This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

The instagram is actually Almir's personal account- a lot of it isn't Overkill related.

they're subtly different, but the real point is increasing your overall reach, like you suspect. we're in a brave new world where anyone can get newscaster-level influence in a specific area by simply talking about that area a lot, as opposed to lucking out getting a very particular job or setting up a ton of infrastructure to assemble, market, and promote your own radio/tv station.

there are SUBSTANTIAL rewards associated with being a credible influencer.

I pubstoved last night out of boredom. Arrived in a Big Bank to find three sub-Infamy 1 players slowly picking the locks on the deposit boxes and none of the loot in the vault bagged. (But at least they picked the bus escape.)

That's not even really bad, that's just "this game doesn't really come with documentation."

Agreed - sub Infamy 1 and I'll forgive just about anything that isn't actively detrimental, given how bad voice comms are/were in this game. Hell, the fact that it even needs a long guide when it's effectively a co op game with few heists taking more than 20-30 minutes on average (outside of specific achievements) says a lot about the design.

I thought you were going to post a real pubstoving story, like that time where the entire team went black and white and the only guy with doctor bags didn't deploy them after all 3 other teammates asked for it, causing a wipe.

Fake edit: doctor bag guy was 25-100 with 1300 hours logged.

About 7 times, but I'll place the blame for 2 of those on latency issues, when you kill the cop like 20 feet away and then the cable mysteriously pops off anyway.

I'm pretty sure the cops actually have nothing to do with the cables popping out, and instead Bain just bought them from the same place he got the drills.

Where are you seeing that from?

edit: nvm I found people talking about them.

So Mayhem and One Down difficulties. Looks like Death Wish has been bumped up to 5 skulls, Mayhem is the new 4 skulls, and the One Down is the 6 skull difficulty.

Wonder if Mayhem is GenSec Elites and Skulldozers without the Death Wish changes while One Down is Death Wish and you can only be downed once?

Holky fcuk.
It is going to be a busy goddamn weekend.

Also, judging by the icons, it looks like Mayhem is the new four-skull difficulty, pushing Death Wish up to five skulls. My assumption, then, is that One Down will just be Death Wish but with one down putting you into custody. Depending on how you feel about willingly inflicting pain to your own genitals, make your own assumptions about trading from custody. I don't think it'll be a new new difficulty, but hey, I could be wrong!

Oh, All-Knowing One, behold me!
Yeah Death Wish icons now all have five skulls so that is for sure what's going down.

I wonder if One Down will mean you immediately get put into custody, or just that you will be B&W after one down.

I would hope it's the latter, but you never know. If it's literally one down into custody, :rip: any dodge (aka chance) based builds, though

on the other hand, RPG griefing teammates will be raised to new and astounding heights :getin:

If so :pubstove:ing has just gotten a lot more hilarious.

I'm hoping for at least 1 down = graying out. That would make Doctor Bags semi-useless as you'd just need First Aid Kits fully aced out.
