7 Day Heists?

[Bardingo.jpeg]

Have you ever seen the 7-day counter at the top of the screen while you were in idle during a lobby? Have you ever wondered why there aren't any weeklong heists? I myself would love to do a 7-day or 6-day or 5-day or any length over 3 days, for that matter. I just find it annoying that the almost every heist is a single die, besides 2 or 3 day ones like Watchdogs, Rats, Election Day, etc. Why even have the week if 3 days (excluding escapes) is the most ever used. Hopefully this will get noticed by the lads over at OVERKILL. Let me know what you think.

Why not? Please provide links, etc. if possible.

They have confirmed MANY times it will never happy. It's too long for most players.Not to mention the game crashes, DC issues and kick happy hosts ruining a heist of that length. The 7 days are there because it is more pleasing to the eye to see a full week rather than a partial one. Also literally everyone knows there is a day counter on the top, kind of an odd way to start a thread.

Thanks for clarification. I think 7 weeklong heists would be epic, especially with friends. Also very challenging if it was a Pro-Job or something. Sorry I am new to the forums.

Being new to the forums is no excuse to not to take 5 minutes of your time to google and use the forum's search function and instead create the very same thread we're terribly tired of seeing by now.

Technically there can be a 6 (5?) day heist if you consider escapes, and I'm sure you can imagine most people wouldn't want to sit through a 7 day heist unless it was optional.

That being said, it would be kind of cool if they made "groupings" of heists for more dedicated people, like all of Vlad's heists in one go or all of the heists in a storyline in one go. But again, has to be completely optional so no achievements or things for that I would say.

You can already have a "5 day heist" sort of.

Rats day 1, Garage Escape, Rats day 2, Overpass escape, Rats day 3.

It would be more or less tedious than anything, for one it would take them forever to release unless they compromise on quality and just make 7 short levels lumped together, and secondly a larger single day heist is much more challenge than a bunch of shorter staged multilevel heists when you consider you get all your supplies refilled between each day.

Quick search through steam forums shows no other forum about this topic. Think before you spurt unneeded hostility.

I'm just on the train of thought of the mere difficulty of a weeklong heist. And I totally agree with you, I'd hope that the devs would try to put more effort into each level, although I'm not sure.

Personally, I think 2-3 day heists and long 1-day heists are better for OVK to focus on for the simple reason that if the 7-day heist they release ends up sucking, that's a ton of dev time spent for next to nothing.

Thanks, my searches were 7 day heist, several day heist, multiple day heist, 7 day, even just 7. Thank you for clarifying.

True.
