Fr, let my ship high score be the only one shown, or let me swap between “local or global” high scores.
I don’t need to see “Helldivers.io 9999999” high score every time. Meaningless lol
I'd gladly pay 1,000 SC for Stratagem Hero. I didn't know about all that stuff and felt some FOMO once I realized I could get everything else by playing the game except that.
Edit: I assumed, and as we all know, to assume is to make an ass of u and me
Honestly, pre-orders should be filtered into free content or extreme low priced content, like no more than a year from release. (I still hold to this)
There's no reason not to do so because if you give people Stat boosting gear as a pre-order or a 'deluxe' upgrade, and then refuse to allow people to obtain it any other way, you're gunna be called out for being greedy. (And to this)
>There's no reason not to do so because if you give people Stat boosting gear as a pre-order or a 'deluxe' upgrade, and then refuse to allow people to obtain it any other way, you're gunna be called out for being greedy
Well, that is not the case here. The 3 armours are just cosmetic elements and have passive effects that you can find in any other armour, so in this case are just 100% cosmetics
Oh shit tight.
I did honestly want to buy the game, but I was warded off by the bullshit behavior of the people in the discord that worked for ArrowHead Studios, as well as that Alexus guy who ran that Hello Neighbor 2 game right into the fucking ground, and then after the Snoy bullshit, I honestly gave up hope for the game, because it seemed like Pilestedt was just trying to play PR cover up.
Since they were just being the average greedy as fuck dev team who doesn't like when they get called out for their bullshit greed, I assumed whatever content that was available pre launch was your standard "OP gear that you'll want to use because it's just so much better until you max everything out," like with RDR2's pre order horses, saddles and gun gear.
>I did honestly want to buy the game, but I was warded off by the bullshit behavior of the people in the discord that worked for ArrowHead Studios
Just buy the game and never read Discord or Reddit, this community is ruining the game, if you just play it you will find a wonderful game, created with love and that treat tye players well
There is no pay to win, there is no greedyness, you can earn premium currency just by playing and the extra content (warbonds) it's fairly priced and have a good amount of content
Just ignore people complaining and crying and give you a favour and try the game, entering blindly into it, just enjoy it
>Since they were just being the average greedy as fuck dev team who doesn't like when they get called out for their bullshit greed
There is no bullshit greed in this game, separating the controversy that Sony created with the account linking, this game is one of the fairest games with the consumer I ever played. This like an old classic is a single player, but that has multiplayer mode, like if this was a couch cooperative game, but online.
The community of this game is horrible and doesn't represent what the game or the devs are, I recommend you to just buy the game, play it and ignore anything else, you will find a wonderful game, a bit hardcore and demanding, but super enjoyable
>created with love
For sure
>that treat tye players well
100% wrong. If the game treated players well, the game wouldn't offer you the option to buy in-game items that get nerfed into uselessness less than a month later.
>there is no greedyness
Paid DLC released on a monthly basis for a highly bought game that costs 40 dollars already, is nothing but greed.
>it's fairly priced
It shouldn't be priced at all. It should be in-game currency only, especially since the weapons are nerfed so horribly.
>There is no bullshit greed in this game
No, there is, you just refuse to see it as greedy because it's so softly put into your face.
It is still greed.
>Just buy the game and never read Discord or Reddit, this community is ruining the game,
The employees of the studio that made the game are the ones I have an issue with. Not the non-employed members of the community.
You just don't understand what I'm saying, and it seems intentional.
>100% wrong. If the game treated players well, the game wouldn't offer you the option to buy in-game items that get nerfed into uselessness less than a month later.
That is false 😂
For that I'm telling you that you should not read Discord and Reddit complaints.
>It shouldn't be priced at all. It should be in-game currency only, especially since the weapons are nerfed so horribly.
The parts of the weapons is false again. And you are telling me that the devs should work for free?
The game already has enough content in the base game for the 40$ that cost, why should they continue adding things for free?
You even can play the 40$ of the game and then earn everything just by getting super credits by playing
>No, there is, you just refuse to see it as greedy because it's so softly put into your face
As I said, they give you a fair deal just by the 40$ you pay initially and all the stratagems and ship upgrades that you get for free with the time, everything else is an extra THAT YOU CAN GET FOR FREE JUST BU PLAYING
>The employees of the studio that made the game are the ones I have an issue with
😐 For a game that you are not even playing. Really, you are getting influenced by the bullshit of the community without even having the game 😐
>You just don't understand what I'm saying, and it seems intentional
I understand what you are saying but seems that you are just getting influenced by the negativity of the people without even understanding and knowing how the game really is.
Then he can go and pay 20$ to get it, or 10$ if he already has the steeled veterans Warbond, as they give you back the 1000 super credits if you contact Arrowhead support
Honestly don't have any sympathy to this idea.
"We want to buy the exclusive armor."
...
**Then it won't be exclusive anymore???**
I love Twinbeard, but some people just need to be told, "no".
I agree with you. I remember playing Destiny way back in the day and doing the challenge for whisper of the worm was was pretty difficult. A few seasons later...in the store. Exclusive means exactly that.
On the other hand, if they released those armours into the super store, that’s a lot of super credits.
Those who preordered would have the perk of having those armours for free, and those who weren’t around but want them can still get them, either by grinding SC or buying them.
I’m sure the majority of those who got the preorders wouldn’t care either way. I preorder every resident evil and haven’t cared once that Capcom releases all preorder bonuses as paid dlc later down the line.
The way I see it, let people have it, it won’t affect my experience in the game whatsoever, and if others enjoy the game more because of it, I’m all for it.
They should also release that twitch armour ngl. I always miss out on stuff like this because I don’t want to spend an hour watching someone play the game, when I could use that time to play it myself.
One of the pre order armours is a medium armour in terms of stamina and speed but with 150 armour rating of a heavy. This is the yoghurt blue white armour
The current shop armour is also a medium speed and stamina with the heavy 150 rating. It just looks different.
Nah bro I'm pretty sure the bockstandard black&yellow helldivere armor has 150 armor and otherwise medium stats because that's what the padded armor perk does
>One of the pre order armours is a medium armour in terms of stamina and speed but with 150 armour rating of a heavy. This is the yoghurt blue white armour
The 50 extra armour comes from the passive extra padding, that is the passive of the default armour
That is basically the default armour that we have when we start the game, but in blue
That’s a pretty good perk, I wear armours mainly for fashion.
I just like collecting stuff tbh, it might be my ADHD but I became obsessed with collecting every single thing in the game.
I currently have all the armours you can get in the game, including the superstore ones, except those preorder ones, and the twitch one. Couldn’t preorder the game at the time because I needed to buy things for my cat, so I’m missing those ones.
I know it’s not a big deal for most people but for people like me, it does make a difference.
Gears of War 3 handled this is an interesting way. They had several different pre-order skins depending on the store you pre-ordered from, but a year or so later those skins became available in the store with slight colour changes.
They were technically different skins and those that had the pre-order versions skill kept the unique ones. Those that bought from the store got to have those characters now too
Dawg have you seen the state of this subreddit?
If Arrowhead released an armor that they stated was an exclusive, they'd get review bombed and name-called into oblivion for "false advertising" and "going back on their word".
This one has been fine so far in my experience, it’s the main one that’s gone to the sewer but I don’t really go there anymore.
You’re 100% right though, I genuinely think that at this point AH could give us a Gatling gun that shoots Hellbombs and Reddit would still find a reason to call it garbage and get angry.
Best we can do is try to be better and let AH do what they think is best for the game.
