http://www.twitch.tv/jamesblack47 Hoo boy it's happening, the meeting with steam forum moderators and Almir.

Is this drama over the microtransactions or did something else happen? I haven't followed this game in months.

Is this stupid people being entitled or is this a legitimate issue?

Wasn't the Completely Overkill thing an optional "give us more money for support!" on that train poo poo? Not that them promising a neat reward and giving you something lovely is a good thing but playing this game from Day One should have acclimated people to that, right? I haven't had faith in Overkill since the first few months.

e: Also if I'm wrong on the idea if it was optional support money let me know.

True story: After I play CSGO for a week I guaranteed will try and hit 3 to switch to knife and run faster on a "let's stealth it!" heist.

I do agree the "I paid the same as this guy and got a shittier thing" is a legitimate complaint but the idea that Overkill overpromised and underdelivered on an optional dumb DLC purchase isn't anything new or to be upset about.

Bring shurikens to stealth missions and this works fine. :colbert:

I'm afraid I'd lose them in my giant ICTV or they'd get stuck and jam up my RPG or minigun.

I have this hilarious image in my head of Jacket just turning up at one of the Payday Heist's jobs and just joining in for the hell of it. And they let Jacket do it because they're all loving terrified of the man in the chicken mask. :allears:

Hotline Miami is the reason my in-game bank account never gets hit. I will never not be Jacket, I will never not wear Richard, and there are no other guns than the minigun and RPG.

It's because Valve told the public exactly how they work. At least TF2 ones, I have no idea if CS:GO ones work on the same principle.

All Valve crate-key things work the exact same. Playing gives you a shot at a random item drop, often that's a crate. The only way to unlock that crate is to buy a key for roughly three-four bucks and unlock it. You can sell any item, crate, or key provided they haven't been specifically barred from being traded.

Payday 2's was introduced using the EXACT same model and anyone familiar with it the whole thing was just, "Oh, that." It was kind of gross in the way microtransactions are but eh, don't like it don't give 'em money. The only difference is that after the backlash Overkill made it so keys can drop as well, meaning every so often you'd get a free safe, and that contents of safes can only come from safes, never drop while playing.

All in all, I don't care beyond the fact that microtransactions are kinda gross.

I was born to click cops and Heat Street was made for cops to get clicked. Why is this one not yet in Payday 2?

Nope. I don't want to escort a van, I don't want to deal with roadblocks, I don't want to do that poo poo. I want to have a loving running gun battle at a fast pace.

Avoid the character packs and most of the weapon packs.


And then the rest before demanding an apology for making a video game.

srly drop the char packs and most of the weapon packs

What did Deathvox do for example? I've been away from the game for months so I have no idea what we've done.

Are the cops the ones I can see through walls outside of the bank lying on the ground insisting I get them up? If so, yes, the cops are dying.

Not goons sadly.

I feel like a jackass but it feels too drat good to wear the ICTV and know full well I can go pick them up without issue and not do it. What's that? Chhhhhrt you're chhhhhhshsh break shshshs I can't hear shshsh you.

They're not pubbies, they're friends of a friend. He and I play just fine (ICTV, never downed, carrying the load) and they just don't seem to get basic situational awareness things. Like the little red ring that points at who's shooting you? "Who's shooting me!?" is a constant question we get asked. It's honestly easier to let them go into custody and two-man the job ourselves.

I'm assuming you pointed them to any of the hud mods that make the hit indicator not terrible, otherwise this one's on you (for not pointing them to any of the hud mods that make the hit indicator not terrible).

Pointed them at HoxHUD, no idea if they used it. It would do so much poo poo for them. "How long on the drill?" "How many civvies are there?" "Which pager was that?"

It probably did take place in Texas in Payday 1, but in Payday 2, it's in DC.

This sort of poo poo just makes me think that elaborate ARG/mystery thing Overkill did was a complete accident. Not sure how a company wanting an inane detail-oriented thing gets sloppy like that.
