Interestingly, around 2.5M played weekly before the event, so only a gain of ~900k players. I’d be curious if the number of missions per player changed at all.
Man you're saying only 900,000 like that isn't a massive increase in active player.
That’s fair, 900k is still a giant jump, almost 50%, I was more impressed that it hits 2.5M on a normal week, it doesn’t feel like that sometimes to be honest
Was glad to see my brothers from Malevalon Creek return to the fight. Even if just for a week
I definitely played into this metric. I hadn't played for a while, but when I heard Super Earth was under attack, I knew that I had to protect managed democracy.
Thank you for doing your part, citizen. o7
Every helldiver spilling blood/oil/E-710 precursors is another beacon of the will of Managed Democracy.
I sure as shit wasn't one of them after being bullied off the game entirely by Squid Divers.
How did they bully you?
I prefer playing with people and I don't have friends who play it consistently. Every lobby I joined, or tried to run, had at least one person join in and frag us all repeatedly while screaming that we should be fighting for Super Earth. If they weren't fragging they would join and just start yelling about it until whoever the host was kicked them. After 3 days straight of that and not a single game where that didn't occur, I uninstalled the game entirely and let it play out. It was utterly impossible for me to find a game that wasn't being made as toxic as humanly possible by people who just hated any BugDiver who didn't find Super Earth maps, or Illuminate gameplay, to be remotely enjoyable.
Ever since I found a helldivers focused discord I don't really play with randos. Also if those losers had been playing illluminate instead of harassing people maybe we would have gotten that MO.
