Anyone can hit me up any time, I am not playing to get exp, I play for the community and I love getting wrecked playing with newer players.

It is part of the game, can't always win, it gives the game spice.

This is supposed to be a game between brothers, I was a little brother, now I am a big one and it is my duty to teach the ropes.

If you can't play often, just move up the difficulties slower.

If you keep doing badly, just go down a level. Common and rare samples are the grind anyway, so don't try to force yourself up to 7 just to get a few super samples.

It'll take a long time, but eventually you'll be able to hang in higher difficulties

If you've been playing Helldivers 2 for a while but on and off, I can tell you that the game is noticeably more difficult than the first few weeks after release. Don't be afraid to lower the difficulty to what feels fun to you.

Yup. Welcome to getting older. Best to find a set of friends who are also old and have careers to play with and honestly, we end up dropping down to the hard/extreme difficulties when we just want to have a win, no shame in that when corporate life already stresses you the fuck out for 12 hours.

how is the community, on average, when you're new and dumb? I don't really have anyone to play with from my RL friend group and I've wanted to get into it. Is there like friendly/casual matchmaking or anything like that, or am I just gonna keep getting kicked from games for having the wrong gear?

I get up at 5am on weekdays to get the kids to school, and afterwards I have free time for about an hour. I don’t really get to play on the weekends because family. I have to say though, playing with our Asian brothers/sisters in the morning is an amazing experience, and I have more fun and success with them than with all of us westerners after work and on the weekends. Working level 9s like they are the tutorial. Clearing maps 100% with 50% time left. Never been kicked or killed. Emotes for everything works very well.
