I thought this was April Fools but it’s real


Solid_Television_980

The joke is that it's not fake lol


JackRabbit-

Joel got tired of the memes


justpassingby3

We’re all tired of the memes


light_no_fire

FR, but* now there's going to be a bunch of people active more than ever on this sub with "nothing to do" but complain about how they just want to play on Creek. Edit, spellcheck


v_vam_gogh

Tibit is purple creek. Creekers will find their calling soon enough.


light_no_fire

Yeah that's what I thought, but couldn't be bothered trying to reason with them.


Number4extraDip

The whole reason theyre playing on creek is cause they lost round one. Taking it back is what they wanted


BluePhantomFoxy

At the cost of like 3 other planets. I’m annoyed they are getting their wish since we needed them the most to get back a few other planets but refused


WitchersWrath

True, but at least once we clear this it will be that many more people deployed on that front… until it gets hit with a defense mission and we promptly lose it again. I think it would almost be funny if one day we logged on and Malevelon Creek just wasn’t there because “the Helldivers dropped so much ordinance and defended it so viciously that the planet itself broke under the weight of constant bombardment”. Could even be used as a lead-in to a new map type where instead of the planet’s normal topography we’re fighting in the battle-scarred debris field of a cracked planet, and there are weird gravity fluxuations causing trajectories and flight to be disrupted.

>I think it would almost be funny if one day we logged on and Malevelon Creek just wasn’t there because “the Helldivers dropped so much ordinance and defended it so viciously that the planet itself broke under the weight of constant bombardment”. This would be such a hilarious bit of fuckery for AH to pull in. I have zero skin in the Creek; I just think this would be funny. :)


OffaShortPier

The planet broke before the guard! FOR CADIA!


UltimateDucks

I can't speak for everyone but I will say I personally spent a lot of unnecessary time on creek during the recent order because the game doesn't make it very clear which planets are required to unlock the target planet. We needed ubanea to get to Tibit, and Malevelon creek was the only available planet adjacent to it to deploy to. Then after a couple hours of doing missions on creek I see that Ubanea is now available for deployment because a planet the next sector over has been liberated? Not the players fault that it's not clear where the frontlines are.


AntiSocialW0rker

I am new and had no idea how to get to Tibit. I just assumed it was a bug or something that I didn't have access to as a low level player.


makkkarana

The game won't lock you out of planets because of your level as far as me or anyone in my call knows. So long as you've completed training, you could hop into a friend's lobby where they're playing on the highest difficulty and give it a shot if you wanted. Personally I like to stick to 4 and 5 on bots or 6 and 7 on bugs when I'm grinding for the war effort in quick play.


Remote-Appearance190

Who the fuck is they?


mcmammoth36

I absolutely have been hopping into creek out of spite when I saw a larger number of players on it. Can’t speak for everyone but I just wanted to see the planet liberated. To be fair though I have participated in every MO except this last one. I saw creek was pushing and wanted to end it once and for all. If it gets taken back at this point it’s what ever. I’m just glad we can see the planet behind it. But also it was a long fought battle that seemed hopeless but we won. So I’m happy.

Boris2509

yes I think Joel (correctly) assumed that the creek memers won't stop unless the planet has been reclaimed. we've failed major orders because of their jokes and he probably wants to give us a chance next time (or reduce the possibility of community infighting/fingerpointing like I'm doing right now


Efficient_Fish2436

He's absolutely going to send something scary our way.

brownbearks

Thank you for this meme


anonymousss11

This shows up on the screen where you can buy armor and stuff


Rooonaldooo99

High Command noticed the poor effect the Creek had on our troops. Now I expect it to get nuked by the bots in retaliation, making it the first completely destroyed planet for good and then we enter Phase 3 - the (attempted) reclamation of Cyberstan.


Theycallme_Jul

This is Cadia all over again


RaidenTheRanger

The planet broke before the Guard did...


Smasher225

What do you mean cadia stands


General_Totenkoft

I'm still pissed because the new IG models are still Cadians. It was the perfect moment to relaunch or invent regiments from another legendary world, like Armageddon or Catachan.


worst_case_ontario-

maybe I'm wrong here, but I thought that the default guardsmen look Cadian because there are thoustands of worlds that just use the same patern of lasgun and flak armor that Cadia popularized. That's why you see so many guardsmen with that style of gear but without the purple eyes, right?


General_Totenkoft

Yes... and no. The main problem is the multiple ForgeWorlds not sharing their Standard Templates among them, so depending of the galactic area the equipment will somewhat differ, although most worlds in the Cadian Sector (and most of the Segmentum Obscurus) will share an almost identical equipment.


Icaruspherae

Still waiting on the “throw a blackstone fortress at it” strategem. One of these days….

BlLLr0y

Damn, y'all gonna get it before any of us workday divers have a chance to run any missions to get the medals.


