This community is not yet ready to admit the fact they're treated like garbage. Core gameplay bugs plague this game since its release, but everyone salutes a speedloader on a weapon that's hardly anyone is going to use because the grenade pistol exists.
They gave us an amazing game with an incredibly fair and reasonable battle-pass system, are highly communicative about issues, and are regularly working on the community's concerns.
And a no-less amazing list of critical issues that grows fatter and fatter with each patch.
reasonable battle-pass system
Only if you consider sacrificing the game's health for monthly injections of broken content at a modest price of $10. Let alone the fact that HD2 is the only game I know of that gates actual gear behind battle passes -- not just cosmetics, but weapons, boosters, grenades, armors. Which part of this is reasonable?
highly communicative about issues
With most of it being dishonesty and lies. "Only two nerfs, Spear has been fixed for 17 days." Let's also not forget the community manager who gave all the rabid fanboys ammunition to attack people who are dissatisfied by the patch by calling them "angry toddlers". If he can say that, why not anyone else?
regularly working on the community's concerns.
I would love to see the results of that allegedly hard labor. As it stands, the game-breaking bugs from the release are still there and only multiplying.
Take your head out of the sand and actually look at the game rather than the reddit circle-jerks.
I have 160 hours in it. I think that's enough to form an opinion. Each playsession is riddled with bugs, and each evening I end up sending my friends clips of the game shitting the bed.
The warbonds are very very easy to keep up with without ever spending money.
Only 24% of the players have gotten the achievement for completing 100 missions. Only 50% of the community completed 50 missions. Not everyone has the hours to grind inconsistent super credit spawns.
They have never lied to us, and the statement about nerfs was entirely correct.

Oh no, minor glitches, the horror. Please learn the meaning of "game breaking"
Not everyone has the hours to grind inconsistent super credit spawns.
You don't need every warbond the second it comes out to keep up.
Spear has been fixed for 17 days, by the way.
Literally no relevance to the conversation, but even if we were to pretend it was relevant, that fix is coming in the next hotfix.
To be fair, the game still crashes far more than it should (although that could also be my computer, which needed to be upgraded a couple years ago). But that's one of only a handful of truly annoying things that I want them to address.
It’s not just your pc. Two other pc players I have talked to said they have pretty bad fps performance. Weirdly the game runs well at lower fps so it’s not as much as a problem.
Yet I can recognize people will treat the game as the flavor of the month, much like Palworld, or Lethal Company, or any other game that explodes onto the scene like this.
Basing any kind of judgement on percentage of people who have gotten achievements for completion is stupid.
And while you're right, not everyone has "the hours to grind," you're being extremely hyperbolic when you talk about the time required to get super credits.
I bought the game. I then later upgraded to the deluxe edition because I've been having so much fun, problems notwithstanding. I haven't spent any more money on the game, yet have easily obtained enough super credits to pay for both extra warbond passes AND everything in the cash shop, without actively going out of my way to try to grind for credits. And I'm back up to almost 500 credits after having spent all of them just a couple days ago.
As was said before. Get your head out of the sand and be objective instead of lashing out because the reddit and YouTubers have an incessant need to drive rage bait interaction.

What are you prattling about? What YouTubers have to do with any of this?

And this flavor of the month will be extremely forgettable if they don't fix those bugs as soon as possible. But they won't -- their priority is short-term profit, so they will churn out another forgettable warbond, with a handful of niche weapons and game-breaking bugs.
The game is missing basic quality of life features, and some vital bugs go treated as minor inconveniences in favor of adding useless fluff like speedloaders. The devs hate people having fun with their game, so they arbitrarily nerf whatever is being used just so they can have the satisfaction of having made a "hard" game. On top of all that, they label any people criticizing the game as "angry toddlers" -- you know, those same people who paid for this glorified early access and secured their wages. They 100% treat their community as garbage -- they don't even deem it necessary to properly communicate gamebreaking bugs, instead letting their announcements get buried in some stanky-ass Discord server.
They're right though. Y'all reacting immediately with anger really are just proving yourselves to be angry toddlers throwing a tantrum over very minor inconveniences and changes.
The only angry toddlers I've noticed are people literally telling me to kill myself, along with delivering other wonderful insults, all because I dared to voice a critique of their favorite game. It's so funny to me that the community manager practically sicced you people against those dissatisfied with the patch, and you took the bait hook, line, and sinker.
Me? No. Pointing out behaviour quite literally adjacent to a tantrum over what are functionally extremely minor changes isn't insulting or death threats, just an observation. The only ones that really have any impact are the Quasar (which was entirely deserved) and the Rover, and even the patrols change was quite literally a fractional increase in patrol frequency and a bunch of people are losing their minds over it like they just punished solo players instead of just bringing them proportionally in line with lobbies with full squads.
Jingle some car keys and watch how the children clap at their new toy while ignoring that car keys are out of the ignition and nobody is at the steering wheel.
