I've been stuck at 89% for 30 minutes. Each time I try to start the download it considers it for a moment and then pauses it again without making any progress. Another goon suggested changing your region to something else. Whenever I switch my region I restart Steam and it's set back to my original, default region. I didn't even stay up all night because I knew release was going to be a poo poo show. What the hell is going on?  e: It's not let me change my region a few times but nothing has changed. Steam literally won't let me finish the install. e2: According to a dev's twitter account using task manager to kill Steam and then trying to download helps. I did it and instead of having my download immediately paused it's now downloading at 0kb/s which I suppose is an improvement.

^ Yeah if you're expecting a SWAT sim you're not going to like this. The AI isn't that bad.  Feenix posted:So torn. You guys are all positive, but the reviews out so far (disregarding the scores) mention things that might just annoy me. (And the mention of rather unspectacular sensation shooting enemies...) I'm kind of surprised people still put such faith in reviews. The game is fantastic. The gunplay is responsive and rewarding; shooting a cop in the face and watching his helmet fly off as he careens onto his cop car is amazing. The sound design, both music and sound effects are really well done, second only to a Battlefield title. Although the stellar soundtrack more than makes up for this. The customization of equipment, skills, armor and masks makes you always want to work toward improving something about your character. It's a good game. Launch is having problems but let's be realistic: what major release hasn't had issues?

Grapplejack posted:I got kicked because I couldn't hear whatever the other three guys were telling me. Why is voice chat so loving quiet? I have a different voice chat problem. It works just fine for me until I hit the push to talk key. Then everything is turned way, way down so it's near muted and voice chat is amplified, which makes sense. Except the volume never equalizes and I have to crank my volume up to hear anything. It wouldn't be so bad but I keep forgetting to turn it back down when I quit. I nearly blew my speakers out because my volume was turned all the way up. Yeah. And I just got kicked out of a Overkill Watchdogs after I held an entire flank on my own (they were holed up in the warehouse, I was watching the doorway, stairs and street). A low level dude gets incapped at the start of the second day, we try to save him, fail because he ran into the middle of an overkill assault and the host asks "what the gently caress were you doing over there?" naturally I respond and tell him that we were running bags. You have been kicked from the game.

Do we have any specific information regarding the Enforcer skills "Underdog" (limits damage taken/increases damage dealt when surrounded) or "Berserker" (do more damage when you're low on health)? I included both of these in my current skillset but I'm not sure when they're kicking in or ultimately how useful they'll be.

Doctor Shitfaced posted:Getting rid of the files worked, thanks. Also, the Super Shotgun is loving godly and everyone should buy it. Someone on the dev. team was playing Doom II when they designed this motherfucker. Yeah, seriously. If you're standing behind the counter in the bank you can headshot heavy FBI across the street with a single shell. It's unbelievable once you get a rhythm down with it's reload and get comfortable with the range. The only downside is when you get caught out by a bunch of targets at the same time. But, then again, anyone using any other weapon would struggle with that. Hell, I accidentally dumped a bag into the water on Overkill Watchdogs so I ran back to the truck with a buddy, he picked up the bag and we brought it back to the boat, no sweat. It absolutely tears bulldozers up too. With a little help from a teammate they drop insanely quick after you put two shells into their head. Not to mention what you can do when you couple it with Bullet Storm.

Does anyone have a link to that pastebin that gave us exact values for all of the skills? A few skills seem like they would be amazing or completely terrible depending entirely upon the values which are conveniently not given. Also does anyone know if Fully Loaded allows you to carry more ammo total or expands your magazine? The wording on the skill calculator and in-game are very different. This is what I'm currently going with. http://www.pd2skills.info/profile/mastersperg/ I was going with Berserker aced but I never noticed any meaningful damage bonus when I was low on health so plugged the points into increased shotgun steel sight speed (for convenience) and increased ammunition capacity. I'm pretty dead-set on my Mastermind tree with the exception of Cable Guy. fennesz fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Aug 15, 2013 |

Why are the Steam download speeds for this game so absurdly slow? I can understand release day being a bit of a cluster gently caress but I feel like there has to be something wrong if I've been stuck at 6% for 15 minutes on a Saturday morning. Also I finally respecced and went 20 points into Technician purely for the increased Headshot damage. We'll see how this fucker does...if I can ever download it

Bolow posted:The Renfield is fantastic, and better than the Mosconi when you have to kill a whole lot of people quickly. I would argue the Renfield is never straight up better than the Mosconi, at any difficulty, simply because of it's range. But when you're regularly doing multiple day Overkill heists and routinely running into rooms full of heavy enemies the Mosconi will out perform the Renfield every time. Two shots is always two kills as long as your aim is on point and I've killed four heavy FBI officers with a single shell on more than one occasion. It cannot be overstated how good the Mosconi shotgun is.

