I really hope that TWI doesn't pull an Overkill and balances the game around the best of the best instead of making a fun co-op game where even decent pubbies have a reasonable chance of success if they use a bit of teamwork.

Is this not the same TWI that streams on normal difficulty and then offers pro-tips that really only work on normal? I mean they even named easy mode normal with this game, I would be shocked if they made anything harder intentionally.

I still play Payday regularly with some friends. It's fun but it's either too easy or too hard, they never found a good in between.

And also it has some horrible bullshit regarding mechanics and latency.

Ironically the reason I stopped playing PD2 was the microtransaction cosmetic economy trash and lo and behold this game did the same exact thing right as I hopped over.

Im like four achievements shy of 100% and the game just feels bland to me now so I stopped playing until it gets an update.

there's a goat simulator dlc where cops tell you to 'drop the loving goat rear end in a top hat'

so basically you heard wrong

payday 2 is good, or at the very least a hell of a lot easier to have fun with than KF2

That's true, and the 4k player spike was mostly due to the christmas sale price, so it's mostly normalizing back to the previous active playerbase.

Which... is still not much.

That sounds really dumb. However, interest is highly subjective so carry on.

Actually no, introduce a Neo char as the martial artist, level 25 perk is either red pill or blue pill

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

FTFY. They've already got a fedora accessory, might as well go all the way.

Still holding out hope. Tried playing hard and got through no problem solo. Add five players, and they're all insta-gibbed while medics can do almost nothing. The conductor sounds like an interesting idea. Moving the match around based on activity vs. straight-up player count could be a good way of not screwing over a team for not just taking 5 zerks and a medic.

Apparently the first version of The Conductor is live but only as an observer. It doesn't make any changes but I assume it's feeding data on how it would and such.

Yeah. I'm not optimistic. I guess it depends on what the bonus does, but if it's something like "reduces recoil/increases accuracy," my assumption is that it will be more ~~optimal~~ to just learn to aim better while moving, since standing still... Yeah. I mean, maybe for the first shot on a Scrake/Pound? After that, yeah, you're going to be running like hell.

At least they're embracing the fact that the optimal way to play this game with huge, meticulously designed maps is to park yourself in one place and only ever see / play within 5% of it.

Yeah I had been hoping the design would take us AWAY from this and more to the rolling gunfight style of play, but dang, guess not
