Chances are they had a patch ready a week ago, but couldn't update because steam would have had the gold release already

poptart_fairy posted:Yeah, haha. A level 28 guy was showing me and my brother the ropes giving us basic rundown on the new stealth mechanics - my brother took down a security guard and the 28 dude went over to use his pager, only for another guard to wander in. 28 opened fire and just let out "oh poo poo" on realising he'd brought the wrong gun. ...28? I'm 23 and have been playing non-stop since it released How?

I know everyone is entitled to playing the game the way they want... but doing the same heist over and over again, count me out. I was frustrated with the 3rd day of Frame as well, but I know when I get home from work I'll probably pull off a 100% stealth with some goons, and the gold at the end will be worth it

I for one am glad Overkill haven't given in to the great unwashed masses. They have kept the difficulty level up, and made it so you get nothing for failing. I am sure the forums are a seething white-hot slag at this point, but I can't bring myself to go near them

Carecat posted:There is gold in a vault on Framing Frame's last level but I think you can only get it if you stealth. Correct can only get the gold on day 3 of Frame , if you stealth it, otherwise you loose the gold (and massive payday) Hmm, we were wondering what the vault was there for on Firestarter We drilled the door but nothing was inside. Must be one of those random events.

I believe they fixed all the crashes on payday / card get issues.

So does it feel like the game has a tiny little bit of auto-aim? Not in the sense that your gun points towards the enemy, almost like the bullets are 5 times larger than they should be. Not a complaint either, part of the charm. It's not a 100% realistic tactical shooter like say Arma 3, but it def. meets my criteria for gun battles

Party Plane Jones posted:Spent two hours on this. I'm not saying its impossible but its really a giant bitch with the number of guards that there are. I'm thinking the pager perk for 2 of the guys, combined with dominator should take care of most of the guards. Since the most i've seen wandering around was max 6-7 guards So 2 guys with pager perk (does pager perk stack like that)? And 2-3 with dominator, should be golden That said I have yet to do it myself also, with a very competant group of goons

The thing is turrets don't fire endlessly, only at targets they can see (sometimes into walls, glitched that way) So if setup in a small killzone like a hallway, they can take out a massive group in quick order. I have seen turrets kill a bunch and then stop, because no one was there, then resume firing when somene stepped into the hallway again. But yes a shield will just deplete their whole supply in 10 seconds flat.

Party Plane Jones posted:We've gotten pretty far but what actually screws us is the cameras more often than not since you can't really take them out without every guard and his dog coming up to see what's what. There's no security room with a guy looking at the cameras either to take out. I really wish the cameras had some delay on dead bodies or actually rotated their views somewhat because if somebody gets downed in view its pretty much insta-alert. True, if you take out a camera no one cares , but if they stumble upon it and see they will call it in. However if you have someone on the camera controls you can tilt the camera away, allowing goons to come and go with the camera none the wiser

Tommofork posted:The controls translate really well to an Xbox 360 controller and I never had any difficulty keeping up with PC players. HOWEVER. You must be able to bind a controller button for Mumble though right? I know there are things like joy2key if not. Not to derail into PCvsConsole ... but I dunno how you controller guys can stand to play a FPS, that's the reason I got rid of my 360 was because I hate shooting men with anything but a mouse and keyboard

Also I have reasons for playing with a controller don't hate. Not hating, just curious  And I hate people who leave their mic open the whole game... I usually politely ask once or twice "Hey, hot mic..." etc etc I don't like listening to people breathing and making mouth noises, not even goons

Red Mundus posted:Due to incredible short-sightedness by the devs Day 2 watchdogs is pretty much impossible to complete with pubbies. Not a total loss though, the bag thrown into the water goes back to the initial spawn point at the pickup truck PS: ya'll arn't confusing dominate with intimidate are you? Dominate allows you to turn a cop over to your side, as an AI dog essentially Intimidate allows you to force a cop/guard to handcuff themselves without firing a shot

Below say level 20 yeah... once you unlock the AK7.62 and the Reinbeck, it isn't so bad But I want that sweet sweet gold. We managed (the group I was playing with from 530am on till about 245pm), to find consistantly 3/5 items Bain required to stealth the 3rd day. I did some reading and watching of twitch.tv casters, and it appears itms are a lot harder to spot than I first suspected. Hiding in couch cushions, bed side tables... I think it will go much smoother next time

versus posted:Ping is not really an issue unless you have above like 700ms or something; also, system link exists in 2013? This is why I laugh at all the people who think overkill Ukranian job or some such is the only way to play the game. Wait until you get until level 50-60-70 and that one Ukranian Job will barely erk out a nub on your level bar That's why we have big multi-day heists, so you can really get into them and are rewarded with big pay offs. Don't forget many of us haven't even unlocked all the heists, let alone overkill, and Professional for most heists

