No, the game didn't get easier, you just got better
So it seems lot of people lately are complaining that the game has gotten way easier, and many of them are implying that it has anything to do with the repeated buffs of most stratagems and repeated nerfs of most enemies. Well, fear not divers, I'm here to put all these rumors to rest !
See, this phenomena has everything to do with your superhuman ability to learn and adapt, of course once you pass a few hundred hours the game should be easy, that's how it's supposed to be ! You should gladly accept this honor of being bored playing the highest difficulty in the game and the only danger being your teammates, for it is a testament to your skill, Helldiver ! How could the enemies of Democracy ever anticipate the strategy of four players dropping and running around solo with no communication for 40 minutes while they blow everything up ?
No you shouldn't expect a live service game to have any content that can challenge people with a few hundred hours of gameplay, idk maybe on one of it's ten difficulties. Nuh-uh, you must accept you have reached peak Helldiving, brother. From this point onward, no more struggles, it's all smooth sailing on the seas of Democracy.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
