Now if we could cleanse the junk and joke guides as well somehow…

These guys aren’t in some kind of parade or ceremonial display, nor do they appear to be at a guard post.

They’re just soldiers standing by. In that situation there’s no need for a uniform display to impress anyone. Keeping soldiers at drill precision 100% all thetime is a good way to fatigue soldiers who don’t need to be perfect quickly.

Besides which, all of them have a hand near their trigger guards and most have hands resting on the barrel of their weapons so are reasonably prepared if someone does try something.

Your number 2 is based around cultural, not species differences. Two humans raised in two different cultures could end up very different.

There could be two tribes of goblins. One that began eating people out of desperation and now just do it because it’s tradition. The other could have grown up in close relationships with their nongoblin neighbors and are seen as a valuable part of their region.

So untying evilness to their race isn’t being race blind or pretending people down have struggles - it’s removing the shoehorning that occurred.

I think the difference is that helldivers 2 never required me to log into anything except my steam account to play until only recently.

Just be cause the game says it may require it, but it’s not enforces from day 1, doesn’t change that feeling of having the rug pulled.

People don’t have a problem with needing an account, they have a problem with suddenly needing to have an account if they purchased and played it without one.

Same, largely. I love the look and feel of everything but…

I dunno. I just struggle to remain engaged in it. And I can’t decide on a char build either for some reason.

My friend group all said they stopped at the part where you rescue a certain somebody from a BD den, too. Which they said it just felt meh.

I’m slowly trying to force myself through it.

Personally, I’d like to see a bit more adjustment in ship abilities.

It feels like they’ve got active abilities on every ship you have to press to get them using their full potential. Even if they have adjusted the length and timer of the cool down, It doesn’t feel very good to me that way.

Red alert 3 kinda killed me because every unit had an alternate mode or active ability I had to use and target on enemies. If you weren’t constantly toggling abilities on all units or making use of these targeted abilities you were going to get rolled.

I’m hoping we can move some of these abilities over into researchable passives. It feels like adding all these activatables is ment to increase the skill ceiling for competitive gaming, which I can also see how that may be beneficial.