The Mash posted:A standard stealth jewelry store run on OK without fancy tricks is 2 guys going 'round back, taking out the guards and breaching from the back while the other 2 keep civilians on the street down and handle the police at the hotdog stand if they've spawned on that go. Everyone and their mother did this in beta, that's why it's a "thing" for people to ask about knowing the stealth way. There is almost no reason to bother with the guards in the back of the store

Cosmik Debris posted:Is there a way to keep the police from shooting at you after you start a heist? Seems to me they shouldn't run in guns blazing if you have hostages. It's been mentioned that hostages and the number you have help to hold back or lessen the assault from the cops. I also noticed it has a lot to do with what heist you're undertaking. Jewellery store, or Ukraine Job... it seems like an eternity until the assault starts. But things like the FBI office heist in Firestarter, the assault is pretty well instantenous

Lipton Iced Soup posted:How in the world do you manage to stealth the last day on that heist? Every time my group tries it some guard decides to just randomly go into alert mode, or one of the electronic items doesn't spawn, or any other issue in a stream of problems. Practice, and don't be afraid to leap to your death for a reset. We've had all 5 items spawn in the same room once, and other times 3 out of the 5 items are nowhere on the map Its mainly a good roll of the dice on item spawns, and knowing which guards to avoid, even if they look easy to take out. Always save at least 1 "kill" for the final part, because a guard will usually decide to wander in while you're balls deep in the vault

I've heavy into tech (up to shaped charges), and a sprinkling of tier 1 for most others, like bag handling, more sprint etc. Have yet to do a heist where I don't contribute heavily, in either shooting men alot or blowing stuff open

Robzor McFabulous posted:I've had good success solo stealthing Frames day 1 by taking out the four patrolling guards and doing their pagers, shouting down the security room guy, converting him and shouting down the lobby guy. That's the whole place clear and I just run around grabbing paintings. Only potential problem is if the converted guy runs through the lasers whether it'll activate the alarm but I was able to avoid that easily enough the two times I've done it. Sounds like a solid plan, and would also mean you can get through most if not all of the 3rd day quite easily too.

Liberatore posted:That's what I mean. If you have a laser splitting the gallery, which you always will, the Inside Man (or ECM jammer) option isn't viable. You have to go through the lobby if you want to get all the paintings. Which means you shouldn't access the security room. Just intimidate one guy and kill everyone else. 75% of the gallery heists I've done, we've never had a laser grid Just saying

Blunt Force Trauma posted:Re: the Tech skill "Unlocking the Sharpshooter" that gives accuracy with all single-shot weapons. What exactly is considered a "single-shot" weapon? Does semi-auto count as "single-shot"? Are shotguns single-shot? I am going to just take a wild guess here, might be way off. Since there are no bolt-action guns in the game, anything that doesn't fire more than 1 round when the trigger is held down, should be considered a single-shot weapon. Now I am sure they don't include shotguns in this, as I would like to think it is more geared to rifles, but are there any non-automatic rifles aside from the 308? Shotguns already have their own massive perk tree, so I don't think they would reward shotgunners even MORE But then again we have the Mosconi

poptart_fairy posted:Jesus, just did a stealth run on the Jewel Store and got the achievement for it but I hosed up so badly. Everyone else was taking down guards and keeping civilians under control, whereas I was out in the street freaking out because I put my mask on too early - ended up firing half a dozen silenced shots into every single civilian that lit up. Not quite sure if that technically counted as a "clean" getaway, but the cops weren't on us at least? It's funny sometimes the most accidental 'stealth' is the best.

Bogarts posted:They need to change the way multiday missions give out XP. Its hard to get a longer mission going when everyone is just grinding the three that you can do in under 2 minutes for the same xp. But thats the point of a multiday You used the first 1-2 days to build up the take, and finally it all comes together on the final day for a massive reward (usually) If they rewarded you handsomely through the first 2 days, no one would bother with the last day (Read: Framing Frames)
