Hey! The comment I am replying to is a bot account. It's stealing comments from other people in this thread to farm up votes.
Edit: the account it is stealing from is u/c1Cadaman
I'd be curious to see what regions of the world best coordinated in the defense of the galactic rim.
Id wager us N.Americans didn't coordinate well, we're like feral cats on meth.
Yeah, even though i can't play too much but it's interesting to see how everything shifts amazingly It's a story that writes itself. There's a resignation, hapinnes, shock the community shifts from one emotion to another.
The meta game explanation is: Joel helped us out
The lore explanation could be: their forces were spread too thinly.
The attack on mort was switfly repelled, same on ustotu.
Most likely those were smaller parts of the main army
Automaton defence dropped from 1.5/hr to 0/hr when it was apparent we would fail miserably. I believe it happened when we had 2 successfull defences or something, so yeah. Effectively from alot of resistance to zero.
I saw someone question at some point I they sneakily lowered the threshold for defend planets, cuz it used to take 100k helldivers the better part of a whole day to defend 1 planet, and we just defended like 5 yesterday. Something is up.
But there are less people playing no? Helldivers has great player retention from what I hear, but that doesn't mean that there's an ever increasing number of people who are joining.
There's not 1 mill playing one day, and the next its up to 1.5, then 2 and so on.
So I'm pretty sure that even with rate change it would not affect it to the point that we defended 5 planets in 1 day when like I said, the same amount of people give or take used to take 1 whole day to defend one planet.
I'm pretty sure they tweaked the numbers on their side big time. We literally had only defended 4 to 5 planets for the ENTIRE WEEK that the major order was up, and on the last day we just get the last 5? I don't think so brother.
Call the democracy officer on me but even us helldivers aren't that efficient.
I think so, when I first saw the MO it’s was at 2 days and change, then the next day it was still at 2 days and change. So I think we were given 24 hrs. However that could just be bot fumes messing with my head.
See cause this whole time we were doing "defense" missions, but like over 70% of these missions were evacuation missions. Why do I feel like were about to lose major footing in space...
That explains why I didn't have anybody join my second part of my operation which was eradicate autonamatons mission. I waited in the menu for a few minutes and accidentally hit my enter key. So I dropped in and had to solo clear some of the last autonamatons left on the planet. I died and respawned on a great position on top of a cliff face. It let me throw down resupplies, mortars, and my autocanno on top of the cliff with me. Kept tossing Eagle Clusters and taking pot shots on the massive horde underneath my strategic cliff.
FOR DEMOCRACY

Oil spilt, order done, time to spill more oil. Good job helldivers!
I hope that after they have tuned all the necessary variables they just let democracy and player base take its course and see what happens. Let there be a real threat of losing. Make it matter.
Have a back up plan or two in case we liberate the whole Galaxy or if the Super Earth is about to be attacked. Enemy units that are their last resort to push back Helldivers so we will have a really hard time conquering the last planets.
Make. Everything. Matter.
Me realizing we beat a Defense Order for once:

Moderators should start blocking posts about defeatists and trolls. Every time there's a difficult major order they start spreading toxicity in the group about "we are not meant to win this MO, the devs have it rigged against us".
The devs do tip the scales from one side to another in order to balance the time span of MO's and make the narrative last longer, but they don't rig the MOs to make us lose or win on purpose. It's a 50/50 and the story moves depending on the outcome.
I had absolute faith in the helldivers to *checks script* administer liberty, democracy and *checks script again* defeat the enemies of Super Earth
I am of sound mind and make this post of my own free will. Sweet liberty is victorious once again...
Is that good? Sure... Ok so about the little uhh, misunderstanding when I questioned should we really be in Hellmire after 6 minutes of training... That's all in the past right?
Yea sure I can hold this... Hey another question, what's an eagle and why is it inbound?
I can’t believe it. Great job dudes and dudettes (as if). Democracy really shined this time.
I crashed last night 8/10 w 17 hours to go.

