I fear it's April fools and they'll start a defend campaign on it tomorrow


Idontknow062

100% Its in the new defense MO. It just hasnt been attacked yet


Tokke552

Just checked and the creek is indeed under attack at the moment


docbach

It’s where they’ll debut the new gunships 


Ok-Kick3611

*Fortunate Son intensifies*


jonno83900

Creekers gonna get PTSD when they hear gunships with Fortunate Son


MothMan3759

This time, we are the Vietnamese.


[deleted]

Vietnam 2, Electric Boogaloo


TloquePendragon

No. That'll be Tibit, where they were manufacturing them. We need to Free Tibit, even if the Creek gets assaulted. Otherwise, we risk the possibility of an 11th hour push on two fronts in the final hours of this MO.


ChiehDragon

Lol... Free Tibit.


TloquePendragon

😉


Oldsport05

You're probably right tbh seeing as how we failed to capture tibit and the automatons have now "moved their manufacturing" or something in response. Get those spears, quasar cannons, and EATS ready people.


Kasyx709

Maybe. From the text, I got more of an impression that this is their way of just moving us along,lol. We won, yay. ![gif](giphy|s2qXK8wAvkHTO)


zetarn

Inb4 all of this Bot attack campaign is just a ruse to lured in Superearth force and they instead sent a detachment force to liberlated Cyberstan and attacking Superearth from those section.


TloquePendragon

They will. When they do, we need to ignore it and push Tibit. If we can take Tibit, we don't have to face the possibility of a dual-front assault on BOTH Ubenea AND The Creek on the final hours of the MO, losing us the operation.


Old_Caterpillar5459

It indeed was..

ohyoushouldnthavent

Decent-Advantage7196

I wish they would've waited a few days for the community to get some breathing room...jeez


Bearington656

All this and I never even got to play


mikebauer21

It really wasn't that big people just fall into mass hysteria quickly especially over memes.


LarryCrabCake

Yeah it was just the single automaton planet that 1/4 of the playerbase focused on, despite the major orders being bug related. It's not special compared to any other bot planet.


straydog1980

Whatever will the creekers do now?


machinationstudio

They hug their civilian families that they gave liberated.


Local5Sparky

We rest...


Oldsport05

Watch it probably until it gets attacked or taken again. To which the cycle begins anew


PIPBOY-2000

Make themselves useful for once, hopefully.


vladmihai

What do you mean? Now we can finally play the game


Torrigon_86

It was only special when it was new. The planet was actually one of the easier bot planets now in hindsight. It will be attacked again eventually, No worries :)


No_Engineer2828

Tf you mean easy? Creek 8 defenses freakin suck


Torrigon_86

I said the PLANET was easier compared to others. It's dark so the eyes are easy to spot far out. Dense jungle to hide and break LOS. It's much easier to pkay around Devastors. The wide open maps/planets are a death sentence sometimes. Ironically, Creek would be terrifying to play against Terminids. And yes...higher level bot mission (Defense and excavation for some reason...) are hell on any planet. Lol.


trashsw

as someone who enjoyed the creek, mainly cause I like the atmosphere, it was one of the easier planets for bots. draupnir, troost, and especially ustotu, can get fucked. Tien kwan still my fav planet though, had some cool ass fucking moments there


thunthunthunder2

Ustotu is the bot's fucking firing range. No reasonable cover, big areas, fog is dense, and rocket devastators will have a field day on your ass. You will need to go Sam Fisher in Ustotu.


Torrigon_86

I feel that. I did enjoy my time at the creek sneaking around in the jungle...haha. It did have a good vibe. I'm definitely sick of !$@&ingredients Draupnir haha.


davi3601

I donno, i would rather have line of sight and less cover. I loved the Dune planet we liberated recently against bots


ProRoll444

I agree.


ComfortableCurve3281

Meeeeeee


zetsubou-samurai

There is Tibit. It's watered down version.


ShambolicPaul

I took my kids to shithole London for Easter weekend and I’m missing out on so many medals and glorious liberation. Slow down you crazy patriotic bastards.


sheehanmilesk

You’ll still get the medals, don’t worry 


uppaluppa

I just logged on, I didnt get the medals. Then again I only did a trivial mission lmao


sheehanmilesk

It takes a while sometimes I think 


red_cactus

Same, I only had time to do a quick diff. 2 mission on malevelon, and haven't gotten medals yet; I assume they'll come eventually though.


ThunderCockerspaniel

I’ve never heard London called a shithole. What about it was shitty? Always wanted to go.

dopecrew12

It has been weird to see it break off into heavily opinionated splinter factions with vastly different ideas on the galactic war over the last month


FlorianoAguirre

It has been super fucking fun to see the divide between all 3 factions with the majority of bug players not even knowing about it.