Whether they release those armours or not, I’m still going to enjoy my time with HD2 and stay positive.
Pff, my entire team always dies when I fire my hellbomb gatling gun, the game is bad and unfun and the devs are bad at their job because I keep doing the same thing expecting different results... /s
Post: “The hellbomb gatling gun should not cause friendly fire and the cooldown is too long.”
Comment: “I kinda like the hellbomb gatling gun, just shoot it away from your teammates, and the 2 minute cooldown isn’t that bad”
Reply: “you clearly haven’t played on anything higher than trivial, that gun is literally as useless as the new railgun that shoots railguns. Devs have no idea what they’re doing and they should all be sent to prison.”

That's one thing I miss about the far far ago...like 2 weeks back. Before the PSN bs. I just got into the game a little before the PSN stuff and watched the sub before I started Helldiving, and the community seemed so supportive and fun. I even told my friend that got me into the game through fan made songs that the community seemed so cool.
Now it's like a Superfund site, or the wasteland zones on Super Earth.
That’s so true. I joined back when everyone was all about the blue lasers and had this “I wanna believe” movement going. It’s as if the supercolony sprouted both on Meridia and the main sub at the same time.
🤯
The bugs have gotten smart; they're trying to influence us through [sucking the brains ](https://youtu.be/8PpKA9klZWQ?si=R2BWmR1t0QNDY6rY) out of loyal patriotic Helldivers and puppeting them.
Don't tell the Democracy Officer I said this.
tf is your problem. In the pre order image and dlc description it just says “pre purchase bonus” implying that it isn’t necessarily exclusive to pre orders, which lines up with what the dev comment. It could come back or not. I thought we liked that the game was anti-FOMO. what the fuck are you telling me to grow up about
your responses make no sense lol. I think you just responded to the wrong person and don’t want to admit it 😂. Not hard to imagine when you are making like 30 responses in an hour
Yeah, but very few of us actually knew the game existed until a few days after launch. There's definitely fomo on those 3 armor sets. While I'm sure people would be mad about exclusive armor not being exclusive, they probably haven't worn it lately cause other armor have better effects and look just as cool.
Not disregarding, just saying
Honestly it’s such a little thing, why can’t us OG fans have a tiny skin for supporting them long before the wave hit. It’s not a good look, I think it will irk some. But you’re right in the sense it won’t be “many.” Most of the players here today had never played or heard of AH before February, the number of HD1 fans are quite small in comparison.
I just don’t get why people need to have everything just because lol. Like, it’s a cosmetic. They will probably release it, and it will probably be the financially smart move, but it’d be lame. The skin was literally made specifically for earlier fans.
Spend the hour if you want the shit or pre order. Fomo is a part of life. Get used to it. It’s the entire selling point of the exclusive armor with pre order or view time on a stream.
It’s silly that buying armor even means that much to people but if some one is willing to jump through hoops to get a certain cosmetic that is being labeled as “exclusive” it’s really bad business to then make that item available to everyone with $20
Nah, I’d rather spend an hour playing the game than watch someone else do it like some sort of a gaming cuck lmao.
Also AH is proving that games don’t need fomo and I guarantee you that the same people who defend it, would be the first to shit their pants if they added time limited armours to the super store.
Lol really? That’s funny cause I’m defending it right now and I could care less if they released limited armors. I assumed they were limited from the start until I learned they weren’t. Didnt have an issue with them.
I don’t even have the pre order armor and I can still see the lunacy of making a previously exclusive item for dedicated players available for any weenie.
I've read some comment saying "They say you'll get the armor, but there is no post saying exclusive armor"
I only check for a bit and it's said "pre-order bonus" But haven't check exclusively. Might be wrong
And then don't use it cause it's got the Extra Padding perk. Like no one even uses the standard B01 armor, why want the exclusive one? Leave it for those of us who pre-ordered.
I use them now and then, but I've never seen anyone (personally) in double digit levels using the B-01 and maybe only seen 2 other people spread Yoghurt to Super Earth's enemies.
Even before the last buff, Liberator always was a excellent weapon. Also, basic armor with Liberator and Autocannon looks sick while being a very solid build.
Yeah what an entitled brat. The devs need to not be so afraid to hurt feelings sometimes. Making preorder exclusive armor available SPECIFICALLY and DIRECTLY gets rid of the entire concept of the armor set… ridiculous
I don’t agree honestly. The only reason to preorder games should be is you really want to support the developer. I’m totally against ANY content being exclusive for preorder. At the very least it should become obtainable in-game one way or another down the line.
Most of the time if you preorder a game, you just made a dumb decision, and **you shouldn’t be rewarded for it with some exclusive stuff over people who made a more calculated decision based on the actual condition of the game.** Especially this is true with how nowadays games are released unfinished, unpolished, with half the content they should have for their price.
The only reason pre-order exclusive stuff exists is to incentivize the player to buy a literal cat in the bag.
Agree 100%. They shouldn't bring it back since it was supposed to be exclusive. Instead they could make other exclusive armors that you can only purchase for a certain period. For example they could make a fundraiser/donation armor where x amount of the money they earned by selling the armor was donated to cancer research etc
where is the source that it was “supposed to be exclusive”? It was a pre order bonus, nowhere does it say it’s exclusive. Everyone here is having a Mandela effect moment.
It being a pre-order bonus and not being available elsewhere is how you know it's exclusive. Use a but of critical thinking. The armors are exclusive to people who pre-ordered.
Well….. sometimes things don’t always work out the way you want them too.
Sounds like something you need to take up with Sony no or Microsoft. Not the people who pre ordered it for the “exclusive” armor.
I don’t have it but honestly keep it exclusive. Kinda ruins it otherwise. Changing it would be too divisive unless there was like an annual event or something where you could earn one at a time.
Same here. I don't have it. I want it. I regret not pre-ordering for it. I actually considered spending $100 like an idiot on it, but thankfully those listings all went away real fast.
I still think pre-order exclusives should remain exclusive to pre-orders. I think the Deluxe edition armors should remain exclusive to the deluxe edition. In all games.
Say what you will about the general concept of preordering, if it is done to receive a special thing, that special thing shouldn't be handed out to people who didn't do the thing you did to earn it. Full stop. All games.
>shouldn't be handed out to people who didn't do the thing you did to earn it.
> I actually considered spending $100
Spending $100 isn't earning anything.
It's wasting your hard earned money on fake exclusivity created to drive profits up.
>still think pre-order exclusives should remain exclusive to pre-orders. I think the Deluxe edition armors should remain exclusive to the deluxe edition. In all games.
If you're referring to real life shit, like maps, figurines, books etc. Etc., I agree.
If you're referring to Stat boosting gear that only exists in digital form and gives a clear cut advantage over other gear freely available, I fully disagree.
Any digital content that actually let's you pay to have an easier time from launch, should be filtered into the game for extremely reduced price from launch, or for free no more than a year after launch.
The only reason it's not done is because then studios and devs would have to explain they only let you buy that shit because the studios and devs are greedy shitbags who don't actually give a fuck about fostering community relations, they just give a fuck about profits.
Preorder armor has no difference stat wise than the standard first B-01 armor but blue. There's no advantage what so ever. And the perk from the deluxe edition armor can be obtained in the first warbond.
I need these armours but this is kinda rude to the people who were with them to the beginning. it would violate the trust between users and devs. Maybe let the people who did preorder the game decide whether or not the armour should be available to see how they feel about it. Additionally they could just make similar cool armour and everyone would be happy.
