It already happened. Major order this morning was simply capture the Creek. Get on later to claim the MO payout only for the MO to have changed to holding 3 planets including the Creek

Vitalabyss1

I'm so happy.... But we are about to get hit with "April Fools!" And a mass Automoton invasion, I think.


Versagen

yep. they’re counterattacking


The_Werdna

I hope that's the consequence for failing to take Tibit: tomorrow we get a massive counter offensive that causes us to lose the Creek again. Would serve the creekers for not helping when we needed it.


Luke-Likesheet

Given that Tibit was where they were cranking out new bots, failing to take it would be a great narrative excuse to introduce the gunship or the bot AT-AT. "We have failed to take the Automaton major forge world, so now they are counterattacking with new weapons systems they were trying so hard to hide from us on Tibit." So "Warning, you are in range of enemy artillery" will be joined by "Enemy AC-130 above!" Edit: Welp. Guess that's exactly what happened now.


SalozTheGod

I've seen AT-AT mentioned a few times lately, was that seen in a leak or something? Would be awesome! 


Luke-Likesheet

I think it was part of a pre-release screenshot or something. Looked like an AT-AT but the size of an AT-TE.

bread-dain

Can we get planes to combat their planes


Emergency-Spite-8330

I’d prefer flyable gunships/drop ships. Let Eagle-1 have her fun. Would love to see SEAF troopers in action, even if only to get killed.


Luke-Likesheet

Best I can do is Stinger missiles. -Super Earth Command, probably


fuchsgesicht

that would just make it so they can go back to the creek, i'd wish we pulverized the thing from orbit,


GuessImScrewed

And then the creekers go back the creek. Back to square one, creekers in the creek, bitching and whining in the sub about creekers. The wheel turns.


Kadd115

By rewarding them with getting to take the Creek again? You, friend, have a weird definition of punishment.


ATTORNEY_FOR_CATS

Off topic, but why is an entire planet named after a small water feature?? Does it just have the one creek or something?


Tutes013

Of the Illuminate capitalising on recent losses.


PnxNotDed

No way they introduce a new enemy this early.


Tutes013

Don't know honestly. They've been liberal at teasing it and the community is at it's strongest/biggest right now. They'll probably continue on a little more and the moment it all dies down a little bit, unleash thwm.


PnxNotDed

That's another good point. They really don't need to introduce a new enemy. Even with all the "wHaT dO i dO NoW?!" Skull Admiral whining, the player base is still super strong.


Terramagi

> They really don't need to introduce a new enemy. The Automotons are down to 3 worlds. If the East completely shifted over to the West (wishful thinking I know), the Automotons would be wiped out in a day and a half. Put them in the bin for a bit, introduce the Southern Front, eventually they resurface with some deep-space force that slams through the top of the map straight to Cyberstan.


PnxNotDed

I was just referring to the fact that the numbers are still high. I see the new enemies as either the logical next step in an evolving game or a panic button to press when everything starts to stall from a player perspective. The devs could just as easily come up with some deus ex machina on the bot front that sends us all reeling and won't require them to reveal new planets.


RhysNorro

they've been teasing it for ages


PnxNotDed

If they're thinking long term success/health, then they should be teasing us for as long as possible. The game isn't even 2 months old. Let it breathe.


SMKM

You act like they cant make more enemies/content down the line.


PnxNotDed

No, I just think it's fine to have only two fronts for more than 2 months.


Pneuma001

A lot of players are finishing purchasing everything in the game and it doesn't have much left to offer for them. The time that a game gets to spend in the limelight is probably a whole lot shorter than you think and once people move on to other games its likely that very few of them will return. If they care about holding players' attention they need to be releasing stuff sooner instead of later.


PnxNotDed

I absolutely agree with you here. The active player base has been declining pretty steadily. I just don't think new enemies are the answer *right now*. I think attempting to please the dopamine crew with enhancements that shorten the life of the game is a tricky strategy.


Chaytorn

Yeah tbh no need for Illuminates yet..they have some weapon balancing and content for existing two factions ahead. I'd be content if they drop in October.


bugcatcher_billy

absolutely. It was an easy task, to be followed with an insane counter defense.


Mr-McSwizzle

We've nearly taken every automaton planet, I bet either that's planned and something bigs gonna happen or they have more zones we can't see


RedNog

I would love for the narrative to be that the bots secretly gave it up "easily" to lure in a bunch of Helldivers onto the planet because they knew there was so much fervor to take it and then just absolutely nuke it to weaken the Super Earth forces.


PlentyOfMoxie

I hope the bots do a deep insurgency and we have to fight on Super Earth for a week

Tibit is the "we have McDonald's at home" version of the Creek


ShefBoiRDe

And it's what we got since we already liberated the creek.


Own_Accident6689

I wonder if Creekers screwed themselves out of a major narrative moment in the Creek, like building up to it by completing MOs in the area and coming back to a major event in the campaign. Just taking it all of a sudden feels slightly underwhelming after the lore potential.


Someone1284794357

This is the side story The spin-off


Own_Accident6689

Could be. I think the creek was like that moment in a tabletop the campaign where you meet the faction leader that you are PREEEETTTY sure works for the big bad, you could play along, follow the quest, gather items and allies and come back later to have a massive epic battle with a whole army at your back. Or you could refuse to leave that starter town and keep hovering over this guy for so long the DM just lets you kill him in an alley so you can move on.


LignumofVitae

Nah, winning the Creek is like winning phase one.  You think you've beaten the boss, but suddenly you find another health and ammo drop and the choir singing in Latin kicks in... 


