@kalina As of yet, haven't managed to rob it quietly. Someone (including myself) always makes a mistake.

kalina

there is a methodical process

I found the moment I started "running through the motions" of what I was doing, rather than paying 100% attention, there wasn't much point in trying because mistakes would just happen

like putting a bullet into a guard that wasn't quite fully around the corner and setting off the alarm

MLP micro series #8 came out today, and it's set in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns

9:42 AM

@kalina Recently I've been doing a lot of Ukrainian Job, I always kill off 2 guards, one in the back alley, one in the back rooms. That has always worked. Whenever I happen to bump into a third guard having to kill him, it has always failed as I don't have the mastermind skill being full ghost with bag skills from enforcer. Either I'm having perfect luck in that regard, you're wrong or we have different versions of the game where it works differently.

(as an answer to this)

it's "up to three" and "four" with the mastermind skill. Without the mastermind skill there is a chance that any of the first three will fail. — kalina 5 mins ago

kalina

@3ventic I've answered three

it fails a lot, but does work

we normally get somebody with the mastermind perk to answer 3 + 4

but the perk clearly states "increase by 1" and the game files clearly state that number is 4

5pike

3 calls can work

3ventic

Never seen it happen without the mastermind perk..

kalina

the game files actually says "can answer at LEAST 4 calls"

so theoretically a mastermind can answer >=4 calls

5pike

The skill in mastermind guarantees you 4

kalina

9:44 AM

while a player without the skill can answer <=3

2 always seems to work without the perk

I think out of all of the times I did it yesterday the 3rd is like a 33% chance of success

3ventic

I seem to be having a terrible run of bad luck in regards to the 3rd call then..

Damn auction house questions collecting spam edits from anonymous users..

kalina

yay I'm a deputy again

5pike

Are there any stealth-heists with more than 5 guards?

kalina

not sure

haven't seen any

3ventic

big oil has 6 on day 2

kalina

9:49 AM

I suspect the FBI building might have more than 5?

pretty big building

3ventic

fbi has 7

kalina

day 3 of framing frame might have more than 5

3ventic

or had when I counted it

5pike

@kalina Framing frame has 5

3ventic

they were all in the same room and 3 of them didn't move

and it was the only possible entrance :s

kalina

9:50 AM

I also noticed that if you kill a guard, all of the other guards automatically adjust their routes

if you kill 2-3 guards quickly

all the other guards come towards you

5pike

@kalina So that's why

kalina

it means on the bigger levels, you can kill a bunch of guards away from whatever you're doing there (vault etc)

and then stealth around them as they reroute

my favourite screenshot from yesterday

5pike

@kalina Stealth steal everything?

kalina

entered the bank, stole everything including all deposit boxes

on overkill

left the bank, bagged the loot

emptied a clip of ammo into the lobby

set off the alarms, and left before the police arrived
