True citizens log out once they're done so other citizens can do their part too.

This game is attracting both the halo and warhammer 40k fandoms so I guess it’s expected that the servers are full

[theantshop]

Also as someone who’s been active on the subreddit, the dev has actually been super receptive and actively communicating in the community.

It’s really refreshing to see a dev who really actively cares about the player base and seems really down to earth. They’re working really hard on the patches and they have a lot of credibility atm from everyone dispite the frustration

[mr.whimsic]

I can't imagine many youtubers covering this would do research on software engineering to understand the issue better, so good job for that!

[lordfabulous]

That 15 minute afk time out is amazing. Since then, I've been getting in the game every time. It fixed the wait time completely.

One thing that I appreciate is the CEO of Arrowhead outright telling people “don’t buy our game until we can fix the server issues.” I remember him saying “I would be heartbroken if you spent $40 on a game you couldn’t even play”. Mad respect to the guy

[MediaDroid]

They fix these issues, and they’ll be set for life

[Sonichero]

The thing I'm most impressed about is that you did some research to learn the ins and outs of online multiplayer servers and actually learned some things. That's great

2 things

If your planning on playing with friends on the same platform only 1 ofbyou need to get in, joining on them through either steam or the PS5 menus will bypass the queuing system

Also Ive been pretty consistently getting into the game ever since the most recent update

The only reliable source of information these days

In 2023, the devs also had roughly 100 employees. So needless to say, there's a lot of job openings to combat server issues like Palworld does.

It's fun to see Spatnz make the occasional game review

[GravitasZero]

I played the first helldivers and loved it… never would have even imagined helldivers 2 would be this successful this quickly.
When i mentioned that Helldivers 2 was in the works to some gaming buddies… none knew about that game (or the first one).
Yeah, the devs having server issues right now is not a surprise to me.

[Hezy]

Arrowhead is a really small studio so I think it’s just good to see them get some love.

[TheTraveler]

"DJ Khaled. Suffering from success."

[Patty-Kun]

The automatons and terminids had to nerf the game somehow, otherwise there would be half a million players wiping them off the map.

[Max_Ivanov_Pro]

The struggle of success, a tale as old as time. But for Super Earth, we shall persevere!

[TheUSgoverment]

I think it just goes to show, we all have a collective undying need to make bugs eat our "made in god's image" asses

[ArtyKibbles]

This is literally the suffering from success meme

[oVerdrive-ptuk]

If helldivers 2 was called "to hell a diver 2" spatnz would give it 10 out of 10 instead of 9.88 out of 10
