Patch 1.1.4: Modifiers, new skill line, and more!

[Ћ Abomination Jones]

Howdy folks, you might've seen or heard about it already, but here's your Steam thread recapping what all that maintenance was for! Right into it we go!
If you'd rather read the post on the website, then click here[t.paydaythegame.com] to check it out! This thread is just going to recap.

Infamy replacements

To save explanations, check out this blog post[t.paydaythegame.com] to learn more about replacing challenges with good ol' levelling.

Loud + Stealth modifiers

A lot of you felt loud wasn't hard enough, or the modifiers didn't really affect loud much. We hear you, just making enemies spongier isn't really a 'challenge' so we've got something to help go against that. We made a blog post HERE[t.paydaythegame.com] to go into more about it. There's 6 new loud modifiers, and 2 new stealth ones. These will rotate.
These modifiers are;

Federal Negotiator - You cannot leave custody without a hostage trade, a player can be released for 1 hostage, but this cost increases every time that player has been in custody or a civilian has been killed.
Combat Duo - The special cap increases by 1, and they can even come in pairs. Techies and Cloakers are not included, but the team wants to make dual Cloakers a thing in the future.
Crippling Tactics - Your EDGE, GRIT and RUSH will be removed if you are disabled by a Zapper or Cloaker, damaged by Nader gas, or smacked by a Shield or Dozer's melee.
Armor Piercing Rounds: 5% of law enforcement damage is also applied to health, cutting through your defenses.
Alpha Team - Regular SWAT are upgraded to Heavy SWAT, bolstering their potential.
Tactical Flashlights - Shields come with a disorientating light that can make it difficult to see with a visual effect.

AI Surveillance - The security camera room guard is now gone, the cameras cannot be shut off from the room either.
Threat Detection - You are now detected by cameras in all areas as if you had masked up

Assassin skill branch/line

We've discussed this one before[t.paydaythegame.com] as well, a skill set focused on utility for both quiet and noisy approaches, with silencers, marks and take-downs being its focus. Check out the blog post linked for a look at what it can bring for the team.

Mask of the week

A new feature to offer new masks at a discount compared to their standard one, these will rotate twice before being put through the regular vendor.

Due to technical issues[t.paydaythegame.com] with Daily Activities being not released alongside this, a further discount has been added to compensate for the potential missing C-Stacks you could've gotten. This will persist until Daily Activies are added.

The Kawaii mask is up first as well, you did vote[strawpoll.com] for it after all! Since it's the first mask, you have a week and a half to snag it!

Spray patterns for the new progression system

More rewards have been added to the level-up pool, each of the three new patterns has ten variations! These ARE a consumable but can drop multiple times.

Autodrones, ROLL OUT

Remember when we said we'd like to put the Techie in other heists? Well, the law has approved her performance and she's going to start appearing in other heists, albeit not as often as she does in her home of Syntax Error. As noted above, she is exempt from the Combat Duo modifier. For now, maybe.

But your combat experience against her hasn't gone unnoticed, she has a new tactical drone that can disable active buffs, as well as blind you... and now she can counter-hack turrets if you leave them unguarded. You think you're the only hacker? Please.
Since this is a new change, Shade will auto-mark Techies on Normal and Hard to give you a bit of a hand.

Other stuff

As noted at the start, check HERE[t.paydaythegame.com] for the entire list of things. There's been fixes and changes of significant number, to post them all here would be overkill, so check out the link there and scroll down!

Did something break on your end? That's absolutely something you should tell us about!

dead game?

[sqey]

game is actually harder now, thank you for the update!

[Stoque]

Refreshing rush on marking a target right now isn't enough to justify another perk point when the perk required to get said perk gives you infinite rush anyways. Instead, have assassin aced turn the killer transparent so it's clear to other teammates that the enemy cannot see the killer as well.

If we are to expect more special enemy types in the future, and we won't have the skill points to counter all of them, then either let us know before the heist starts what special enemy types we'd be facing, or restrict what enemy types can spawn to what Shade specifically called out over the radio.

Any news on making the game functional by getting rid of the always online elements?

[Killerya]

Correct the optimization, after the update the PC began to make more noise, although the graphics are the same

You guys need to add a vote kick for problem players. In Cook Off, two of us wanted to leave, third wanted to stay and be a pain in the ass. We had to wait for him to go into custody before we could leave.

[Kooh-Kie]

Please make the modifiers optional, give us the ability to choose which modifiers to apply.
