropped. The combination of player count drops, weapon nerfs, enemy buffs, spawn rate issues with smaller or solo squads and persistent bugs are just beginning to overwhelm the game. I still play it, but gradually just less and less because it’s just not as fun anymore.
@steelman6403 we've gotten a couple recently, and we'll probably get this one. The only reason we didn't get 2 bil bots was because 1/3 of the player base didn't want to touch bots. Which, if that's how they want to play, that's fine. It's not on AH to make the player community coordinate a war correctly. That's on the players. Besides, don't you want to defend Super Earth?
I've done too many dives lately where we've lost all the kills we made because the game crashed, we lost players to disconnects, and more... SO MANY KILLS LOST. The goals are just too ambitious really...
I always play difficulty 7 with random queue. I think it's the most fun one with random other players, sometimes extremely easy when you have good random players and sometimes very difficult when you have complete noobs.
The team does matter alot but not completely. Last night I was playing level 8 just to finally unlock 9 and the first game I had actually forgot it was level 8,felt like a level 4 maybe seen 3 hulks and that was near the end,next game I seen more hulks in the first two minutes and we had the same team. Sometimes it just fucks ya real hard
Well, the devs have to account for 1400 Super Destroyers of the Death Korpse of Creek, that have been completely lost, from a fleet of 1500. Also, we're happy to have the 175th Anglican back, but we're still missing the 177th Irregulars and the 180th Nordic, so there's that. The next patch is critical, and pending that, HD2 is here for about one more month, before it sinks into a niche akin to Darktide.
Pretty sure that's already happened. It's just a matter of how severe it'll be before the game improves enough to see us get meaningful reinforcements. My friends list is devoid of helldivers, including myself. The miracle that needs to happen soon isn't one I forsee occurring. The sheer amount of idiotic "balancing" combined with a lack of creative weapon mechanics, mission design, and shit armors are fatal wounds. It's like repairing a severed jugular. One tiny mistake and the patient becomes a vegetable. Take too long, certain death awaits. Even when repaired, it won't take much to reopen the wound.
@@kenny10188nah. Soon as they drop Illuminate a bunch of people will come back. And anyway, who cares? I just need 2 or 3 other players to be on for me to have fun.
At this point, I feel it would be best if Medals and samples could be used to purchase in-game items like armor skins, weapon-skins, minor weapon upgrades, minor armor upgrades, etc. After completing warbonds and unlocking stratagems, samples and medals become kinda obsolete. Would be cool to see in-game currency/items utilized for more customization.
My whole friend list has stopped playing this game cause Everytime we all find loadouts we like, the devs nerf the crap out of them. Tired of the fun being stripped from the game and then just doing the same stuff over and over again for no great rewards while using no unique armor. They need to add more armor stats to this game that makes sense!
There's only been the like 3 weapons nerfed but are still decent the breaker, the rail gun which was buffed again, and the quasar cannon which is still very usable
@@lancefisher8358it's too late. Buffing guns to try to stifle the player base leakage. Need new enemy types, unique or atleast different armor, a cyberstan invasion etc....
The legend himself is finally free to unleash his vision through development. For the first time since Cutting Edge, I look forward to balancing and new Warbonds.
@@Grimm196 They're likely referring to hard limits on Resources and Medals!~ Once you get too many such as 250 for Medals or 50,000 for Req's you just start not getting anymore!
4 day major orders for 50 warbonds is too sparse. I know they want to slow things down as people are done getting what they want but this feels very artificially restraining. Let me choose samples!
Chief Creative Officer is a nothing burger, a subordinate to the CEO. This means that while Johan technically still owns the company (or at least some part of it), all executive decisions will be made by another person, who was likely approved by Sony, and will do as Sony wishes. Johan lost a lot of control and now has many potential blindspots in the decision making process. Furthermore, he no longer has the final say on anything regarding company operations, including creative department (which works under CEO) and other departments. This must be Sony's payback (or at least a tighter leash) for getting them into the PSN mess (by not enforcing PSN linking requirements on launch), and then for not taking their side once it happened.
@@TheRealChese Control over specific decisions which can only be implemented by following a specific process. Which is not nearly the same as operational control of a CEO. Furthermore, if Johan was to exert much control, Sony might use whatever leverage they've likely prepared to... compell this staff change in the first place.
He's hired an old friend he trusts to run the business side so he can focus on the game(s), also he's still chairman so I don't think he's losing any control or that this is Sony meddling.
PSN and crashes to this day still aren't fixed. Steam page still says it requires PSN acc to play meaning Sony can still try to pull this in the future and say they just extended the waive period. There's still 170+ countries delisted on steam. Yes they are working on it but it's too slow and it'll kill the game.
I hope they don't raise the caps on materials, or if so, only minorly. If they raise caps, it means new things have to be much more expensive to keep vet players from being able to instantly buy the thing (which they will anyways). I played Warframe, and I joined just a bit before Railjacks were introduced. The initial cost was exorbitant to give older players something to grind for, which they didn't because most resources don't have caps. Those who had the premium currency to skip the grind just immediately set off in their new ship, and those who didn't have (or didn't want to spend) the Platinum already had the resources, so it was just a timegate at that point. I, on the other hand, having only played for 6-7 months, had maybe 10-15% of the costs required. That's not including the costs for the Clan Dojo needed to be able to build one in the first place. Considering that Dojos are for clans (kinda in the name) those costs were also high as they were supposed to be for groups. I was effectively locked out of that content, and more, as the more new stuff was added, the more exorbitant money-sink costs were introduced to give vets something to grind for. So, I got to see all this new content being added that my friends were of course going to play as they'd become bored of playing the old content (some of which for years), while I was stuck doing the same old thing I'd been doing because I just hadn't done enough of it yet. If they raise the caps of resources to like 500 each, and requisition to like 100k, if they add, say three, new modules or stratagems, each one has to cost like 80-90% or the vets will be able to buy it all outright. If a veteran could buy all three outright, that doesn't really incentivize more play, and chances are some of those vets will then quickly complain there no more new content. If the new modules/stratagems have that increased cost, it means someone newer to the game has to grind for _much_ longer to get access to those things, along with all the other stuff they have to unlock. And if those new things are "necessary," like some anti-Illuminate tech that keeps you instantly exploding when setting foot on their planets, it now means that new Divers are locked out of a third of the game until they've grinded long enough (or paid one of those silly boost sites) to earn the "privilege" of playing a game they paid for. Now the anti-explosion tech is hyperbolic, I don't think AH would make a decision like that. I still think that raised caps are a potentially slippery slope with no real upsides. I could very well be wrong, and would love to see some reasons why raised caps would be a great and healthy addition to the game! (Aside from being able to buy added content faster, as that kinda sidesteps the whole play more mentality that progression systems are supposed to encourage.)