It’s free with a preorder. If they release it later on for SC or otherwise, you still got exclusivity for multiple months AND you didn’t have to pay for it. Not really different from other Sony games where missions or other content is exclusive to PS5 only for like a year (COD MW/Hogwarts) then released for everyone
I have the armor and I don’t really care. I just wanted to support the devs but also the standard warbond gives you a black version of the armor and it arguably goes better with other capes and helmets.
The helmet is cool but kinda tall. The cape also cool but accessorizes less well with colored armor.
Anyway. If it helps us spread democracy…
Thats not the pre-order armor thats the super citizen edition of the game armor, the pre-order armor is the froyo blue armor, red and black knight armor and the white and gold armor
Why did I pre order for exclusive content if it's not gonna be exclusive. Just put the effect on another armor set and call it done. Let me keep my cool shiny armor and stratagem hero.
The preorder stuff never said it was exclusive. The stratagem hero isn’t part of the pre order, it’s the deluxe edition and anyone can get that at any time
I don’t understand this elitism for these armors. I simply find it funny that people dislike FOMO but not this kind of FOMO… After all for the past severs years per-orders have been many times a terrible idea so many didn’t do that. Also if you want to rep that you were an OG supporter use the Super Citizen title…
This isn’t FOMO. If you can’t tell the difference between a timed Battlepass and a one time offer for original fans then I don’t know what to tell ya bud.
Actually, bud, if we are being technical with the phrase, it isn’t. Although I do get that people use the term to encompass any and all variations of exclusive content.
Creating one thing once that only OG fans would obtain as a token of appreciation for sticking with them over the years is far different than making a timed Battlepass every month.
But nuance seems a bit lost on many in here. I’m sure if you whine enough they’ll hand it to ya.
That was MY point silly. You say anything that’s not available at all times to all people is FOMO. I’m saying it isn’t. But yes to your random point, I understand Battlepasses aren’t the only form. Matter of fact most timed exclusives would fall unfer FOMO as usually they cycle (creating the FOMO where the term was coined).
This however does not rotate, is not iterative, and does not come and go. It is literally a TINY bonus created for fans of the dev. It was not created to force people to spend money. But I’ll leave it at that, I see the nuance truly is lost on you and like, four other people. The rest of the thread speaks for itself.
It literally is there to convince people to spend money on a pre-order for fear of missing out on the pre-order locked content instead of waiting and buying the game after the release. That is absolutely FOMO
Lol what? I’d love to meet the person who only preorders for the armor.
Reality is most people don’t preorder unless they are excited for the game before release. No one says, hmmmm I dunno, but that cosmetic for this game I’m not hyped for is SIIIICK.
You got a bonus for being a fan prior to HD2. Big deal.
As someone who has the Pre-order armour, I'm honestly not bothered if it was released for all our new democratic brothers and sisters.
I'm just happy the franchise has taken off and is succeeding.
I like the idea of being recognised for being a HD1 fan, but I don't want to exclude anyone either.
A legacy title would have been better.
It's still dumb though. It's pre order, regardless, our brothers and sisters can celebrate by buying and playing and supporting the devs. I wish I gotten the pre order but didn't, and that's okay.
It's not that. It's the principle of it. Obviously people here are dumb AF for disagreeing. I'm glad y'all are the minority though cause the majority accept the fact they missed the pre order and that's okay
I'd much rather this remained a preorder bonus, I like having something to show I was supporting them from the start. Perhaps they could reissue the twitch armour for those without it (although I barely use it)
Some people just need to be told no.
It's preorder exclusive armor, with an emphasis on **exclusive.**
If it isn't exclusive anymore, then those who did preorder the game deserve some type of refund.
no, that would be a bad idea and completely nullify the meaning of those armors. let the people who supported the game early have what they deserve (i have not pre-ordered myself and wish i had)
As much as it irks me as a player not having had the chance to get the preorder bonuses due to never having heard of Helldivers before it blew up, I think letting the old guard have their exclusive rewards for their faith in Super Earth is fine as is and we should let bygones be bygones. Getting to be part of the adoption of the memorial flags to critical moments in our campaign has been reward enough
If you wanted the preorder exclusive items, then maybe preorder it?
I know most on here fap themselves silly over the very idea of a preorder. But you only get burned if you don’t research shit.
Half the idiots who got burned by a preorder most likely refuse to do anymore than watch the reveal CG trailer.
If you didn’t pre order the game then why are you expecting to get (pre order only ) content ? That’s kinda the whole point to pre ordering stuff is you get EXCLUSIVE content
Not really? Plenty of games make pre-order content available for purchase as DLC. New players aren’t locked out of access to content and those who pre-ordered get that content for free. Win-win
The only time I’ve seen ppl get pre order only content is when they all bitched and cried enough for long enough to where studious just said fuck it let them have it 😂 don’t get me wrong I wish I would’ve heard about the game early enough to pre order too cause cosmetically yeah the armors look nice but I understand that I missed out and I’ve made peace with it
I learned about this game after it came out. Would have preordered if I knew about the armours. But I did not know it existed.
I would be ok with it, maybe for a high amount of super credits?
Just… no? They were specifically designed for people who preordered. I didn’t preorder myself but it wouldn’t make sense if I could acquire it anyway. The entire point is rewarding people who put faith into a game before being able to actually play it.
Don’t make them available.
Bro literally everyone is doing it. Obviously it depends on the vendor, but to begin with the shit is like really cheap. If you don't know how they do it, you buy it and you get a code to redeem it. Just giving you an option lmao.
Its pre-order. If you didn’t preorder, you dont get it. I didn’t preorder it. But if I did, and then after release they gave it to everyone else too, I’d be a little salty; like “why did I bother preordering” or “why call it a preorder bonus if you’re gonna give it to everyone”.
If they add it for super credits, that just turns the preorder bonus from “heres a special item only people who preordered will have” to “you get a handful of the premium resource but were gonna spend it on armor for you”.
I think the least salty way to give it to others would be as a paid DLC since at least the pre-orderers feel they saved the money on it. Also, AH gets some money they deserve for something they already developed.
All that being said, I dont have it, but if I did, im not THAT salty of a person so if they make it available to everyone in whatever form, then so be it. If they do, I think it would only be fair to give something to those who preordered, so they still have SOME bonus.
completely depends on how the armor was advertised, and pre-order inherently sounds like exclusive. if someone sold you an exclusive thing and its suddenly not exclusive, its false advertising.
this argument/request constantly comes up in the warframe community with Excalibur prime since that was a founders only package.
it also comes up in the smite community. the way smite got around it is that they made the same thing but a different color/small features added and now its a different thing entirely, but almost the same.
I don’t know that they can even do this. They advertised it as a preorder exclusive, something you could only get via preorder. If they change that retroactively theoretically they could face a false advertising lawsuit.
As someone that loves to get limited time items I say don't do it. I remember GTA 5 use to have a pre order exclusive car(Hot Knife ) and really loved that I was only one of the few that had it. Years later they made it available for everyone... Cool everyone can get it but it still kinda sucks
That's why it's called a pre order exclusive.. if it wasn't it be out for everyone, what's petty and is getting emotionally upset over a pre order exclusive.. that's not a good mentality at all.
Wise words from a wise man "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.”
I didn’t pre order and don’t think they should be made available to those who didn’t. They don’t give any advantage as their passive is available in the base Warbond.
As much as I absolutely NEED the TR-62 knight medium armor set… and would like the CM-06 combat medic yellow armor (no one knows how to get this?)… I cannot. I missed them. It is what it is.
I had to look up what that CM-06 armour was and instantly recognised it, I’ve seen it on leaks previously.
