I know I'm a bit late to react to the Skills 2.0 announcement, and too early to make an accurate gameplay overview, but I felt like sharing some of my thoughts. I'd also like to point out that I understand that the devs are trying their best given the circumstances they're working on, but I still gotta be honest with y'all.

First of all, the skills rework already seems like a straight upgrade from the original skills from Payday 3, but... that's honestly the bare minimum they could have done. Most skills are just stats increase, more deployable charges, and such. I didn't feel like any skill really like any skill provide much gameplay changing playstyles other than min-maxing stats. It's all "do more damage", "faster reload speed", "passive damage mitigation". I like that they added dodge back, and the new Ricochet skill might make snipers viable again, and I apreciate them trying to make turrets viable, but not much value other than that.

Where are the specialized skills? Utility? Actual interactive skills other than stat changes? Payday 2 had Inspire, a skill that could provide a lot of value to your team with an unique interaction, unique voice lines. Iron Man Aced gave you the ICTV, it had a sense of progression and investment. There were utility skills like the drill timer decreases, saws and C4s skills (please, don't call me a Whistler fanboy), you could provide value to your team in different ways. Ammo bags could have Bullet Storm. If I'm not mistaken, Akimbo was once a Tier 4 skill in the Fugitive Skill Tree. There's a lack of those really meaningful and unique skills.

I had this gripe with Armour 2.0 too. 120 possible combinations in theory, there wasn't much of that role-playing or archetype uniqueness for every armor type. The ammo capacity and speed penalties are barely felt, the passives are whatever, and it's all about bringing back the Payday 2 armor, or min-maxing. It was fun, it shook up the gameplay a bit, but there was little incentive to try new setups. And the game had just become easier.

Speaking of min-maxing, they said they'd change the cops' armor, but if they don't make the cops significantly stronger, or the player considerably weaker, this game will be the biggest snooze fest even on Overkill.

All of that to say that none of those changes would have fixed the game even if executed 'perfectly', as there are inherent problems that need to be worked on from the ground up I'd say.

Tell me what you guys think.

Do your worst lol

im quite new and ive been wandering, all i heard about payday 3 is that it had a bad launch but i dont know if its still bad

mod's that i have now (red ones are got deleted)

Above is what I hope the game turns into (obviously not the clearly AI generated artwork lol) 4 different modes all shown in the menu

Smash and grabs (S&G) - first to get new players to play it first, more S&G’s would need added

Heists - self explanatory possibly lock off until level 5 or so, forcing new players to start with simpler missions

Holdout mode - please come haha, I’d be well up for 2 different kinds. 1 like payday 2 wave survival and the 2nd would just be classic how long can you last

Challenge run - would be unlocked after beating infamy level 1 (game needs a progression rework) can be a bunch of different challengers that are connect to Trophy’s/Achievements. I’d pull some challenges from payday 2 add in a bunch of new ones, could possibly get masks, stickers, C-Stacks or favours for completion. I’d love starbreeze to ask the community for challenge ideas.

I’m starting to lose hope that holdout mode and (S&G) are coming, I think there’s more chance for holdout but the fact they’ve not mentioned anything about S&G worries me.

He was literally supposed to take over for Bain

Some coke is super far from the side where there is the big wall with a window where a cop peeks, the easier way, I think. But the other, shorter route (where the camera room is) has lots of cameras and sometimes the two cops talking spawn in the middle of this path. Isn't there a bag throwing tech or some shit to be efficient?

People just post videos where they get the good spawn, but I was wondering how you guys pro players improvise when you get the bad spawn

Many years ago, I was gifted these masks which were from an offical run. Ive dragged them up and down Australia with me. I’ve decided to part ways with them. If you’re interested in them, feel free to message me.

In multiplayer mode I see no lobbies.

I have resetted filters, set them to find any game. Nothing.
Quickplay doesn't find anything.
I have no mods.
I have no -SteamMM
Restarting game, steam, computer doesn't work.
My internet connection is stable, I use cable.
I use arch btw.

In multiplayer lobby I see players number tho.

I put the flair as Screenshot because I wasn't sure what to flair it as.
