Looking forward to picking this up. I've been craving something new for Xbox for a while.

Looks like it activates around 7 tonight, pre-load is available.

Tried using a controller in the beta, feels terrible. Not just in terms of usual controller vs mouse, it is incredibly floaty on a gamepad.

 

[Syphoncom]

Yeah I haven't had a chance to activate the beta (shitty RL stuff), but I'll get the preload up and jump on tonight. Anyone here keen? I think someone added me, but might not be from here.

 

[silverscope]

Pre-loading now.

Hit me up on steam (check signature) for a game later tonight when it's activated.

 

[silverscope]

Totally unlocked.

KGONOW!

WARNING:

I've had a few game crashes right at the end of a heist just before you select a card meaning I lost all money/XP etc.

Verify Game Cache and restart steam. I did that and BAM 650mb Patch. Hopefully this fixes the issue.

 

[Syphoncom]

Totally forgot about the game, tried to launch and stuck at 98% (preloaded).

Apparently this is an issue for hundreds of people (at least those who have posted on the steam board), I think it has something to do with the servers being overloaded with people trying to play!

Should have it up soon enough though

Finished downloading, did the opening mission and had a freeze at the end of the mission when trying to pick the card. I've downloaded the update too, so that's... disappointing.

Edit:

Happened twice since; finishing a mission only to have it freeze. Frustrating!

But having said that, just shy of level 10 atm and will probably call it, but the game seems fun. Not sure how it'll be considering there are already repetitive aspects, but that's just gaming with randoms.

Briefly saw there's the option to remain undetected through a mission, if people are chatting (need to have other sounds turned down though to be able to hear anything), seems like it could be fun

Sounds like it's a smooth game.

 

[mickelboy182]

Had a few heists last night, zero crashes after verifying the cache. As far as multiplayer specific launches go it was pretty smooth in all honestly.

This seems to be doing really well on Steam. 3rd most popular game just behind TF2. Congrats to the devs, can't wait to pick it up.

Yep same here. Once I verified and restarted Steam it was all good from there

 

[Syphoncom]

I verified and restarted, but did get another update late last night, around midnight. Seems to be fine since then, but frustrating thing was completing a big heist just prior and getting another freeze!

Without reading any guides/manuals I'm going off my WOW raiding days with the skill tree, looks pretty fun in that regard. Unsure as to how often you get to pick cards up, but I did notice that completing a hard, or very? hard mission rewarded ridiculously higher rewards. Thousands of XP potential vs 400 for my last one.

I did hit level 10 though, 1 more level to unlock the sentry gun. Will be interesting to see how that goes. Does seem like unless you play with the same people and check your personal scores against one another, it's a bit difficult to distinguish how each individual is doing.

 

[silverscope]

Sentry gun is great. I had it in beta and that's the path I'll be taking again.

Yes the yellow missions are always good to start with esp Jewellery store Hard/Very Hard. Easy XP and money right there.

The stats are a bit hard to see especially if you are not the host as generally the host flies through that section. I like, as host, to look at individual stats and team highs.

Be nice if we had a screen with each individual score that highlighted the top in each section (accuracy, body count etc.) instead of the switch between personal and top.

 

[mickelboy182]

Sentry gun is terrible! Seriously, I'm most playing as a Ghost/Technician hybrid and there is no way you can justify putting the points into the sentry gun. It's a cool party trick but is bereft of usability and usefulness when it comes down to it.

 

[Syphoncom]

The issue for me, having not played the beta, is that all trees look average.

Having played WoW for such a long time, most games I can look at skill trees and easily identify what is going to be the best route. Obviously in Payday 2 you've still got a similar route of being able to have an Enforcer/Tank, Medic, DPS, DPS focused squad.

I think it's viable being able to drop 2 sentry guns, but not having too much experience (I'm still only level 20 now), I'm not sure how that will stack up.

I do know in some of the heists so far we've had some sketchy situations, especially those where we've been trying to max out the run (get all the Coke bags, Day 2 on VH), and it's been a bit of a lifesaver at times. I'm not so sure that going up another route, or anything else would've helped as much (if not more) anyway.

Still, I haven't found many theorycrafting sources on the internet yet, I am waiting for more info to spring up from those who have the time nowadays

 

[silverscope]

Look even if it doesn't work out you can always respec your points until you get it right.

[Syphoncom]

Been hitting up Pro/Overkill/Jewellery Heist.

19k xp ftw!

 

[LeverPuller]

great game, got into it today, belted out 6 hours or so after uni. Hit mid-20s. Really gets tough on the higher difficulties and some of the missions are probably uncrackable on Overkill until you're up in the 50s with the perks.

Add me - random_0ne - if you're up for a game.

EDIT: Also, if you want to make megabucks, Firestarter is where it's at.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Up to level 20 right now, Go the greek tragedy mask. So im happy.

Is this worth getting for Xbox 360 for the single player? It's fairly cheap at 40odd bucks but the reviews said it's only worth it for the multiplayer.
