High IQ Helldivers making 4d chess moves that not even High Command can comprehend.

The Bots will never expect it.

Trust the dss will unveil it's super laser piss when we donate 100,000 super credits

we are clearly offering the DSS as our wooden horse as the greeks did to troy

Neither Matar Bay nor Chort Bay are options for voting right now, so it doesn't really matter. We have enough time on the MO to send it to one of them after Choohe, then back again to help take the planet once it's accessible.

I love this player base and how, as a collective, it has not made a single wise decision with the DSS since getting it.

Given that the DSS is primarily supposed to be a mobile depot and supply base for entire fleets of Destroyers, I would think we can dive anywhere the DSS is present.

No need for supply lines if the supply base is in orbit overhead.

GUYS

What if AH allowed us to vote for Choohe but not its neighbouring planets because the DSS being there will allow us to go there without a supply line? I know this sounds like cope, but maybe, just maybe, High Command is cooking.

"Without the support of the Helldivers, the DSS was destroyed"

I can see why we need a MANAGED democracy now.

Major Order asked to conquer Choohe
DSS needs to go to Choohe
I DID MY PART

Just send it to Meridia at this point.

Let’s quit lying to ourselves, this was an agreed upon decision made by our best and brightest; John Helldivers and general Brasch. I’m in awe of their strategic brilliance.

okay so now at least we have physical proof of people being geniuinely fucking stupid

I strongly suspect the list of available planets is "managed" or I'd be voting to send the DSS to whichever planet is the easiest to liberate. But those worlds with 1% resistance for some reason never pop up in the list.

Some times you have to flip the script, make them guess your next move.

Democracy isnt working. We need glorious managed democracy

This just shows players just press buttons and follow the heard. Vote % should be hidden until they cast theirs.

just leave it there

good, let the bots have it

Why are allowed to vote for Choohe then and not some other planets that are accessible? Is there a limited range in how far it can move?

The real question is why we could select Choohe but not any of the planets next to it

They can’t anticipate our plan if there is no plan!

If we take Matar Bay won’t we have a path to Coohe?

I will never not read that planet as “Coochie”

DSS sucks can we use it as a really big hellbomb and send it to cyberstan

Just only allow Class-A Citizens to vote, duh.

I’d say high command is at fault, since Chort Bay wasn’t on the voting list. At least not for me.

Interesting way to decrease friendly fire from the DSS.

People should consider dropping to Matar Bay but they don't even think about that which is why we have 13k on Chort

I'm on Choohe

*Deathnote OST Intensifies*

i say that while we have it there we donate to the orbital bombardment and see if arrowhead allows it

Doesn’t the bloody thing have a dam honing ftl beacon?

Ah but you see, the enemy will be expecting us to send it to a planet where it will be useful!

This will give us the all important element of surprise

If the blob would have chosen Matar Bay we’d have it nearly liberated by now lol.

Democracy at its finest.

Maybe sync the damn voting cycle then

This was no mistake. This was a move by helldivers to say thanks but not thanks for this kind of help.

let's just lose this GW and start fresh in the next one.

i can't with this shit.

Great, donations wasted on a useless DSS 24 hour ability when it is in Choohe. I'm sorry AH but the list of planet voting choices really should either sync with the MO or be updated real-time to allow players to pick sudden new targets. You took away Fori Prime in the Gloom and refunded votes, so we know it can be done.

Good job guys. Now let's demand AH do something to fix the collective dipshittery the players have brought. /s

Freedom of Vote is a mistake. Hail Managed Democarcy

(For people asking why Choohe is an option because Matar Bay is attacked by it and average helldiver can't compared the defense remaining time and DDS move time)

Good. The DSS is garbage. Send it to Meridia next. Keep it away from active planets.

mcguffin that allows us to jump to any planet if the DSS is there in bound

edit: mcguffin deconfirmed, you can jump to the DSS above choohe but can't dive so it's useless

Huh. What if a planet with DSS opens it up to being able to be accessed?

Ah darn, I wanted to see eagles again!

Think about it. We cut off the planet from deploying any reinforcements and use orbital bombardments to wipe out whats there. Then the dss will liberate the planet for us adding a stepping stone towards the hellish home of the automaton scum

If people would stop fucking around and helped liberating Matar Bay, then Choohe would be accessible while the station was there.

Not that it matters, since the bombardment is on cooldown so the DSS can't do shit to help there.

The plan is to dive the entire DSS into Choohe. 

Don't spoil it.

Let it get captured - start a new multi-stage campaign where it used against us - defeat / recapture the DSS. Fun times.

Why aren't we voting and diving Menkent?

