The creative director of Helldivers 2, Johan Pilestedt, has advised players to hold off on purchasing the game until the server issues have been resolved. In response to a YouTuber who felt left out due to the positive chatter surrounding the game on social media, Pilestedt advised that if players don’t have the funds, they should wait until the servers can handle the capacity, despite his desire for the game to be as profitable as possible.
Helldivers 2 has been facing repeated server issues, which have been preventing players from accessing the game. Although the development team is working to resolve the issue, the high number of players has been causing problems with availability and capacity. At present, the servers are only able to support 450,000 players. Arrowhead Game Studios, the game’s developer, has stated that they are working on the issue around the clock, and recommended players who are experiencing progression issues to restart the game so it can sync with the present state of their account.
In NME’s review of the third-person sci-fi shooter, the emergent aspects of the multiplayer modes were lauded, making each moment “an emotional roller coaster”. Fighting alongside three other players, the reviewer recalled taking on a Bile Giant, which appeared seemingly indestructible, before finally killing it with a rocket launcher. However, when one of the giant’s dismembered legs fell on their teammate, crushing them to death, the previously elated team was instead left distraught. In conclusion, the review was a testament to the game’s immersive gameplay experience that kept players invested.