This probably was a direct result of the bit where Johan took feedback from us and said he would go talk to the dev team about it. As the company grew, the CEO position was probably the reason he sounded like he wasn't always on top of the direction the dev team was taking. Given that he's probably the most invested person in the creative direction of the game, his new post is probably a primarily personally motivated move (so that Helldivers 2 would be something he personally would be proud of) that he can sell to his board members. That he can then get a worthy stand in for the CEO post is probably him calling a personal favour and the week between the bit where we last heard from him and this news is just the paperwork going through. All in all, some excellent news from some dude who cared enough about his golden egg laying goose to "demote" himself to a more hands on role and calling a bro to do the stuff he used to do. I'd also wager that Arrowhead is just small enough of an outfit for a move like this to happen in a week's timeframe. Any bigger and the red tape would have taken months.
Hey @LtBuzzLitebeer thank you so much for all of the time and love you put into your videos. I may not be in the Discord, but I am a part of another small squad and discord. We hope to see you and yours out there on the field someday. Stay awesome!
Im just glad johan is still in directory position, meaning he has a role above the new ceo, outside his cco position, it feels simular to what linus at LTT did, and that worked out for the better too
Money/resource sink is so simple: very expensive ship paint costomization both interior and exterior, maybe additional idle crew in the ship. Pedestals/plaques for trophy heads, maybe a minute weapon effect (like reload 5% faster or 2% more damage) that is a RNG roll that is a pure credit sink.
My parents were both small business owners in different fields and I’m stepping into one of their shoes in order to take over the clinic. As someone who has been a close witness to both great and poor leadership styles in business, I really like what I’m seeing out of Arrowhead. Shit started going south and they are taking drastic measure to ensure a healthy future for the game.
If patrols are overtuned for overwhelming us, then buff the weapons so we can better deal with their assaults. Tweak the enemies time to time to make events difficult when necessary but this nerfing weapons is exactly what is making swarm situations outrageous.
It's crazy seeing 58k players 😢 I remember before they F..k those 180 countries, it was more than 200k players. Probably that's one of the reasons why the major orders now are taking forever to accomplished 🤷♂️
I want my quasar cannon back. You feel every second that it’s not available. When you’re on Hell dive, and you got four or five chargers coming at you. It gets rough.
i just hope they dont forget to fix the enemy spawn & patrol rates in this big upcoming patch, i kinda feel like they not really talking about that and instead just talking about the weapon balancing and the major orders, awesome video as always dude :)
I only fight bugs From Launch to Erruptor drop I couldn't bring myself to not take light armor with 2 grenades because I needed that to be effective as the guy that typically runs off on his own to scavenge. When the erruptor dropped, I actually wanted to play more with the team so I would have cover as I worked out the best way to play the game with my new snipe abilities. Firstly I HAD to take explosive resistant armor to not just die every time I got overwhelmed. Then I had to actually learn how to use something other than the Quasar (which I ultimately ended up sticking with because not being able to deal with bile titans is trolling) to patch in the gaps I was losing out on not having a shotgun. And I was close to replacing my impact grenades with stuns when they just decided to add the shrapnel glitch to that resulted in too many instances of me one shotting myself. I genuinely doesn't make sense that they didn't just role back the Eruptor while they worked out a functioning nerf. The weapon went from a 1/2 shot to every enemy to being a joke with no place in the game for 0 reason. Combine that with the Quasar and Uzi nerf and they literally nerfed my entire loadout right when I was hitting my stride and playing long sessions, just like they did when they nerfed the Breaker and Rail gun while buffing enemies. The notion that I'll get hyped for a weapon only for it to be gutted before the next warbond drops is too much and with every weapon I would want to use not being as effective as it was last month combine with everyone I was playing with having moved on to other games I just sad. I really wish they would do a 1.4 Division 1 patch where they build the tools they need to put out effective patches and get the game in a state where they can build and test at the same time. There's no way the last 2 patches were QA'd by anyone playing the game.
Raising the cap makes sense to me. Let's say HD2 releases new stuff once a month. With a higher cap we can buy whatever is released right away and have a full month experimenting with it and gathering whatever will be needed for the next release and be ready again to buy and play with right away. Grinding/farming with the new stuff instead of for it.
Well for the reward we dont know... sometimes we said that it would unlock something and nothing happened... perhaps they will give us finally anti tank mines? Also completely on board with you for the nerfing part. A big part of the community do not go in diff 9 and dont solo it also. Nerfing a gun because 0.01% of players use it to cruise diff 9 is not the way... make an impossible diff 10 for those to have more challenges
I'm kind of reading this in a couple ways from his post... Either A, he is retaining his position as founder/owner of the studio but allowing somebody else to fill the shoes of the political side of things, or B, he hired someone else to take the reins of the company and he stepped down to be more creatively focused and hands-on with the game. That being said, it could be a good or bad thing depending on what is said since he didn't elaborate any inside the post. If he is still the owner and still does have creative control to be able to terminate the CEO should they begin to take the studio in a direction he disagrees with, then that's a good thing and that will hopefully keep the CEO in check especially if they have to go through him before any major changes to the studio's visions and goals. If it's the ladder option though... It may very well mean the beginning of the end for AH as we've seen time and time again, as soon as the passionate surrender their positions at the top to let somebody more corporately driven drive the ship, the ship often sinks within 5-10 years
I think it's more of a lateral move than stepping down. The Game needs a good Leader. I think it's better he move to a position with Game Development rather than Business Development. You can hire a CEO.
