    So something that has been blowing up a but on Reddit

    To avoid the login issues you can just never log out, as there is no afk timeout

    Which is upsetting people that afk people are eating up capped server space right now intentionally

    Apparently this is big for Playstation folks. Someone noticed that if they just paused the game and put it in sleep mode, when they came back the next day they showed up right on their ship again.

    Oops.

    The thread I saw had some hints that the developers may be instituting an auto-logout soon for that exact reason.

    Y'know, not like they had anything else important to do...

    Well if a significant number of folks are afk taking up a finite amount of server space, then an auto-logout is part of the solution.

    Oh, agreed.

    Especially if that wasn't commonly realized and it becomes a growing issue.

    Whether it's freeing up existing spots, or preventing the PS network from locking things down, intentionally or otherwise, if it wasn't a priority before, it's probably about to become one.

    Hahaha, that was awesome. I managed to perfectly time a 500kg bomb right as a bile titan climbed out of the ground so it got to it's feet and just instantly died.

    We also had a case of a bile titan eating shit where the team maanged to deploy an airstrike, 2 railguns, and an artillery all in one go. Poor fucker.

    Although im curious how often an afk player game queries the db compared to an active player.

    So fixing the afk boot may actually make them lower the server login cap more to stabilize the database

    As far as I can tell, there isn't a logout option on the Playstation. You have to go into the PS menu and close the title.

    At what point do I assume Quick Play has died, and stop waiting to see if it works?

    Afaik quick play is currently dead, and probably will remain so until they have things a bit more stable.

    Tomorrow's patch might resurrect it, we'll see.

    Playing on PS5, but cannot get multiplayer to work at all. 😭

    HOLY SHIT, you should have seen the next mission after you bounced.

    We are completely fucking it up. After losing 9 reinforcements to bile spewers trying just to get one nest, we attempt the second with one reinforcement left. We both think this is over but we'll see it through for LIBERTY.

    Smarter choices with orbital strikes (and me realizing the machine gun is better on spewers than a shotty) let us get that and it's a mad dash to the extraction. We get swarmed and killed with 30 seconds left, and he dives down outside the extraction zone of course. He jukes when he can and stims when he can't, through a field of spewers and those jumping assholes and fucking makes it.

    He's been off-mic the whole night and well...

    I actually got a mission successful even though everyone died and ran out of reinforcements at the evac / extraction

    Just didn’t get to bring home the science pickups and no evac bonuses

    If you still haven't gotten a Twitch drop, this streamer is currently on with drops enabled:

    I was trying out people on the list on gloryforsuperearth.com, and I stumbled on Sacriel too! I let twitch run for an hour and my medic kit armour and helmet popped.
    I did this during the European peak hours because I couldn't get log on on my PS5, but hey now if I manage to log on, I'm running around in my green Boba Fett armour.

    So I can definity confirm that Sacriel works and that he is still playing Helldivers each (European) evening/night.

    The grenade launcher is one of the most fun and useful weapons. Though it taught me that I must respect the grenade launcher and not get complacent when I fired a grenade at a charging chainsaw armed monstrosity, only to watch the grenade plink off its chest plate and bounce right back into my face. OOOOH SHIII! *Boom ded*

    I named my ship the Prophet of Audacity. Which given what i've pulled off vs Bile Titans is proving well, prophetic.

    I picked this up on PS5 yesterday, but forgot that I have no friends!

    Quickplay is currently broken, right?

  • The Zombie PenguinThe Zombie Penguin Eternal Hungry Corpse Registered User regular
    Quick play sure is broken. Good news is that cross play exists. A lot of the official penny arcade discord crew are playing (many of us Destiny 2 refugees), and I think there's some plan to get dedicated voice channels etc setup.

    So there's ways to match up with us, and we'll gleefully throw you in the deep end (it's good for you! Lots of exp!)

    The grenade launcher having a minimum arming distance is one of the many cases of "mil sim mechanics but they don't tell you,"

    Logged on early this morning go make sure I could at least spend some req before leaving home, sure is annoying seeing the people on my friends list showing as in game but with the afk ZZzzz next to their name who were there when I went to bed last night.

    I logged in this morning just to buy the cool space pilot looking armor. Glad they are cycling ones that have already been out, I missed it the first time. Also it is light armor with servo enhanced throwing. I like both those things.

    It’s worth saying I don’t think there even is a legit “log out” button on PlayStation at least. You gotta back out and close the game entirely from the system menu. I’ve forgotten multiple times and hopped on the next day to see I’m still on my ship

    Wild that there isn’t an afk timer

    it isnt even that long of a wait to get in, I think the most I've encountered was 10 mins. people AFKing are just being silly and kind of rude

    Usually I could get in within half an hour

    Three hours of black screen yesterday

  • ButtersButters A glass of some milks Registered User regular
    There is no way to back out from the log-in loop on PC either. You have to alt-tab or alt-F4 to close the game which is kind of ridiculous. They must be a really small outfit considering how poorly almost everything scales.

    There's no quit to desktop button on the PC version?? What year is this?

    oh I misunderstood. On the PS5 there's no title screen at all. So you can't 'quit to title' when you're done playing from within the game. The only way to logout on PS5 is to go to the system menu, select the game, press the options button and then 'close game', or alternatively, turn off your PS5 entirely. Since most people just put their PS5 to sleep when they're not playing, they're not logged out.

    We spent from 9pm to around 1030 last night trying to log in until we gave up cause we it’s a work day. I definitely see the appeal to staying on afk.

  • TofystedethTofystedeth Registered User regular
    Yeah, the other night I just noodled around on my ship for like 45 because I was waiting for my friends to be able to login and with no idea of how long it might be I didn't want to jump into a mission without them. I actually exit the game when I'm done (I'm on PC so I can easily do that (once it's actually logged in)), but the uncertainty of when/if you'll be able to play, especially if you're trying to play with a specific group of friends definitely changes the calculus of how you behave once in.
