    There's at least six of us who play it regularly.

    In order to get a saw you need to be at least Tier 5 Enforcer with the skill enabled.

    Not sure ill be playing this game out side of NNG. Almost every fucking game "Connection Failed!" Or he host quits because things are not going their way. I have only had 2 of probably 12 games work so far and one of them with hosted by NNG. Pretty sad if you ask me.

    Once you get to about lvl 30 playing with us, pubby games should be easier to get into. A lot of new players aren't used to different mechanics in payday 2 and I know that hosts will quit even if only one player is messing up. A lot of lobbies will kick you for having a loud setup, so if I am joining a pubby game I will equip a stealth loadout first and then go over the plan in chat. You can always equip a loud setup with support like med bags or ammo upon reaching an agreement with other players. Despite the community, payday 2 is a team game, how every one acts will affect how it goes.

    But I love my loud set up, and seeming how I have yet to see anyone ever come anywhere fing close to stealing why not?! I hang back until the alarms go off then light the cops up.

    Payday 2 has too kinds of gameplay loud and stealth and they are both completely different. They both have different mindsets and disciplines to master.
    I like both although I do prefer the challenge of stealth. Payday 2 actually has a very good stealth system, one of the best I have ever seen in a game with the Cone of vision of enemies and so on. And if it gets messed up, 99% of the time it was human error. Stealthing in payday 2 is a great challenge because of how little human error it allows to fully stealth some of the missions. The 1% it wasn't is when you get screwed with a bad enemy spawn location or they take a very rare route which screws your plans over. But I take the good with the bad because of how great the stealth system is when you come to understand it. A lot of the payday 2 community don't understand it so the people who want to do it stealth will kick anyone they think isn't bringing the focus necessary for stealth.
    I haven't seen someone get immediately kicked from a lobby for bringing a stealth build, but I have seen a lot kicked for bringing a loud build, I have had it happen myself.

    The loud method is fun, but it is not as different from other games as the stealth mechanic is. So some people only want it one way or another. I play both and both have their advantages and disadvantages.

    Iolar's words speak true. I'm also a stealth fan but I also do enjoy blowing shit up. Gotta love my shotguns. xP ... I still want to try the Sniper Rifles though.

    Gonna bump this thread back up as it is double exp week in payday 2. They also have added some more missions to the base game. Including one day parts of what used to be multi day missions and a cameo from a character in the first game.
