PAYDAY 2 V11 - Yeah! He's Back! Edition - Games

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;52100417]What were the terms of the contest? They could just say any entries are owned by Overkill. EZ.[/QUOTE] not really that simple since the submissions are a twitter hashtag [editline]13th April 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=rednavi;52100385]A day is more than enough to both pick a winner and make a very brief video about it (Considering that the submission is two days old by now). The entire contest was aimed at people who are already playing the game so doing all of this for marketing would've been retarded since it wont pique the curiosity of anyone who's not already playing the game to begin with. Plus, the game was already on F2P mode for 10 days so that was more than enough. Besides, pulling off this kind of crap when OVERKILL is doing everything they can to get back the trust they've lost years ago is a very poor move, they would only shoot themselves in the foot for barely anything in return. About the TOS, the winner being announced doesn't mean the author accepted it. OVK is free to contact that person afterwards and see if he accepts it. If he doesn't then OVK will simply decline the entry and move on. Not everything has to be in the clear to announce a winner right now. We're getting into Occam's Razor territory here.[/QUOTE] Trending: #MyHeister

[QUOTE=SXBIG;52100198]The rng stuff during Go Bank stealth is pretty cool imo. Except for the 2 Papa Johns cops that require you to use 2 pagers on them.[/QUOTE] You can only ever get 4 pagers on that heist. 2 in the bank. If gensec spawns at start, 2 there; 2 more won't spawn. If not, 2 more might spawn, usually they do. Kill them a few seconds apart to handle their pagers. Use Stockholm Syndrome to control civilians. Once vault is open, no more civilians spawn and saw will cover whole map. Police don't carry pagers and puts a three minute timer on the heist, more than enough to wrap up. A lot of people like to talk up how impossible GO Bank stealth is, but it's really hard to fuck it up if you know what you're doing. A little bit hard to handle the laser grid and the phone at the same time solo, but if you have a friend that's easy.

Maybe Overkill saw the dude who made a whole set to go with his character and said "Wow, this is a cut above the rest" and put that in the top pile over others. All we have so far is conjecture, not evidence. And claims without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Suspicious, maybe, but nothing really solid that can't be easily explained away with simpler alternatives. Until something more comes to light I'm just gonna continue to not really care.

anyone have any suggestions on making the most A E S T H E T I C mask possible? this is the best I've got so far [t]http://puu.sh/vjyg0/4e73a9e3b7.jpg[/t]

There's also the whole problem of: Why? If you're Overkill and you want to make a new heister, do you: A:) Just make the heister like you always could? Or... B:) Engineer a conspiracy between yourself, your publisher, and a third-party media company to rig a contest that you didn't have to start with the express purpose of entering a fraudulent entry into your own contest in order for it to win, with the possibility of being caught out by loyal fans and losing reputation on an international scale as the gaming media inevitably snatches it up for clicks? Possible? I guess. Plausible? Well, there's being stupid, and then there's going out of your way by a country mile to be stupid. This would have to fall into the latter category, should it be true.

geez, you guys really overestimate the extent of the point I'm making I'm not accusing Overkill of creating some grand conspiracy, nor am I even faulting them for what I believe they did. I totally think that they effectively faked the contest, but I also completely understand why they would and have no ill will toward them for it

[QUOTE=Judas;52101346]the downside is you have to wear an alesso mask[/QUOTE] That's just part of the post-modern anti-capitalist irony of ａｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ so don't worry about it.

[QUOTE=Judas;52100881]I do find it mighty convinient that the random nobody who won the contest had this nice little set made and professional quality cameras [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C9JBGpAXkAU3eCs.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Well yeah? Making an effort was the entire point. Lots of random nobodies have access to good cameras, it's not really significant.

boy, 250+ crime spree takes a long time and doesn't feel particularly worth it. it really makes me wonder who it's for, because it has the option of only playing the big heists if you want; I know a lot of people who do that already but don't care about crime spree. i'd say 90% of the people joining ~200 were very skilled players, which is nice because I can't get anywhere near that percentage on something like mayhem. probably because there's still the existing desire to get to ~250 and then never touch it again. also the modifiers just become number inflations every 10 at ~200, so it's not quite so exciting. on the rewards side of things, boy do I really not care. EXP and money is middling. ironically enough, the mode is probably supposed to act as a continental coin farm, but I ended up with way way less than what I started with after doing three runs from 0 to each of the milestones. got two armor skins, which would be neat if I didn't already open a safe. what a straaaange mode.

Rewards should ramp up the further in you get. Maybe at 100, you get 2x the rewards. 200, 3x. I don't know. Once you get the achievements and shit, there's no real reason to go past 100, just cash out when you get there. Personally, I'm stocking up on coins in anticipation of what MIGHT be an Infamy revamp. We'll see.

He'd randomly spawn unless you blew the toilets up ahead of time with a grenade. Also you'd get civvies who would be stuck behind fences, unkillable, that would end up calling the cops regardless of control freak.

Also the random events are very, very rare (GenSec truck or vault already open). Like, I played GO Bank a lot and I only saw the vault open once.

[QUOTE=E.C.S;52102005]Also the random events are very, very rare (GenSec truck or vault already open). Like, I played GO Bank a lot and I only saw the vault open once.[/QUOTE] same. just yesterday I had my second ever instance of the big bank computer working on the first time, too.

Long guide sez open vault chance is 1%, if no open vault 3% chance of gensec truck.

Wholly and completely fuck the Farmer Miserable achievement. That took me literally over an hour to do solo.

It causes a crapload of loot secure vents to open. Each time the 'secure loot' event ends, multiple wheels would be ready for drilling, allowing all of us to dupe 4 keycards from each wheel, and just keep feeding them to the Loot Event. We'd put in like 16 keycards in a chain. Thus, more loot vents, often overlapping.

im so glad we have these bot improvements now, i normally play payday in a 2-man lobby so being able to have these bot boosts is awesome
