I've logged 19 hours so far into Payday 2 and have gotten up to level 51. At this point I will probably stop playing for a while until somethings are fixed.
-crime.net is awful. Payday 1 had a great server system. However in Payday 2, I find myself constantly waiting to find a heist and a challenging difficulty that I'm in the mood for.
-The technician's C4 basically breaks the Ukrainian Job and Night Club. Ukrainian job now takes just 40 seconds and Night Club takes about 2 minutes all on overkill. A technician and an enforcer with a saw can dominate Four Stores in about 2 minutes. However farming these missions is what is required if you want any masks or weapons mods.
-Probably my most pressing issue with the game (also with the beta) is the card drop system. I'm 19 hours in and I've still have not unlocked any other optic besides the red dot included in the pre order loot bag. I have 2 mods for the CAR4: a laser and a short barrel. The shotgun I use has a modded stock. I have about 5 masks, 10 designs, but only 1 color (solid brown). So in essence I can't customize my guns they way I want (hell I may never even be given the chance to unlock a new optic). I have masks and designs, but I only have one color which basically allows me to make one ugly brown mask. I have 8 of the same slides for the crosskill, but not one stock or suppressor for the CAR4. The random card drops suck and ruin customization.
-The next problem is the card drop system only occurs at the end of a heist. So I'm better off farming Ukrainian Job, Four Stores, and Night Club because I get the same amount of mods doing a 40 second mission as a multiday hour long heist. What makes things even worse is that after beating RATS on overkill with 2 escape heists thrown in, and a 800,000 dollar payday.....I receive a 3,000 dollar card drop. So worthless.
I'm actually really enjoying the game. Playing with a good crew is a lot of fun, however this game could use some serious revamping.