Pilestedt claims to have handed the reigns over to someone he trusts, but I see this as a threat. He was one of the staunchest fighters against sonys bullshit. I feel like Sony made him give his roll over to someone who will just bend over for daddy sonys giggle stick anytime they tell him to. The new guys is gonna have to prove he isn't a threat
can't help but feel a little worried the ceo that was the main figurehead of the sony negotiations and the community outreach during the drama is now demoted he says its so he can focus on being creative officer but we dont know what pressure is behind the scenes
Johan is the Dev Boss we need right now. I'm waiting for the Warbond armors to get buffs against fire/explosions/snow and also I need a higher difficulty than Helldive...even in the current state it feels too easy and grinding for lvl 150 takes too long without it having any actual benefit. A 1000kg bomb and new stratagems in general would also be appreciated, I need more stuff to blow up.
Well, good! Arrowhead made this game, right now they sure seem a little lost, but ultimately the talent is there, hopefully he'll be able to steer the ship back in course... Also I called it way back, them devs are not playing the game, this much is clear, otherwise they would know why rebalancing doesn't feel good... Yup, bullet sponges very rarely "feel" good to play against... If you look back, all games highly praised for their shooting are the ones that require some skills (accuracy/tactics/etc) but are also snappy and fast to dispatch... That combined w/ the right volume of enemies... And you know what would work better for Helldivers2? Rock/paper/scissors type of approach (kinda) and being able to 1-tap hunters, and while I don't mind needing a "special" weapon to deal w/ heavies (chargers/tanks/titans/etc) being able to not take a whole "work day" to kill them would be great! A bullet spongy enemy would be okay, again kinda, if were like a big boss (one of a kind type and whatnot)
Great news, I would like to see cosmetic ship customization, not just adding the same thing to the ship as everyone else does when you upgrade it, give me Super Earth flags, dead bots with a flag pole through them, bug and bot trophies, a charger skin rug, custom weapon rack, a table to enjoy a cold one with your fellow helldivers after a stressful helldive
I usually play helldivers 2 on rank 7 or 8 I haven't had the confidence or the courage to play rank 9 yet as I'm still trying to get used to seven and eight then I'll make my way to 9 but it would be nice if we can get some of these weapon changes to make the game more fun
If you want to know what a helmet looks like with the armor in the superstore, do two clockwise circles on whichever side of the superstore you want to see if your timing is correct it will lock in the helmet and armor and you can see them displayed together
None of these youtuber are talking about this.. Which is worrying me because this is exactly my worry here, that the new CEO is just gonna let Sony push him around because he wasn't there to deal with all the backlash.
I’ve gotten used to the new spawn rate. Keep it the same and just make the quasar able to one shot titans, chargers and the fire missile bots! I want a hard game, I’m sick of walking through games!
I want to buy extra strategems with in game rescources. Similar to the weapons experimentations Let me buy those for the day or maybe a mission maybe one or two at a time (or exponetially until we have total strats (380 120 walking laser) AC eagle airstrike 500kg bubble shield
I really just want to be able to use any stratagem combinaton to kill all enemies. It feels so bad to try and play for example turrets if they just instantly get charged by a charger and destroyed or try to use smokes and a flamethrower but then it drops in a bile titan or something like that and you're just.... Why can't I enjoy weapons and playstyles I like but be forced to adjust them to specific things that are effective at dispatching enemies. Why are the cooldowns so long? Would it not be more fun to see big explosions more often? Things like railcannon strike on 210s is just forever waiting for 2s of fun, this also leads to me holding these stratagems out until a specifc enemy appaears. Throwing a railcannon with 210s cd on a charger who I know will spawn another 10+ times in that timeframe just feels wrong. Then you have modifiers, scatter just makes precision strike well... completely useless and makes gass and ems barely usable. Or how half the weapons essentially can't kill dropships cuz that's fun.
all assisted reload capable support weapons are strong, it's just that almost no one wanna assist because everyone wants to be the one pulling the trigger.
it's because no one wants to give up their AMMO to someone who may or may not actually be around when you NEED IT. It' not exactly rare for squads to get split up from huge hordes etc. PAeople would actually use team reload if they used YOUR ammo that YOU are wearing. Also, in most cases, the squad will have superior firepower output NOT doing team-reloads. At least, in my experience.
There’s like 4 different type of currency’s: resources , so imagine if we could just trade one resource for another isn’t a bad idea atleast for example 1000 gold for 500 diamonds , everything gets converted at a equal value
Tbh, I don’t see how you can add significant DLCs behind a paywall when the whole game’s premise is a galactic war. Limiting players from accessing certain planets or enemies would severely undermine that feeling of unity and common goal that makes this game and its community shine
Johan becoming CCO seems like a good thing... but I dunno. There hasn't been a very good track record of people we gamers think are great people staying that way once they reach a very high position in a company. I'll watch and see if this guy "shows his true colors" or whatever. Not that I think he's sinister, just more so that money could end up changing his tune is all.
Johan is right for the most part. The tweak the TTK on lower and mid level mobs and make the devs play the game more. I honestly think the vast majority of the devs don’t play above difficulty 4-5.
Don't implement a resource exchange for cosmetic things, just let me exchange req slips for super rare samples.... I have been on 50k req slips for 3+ months, and could really use the SRS, as most people I can find to play with will not go after samples, and will kick me if I go to collect samples instead of sticking with the group
Hopefully the new CEO will fight against Snoy. Since the region bans STILL weren't removed, I have stopped helldiving because my friends overseas still can't helldive anymore, and they are past 100 hours for a refund..
