Stream summary here Summary summary: One Down's becoming a mutator for any difficulty, unnamed hardest difficulty is to be less bullshit (Jules played it and won), cops to be little less awful in general.

^^ GoddamnitJohn Murdoch posted:So what is this beta announcement about I wonder. Here's a good summary. Summary of summary: - One Down is now Three Downs (presumably getting a name change) and "one down" is going to be a mutator going forward, with achievements tied to it. - Cop AI apparently optimized enough to no longer need nearly 100 on map enemies to compensate so enemy spawn numbers are being lowered - Enemy health caps out a current Deathwish numbers - Mayhem is getting a higher headshot multiplier to make it easier - Enemy damage stats remain unchanged - Crime Spree specific special units are coming to the base game (Medic Dozer, Minigun Dozer mentioned, no word on the Zeal Sniper)

Zeal sniper looks to also be coming to base game, along with the missing dozer weapons on OD. The minigun dozer is supposed to have double the health of other dozers, only be able to walk, and be exclusively dangerous at close range...The way it's coded, though, it's not clear how well it will work for that, and a walk-only dozer enemy that's just tossed into the dozer spawnset is going to create really high variance in difficulty.

I'd love to get damage falloff as part of the difficulty equation, but depending on how this shakes out in practice it should still make the 6 skull difficulty a lot more playable.

It'll certainly be more playable but I worry that it'll really just turn OD (they should call it Overdose so I can keep using OD as an abbreviation) into rocket tag, where as long as you can get the drop on cops your DW-ready build will clean house as usual but the second they get the drop on you, you instantly splat. It'll make getting the mask infinitely more simple, but it'll still be a frustrating experience, particularly on the same maps that have always been garbo on OD.

The one thing I'm really looking forward to is the reduced spawn numbers. It should make large open maps less of a pain in the rear end indirectly. Goat Simulator with it's abundant lack of cover was less of a problem when it was only 40 cops spread around the map instead of 84.

I dunno, if they're not actually trying to make OD any easier (while blatantly making changes that will make it easier) then the improved AI could counterbalance that, since a non-zero amount of OD survival revolves around avoiding cops (or running the game on Vox's lovely computer  ). And while smaller mobs of cops will be easier to keep culled, it won't really change how easy it is for a single random cop to blow your head off.

You will be able to die twice as much as before with a 4 person team all taking doctor bags, or actually be allowed to bring something that isn't that.

Tbh, I just hate that the game can randomly decide you die now, regardless of difficulty. It's just that OD makes sure it happens as often as possible.

I think I've finally found the cause of the weird crashes I've been having when I zoom. Turns out I still had the goonmod weapon customizer files installed, despite reinstalling payday. Now I'm just sad the customizer is gone.

Well hopefully they decide to add damage dropoff back in once the dust settles. There are actually people who are super upset that the current pile of feces is going to be improved upon.

I'm not about to believe that cop AI is going to be significantly improved. One easy way is to bring back mixed special spawn groups with tasers taking cover behind shields again, which is a very simple example of better enemy tactics rather than numbers. Achievements better be retroactive, because damned if I'm going to do Goat Simulator with 2 downs ever again. They're also going to do something about assault rifles, both the 40-damage ones (to compensate for the removal of silent killer) and the 80-damage ones (which are total poo poo now). These are surprisingly sensible changes but should really have come at the same time as they nerfed grenade launchers and other weapons.

With the repeated buffs of every other weapon type, I think it's time for shotguns to get buffed back to beta range levels. With Goat Sim and Heat Street, the damage falloff might actually happen now!
