Ah I see, no problem, I´ll just try to get 500 more then. Though I gotta say for me the loot goal in the first mission was alot easier to get than in the second mission.
Anyway, awesome campaign, beltzer! :) Rooftop missions/thieves highway are my favourites and this one is pure eye-candy, as your missions usually are :) I could just stand around on a rooftop and enjoy the view :cheeky:
I´m also glad you hold back this time with the creepy creatures and undead, it´s sth. I really dislike. A tiny little bit like it was here is okay though, even for me :D
If I could give improvement suggestions, I´d suggest to put more open loot in several rooms and appartments. It´s always nice to jump into a window and find some loot there. In your missions there often was either nothing or very well hidden.
Also if you make another rooftop mission I recommend to involve slowfall-potions. It´s often easy to get up somewhere, but getting down not so much. Cardia often makes that mistake too in his missions. But those are just really small things, other than that it was pretty perfect imo :)

Thanks for you thoughts.
About the loot, its hard to satisfy all players. :) One tester thought it was too much loot, and that i should delete some. And an other one that i should add more.
I wanted to add slow fall and speed potions as well. But the problem was that i did not want someone to use it down between houses, and walk around down there :)
And speeds, easy to go to places you shouldn't.

I think with too much loot you are on the saver side than with not enough, cause it´s annoying for a player when he finished all other objectives and only has the loot goal left. Loot hunting is always sth. that´s a job on the side. Garrett for example would never run around hunting for like 200 loot after he finished his main objectives :)

I thought that was the case and I think it doesn´t matter cause they weren´t really that necessary in your missions :) :thumb:

I have few questions about Mission 1:
1. Where is code for Vault? Bank president mentioned removing some numbers and upstairs guy from office. Upstairs guy mentioned backup key for something and in Moina's office I found Window key, but there is no frobbable windows anywhere. I also found Vault key #1. I'm guessing that there is Vault key #2, so where is it?
2. Below Apartments I found fireplace with frobbable statue. Where is item for that?
3. What's the point of ladder? And is it the only reward in attic?
4. How to complete Mechanist objective? I went there, but all doors are unfrobbable.

1. Vault code: Upstairs in the office is a hidden switch which reveals another switch. Frob it and it will reveal the code next to the bookcase.
2. Take a look in Brigandias appartment.
3. With the ladder you can cross over to the mechanists to finish your mission. It´s the last place to go, cause it´s where the 2. mission starts.

Thanks, Samantha1, with your help I managed to beat Mission 1. It took me 3 hours and I gathered 8930 loot and didn't find any secret. Also I only found Vault key #1, so I couldn't complete optional objective. Overall all right mission. The biggest drawback for me is this tiny Vault code placed in really random spot and I would love to have hint about it's placement. Even with Samantha1 hint it took me 10 min to find it. I was seriously getting crazy. Maybe it was connected to lever she mentioned that disables alarm - after reopening painting this lever doesn't change position after launching alarm, so it was impossible for me to disable alarm after it got triggered. And if you go too fast with reopening painting lever may not show up. I missed item for teleporter. I blame shorter frob range as I checked this place before and to highlight it I needed to go more closely than I usually go. Mechanist objective confused me a lot - it didn't show up in my objective screen, but both Mechanist and Hammerite churches are on the map. So I was sure that I can explore these places. Also spooky house wasn't spooky for me, it actually looked rather weird. But fast zombie girl scared me a bit.
