Goddamn. Play a mission for 30 min, idiot host leaves. The game not having a rejoin or re-locate host option is a severe oversight and poor programming.
Yeah. They said at release they couldn't get it working in time for launch but I agree. After two years, a host migration feature really should be in the game. I can't say it's ever hurt too much not having it, but every now and then, some BS happens -_-
Hoping Clover gets released, her voice sounds good.

Well, not long now, she may be part of the Christmas heist.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Huh, Clover was supposed to be Scottish, but this has been changed to Irish, along with a famous(?) Irish BBC actress doing her voice: Séainín Brennan.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Okay, the site is now up and here's the briefing:
Ho ho ho ho-ly gak!
Vlad is pissed. Didn’t you hear? That drunken Bosnian Norwegian brother-in-law pilot of his crashed his plane like a cheap Yugoslavian rocket. Somewhere in the forest, there is a burning plane filled with Vlad’s latest shipment of pure Colombian cocaine! Millions of dollars worth of snow, ready for any babushka to steal right from under our noses. Vlad won’t let that happen and you’re going to help him not let that happen.
Step one is to save that pilot so that the pigs can’t question him and find out he’s connected to Vlad. Step two is to bring back as much coke and other valuable stuff you can find.
We have got to help Vlad get his white Xmas!
The White Xmas Heist is the second annual OVERKILL Xmas heist for PAYDAY 2 and lets players help Vlad rescue his Bosnian Norwegian brother-in-law pilot who crashed his plane carrying a large transport of pure Colombian cocaine. A loud-only heist, players are to escort the drunken pilot and make sure he gets out alive while grabbing as many valuables as they can with them.
It's a loud mission, so cue the whiney witches crying about not being able to sneak it.
The mission will be unlocked on Thursday, with a present for today and tomorrow. The seven new achievements have also been added in, but are as of yet still locked away with the lyrics from White Christmas, fitting.

The masks of Xmas!
Remember the Mechanical Bull challenge? Almir met with a couple of community members in Los Angeles and challenged them to ride a mechanical bull and hold on for as long as possible. To the surprise of everyone, Almir lost and the community members could claim their reward – to make one Xmas mask each for the Xmas Heist. Together with these heroes of the PAYDAY community, we’ve made four new masks for you to enjoy.
”Mrs. Claus” by Idiivil
When Santa is flying through December skies, someone has to stay home and keep the elves in line. No-one does that better than the whip-cracking, cigar-smoking kommandant of the Claus household.
”Krampus” by Auburok
Been a bad boy or girl this year? Then you can expect a visit from Krampus. Or a phone-call from Bain.
”Mechanical Santa” by 40 Percent Pwnamite
This jolly, festive automaton has the heart of Santa. He keeps it in a box, under a pile of elf corpses, and surrounded by severed reindeer heads.
”The Strinch” by STrAT
A seasoned heister over the festival period, the Strinch has been stealing Christmases since 1957. Also linked with the Halloween Heist of 1972.
BONUS MASK: ALMIR'S BEARD
Bonus: The Beard
For those who go above and beyond to help Vlad get his white Xmas, a legendary treasure of epic proportions awaits. In centuries past, this ancient trophy has gone by many names; the Beard of Destiny, the Untamed, Worldbreaker and the Beard of a Thousand Winks. To you, it’s simply more known as Almir’s Beard.
Some say that real men don’t shave, but the truth is that real men can’t shave. Ordinary razors simply bounce off the dense, magnificent foliage that is a truly full Almir beard.
Achievements:
Vlad’s Little Helpers Complete the White Xmas job on the Normal difficulty. Unlocks the “Mrs. Claus” mask.
Stealing Christmas Complete the White Xmas job on the Hard difficulty. Unlocks the “Strinch” mask.
Cancelling Santa’s Christmas Complete the White Xmas job on the Very Hard difficulty. Unlocks the “Krampus” mask.
Claustrophobia Complete the White Xmas job on the OVERKILL difficulty. Unlocks the “Mechanical Santa” mask.
Like Turkeys Voting for an Early Christmas Complete the White Xmas job on the Death Wish difficulty.
Riders On the Snowstorm In the White Xmas job, complete the heist on the Death Wish difficulty while each crew member wear a different “2014 Xmas” mask each. Unlocks the “Almir’s Beard” mask.
Impossible, It Can’t Be. Is it? Secure the rare Almir’s Toast.

My missus told me that she read somewhere that hipsters have killed beards and now all of the cool people are back to being clean shaven.
Although she may well be telling me lies because she hates me sporting one.
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

I don't mind beards as a fashion statement, myself. But I'm talking about real beards, not hipster stubble.

Well I waited for so long for old Hoxton to come out can't really abandon him now. It's not a complaint, just i'm not really gonna get a chance to play as Clover as his accent is too damn awesome.

Fair enough, while I love old Hoxton, I have grown really attached to the deadpan and businesslike deliveries of Houston, though I am curious how Clover's pager replies will be.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Okay, coming next week, December 16th, a new heist and a new heister!
Q: What can I expect?
A: Watch the trailer.
Q: How much is it?
A: Wait until Sunday for day 1 and more information.
Q: I can't find the site?
A: We're teasing with the trailer now - day 1 goes live on Sunday.

Voice modulator. I could see it being deliberately bad. I'm just guessing, but it's either gotta be that, or there's going to be female guard added, with the female FBI agents setting precedent.
Heh, no voice modulator, but rather her using her normal voice or trying to put on a gruff one. What makes it even more hilarious is the already deadpan and mundane slew of replies the operator on the other side of the line gives, no matter how absurd or mundane the explanation for the pager going off.
"Uh huh, uh huh, well see you later for bowling!"
Also, still waiting on that new GenSec enemy to show up and make us gak bricks or whatever.

I'm always amused when Hoxton's british accent is never called out when he answers the pager.
