Yeah but that’s what catering spreads look like in real life. Apart from the sparkling wine being left at room temp.

I did a brief google search for catering spreads, and…I don’t know what parties you’ve seen/ managed/ been a part of, but these all look much better than what we see in-game:
Yes, the food and drinks are consistent in design, but there is clearly some variation of how food and drinks are placed, and the use of invisible shapes and height to make the food visually interesting to look at for party-goers and drunk fancy asshats.
Not saying a party for said drunk, fancy asshats shouldn’t look neat, but it shouldn’t look so fake and jarring either.
Welcome to the weirdest tangent in HMF!

I swear, this mission is trolling me. Can’t record my run for a week now, because in ETA everything works, but as soon I start doing the ET - some bizarre shit happens every single time. For example:
• Lilith and co hears what she couldn’t hear before.
• Consistent spots for planting weapons for Lilith’s bodyguards suddenly don’t work - one of them won’t see it and Lilith ends up stashing it herself (why TF does she do this anyway? Shouldn’t she be a VIP guard or something?)
• Lilith’s supposed to go to the laptop from the Gregory’s room - but heads to the balcony instead.
• This guy spawns:
Like who the fuck is that? He isn’t Lilith’s bodyguard - she’s in the laptop room with both of her men, and Gregory normally dismisses his security once the quarantine starts. This bloke just appears once in a while to mess with me and won’t even react on distractions.
Every time I think that everything that could go wrong did in fact go wrong already - some new unpredictable bullshit happens and ruins my run, it’s almost hilarious at this point. But the worst part is that every fail costs me 25-30 minutes of my life, because I’m also trying to record the exposition and dialogues at the beginning.
That guy is Gregory’s bodyguard. Lilith goes to the balcony if she knows Gregory is dead or missing from his room.

FWIW, I’ve never seen that guard not be there.

If I understand you correctly, the save state is server-side? Couldn’t you invalidate it each time the player progresses but if a death/failure is transmitted, discard it and transmit the previous state?
Yeah, but normally she goes to the laptop first. At least that’s what she did on my other attempts.
That’s weird, because for me that room is almost always unguarded. Got used to breaking it open with a crowbar or an SMG and cure/kill Gregory. In all my test runs I’ve seen him only twice and was really surprised, thought that was a bug.
lol. Since IO gave Lilith guard AI - this means she’ll pick up tasers and it can be used to cheese the ET.
The electrocution phone lives on in spirit in this ET.

Concept arts for the mission.

Anyone on switch get their duck yet 
You might just have to replay it in the Arcade to get it to trigger.
I wonder why they keep doing this IO account ducks after the disastrous launch of the last one.
You’d expect this one to go better but it has been even worse, and I suspect the next one won’t be any different either.

I have the same wonderings.
It makes sense that they use it for things like the suit you can unlock for 007: First Light by playing The Banker ET, but when the required action and the unlock are both for WoA - why is it not just a standard in-game unlock attached to a challenge where you need to complete the ET/Arcade? 
I had no issues with the Chainsaw Duck though, once we found out it could take up to 48 hours to appear. Only the In-flu-ential Duck did I personally experience an issue.

While we’re on the subject of names, two guards are named after the lead characters in Peep Show, a very good British show. One of the devs has good taste in TV.
Here’s some bug reports
When outbreak begins some low level guards are rounded up into foyer and fundraiser… but if you’re dressed as one it’s still illegal for you to be there
This guy and the one next to him hold pistols like shotguns

I’ll do it again, I played the ETA after this was posted and still nothing. But I’ll try again.
