Helldivers 2 fans are starting to get frustrated over DSS

Summary

Helldivers 2 fans criticize DSS, with many disappointed at how dormant it still is and how little impact it has.
Most of the frustration is aimed at the cooling of DSS being too long, and its effects last only for a few hours and are easily missing.
Some fans have suggested that the effects last longer so that more players can experience them, or that DSS has more impact when it is on track.

Helldivers 2's Gigantic Democracy Space Station (usually called DSS) has had its ups and downs since it was added to the game as early as November last year. For starters, the thing ended up blowing everything into pieces, whether it was friend or enemy, which then led to a series of tweaks. More recently, it was used to crush Automatons Jetbrigad, which even Game Master Joel was impressed with.

But for many people, it seems that DSS is still a bit disappointing, and much of it seems to come from its long cooling. Earlier today, a Helldivers 2 fan who goes with background_source922 at Reddit shared his frustration over DSS on the official subreddit and called it “slippery as hell 88% of the time”.

More like dormant space station, Amirite?

Background_source922's post is mainly due to its frustration that DSS does not actually do anything for the most part, because the fans are waiting for its abilities to come out of Koldowns, which can sometimes be days long. Instead, they want DSS to do something constantly that is actually evident, disappointed that the only thing it does is increase the degree of liberation while they are on track.

15-Helldivers 2 needed to be easier to get better

Helldivers 2 turns out to be easier

“No pain, no gain” is not always the best policy. Sometimes it can make it easier for players to increase play time and activity.

With almost 2K quotes, it seems that something is believed to be a problem of a fairly large piece of the fan base, with many upset that they do not even see what DSS does for the most part, with the effects that are active when working or sleeping. It is a question that has many that requires the effects of DSS to start lasting longer so that more people can enjoy them.

It takes tremendous time to start doing things, and when it does, I am at work.

Other fans have begun to propose ways in which DSS may have more impact while its large weapons are on cooling, such as BlackroSexiii's proposal to give all free OPS while it is in orbit, or the proposal for a new important order that would see us liberate a large weapon from the automators to put on DS and make it more helpful.

Regardless of which arrowhead stops doing, it is clear that DSS is still a pretty big decline for many players so far. Arrowhead has committed to support Helldivers 2 for a long time, and I am sure that future updates will make DSS a strength that will eventually be counted. Right now it's a little huh.
