We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

Hire me Overkill.

FWIW a factor in this whole mess seems to be that for some reason very very few resources/people/tools are available for this. Jules' behavior makes more sense if health and headshot multipliers were literally all he were able to change. I...don't fully get why that would be true though. I mean, OK, no special twisty heist-specific Death Vox changes, sure. But they did completely change the spawnpools and a bunch of AI behaviors with the introduction of OD, so it's not just that they can't change that sort of thing. It's still possible to make a much better balance without making low-level changes.

edit: I wrote half of "Vox Downs" here before I realized that a hundred rows of of damage/accuracy charts is a bad way to start a page.

One simple change? If they're only going to make loud changes, own it. Make all heists that can be completed in loud go loud immediately, and make the two stealth-only heists have a pager limit of 0. bing bing bong, so simple.

Talking with the filedivers- despite what Jules said, there were changes to some of the heists aside from the general loud stuff. For example, there are 2 additional guards on Firestarter Day 2 on Mayhem, DW and OD, added with the difficulty update. Why? I don't know. Thy did Jules say there were no such changes? I don't know.


It's more of a histogram of a multivariate regression equation, really...

there was a fair bit of evidence that they copied tons of stuff from Normal difficulty in the creation of 1D at least, so i'm going to guess a copy-paste error stemming from that

yeah, this also seems to have been what happened with several stealth elements. The fixes for that still haven't fully come through- some cameras are still missing on Golden Grin, for instance.

I'd buy that for 1D (why you wouldn't copy from the nearest neighbor instead, I dunno) but how did DW get caught by it?

I mean, whatever, but what a weird bug

e: also cash out all your gage coins before updating Goonmod, because it's rolled into the continental coin system now

I can only speculate from the code. It looks like several heists that did weird or special things with part of the map (Golden Grin's interchangeable rooms, Alesso's remasking, and the Diamond tiles) store their scripting in separate files. It's not really that stuff was taken from Normal, it's that the people modifying the code seemed to not check those files, or missed parts when they did it. The filedivers are saying the changes were all done manually, rather than with a dynamic line that could have just replaced the equivalent of "Death wish" with "Mayhem, Death wish and One Down", but I can't really tell.

So all the gage coins are effectively gone? Because I've been sitting of 400 of those things.

They might have ended up with a lot of DW stuff being tied to Mayhem, if at some point the difficulties are enumerated. Like, maybe DW was diff 5, now Mayhem's 5 and DW 6??