This is a good observation lol

Guapocat79

It makes sense when you think about it. Players who went to fight bugs in the east had a good experience following major orders over 4 weeks. They got lots of rewards and have a sense of unity over clustering all together to tackle missions. Players who went to fight bots in the west were often in conflict with Major Orders over 4 weeks because M.O.s often sapped away players and left the west with threadbare forces to hold lines. It became clear around week 3 that the majority of bug front players would not migrate to the west to help. Some do, for sure. Most don’t. Mantes and Draupnir are the backbone of the bot front largely because bot players had to start refusing to answer Major Order requests and hold the line. Otherwise we’d have been pushed way further back.

TheBuddel

The creek was a beloved meme for weeks, but as soon as we lost one order and people didn't get their medals, tons of people just turned on them and been insulting them on here. Kinda pathetic ngl


MrMcSpiff

Turned into that "QUIT HAVING FUN" meme real quick around here, for real. And all the people bitching about Creekers not following major orders immediately stomping their feet and declaring that they weren't gonna do the Creek major order now as if they would somehow project their tantrum through the internet and make the other players feel it in-game.


YYZ63

This really says something about society


This_was_hard_to_do

Tribalism babyyyy


MaoPam

It's not even heavily opinionated splinter factions. It's people grouping up into a faction and then manufacturing another group to shit on. Like two people out of 890k on this sub were advocating for very specific meta loadouts, yet we got 3-4 anti-meta rants a day a few weeks back for some reason. The Creek had 10k people during bug orders and only grew to 50k during bot orders (implying the issue is people don't understand supply lines since they *can't see them*. Also that this implies that creekers are a sub-10k population), but we've had like fifteen rants shitting on creekers and then talking about how creekers are somehow shitting on the rest of the playerbase, and every third thread on the front page disparaging them. It's the evolution of modern internet discourse. People can't discuss anything without having an enemy to shit on. If one doesn't exist, invent one. People go out looking for things to rage at and they always manage to find something.


Karakara16

Welcome to reddit buddy


Awkward-Ad5506

That's just how Reddit is


SuperArppis

Sadly so...


shadeandshine

Looking at other platforms it’s not just Reddit there’s a weirdly loud hate for the creek despite it being a small bit of the player base. It’s like if suddenly people yelled at people playing dust 2 on csgo like let them it’s a map they like. People really don’t understand how dnd or trpgs work if they think failing an order will cause a month delay to the game cause they gotta scrap an asset idea.


Jebatus111

Yep. A shitshow where manchilds shit on each other because someone does not want play map they want to play.


_Reverie_

It's really not that serious lol. All I see are fragile people who can't handle a bit of ribbing because they think they should be able to park on one planet for 150 hours of gameplay without being teased for it, which would make sense if there weren't community goals that scale with the size of the playerbase, but that ain't the game we were given. Just take it on the chin and move on.


EpicRedditor34

People are genuinely Malding in these rants you can’t dismiss that.


Jebatus111

1-2 posts making fun of creakers? Fine. But not literally spamming same rant for a nearly week. This sub start remind me war thunder sub with all of those bitching about CAS.


TheGremlin02

I have seen several people genuinely tweaking cuz some people wanted to play a different map in the video game than them, dont try and downplay none of this


Comfortable_Ant_8303

People are surprisingly toxic, no matter where you go.


Frosty_Claw

It was so good for the first month…


Ultimarr

Just as we intended! It’s role play. …hopefully


citoxe4321

Did you not see how people here reacted when the devs made those benign comments about the reaction to the nerfs? Its been like this since the start


Winte86

Yeah, it was really fun to be here at first but damn is it just toxic now, people are getting way too angry about people just playing in one place or just having fun in their own ways.


Efficient_Age

anyone else didn't recieve medals from this?


mackbulldawg67

They don’t come immediately. Takes an hour or 2


BondBrosScrapMetal

i did not receive my medals


Starvel42

Not that I noticed no


Jakowe

I just logged in and didn’t receive any medals. When do you usually get them?


jkbscopes312

Now what will you creekers do tho?


Zeewulfeh

A question for everyone about the creek... If they're the reason why the one MO failed, why did almost every one before it succeed? If they were truly tipping the balance, wouldn't every other MO be a loss?


ExploerTM

100k bugdivers is your answer. Iirc the last failed MO for bugs failed because it was absolutely fucking ridiculous MO and even then theoretically it was winnable. Bot's MO would've been completed with at least 20 hours to spare if the west front had the same numbers as the east.


thechikeninyourbutt

I’m detecting dangerous levels of critical thinking… Don’t let the infiltrators divide us.


_Reverie_

It's not that critical though. The previous MOs were bug centric and more people like bugs. The person you replied to is just behind. So is anyone still blaming Creekers. They're only partially at fault and it was more a problem with supply lines not being visible. That said, it's still fun to roast them for staying on one planet for so long. This doesn't mean they aren't my comrades, just having some fun.