I stopped playing yesterday, since I have max medals and I cannot decide on which war bond I should get. Since the nerf vs mentality, just hit 1000 super credits.
Personally I prefer slightly more enemies, but with weapons that kick ass and take names. It had a good balance at the start, with maybe some tweak ups to assault rifles. Perhaps a utility on them like a grenade launcher that gives them an edge over energy weapons and the spray and pray model of the sickle (which is fun, just make AR's better please)
Vendor Donations?? Hm we could then get a Major Order to donation Common Samples to help "a cause". Been Capped on Credits and Common Samples for a while lol Maybe even a crafting system? Armor Upgrades like Fire or Bile resistance? Helmet Upgrades like reduced headshot damage or better targeting/highlighting?
All i want is to be able to exchange rarer samples for less rare ones at a decent exchange rate, and same goes for the other way. I have *so* many rares and no commons.
When I saw the announcement I pictured captain Picard tossing Wesley Crusher out of the seat at helm by his ear cause he's about to crash the enterprise into the mountain cause he won't shut up about politics on Twitter. Definitely a clear sign that things aren't on the right track, but potentially with this hands on management by proven designers they can get things turned around before the people that have been making decisions cause irreparable harm. Cautious optimism, and alot of patience are gonna be needed.
As far as balancing goes, weapons look pretty good compared to each other. But over all nerf to enemy health would do wonders for every weapon out there.
I’ll have to see what this change brings before giving my opinion. With everything that’s happened idk if there’s any other reasons for this he wouldn’t publicly state only time will tell but I wanna feel it’s gonna be for the better! Still diving and patiently waiting to see what the future updates bring to the table! I’m a true diver through and through and I’m loyal to the team behind this after everything they’ve been through. We have to stand firm and make this game great!
Feelin good about this, not so much the MO, but the game in general, cautiously optimistic, as usual with modern games, even ones as drop dead fun and addictive as hd2
i don't see a problem with some players maxing out at difficultly 6 or 7, or even 4 or 5. it's okay to not play games on the highest difficultly settings! and it's okay to slowly work and get better over time until you're ready for it, there shouldn't just be a weapon that allows you to trivialize the greatest challenges the game has to offer (like the OG railgun). most people who choose to play games on the hardest setting do so because they want and enjoy a challenge! there are lots of ways to make the game more fun for players without making it easier and i hope they are able to find that balance, but i worry many players will not be satisfied unless they make weapons so strong that the games becomes way too easy for others, but it really is a "skill issue". i'm sure they can find a way to make it happen though!
Before, you felt unstoppable and like a 1 man army, but not completely invincible. Now you just feel like you have to constantly run, and dodge enemies otherwise you'll get into a 5 - 10 minute fight wasting time rather than doing the objective. Like I'm pretty skilled, but anytime I play helldive difficulty above 7, its always my teammates lacking, and I can't hold everyone up.
Here is an idea.. those that want to be hardcore agressive why not make them a new rank division.. and we can call them the generals or whatever.. so the most hardest of core gamers go there.. while the rest of us happy to have fun being cadets and stuff get to play finally with people that are less on edge:)
He just wanted the ability to WORK ON THE GAME more. His passion is game development, not people management. Cannot say I respect any game studio more than Arrowhead.
This is really fucking good and is going to make this game more fun I mean I have every stratagem and I’m waiting for more also my every war bond polar patriots sucks but can’t wait

I hope he will add more ammo for LAS 16 I just want to have fun I love the game from the beginning until the nerfs that made it not fun and I stopped playing and just constantly checking and hoping the add more ammo so I can start playing again and have fun like before
I saw the arrows and thought he was calling in a stratagem lol
Pilestedt in the top seat of the creative department is a win in my book.
I'm not so sure. We know pilested is willing to fight for the players when things piss us off enough but is this new guy going to do the same or is sony forcing the change in leadership to get someone that won't support the players.
Sony shouldn’t have any right to force leadership decisions if they’re strictly a publisher.
@@funkman12345 you whould be surprised.
Agreed.
You mean the same CEO who continuously lied to the player base and just paid a bunch of lip service?
Not to mention they must have spent millions to hire HIS FRIEND as a CEO... Instead of hiring more developers...
Yeah you peasants continue to be a joke
Office politics are very tiring so I hope he really does have the freedom to manage the game properly
I'm kinda worried that this is sony pushing out a ceo who will support the players to get one who is more controllable.
@@olstar18 yeah, that would be DISASTROUS.
New CEO has a record of dumpster fires. Seems like pile wants more involved with the game. But who knows, board saw he lost big money and that is all they care about. Despite him being one of the few to save the game during the sony psn crisis.
@@geronimo5537idk if he saved the game. There’s still 180 countries that don’t have access to the game now. He also knew Sony was gonna push for the account setup. He does speak up for the community but that’s just a good marketing ploy to gather information and tell the players he agrees so they can figure out what needs to be done it keeps the pitchforks down
@@miamistormz no one cares about those countries they make less then 5% of the player base before the sony incident
Just sounds like Johan wants to focus on the game and let someone else handle the business side now that they've grown and deal with Sony. Doesn't sound like he gave up any ownership with the change, so as an owner/founder, still has ability to also fire the CEO if necessary.
Completely agree with this 👆 Great news!
Exactly; Johan is Chairman, hence why he can hire a CEO and place himself where ever he wants.
I read it the same as well.
one can say but the political left never sleeps so the devs of helldivers must be ready to go to the right uncondtionally.
I remember Pilestedt tweeting about how his main thing is not running a business, but more getting hands-on with the design and programming aspects. I respect a guy who knows where his strengths and weaknesses are, and who is willing to acknowledge when he may not be the best person for a certain job. Good on him for taking the step to get someone in the CEO seat for the sake of the game, company, and player base alike.
