>he doesn't have Criminal Intent set as his main menu song

Friendly reminder game isn't going to die until Oct. 2018

ovk are gone for summer vacation so it will be dead for another month or so

...

Post more

So how exactly does one know if a multiplayer game in loud/stealth missions is either loud or stealth? You couldn't name rooms last I checked. Do they expect people to enter a room and ask every single time?

Also how do I make this game not run like absolute garbage?

what do we get trashly for its birthday?

...

Now set it as your profile pic and ERP with me

just let it fucking die

The host can select loud or stealth when they pick the job, and it appears as a little logo next to their name on the crimenet screen. If they haven't done that, you should ask and they can't blame you for asking.

>ERP
Sorry, I'm gay.

Quality OP!

No 9/11 achievement?

Maxing all weapon skills and using an LMG is the most fun thing I've ever done in payday

How? There are no flyable planes in the game.

Everytime i see/remember Alex Jones exists as a person, i wonder if he's just being ironic all the time.

Probably more like a real life narcissist who can alter reality in their mind at the drop of a hat.

It's like, that kid in school who bullshitted about their dad working at Nintendo so they know that you can catch Pikablu at Bill's House if you walk over with one of every Eeveelution and they insist it's true until you point out they're full of shit on both counts, and then suddenly they start backpedaling or screaming that they're not lying but if go to the ends of the earth to prove them wrong, it's just a prank bro what an autist, who takes this stuff seriously.

Except he's a rich and influential loudmouth with a microphone and a large following and not some 8yo on the playground and we never got past the screaming stage.

Okay it's bedtime for EU. Somebody cook the next meth batch. Good night.

I find it hard to accept there are people this stupid in the world without them being ironic about it.

I haven't played since why/memefest, convince me to come back.

>organize a gang of renowned criminals, heisters, and syndey

>can not figure out how to cook meth to save his life

stay the fuck away and save yourself from this hell

why do they go to the crack shack and cook meth there where bain has to contact psychics to figure out the formula that changes on the fly and not the hotel in hotline miami where theres a fucking formula on the walls and much more space for the heisters to hold out in
why dont they just make a meth lab in the safe house, surely they can afford it

white house job when

It's one of the comfier coopfps's :3

Would Sydney be better without those sideburns or still just as bad?

It would be a slight improvement, but she'd still be a dyke with a shitty punk haircut.

any news on pd3
why are the zeal snipers so goddamn OP
what do you call it when two players pick the same item at the same time

Nothing
Because zeals+snipers=stronk
Duping

go away you're not special

what do you call when a player picks up two items at the same time

If you mean spamming F at, for example, meth ingredients so two of the same disappear with only one appearing in the inventory, I call that bugging, but AFAIK there's no "officially" settled term for it.

>why don't they cook meth in the safe house

it's called "not shitting where you eat"

is there a real point to going infamous
after the first time i find myself wanting to stay at I-100

V-100 has tangible benefits if you get the original 5 infamies that lower skill point requirement costs to move up tiers.

already am

>reach level 100
>grind Crime Spree until you have enough EXP to take you from 0 to 100, but don't redeem it
>go infamous
>redeem crime spree
>go from 0 to 100 instantly

Tjere's not really any reason not to go infamous at this point.

>have never once bothered looking in the garage on the ground floor

What's the secret, /pdg/?

>cheat
>get fucked
>complain about it

The secret to what?
Here's a secret: you can crouch on the helipad around minute 5 on shadow raid to force the helicopter to bring a container instead of 2 guards.

>m-muh cheats
>give me shekels goy
fuck off almir

*didn't waste

ESL

the secret to not fucking up all the time

Don't open any doors besides security door and remember to bug the helipad to make sure no more guards spawn. You'll be able to bug out the guards in the warehouse so that they don't move. Easy to avoid them.

I don't get why Murky Station has to be a stealth-only mission.

Because fuck you.

>making money is bad
Fuck off poorfag

>the game shipped with 4 difficulties, Normal to Overkill
>changing difficulty changes intensity of police assaults, damage received, and what type of enemies appear on what rates, blue SWAT on lower ones, Greens and Tans on higher ones
>the same type of generic cop performs the same in terms of health regardless of difficulty, ensuring consistency

>Update #24 introduces Death Wish, a new, higher difficulty with a different type of generic cop
>higher tier cops (tans and greys) have increased levels of health, though to a relatively reasonable degree (40 DMG two shots tans normally, 6 shots on DW), breakpoints easily reachable
>Game meta develops based on a few distinct guns that reach specific breakpoints, narrowing selection extremely in favour of efficiency

>Update #91 implements major weapon rebalances in order to flatten the meta and allow more weapons to be practical, balanced entirely on current damage values and breakpoints
>most weapons have ~40 damage due to this

>Update #109 introduces One Down and Mayhem
>Whole concept of consistent enemy health is thrown out of the window in favour of extreme health scaling up to 900% of standard
>extreme levels of bulletsponge to the point that jokers are much stronger than the average player with their damage output
>weapons remain balanced around the old meta of 40/80/120 damage
>meta gets dominated by DLC weapons, crossbows, DMRs and other extremely high damage weapons
>the meta rejection bin gets filled with even more weapons than ever before
>headshot multipliers on generic cops were streamlined to 2x though, so that's good

What the fuck?
Who thought this was a good idea?
The base gamemode seems so bland now and I pretty much enjoy Crime Spree a lot more over it at this point since enemy health scales rather "naturally" and it's bigger gimmick are the wacky modifiers like minigun or medic bulldozers.
Not even mentioning the fact that Mayhem is somehow harder than DW due to developer oversight.

>pay for something you don't need to pay for

Me, now bend over bitch

I can't imagine playing this game with overkill as the highest difficulty, since overkill is basically the "medium" difficulty.

If the devs had an iota of programming ability, they would change higher difficulties from "bulletsponge lmao" to "enemies aren't completely braindead. Imagine if tasers and cloakers only tried to engage the players if they were capable of attempting a four man simultaneous disable, and if bulldozers always rushed in at least pairs with a medic behind them.

Is there a difference between the interceptors and the crosskills that I'm not seeing? And is there a reason why I would use anything other than one of those two for a gunslinger build?

3 less bullet per mag
1 less bullet in total ammo
2 more threat
0.1 faster second reload

All in all, it probably fall down to weapon mods, or simply A E S T H E T I C.

Nice Pay©Day® 2™ reference

Havn't played this game in over a year.
Last time I did, I uninstalled it because I was so sick of the major amount of crashes me and my friends experienced.

has it improved?

Ey Trashly baby, are you going on vacation, too?

uninstall mods

I didn't have a single mod installed for it, neither did my friends.

Meth puts of hella bad fumes while it's cooking. that shit gets into the walls and basically turns the place into a toxic hellhole. The hotel thing however, is legit.

Because the military response would be overwhelming now excuse me while I wage a four man campaign of war against a russian paramilitary group.

>do death wish mallcrasher with XXV and VI guy

Is there any real reason why someone whose played this game this much could get down in the worst possible spot he could've got downed in and then proceed get upset with me the I-87 guy who couldn't save him.

You fucking suck.

Only if you excuse me while i set up a base inside the FBI's headquarters.
