After a long time waiting and completing multiple major orders, the Helldivers 2 Democracy Space Station has become operational. While that’s the good news, the bad is that it hasn’t been received very well by the HD2 community as the overwhelming response has been shared disappointment. Fortunately, Arrowhead has acknowledged the reaction, and the Helldivers 2 developer is “working on” various improvements for the DSS.
Something Arrowhead does really well is regularly communicate with fans and adapt based on player feedback. The developer adhered to the wants of players with two recent major updates adding an influx of buffs, and, for the future, Arrowhead has committed to fixing “excessive ragdolling,” revamping the jet pack, and adding to the Galactic War Map.
While the above are improvements to anticipate, right now Helldivers 2 players should know Arrowhead is also looking to make the DSS better.
Arrowhead are discussing “various options” for Helldivers 2 DSS
On November 14th, the Democracy Space Station finally became operational in Helldivers 2. The game’s official X account announced “At long last, the Democracy Space Station has been activated, ushering in a new era of Galactic Freedom. All Helldivers can now democratically direct this Weapon of Mass Liberation from the Galactic Map on their Super Destroyer”.
The DSS has been anticipated for quite awhile with players needing to complete multiple major orders before its activation. Unfortunately though, the consensus online is that the current state of the DSS wasn’t worth the wait.
There are complaints online that the “DSS does nothing but Team kill you,” and there are comments such as “The concept is great, but the execution is poor”.
Community manager, Twinbeard, has acknowledged that Arrowhead are aware of the disappointment from fans. On the game’s official Discord, Twinbeard responded to fans clamouring for an official response from Arrowhead about the current status of the DSS.
Twinbeard said “We are indeed working on it, and you´re right, an update is much needed”. He also replied “More info on the DSS is forthcoming!” and “A bunch of people almost as smart as I am are discussing it ATM. We´ll update if or when we have something substantial to offer”.
In addition to informing fans a message from Arrowhead is in the works, Twinbeard said Arrowhead are discussing possible improvements. The community manager didn’t share specifics, but he said “Various options, angles, parameters, comms, timings etc are being discussed”.
Lastly, Twinbeard said “Whenever things don’t turn out the way we envisioned them, we will assess, adapt and improve”.