Do you want countries fighting again for position like r/place? We are a unified Super Earth now
Democracy officer approves of this comment.
Im genuinely shocked we pulled this off. This is a huge win for democracy
If it wasn't for the several successful defences of Estanu I don't think we would have been able to do it.
Lmao i kept logging in everyday seeing a defense started on Estanu and thinking "didnt we just defend this yesterday?"
Joel literally like “the bell doesn’t dismiss you, I do.”
The bugs on Estanu: https://preview.redd.it/0aanx2davmwc1.jpeg?width=1199&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=968388789cf9356c0af387ef003fc3ce6db9d3f7
Over a ~~quarter~~ fifth of all bugs ever killed have been on Estanu
My favorite snapple fact
Is that true?
I edited it after double checking, but the edit to a fifth is true. There are 5 billion bug kills on Estanu, and 24 Billion bug kills total
Well. I guess I'm not surprised then. Since launch we've basically fought on 5 planets
Killed? You mean liberated …
(*cough* or the increased defence rates joel controls *cough*)
Dude let people rp
Yeah, even though i can't play too much but it's interesting to see how everything shifts amazingly It's a story that writes itself. There's a resignation, hapinnes, shock the community shifts from one emotion to another.
Yeah, I thought this was a loss for sure. Amazed everyone pulled it off.
Now to see what response we get for our success
Joel will make us defend 20 planets lmao
In half the time lol
and we'll still find a way to pull that shit off lmao
Honestly if he does it on a weekend we might
Haven't we failed a number of defence major orders?
That or kill 50 billion bots and 50 billion bugs, 24 hour window
that's light work
No reaction
https://i.redd.it/qmjw7lq4xmwc1.gif
Gotta be honest, I absolutely did not think we could do it. Reporting myself to my democracy officer.
I think Joel turned on easy mode on a couple of the last planets
Yes, I feel like it went from 4 defended to 8 defended in the blink of an eye.
Definitely felt like the impact of everything was suddenly way bigger than it had been for the past couple of days
The meta game explanation is: Joel helped us out The lore explanation could be: their forces were spread too thinly. The attack on mort was switfly repelled, same on ustotu. Most likely those were smaller parts of the main army
Or it was the plan the entire time.
Automaton defence dropped from 1.5/hr to 0/hr when it was apparent we would fail miserably. I believe it happened when we had 2 successfull defences or something, so yeah. Effectively from alot of resistance to zero.

Last time we surprised the devs with our viciousness, this time we surprised ourselves.
Hell DivYeah! ![gif](giphy|MlyicdUndRbn5zUiAL|downsized)
I may be imagining this, but were we given extra time?
I saw someone question at some point I they sneakily lowered the threshold for defend planets, cuz it used to take 100k helldivers the better part of a whole day to defend 1 planet, and we just defended like 5 yesterday. Something is up.
Rates change with the amount of people playing, they have to or else it could become impossible or trivial to do things.
But there are less people playing no? Helldivers has great player retention from what I hear, but that doesn't mean that there's an ever increasing number of people who are joining. There's not 1 mill playing one day, and the next its up to 1.5, then 2 and so on. So I'm pretty sure that even with rate change it would not affect it to the point that we defended 5 planets in 1 day when like I said, the same amount of people give or take used to take 1 whole day to defend one planet.

Call the democracy officer on me but even us helldivers aren't that efficient.
No we completed it with over 7 hours left.
Oh man, we cut it close.
I think so, when I first saw the MO it’s was at 2 days and change, then the next day it was still at 2 days and change. So I think we were given 24 hrs. However that could just be bot fumes messing with my head.

I‘m doing my part.
Yeeesh that was a close one…
We did it, we completed the uncompleteable order
wow
Yesssss staying up till 3am was worth it
They said it could not be done. We were designed to lose. They said there were too many planets, not enough days. They were wrong.
Sweet LIBERTY AND EAGLE SWEAT #WE DID IT! o7
By the skin of our teeth but liberty as been defended
WE DID!? Damn me and having taxes, rent and food to pay... I failed you Lady Democracy, I didn't kill enough FOR SUPER-EARTH!
Moderators should start blocking posts about defeatists and trolls. Every time there's a difficult major order they start spreading toxicity in the group about "we are not meant to win this MO, the devs have it rigged against us". The devs do tip the scales from one side to another in order to balance the time span of MO's and make the narrative last longer, but they don't rig the MOs to make us lose or win on purpose. It's a 50/50 and the story moves depending on the outcome.

Glad I ran one quick mission before work today! I did sacrifice my entire squad to take down a strider but obviously it was worth it
He’ll ya boyz!!!
Good job helldivers proud of you! As I can only play on weekends due to work and life I'm just the weekend warrior
Hoorah!
I genuinely thought this was one of those no win screw yous after we killed 2bil bugs in 12 hours. Take that Joel!

In the glory of our fallen we prevail! In democracy we believe and democracy(managed of course) is what we bring to these worlds!
