I'm still considering a Tuesday release and it's more probable now that the event ends on a Tuesday. It makes more sense that way, gives them time to pluck out critical bugs.

The event that preceded the Casino update ended on a Tuesday, and that's when we received the update, I would presume the same thing will happen with this event.

Ummm...how about we settle on a new Arena War mode called Robot Wars? If someone still remembers that show

If they release a sequel to AW I'm uninstalling.

This guy managed to get some things right by mistake and he's going nuts and acting like he's the biggest leaker ever. That's why he compiled a "leak" with patch notes full of grammatical errors and weird things like "fixed an issue where players where randomly killed in freeroam". The guy is a nutcase, stop giving him attention.

Role has been fun so far but I can see it getting repetitive real quick. Wish we had gotten Rockstar Editor but whatever, they're probably waiting for Next Gen I guess. Made some mistakes but I'm happy with it. Original Version

did some digging. Found some Halloween Pass Images Spoilers for the pass below:

See you in a couple of weeks, I'm going back to sleep...

See? I payed so little attention that I don't even remember his name I still fondly remember R*F*. No one leaked as much as he did hangar space* But yeah. I care about cars only when they adding some nice looking classics. Or something with unique features instead of "its another car with a minigun/rockets!" Wrong link. You have to use his tripcode instead of name. Cause this link is full of imposers. edit: I tried to look for that archive but looks like most of those old posts are gone now. The board archive he was mostly leaking on ( /vg/ ) got removed I guess. The only thing that reminds is this: https://boards.fireden.net/_/search/tripcode/!CSmUrZluSg/ edit2: also some screenshots remain

I think I've figured it out: The update was animal spawns working; They just figured that JUST having animal spawns finally work would make players angrily say, "So why not have them working right away, instead of years later???" So they figured they could not ONLY have animal spawns working (after such a content drought), so while they were doing that they had some "second stringers" throw together a quick role that made sense to go with animal spawns finally working. Then it probably gave the art department something to do, making the spiffy cut scenes, while at home distancing. Some of it seems rushed, probably to just get out animal spawns finally working, which I imagine will be fixed. I can't see them leaving the hunting wagon/bounty wagon broken so you can only select them at the stable. ============ I'm up to role 7, once i figured out how the heck to play the role. This is what I found out: 1) Sedate the crud out of the animal, with varmint sedative rifle ammo, until you see the shot doing an obvious "red x" shot on the target. Birds, even turkeys, always seem to just die. My guess is it only works on animals in the compendium she gives you/whatever scrapbook. Maybe some other birds work, I've not looked in the scrapbook enough to notice. 2) Get a sample. 3) Revive it, for 13 xp (every bit helps.) 4) Turn in the samples to Harriet, for 50 xp each, when you have a bunch. I often select Harriet on the map, then just get a sample of everything on the way. 5) Photographs ONLY count with the Advanced Camera; they also don't count AFTER you've sedated the animal, whether it has fallen yet or not. BUT, it DOES count AFTER you revive it (sometimes easier to photograph then, since still slower (especially if a cougar, who would otherwise attack you.) ) DON'T bother deleting photos for room; you get credit whether you have the room or not (though you'll always get the screen saying you don't have room>) It is irritating to delete them, on the Xbox, so I don't bother. 6) Do poacher every time you can, at Harriet. This starts at level 5 and is not immediately obvious, since you have to select mission and while she is talking "poacher" (hit "x" (on xbox) ) is still grayed out. 7) Do Legendary when you can, but some are irritating and not worth the time. The boar and beaver were easy but the elk one, way up north, escaped me because the terrain was difficult. I don't think I'd try that one again while trying to level up. Best thing about the Legendary/Poacher ones, I'm always in a single player lobby (just me!) I'm liking the clothes, so far. I've got the Madam Nazar items I could, as well as the six gold coat from Gus (the only thing NOT requiring animal parts.) I'm waiting until level 20 to start wholesale murdering animals again, for the materials for the other clothing items (as well as credit in the scrapbook.) For a LONG time the only "fix": I've wanted, more than content, was just animal spawns working with 16 plus players in a lobby. So I'm basically happy to play again I got THAT, with some content.

