Transcripts

if you're watching this at launch we're

live right now on twitch.tv links in the

description and the top ping comment

democracy okay then hell divers we are

back and we have got loads to go through

as we managed to finally hit the peak

concurrent which is an amazing number to

see as well as that we've got some

really good ideas that Johan seems to be

acknowledging some really cool Clips

coming from the community and we also

have some leaks coming in from Iron

Sites but don't panic we'll let you guys

know when the leaks are coming through

through so you make sure that if you

don't want to see them you don't have to

with that being said if you haven't

already smash that beautiful blue Thumbs

turned on it'd be greatly appreciated

platform where you can buy your video

games cheaper for PC and consoles with

the best deals offers promotions and

discounts it's extremely simple head

down to the description click on the

link and get your games a little bit

cheaper today that being said let's see

what's going on inside of Hell divers 2

so starting off we finally broke 100,000

divers yet again this is amazing to see

the latest patch has obviously done a

hell of a lot as we breach 100,000

active hell divers across all platforms

it's so bloody nice to see that we can

finally make that turnaround and massive

well done to Arrowhead yet again for

being able to do that but there are some

things that the community are asking for

and some changes that we reckon could be

made not on a term of what it is that

they've already done but in term of new

and additional stuff starting off we had

this post go up here which was a humble

suggest

at a booster rework and you can see on

screen right here there can be

combinations there could be so much that

could come from things the extraction

booster should allow you to call extract

remotely it's still touchdown in its

original location spawn more drop ships

into the mission which I think would be

such a good idea and apparently so does

our CCO Mr Johan so fingers cross we

could see something like that I think

the extraction booster actually having

like a remote calling would be

absolutely incredible you just have to

be there by the time the countdown timer

depletes I think that that really really

works and it's such a big thing mainly

because it would work bit more on The

Narrative of being able to execute

everything on the map and then get back

for the extraction whereas at the moment

we have to obviously call the extraction

and stay within a certain radius to be

able to do it I think that this booster

would be absolutely incredible and a

crucial part of the game overall but let

me know what you guys are thinking via

the comment section Below on top of that

there was some talk in the Discord with

regards to comms between the development

team and the community and twinbeard had

something to say about it now this is a

bit disappointing for me personally but

it's nice to know that they are still

working on some things he States sure

all platforms have their pros and cons

and we're still working on implementing

coms between us and you and hopefully a

better system between players as well

but until then we have to make do with

what we have Discord is our primary one

Reddit is our secondary in terms of Q

and Q stuff and that's not like to

change and that is a little

disappointing mainly because I don't

think that the Discord should really be

the biggest Port of coms I think there's

a lot of other social medias that would

work in a better way and a lot of Gamers

will revert around mainly the Instagram

and Twitter and I think there' be really

good to be able to utilize that rather

than just in the Discord which a lot of

Gamers genuinely don't know about or

even know exists so it's one of those

let me know what you would prefer your

coms to come through via the comment

section below cuz I think I actually

might be pleasantly intrigued but moving

on to some incredible posts coming from

you guys as you guys have been doing

some fruity things just recently this

one right here is absolutely bloody

mental as you can see he is hitting the

extract he needed to get those samples I

don't know what happened with the actual

ship that was due to leave the

extraction ship was going up and down

and up and down that might have been a

bit of a bug or something I don't know

but the jetpack into the back of it is

absolutely iconic and the community went

wild for it as that was absolutely movie

worthy I think it's absolutely cool and

I'd love to be able to do something like

that but unfortunately I'm just not that

talented so if you guys have got any

other caller extractions that you reckon

would make the mark then get it posted

up on Reddit let's get the Reddit alive

again and this one right here Landing a

hit a succulent recallers hit the last

patch in the best thing since slice

bread and as you can tell he shoots off

the recallers and manages to get it at

the perfect time to manage to hit a ship

on its way past hilariously good and

absolutely cinematic I love seeing these

clips I can just browse them all bloody

day but yeah for me it's a really cool

