PAYDAY 2 V9 - 900% More Chromatic Aberration and Lens dirt Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Lolnoob1;49991930]The Point Break heists were pretty solid.[/QUOTE] I genuinely think that they're some of the best heists in the game for [I][U][B]cool factor[/B][/U][/I].

Recent heists, aside from the remakes, have been steadily increasing in quality. I'm really not sure what's behind it unless there was some sort of workflow or staff change.

[QUOTE=DeadMansChest;49991920]That's actually all it would boil down to. It's how it is now for building weapons. It's how it was then pre-rebalance. "Does/Can my gun hit x breakpoint?" If yes, then you build on other stats. You can only go so far with HP/damage randomization till either suspension of disbelief kicks in or it just turning into an RNG fuckfest (because this game definitely needs more of that)[/QUOTE] I havn't looked into the stats in ages, what are the new breakpoints?

[QUOTE=Guiboune;49992061]even with randomization there's gonna be a threshold[/QUOTE] That exactly it though, people will aim for the highest threshold. Why would I bring a 35 damage gun that has the [I]chance[/I] to 2 shot kill a cop type that got the shit end of the RNG stick for their HP when I could bring the same gun, modded for 40, that [I]will[/I] take care of the beefier versions of that same cop type in 2 shots. [QUOTE=A Glitch;49992204]I havn't looked into the stats in ages, what are the new breakpoints?[/QUOTE] It's largely the same as it was before.

One of the recent updates modified the npc AK model to not look completely terrible: [t]http://i.imgur.com/D8dNdzN.png[/t]

Let's say you have a weapon with 40 damage already, which barrel extension mod do you pick ? Chances are you'll NOT pick funnel of fun because the damage it adds does not help you at all and it only nerfs your accuracy/stability. Fire breather ? Nope, again, damage does not help. Ported compensator ? No. Tank ? No. If you have a weapon below 40 damage, which mod do you pick ? The one that will bring you over the 40 damage without nerfing the other stats too much. Choosing another one would be hurting your performance. It's not a choice anymore, it's just a matter of min/maxing. To me, more damage should equal more kills. It's silly that weapons kill like this : 39 dmg : 33 enemies/100 bullets 40 dmg : 50 enemies/100 bullets 79 dmg : 50 enemies/100 bullets It has nearly double the damage yet does not kill one single more enemy. It should be somewhat relative, especially considering how small the damage stat changes on mods.

[QUOTE=Nickolas;49987503]I switch my weapon loadout every single heist Rarely do i use the same loadout twice in a row[/QUOTE] Congrats, I don't have the money to spend on unlocking everything. I've got some shitty assault rifles, one shotgun, my good assault rifle, a deagle, jacket's gun, and another pistol. I could maybe see me switching the assault rifle out for a shotgun if I moved my deagle out for jacket's gun but other than that I don't have any actual not shitty guns because I only play this game once in a blue moon and I end up spending it on skills and masks and shit.

I was listening to the soundtrack and musicbee changed the album cover to this: [t]http://i.imgur.com/xJcK2Vv.png[/t] Apparently there's a remaster coming soon, April 5th. [url]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DA9VVV4?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0[/url]

At least we should be certain that Jimmy will be part of their free event thing It'll be this year's John Wick like how he was added with Crimefest

[QUOTE=Finale;49994748]Wow, that was terrible. Were there any other horrendous NPC weapon models?[/QUOTE] Yeah actually Pretty much every single NPC weapon model was pretty terrible :v:

You're never meant to see snipers up close, y'know

You can sometimes bump into them as they're trying to move to the house roof in Counterfeit and get hipshot because you assumed he was just a swat. Also instead of giving them actual sniper rifles, they just stated in the FBI files that they use [I]"highly modified Car-4s"[/I] so :v:

[QUOTE=Diet Kane;49995531]You're never meant to see snipers up close, y'know[/QUOTE] They spawn close to you on enough heists to merit a higher quality model than those.

[QUOTE=Diet Kane;49995531]You're never meant to see snipers up close, y'know[/QUOTE] Except for those heists where you can actually walk right up to them and punch them in the face, like Hoxout.

[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;49995928]Except for those heists where you can actually walk right up to them and punch them in the face, like Hoxout.[/QUOTE] We all know Overkill isn't great at planning ahead

I remember when you'd meet them in PDTH's Counterfeit where they were completely unidentifiable from regular blue swat (Same model and gun), and they'd blow off 100% of your armor before you could react

Tomorrow the new enforcer skill tree will be shown, what do you guys think the changes are going to be ?

As far as I can remember the Enforcer tree was the least bad out of them all. They shouldn't change much.

It looks really fake, honestly. Someone probably made a good mod out of it or something, but so much of it looks really off.

His hair, jesus christ.

But at the same time they replaced the character model head and body without breaking animations which is something the public model tools aren't capable of. It's either that or they just shopped the body and head in.

It's either that or they just shopped the body and head in.[/QUOTE] You can replace a mask with a head model, so they probably just did a bunch of model work.

[QUOTE=Dougley;49998985]You can replace a mask with a head model, so they probably just did a bunch of model work.[/QUOTE] That doesn't explain the body model being fully replaced. Also the QA builds are getting updates.
