Pagers & How they work?

[breadrolll]

So, would anyone be able to tell me how to pagers work now? (As in the whole "answer the pager" thing) I noticed the "Smooth Talker" skill was no longer there, so I wondered if anyone could tell me whats up.

You can answer 4 pagers per map. Anyone can answer any of them, it's 4 for the team total.

The group has four pagers that they can answer on a single mission, so essentially everyone has smooth talker now.

And you have to answer pagers on dominated guards.
A recent update added a pretty new thing, the orange light around a guard starts blinking when the answering timer is near its end.

If I shoot the guard so he flies out of the map (for example, into the water on Election Day 1), will his pager activate?

Yup,pagers are waterproof

Remember that if two people are using a pager, one may let go, but not both !
Pager timer is 12 secs after the guard die or is taken hostage, and then 10 secs to answer.
Which means..
If you kill two guards quickly, one after the other, you may answer both.
But that's tricky 'cause the max amount of time you get is 2 seconds.

You can still juggle a 5th pager between two people if you really really really need to and have a 3rd guy doing the business.

Even a sixth pager with 3 people doing it (and dead bodies near enough) and the 4th poor soul does all the job

uff, don't wanna think about doing that for god knows how long until the last schmuck runs with all the gold on FF day 3 :)

I find that extremely stupid.
I mean having to answer pager on dominated guards.
The theory goes, reason why we need to answer pager is because of the loud thump, when the guard literally drop dead. Dominated guards kneel down slowly...

PS. What's the point of dominating guards now? Before it adds immersion, and giving an extra guard kill count before alarm goes off. It was benefitial to game play experience and technical use. Now, there's no stopping players just blowing 4 guards brains out. Except the fear of launching their corpse off map.

The dominator skill was abused in another way:kill every guard and then dominate the survivor.Now you have to sneak past all the guards.Hell,in bank jobs/jewelry store/diamond store you don't even need to kill the 4 guards if you want more immersion.Just dominate them all since it's possible

But... you have to let go at some point. And it's Framing Frame Day 3. D:

My problem is with - There's no difference between dominating a guard and killing him.
And to me, that's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ way, or the most stupid way of fixing an abused mechanic.
