Arrowhead Games announced a pause to the Galactic War temporarily. It seems there was some work done that has affected the liberation rates for the event. While it not only causes issues for the Galactic War in progress, it could affect the war mechanic for future events as well. It was decided by, um, Democracy to halt progress of the event until they have a fix in place. There was a compromise though, it seems they won’t repair the damage already done by the bug, and “your major order victory is still secure.”
I checked their Steam site and I haven’t seen any mention of it yet. That is a bit ironic since I suspect they’d probably reach a higher number of their player base. Alas, Democracy isn’t always about reaching the higher number of citizens and soldiers. Good luck out there, Helldivers!
About those liberation rates…
Today we updated our backend and we have encountered an error that is affecting planet liberation rates, causing them to skyrocket. While we know this is fun, we also know that it is breaking the Galactic War mechanic itself.In short, this is harming the game experience and will have detrimental effects on the war mechanic in the future.
We have made the decision to pause the Galactic War temporarily until this is fixed. We’re already starting the process, but we do not yet have an ETA for this fix. You will still be able to play Helldivers 2, but you cannot make any contributions to liberating planets or advancing the War.
This is our mistake and we own it. We are not going to revert any of the damage done by this error, however, so your major order victory is still secure.
We will keep you updated as soon as we have more information!
As always, thank you for being patient and understanding, Helldivers.
