PAYDAY 2/RAID v12: Locke Your Doors

[Borealis]

Have to say they did a good job on Duke. Good voice and model, and both the players and the in-game gang didn't know why Bain hired him until later on in the story.

When did Ethan and Hila get added to the game? The ones they have in game look like some crack addicted druggies

I just realized we're going full fucking circle regarding balance between players and enemies

Pre-housewarming: Years of player buffs and powercreep
Housewarming: Counter the player buffs and powercreep with insane enemy HP and damage buffs
The upcoming beta: More player buffs

I'm anxious and excited at the same time for the beta.

Excited because I wanna see how they buff all the guns.

Anxious because they have full capability to overbuff all the guns and just fuck shit up.

I wonder if they'll actually make the G36 useful on anything higher than Overkill

It's kinda baffling how the GenSec City SWAT can aim so well with their JP36 guns while the players can't, since it has accuracy drops.

I'm glad people notice that too and I"m not going insane, that thing still shakes like hell at 100% stability

The GenSec SWAT being "iron men" isn't an argument, either.

What about damage? when GenSec uses it, it fucks your shit up, when you use it, it's the king of pea shooters

Well they are aiming at center mass, for fucks sake.:vs:

But the head always has the highest damage modifier, no? Also, the various NPCs in the Diesel engine do detection by the head like various enemies in Frictional Games' Penumbra and Amnesia games, which is why civilians are "invisible" if their heads cannot be seen or if you are hiding behind a lampshade.

Look at this:

Frisk's head is hidden from view, and thus they're completely invisible because no head in sight means there's no criminal to see. But it's a different story if they were [I]behind[/I] that lamp, since they must move accordingly to a guard's position.

Please let this week be the week of the beta.

I can't hold on much longer.

Does anyone know if the [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmsU9Mn3s3E"]Silent Tripmine[/URL] thing still works? I should go in-game and check…

[QUOTE]Commissioner Garrett, you are no doubt aware by now that our organisation has taken the liberty of locating and removing the individual known as “Bain” from the criminal underworld. We are sympathetic to your frustration in not being able to bring him to justice and thus offer you a proposal.

There is a certain individual in Washington D.C. who is in possession of an item that belongs to us, and we would like that item returned. The individual in question happens to be a person of great means, as well as a member of the United States Congress, though not a very honorable one. As such, he has surrounded himself with quite stringent security and it would be difficult for even our organization to reach him and conduct a thorough search of his offices to recover it. You however, could do so, if you would be willing to set aside your oath of allegiance and strict adherence to the Law in this once instance, for your perceived greater good.

We are willing to aid you in your charge of ending Crime.net, provided you facilitate the return of our item. Tomorrow, at 06.30 AM, we will have an associate waiting at the donut shop that is closest to your office. If you are interested, meet him there and you will be provided with more details.[/QUOTE]

I like how we're going to have Joy lines for Bain even though he's likely still going to be missing by the time she gets added

That speech pattern sounds so much like the Dentist.

[QUOTE=Serge Ivanov;53114685]That speech pattern sounds so much like the Dentist.[/QUOTE]
I've missed the Dentist ever since our last contract with him was the Golden Grin Casino… it's like his words during preplanning are just him speaking through telepathy now.

I also recall reading that [i]he[/i] was a popular candidate as Hoxton's informant back when Hoxton Breakout was going on.

[Venomousbeetle]

Since they have a whole character as a timed exclusive I'm hopeful it'll be up to date. I'm preordered 20% off so I'll let you know

Maybe Nintendo is less annoying to update with

[Venomousbeetle]

Tomorrow "Silo" launches, Lee Enfield, Sawn off Shotgun, new grenade and "grind fix" come to Raid in the first major content patch.

So at the very least we will have two Japanese heister's with Joy and Jiro. And then whatever the fuck happens with Kento, we may have a third Japanese heister.

Glad that the dumb gimmick of OD is dead (for now) it was always a terrible idea for Payday