I mean, it's like how Hayao Miyazaki is a much better animator than a business CEO. A canary is a pretty pet, but it'll never compare to the beauty of one flying in the wild. Leave the bread baking to the bakers. So many idioms that just proves that people forced to play the bureaucracy game suffer instead of actually creating what they can.
This makes me think of Craig’s list where Craig hired a CEO and went to work in customer support.
question, did that work?
Was that before or after the entire site became scams?
I want to use rec slips for something like color options on armor or weapon customization ( aesthetic only). Just something that doesnt effect gameplay but gives players incentive to grind so they can rock their own style.
Warframe like color customization would be awesome
that would make outfit coordination much easier, since most medpack armor for example are green & white as opposed to the typical black and yellow pallete
That's hella cringe
No color changes for democracy

Keep the color changes out of a game like this it's not good for it.
I have spoken.
They need to do a community stream with devs playing and people there reading all the comments and taking notes and devs can test them live. That would be good to both watch and get info to improve quality of life for the game.
Really hoping the blacklist is taken off soon, it's been over two weeks and it's getting hard to keep a optimistic outlook.
Sadly, thats entirely Sony's responsibility as publisher of the game
I have a feeling the majority of players taking the negative reviews away was probably sonys freedom to continue that even though from a business standpoint its the dumbest idea possible so I think sony is just taking some crazy stuff. Gotta put them into rehab first
Still can not buy the game in Moldova, Eastern Europe 😢
Yeah, I'm not playing or changing my review on playstation or steam until it does "we dive together or not at all".
Did you know that some accounts thay suggested flipping the reviews to positive after the tweet were tied to sony? We all bit the bait and the internet got flooded with early celebration.

They are still setting major order targets as if we had the player counts from before all the countries were dropped. The combination of player count drops, weapon nerfs, enemy buffs, spawn rate issues with smaller or solo squads and persistent bugs are just beginning to overwhelm the game. I still play it, but gradually just less and less because it’s just not as fun anymore.
I just started playing it not long ago and I am still having a blast
I do agree, still having fun but unwinnable major orders are not
Also there’s no incentive when the medal count is capped at 250. Most high level players get zero medals when completing orders
@steelman6403 we've gotten a couple recently, and we'll probably get this one. The only reason we didn't get 2 bil bots was because 1/3 of the player base didn't want to touch bots. Which, if that's how they want to play, that's fine. It's not on AH to make the player community coordinate a war correctly. That's on the players.
Besides, don't you want to defend Super Earth?
@@higherpower3101some of us just do it cause it's fun.
I've done too many dives lately where we've lost all the kills we made because the game crashed, we lost players to disconnects, and more...
SO MANY KILLS LOST. The goals are just too ambitious really...
I always play difficulty 7 with random queue. I think it's the most fun one with random other players, sometimes extremely easy when you have good random players and sometimes very difficult when you have complete noobs.
The team does matter alot but not completely. Last night I was playing level 8 just to finally unlock 9 and the first game I had actually forgot it was level 8,felt like a level 4 maybe seen 3 hulks and that was near the end,next game I seen more hulks in the first two minutes and we had the same team. Sometimes it just fucks ya real hard
Well, the devs have to account for 1400 Super Destroyers of the Death Korpse of Creek, that have been completely lost, from a fleet of 1500.
Also, we're happy to have the 175th Anglican back, but we're still missing the 177th Irregulars and the 180th Nordic, so there's that.
The next patch is critical, and pending that, HD2 is here for about one more month, before it sinks into a niche akin to Darktide.
Pretty sure that's already happened. It's just a matter of how severe it'll be before the game improves enough to see us get meaningful reinforcements. My friends list is devoid of helldivers, including myself. The miracle that needs to happen soon isn't one I forsee occurring. The sheer amount of idiotic "balancing" combined with a lack of creative weapon mechanics, mission design, and shit armors are fatal wounds. It's like repairing a severed jugular. One tiny mistake and the patient becomes a vegetable. Take too long, certain death awaits. Even when repaired, it won't take much to reopen the wound.
@@kenny10188nah. Soon as they drop Illuminate a bunch of people will come back. And anyway, who cares? I just need 2 or 3 other players to be on for me to have fun.
@@joshuakelley438 just because you enjoy playing games with the bois doesn't make shit balancing decisions okay?
As someone who plays after work, sometimes, I like to play at relaxing difficulty. This means 2 solo or 5 on a team.
At this point, I feel it would be best if Medals and samples could be used to purchase in-game items like armor skins, weapon-skins, minor weapon upgrades, minor armor upgrades, etc. After completing warbonds and unlocking stratagems, samples and medals become kinda obsolete. Would be cool to see in-game currency/items utilized for more customization.
My whole friend list has stopped playing this game cause Everytime we all find loadouts we like, the devs nerf the crap out of them. Tired of the fun being stripped from the game and then just doing the same stuff over and over again for no great rewards while using no unique armor. They need to add more armor stats to this game that makes sense!
Sounds like a skill issue
By "find loadouts we like" do you mean look up what's meta and use that? Because that's a definite way to keep getting your favorites nerfed
There's only been the like 3 weapons nerfed but are still decent the breaker, the rail gun which was buffed again, and the quasar cannon which is still very usable

Chief Creative Officer is a nothing burger, a subordinate to the CEO. This means that while Johan technically still owns the company (or at least some part of it), all executive decisions will be made by another person, who was likely approved by Sony, and will do as Sony wishes.
Johan lost a lot of control and now has many potential blindspots in the decision making process. Furthermore, he no longer has the final say on anything regarding company operations, including creative department (which works under CEO) and other departments.
This must be Sony's payback (or at least a tighter leash) for getting them into the PSN mess (by not enforcing PSN linking requirements on launch), and then for not taking their side once it happened.
