There's a few GUI changes that they need to make:
- If I have the choice to buy a new weapon, mask, whatever, that "Buy new item" that shows up in that small box should immediately send me to the buy option. I shouldn't have to click the same worded option on the side.
- Be able to keep distance settings as well as a minimum/maximum risk level so I don't end up choosing Overkill-difficulty heists by accident.
- A visual indicator on the HUD to signify who is which character. Either a name or a face like in L4D.
- More graphical options. If I wanna turn off shadows, motion blur and other junk just to get a smooth framerate at the cost of quality, let me do that.
Otherwise I'm enjoying what I'm playing. Seems solid, nice and varied choices. I do agree with the cash problem, though. They need to add challenges back from Payday 1 so people don't have to grind heists to unlock stuff.

Crowd control might be simple to do, but if you fuck it up, my god
What is the button for designating a guard? I cant seem to do it
So. I risk leaking this information and making it get patched; but hey. The saves are stored in:
[sp]C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[User ID]\246210\remote[/sp]
I can't promise anything. But that's them. Maybe we can patch them back over after wipes, maybe not. I definitely know I'm holding onto mine at the end of beta. I only play with friends anyways. :v:
Pay rate in this game is fucking bonkers too. One mission, I'm scraping 10-30k. Next mission, I'm pulling 160k. Makes a hard balance between 'do a bunch of easy missions' or 'plow the hard ones out for dosh.'
[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;41589841]if this is a major problem now, what have the people in the closed beta been doing for months[/QUOTE]
Apparently bitching that Heavy Swat need a fucking imprevious chest plate and that Bulldozers should now come with a 50% chance of a second 'dozer. I'm having fun, despite the flaws and a few stupid menu choices (started a heist, failed, want to back out? lol new lobby fuk u.) But absolutely triple buttfuck the new Heavy Swat. They eat so much ammo that we're not dying because of lack of skill - but because after two assaults from them, a team of four is entirely out of ammo.
I'm absolutely loving the beta so far. The only thing I really hate is how expensive and hard everything is to get. All I want is a silencer for my pistol yet I can never get one.
Yeah the pay rates are kind of stupid.
You do a job for like $300'000 and all of that goes to your offshore account and "lol heres $15'000 go buy... nothing because everything is hyperexpensive"

u ok there
Yep, the money/payout system is frankly broken at the moment, and I think it probably stems from who the CBTs were, the ultra-hardcore-of-the-hardcorest fans - What works for them might not necessarily work for the broader audience, and going by how we all feel about it, it doesn't.
However, the game is enjoyable (if tough on two stars and above difficulty) and the music is fucking godly.
I love how the music builds up before an assault.
[QUOTE=postmanX3;41589656]OK, so this is going to be a bit of a rant or something I guess and everyone will immediately jump on me and tell me how wrong I am about everything, but fuck you I say what I want. >:(
-Rant-[/QUOTE]
Even though I'm having much, MUCH more fun with Payday 2 than the first one (playing with mates helps a lot in that regard), I agree whole heartedly with your criticism. I could live with it if they made no changes to the current system, but I do hope they will listen to the player feedback in that regard.

I know they've said they'll look at adjusting the balance of the money

Oh yeah absolutely, Simon Viklund at his best.
After hearing the music kick into gear in assaults, it's hard to play with all the blood rushing to your boner.
And hey, this is good beta feedback, they might fix some of the underlying issues for the final release.
At least they'll look at the payout rate.
[URL="https://twitter.com/locust9/status/360408673018851331"]@RecklessOnion you need to earn money to do anything. We will be looking at the drop ratios/costs/etc as the beta progresses.[/URL]

Absolutely, when Tick Tock or Full Force Forward is the level's assault music and Bain goes "Here they come!".. well... the police aren't the only thing coming if you get my drift.

Unfortunately we were just pissed off we failed it so we were just doing whatever, I figured I'd go mr. jugger-shotgun on the cop car. That armour is insanely good though! They were shooting it down pretty much the whole time I was reloading my gun (27 shells). :v:
Jesus fuck I thought they improved the AI, its still retarded as fuck.

holy shit this game has me hooked pretty tight
everything is a massive improvement for payday 1, and yep things are a bit grindy at the moment but thats what a beta stands for
also Shotguns ARE ACTUALLY FINALLY WELL DONE IN THIS GAME!

There's an annoying delay when I finish reloading my shotgun where I can't shoot for one second even though the animation is finished.

Heavy FBI pls go
[QUOTE=EDDY TT;41590784]Jesus fuck I thought they improved the AI, its still retarded as fuck.[/QUOTE]
Partner AI is still meatshields. They stay a LOT closer than they use to and usually don't fucking wander off like they do in PD1; but they're still mediocre and occasionally walk off for no reason still.
Civilian AI is a lot better. There's the rare "let me be difficult" or "let me stand up in gunfire"; but it's nowhere near as common as it was in the first Payday.
Enemy AI is.. well, it's different. Suppression is a thing, but it's weird how little they tell you about it. I've noticed I can shoot wildly near a group and how much they shoot back goes down, but it's all hazy. It has nothing to do with their AI; but it is frustrating how instead of going in small groups; sometimes the "director" goes "lol fuk u gais" and sends in twenty Heavy Swat in a blob, all at once.
[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;41590876]There's an annoying delay when I finish reloading my shotgun where I can't shoot for one second even though the animation is finished.[/QUOTE]
This this this. Fucking this. First game had it where they went "You don't have to pump after not fully emptying the magazine! :D" and then it had a delay just as long for no reason. In this one, it's just an odd delay where you can't shoot and it throws me off.
Got my hands on AK and... mag reload animation is just not right.
If I where to write the word "envy" on every goddamn cell in my body it wouldn't even equal a billionth of what I'm feeling right now.
Jeez, tuesday is just too far away. Anyone got any gameplay of the beta?

I'm in the same boat. Made a pack with my bud that I'm not even going to touch the beta until he returns on monday/tuesday next week and it's [b][i]eating me alive[/i][/b]
I just tried playing this with a couple of my friends, the first mission we did was fine, we almost stealthed it completely, 3 guys getting away with 9 bags of jewellery. But then one of the guys decided to change his resolution.. We can all join the lobby fine, but once a mission has been selected and loaded, the game will drop the guy that changed his resolution from the server.
And if I start the mission, he can't even get to the lobby, it just says 'waiting for the game to respond, please wait.'
Does anyone know of this problem?
We tried deleting the renderer_settings.xml file, so that the games settings are reset, and still no luck..
I told them that perhaps we should update our drivers, but they think it's a connection problem, which it might be, I just find it odd that it only happened after he changed his settings.