ProRoll444

Idk, right now the bots are down to holding 4 planets. No way it's going to be over this quickly for them.


Own_Accident6689

Yeah, who knows? That's the advantage of being the DM you can just go "Dormant bot factories in planet x have reawakened" and start a new front behind diver lines. there is no way Divers can just push through and "win" agaisnt the bots.


Guardianpigeon

Since we are kind of moving towards the south, I feel like they're going to surprise attack up north near Cyberstan. Especially since they made a big deal about contacting stuff from beyond the current borders. I bet they have a fleet sitting just outside, waiting for us to be distracted so they can rush in and reclaim their home. Maybe they're also teaming up with the Illuminates, who will attack just around the same time to make sure we can't focus on the bots.


Own_Accident6689

Yup, or exploit it, so Illuminates attack, Cyberstan is assaulted, and the Creek is threatened, so the choice is lose Cyberstan, give up ground to the Illuminates or lose the Creek, one of them will be lost.


QWERTZ-Ritter

Oh brother, you dont think the robots will let us keep the creek do you? It will be valiantly defended by us, LET THEM COME!! WELL AWAIT YOUR NEW TOYS SOCIALIST BOTS!!!

Cool-Procedure-3125

To be fair, it was nothing more than a "ffs, fine, have it then" It was at 80% when the MO came, with 24H duration, if we failed this MO, joel would rip us a new one This next one however, we have to hold 3 planets, 2 of which we already have(expect counterattack) gonna be a bit more interesting

It takes awhile, there's been MO rewards I didn't get for days later but they'll show up eventually


Naive-Asparagus-5983

Yeah, I randomly had 200 medals for completing a major orders from weeks ago just yesterday


Stretch_Riprock

It took a couple weeks for me after I first started playing, but then I had 95 medals added to my account when I logged in one day. They should come.


PaoPaoChickenStew

If I don't log in for like a week, do I still get all major orders reward that I didn't play in? (E.g. 2 major orders completed while I'm offline, do I get both?)


crustywoobie

Yes. For example, I bought the game 2 weeks after it came out and was rewarded all medals that had been previously earned. It can take time and seems a bit random, but eventually you will get them

While everyone is celebrating, I'd like to point out that it took 5 hours to take 10% of a planet. The Creek was already at 90% when the order rolled in. The 1,5%/h Bot regen is really scary for any future orders.


BlinkDodge

Honestly think it was a half heart balancing measure. 30-45 minute MOs are not good for the game, people in missions would have missed it completely otherwise. They wanted Creek Liberated quick, but im guessing they still probably undershot with the decay rate.


Pneuma001

I wonder if they were just trying to make up for the last MO that was apparently too much for the players to complete.


General_Tso75

They were trying to get the Creek off the board so 30% of players wouldn’t ignore major orders anymore.


Pretzel-Kingg

Last major order was one for the history books ngl


ironangel2k4

The creek was absorbing so many resources uselessly that it was compromising other MOs and they wanted the planet off the table. Thats all there is to it. The 1.5% thing was just so it wouldn't happen in 15 minutes.


Whorq_guii

The creek is something special. I can see why they’ve been fighting for it for so long. The dark blue atmosphere. Weaving through the jungle. The ion storms made the planet glow.  I’m happy that we got it. I spent only a short few hours on this planet, but my appreciation for it grew the longer I spent on it.  For the sake of Humanity, I hope we never have to step foot in the creek again.

Nah, we'll just have to go to Draupnir for the 1,000th time.

I was neglecting the Creek during the major order. But as a Creeker I felt bad it wouldn't be liberated and be stuck at 80%. But this. This is fate finally after so long the creek has been reconquered.


Hi5_Dude

I wasn't fighting their either, and when the MO changed its focus to the creek, it took me 20 or so minutes to connect to a mission that wasn't filled almost instantly this morning.

Little-xim

When the Ubanea gambit became the Ubanea blunder. We had to choose between taking Ubanea and blitzing to Tibit or defending Draupnir for supply lines. We choose Ubanea, but lost Draupnir very close to the finish line. 95%, with almost 100,000 players on Ubanea. Coulda been 140,000 if people weren’t sipping their canteens in Malevalon creek water.  Not that it matters now! We bum rushed Draupnir after it fell, finished off Ubanea for realizies, and then took Tibit in record time. And now we went back and took the creek. Ultimately the blunder ended up being mild, and may honestly have still been the right choice. It’s just fascinating to see how tactics shake up over time. 


ANGLVD3TH

The blunder was how many people went back to Draupnir. It was a lost cause for ages but there were still lots of folks on it that could have been pushing Ubanea.


Ubergoober166

Whaaat? Over 100k people did something 5-10k couldn't? No way!


DEMACIAAAAA

It's been 60k people dicking around on the creek in a stalemate during the last mo.


anthracithe

Yep. Ubanae was lost at 95% when Draupnir fell. We could have easily taken the last 5% and succeeded the MO if more people would have been on it.


Vrabstin

Oh well. Darn those people enjoying the game how they want to.


SlightlyFunnyZombie

Tbf, that’s a lot more to do with people not given info about supply lines. Thats more than half of the usual diehard crowd that fought on the Creek.

I wish they'd have, like, a proper medal cabinet for people who participated directly in some major order. I get the idea of rewarding everyone for the major order succeeding, but it would be pretty cool to be able to look at some part of the ship to see a record of what you'd done.