Pretty sure the ex-CEO owns a majority/plurality of the voting power/shares, so he still has defacto control.
I’m very scared for this decision,
May only time tell what this means for Helldivers 2
@@TheRealChese Control over specific decisions which can only be implemented by following a specific process. Which is not nearly the same as operational control of a CEO. Furthermore, if Johan was to exert much control, Sony might use whatever leverage they've likely prepared to... compell this staff change in the first place.
He's hired an old friend he trusts to run the business side so he can focus on the game(s), also he's still chairman so I don't think he's losing any control or that this is Sony meddling.
@@hazelnut2002 An old friend who was one of the executives known for pushing over-monetization at Paradox. Don't forget that part.
PSN and crashes to this day still aren't fixed. Steam page still says it requires PSN acc to play meaning Sony can still try to pull this in the future and say they just extended the waive period. There's still 170+ countries delisted on steam. Yes they are working on it but it's too slow and it'll kill the game.
I hope they don't raise the caps on materials, or if so, only minorly. If they raise caps, it means new things have to be much more expensive to keep vet players from being able to instantly buy the thing (which they will anyways). I played Warframe, and I joined just a bit before Railjacks were introduced. The initial cost was exorbitant to give older players something to grind for, which they didn't because most resources don't have caps. Those who had the premium currency to skip the grind just immediately set off in their new ship, and those who didn't have (or didn't want to spend) the Platinum already had the resources, so it was just a timegate at that point. I, on the other hand, having only played for 6-7 months, had maybe 10-15% of the costs required. That's not including the costs for the Clan Dojo needed to be able to build one in the first place. Considering that Dojos are for clans (kinda in the name) those costs were also high as they were supposed to be for groups. I was effectively locked out of that content, and more, as the more new stuff was added, the more exorbitant money-sink costs were introduced to give vets something to grind for. So, I got to see all this new content being added that my friends were of course going to play as they'd become bored of playing the old content (some of which for years), while I was stuck doing the same old thing I'd been doing because I just hadn't done enough of it yet.
If they raise the caps of resources to like 500 each, and requisition to like 100k, if they add, say three, new modules or stratagems, each one has to cost like 80-90% or the vets will be able to buy it all outright. If a veteran could buy all three outright, that doesn't really incentivize more play, and chances are some of those vets will then quickly complain there no more new content. If the new modules/stratagems have that increased cost, it means someone newer to the game has to grind for _much_ longer to get access to those things, along with all the other stuff they have to unlock. And if those new things are "necessary," like some anti-Illuminate tech that keeps you instantly exploding when setting foot on their planets, it now means that new Divers are locked out of a third of the game until they've grinded long enough (or paid one of those silly boost sites) to earn the "privilege" of playing a game they paid for.
Now the anti-explosion tech is hyperbolic, I don't think AH would make a decision like that. I still think that raised caps are a potentially slippery slope with no real upsides. I could very well be wrong, and would love to see some reasons why raised caps would be a great and healthy addition to the game! (Aside from being able to buy added content faster, as that kinda sidesteps the whole play more mentality that progression systems are supposed to encourage.)
This probably was a direct result of the bit where Johan took feedback from us and said he would go talk to the dev team about it. As the company grew, the CEO position was probably the reason he sounded like he wasn't always on top of the direction the dev team was taking. Given that he's probably the most invested person in the creative direction of the game, his new post is probably a primarily personally motivated move (so that Helldivers 2 would be something he personally would be proud of) that he can sell to his board members. That he can then get a worthy stand in for the CEO post is probably him calling a personal favour and the week between the bit where we last heard from him and this news is just the paperwork going through.
All in all, some excellent news from some dude who cared enough about his golden egg laying goose to "demote" himself to a more hands on role and calling a bro to do the stuff he used to do. I'd also wager that Arrowhead is just small enough of an outfit for a move like this to happen in a week's timeframe. Any bigger and the red tape would have taken months.
Hey @LtBuzzLitebeer thank you so much for all of the time and love you put into your videos. I may not be in the Discord, but I am a part of another small squad and discord. We hope to see you and yours out there on the field someday. Stay awesome!
Im just glad johan is still in directory position, meaning he has a role above the new ceo, outside his cco position, it feels simular to what linus at LTT did, and that worked out for the better too
Money/resource sink is so simple: very expensive ship paint costomization both interior and exterior, maybe additional idle crew in the ship. Pedestals/plaques for trophy heads, maybe a minute weapon effect (like reload 5% faster or 2% more damage) that is a RNG roll that is a pure credit sink.
My parents were both small business owners in different fields and I’m stepping into one of their shoes in order to take over the clinic.
As someone who has been a close witness to both great and poor leadership styles in business, I really like what I’m seeing out of Arrowhead. Shit started going south and they are taking drastic measure to ensure a healthy future for the game.
I'll be honest, I think with this latest "Kill Order", I think we'll be just given those AT-Mines. I really hope we do.
IN the first game you could use samples to buy weapon and stratagem upgrades. we have ship/stratagem upgrades but no weapon upgrades.
If patrols are overtuned for overwhelming us, then buff the weapons so we can better deal with their assaults. Tweak the enemies time to time to make events difficult when necessary but this nerfing weapons is exactly what is making swarm situations outrageous.
The dev livestreams should be Johan and him playing with all the “bad guns” on difficulty 9.
It's crazy seeing 58k players 😢 I remember before they F..k those 180 countries, it was more than 200k players. Probably that's one of the reasons why the major orders now are taking forever to accomplished 🤷♂️
all I want is a good game, robust community and solid future.
Too much?
We had it.
I want my quasar cannon back. You feel every second that it’s not available. When you’re on Hell dive, and you got four or five chargers coming at you. It gets rough.
