Firestarters is worth about as much as frames, but is significantly easier to stealth. (and actually possible to fight out)
:shock:
Yeah, if you clear out the all the bags in day 1 and the boxes in day 3, it's worth $1 in spendable cash as well. Bonus value if you get the loot room in day 2 too

no, i mean... stealthing firestarters is completely down to random chance. you have a 1/4 chance of picking the right box the first time and 1/3 of picking it the second time. no way to figure it out. i am against that sort of level design.
I'm thinking stealth might have been a bad addition to the game. It's just not deep enough and leaves players twiddling their thumbs. It can be salvaged, but it needs loads more depth and just a cleaner implementation.

If you access the highlighted computer after finding the server room Bain will highlight which boxes you need to cut.
You only need to guess if you want the achievement for guessing.
Also going faster, and then the armour stuff. I'm excited.

Seriously, though, bagging corpses is pretty cool especially for the stealth-required missions.
Its just that most of the rest of the ghost stuff either feels like a more limited/worse version of something another class has (ECM jammers opening specific doors, picking safes) or only really comes into play when you're in casing mode, which a lot of missions outright skip, and a lot of groups barely bother with.
To be honest, a lot of the best weapons unlock before your 20s anyways.
It is still weird that they designed it that way, but I'm guessing they didn't want to have a really good shotgun unlock at 80 and fuck over Enforcers whereas The Best Rifle unlocks at 40.

yeah, apparently a buncha later stuff got cut for the release date. the hope is it all gets added in slowly.
But odds are you'll be set in your ways long before you hit level 39 so it won't even matter.
thought 39 is the double barrel shotgun and that fucker is rad as shit. i got both mods for it and it's tiny and just murders everyone.

oh damn
that is a lot of stuff
so now 2-3 day jobs are back in the rotation and you're more likely to have to run escape missions in between days
overkill's QA might not be the best, but the fact that they listened to their community and implemented a lot of the fixes requested is really impressive

their QA is fine, they just had to cut half the game in order to release mid-august. it was either cut the content or release a month+ later, probably
so things like there not being unlocks every 10 levels like there's supposed to be is not a hard thing to bear until mid-september, imo
people who get mad at overkill despite their awesome community support (on steam forums and w/e) really make me mad. these guys are basically mother theresa in video games

but yeah, i'm not mad at them, it's just that the game in its current form is obviously somewhat unfinished
fun as hell, though. and the best goddamn "feel" for virtual firearms i have ever encountered in a videogame. i often find myself firing my gun just to hear the sound

well, stealth missions are still kinda boring when you're not someone who likes stealth stuff, but i honestly haven't notice much in the wya of changes outside of not being able to grab things through walls anymore.
i'm still interested but i think i may wait until a lot of the cut stuff is added back in before i jump in on actually buying it
hopefully that won't take long
If you haven't bought it at this point, I would just wait. They're selling so well that they'll probably put the game on sale when they add the cut content.

I'm about to start suggesting frames and big oil just to have something different to do.
bank heists are fun, but i want something more involving.

payday.....
Supposedly that just ups your chance at Notorious (or whatever) items. So, like, the Cthulhu mask.
So instead of a 0.1% chance it's a 0.3% or whatever.
I have pre-emptively re-specced to mastermind in preparation for this news.
Also going faster, and then the armour stuff. I'm excited.

Could this be the legendary unlocks past level 40!?
Including the fixes for moving things through walls.
1.4 gigs of bug fixes.
Also they added filters to crime.net, and bain says some new stuff i guess.
there is a rumoured new difficulty at 75 but that seems completely debunked now.

You're getting skill points every level, it's just that armor and guns stop unlocking well before that.
that's a huge-ass gap
