Got to level 30 and was looking forward to playing Big Oil. I saw it once on hard and pro. We got to the second day and died because we couldn't figure out what the fuck we were meant to do in the lab during an assault.
After that I haven't been able to find it again. Is it like the Ukranian Job where it only shows up as a pro mission?
Sometimes, the community is just infuriating.
We were doing Watch Dogs and I asked them to not throw more than 3 bags into the pickup truck so that the drive wouldn't get shot up during the assault that was about to happen.
My friend and I threw 3 bags in. Random guy who joined just throws the 4th one in and runs off, gets downed, we save him, he runs off again and same thing happens, but this time, the 4th random player we had got downed.
We lose trying to get the 2 people downed back up.

We had this problem as well on a Pro Job variant. We said fuck it and carried all the engines we could to the pick up. We got through 5 of them before we finally fell, after having been pretty worn out beforehand anyways.
Big oil doesn't even pay well either, compared to other heists.
I wish there was an option to turn off Bain's voice.
[QUOTE=Steven :D;41831734]Big oil doesn't even pay well either, compared to other heists.[/QUOTE]
It'd be more lucrative if it did, but for a 7 star heist by default it pays really badly, it's a pittance compared to a mediocre run of Rats, and that could end up taking you less time depending on how mediocre it is.
To be honest I don't think many people successfully beat Big Oil their first time, I can't see how you could with the near-constant pressure of police and trying to figure everything out in the moment.
After getting kicked on several Day 3 Overkill missions on the last day, and playing an un-finished game, I actually want a refund.
edit: I'm not saying this game is awful. I'm saying that the pub community is awful, the game lacks more than half the content that was even promised, and it's just so buggy and feels too un-finished. I'd rather buy it when it has all the "30 unique heists!" in it as promised, and not having everything around level 30, with more than half the people you run into having "super rare infamous masks".
Does anybody have / know if the payday 1 bundle extractor will work with payday 2. I want to port models n shit from it to SFM.
[QUOTE=kwk;41831818] I'd rather buy it when it has all the "30 unique heists!" in it as promised[/QUOTE]
I don't remember them saying that, I do remember them saying 17 heists across 30 days with 6 escapes though.
People really need to start playing this for fun.
Joined two games where people were farming for cards and another shitty play that wanted to go for the minimum on hard difficulty when we had a crowd fully under control. Hell we had most of the civs cable tied.

A lot of us are people who played beta and had shit that we had fun with. We're also annoyed by the lack of skills we had in beta and want to get back to them asap.
I joined a watchdogs game. It went fairly well, until the van arrived. Nobody went for it, and only one guy said anything, saying "the chopper is usually safer" while being downed on the death-trap roof constantly. Finally the chopper comes, and a dude is just standing outside the circle, typing in french until he gets downed and we're berating him from inside the escape zone, at which point he starts talking fluid english over microphone. Everyone says "fuck you" to him and refuses to pick him up while he pleads "dude im right next to the chopper just pick me up. what dude come on im RIGHT HERE" when just a second ago he was saying "what do?"
And then I (and presumably everyone else) gets kicked.

I pre-purchased CCE.
I don't know about any of you, but this game seems like a complete mess in its current state.
I am really beginning to regret buying the game this early, seeing how optimization issues prevent me from playing the game at any other framerate than slideshow even with everything so low it might as well be Direct X 8. Half the community is making liberal use of the kick feature, there are still quite a number of serious bugs floating around, and a good 40% of the content we were promised is completely off of the table.
I am sure it will be a fine game once all of the chaos is addressed, but as of right now I am quite disappointed. I have had several rounds of sports practice as of late, and I was hoping to have a good time robbing banks with some buddies, but it looks like that will have to wait. :smith:
Anyone down for some organized full-team play after all this dies down? I will be upfront about this, I have no experience with any of the heists save jewelry store on normal by myself, but I pick up things very quickly and generally act with respect and integrity toward others.
Is it just me or is Ukrainian Job on hard/very hard/overkill way too easy while throwing XP and cash like hotcakes at you?
Found this on 4chan, thought I'd share with you guys.

so if you try to smash and dash in the jewelry store and fuck up with people in the van as it takes off, it brings you outside the world and you can fall off
if you get downed, your body raises to the heavens until someone can help you up

Not surprised at all that they're taking content from the game to release it later as DLC.
Somehow I feel like Overkill is going to become the next Hi-Rez. I pray to god they don't.
Just stealthed the Framing job on hard; payday was almost 100k without going for the safe. We managed to answer 4 pagers and have one person cuffed.
Anyone else dick around with the remix stuff? I've gotten bored and made two short tracks which I am going to use once I rip content out for SFM.

Now that's a mask
Shaped charges = Easy mode. Overkill nightclub? Even if you walk in shooting you can be walking out the front door with the money before the first police cruisers roll up with 2.5mil offshore, and 150k spending. Tiara? Psh 40 seconds tops and you're done. Crack any safe you find with ease, some doors, the gate in Bank behind the vault...
For people getting piss all irritated about getting kicked from heists do what I do. Host games, and play with friends. I never join other people's games and lobbies that I host fill up within a minute usually.

complain much?
christ, it's like you people expect everything to be fucking handed to you, they're rare for a reason
I'd host but I doubt my pc could handle it very well
On other news, the last day of framing frame on overkill is pretty insane when someone messes up. We had to camp in the computer room during assaults and if there was a small break in the waves of cops we rushed to the fuse boxes to restart the upload. After a while we realized we would run out of ammo with this tactic so I went to defend the fuse boxes with my reinbeck (it was the only reliable weapon we had against the heavy cops). At some point all in the server room went into custody and I ran around madly until they for out.
I was the only one who hadn't been downed at this point and as we made the mad dash for the exit I ran out of ammo and got tasered. Others got out though.
It was pretty crazy. Overkill is fun.

I feel like the soundtrack and everything else with the CCE no longer justifies the price of it. We were promised 30 maps and instead we got barely anything. Plus some maps are RESKINS.
AT LEAST give CCE owners access to the DLC for free.
Found a random group of guys who all had mics, we organized an overkill run on jewellery store and had 2 guys in the streets, one in the store and one who went around back to neutralize guards. within like 3 minutes we had all of the bags and just walked them to the van since we shouted everyone outside and inside down and used some jammers.
honestly, that is 1000x more rewarding than finishing a mission by shooting everyone up and killing hundreds of cops. doing a smooth organized run where you only fire 3 bullets overall and not a single cop comes is what makes this game the most fun
Can someone actually point out where they said 30 heists? The most I can find is a sourceless "30 locations" on the payday 2 wiki which links to an IGN page where I can't find anything relating to it.
Though I do agree that the criminal PC edition is kind of garbage outside of the soundtrack. The console collector editions got a fucking mask, gloves and fake money prop along with the other pre-order stuff for 60 bucks.
