Helldivers 2 is going through some growing pains\u2014its runaway success is a blessing for any developer, but it's also thrust the game into a burning spotlight. With a massive playerbase comes scrutiny, review bombing<\/a>, and community drama<\/a> in heaps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As part of said growing pains, CEO Johan Pilestedt recently admitted he believes the game's balancing patches have “gone too far”<\/a>. Recent replies from community manager Twinbeard on the game's Discord have subsequently confirmed that there's a ton of balancing talks going on at Arrowhead HQ right now\u2014and that the pressure's been building.<\/p>\n

In a series of 10 questions offered to Discord-goers, Twinbeard noted that the team was “aware there's a lot of concern regarding warbond cadence and us possibly over-balancing and\/or nerfing too much,” and that the team has been “discussing it a lot internally ATM!”<\/p>\n

Twinbeard states that, while he doesn't want to “speak on other people's behalf,” he believes that Arrowhead Games is <\/em>listening. “I really do hope it's not a matter of us not listening or dying on a hill, rather than admitting if [something] is off. We're nothing without the players.”<\/p>\n

The devs of Helldivers 2 have expressed a pretty concrete set of design goals<\/a> for weapon balance in the past, namely that the “don't buff, only nerf” philosophy shouldn't always be adhered to. But while it's clear that something's off (and there's certainly plenty of reasonable points happening) I'm not sure Twinbeard's further note that “we should always adhere to player sentiment” pans out.<\/p>\n

Considering the sheer amount of unadulterated noise <\/em>the Helldivers 2 playerbase makes\u2014sheerly by virtue of how big it is\u2014it's already a mammoth task just to tune in and filter. Generally speaking, player bases are very good at identifying genuine problems, but not so great at offering solutions\u2014or even understanding why said problems are happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As an example, ricochet changes had a swarm of players decrying them, but it turned out it was an issue with the shrapnel of a specific gun, and that rockets being reflected was a myth<\/a>. The rumour mill churns out lies faster than truths.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What interests me more is Twinbeard's confirmation that: “the cadence and initial months since launch have been high and hectic respectively. We're still playing catch-up, and there are undoubtedly elements in the game process that have suffered from that.” I never had much doubt this was the case, but to hear the studio's been wrestling with success for certain is perhaps reassuring for the game's future\u2014if they can catch up, at least.<\/p>\n

According to Twinbeard, the PSN controversy<\/a> was also a huge tax on resources. “When [something] like the PSN-gate (\u2122) happens, a lot of things come to a halt. Many of us at AH more or less 'lost' a week due to this, and only now are slowly getting back to what we were doing before all of this.<\/p>\n

“If you ask me personally,” Twinbeard adds in a later message. “I think the biggest issue so far has been that we were overwhelmed already by launch. It takes time\u2014a lot of time\u2014to bounce back and get ahead with such massive pressure, and what can easily be perceived as us being slow or not listening is more (IMHO anyway) the fact that we're still not up to speed \u2026 we're hiring and learning, though!”<\/p>\n

I don't envy Arrowhead Games' position one bit\u2014well, maybe I envy the money, money's always nice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, being under intense scrutiny from thousands upon thousands of internet strangers is never pleasant, especially when you're tasked with picking out good ideas from the onslaught of noise. A lot of Twinbeard's comments here, however, speak to a vibe I've gotten from Arrowhead for a while\u2014that everyone involved might benefit from slowing down just a little<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/article>\n
