The Helldivers 2 development team is hard at work building on their immense success since the game launched in early February. While the team continues to work hard, they recently opened up about why some bugs are taking longer to fix than others.
Helldivers 2 devs explain nerfs in recent update
Over on the official Helldivers 2 Discord server, Spitz, a community manager at Arrowhead Games Studio, shared some insights into the many bugs and complications that players are still encountering. Spitz’s thoughts were shared in the troubleshooting and general chat categories, giving a better idea of why these issues weren’t addressed sooner or weren’t addressed immediately by team members. It’s also a stark reminder of how much success Helldivers 2 has brought the team, and how they’re trying to manage it appropriately.
"Most of the bugs in the known issues list in #patch-notes-updates are being actively addressed, but they are either major fixes that will take some time or low priority issues behind other things, and most should be patched in the next major build. It's difficult to maintain our cadence of one warbond per month while also fixing major technical glitches in time for the next patch," Spitx wrote.
As many might expect, it all comes down to the Helldivers 2 developer needing a bigger team. It’s a harsh reminder of what happened during the first and second weekends after the game’s release, when Arrowhead announced that the servers had too many players and could only accommodate a certain amount at a time. Now, however, the team has been able to adapt and accommodate a much larger player base, but it’s taken time to get there.