THE GAYEST POSTER posted:Is the M308 a decent weapon? I'm thinking of switching to it from the CAR-4 and getting the single shot perk from the technician tree. The CAR4 is the definition of mediocre. It's not going to do anything really well, especially at higher difficulties, but it doesn't do anything really wrong either. It has middling damage and very low recoil while boasting a healthy ammunition count. The M308, on the other hand, is a fantastic weapon with great range, fire rate, a relatively quick reload and it's one of the best weapons to have when you're activating Bullet Storm. I would highly suggest you gradually move away from the CAR4 if you're looking to do tougher heists. I'm sure a few of your are like "I use the CAR4 all the time on Overkill!" well, let's be honest, you'd be a lot more useful if you were using an AMR-16, 7.62, M308 or Mosconi. Pharmaskittle posted:I'm looking forward to the Doom gun, but I haven't unlocked it yet and this makes no sense to me. Does it fire slugs or something, or is it just that overpowered? The Mosconi is absolutely not overpowered, but, no it doesn't fire slugs. Just a really tight cone of fire. Even with the shotgun reload speed skill you're still looking at a full second of downtime between reloads which means if you miss a shot or reload at the wrong time and you're not immediately able to take cover: you're going down. fennesz fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Aug 18, 2013 |

DreamShipWrecked posted:Honestly, Shields are the most dangerous Specials at the moment on a normal map. A pair of Bulldozers can cause an instant wipe if they catch you in the wrong way, yes, but they can be easily taken down just by focused fire. This is funny because as an Enforcer with Man of Iron aced I can beat down shields into submission, pop Bullet Storm to absolutely decimate bulldozers on my own but if a taser catches me I'm probably boned because my Mosconi fires both of it's shots almost immediately upon getting tased Daaz posted:Nobody knows how to play this drat game. I seriously need to get on some sort of steam group or something. Playing with pubbies makes me want to die. Whenever I enter a new lobby of pubbies I always immediately say something on my mic.

Cooking meth is hard work   Insert name here posted:How's the shield punch skill? It seems really niche for 8 points but there are times where I see shields in like a doorway and I really wish I could just get them out without waiting for them to move. Fantastic. It's absolutely crucial if you're doing anything on your own or holding tight chokepoints like in a vault or a tight hallway. It's invaluable in heists like Rats day 1, as evidenced above.

Vargs posted:It's only 25% extra reserve ammo. Not exactly a gamechanger. Don't spec into enforcer solely for that. I agree you shouldn't go Enforcer just for Fully Loaded but it's quite underrated. Let's take the M308. You go from a capacity of 40 rounds to 50. If you're midway through the Tech tree that's a good 10 more kills you're given. Let's say your M308 is on empty and you refill with an ammo bag: you're still taking 100% (out of a total 400%) from the ammo bag but you're getting 10 more rounds per fill up. Avid saw user? You now get roughly two and a half saw blades each time you restock on ammo. It's a really good skill that applies to primaries and secondaries alike and affords a lot of flexibility toward your weapon of choice.

^ Played a Mallcrasher Overkill this morning with three other level 50's. It was like they'd literally never played the game before. Two of them went down 3x over the course of a minute or two and went into custody and the third foolishly ran to extraction even though it was completely surrounded by shields and SWAT. They're pretty easy to identify but holy poo poo if it isn't perplexing.Broose posted:People should be yelled at for wasting ammo bags on secondary weapons if they are not carrying a loco. Want an ammo bag to last longer? Refill when your primary runs out, not when after your secondary does also. (Does not apply to shotgun enforcers). Yup, I was with you in this lobby and the only refill I ever took that day was from the full ammo bag the same pubby foolishly put in the basement. I do wish some mechanics, like ammunition refills, were a little more obvious with how they work. I would wager that a lot of people think that ammo bags only get 4 uses total so do their best to fire every single round they've got.

Insert name here posted:Yeah it's a great skill and that 25% goes a long way if you're not terrible at conserving ammo. Acing the skill is hilarious too; if you're using a higher ammo cap weapon like the G36, AUG, or M4 you can run over like three ammo packs and get like 40 rounds. Does anyone know if Fully Loaded Ace nets you two shells per pickup if you're using the Mosconi? Because that is a goddamn perpetual ammunition machine right there.

Foehammer posted:CAR4 Rarely will you have time to plug 4 shots into an FBI heavy on overkill. Probably as gently caress but non-Overkill difficulties don't really matter: everything is effective.Just because a weapon has potential to be incredibly damage-per-shot efficient doesn't mean that it's the best gun. The Mosconi, and to a lesser extent shotguns as a whole, 308, 7.62 and AMR-16 are so highly regarded because they have fantastic burst damage potential. Sometimes all you have time for is a single shot and then you're either dashing for cover or forced to change targets. Not to mention that it's a hell of a lot easier to plug a guy strafing at a constant speed in a single direction once than it is to hit him four times while he's writhing in the dirt.

The saw does not work with Bullet Storm. Just a quick disclaimer in case anyone was planning on plunking down a good bit of cash to try it out. It would be absolutely obscene if it did, though, I still think I prefer my Mosconi "I just killed everything in a two block radius including those three bulldozers" Bullet Storms Pleads posted:I can't bring myself to spend the $600,000 on the Mosconi. I'm using the Reinbeck right now (with the green tacticlol laser and a surgeon scope) and haven't really found it lacking for group punch power, whereas I think I'd really hate to lose the capacity on it. Do you have the increased shotgun reload skill? If you just said yes buy the loving Mosconi. I had reservations, like you did, and then I bought the thing. There's a reason you see people chiming in each page or two talking about how amazing it is. Hell, it's even a phenomenal weapon for everyone else to use as well. I particularly like it as a backup in case my stealth run goes to poo poo. You just don't have quite the unadulterated killing power. fennesz fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Aug 20, 2013 |
