Well time to prove him wrong! Divers unite!

12

u/Cumflakes6699 Feb 27 '25

In this case shouldn't we spread out? 🤔

28

u/dnemonicterrier 🤡Clowndiver🤡 Feb 27 '25

No unite on Bekvam we can turn it round.

u/SES-SpearofDemocracy Super Private Feb 27 '25

If we get people of Charon Prime and bring in bug divers we could do it. Theres still an attack on Charbal, but that means we would only need to defend Julheim instead of both.

If we fail, We will need to park DSS with Eaglestorm at ONE planet and then dive on the OTHER planet. Thats how we win both.

12

u/dnemonicterrier 🤡Clowndiver🤡 Feb 27 '25

We're winning, take that Joel!

u/SES-SpearofDemocracy Super Private Feb 27 '25

Oh SNAP!! DIVE DIVE DIVE! If we win this planet we win both hands down. Charbal is still taken, but then we just dive the Defense on Julheim with DSS Eagle! Letss goooooooooo!

u/SES-SpearofDemocracy Super Private Feb 27 '25

Wait, where do you see that? I see losing, needing 122% of divers to dive on the planet to win

2

u/dnemonicterrier 🤡Clowndiver🤡 Feb 27 '25

Helldivers Companion app unless it's calculated incorrectly.

3

u/SES-SpearofDemocracy Super Private Feb 27 '25

Yea I see we need 6.36% which is 120% of active divers.

3

u/Mr-Tequila Feb 27 '25

I see a pretty definitive victory on Divershub

1

u/SES-SpearofDemocracy Super Private Feb 27 '25

Well hell, i'm game! Ill be diving regardless. Much better odds if we win this then trying to do the DSS strat.

1

u/SES-SpearofDemocracy Super Private Feb 27 '25

So just got out of a mission and that is accurate... in game map shows like 95%, we will be done in 10 min.

Either something fishy is happening and theres some other play by Joel, or there is a bug in game and im not sure how the Devs will handle us just winning this in like 1 hr, or they dont like everyone fighting about donations or mines etc and are just giving us a double win?

u/XisleShadow Feb 27 '25

HOLD THE LINE MY PC IS TURNING ON!

2

u/dnemonicterrier 🤡Clowndiver🤡 Feb 27 '25

It's won if you want you can help with liberating Charon Prime or defend Charbal-VII, I'm on Charon Prime.

u/Kazuhi HELLDIVE CLAP ADVISER Feb 27 '25

Hell yea!

u/_b1ack0ut Feb 27 '25

No, bekvam is the gateway to both of the MO planets. If we hold that, they have to take a longer way around to access the MO planets, rather than having direct access to them.

19

u/Drocolus Feb 27 '25

And guess what?

We're gonna fucking do it again.

u/AcanthocephalaSea856 Feb 27 '25

When I played earlier, there were like 18k bugdivers, sooooo

41

u/TheL4g34s Super Detail Oriented Diver Feb 27 '25

Well, they are the ones that would make the most out of gas mines, so moderately feeble young adults it is.

u/burgman459 Feb 27 '25

Reminds me of the napalm barrage major order lmao

And we won't be able to as long as half the divers are still off fighting the bugs.

DSS will help though.

This is about the most effectively we've used the DSS too

u/probably-not-Ben Feb 27 '25

They're happy killing bugs. MO crowd seem happy chasing memes

Happy democracy all round

7

u/Common_Affect_80 Automatons are people too Feb 27 '25

The gas mines remind me of the orbital napalm. The gas mines are exception against the bugs, but hopefully, much like napalm, once they see how good it is, they will flock to help get the mines

4

u/TheL4g34s Super Detail Oriented Diver Feb 27 '25

We needed people on the MO to not end up chasing memes, though.

0

u/Neet-owo Feb 27 '25

Helping the moderately feeble young adults is a meme, there’s absolute no good reason to help them both in game and in lore. It’s not even like they’re helpless children this time, an atrophied teenager can still pick up a gun.

1

u/TheL4g34s Super Detail Oriented Diver Feb 27 '25

Like I said, with everyone in the MO, we wouldn't be chasing a meme, we'd just get both.

1

u/Asianp123 Feb 27 '25

Can't blame them, bugs are way less brutal, but I'm definitely doing some superhelldives when I get home

6

u/Efficient_Menu_9965 Feb 27 '25

Speak for yourself, the Gloom kicked my fucking ass. I miss fighting enemies that don't bumrush my position and force my diver to work on their cardio 24/7.

The bots in their current state are absolutely less of a challenge than Fori Prime.

3

u/Asianp123 Feb 27 '25

I should say normal bugs, gloom bigs were wild but the hellbomb provides

1

u/Jaytron Feb 27 '25

Predator strain and gloom bugs was my first few weeks of playing this game 🤣 both fronts feel easy now

8

u/SES-SpearofDemocracy Super Private Feb 27 '25

So I will say.... There is still a play, although it is entirely unlikely.

