My Helldivers gripe is that the war bonds cost too much for the casual player. 1000 super credits takes a while to gather, and even grind. Paying actual money for them is about $25aud per war bond. I think there's eight war bonds now? That's a full day's income, and you still need to collect medals to unlock the contents of the warbond.
Edit: You all don't need to explain this to me, I'm aware of the options for getting super credits. None of that changes how I feel about the game and that I'm losing interest because of it.
1000 super credits are easily farmed just by doing missions. Do low level missions, race to the poi's with the car, rinse repeat.
Fun? No. But you said farming so this is it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
By just playing the game for little over a week, so no farming, just playing, i've gathered 700 sc.
The medals are easily gathered doing level 5 and up missions and completing your personal orders. And taking part in the majors of course.
All that stuff is great if you've the time. I've got maybe 1-2 hours a week for the game.
If you don't have the time to read a book,watch a movie or play a game you should not start it.
I'm over 50, like you only have a few hours, i have a tremendous backlog of games i just have to play and a family to provide for. (mechwarrior clans is the first one which comes to mind but i have dozens)
But i came back for this event. You miss nothing. Every weapon you can "buy" does not really alter the game or changes anything. The standard liberator is still one of the very best primaries.
