This video has the Techforcer undergoing the same guard stress test where I position myself to eat bullets. The findings - it lasts about as long as the Suit before death, but with the Suit, I live. It also has links in the description to review the other videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhwYqWC60lI Please note that I have Enforcer health. Also, I read a post where someone stated they use the ICTV for RATS Day 1. That day is where armor shines the most due to how balanced the enemies are, mostly Tans/Plates and Green FBI. Only Broncos and 'Dozers really mess up the armor while Snipers can hit hard, but with a fair fire rate. For Suits, I think they're at their best for Watchdogs Day 1 & 2 due to how open they are.

The other telltale sign of suppression that they just added like 2 patches ago is that the cops will shout for help and generally sound like they're pissing their pants. If they're hunkered down and not shooting at you, they're suppressed. Even happens on Watchdogs 2 where they'll drop to one knee and duck their head down slightly as I rain hell down on them with an extra loud M308. As someone with Joker, this also applies to my converted cop, so I hear it basically non-stop. (I'm pretty sure it's not player suppression affecting them, just that the cops also have a suppression value.)

The vest is surprisingly more effective than suit, in Safe House. I still get knocked down when they finally spawn on me, but I can take about one more hit and still run away if I use corners. I still take five downs every time, but I am better at not dying. I am TechMaster. Really disappointed pubs won't spec to Inspire on this terrific map. Might as well try mines, since no one bothers to take sentry or defend mine. Scrubs swear by mine spam.

I for one didn't think Inspire was all that crash hot sounding, but I specced into it and it is seriously amazing. The ranged revive is cool, but it is the instantaneous revive aspect that is just gravy.

Only hosts games and then kicks everyone that doesn't do exactly what he says, has weird opinions on game mechanics (he kicked a guy for throwing a bag of loot, on a successfully stealthed bank heist). On a proverkill bank job he must have kicked 5 people and 2 others quit out after calling him an rear end in a top hat. If it wasn't a video game I would have assumed he was a massive troll but you know... Video games

Is payday 2 locked at 60hz? I couldnt find a place to change it. I have the frame limiter maxed at 135 but with vsync on it still caps at 60fps even though my new monitor supports 144hz.

No worries, we ended up cleaning house in there no problems. You'll be proud to know your AI replacement earned a couple Medals of Honor for the number of crazy pickups he did of us. That place was literally making GBS threads out broncos instead of anything else the entire time. I saw 6 broncos and a pair of tazers in the atrium at one point.

Anonymous Robot posted:Hahahahaha Mastermind continues to be the supreme class. "Ace Gunslinger tweak: successive shots on target increase damage up to 5 in a row (50% increase)" I don't think you're reading that right. My Twitter posts for clarification suggest that the "tweak" is that it has the stack to 50% INSTEAD OF being the current fixed +50% damage to pistols, which is actually a fairly significant nerf to the skill if it's just left as that. Thing is, pistols by default suck as a secondary compared to the shotgun and SMG options. They do less damage and more importantly, have WAY less ammo capacity. You have to put about 16 skill points into pistol perks just to get them on par with other things, and even then you're mostly locked into Deagle, Bronco, or Stryk as the viable options on higher difficulties. Need to hit 5 shots in a row? Well, the total capacity of the Deagle is only 30 to begin with and pistols don't have the scopes or spread as the rifles/shotguns do to ensure accuracy. Most people--okay, me--are not going to hit more than 5 times in a row, especially with the recoil on the Bronco and Stryk (hundreds of hours in and still no Velocity barrel or stock). I proposed that if they ace Gunslinger to be a stack, then they should at least give us a higher ammo capacity for the pistols in return since while the headless Bulldozers may vanish after this Halloween event, an equivalent "headshot immune" version will remain in its place. For pistols to remain worth the heavy skill point investment, we'd need more bullets. Otherwise, why not just respec those 16 points into Enforcer (28 in my case, since Ace Gunslinger is what makes Pistol Messiah viable to Ace for Overkill difficulty)?

The only use I could see ECMs having would be if someone on the team has ECM feedback, since ECM feedback affects Dozers. It'd be a good way to restart the drill without having to worry about getting downed.

In theory you could use Feedback with them to get some breathing room during a really bad rush, but it's just as likely to be a product of most people not understanding that even just the one point drop for each tree's deployable is an amazing investment for your own versatility. So yes, the lesson is pretty much avoid pubbing it (I say, having never played a dedicated goon game).

The host of a game just quit bec a use he rushed out to grab a loot bag during an assault on Overkill and when he went down he started screaching, "NOT REZZING ME IS UNACCEPTABLE! YOU WOULD DIE IF THIS WERE REAL!" about four times and then bailed. None of us even had a chance to react and respond to his bullshit. I haven't loved and hated a game this much since APB.

Tried some VS back in my L4D days, and it was more than enough. I'd rather just wait until my friends have the time and do some runs, than to let some fuckwit rob me of my precious moments of relaxation. I'd even prefer trying to solo some heist to playing with unknown people.

I need to stop playing with pubbies. I was playing firestarter today with some people across the world and they wanted to stealth every day in full armor with barely any concealment bonus. 2 of them didn't even bring silenced weapons. Unfortunately I ended up loving up the 3rd day by "running into" a guard during casing mode. I use quotes because I basically turned a corner, saw him coming and moved right back down the hallway yet he spotted me when I was at the end of the hall because of the high ping. One of the main reasons I solo stealth since I still get some lag even when I'm playing with people near me. Jim DiGriz posted:Don't hate the game, hate the playa. This game is slightly better with pubs than L4D. L4D2 has some of the worst pubbies ever. Literally 80% of L4D2 VS pubbies will quit if they aren't winning/stomping the other team by the end of the 1st round. At least in this game half of your crew won't quit when one thing goes wrong.

It would be interesting if you had one crew tunneling through the floor of the vault at the same time someone was drilling the door. Some kind of competetion or interaction between gangs could be interesting. You might open it up either to find the vault mostly looted with a conspicuous hole in the floor/'gently caress-you-got-mine greeting card', but perhaps the teams are closely matched; now there's this strange bunch of dudes in masks blankly staring at you with bags of cash on their backs. A mad scramble to snag as much loot as possible for your crew begins.
