After the controversy surrounding the latest update, the developers of Helldivers 2 have apologized to users, promising to fix everything in the coming weeks and thus remedy their mistakes.
“We’ve spent the last week listening to your feedback and reflecting on the path we have ahead of us for Helldivers 2 and how we want to continue developing the game,” wrote game director Mikael Eriksson.
“In short, we fell short of our goals with the latest update: some things didn’t quite click, and some showed fundamental inconsistencies in our approach to balance and the direction of the game.”
“This was our fault and we acknowledge it. As many of you have pointed out, and we agree, the important thing now is to act, not talk. So here’s what we plan to do with future updates over the next sixty days.”
Arrowhead Game Studios’ Roadmap
In order to regain the trust of users after the Helldivers 2 update that did not please fans, Arrowhead Game Studios has established this path divided into points, as said to be completed within two months:
“Continue to re-evaluate our approach to balance, with the intention of finding a compromise that is fun and not balanced for the sake of being balanced.” “Update how the fire damage mechanic works to change the flamethrower’s function as a close-range support weapon.” “Rework gameplay to avoid excessive ragdoll effect.” “Rethink our approach to primary weapon design and create a plan to make combat more engaging.” “Reprioritize bug fixes to prioritize those that have the most immediate impact on gameplay.” “Improve game performance (frame rate is a key focus).” “Rework magazines.”