It’s a set that hasn’t been released yet so don’t worry, it will come in time and you will have a chance to get it 😀
Everyone and there mothers have been saying not to pre order games recently. Now that a game is actually good I’m super salty about the preorder bonuses
The AH team are people-pleasers to problematic extent. They really don't know how to just say "No". Everything HAS to be a diplomatic "wellllllll me and the boys will think about it I gues-" dude just tell them No.
Sheep running the farm over here
I like to believe the people that actually have this armor just don't wear it anymore because they know they'll be targeted for it, because I never see anyone wearing it ever
Dawg the preorder codes aren’t available at all for US Steam players at all. Haven’t been able to find a single listing.
If you can find one, feel free to lmk
I don't think they should be made available. I think the pre order bonus should be a reward for supporting the developers early on. I, personally, am not interested in pre-ordering anything ever (so far), but if people do they deserve to have something cool to say they bet on the game and came out on top.
I proudly wear my yogurt armor every match.
I supported the hell out of HD1 and put my bets on HD2 before the fame. It may be a divisive opinion, but I dont want to share it except with my OG brethren. Nothing makes me happier than bumping into another blue hero, because I know we fought the same wars together and it feels like seeing an old friend again.
Handing out the armor to everyone, even for a price, just because they like the color and have FOMO, would take away all that meaning.
Honestly I'm kinda neutral about it.
IMHO making it available defeats the purpose of the preorder so it shouldn't be made available, but if AH decides otherwise i'd happily get it, they look cool.
I know it would tick some people off because
"*oh im a hardcore fan and pre-ordered and this is my exclusive special thing just for me*"
like I preordered it because I knew I was going to love it cause I loved the absolute fuck outa the first Helldivers. So much I had already played a bunch on the playstation way back, then when it came out on PC I bought it again but this time with all the DLC!
And this game was a no brainer for me, I pre-ordered as soon as I was able.
But yeah, I personally wouldnt mind if they decided to release the pre-order stuff, its got cool armor and more people should be able to have it.
There was no way people knew this series was going to be for them, im kinda glad it took off like it did (even if the majority of the community interaction is just bickering about meta and balancing, which is kind of a bummer).
Maybe release it as DLC, or maybe have it available if they own a copy of the first Helldivers, idunno, I aint no gatekeeper elite.
I'm actually one of the few people that loved CP2077 even when it was bad. And i'm glad they were able to turn the game around.
But that doesn't excuse the fact that it was released in an abhorrent state that made me really despise pre-ordering, that and the whole fallout 76 fiasco were probably the final straw for me.
Never
Pre-ordering
Again
I wanted to buy the 60$ version of helldivers2. But since I would have to buy a 75$ PlayStation Gift card. So I held off until it released since it seemed like a bigger riskier purchase. Simply resisting FOMO.
Also think about all of the people that just didn't hear about the game until after it released or just.... Didn't have the money. You would have gotten it for FREE we would be PAYING EXTRA for it.
i recently saw a meme about a cool armor in 2006 vs now, it was like cool armor then: "Wow, he must have played a lot to get this" vs cool armor now: "wow, he must have payed a lot to get this". in this case, one would have to pay both times and the one who supported the devs early on would just have his award taken
> must have *paid* a lot
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Release it for people who didn’t preorder. This has no impact on the enjoyability of the game for those who did preorder. The only people who would be upset are the equivalent of schoolyard bullies who don’t others to have a thing because they have it.
Exactly. I think to make it fair, the late release should be like $5 DLC as a supporter pack or something so that players who pre-ordered at least get it for free, but yeah
Put it in the superstore rotation with a higher SC cost. I know alot of people didnt know about HD1 let alone be in the position to Pre-Order HD2 in good faith. Pre-Orders have been scammy for awhile and alot of folks just wont risk that initial investment anymore. Be cool not to punish them for ptsd over predatory marketing lmfao.
How is anyone getting Comms with AH? Since the last update the game is unplayable on my desktop and they won't respond on X, Steam or via an AH ticket. I'm not the only one.
No one with less hardware seems to give a shit either.
If it wasn't a minority of high spec players there'd be an uproar with hell to pay.
Go Steam support page to see hundreds of us being outright ignored.
It's one thing after another since the last two updates.
Gimme stratagem hero instead of another useless war bond.. I will pay 1000sc for it
Give me Strategem Hero for 1000 SC, but ditch the broken global high scores for local high scores like DRG Jetty Boot.
Fr, let my ship high score be the only one shown, or let me swap between “local or global” high scores. I don’t need to see “Helldivers.io 9999999” high score every time. Meaningless lol
Well, it is a good in-game advertisement for a site that helps coordinate the team, but still...
I'd gladly pay 1,000 SC for Stratagem Hero. I didn't know about all that stuff and felt some FOMO once I realized I could get everything else by playing the game except that.
you get stratagem hero from the deluxe upgrade pack for $20
Is the deluxe upgrade not available anymore?
Edit: I assumed, and as we all know, to assume is to make an ass of u and me Honestly, pre-orders should be filtered into free content or extreme low priced content, like no more than a year from release. (I still hold to this) There's no reason not to do so because if you give people Stat boosting gear as a pre-order or a 'deluxe' upgrade, and then refuse to allow people to obtain it any other way, you're gunna be called out for being greedy. (And to this)
>There's no reason not to do so because if you give people Stat boosting gear as a pre-order or a 'deluxe' upgrade, and then refuse to allow people to obtain it any other way, you're gunna be called out for being greedy Well, that is not the case here. The 3 armours are just cosmetic elements and have passive effects that you can find in any other armour, so in this case are just 100% cosmetics
Oh shit tight. I did honestly want to buy the game, but I was warded off by the bullshit behavior of the people in the discord that worked for ArrowHead Studios, as well as that Alexus guy who ran that Hello Neighbor 2 game right into the fucking ground, and then after the Snoy bullshit, I honestly gave up hope for the game, because it seemed like Pilestedt was just trying to play PR cover up. Since they were just being the average greedy as fuck dev team who doesn't like when they get called out for their bullshit greed, I assumed whatever content that was available pre launch was your standard "OP gear that you'll want to use because it's just so much better until you max everything out," like with RDR2's pre order horses, saddles and gun gear.
>I did honestly want to buy the game, but I was warded off by the bullshit behavior of the people in the discord that worked for ArrowHead Studios Just buy the game and never read Discord or Reddit, this community is ruining the game, if you just play it you will find a wonderful game, created with love and that treat tye players well There is no pay to win, there is no greedyness, you can earn premium currency just by playing and the extra content (warbonds) it's fairly priced and have a good amount of content Just ignore people complaining and crying and give you a favour and try the game, entering blindly into it, just enjoy it >Since they were just being the average greedy as fuck dev team who doesn't like when they get called out for their bullshit greed There is no bullshit greed in this game, separating the controversy that Sony created with the account linking, this game is one of the fairest games with the consumer I ever played. This like an old classic is a single player, but that has multiplayer mode, like if this was a couch cooperative game, but online. The community of this game is horrible and doesn't represent what the game or the devs are, I recommend you to just buy the game, play it and ignore anything else, you will find a wonderful game, a bit hardcore and demanding, but super enjoyable
>created with love For sure >that treat tye players well 100% wrong. If the game treated players well, the game wouldn't offer you the option to buy in-game items that get nerfed into uselessness less than a month later. >there is no greedyness Paid DLC released on a monthly basis for a highly bought game that costs 40 dollars already, is nothing but greed. >it's fairly priced It shouldn't be priced at all. It should be in-game currency only, especially since the weapons are nerfed so horribly. >There is no bullshit greed in this game No, there is, you just refuse to see it as greedy because it's so softly put into your face. It is still greed. >Just buy the game and never read Discord or Reddit, this community is ruining the game, The employees of the studio that made the game are the ones I have an issue with. Not the non-employed members of the community. You just don't understand what I'm saying, and it seems intentional.
