Dude, I don't comment much but this CEO is really working on killing it with addressing community feedback. Nice to see a CEO just listen and acknowledge the issues.

[mthequietbass]

Turns out the guy in charge of weapon balancing is the same guy who ruined Hello Neighbor 2 before running away from that.
All the nerfs/under-powered weapons make so much more sense with that in mind

[Gdboys]

This warbond needs buffs all around. The new pistol medium penitration

[mikewar]

"Things are looking bleak with the major order, " he said while fighting bots.

[buttersticks]

Here's some nifty ideas I've collected from the comments below, all of which I think would be very cool and interesting to add into the game to help better the player's motivation for playing.
1- Add weapon skins to warbonds! More cool cosmetics to grind for/buy if you wish :)
2- We desperately need an emote wheel of some kind, rather than just one emote that we have to switch out between matches.
3- Add a currency exhange feature. Even if it's a really high exchange rate, being able to swap out medals, samples, and requisition slips would be really helpful for those moments when you're a few samples or medals away from unlocking that new feature.
4- GET ALEXUS OFF OF THE BALANCING TEAM!! he ruined Hello Neighbor 2 and then fucked off before release, and if you want to prevent him doing the same to Helldivers, we need to either have him fired or put him in his place. He has a streak of never listening to players and acting spitefully. Dude has a massive ego. Helldivers, we have a new Major Order from General Brasch: Get Alexus Out of Here.

I want the old slugger back. They said the problem was that people were using it like a sniper rifle. The answer should have been to buff the sniper rifles, instead of more nerfs

[tunakann]

I'm still in absolute shock that they nerfed the crossbow TWICE with a total of five people who ever use it

[OddBear]

The Tenderizer should be a heavy burst weapon like the battle rifle from Halo. Thatd make it way more niche and fun instead of being another weak full auto assault rifle

[RoguesAndRoses]

I truly feel like everything good just gets hit with nerfs and that's "balancing"
I mean it's PVE. If it's gonna take me a whole ass mag with this new energy/plasma weapon to take down a Devastator and I only got 6 mags in it, what am I even' doin'?

[mikebiff]

how much control does the CEO have over the balancing team?

there is a lot of dissatisfaction because The Alexus guy "Bringer of Balance" destroyed the game Hello Neighbour 2 by removing key features and then bailed before the release. Had I known he was in charge of balance I would have waited to purchase HD2. He is a real problem to Arrowhead's credibility and reputation. Just google what he did to the game Hello Neighbor 2 and you'll see why this is a problem.

I had no idea it was the same guy until yesterday. The game is absolutely doomed with this person in charge of balancing who has a notorious reputation for not listening to the players and consistently making unwanted and unnecessary changes until the community evaporates. Helldivers, don't let them do it to this game too.

New Major Order: Acquire new balance officers.

[EskChan]

Another comment on Twitter he responded too that I found funny was a guy saying that if Arrowhead was a car mechanic and you came to them with a flat tire, they would just flatten the other 3 so the flat tire wouldn't stick out anymore. To which the CEO responded with "That's fair"

[Tokeshiro]

no one in the balance team heard of survivorship bias. Instead of nerfing the things that work and are fun they need to buff the things that arent.

[spartaninvirginia]

The "balancing" has been absolutely baffling.

[KaryonTheirStory]

Who else was hoping for new armor perks

[prebenkul]

If they don't start changing how they balance weapons pretty soon, i think their player numbers drops. It's just not enjoyable if every weapon feels the same and not fun. And whenever it is fun, they always find a way to make it unfun like the rest

[williamebel]

The worst part is that the weapons are strong as a cotton balls.

[buttersticks]

I hope they either fire Alexus (the guy in charge of balancing changes) or put him in his place. He absolutely decimated Hello Neighbor 2 with all his balancing changes and if we don't act on it he'll do the same to our favorite democratic nation.

[kogaju]

Looks like the honeymoon phase is over for Helldivers 2 and the damage control has started. We really cant have shit

[shawnk]

Watching you try and kill that devastator with the purifier was painful.

[reclaw]

Formula for primary weapons.
All primarys should:

1. Be good at killing light enemies
2. Be okay at killing medium enemies, if you play your cards right
3. Be bad for killing heavy enemies.

If they could make all weapons fall into this formula, with maybe a few outliers for interesting playstyles, they'd be set.