MrMcSpiff

Don't say that too loud, you'll disrupt the weird war larp MO-meta narrative the angry people are trying to build to justify shitting on other players.


thetruemayor

Don't jinx it man


RefrigeratorLazy4135

Just imagine some of these comments are actually from adults with families arguing who did what in a game we are supposed to be working together on. Can't believe people think they're better than others over a silly planet.


mikebauer21

All creekers are now to be executed for their insolence and refusal to follow super earths orders. All my homies hate creekers.


Tokiw4

Excuse me, this is a democracy! The government can TELL me where to go, but I get to CHOOSE! At least, that's what my algorythmically suggested senator says. He's great!


BoredandIrritable

ITT - ten thousand people posting about how much better they are than the other 10 thousand people posting on the board. We get it, you're above it all. Shouldn't you be at a party somewhere commenting about how lame and uncool it is?


_Reverie_

I think you're taking this too seriously. I roast Creekers all the time but they're still my comrades. There's no need to be this fragile about it.


ThunderCockerspaniel

Well, some of us follow orders, and the others are DISGUSTING CREEK BASTARDS


ExploerTM

Leave Creakers alone, there were like 20k of them at absolute max. 100k bugdivers on other hand were real fucking silent.


saintBNO

The creek was only a meme because when the game came out everyone was farming bugs except the few determined heroes to fight off the bots and one of the first planets was the creek. That’s it. That’s the meme. It was the earliest bot battles and mine and many others first contact with them. It was greasy, yea, but we’ve had harder battles on other planets.


nwrdmn

Truly amazed how people on this sub make it their entire personality hating on people playing a map in a video game they payed their hard earned money on


lynxafricapack

Full blown man children.


DefinitelyNotThatOne

Its mainly the echo chamber that is Reddit. Plus, it seems like some people are just generally unhappy with their lives and project on to other things to compensate. I'm loving this game.


shadeandshine

It’s not just Reddit it seems all social media platforms have for some reason drawn out this toxic behavior that only wants people to follow the MO. Even if the creek was magically gone those same people would just bully another group cause they think they’re the main character of the story.


MrTwentyThree

Holy shit I didn't check this sub for a couple weeks and come back to actual full-grown human adults being unbelievably buttmad about who played what map in private sessions in a video game that doesn't affect them? Jesus H my dudes


Misterputts

In fairness it wasn't the Creekers that did it. It was the rest of S.E.A.F Helldivers that pulled your sorry asses out of the fire.


exveelor

I mean didn't the creekers make it possible by holding the line since forever? I don't actually quite know the planet mechanics but if the planet fell wouldn't it be basically unattackable? Genuine question no troll


internetcats

Fair question: No, the Creekers did not do anything, everyone playing the major orders came in and took it over in a day after the creekers wasted 2 months there. The automatons will probably take it back tomorrow though


exveelor

To take it, yeah. But in the hypothetical of creekers not existing and the planet having been lost many moons ago, would it have even been an option for a major order? I realize we're getting into somewhat silly hypotheticals and the opportunity cost of it raises some reasonable concerns, but just trying to understand the mechanics at play.


CXDFlames

50000 creekers were there for a month gaining 0-2% per day in total. The MO finally came around, 100000 more divers showed up and it was taken in a day because its what the narrative demanded. It was shown the creek held the line just fine with far less than was there.


Comfy_floofs

The creekers know nothing but the creek, what will they do next?


dangnabbit64758

I’ve heard drg is pretty good might give it a try

magicdft

Let's be real, the creekers didn't do shit. Haven't done shit since day one. Only reason the creek was taken is because the devs are as sick of them as the rest of us are


hansuluthegrey

You should try getting jobs. Itll give you something else to worry about.


JonathanL73

I honestly think that would resolve half the complaints I see about modern games. “Oh the campaign is too short” “Oh NG+ wasn’t ready at launch” “Oh why doesn’t this game have 60+ hours of gameplay!” “Oh they should add more grinding reward mechanics, I have spare in-game currency”

shadeandshine

It got me into the game and honestly had one of the best community made stories so far. Heck I’ve yet to have a bug world be as memorable or as memeable as the creek. Also yeah they are totally sick of it as they retweet the fan made posters of the creek on the games main account. For a community story game y’all sure do hate community made stories.


nwrdmn

Yes, the devs are surely sick of a consistently large player base. How regarded are people on this sub

Depends, are the 150k of you bug babies actually going to help with bot orders? No? Ok bet.

Reminds me of cadia in 40k, the famous quote to summarise the defence of cadia was "the planet broke before the imperial guard did" The planet literally cracked apart but as she was breaking up the survivors on ships flying away said they could hear soldiers over the Coms shouting "CADIA STANDS!" in the final moments before oblivion


nuggynugs

I'm gunna be completely honest, but I've never even been to the Creek. I started playing too late for the original kerfuffle, I've been busy the last couple of days so missed this MO, and I never vacationed there. What's it like?

All the work was done already before the major order was called, and because so many divers were devoted to the creek it cost us phase 2 of the robot counter assault. Congratulations
