Flat increases and decreases, amazing. It does feel like they're just pretending to be involved with the community, seeing as how almost no suggestions were worked into the beta.
So has anyone gone through and compiled a complete list of all the false advertising claims Overkill has made? So far I've got:
Safehouse customization
No microtransactions
The Valkyria having "three unique weapon mods"
COP items being purely cosmetic
COP items having actual effort involved in their creation
The Butcher mod pack (not sure if anyone remembers this but they advertised the free one with images of content from the paid one)
Not sure if the voice update counts here either since they've clearly been recording new voiceovers but as of yet very few have actually been added.
Also unsure if the "remake" of Slaughterhouse counts since it's clearly a straight port, the only asset not reused from the original are the enemy models.
Safehouse customization is coming in 2016 they said and slaughterhouse is nowhere near a straight port.
If you're going to bash Overkill, which I'm all for, at least get your facts straight

Frankly you could insert "Stole money from the homeless" and nobody would give a shit since Overkill is the master of evading any actual criticism. If they don't straight up ignore your question, they'll just divert your attention elsewhere or make tons of promises that will literally never be fulfilled.

Yeah no
Either 60 base damage/buffed muzzles+40 damage or get the fuck out.

Well they said safehouse customization was coming in 2013, so I don't exactly have confidence in that. As for Slaughterhouse, yes it is, the only thing changed is they dropped a SWAT van turret into it, they couldn't even use the Armored Transport GenSec van, they ported over the one from PD:TH. As far as I can tell the only new asset for that heist is another reskin of the Murkies.
when do the FWB and slaughterhouse safes go away? it was a month or something, right? when did those pages launch?

They made plenty of new assets for Slaughterhouse, even if a few models were ported. It's not a straight port.

It's not even close to a straight port. There's a whole new escape sequence, and you can use conveyor belts to transport bags.
It's the same heist, of course, but it has lots of new features.
At this rate I'm fully expecting safehouse customization to be tied in with microtransactions.

Turns out, your safehouse is going to be Farmville.
Haven't checked in here for a while, just looked at the newer updates.
Holy sweet mother of a shitting fuck.
[editline]Seriously[/editline]
Welp, I'm going to stick my head back into the sand now. Wake me up if Overkill / Starbreeze stop being horrible companies.
You know that's not going to happen
Oh that's nice, Gunslinger now works with akimbo pistols.

[I]But I want to believe[/I]
Like, jesus, I [I]want[/I] to say "Hey maybe Overkill just made a mistake" but they [I][B]keep going[/B][/I]
While I'm sure it's [B]very[/B] apparent now, they're using PD2 as a testbed for future products, probably for their Storm(? can't be fucked to look it up) IP.
Hell, according to an ex-dev of OVK I know, he said if that person making the leak on reddit had already left OVK, he might actually know who said that.
Hey if I try to sell my overkill skin for 21 dollars, do you think anyone would be dumb enough to buy it?
So about the Baitface mask...
The troll mask has been in Payday:The heist since 2012. Why did they care about it only now? in fucking 2015? And that shitty doodle has a copyright on it? lol
To be honest I don't even know why this surprises me.
Probably because PTH wasn't that big of a game, and those meme masks weren't even made available to a lot of people. When the Baitface came out for PD2 it had (1) a large playerbase (2) a lot of people [I]very[/I] angry at the game in general (3) a lot of eyes on the unfolding Crimefest event. So people who were real mad at Overkill and knew their memes could say "Hey, the trollface is copyrighted and he could sue. Fuck those guys, get that dude on the phone!"
At this point it seemes like it hurt the remnants of playerbase more than developers
I'd like to imagine the meme copyright holder filed it just out of spite for their shitty decisions as of late

Left is the new PDTH troll mask, right is the PD2 version. I wonder why the hair isn't modeled in the PDTH version.
Yeah, that article someone linked either here or on Reddit earlier said it's usually too big of a hassle to even bother with most of the time. This was one shitty model, so I'm guessing it definitely was out of spite.

I think it was more about this one quote:
[quote]If it’s a really minor thing, I can’t be bothered with it. It’ll take too much time, and let people have their fun. If they’re not making any significant money on it, it’s like, eh, not a big deal. If you’re publishing a game on a major platform and it’s using my image, it’s kind of hard to ignore.[/quote]

Just speculation but maybe it's something to do with Overkill adding the image to Payday 2 in the midst of them being really scummy lately.
check out my SWEET hand-crafted lovingly made R93 COVK skin:

I guess they were not kidding when they talked about boycotting Overkill. I wonder what else they're gonna come up with just to fuck with them.

I wanna say that looks like the most decent skin ever (besides the Battle-Worn) but then again
