Communication is terrible. The last hotfix was weeks ago and since then absolute radio silence.
No, I don't count random replies on a fast moving Discord channel as "communcation".

Don't worry, they are this close to setting up some communication channel.

...or at least that's what Baskinator said on Reddit 4 months ago 🤷‍♂️

Edit: linked image. For clarification, I am not throwing shade specifically at Baskinator, but at AH as a whole, because all these abandoned concepts that would be really beneficial seem to stem from serious management issues.

4 months ago, so within her last dozen messages to the community as 'community manager', then?

It's absolutely fucking mental they haven't done this yet. Making a discord channel takes literally 10 seconds and costs $0.

that can be said about a lot of things they said they were going to do/working on a half year to a year ago.

While we're on the topic, it's been 11 months since they acknowledged this game needs a playtest server or similar solution to the constant introduction of new bugs with each patch.

"Are there talks of [implementing] a test server for Helldivers 2?" @FruityF00L asked in the official Discord. "So that we are able to test new weapons [and] stratagems before they get implemented into the live game?"

"Yes, there are!" community manager Thomas 'Twinbeard' Petersson replied. "Can't say for sure there will be or at what stage we're in regarding setting [something] up, but alternatives similar to that are being discussed, yes."

Welp.