one but we're going to move on into if

missions affected each other in Hell

divers 2 now there is actually a clip

that went up on Reddit and it's received

8,000 upvotes so with the operations the

more missions you complete in an

operation the more Metals you get but

other than that the missions aren't

really connected so he proposed an idea

what if missions affected each other now

how would that work some examples for it

that he gave would be the eradicate

missions when completed it would

decrease the amount of patrols on the

other missions inside of that operation

which would be insane if you had the

orbital lasers missions similar to how

they were first introduced they would

reduce the extraction time for other

missions this just works really really

well and there's so many other ideas

such as the sabotaging sabotaging Air

Base missions that would reduce the

overall amount of drop ships which again

just works really really well and these

are just examples of what it is that

they give and they give a few more

inside of this such as the terminate

eggs the e710 extractions I just think

personally having things like that work

with each other would be insane although

would be quite difficult to be actually

able to implement as it's a very very

big one when it comes to that there's

going to be a lot of moving Parts a lot

of niggly bits and fiddly parts that the

development team would have to work

around so if we ever did see something

like that I wouldn't be expecting it

this year or even maybe next that seems

like a massive massive job to do but

something that isn't a massive job to do

is having an

insectophobia issue and yeah this is

hilarious somebody posted here with

14,000 up votes so my girlfriend has an

IRL insectophobia just checked her stats

zero terminates killed zero terminats

killed which is hilarious ious to see

absolutely hilarious but she is a bot

fighter through and through with

57.8 th000 enemies killed absolutely

love that absolutely love that it's a OG

bot diver for sure but moving into the

next one some ideas that you guys have

put forward with an awesome little

drawing I may add for some melee weapons

now we are obviously working on this and

a lot of this is seeming to have been

moved over from Space Marine with like

the Power Fist and the way the machete

looks alongside the mace instead of like

the hammer and stuff like that but the

cattle prod would also be quite a clever

interpart for that movement it's

hilarious but it looks so damn cool and

I think that the melee options is

something that you guys have been

pushing for for quite some time and

fingers crossed we do manage to see soon

but we are about to move into leak

territory so if you don't want to watch

this part now is the time to leave but

you've had your warning so let's take a

look at what it is that IR insights had

to say earlier on yesterday well hell

divers to leaked presidential elections

now what this is we have no idea it's

been in the ingame files we know that

the presidential elections are going to

be happening at some point and we now

have the three people that would be up

for voting with regards to the

presidential elections including Winston

Richmond junior Senor gun in brit Mor

guns doer and the de Hatchet and this is

hilarious mainly because we are

eventually going to have the

presidential elections and have to

actually vote vote for who we want to

take presidency and on top of that we'll

have presidential strategems including

the additional resupply medic resupply

medic backpacks and this is really

really cool how they're going to

implement and everything I don't know

but it looks absolutely amazing and

finally going into your top comments

from the previous video you guys had a

lot to say and some really really good

points the most liked comment from the

previous video was I was a day one

player and I even remember the earliest

of Hell diver Crusades yesterday was the

most fun I've had playing the game with

the new changes since the release and I

absolutely love to see that because I

think that it's actually such a big

pointer and such a big thing that the

community have all started returning and

enjoying the changes that have been

issued and why is that well actually

this other comment States it clearly you

love the community the community love

you back and that seems to be the

biggest motive for it and I think that

it's something that the arrowhead really

need to lean into and continue leaning

into going forward forward with the next

ones and the final comment right here

saying wouldn't it be crazy if the eagle

straf from run sounded like an A10

warthog imagine getting chased by bugs

and all of a sudden you hear and they

all die yeah you can enjoy that sound

effect it was absolutely awful but you

can enjoy that sound effect and it seems

like you guys are absolutely loving the

game so I'm really really happy to see

where this is going to go hopefully we

do have a bit more of a future push

going forward and we know we've got some

bigger updates coming to boot as well so

that's unfortunately we've got time for

today thanks again for watching if you

haven't already like subscribe