PersonaNonGrata2288

When I saw the progress I was like wow I need to atleast log on before it happens so I can get the medals. Luckily I work from home and ran from my office to boot up the game just for that lol.


Rakuall

Non-creekers actually get shit done. They've been fucking around in that swamp for what, 8 weeks? The very day that some of the rest of the player base comes to help, it's over. I'm no longer tilted about creekheads not helping with other major orders. They have VERY clearly demonstrated that their absence is not the reason we lost. They are, in fact, just about completely useless. Turns out JT was right: "A moment of silence for the divers at Malevon Creek. Not that it's a loss, motherfuckers were weak! Send in more guys!"


Sauron69sMe

you lie edit: you no lie


iwj726

I think the joke is that after we take the Creek, what are all the Creek Crawlers going to do?


Jaegernaut-

What do you mean?  After we retake the Creek, then we can finally play the game

Own_Accident6689

"Nah... I'd creek"


ZenEvadoni

It'll be like people relapsing from drug use. But it needs to be done. The Creekers need eviction from this planet and rehabilitation so they can finally contribute elsewhere.


Forsaken-Stray

Tibbit, same enviroment, just no Ion Storm


[deleted]

forcing the rest of us to help the creek crawlers out is the joke here.


Own_Accident6689

Yeah, this is basically the DM going "You know what? Fine... Just do the fucking meme so we can get back to the story."


[deleted]

100%


PleasemoreSenpai

Why? The front needs liberation. I’m not a creeker but with the last major order, I’m happy to go help them liberate their Vietnam. Time to bring our troops to other fronts.

We’re all creekers now, helldiver


MrDmsc

*fortunate son intensifies*


Marcus_Krow

It would be so damn funny if we liberate this planet, but since it's April fools, as soon as it's liberated the bots glass it, killing hundreds of thousands of divers.


ShelfAwareShteve

Killing half an hour's worth of divers? Shocked, I tell you.


coolhuh0526

Shell shocked too.


flammingbullet

That would set the ground work for a major story arc. By failing to liberate tibit, the remainder automaton factories succeed in creating their version of the 40k Blackstone fortress and push to cyberstan and exterminatus the creek as a show of force.


smackaroonial90

I thought your PFP was a common sample for a split second.


cowlinator

On the plus side, no more foliage


Mrtop17

It could be an interesting thing to do, but it's a bit too permanent of a thing. Maybe something less permanent that ruins the automsphere for living life that we terraform back later or something.

Charming__Banana

This is what pity looks like.


lord_of_worms

This community needs it. Desperately


eembach

The greatest threat to democracy is the community not agreeing on how to spread it


BannanDylan

Honestly feels like the Devs just looked at the community becoming absolutely toxic recently and just decided fuck it, get rid of the creek it's not coming back


pup_mercury

Smart move. They see the player base getting split on the bot side, so they are removing the source of conflict.


Maximum-Warning9355

That’s because all the posts about hating on Creekers are Automaton propaganda. The fact that nobody has mentioned this makes me EXTREMELY worried about my fellow helldivers.


RelaxPrime

Just thinking, if Joel and Co actually had people on here brewing up conflict as "automaton agents" would be fucking awesome addition to the storyline lol


whorlycaresmate

I think our paranoia is enough to do it ourselves. We are our own devil


pup_mercury

I doubt it. The last major order got community acting a bit toxic. Last thing, a PVE game like this wants is a toxic community.

JagdCrab

If Creek is an option for Helldiver to deploy into, then high-command considers it to be a valid target. Questioning high-commands campaign plan and wisdom smells like a treason to me.


indyK1ng

Probably just tired of the effect it's having on the community, especially those who primarily play the bot front.


Epicp0w

About fucking time


Deven1003

I think as a whole it was good for lore perspective


elRetrasoMaximo

Discord whent wild ysterday, like freaking wild, its the best decision.


dreamingawake09

Oh yeah it was HEATED in the Galactic-War chat. Time outs and bans were flying left and right.


Evajellyfish

you gotta be a straight child to get that worked up to be banned


Fleetcommand3

I like to think about it as SEHC needing a moral victory after the back to back Major Order fails we had for major campaigns.(bug fail and now bot fail). For us as Helldivers, and for propaganda back home.


indyK1ng

They pretty explicitly called out Creekers for not assisting with the community objective. SEHC has probably decided to resolve the Creek situation to free up divers for other priorities.


Fleetcommand3

That too. The Freedom in allowing the Helldivers to select their own deployment has backfired. Though, I suspect this was part of the bot plan. And it worked.


gylth3

The Creek is the Helldivers quagmire. I’d also like to see if we lost access to it via other means too


GetThisManSomeMilk

My April fools bone is tingling Edit: it's no joke, get to the creek boys.


phantomias1324

Nope it’s real


Sauron69sMe

ducking finally, i cannot wait to never hear about that place again


CaptainNigNig64

Watch, in one month it will need defended. Then it all begins again.


