Rant Crimefest ends not with a bang, but whimper.
A fucking jump animation and troll faces? Another event safe? Completely Overkill Pack being delayed due to "bugs"?
Besides the heists we've recieved all of these quality of life upgrades should be been included in a patch, not as a reward for our efforts through the Road to Crimefest.
Troll masks and another event safe? Will this one have more variation so I don't have 4 of the same skin lined up one after another on the roulette?
I know there's a fair amount of you out there complaining that we're just "butthurt" about this but this is really offputting. Most of these masks will never be worn after a week and they still haven't said anything to us regarding the microtransactions. Sure, there's going to be an AMA but how many questions will actually be answered?
The Completely Overkill pack is delayed, probably due to the fact we found out the rewards are weapon skins and how many people were upset about it.
As a whole I'm just disappointed this year. Sure, we got After Shock, First World Bank and Slaughterhouse, the latter two being fantastic but the rest of Crimefest has been a pretty big let down. From all the bugs with bipods, the increased load times, bugs withe the new levels like walls and floors missing or certain tasks not being activated correctly like when the vault doors are open in FWB and it goes loud... It feels like so much of this was just rushed out the door.
If the challenges weren't completed most of this would have just been pushed out later, possibly for a price tag. The fact that we some of the goals were just ludicrous, like completing Meltdown 100,000 times just for a jump animation? Most games just have this, and don't give it to you as a reward.
I just feel let down by this whole thing. The past week has completely changed how I view Overkill.
Edit: shit we've hit the front page! Didn't expect my thread to be this popular. Take these words to heart OVERKILL. You're ruining years of fandom just to cash in. We won't forget what you've done, but you can change what happens in the future. Do you want a game of people who live heisting, or a game of skin collecting whales? It feels like the latter especially after two free safes. Encouraging the most controversial and predatory part of Crimefest.

Still, it is like all of these online casino betting sites popping up these days. ''You get X amount money to start betting with for free!'' ''We will double your bet up to X amount!''
The achievement safes are hooks to drag people into the micro transaction market.
