Tempest_56 posted:Also the fluff suggests that Green Bridge will only be rescuing someone to tell us where Kento is, rather than actually grabbing Kento, so they're teasing that plotline out longer. I'll be glad enough to be wrong if this turns out to be the case. Though I really don't understand how we're supposed to understand the classic heists' chronology now.

The chronology is whatever you want it to be man, we're re-hitting something because of old times sake or because history is hilariously repeating itself.

Since I believe in Heat Street Bain directly references that we've done this exact sequence of events before, I think it's the second. Still kinda dumb, but I think it lends more credence to the nutty idea that this is Heister Valhalla, so events repeating is entirely sensible.

UnknownMercenary posted:edit: I am sad that we finally get a Five Seven and it's got crap stats. I dunno. It's specifically for dealing with shielded cops if you're building around pistols. It's a utility, not a centerpiece. OVERKILL_Tobias posted:Armor Penetration: We now release the an armor piercing pistol that some may think will kill the use of sniper rifles but we believe that the drawbacks of the pistols compared to other pistols or sniper rifles is enough to let it earn its place in our arsenal. Have a go with it let us know what you think. It has high damage and low ammo compared to most pistols but will be able to make easy work of armored cops and shield units. When standing it up to the Sniper Rifles its low damage and accuracy but high rate of fire and concealment. We hope that this new gun will let you think up new and interesting builds.

That's not really an excuse for the gun not even getting a guaranteed pickup of 1 bullet. Even with a full pistol build it's not going to be one-shotting shields on a regular basis. Everything else about it is ok but it's got shittier pickup than the crappiest sniper rifle.

"We have made a pistol to replace the sniper rifle by making it have everything even worse than a regular decent sniper rifle. Instead of improving either original gun or bringing some of the sniper's capability to share it between guns we only just made a horrible mutant that no one would ever bother to use!"

The armour piercing pistol is also reduced in usefulness for another reason: pistols already murder shields quite well with aced Shock and Awe. So I would really only consider it for akimbo suit builds.

Yeah, tried out the 5/7 for a couple heists this evening and it's lousy. Could be good, but the ammo situation is utterly crippling.

I'm wondering if the ammo pickup is a bug. Crabtree posted:I never thought a community gun would be the worst in the game but here we are. I'm guessing Vox is salivating over making us use it for a challenge of some sort. I wasn't, but since you asked... The best defense... - Kill 30 shields in thirty shots with the 5/7 AP pistol. While I'm at it, Dance Party - kill 5 special enemies with damage from a single incendiary grenade. Basticle posted:so I paused the update on this dead gay game so i could play a good one then when i was done my 350mb download has magically turned into 10gb. wtf?

It's worth noting that Joakim is a producer, not a designer, and is at a remove from the less central stuff like achievements. He likely focuses on Tabula Rasa because it's a requirement for unlocking a skill profile, and the internal discussion over using it as a gating device was something he interacted with more. BE is Body Expertise.

All that talk about "we don't want to rush any balance changes" from those ama answers is loving hilarious. The gun balance is in such a weird loving place right now because they didn't want to walk back any of their HP bullshit.

Well yeah, but I never much liked Green Bridge to begin with. And Heat Street was only fun if you had a team that was good enough to not wipe at the construction yard or the storefront. I'm all about the Diamond Heist and No Mercy though.

Still, they should force everyone to play OD goat simulator for at least one hour or to completion. So how many more heists are we going to get total, assuming PD2 development ends this year? No Mercy PD1 Diamond Green Bridge An original heist featuring Kento ???

To differentiate him from the existing asian-themed characters, we're re-balancing the melee damage for a few weapons while using this perk deck. The katana will grant crits while spamming a voice line, the kunai now has 45 concealment, and the Kazaguruma has 500 damage while equipped. Otherwise, all three weapons now have -10 concealmeant and play a fart noise while using them. Good luck, heisters!

True, but that is a rabbit hole we'd never get out of, and Naruto seems like a much better fit for the demographics. Though I wouldn't mind a goofy arms drifting at your sides animation for it, a la Bodhi's trick with tasers.
