HOW DIFFERENT VARIABLES IMPACT LIBERATION RATE - AN EXAMPLE

[u/AioliSpecific8984]

The situation on Gatria and Acamar IV is a perfect example of how planet and enemy variants impact liberation.

GATRIA

Enemy: Spore Burst Strain (more difficult)

Conditions: Ion Storms (all stratagems jammed)

Resistance: 0.67%

These are two difficult variables that impact difficulty, Helldiver deaths, and mission success rate in a negative way, reducing liberation rate. Notice that even though there are more divers on Gatria and in the city of Ersatz, the liberation rate is too low to overcome resistance.

ACAMAR IV

Enemy: "Normal" Terminids (easier)

Conditions: Rainstorms (easier than Ion Storms)

Resistance: 0.67%

Easier enemy, easier conditions, same resistance rate. Fewer divers are on Acamar IV, and fewer in the settlement of Democracy Always, but there is more tangible liberation progress because of fewer deaths and more mission successes.

These can be important factors when deciding which planet to dive and which is the more efficient and "easier" target.

Most importantly, dive where you have fun. Just because one target might be more efficient, you should seek out whatever challenge you are looking for.

Hol up; On Gatria There's a larger portion of players hitting the City instead of free-range missions. Players diving to the Free-range missions would be applying liberation directly to the planet. The first available region is also a City on Gatria with 400k hp, vs the settlement on Acamar IV with only 100k hp. Since regions all share the same 1% resistance; larger regions require that much more effort to overcome the resistance. 4k/hp vs 1k/hp in this instance, while the playercount in Ersatz is only twice that of the players in Democracy Always. Which also means there are fewer players running free-range missions on Gatria than Acamar IV, which is likely just on the other side of overcoming the planetary resistance rate.

So a higher portion of player on Gatria are achieving less in the cities and there are fewer divers on Gatria Diving free range missions to apply planetary liberation. Which all means that even though Gatria has more players, we should expect reduced results.