General Brasch fact for the day: You know why they can't balance weapons in this game? Cause no one can account for General Brasch's accuracy
i just hope they dont forget to fix the enemy spawn & patrol rates in this big upcoming patch, i kinda feel like they not really talking about that and instead just talking about the weapon balancing and the major orders, awesome video as always dude :)
I only fight bugs
From Launch to Erruptor drop I couldn't bring myself to not take light armor with 2 grenades because I needed that to be effective as the guy that typically runs off on his own to scavenge.
When the erruptor dropped, I actually wanted to play more with the team so I would have cover as I worked out the best way to play the game with my new snipe abilities. Firstly I HAD to take explosive resistant armor to not just die every time I got overwhelmed. Then I had to actually learn how to use something other than the Quasar (which I ultimately ended up sticking with because not being able to deal with bile titans is trolling) to patch in the gaps I was losing out on not having a shotgun. And I was close to replacing my impact grenades with stuns when they just decided to add the shrapnel glitch to that resulted in too many instances of me one shotting myself.
I genuinely doesn't make sense that they didn't just role back the Eruptor while they worked out a functioning nerf. The weapon went from a 1/2 shot to every enemy to being a joke with no place in the game for 0 reason. Combine that with the Quasar and Uzi nerf and they literally nerfed my entire loadout right when I was hitting my stride and playing long sessions, just like they did when they nerfed the Breaker and Rail gun while buffing enemies. The notion that I'll get hyped for a weapon only for it to be gutted before the next warbond drops is too much and with every weapon I would want to use not being as effective as it was last month combine with everyone I was playing with having moved on to other games I just sad.
I really wish they would do a 1.4 Division 1 patch where they build the tools they need to put out effective patches and get the game in a state where they can build and test at the same time. There's no way the last 2 patches were QA'd by anyone playing the game.
Raising the cap makes sense to me.
Let's say HD2 releases new stuff once a month. With a higher cap we can buy whatever is released right away and have a full month experimenting with it and gathering whatever will be needed for the next release and be ready again to buy and play with right away. Grinding/farming with the new stuff instead of for it.
Great video man. I always enjoy getting the latest tidbits of helldiver news from your vids! Keep up the good work! 😎
Well for the reward we dont know... sometimes we said that it would unlock something and nothing happened... perhaps they will give us finally anti tank mines?
Also completely on board with you for the nerfing part. A big part of the community do not go in diff 9 and dont solo it also. Nerfing a gun because 0.01% of players use it to cruise diff 9 is not the way... make an impossible diff 10 for those to have more challenges
I'm kind of reading this in a couple ways from his post... Either A, he is retaining his position as founder/owner of the studio but allowing somebody else to fill the shoes of the political side of things, or B, he hired someone else to take the reins of the company and he stepped down to be more creatively focused and hands-on with the game. That being said, it could be a good or bad thing depending on what is said since he didn't elaborate any inside the post. If he is still the owner and still does have creative control to be able to terminate the CEO should they begin to take the studio in a direction he disagrees with, then that's a good thing and that will hopefully keep the CEO in check especially if they have to go through him before any major changes to the studio's visions and goals. If it's the ladder option though... It may very well mean the beginning of the end for AH as we've seen time and time again, as soon as the passionate surrender their positions at the top to let somebody more corporately driven drive the ship, the ship often sinks within 5-10 years
I think it's more of a lateral move than stepping down. The Game needs a good Leader. I think it's better he move to a position with Game Development rather than Business Development.
You can hire a CEO.
Titanfall 1 themed burn cards to use req points and samples. Each one bought is a single use stratagem or campaign effect
How about they return our weapons back to the way they were instead of giving us just lip service???
We really don’t know what paths are set for a major order if completed. So the 50 medals may not be the only thing we achieve if we succeed
A new way to spend req slips would be cool. Once you unlock all the stratagems they just kinda sit there.
Pilestedt claims to have handed the reigns over to someone he trusts, but I see this as a threat. He was one of the staunchest fighters against sonys bullshit. I feel like Sony made him give his roll over to someone who will just bend over for daddy sonys giggle stick anytime they tell him to. The new guys is gonna have to prove he isn't a threat

Johan is the Dev Boss we need right now. I'm waiting for the Warbond armors to get buffs against fire/explosions/snow and also I need a higher difficulty than Helldive...even in the current state it feels too easy and grinding for lvl 150 takes too long without it having any actual benefit.

Back on track probably means what Sony wants and adding more pay stuff.
Based on what inside knowledge? You just telepathic or something?
Am I late to this observation? Is there a some kind of message to be taken from the kill count objective being the number pi?
Well, good! Arrowhead made this game, right now they sure seem a little lost, but ultimately the talent is there, hopefully he'll be able to steer the ship back in course... Also I called it way back, them devs are not playing the game, this much is clear, otherwise they would know why rebalancing doesn't feel good...
Yup, bullet sponges very rarely "feel" good to play against... If you look back, all games highly praised for their shooting are the ones that require some skills (accuracy/tactics/etc) but are also snappy and fast to dispatch... That combined w/ the right volume of enemies...
And you know what would work better for Helldivers2? Rock/paper/scissors type of approach (kinda) and being able to 1-tap hunters, and while I don't mind needing a "special" weapon to deal w/ heavies (chargers/tanks/titans/etc) being able to not take a whole "work day" to kill them would be great! A bullet spongy enemy would be okay, again kinda, if were like a big boss (one of a kind type and whatnot)
Great news, I would like to see cosmetic ship customization, not just adding the same thing to the ship as everyone else does when you upgrade it, give me Super Earth flags, dead bots with a flag pole through them, bug and bot trophies, a charger skin rug, custom weapon rack, a table to enjoy a cold one with your fellow helldivers after a stressful helldive
Is hard to know what the inside baseball is at Arrowhead . I just hope it is good for the game.
I usually play helldivers 2 on rank 7 or 8 I haven't had the confidence or the courage to play rank 9 yet as I'm still trying to get used to seven and eight then I'll make my way to 9 but it would be nice if we can get some of these weapon changes to make the game more fun
much positive talk, but we havent seen anything in the game yet that could make me cheer up.
