How is it after all this time since heists have been out ....

[dead goon]

I think people still don't know what to do because they are constantly kicked or being told to stand and watch.

Many players have a run & gun mentality. It's extremely hard for them to play slow & smart when the situation requires them to do so. Things like taking cover or focusing on protecting someone else instead of trying to get a lot of kills doesn't feel natural for them. These players are destened to fail in most of their attempts to complete all the heists. The tragedy is that these players truly don't understand that they simply don't play a smart game & they don't want to hear that they are not Rambo.

I agree, but i think that this run & gun mentality is brought on by the default auto aim settings of the game... most people learn to play the game, without learning to play... the auto aim does everything for you, hence people think they can run their way through missions/heists and headshot their way through it.

 

Whenever i've played heists on free aim i've never had an issue. People tend to take more care !

I haven't dared to try heist with randoms. Every heist I've been part of is with someone in this forum or someone whom I've met ingame. I've done all the heists on hard free aim this way. Really I only did them to unlock the vehicles, but it is a lot of fun playing with people who try hard, communicate and have strategy.

 

Great experiences, I suggest trying it. I don't consider myself a social player, but all you have to do is not be a dick and you should find some competent players this way.

....People STILL have problems with them? Obviously d/c and heist members leaving are not a problem that can be seen in advance if with randoms but seriously the amont of players at decent levels who cannot grasp the basics is frightening and I think the game cannot be for them if they are struggling this much.

 

Last night I was with 3 randoms on "Deliver EMP" and the level 88 tells me in his mic "I have been on this for 4 days now with loads of people and we cannot do it even on easy" so I oin with them and see the problem straight away - they DO NOT LISTEN and go in hard on a stealth mission.

 

In the end I tell him I will do it myself just to get him through it and instruct the other 3 players to stay well away up the mountain while I deliver the EMP and take out the guards and scientists.

 

Seriously, all you have to do is LISTEN to instructions.

 

I know how to do them but you blow me up run me over other by accident and I will purposely ruin the run.

Don't piss off the hired help/fellow gunmen.

 

In the end you WILL lose.

There's a lot of truth to that and I'm probably guilty of strong-arming my way of doing things. But I just want to get the damn mission completed so we can all get paid!

 

Nothing is more frustrating than failing a finale repeatedly and then having someone quit (usually the culprit).

i had a host continually suicide at the final paracute/jump on the pacific bank heist finale. We were all in the boat and all he had to do was drive down the valley.

 

Nope. Suicided somehow repeatedly .

 

haha first time me and a mate did it we forgot that you had to jump of the bikes to deploy parachutes. we didnt die (luckily) but had to run a little way to get to the boat. everyone in the game was a friend.

I had to do that the last time i played that setup but instead of staying up the mountain they just followed me

Is this the new b&m thread lol

[johndivney]

This prob oughta go in the heist failures thread but.. I joined Pacific standard as the random last night. The other 3 had been in together for a while, an 85 a 120+ and a guy at 395. I'm 320-something. So the 85 guy puts them on crowd control tells me to "just follow them, they know what they're doing". Famous last words. They had concocted some crazy plan that quickly fell to pieces & by the 3rd try me & the 85 had abandoned them & struck out on our own ways.

The final two attempts myself & the 85 were sitting in the dinghy & those guys with their plan didn't make it, first not losing the cops, then the 395 dying off the jump.

 

I tried to help them. Tell them go via train tracks/double back. But some people you just can't help. I had to ask whether the 395 guy was trolling us & sent a few witty messages before blocking the two failures.

Yes it is.

Perhaps they wanted to learn how to do it themselves so they followed you around to see how it is done.