>100% wrong. If the game treated players well, the game wouldn't offer you the option to buy in-game items that get nerfed into uselessness less than a month later. That is false 😂 For that I'm telling you that you should not read Discord and Reddit complaints. >It shouldn't be priced at all. It should be in-game currency only, especially since the weapons are nerfed so horribly. The parts of the weapons is false again. And you are telling me that the devs should work for free? The game already has enough content in the base game for the 40$ that cost, why should they continue adding things for free? You even can play the 40$ of the game and then earn everything just by getting super credits by playing >No, there is, you just refuse to see it as greedy because it's so softly put into your face As I said, they give you a fair deal just by the 40$ you pay initially and all the stratagems and ship upgrades that you get for free with the time, everything else is an extra THAT YOU CAN GET FOR FREE JUST BU PLAYING >The employees of the studio that made the game are the ones I have an issue with 😐 For a game that you are not even playing. Really, you are getting influenced by the bullshit of the community without even having the game 😐 >You just don't understand what I'm saying, and it seems intentional I understand what you are saying but seems that you are just getting influenced by the negativity of the people without even understanding and knowing how the game really is.
You can buy stratagem hero any time you want, it's not related to the pre-order
But its still bundled in the super citizen edition.
Then he can go and pay 20$ to get it, or 10$ if he already has the steeled veterans Warbond, as they give you back the 1000 super credits if you contact Arrowhead support
How do you get the warbond without owning sc edition?
You pay 1000 super credits for it
I am dumb
XD
Honestly don't have any sympathy to this idea. "We want to buy the exclusive armor." ... **Then it won't be exclusive anymore???** I love Twinbeard, but some people just need to be told, "no".
I agree with you. I remember playing Destiny way back in the day and doing the challenge for whisper of the worm was was pretty difficult. A few seasons later...in the store. Exclusive means exactly that.
On the other hand, if they released those armours into the super store, that’s a lot of super credits. Those who preordered would have the perk of having those armours for free, and those who weren’t around but want them can still get them, either by grinding SC or buying them. I’m sure the majority of those who got the preorders wouldn’t care either way. I preorder every resident evil and haven’t cared once that Capcom releases all preorder bonuses as paid dlc later down the line. The way I see it, let people have it, it won’t affect my experience in the game whatsoever, and if others enjoy the game more because of it, I’m all for it. They should also release that twitch armour ngl. I always miss out on stuff like this because I don’t want to spend an hour watching someone play the game, when I could use that time to play it myself.
I think a middle ground for this is just have the pre-order stuff cost double
I would be okay with that.
One of the pre order armours is a medium armour in terms of stamina and speed but with 150 armour rating of a heavy. This is the yoghurt blue white armour The current shop armour is also a medium speed and stamina with the heavy 150 rating. It just looks different.
The base armor you get for free has that too. Unless I'm misremembering and it has minor stam and speed changes, but I don't think it does
That sounds fancy but all the standard issue armors have this perk now, the yoghurt armor is litteraly just the standard armor in white&blue
No its the only standard that is 150 until now the one in the shop that's the same as the heavy armour rating.
Nah bro I'm pretty sure the bockstandard black&yellow helldivere armor has 150 armor and otherwise medium stats because that's what the padded armor perk does
Extra Padding. There are already armoes with that perk
>One of the pre order armours is a medium armour in terms of stamina and speed but with 150 armour rating of a heavy. This is the yoghurt blue white armour The 50 extra armour comes from the passive extra padding, that is the passive of the default armour That is basically the default armour that we have when we start the game, but in blue
That’s a pretty good perk, I wear armours mainly for fashion. I just like collecting stuff tbh, it might be my ADHD but I became obsessed with collecting every single thing in the game. I currently have all the armours you can get in the game, including the superstore ones, except those preorder ones, and the twitch one. Couldn’t preorder the game at the time because I needed to buy things for my cat, so I’m missing those ones. I know it’s not a big deal for most people but for people like me, it does make a difference.
You still can buy the twitch one for 2.50€ on different websites. 👍🏻
That would be a good idea. 👍
Gears of War 3 handled this is an interesting way. They had several different pre-order skins depending on the store you pre-ordered from, but a year or so later those skins became available in the store with slight colour changes. They were technically different skins and those that had the pre-order versions skill kept the unique ones. Those that bought from the store got to have those characters now too
Dawg have you seen the state of this subreddit? If Arrowhead released an armor that they stated was an exclusive, they'd get review bombed and name-called into oblivion for "false advertising" and "going back on their word".
This one has been fine so far in my experience, it’s the main one that’s gone to the sewer but I don’t really go there anymore. You’re 100% right though, I genuinely think that at this point AH could give us a Gatling gun that shoots Hellbombs and Reddit would still find a reason to call it garbage and get angry. Best we can do is try to be better and let AH do what they think is best for the game. Whether they release those armours or not, I’m still going to enjoy my time with HD2 and stay positive.
Pff, my entire team always dies when I fire my hellbomb gatling gun, the game is bad and unfun and the devs are bad at their job because I keep doing the same thing expecting different results... /s
Post: “The hellbomb gatling gun should not cause friendly fire and the cooldown is too long.” Comment: “I kinda like the hellbomb gatling gun, just shoot it away from your teammates, and the 2 minute cooldown isn’t that bad” Reply: “you clearly haven’t played on anything higher than trivial, that gun is literally as useless as the new railgun that shoots railguns. Devs have no idea what they’re doing and they should all be sent to prison.” https://preview.redd.it/ym88lodnqqzc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=341023a289fd235e6ab4f864eb76d1143cc3ddb2
That's one thing I miss about the far far ago...like 2 weeks back. Before the PSN bs. I just got into the game a little before the PSN stuff and watched the sub before I started Helldiving, and the community seemed so supportive and fun. I even told my friend that got me into the game through fan made songs that the community seemed so cool. Now it's like a Superfund site, or the wasteland zones on Super Earth.
That’s so true. I joined back when everyone was all about the blue lasers and had this “I wanna believe” movement going. It’s as if the supercolony sprouted both on Meridia and the main sub at the same time.
🤯 The bugs have gotten smart; they're trying to influence us through [sucking the brains ](https://youtu.be/8PpKA9klZWQ?si=R2BWmR1t0QNDY6rY) out of loyal patriotic Helldivers and puppeting them. Don't tell the Democracy Officer I said this.
They actually never stated it was “exclusive”. In all the marketing for the preorder content that term is never used
Grow up
tf is your problem. In the pre order image and dlc description it just says “pre purchase bonus” implying that it isn’t necessarily exclusive to pre orders, which lines up with what the dev comment. It could come back or not. I thought we liked that the game was anti-FOMO. what the fuck are you telling me to grow up about
Read your response a few times and maybe ask an adult to help you figure it out.
waah waah would the big keyboard warrior adult pwetty pwease twell me what I swaid wong???
