Summary

  • Community backlash over Helldivers 2's recent nerfs to flamethrowers has prompted "internal discussions" at developer Arrowhead.
  • Helldivers 2 fans were told on Discord that the studio has "heard your feedback," and is now discussing the best possible course of action going forward.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Helldivers 2 has seen a slight surge in popularity over the past few days, mostly because of the big Escalation of Freedom update, which is convincing more people to dive in and give the g💮ame another try. Unfortunately for developer Arrowhead, that means more people are now upset with them, after a range of nerfs to popular weaponry has seen the studio receive some backlash from the community.

It all started when 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fans found out that flamethrowers h♋ad been gutted, leading many to claim the changes are "completely asinine" and "make no sense," while the lackluster edition of the long-memed anti-tank mi🌜nes only compounded the issues even further. After the update launched, Helldivers 2 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:received its second revie🌠w-bombing this year (the first being 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the whole PSN sign-in fiasco), as tempers among 🔜the community are now starting to flare.

Arrowhead is a studio that is very connected with its community, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:often participating in jokes and me💦mes, and will no doubt be aware of the Escalation of Freedom update's negative reception. In fact, Arrowhead has told fans on the game's Discord server that "a lot of internal discussions about the best course of action" have already been held, and that feedback on the update has been heard.

Having lost the vast majority of its audience over the months si༺nce release, Arrowhead likely knows it can't keep irritating and pushing away its most loyal fans. It would be surprising if the studio did absolutely nothing to try and remedy the situation, and we'll likely see some changes soon, whether it be bowing down to the demand of fans and reverting the nerfs entirely, or going with some currently unknown third option that straddles the fine line between balanced and overpowered.

We don't know exactly what Arrowhead is planning to do about complaints, but it should be some comfort to those of you out there upset with the studio that it's already talking about how to improve things going forward. Then again, nerfs have been a big problem with Helldivers 2 ever since launch, with many claims that the studio is sucking all the fun out of the game, so we'll have to wait and see whether fans will keep putting up with them.