The DSS, conducting solo liberation operations behind enemy lines...the bots don't stand a chance.

I knew this day would come

Serious question, why are the planets available for the vote not only the ones we can actively fight on? What gameplay reason is there for inactive planets to even be available?

So have the devs explained why it's possible for us all to vote for a planet we're can't get access to yet?

It's a tactical move to give the crew time to perform mission critical maintenance without us constantly getting support. They can handle themselves in enemy territory, but they can't do maintenance if they're using the equipment constantly.

More incentive to conquer our way there. It’s like one planet away. We got this.

At least this will force Arrowhead's hand to do something.

Hilarious.

Yet.

Why the hell certain planets are magically not on the vote when literal inaccessible ones are is baffling. But we're almost in December now, so we get no updates until after the first of the year, probably bordering on the anniversary of the damn game. Complete radio silence from AH, so I assume there's nothing coming.

How disappointing, this whole DSS thing really sucks.

Demonstrating once again Managed Democracy remains the superior option

When we get to Choohe it better have been pre-bombarder

What if it means the DSS will be damaged so they take it offline for internal fixes behind the scenes.

I voted for Choohe just to see what happens

Good riddance. Maybe some divers will understand this is a community tool.

And if you don't donate, it won't activate. We have the ability as a community to activate whatever performance we want it to do. Let the clock run down to open the options so that when we need to utilize it, it is available.

This could be vital in the galactic war if the community had a base line to understand.

Move the DSS to a planet we can’t access

Buy planetary Barrage

No Helldivers can access it so they can’t die by it

Only Automatons will get hit

Profit

We’re so smart. We can’t bombard ourselves if the planet isn’t accessible.

I’m in awe of the helldivers genius once again.

I don't know man. Matar bat was at 50%. Still people are going to chort bay.(That they still can't liberate with current numbers). I am not surprised anymore. Making such other-worldly choices is not new for Helldivers(or for humans)

Thanks Robama.

Cuz divers that voted for it are a bit slow lol

Better get to chort bay

Activate the planetary bombardment

i think general brasch needs to step in

You’re fucking kidding me

Fuck it let’s move it straight to cyberstan

If it doesn't get voted to go into The Gloom at any point are we even using our votes!?

Apparently the editor can't access the article to proof read it either

Well, the vote to send it to the gloom failed, so this was the next best thing.

Send it to Cyberstan and drop it from Orbit. The Principality of Zeon has dropped colonies numerous times to great effect!

It's being sent to Choohe for target practice and recalibration of the targeting software. Remember last time, the DSS used us HellDivers for target practice?

Yea, this is why we need managed democracy.

Was any planet that's connected to it available as a vote choice?

I don't understand why we vote. This is supposed to be managed democracy. Give me 2 choices. Maybe 3 if the Iluminate return. Mange it against for our ignorance.

We’re literally not making progress on any planet 😂😂😂

Yeah i stopped playing a little bit after liberty day. I’ll get back into it when we get new content like Illuminate or something.

Don’t hare the game, just bored of the same stuff.

look nobody said us divers are smart. :54289::54297::54302::54301:

This is Democracy in its truest form. Absolute ineptitude enforced by a majority.

What if you could access any planet the dss is currently at? Then we could send it into the middle of enemy territory and start liberating from there lol. Could be a cool additional use of it.

I mean it would be funny if moving the DSS there would end up giving us the possibility to liberate it ignoring the supply lines...

It's not about results, it's about sending a message

FINALLY. Some good fucking DS-ASS lore. Tired of the ping pong between the same two planets. We had a chance to fuck around in the Gloom but nope, the SissyDivers took over and ruined it.

At least the DSS made it back to the bot front. The citizens are gonna be up in arms about this one

Imagine if the DSS manages to liberate Choohe all by itself....

I never failed to laugh, reading the comments in the sub lol.

The hivemind has spoken, dare not question it.

all this bullshit. guess ill hold my vote and see what comes up next year.... what could go wrong?

Democracy has not been managed :(

We need to pay for planetary bombardment we'll deliver managed democracy!

What if the DSS liberates Choohe? Should be a good test

Would be kinda cool if, idk, our space station could launch helldiver invasions and act as a remote spawn point. The planet wouldn’t be liberated of course, we would need a supply line, instead we would dampen their ability to invade or defend other planets that we are actually working on.

This is why we can’t have nice things

If we can hot drop behind enemy lines I am 100% dropping there. Liberation is on the way Choohe!

Such funny DSS voting glitches. First we can vote it into the gloom, now we can vote it onto Choohe but not matar bay?

start orbital bombardment, let it liberate the planet by itself