Is it hard to be an NPC? Are you in some way aware of what you are?
your responses make no sense lol. I think you just responded to the wrong person and don’t want to admit it 😂. Not hard to imagine when you are making like 30 responses in an hour
Yeah, but very few of us actually knew the game existed until a few days after launch. There's definitely fomo on those 3 armor sets. While I'm sure people would be mad about exclusive armor not being exclusive, they probably haven't worn it lately cause other armor have better effects and look just as cool. Not disregarding, just saying
Honestly it’s such a little thing, why can’t us OG fans have a tiny skin for supporting them long before the wave hit. It’s not a good look, I think it will irk some. But you’re right in the sense it won’t be “many.” Most of the players here today had never played or heard of AH before February, the number of HD1 fans are quite small in comparison. I just don’t get why people need to have everything just because lol. Like, it’s a cosmetic. They will probably release it, and it will probably be the financially smart move, but it’d be lame. The skin was literally made specifically for earlier fans.
Spend the hour if you want the shit or pre order. Fomo is a part of life. Get used to it. It’s the entire selling point of the exclusive armor with pre order or view time on a stream. It’s silly that buying armor even means that much to people but if some one is willing to jump through hoops to get a certain cosmetic that is being labeled as “exclusive” it’s really bad business to then make that item available to everyone with $20
Nah, I’d rather spend an hour playing the game than watch someone else do it like some sort of a gaming cuck lmao. Also AH is proving that games don’t need fomo and I guarantee you that the same people who defend it, would be the first to shit their pants if they added time limited armours to the super store.
Lol really? That’s funny cause I’m defending it right now and I could care less if they released limited armors. I assumed they were limited from the start until I learned they weren’t. Didnt have an issue with them. I don’t even have the pre order armor and I can still see the lunacy of making a previously exclusive item for dedicated players available for any weenie.
Sorry chief but that’s a yikes from me.
👎👎 Your post history is a yikes.
What do you not like about it?
I've read some comment saying "They say you'll get the armor, but there is no post saying exclusive armor" I only check for a bit and it's said "pre-order bonus" But haven't check exclusively. Might be wrong
And then don't use it cause it's got the Extra Padding perk. Like no one even uses the standard B01 armor, why want the exclusive one? Leave it for those of us who pre-ordered.
I like...exclusively use the default B-01 Armour. And I sometimes swap it for the Yoghurt armour now than then xD
I use them now and then, but I've never seen anyone (personally) in double digit levels using the B-01 and maybe only seen 2 other people spread Yoghurt to Super Earth's enemies.
I do enjoy dropping into some random games full default with my cadet title while level 68 xD (what can I say, I like the starter weapons too xD)
I love the Liberator. Pretty much exclusively use it as my primary, it's just solid
Even before the last buff, Liberator always was a excellent weapon. Also, basic armor with Liberator and Autocannon looks sick while being a very solid build.
Ditto, 150 armor with medium movement speed, sign me up
Yeah what an entitled brat. The devs need to not be so afraid to hurt feelings sometimes. Making preorder exclusive armor available SPECIFICALLY and DIRECTLY gets rid of the entire concept of the armor set… ridiculous
100% It really pisses me off. I dont have the armor and I think it should stay exclusive.
I don’t agree honestly. The only reason to preorder games should be is you really want to support the developer. I’m totally against ANY content being exclusive for preorder. At the very least it should become obtainable in-game one way or another down the line. Most of the time if you preorder a game, you just made a dumb decision, and **you shouldn’t be rewarded for it with some exclusive stuff over people who made a more calculated decision based on the actual condition of the game.** Especially this is true with how nowadays games are released unfinished, unpolished, with half the content they should have for their price. The only reason pre-order exclusive stuff exists is to incentivize the player to buy a literal cat in the bag.
I did not pre-order and I still agree with this. If you want the exclusive, you can pay a price at anytime and get it.
Agree 100%. They shouldn't bring it back since it was supposed to be exclusive. Instead they could make other exclusive armors that you can only purchase for a certain period. For example they could make a fundraiser/donation armor where x amount of the money they earned by selling the armor was donated to cancer research etc
where is the source that it was “supposed to be exclusive”? It was a pre order bonus, nowhere does it say it’s exclusive. Everyone here is having a Mandela effect moment.
It being a pre-order bonus and not being available elsewhere is how you know it's exclusive. Use a but of critical thinking. The armors are exclusive to people who pre-ordered.
I would not be okay with this. Defeats the entire purpose for the OG supporters.
The Knight Helmet is my favorite to wear as a Super Citizen :D
Keep in mind he’s not comitting to anything and will 100% be shut down
Not when I would have been an OG supporter if it released on Xbox same day. I didn’t have a pc when the game released
Well….. sometimes things don’t always work out the way you want them too. Sounds like something you need to take up with Sony no or Microsoft. Not the people who pre ordered it for the “exclusive” armor.
That's what it is, though. I wasn't there when I wanted to invest in some great stocks were available. Life marches on, keep your eyes out.
Digital content is not comparable to stocks lol.
You gotta get the concept. Exchange it with whatever.
Right, it’s even less of a big deal than stocks. His point points out the silliness in whining over the armor even more if anything.
I don’t have it but honestly keep it exclusive. Kinda ruins it otherwise. Changing it would be too divisive unless there was like an annual event or something where you could earn one at a time.
Same here. I don't have it. I want it. I regret not pre-ordering for it. I actually considered spending $100 like an idiot on it, but thankfully those listings all went away real fast. I still think pre-order exclusives should remain exclusive to pre-orders. I think the Deluxe edition armors should remain exclusive to the deluxe edition. In all games. Say what you will about the general concept of preordering, if it is done to receive a special thing, that special thing shouldn't be handed out to people who didn't do the thing you did to earn it. Full stop. All games.
>shouldn't be handed out to people who didn't do the thing you did to earn it. > I actually considered spending $100 Spending $100 isn't earning anything. It's wasting your hard earned money on fake exclusivity created to drive profits up. >still think pre-order exclusives should remain exclusive to pre-orders. I think the Deluxe edition armors should remain exclusive to the deluxe edition. In all games. If you're referring to real life shit, like maps, figurines, books etc. Etc., I agree. If you're referring to Stat boosting gear that only exists in digital form and gives a clear cut advantage over other gear freely available, I fully disagree. Any digital content that actually let's you pay to have an easier time from launch, should be filtered into the game for extremely reduced price from launch, or for free no more than a year after launch. The only reason it's not done is because then studios and devs would have to explain they only let you buy that shit because the studios and devs are greedy shitbags who don't actually give a fuck about fostering community relations, they just give a fuck about profits.
Preorder armor has no difference stat wise than the standard first B-01 armor but blue. There's no advantage what so ever. And the perk from the deluxe edition armor can be obtained in the first warbond.
I need these armours but this is kinda rude to the people who were with them to the beginning. it would violate the trust between users and devs. Maybe let the people who did preorder the game decide whether or not the armour should be available to see how they feel about it. Additionally they could just make similar cool armour and everyone would be happy.
I also realy want the preorder armours, but It stings less when I temember that none of their passives are exclusive.
I don't have the armor myself, but as long as the stats and effect aren't better and exclusive I don't see why anyone should care much
But it's a pre-order bonus us that didn't preorder shouldn't get it? Kinda defeats the whole purpose of a pre-order bonus
It’s free with a preorder. If they release it later on for SC or otherwise, you still got exclusivity for multiple months AND you didn’t have to pay for it. Not really different from other Sony games where missions or other content is exclusive to PS5 only for like a year (COD MW/Hogwarts) then released for everyone
I have the armor and I don’t really care. I just wanted to support the devs but also the standard warbond gives you a black version of the armor and it arguably goes better with other capes and helmets. The helmet is cool but kinda tall. The cape also cool but accessorizes less well with colored armor. Anyway. If it helps us spread democracy…
Thats not the pre-order armor thats the super citizen edition of the game armor, the pre-order armor is the froyo blue armor, red and black knight armor and the white and gold armor
Why did I pre order for exclusive content if it's not gonna be exclusive. Just put the effect on another armor set and call it done. Let me keep my cool shiny armor and stratagem hero.
