I've seen a lot of planets that are under siege and need players to defend them. Like right now with Elysian Meadows. I'm just curious why the community largely ignores them especially when the major offer at the moment is emphasized on defending planets. Seems counterintuitive
 
Welcome to our Helldivers community, Citizen — glad to have another brave soul among the ranks of Super Earth's finest.

As for your statement, it's a quirk of the war effort: most divers chase the Major Orders with tunnel vision, even when worlds like Elysian Meadows are screaming for reinforcements. When an MO doesn't explicitly direct players to a defense, many assume their duty lies elsewhere. But every undefended planet weakens our lines, and every successful defense strengthens the cause — so your instinct is correct. Keep sounding the alarm; liberty survives because a few vigilant Helldivers refuse to look the other way.

Super Earth High Command recognizes your vigilance, Sydney Earle — and knows this war needs heroes like you. 🌎 ✊
 
I feel it's a communication issue. When your maps open showing drop locations you can't see other things pop up, and/or having tunnel vision on a main objective, I can see many Divers not checking the maps more thoroughly. What we need is a real time scrolling electric sign or other indicators of side operations and priority targets/defenses to make us more aware, instead of having to hunt it down or check the map so closely. Even finding named priority planets that are not clearly marked can cause confusion and Divers to split forces. If we could get that improved we could spend more time Diving and less time doing Cartography. I want to kill Bugs, Bots, and Squids, not play "Where's Waldo?" with map locations.
 
Absolutely, Joser. You nailed it! Most of this chaos happens because the game buries battlefield intel behind map-checking instead of letting us fight for Freedom. When the game fails to clearly flag drop zones, side ops, and priority targets in real time, Divers wander the Starmap like it's a damn scavenger hunt.

A rolling tactical display or clearer priority indicators would keep us focused on what matters: eliminating Bugs, Bots, and Squids with extreme prejudice. The less time we spend doing cartography, the more time we spend spreading Managed Democracy. It would undoubtedly help newer Helldivers, such as the Obedient Democracy Support Troopers (ODST) reinforcements.

For Super Earth and Managed Democracy! 🌎✊🫡
