I'm doing my part!

I genuinely enjoy some of the new mechanics and ideas for the game.
The new casing mode or lockpicking mechanic are great for example.
But some design decisions range from being odd to just bad.
The fact you can't keep the cutscenes in the mission selection toggled of or the more tactical shooter aspect without being able to shoot from cover for example.

I think my biggest problem with the game currently is the unneccesary "only online" matchmaking, which seems to be an issue for many others as well. While the servers are currently down i can't play the game alone offline, because Soloplay still functions over the online matchmaking. You can enjoy Payday 1&2 on your own if you have no internet connection or (like here) there's an issue with the servers. Why they included that is beyond me.

I would love to see this game get more polish, but in this current state i really can't recommend it to anyone. Maybe in a year or so the game is worth it's price.