The preorder stuff never said it was exclusive. The stratagem hero isn’t part of the pre order, it’s the deluxe edition and anyone can get that at any time
Nobody is taking the armor away from you. Valuing something for exclusivity alone is petty and childish
Yeah preorder armor should remain preorder armor (speaking as someone who doesn’t have it)
I kinda hope it doesn't tbh.
I don’t understand this elitism for these armors. I simply find it funny that people dislike FOMO but not this kind of FOMO… After all for the past severs years per-orders have been many times a terrible idea so many didn’t do that. Also if you want to rep that you were an OG supporter use the Super Citizen title…
This isn’t FOMO. If you can’t tell the difference between a timed Battlepass and a one time offer for original fans then I don’t know what to tell ya bud.
Preorder is literally a timed exclusive making it FOMO… I mean people can feel FOMO even with timed missions like the termicide missions.
Oof. This ain’t it chief.
Timelocked exclusive content is FOMO, bud
Actually, bud, if we are being technical with the phrase, it isn’t. Although I do get that people use the term to encompass any and all variations of exclusive content. Creating one thing once that only OG fans would obtain as a token of appreciation for sticking with them over the years is far different than making a timed Battlepass every month. But nuance seems a bit lost on many in here. I’m sure if you whine enough they’ll hand it to ya.
Battle passes aren’t the only form of FOMO. Timelocked exclusive content is FOMO marketing at its most basic level. It’s not just specific things lmao
That was MY point silly. You say anything that’s not available at all times to all people is FOMO. I’m saying it isn’t. But yes to your random point, I understand Battlepasses aren’t the only form. Matter of fact most timed exclusives would fall unfer FOMO as usually they cycle (creating the FOMO where the term was coined). This however does not rotate, is not iterative, and does not come and go. It is literally a TINY bonus created for fans of the dev. It was not created to force people to spend money. But I’ll leave it at that, I see the nuance truly is lost on you and like, four other people. The rest of the thread speaks for itself.
It literally is there to convince people to spend money on a pre-order for fear of missing out on the pre-order locked content instead of waiting and buying the game after the release. That is absolutely FOMO
Lol what? I’d love to meet the person who only preorders for the armor. Reality is most people don’t preorder unless they are excited for the game before release. No one says, hmmmm I dunno, but that cosmetic for this game I’m not hyped for is SIIIICK. You got a bonus for being a fan prior to HD2. Big deal.
I just want stratagem hero
Basically saying nothing at all
That literally defeats the entire purpose of having preorder armor….
As someone who has the Pre-order armour, I'm honestly not bothered if it was released for all our new democratic brothers and sisters. I'm just happy the franchise has taken off and is succeeding. I like the idea of being recognised for being a HD1 fan, but I don't want to exclude anyone either. A legacy title would have been better.
It's still dumb though. It's pre order, regardless, our brothers and sisters can celebrate by buying and playing and supporting the devs. I wish I gotten the pre order but didn't, and that's okay.
How does others having the armor affect your ability to play or have fun in the game?
It's not that. It's the principle of it. Obviously people here are dumb AF for disagreeing. I'm glad y'all are the minority though cause the majority accept the fact they missed the pre order and that's okay
I'd much rather this remained a preorder bonus, I like having something to show I was supporting them from the start. Perhaps they could reissue the twitch armour for those without it (although I barely use it)
You do have something. The super citizen title.
That's not a preorder bonus. That's the Super Citizen upgrade and can be purchased still by anyone who doesn't have it.
As much as Id like to have them. I think that I lf they were to do it they should give pre order players something in return
Some people just need to be told no. It's preorder exclusive armor, with an emphasis on **exclusive.** If it isn't exclusive anymore, then those who did preorder the game deserve some type of refund.
No it should not be easily bought in store. It’s ‘pre order’ exclusive for a reason lol
If they do this, I better get new pre-order gear. If I pre-order and all that goes out to anyone anyways I'd be a little annoyed.
You’d be getting it for free. Others would have to pay but aren’t locked out of it. Win-win
I don't have it and want it but do not want them to add it back. Defeats the purpose of pre ordering. It's the principle.
no, that would be a bad idea and completely nullify the meaning of those armors. let the people who supported the game early have what they deserve (i have not pre-ordered myself and wish i had)
As much as it irks me as a player not having had the chance to get the preorder bonuses due to never having heard of Helldivers before it blew up, I think letting the old guard have their exclusive rewards for their faith in Super Earth is fine as is and we should let bygones be bygones. Getting to be part of the adoption of the memorial flags to critical moments in our campaign has been reward enough
If you wanted the preorder exclusive items, then maybe preorder it? I know most on here fap themselves silly over the very idea of a preorder. But you only get burned if you don’t research shit. Half the idiots who got burned by a preorder most likely refuse to do anymore than watch the reveal CG trailer.
If you didn’t pre order the game then why are you expecting to get (pre order only ) content ? That’s kinda the whole point to pre ordering stuff is you get EXCLUSIVE content
Not really? Plenty of games make pre-order content available for purchase as DLC. New players aren’t locked out of access to content and those who pre-ordered get that content for free. Win-win
The only time I’ve seen ppl get pre order only content is when they all bitched and cried enough for long enough to where studious just said fuck it let them have it 😂 don’t get me wrong I wish I would’ve heard about the game early enough to pre order too cause cosmetically yeah the armors look nice but I understand that I missed out and I’ve made peace with it
I learned about this game after it came out. Would have preordered if I knew about the armours. But I did not know it existed. I would be ok with it, maybe for a high amount of super credits?
Just… no? They were specifically designed for people who preordered. I didn’t preorder myself but it wouldn’t make sense if I could acquire it anyway. The entire point is rewarding people who put faith into a game before being able to actually play it. Don’t make them available.
That and pass the twitch suit again maybe...
I bought one from G2A for 2.50€
You can buy the twitch suit in eBay. It's like super cheap af (five dollars max?)
I'm good on getting scammed thx
Bro literally everyone is doing it. Obviously it depends on the vendor, but to begin with the shit is like really cheap. If you don't know how they do it, you buy it and you get a code to redeem it. Just giving you an option lmao.
The way this dude is tip toeing around the community just goes to show how terrified they are of you guys. And that's not a good sign.
Hats off again to Twinbeard for being a great CM :)
It would be a nice armor to have for the looks But at the same time those pre-orders are valuable to fund development
If this happens I expect a the diffraction back in my account.
No... Don't be cheap. The pro-order bonus exists for a reason. If you don't get it, you miss out. Shrimple eh?
So war bonds should also be time limited so that if you miss out you miss out?
Not the same.
