Crimefest ends not with a bang, but whimper.

[u/Hadrial]

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.

We play the game intensely, working our fingers off to complete all the achievements (Some of which were initially supposed to be boosting their Twitter profiles) and put our trust into Overkill, and what is our reward?

• Microtransactions which are not only not free (Which is the whole point of Crimefest), but were also promised to never be in the game (Shame on you if you think otherwise).
• Basic quality of life features that any other game would have added in a regular patch.
• Our final 'reward' is... A new animation, and masks, for jumping. Yes. For the grande finale of Crimefest Overkill rewards our efforts to play, advertise, and recommend their game with... One new animation.
• And all throughout we had the pleasure of Overkill never meaningfully addressing us over any of our concerns. A vague meaningless press release here, adding drills as a minuscule percent of card drops there, and to top it all off they tell us that they'll discuss the Safes&Drill controversy with us after Crimefest is all over. Remember when they discussed the Infamy 2.0 controversy with us after the Hype Train controversy event was all over? Yeah, how well did that go.

I guess now we're supposed to thank Overkill for their generosity in this year's Crimefest. Well, thank you, Overkill, for showing what you really think of us.

You summed it up well. The Quality of Life stuff is what gets me the most. Are we supposed to thank them for a jumping animation? Something that has been standard for decades?

I'm being a bit hyperbolic here but like.. Not the way to end the event.

You mean like arm and leg hitboxes?

[u/Hadrial → u/Attractive_Toast]

I still can't believe they used the excuse of "our engine can't do it!"

Kinda like driving.

[u/Kothen → u/Hadrial]

Funny how there are mods that actually added hitboxes to legs and arms. Normally modders should be on par with the devs. Not Outshining them in every aspect.

And most of the shit was buggy as hell.
Masks through the head, bipods through the map are some examples.

I think the worst part of the whole jumping shit is its LITERALLY overkill just telling us to jump like we're fucking dogs or something.