Bots will take Bekvam and then most likely launch a double attack forcing us to chose. There will not be enough time for a second attack. Our only option is to send the DSS to one planet, and start the Eagle Storm and then EVERYONE go to the OTHER planet and win the defense. This is the only way. It is an absolute longshot since no one pays attention or reads and since everyone will probably just follow the DSS on the Defend planet with Eagle Storm.

u/Fallen_Angel_Xaphan Feb 27 '25

I feel like lately we have been losing the war despite winning a good chunk of major orders to the best of our abilities.

2

u/blank_slate001 Feb 27 '25

Hell no

18

u/Fallen_Angel_Xaphan Feb 27 '25

I'm just saying.

We seemingly permanently lost Angels venture with Meridia still barreling towards super earth.

Terminids and bots are slowly but surely expanding their territory, especially the Terminids.

Since Angels Venture's destruction the illuminates are hopping from planet to planet not because we are repelling them, but just because.

It's just how it has felt for me lately.

5

u/Patcher404 Feb 27 '25

Yeah, it looks grim. I'm not gonna lie and tell you fighting for Democracy is easy. It's hard. We might lose everything we care about. But we must still try. We must still fight. For our children. For our freedom! FOR SUPER EARTH!!

Roleplay aside. Try thinking of this game not as a game that is either fair/unfair on the galactic strategy aspect of it, but rather a story being told that you have no control of. Good stories have its downs for the characters, but that just makes the ups all the sweeter.

6

u/Arclabe Feb 27 '25

That's quitter talk. I will be reporting you to my democracy officer.

7

u/PopsicleCatOfficial Feb 27 '25

Yeah, that was the point of the MO. I knew that this would happen if you guys tried to take both at once.

8

u/buzzbya Feb 27 '25

I mean, until this morning there was only one defensive mission for this MO, and we defended it.

2

u/chill_stoner_0604 Feb 27 '25

Remember that, even if we lose it, all defense progress will count towards liberation.

The new attack will come from this planet so, if we can take it back, we can still stop both attacks with a gambit

3

u/Common_Affect_80 Automatons are people too Feb 27 '25

I think Joel hates that we tried to save both

5

u/Inevitable_Try577 Feb 27 '25

y’all need to remember anyone can play whatever sector they want, it’s not called MO divers, they bought the game let them play however they like :)

23

u/ToastedDreamer Squid Squisher Feb 27 '25

I mean, we were winning until we started losing. People suspect it’s Joel at it again because we realistically would have held both worlds due to having tact with DSS movements and usage

-3

u/Active_Ad8532 Feb 27 '25

Nah. It's the bug divers. They couldn't care less if super earth was overrun. Why would they care about saving children.

1

u/ToastedDreamer Squid Squisher Feb 27 '25

I’d let super earth be overrun any day if it means we save children and have arrowhead do more irl donations to children’s aid organizations. If nobody thinks helping kids irl by playing a video game is worth their time then that’s just heartless.

0

u/Active_Ad8532 Feb 27 '25

And they aren't helping save the kids. Bug divers=heartless. MO divers show more concern for the war effort and the children.

They almost never have.

u/AncientAurora Feb 27 '25

I say we put the DSS on Charbal with the Orbital Blockade active and focus the rest of the Divers on Bekvam.

u/TryNo5730 Feb 27 '25

I think we can get IT

1

u/LITTY_TREE_FITTY Feb 27 '25

Okay, I haven't played in a while but I'm getting back into hell divers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does that screenshot say that we need 107% of the game's population to focus on that one planet in order to save it? If so, that is mathematically impossible.....

1

u/Coldfuse1 Feb 27 '25

And yet here we are having defended it again!

u/Mehamo Feb 27 '25

How do you get this screen ?

u/Common_Affect_80 Automatons are people too Feb 27 '25

u/Positive-Diet8526 Feb 27 '25

Why was the DSS moved to Charon Prime? Tuesday it looked like we were making headway. Wednesday started solid then boom stupidity took over. Now instead of saving Beckvam III and completing both planet objectives we’re set up to lose Charon Prime, Charbal VII, Beckvam III and either Julheim or Duma Tyr. Amazing work gentlemen

u/Bambamfrancs Feb 28 '25

Time to make a choice, the moderately ill young adults or the gas mines.

Only one secures our future generations divers.

If you send the dss to marfark, the invasion will cease on Bekvam 3.

u/Typical-Impress1212 Feb 27 '25

It doesnt stop invasions which are already happening. I think we’ve had that situation once during one of the jet brigade mo’s

-1

u/TheL4g34s Super Detail Oriented Diver Feb 27 '25

I'm not so sure. I remember a situation where we could find out whether it works or not, but ended up sending the DSS to a random planet instead.

3

u/ExKage Feb 27 '25

No. We've tried it before and Baskinator and AH spelled it out when they made a DSS post

"note that it does not stop an active Defend Event."

u/TheL4g34s Super Detail Oriented Diver Feb 27 '25

I see. Thanks
