[QUOTE=ScriptKitt3h;48855462]Alright, finally got my copy of PAYDAY 2 installed, and started playing.
Any tips for an utter newb heister such as myself?[/QUOTE]
Start with lower difficulties, read the ingame information (inventory, skills, weapons, etc) like it's the questlog in an RPG, and just try to chill out.
Offline practice is a really good way to get to know the game, even if you'll probably fail a lot of jobs because the teammate AI is miserably incompetent.
Crime.Net really is that shitty. once you have a bit of offshore cash it's best to just buy the contracts you want.
Speaking of failing jobs, don't sweat over a failed mission or two. Progression is hellaciously fast once you're comfortable with the game, and the money you can earn from small heists early on is pitiful anyway.
Getting kicked for seemingly no reason sucks, but doesn't mean a whole lot at the end of the day.
I made a few icons for [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/sc_mod]my friend's mod[/url], he's doing a few changes to Ghost skills (including getting rid of Moving Target):

Granted they're just some modified default icons, but Overkill already does that themselves anyways.
All 3 of clover's challenge will probably be completed today
[QUOTE=Groceries;48855553]Buy Gage Mod Courier. Not just for the glorious Car-4, but for free sights and compensators.
The speculator sight is my life.[/QUOTE]
Wait a few days to start buying DLC. You can easily get all the really good DLC for under 7 dollars during a sale, and Crimefest is around the corner.
[QUOTE=DeadMansChest;48855550]The MG42 has good hipfire (compared to other LMGs). The abysmal vertical recoil only comes into play when you're aiming.
I made ammo pickup based on caliber, so guns that share ammo share the same pickup rate i.e. the CAR-4 has the same pickup as the AMCAR, at 1 to 4 rounds.
That said, individually round loaded weapons have a higher pickup rate than magazine fed weapons (shoving rounds straight into the gun vs. putting them into mags first) and magazine fed weapons have a higher pickup rate than belt fed weapons (putting rounds into mags first vs. putting them in a belt).[/QUOTE]
Ah, I see. Still, wish there was a toggle or something to forego that particular bit of realism and just have the guns all share the same ammo pickup by caliber regardless of how they're fed. LMGs just end up being fun to use for a bit until you realize you can't sustain yourself even if you're a decent player and make each shot count.
Also wanna thank you for making this game fun again. Like 550 hours in the base game, but these last 100 with your mod on have been the most fun I've had in this game in a while.
There's a reason why pretty much all my posts over the past few pages have been pushing your mod. It's just natural now to want to spread the love of an actually balanced and fully usable inventory.
Edit: Strike that LMG comment. It actually works fine if you just one tap dudes, but that 'spraying down dudes' fun factor is lost if you want to keep ammo returns completely even.
Dark arts is almost complete,it went pretty fast actually

Hmm... Let's play a good old game of Skill Icon Rorschach, First one looks like an SMG accuracy increase, Second one's increased rate of fire/reload after a kill, and the Final one is a living enigma unsuccessfully trying to enter a turnstile sideways

Three strikes... something related to downs?

Christ, is it just me or is this game getting more and more unstable?
I'm constantly getting infinite loading screens, massive stutters, and the game just froze extremely hard and made me spend like 10 minutes waiting to get control of my computer back while forcing me to listen to an endless loop of the fucking drilling noise. It's getting to the point that the only games I can compare it to for instability are Bethesda titles.
The worst thing I've ever experienced though? Something I've never experienced with any other game in my entire life?
This hasn't happened in a long time, and I apparently deleted the screenshots of this, but for a period of time the game would at random become this incomprehensible mash. Like, I would load a level, and then in that level, there were just, I don't know how to describe it, it looked like pure white noise of random spikes vaguely colored to what the colors were in the level. I couldn't see past this haypile of fuckness and if I moved or looked around it all shifted. Y'know when bodies glitch out in games like New Vegas and get weirdly stretchy and shit? It was like that was taking up my whole screen. The only effect I can compare it to in real life is that it was like looking through a fucking kaleidoscope. And bizarrely, it seemed to be the game itself, nothing wrong with my computer at all. The pause menu still overlayed on top of all of this and so did the HUD even, but the world was just a bunch of fuck.

Well, this is a graphically intensive game made on an old as fuck engine.
Imagine Dota 2 as it is forced to work on Quake engine. Not quite similar, but you got the idea.
Since we're getting a free LMG,maybe they could replace one of the useless technician skill by a skill that let you use the LMG iron sights?
It's a fucking Doge mask, kill me

Those are supposed to be rewards, not punishments
ugh
fuck off overkill, this is just a new level of dick move
You guys really think the trolls rewards are only troll masks?I doubt they are,they probably also unlock remakes or something
I prefer something more meaningful than dankememes.
Even though I love shiba inus.
I am going to guarantee that the vintage memes are the remakes of the pdth maps
[QUOTE=PaperMartin;48857094]You guys really think the trolls rewards are only troll masks?I doubt they are,they probably also unlock remakes or something[/QUOTE]
Someone a while ago showed that those were meme masks because he found "mask" mentioned somewhere in the code.
[editline]8th October 2015[/editline]
Can someone tell me exactly what the reward for Tabula Rasa is? It mentions a new skill slot, but I don't know what that means.
Oh, I had never noticed that thing before. It's just like builds then? Okay, never mind.

[QUOTE=Loadingue;48857140]Someone a while ago showed that those were meme masks because he found "mask" mentioned somewhere in the code.[/QUOTE]
There's a reason why they are called troll masks
I am going to be a pessimist this time, and say that the memes are just masks, that are there to pad out Crimefest. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that I am wrong, though.
[QUOTE=Loadingue;48857140]Someone a while ago showed that those were meme masks because he found "mask" mentioned somewhere in the code.
[/QUOTE]
Filename mentioned masks. But it has changed since then.
So it might really be PDTH remakes.
If they turn out to be separate meme masks, I'd feel really betrayed. Multiple Crimefest goals dedicated to dead/ancient memes would be downright scummy.
When still don't know if it's really the meme masks

Crime net overload is yet another example of overkill thinking their game is a whole lot bigger than it actually is. It feels a lot like the old crime fest where we were forcing friends to join the group or making fake accounts, now I'm telling friends who don't play the game anymore to get into payday for something they don't care about.
[QUOTE=DoktorAkcel;48857236]Filename mentioned masks. But it has changed since then.

If they removed the mention of "masks" when it was hidden in the first place, that actually might mean that they really were just masks.

Or just that they are really good at trolling
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;48857137]I am going to guarantee that the vintage memes are the remakes of the pdth maps[/QUOTE]
so its a troll-troll move by overkill? troll us by making us think they are troll masks from PDTH then we get trolled twice and instead get PDTH heists?
"jokes on u i was just troling lolololo XD"
Are they planning to put a doge mask in-game, I hope it's a joke.
