[h1]Skills Beta[/h1]
We’ve been working, reworking, revamping and overhauling skills and perks as we’ve felt it wasn’t all it could be. As we’ve said before we’ve taken your feedback in account and we’ve checked which perks and skills that were in high demand.
[h1]So now we want to hear what you think![/h1]
Because this is a BETA. This can’t be stressed enough really. So things might change, a percentage might go up or down, and names might change. So some stuff is gone and some are kept. This will of course affect the gameplay, and hopefully to the better! Basically we want it tested by the very best testers out there, namely the players, but this is not finished. So keep it together and just play, play, play.
After you’ve done some heists we’d be more than glad if you share your thoughts with us. We wanna take it slow and don’t rush things. Cause we know as much as you do, that this is a big deal, so it’s of utmost importance that we gather all information we can get our hands on before we have something final. And that’s where your ideas and feedback play a vital part!
In our skills beta document you can read about the new skills - all summarized into a nice little document. The document contains a change log, state of the skills and this will be updated in real-time. Have a look:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-bYcYu2zg5Fa_sT9QO2De2Mdoj63Pee_kts0uuRVLGw/edit#gid=0
We’ve also created a sub-forum where we’d like you to gather and post all of your feedback, thoughts, ideas, problems and bugs you might have! Here it is: http://steamcommunity.com/app/218620/discussions/23/364040166673394162/
So go on a try our our new creation and let us know what you think!