I tend to play at Rank 4, though our group will play rank 7 from time to time, it's just for the super samples. We play for fun, not for gear.

I really just want to be able to use any stratagem combinaton to kill all enemies. It feels so bad to try and play for example turrets if they just instantly get charged by a charger and destroyed or try to use smokes and a flamethrower but then it drops in a bile titan or something like that and you're just.... Why can't I enjoy weapons and playstyles I like but be forced to adjust them to specific things that are effective at dispatching enemies. Why are the cooldowns so long? Would it not be more fun to see big explosions more often? Things like railcannon strike on 210s is just forever waiting for 2s of fun, this also leads to me holding these stratagems out until a specifc enemy appaears. Throwing a railcannon with 210s cd on a charger who I know will spawn another 10+ times in that timeframe just feels wrong. Then you have modifiers, scatter just makes precision strike well... completely useless and makes gass and ems barely usable. Or how half the weapons essentially can't kill dropships cuz that's fun.
all assisted reload capable support weapons are strong, it's just that almost no one wanna assist because everyone wants to be the one pulling the trigger.
maybe it could be mutual, firing while reloading the other and vice versa, the ultimate carnage xD
it's because no one wants to give up their AMMO to someone who may or may not actually be around when you NEED IT. It' not exactly rare for squads to get split up from huge hordes etc. PAeople would actually use team reload if they used YOUR ammo that YOU are wearing. Also, in most cases, the squad will have superior firepower output NOT doing team-reloads. At least, in my experience.
@@Harvest133so do it when its a defensive location? Ypu don't need to be backpack reload all the time

There’s like 4 different type of currency’s: resources , so imagine if we could just trade one resource for another isn’t a bad idea atleast for example 1000 gold for 500 diamonds , everything gets converted at a equal value

Johan becoming CCO seems like a good thing... but I dunno. There hasn't been a very good track record of people we gamers think are great people staying that way once they reach a very high position in a company. I'll watch and see if this guy "shows his true colors" or whatever. Not that I think he's sinister, just more so that money could end up changing his tune is all.
Johan is right for the most part. The tweak the TTK on lower and mid level mobs and make the devs play the game more. I honestly think the vast majority of the devs don’t play above difficulty 4-5.
orders are a lot harder when there are so many of us not playing until they fix the shit warbond and nerfs
Don't implement a resource exchange for cosmetic things, just let me exchange req slips for super rare samples.... I have been on 50k req slips for 3+ months, and could really use the SRS, as most people I can find to play with will not go after samples, and will kick me if I go to collect samples instead of sticking with the group
Hopefully the new CEO will fight against Snoy. Since the region bans STILL weren't removed, I have stopped helldiving because my friends overseas still can't helldive anymore, and they are past 100 hours for a refund..
Thought they could still play if the game was purchased before the ban date?
I stopped playing yesterday, since I have max medals and I cannot decide on which war bond I should get. Since the nerf vs mentality, just hit 1000 super credits.
Personally I prefer slightly more enemies, but with weapons that kick ass and take names. It had a good balance at the start, with maybe some tweak ups to assault rifles. Perhaps a utility on them like a grenade launcher that gives them an edge over energy weapons and the spray and pray model of the sickle (which is fun, just make AR's better please)
Vendor Donations?? Hm we could then get a Major Order to donation Common Samples to help "a cause". Been Capped on Credits and Common Samples for a while lol Maybe even a crafting system? Armor Upgrades like Fire or Bile resistance? Helmet Upgrades like reduced headshot damage or better targeting/highlighting?
I can't wait for them to bring out the other factions
All i want is to be able to exchange rarer samples for less rare ones at a decent exchange rate, and same goes for the other way. I have *so* many rares and no commons.
When I saw the announcement I pictured captain Picard tossing Wesley Crusher out of the seat at helm by his ear cause he's about to crash the enterprise into the mountain cause he won't shut up about politics on Twitter.
Definitely a clear sign that things aren't on the right track, but potentially with this hands on management by proven designers they can get things turned around before the people that have been making decisions cause irreparable harm.
Cautious optimism, and alot of patience are gonna be needed.
As far as balancing goes, weapons look pretty good compared to each other. But over all nerf to enemy health would do wonders for every weapon out there.

i don't see a problem with some players maxing out at difficultly 6 or 7, or even 4 or 5. it's okay to not play games on the highest difficultly settings! and it's okay to slowly work and get better over time until you're ready for it, there shouldn't just be a weapon that allows you to trivialize the greatest challenges the game has to offer (like the OG railgun). most people who choose to play games on the hardest setting do so because they want and enjoy a challenge! there are lots of ways to make the game more fun for players without making it easier and i hope they are able to find that balance, but i worry many players will not be satisfied unless they make weapons so strong that the games becomes way too easy for others, but it really is a "skill issue". i'm sure they can find a way to make it happen though!
We need resource sinks. I think that Pilestedt's move is a good one!
Before, you felt unstoppable and like a 1 man army, but not completely invincible.
Now you just feel like you have to constantly run, and dodge enemies otherwise you'll get into a 5 - 10 minute fight wasting time rather than doing the objective.
Like I'm pretty skilled, but anytime I play helldive difficulty above 7, its always my teammates lacking, and I can't hold everyone up.
I'd love to have SOMETHING to do with our extra samples, slips, and warbonds.
Here is an idea.. those that want to be hardcore agressive why not make them a new rank division.. and we can call them the generals or whatever.. so the most hardest of core gamers go there.. while the rest of us happy to have fun being cadets and stuff get to play finally with people that are less on edge:)

He just wanted the ability to WORK ON THE GAME more. His passion is game development, not people management. Cannot say I respect any game studio more than Arrowhead.
This is really fucking good and is going to make this game more fun I mean I have every stratagem and I’m waiting for more also my every war bond polar patriots sucks but can’t wait
