Hey, are you listening to a word I'm saying?

I haven't tried it, but maniac sure doesn't sound that great.

Really, I can't think of any loud situations where I wouldn't take grinder for dodge or muscle for armor. Maybe ex-president in certain gimmick builds or gambler in a group of other people running gambler for shits.

As a matter of fact, I realized earlier tonight helping some newbie pals get sorted out that I don't even know enough about most of the others to speak intelligently about them, and I have most of the decks maxed.

If we didn't have health regen decks, it would be really good. Gambler and Maniac would probably be dominant. But like I keep saying, Muscle/Grinder/Ex-Presidents basically obsoletes everything else in terms of being optimal. DR extends the amount of health you have by what generally ends up being a finite amount. Regenerating health gives you a literal infinite amount of health. There's no comparison. It's the same reason why most people figured out that Grinder is obviously better than Rogue.

I'm definitely looking forward to Hostage Taker being much shallower in minimum investment thanks to that, though - it's not super-hard to get a hold of a hostage in a secure spot, and being able to commit 20-28 points to getting that all important health regen should really open up the field for experimenting with other perk decks

Read it and weep.
Putting the reduction in flashbang duration as a tier 1 skill is a good idea, but it would be much better if they used this opportunity to totally reform the flashbangs instead. Currently these are spawned randomly at players' feet (ie, you can't avoid them at all), often without any cops nearby, ensure that you can't see poo poo, and last for a stupidly long time without that particular skill. It's the most commonplace example of fake difficulty in the game. In fact, they should reduce the visual duration of flashbangs overall and use that skill slot for something else.

Why is bullets stumbling shields bad?

This part isn't bad, but the wording indicates stumbling shields with melee would not be a sure thing and the heavier hitting melee weapons would have a better chance of stumbling.

If you're wailing on a shield with anything and you've got Iron Man they should stumble 100% of the time IMO.

My game is crashing everytime I go into the inventory menu. It works fine when I remove all mods. I've narrowed it down toi my mods->Base->red>luia_mod_manager.lua file.

Is there a file that's interfering?

Flashbangs and smoke grenades aren't random- they spawn when certain enemy spawngroups are 1. assigned the flashbang location as their next target location, 2. when the enemy spawngroup "believes" that the assigned location is where the player is, and 3. the enemy doesn't see any players(or maybe the target player, I forget which). If you get a flashbang or smoke grenade, it's basically a sign that a group of swat are about to hit your location from an enemy pathing node immediately nearby.

Utter whiny tripe bullshit. These people scream like they are being bent over and done roughshod with no lube, but they continue to put dozens if not hundreds of hours into the game like nothings changed. Shut the gently caress up you whiny cunts.

Just got this a couple of days ago - has anyone else had problems with their video card crapping out, causing the whole computer to hang, when going between days? Not in the middle of the action, but in the loading screen after it's all over. It's an odd problem I'm having that I haven't heard much about.

Honestly, I'd take 50% odds on future updates of old heists being good. If I had some sort of red phone hotline I'd tell them to keep going but gently caress trying to interact on social media.

I've made this point before but Counterfeit and Undercover are like Go: Bank or Bomb Forest in that instead of moving from objective to objective you just guard a central objective point and then occationally have a fetch quest, its boring garbage and didnt translate well to PD2.

Unfortunately that kind of describes Panic Room also so hopefully that dosent suck.

Panic Room still had more movement to it than, say, Undercover; you have to get Chavez, plant and defend the saws, clear the roof, collect the C4, plant it on multiple floors, defend the chopper while it lowers the winch, secure it, then cover it while it escapes and escape through the basement. There's a lot of vertical motion, even if you do spend three objectives defending the roof. (This is based on my memory of last playing Panic Room years ago so I might have misremembered the order or objectives)

I want PD2 Heat Street, though. Imagine: you step out of cover and instantly get pasted by a pair of black dozers all the way at the other end of the road.