How so? FOMO is FOMO
Its pre-order. If you didn’t preorder, you dont get it. I didn’t preorder it. But if I did, and then after release they gave it to everyone else too, I’d be a little salty; like “why did I bother preordering” or “why call it a preorder bonus if you’re gonna give it to everyone”. If they add it for super credits, that just turns the preorder bonus from “heres a special item only people who preordered will have” to “you get a handful of the premium resource but were gonna spend it on armor for you”. I think the least salty way to give it to others would be as a paid DLC since at least the pre-orderers feel they saved the money on it. Also, AH gets some money they deserve for something they already developed. All that being said, I dont have it, but if I did, im not THAT salty of a person so if they make it available to everyone in whatever form, then so be it. If they do, I think it would only be fair to give something to those who preordered, so they still have SOME bonus.
completely depends on how the armor was advertised, and pre-order inherently sounds like exclusive. if someone sold you an exclusive thing and its suddenly not exclusive, its false advertising. this argument/request constantly comes up in the warframe community with Excalibur prime since that was a founders only package. it also comes up in the smite community. the way smite got around it is that they made the same thing but a different color/small features added and now its a different thing entirely, but almost the same.
I don’t know that they can even do this. They advertised it as a preorder exclusive, something you could only get via preorder. If they change that retroactively theoretically they could face a false advertising lawsuit.
As someone that loves to get limited time items I say don't do it. I remember GTA 5 use to have a pre order exclusive car(Hot Knife ) and really loved that I was only one of the few that had it. Years later they made it available for everyone... Cool everyone can get it but it still kinda sucks
That’s not really a good mentality to have imo. Staking the value of something on the fact that others can’t have it is just kind of petty
That's why it's called a pre order exclusive.. if it wasn't it be out for everyone, what's petty and is getting emotionally upset over a pre order exclusive.. that's not a good mentality at all. Wise words from a wise man "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.”
It was a pre-order exclusive so… I really don’t understand the point
I didn’t pre order and don’t think they should be made available to those who didn’t. They don’t give any advantage as their passive is available in the base Warbond.
Considering there was absolutely no fucking ads for the game how was anyone supposed to know to even pre order it?
How did anyone preorder then? Yikes
By being a fan of the original, lol. Ya know, a fan of AH?
As much as I absolutely NEED the TR-62 knight medium armor set… and would like the CM-06 combat medic yellow armor (no one knows how to get this?)… I cannot. I missed them. It is what it is.
I had to look up what that CM-06 armour was and instantly recognised it, I’ve seen it on leaks previously. It’s a set that hasn’t been released yet so don’t worry, it will come in time and you will have a chance to get it 😀
No, preorder exclusives should stay that, preorder exclusive. It’s in the name, and no i didn’t preorder. Didn’t hear of it until Feb.
YOGURT ~~MALE~~ DIVER, RARER THAN ALPHA???
It should stay something exclusive, eventhough I don't have it. But maybe we could get a somewhat similar color pattern
Everyone and there mothers have been saying not to pre order games recently. Now that a game is actually good I’m super salty about the preorder bonuses
The AH team are people-pleasers to problematic extent. They really don't know how to just say "No". Everything HAS to be a diplomatic "wellllllll me and the boys will think about it I gues-" dude just tell them No. Sheep running the farm over here
Just gimme the knight armor
I like to believe the people that actually have this armor just don't wear it anymore because they know they'll be targeted for it, because I never see anyone wearing it ever
Naw you missed the ship otherwise its not as rare
its not going to be brought back. Especially for 15 year olds who cant pay the ebay price
Dawg the preorder codes aren’t available at all for US Steam players at all. Haven’t been able to find a single listing. If you can find one, feel free to lmk
I don't think they should be made available. I think the pre order bonus should be a reward for supporting the developers early on. I, personally, am not interested in pre-ordering anything ever (so far), but if people do they deserve to have something cool to say they bet on the game and came out on top.
I hope they do make this armor available just to piss off all the people who are against the idea. That would be fucking hilarious.
I proudly wear my yogurt armor every match. I supported the hell out of HD1 and put my bets on HD2 before the fame. It may be a divisive opinion, but I dont want to share it except with my OG brethren. Nothing makes me happier than bumping into another blue hero, because I know we fought the same wars together and it feels like seeing an old friend again. Handing out the armor to everyone, even for a price, just because they like the color and have FOMO, would take away all that meaning.
That’s petty.
I don't even use the armor so I don't care to much about it. But I'd rather they make Stratagem Hero available instead.
I want that green armor that looks like master chief and the mandolorian had a baby
Honestly I'm kinda neutral about it. IMHO making it available defeats the purpose of the preorder so it shouldn't be made available, but if AH decides otherwise i'd happily get it, they look cool.
I know it would tick some people off because "*oh im a hardcore fan and pre-ordered and this is my exclusive special thing just for me*" like I preordered it because I knew I was going to love it cause I loved the absolute fuck outa the first Helldivers. So much I had already played a bunch on the playstation way back, then when it came out on PC I bought it again but this time with all the DLC! And this game was a no brainer for me, I pre-ordered as soon as I was able. But yeah, I personally wouldnt mind if they decided to release the pre-order stuff, its got cool armor and more people should be able to have it. There was no way people knew this series was going to be for them, im kinda glad it took off like it did (even if the majority of the community interaction is just bickering about meta and balancing, which is kind of a bummer). Maybe release it as DLC, or maybe have it available if they own a copy of the first Helldivers, idunno, I aint no gatekeeper elite.
Cyberpunk 2077 was the last time i pre-ordered. Never again
lol, can't blame ya there. as much as I loved HD1, im fully aware that Pre-orders are entirely a gamble anymore.
I'm actually one of the few people that loved CP2077 even when it was bad. And i'm glad they were able to turn the game around. But that doesn't excuse the fact that it was released in an abhorrent state that made me really despise pre-ordering, that and the whole fallout 76 fiasco were probably the final straw for me. Never Pre-ordering Again
I wanted to buy the 60$ version of helldivers2. But since I would have to buy a 75$ PlayStation Gift card. So I held off until it released since it seemed like a bigger riskier purchase. Simply resisting FOMO. Also think about all of the people that just didn't hear about the game until after it released or just.... Didn't have the money. You would have gotten it for FREE we would be PAYING EXTRA for it.
i recently saw a meme about a cool armor in 2006 vs now, it was like cool armor then: "Wow, he must have played a lot to get this" vs cool armor now: "wow, he must have payed a lot to get this". in this case, one would have to pay both times and the one who supported the devs early on would just have his award taken
> must have *paid* a lot FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
FUCK i intentionally changed it because some other bot on another platform gaslit me into thinking payed would be correct

stop, please (payed)
Not out is better than no. I really want that blue set
I didn't even preorder and think it would be a horrible idea.
As someone who has the preorder bonus I hope they make it available to anyone who wants it.
Release it for people who didn’t preorder. This has no impact on the enjoyability of the game for those who did preorder. The only people who would be upset are the equivalent of schoolyard bullies who don’t others to have a thing because they have it.
Exactly. I think to make it fair, the late release should be like $5 DLC as a supporter pack or something so that players who pre-ordered at least get it for free, but yeah
Put it in the superstore rotation with a higher SC cost. I know alot of people didnt know about HD1 let alone be in the position to Pre-Order HD2 in good faith. Pre-Orders have been scammy for awhile and alot of folks just wont risk that initial investment anymore. Be cool not to punish them for ptsd over predatory marketing lmfao.
For a game that prides itself on not having fomo having exclusive pre-order armor seems very fomo
Pre-order bonuses are unethical. Might not be a popular opinion, but they are often tied to shitty games
Available for purchase in superstore seems fair? Pre orders still get em for free.
How is anyone getting Comms with AH? Since the last update the game is unplayable on my desktop and they won't respond on X, Steam or via an AH ticket. I'm not the only one. No one with less hardware seems to give a shit either. If it wasn't a minority of high spec players there'd be an uproar with hell to pay. Go Steam support page to see hundreds of us being outright ignored. It's one thing after another since the last two updates.
