There's nothing like the feeling you have when you mask up in the back of the building when everything's still quiet and you're creeping around a corner to subdue a guard, and there's no rush quite like the one that happens when you're tiptoeing around and someone trips the alarm and suddenly everyone's calling audibles and adjusting to the upcoming assault. You get that feeling every goddamn round. I loving love this game. OP posted:Please use a mic if you have one Can't stress this enough.

Zuhzuhzombie!! posted:If I want to start a low level jewelry heist, how do I host a game on that level if there are already people playing it in Crime.net? You see the heists that show up with icons as countdown timers instead of silhouettes of players? Wait for the heist you want to show up with a countdown timer and select that one. That's you making a fresh lobby instead of joining someone else. Set your search to friends only to make it easier to spot.

Xaris posted:Voice chat in this game is REALLY hosed up. If anyone has a solution, let me know. Everyone sounds quiet to me despite having it boosted and turning everything else down. Honestly, once I turn down the music and game volume nearly all the way down and turn voice all the way up it's fine for me. Make sure Windows isn't loving around with your volumes when it detects communication activity. The post above mine tells you how to check that. That being said, use Mumble.

Liberatore posted:Only with Dominator, and there's a limit of one guard per team intimidated with it. You can get more if you convert the guy afterwards (with Joker) but that's risky in a stealth run as he'll shoot any guards he sees. This is not true. I have had multiple dominated at the same time, you just can't convert more than one at a time.

GotLag posted:This is probably common knowledge, but you can do day 2 of Framing Frame really easily despite the SWAT ambush: throw up all the paintings but one, and everyone except for the player with the last painting takes the money to the van and waits there. The last guy throws the painting, grabs the cash, and legs it for the van. If he makes it, he makes it. If he dies, everyone else is at the van and escapes as soon as he gets taken into custody. Son of a bitch. I did notice the front door was open, but I assumed that if anyone went out that poo poo would get real. Will have to try this out.

All this talk of visibility is confusing me a bit. Does it really make that much of a difference? I still sneak past cameras and guards in full gently caress-you gear with double shotguns... I can't recall a time where it really mattered. I understand switching to something lighter for speed, but not visibility.

The bigger problem is it's teaching a lovely behavior. The fix should be telling people to reinstall dx9, not teaching them that downloading files from random people on the Internet is a good thing to do.

Kind of annoyed that they said "It's a valid tactic" when asked about interacting through walls/etc and then did a 180. Oh well. Converted enemies not having a pager when they die is important - if you used all four of your pager calls and some dickhead pops him on the way out you won't have blown your cover. If you panic-dominate someone in the middle of the room this also may let you take him out and move the body, but I've got aced joker and it would nearly loving impossible to take a tank out silently. I'm glad it didn't gently caress me up in the middle of my mission. Just finished solo stealthing a very hard Framing Frame. That poo poo was awesome.

Slim Killington posted:or not being able to intimidate from behind undetected? Why do I still have to stand in a guard's face for two entire seconds before successfully shouting? Absolutely. If anything, sneaking up behind a guard and shouting at him should be the most likely intimidation to succeed. Or could you imagine walking right up to a guard with your pistol out and pulling some serious stealth poo poo? Like holding use for a couple seconds makes you put the pistol into his back, cover his mouth and say something like "Move and you're dead." Then you get to drag him off to a dark corner and leave him cuffed. It may sound overpowered but being out in the open keeps it reasonable, I think. Mix that with a chance that your guard is a superhero and punches you in the face instead of complying.

Mr Scumbag posted:Edit: Maybe I'm a bit insane, but I think the best, least obtrusive way to discourage speedrun/grinding would be to have the RNG at the end of heists payout relative to the mission. Ukranian jobs would give a 80% chance of a cash card, 15% chance of a gun mod and a 5% chance for a mask. Rats would give an 80% chance of a mask, and a 20% chance for a gun mod. No cash drops in multi days. there, you now have people doing multi days cause they know they'll probably get phat cosmetic poo poo and know they won't get screwed with cash. You're assuming that everyone wants the same thing. There's a shitton of weapon attachments that I'd like to try out, meanwhile I have a whole page of masks that I don't need because I'm rocking that infamous Cthulhu. Perhaps it should be weighted according to the player's inventory. If I have 30 masks but only 4 unique weapon mods, then I probably want mods more than masks. That kind of stuff.

quote:However - the safe house customization has never been promised at release! When you go through the safe house, even Bain confirms that you'll be able to customize it down the line.  Did anyone honestly take the phrase "down the line" as meaning "when we add it into the game" and not "when you have cash and poo poo?" It seems OK is terrified to admit that they may have released earlier than intended or maybe would have been wise, and then in the next breath talk about stuff that was cut from release. I personally don't care - OK has been doing a great job and I'm sure this stuff is coming in due time, just don't play semantics with me.

For the record, as soon as the doors open you should have a mastermind (ideally) sprinting towards the street to control the three workers. They seem to spawn in an agitated state so if they aren't dealt with shortly they phone the police.

I'm really getting annoyed with the BS justifications for blowing stealth. Just ran a jewelery store where I took out the guards round back, shot the side window with silenced pistol (doesn't alert anyone unless they're in the room) and got everyone in the store down. One guy in the street got curious so I dropped an ECM in the bank and ran out to the street and got everyone down. Popped the guy across the street who was on the phone but hadn't alerted yet, got everyone else down and started tying them up. As soon as I tied the last guy in the street, the alarm went off and the reason given was "A civilian heard a window break and called the police." One window was broken, probably a full two minutes before that point. Hadn't started looting yet. I'm doing dry runs to improve my stealth game, but without constructive feedback it's drat near futile. They really should show you after the fact who called the cops. Something like a flashback or killcam like TF2/CoD/whatever. If the worry is that people will somehow mold themselves into perfect criminals too quickly or something, make it only happen if you complete the heist successfully.

We stealthed it with a goonsquad a few days ago which was my first runthrough. It was a Pro Overkill job, and none of us realized/remembered that even if you stealth the rest of the mission, the helicopter alerts the cops. We were all kitted out for stealth, wearing suits and carrying silenced secondaries. It was the third engine we tried, and all four of us made it out alive. That was a hell of a rush.