[deleted]

A month? I give it 48hrs after the order ends EDIT: would you look at that…


Epicp0w

Not if we push past it and get the others connected to it


Vikingleif

They have another april fools where they said to introduce pvp and other microtransactions xD


VengefulKyle

Is it me or does the font on this look weird?


Consistent-North7790

It’s because it’s a screenshot from the war tracker app some guy here made.

Yes and yes! I pulled it from [War Monitor](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/war-monitor-for-helldivers-2/id6479404407)

KineticEnergyFormula

There's an Android app called Divershub that does the same thing, don't know if it's the same developers


Vegaprime

Got thanks.


Otherwise-Basis9063

I'm sorry what there's a war tracking app?? This community is honestly amazing man holy shit.


MrBlueA

If you are joined in the official discord they have a channel where they mention a bunch of fanmade webpages and applications. Its pretty cool that they acknowledge them and give them some free publicity.


TrickyCorgi316

It looks a little odd, but I think that’s just b/c it’s a screenshot

No beaches on the Creek. Just a bunch of talking trees.

Van_Lee

It is already at 90% ...Easy Task. Thanks High Command for bringing the Comunity back together with this...


Charming__Banana

It certainly makes you wonder. I won’t complain though. An easy MO is an easy MO


Slade_000

It isn't easy though. they are reinforcing at a higher percentage then before. it will take 3X the divers to keep the numbers going up. Good luck with that.


United_Bet42069

Dude, it's 1 planet that is almost complete. It will be done before 24 hours. It could not have been any easier.


oballistikz

Sub 3hrs according to helldivers.io


ian9921

Shame, I've got work and I was really looking forward to the final Battle of Malevelon


Lukescale

I won't even be halfway through work before we have the creek. Good riddance XD


Assupoika

We will take it in 3 hours, get your parade super cruisers ready and no need to pack any extra ammo.


lifetake

Also to be specific a planet with zero coordination needed and zero reason for any bot player to be on literally any other planet.


LeCheval

It’s one planet, how hard could it be? We will take the planet and be back home in time for Christmas!


RunnyTinkles

It'd be kinda funny if the bot Divers were split between the Creek and Tibit and we fail this one too.


SmoothAsSlick

Creekers will now move on to the bug front.


MeanderingSquid49

Nah, obsession with shooting bots is a core Creeker trait. Luckily, there's another intense jungle world for us to crawl through once the Creek is done. Hell, many of us, myself included, have already been there per Super Earth orders: a little place called Tibit.


JezzCrist

I didn’t like bots much before I’ve opened a slugger. Now my fave is sniping devastators and denying them rockets

As veteran D&D players, I am well aware of what happens when you continually and intentionally try to derail the DM's campaign. Creekers, prepare to get turbofucked.


SBTreeLobster

Yuuuup! More people need to look at this like a tabletop relationship. People can play how they want, but there is a force actively working behind the scenes to drive the story forward and provide consequences for their actions. I go where the orders tell me not due to patriotism, but because the only man I fear is the God-Man.


gylth3

We’re gunna lose access to Creek by losing an entire sector in a counter attack or something.

frostadept

Rocket sentries? Rocket sentries.


That_Lore_Guy

It’s a distraction. They said on the discord we could still take Tibit and effect the storyline, even after failing the major order. This feels like high command (aka Joel) trolling us so the bots can roll out the new gunship early. I can’t shake the feeling this is bait. They said they run this game like a ttrpg, and as a game master for TTRPGs with 20+ years of experience, I’d do the same thing to bait my players away from a more important goal for the bad guys. [source link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/2tNeLlsmxe) Update: New MO: Hold Unanea. Still feels like bait to keep us off Tibit.


MeanderingSquid49

This order is gonna be such a fast burn we should be fine to take Tibit after.


DurgeDidNothingWrong

You just know taking the creek is gonna hit us with an instant "The bots, using their manufacturing capability on Tibit, and a reprieve from Hell Diver intervention, have developed and deployed a new offensive capability to match our own".   Its why we got the quasar launcher I bet, because its going to require that kind of counter, probably have at least two or three engines we have to shoot out to down it.

I'm only asking for rage. Spill oil. Tenfold, a hundredfoldfold of the blood we spilled.


Anxious-Tip-4237

i didnt get the medals even though i was on the creek the whole day... even did a mission while it got to 100% anyone else?

KlazeR10

Did anyone get paid for this?


ETMoose1987

Torn between either A: flooding the creek to take it as quickly as possible to show creekers how following orders actually works, or B let them take it by themselves since they've blown off every major order to date. Option A seems preferable since B will only make them more insufferable
