Some concerns were raised in the community when aHelldivers 2developer claimed that leaving an operation would incur a loss in certain instances.
Helldivers 2continues to be an extremely popular game with well over 430,000 peak concurrent players on Steam. However, the surge of players caused server issues that would continue to annoy the community for weeks following the game’s launch. Fortunately, developer Arrowhead Game Studios is quick to release new updates for the game while fostering a safe community for players to share their feedback and general opinions. In addition, theHelldivers 2server cap was increasedto accommodate more players, since login and server issues were rampant for players attempting to play during peak hours. There’s still room for improvement, since cheating still appears to be a problem for some players wanting to complete missions and operations.
As reported byDexerto,Helldivers 2developer and Reddit user AHGS_Misty confirms that abandoning operations does not progress the enemy’s percentage, and players who do leave will not have a negative impact on the planet. This is a relief fortheHelldivers 2community, after fellow developer Evil-Bosse claimed that quitting an operation halfway through counts as a loss for Super Earth. After being corrected by AHGS_Misty, Evil-Bosse apologized for spreading misinformation in the original Reddit thread from Tastrix, which garnered more than 13,000 upvotes on the platform in just a day.
