Remove security barriers (wifi circles) when stealthing Under the Surphaze

[Tuna Sandwich]

IT'S VERY OBVIOUS THE CIRCLES (especially in surphaze stealth) ARE ONLY THERE TO PREVENT THE MISSION FROM BEING ABLE TO BE RUSHED TOO QUICKLY. THAT IS BAD GAME DESIGN. THEY ARE NOT FUN. THEY ARE ANNOYING AND RUIN THE IMMERSION ANDBLA BLABLA THERE'S NOT 1 GOOD THING ABOUT THEM

pls. make the security barriers go up in loud only. sucks to have them in stealth. unnecessarily drags out the heist

magic circle should be remove from the game.
find another mechanic, lockpick, hack, change circuit.. idk
whatever would be better to unlock a barrier, it's ridiculous, doesn't make sense, when every single other mechanic has been "polished" like you have a tool to cut glass.
why is it that you have to walk on something not physical, visible by the hud, to unlock something?
doesn't fit to the game, maybe in other games it make sense to "stay in a zone" to control it, but not here.

Yes, remove mini game with circle on all maps.. it's the worst idea for a Payday game.. Break my immersion and it's a pain when I play alone..

[looking for gurl]

it doesnt fit stealth ur right

[GGojo]

lmao totally agree with that, this feature is so unnecessary and doesn't feel like fits in the game, so boring

Instead of WiFi circles, have it where you do a mini game of hacking or getting signal instead. Pull out an equipment or something

[Coldflame]

remove the QR scanners, lasers, civilians, cameras, doors, and guards too

The circle standing is really stupid conceptually. It works well gameplay wise for Stealth but not for loud. Trying to watch routes, use cameras and marks to monitor guards, and avoid cameras is fun in stealth. However in loud its just terrible. If anyone has played 99 Boxes on the higher difficulties then you know exactly what im talking about.

I feel circle standing should be exclusive to Stealth. Where it actually fits.

id rather have a mechanic were your using your phone to see hidden wires under the floor you need to trace back and change positions as you make your way to a specific point, would give spots on the map more purpose as i find alot of areas are just ignored in both stealth and loud

[Kurague]

I feel like the mechanic would be a bit better if it was more forgiving, like having to have the person in view and pointing at them, which the guards can catch you doing, but you can do as long as the person is in sigh...This would at least make it so you can stealth in the second floor while hacking or something like that.

Under the Surphaze does feel needlessly tedious to stealth in general. Removing the whole WiFi spot mechanic would improve the game

Yup. That mechanic was terrible in the game GTFO and it's terrible here. Idk who came up with the original idea but it is not a good one

Same here man

The amount of sitting around and waiting for these because you have to wait for guard patrols is horrible. The one where you have to follow someone and hack their phone would be much better.

Re: Surphaze, in particular.

They could have easily made this objective a simple "navigate the lobby to fiddle with some wall switches" which would have had the same effect of having potential exposure to guards while also being organic and engaging. This mechanic just blows, even in loud where you're more encouraged to use cover in this game, since you'll find yourself standing out in the open.