The best post today. Triple like from me . Arena Wars completely polarized people and I've got a lot of theories as to why: The most anal pricing system ever used, ever. Buy a car, do it up at great expense, realize it's absolutely hideous and then pay again to get it all removed. Madness, let alone experimenting with other versions of each vehicle. The loading times between events! That extra minute when the commentators ramble about how many women they have slept with, it's almost excruciating. And treating consecutive games like a playlist when it's not, so gradually watching players drop off until hardly anyone is left because of the clock countdown system. Make your mind up, Rockstar. Followed by the black and red screens of death between games. Reboot needed. Actually, I'm a fan of AW because of the immense trophy and award system, not so much the stingy AP that takes months to accumulate, but the massive amount of detail put into the awards. I'm also a fan of military vehicles because I think they have a beauty in their own right and shouldn't be hated just because they're used for killing. I don't know; there's something about an Issi Classic rusted to death with tons of rebar and distortions that I love.

The podium pic says "Ends August 10".

Im ok with the DLC being relased 08/11, only problem is two weeks of sh*tty arena discount again, its the same setting from a few months ago... come on... From the other hand i have no reason to spend until the new stuff comes out... hope we get more classic cars and less weird propotypes (excluding the one they show) More Classic Pfisters like

The update is likely dropping 11/13 august...in the end the podium cars was something to put in consideration, they stopped adding then weeks ago , really curious to see what they can pull out as a mediocre filler . I hope they drop a newswire soon to confirm the date so i can call sick at My work...boss i don't feel good *cough cough*...Even for a small dlc the anticipation in the thread is amazing and see the content earlier is a plus, gotta love da forum

Anyone else not give a f*ck about what cars they release, so long as we get new garage space of some kind?

Bet my bum we get a trailer tomorrow.

AW had a ton of potential, and I had a ton of fun during my immense grind of it, but it falls flat in so many places. The atmosphere would feel so much better if it didn't force this "tv gameshow" bs down your throat the whole time imo, hearing them commentate the same 3 lines about gun turrets or drones coming into the arena is so grinding when i'm trying to focus. And like most things, it isn't balanced at all. The deathbike can either be one hit killed via mines or explosions, or it can't. And when it can't, the bike is virtually invincible. The cerberus is literally only useful if you accept the 90 deaths that follow as playing as a bomb ball goalie, but even then any upgraded sasquatch or deathbike is just gonna ruin you or shunt you out of the way in 5 seconds and make a goal anyway. The bruiser, slamvan, imperator, impaler and dominator were obsoleted at launch. The only other vehicle with a unique gimmick or potential (the vamos) was ultimately scrapped, and the other potential contenders (the manchez, cognoscenti, tempesta) weren't even brought back later on. The huge paywall for what is the same adversary mode pay system is absolutely unacceptable as well. The AP you get is so paltry that it's more efficient to gamble in the spectator box, the rng unlocks bar pegasus vehicles makes the price inflation they did on every upgrade and clothing item in the game mandatory unless you really want to grind the same meta-riddled game modes for a year plus. I do think some of the hate AW got was unjustified, as it did add a lot to the game with the chance of including them in the future (emp mechanics, kinetic physics used by mines/the up n' atomizer for example) and not to mention the absolutely gorgeous muscle cars that were added, and the rather nice soundtrack that followed, so nice that i'm honestly surprised isn't being used for more modes instead of the beyond stale smuggler's run tracks nowadays. It feels like they at least half-tried on it, but half assing anything doesn't quite cut it thx for reading my essay ^^

Found something on reddit about the saddlebags: "The bearpaw looks like a big bears paw and also only allows you to have the 5 outfits and 5 hats. Was pretty salty after I bought it and realised that it's not as good as the collectors saddlebag" =/ Guess I'll stick to collector's.

New headband, new poncho, new left hand rings...

Remember Rockstarf*ggot? Man, those were times. small archive: https://boards.fireden.net/_/search/username/rockstar fa**ot/

Shame she’s an omnipotent PETA harpy that knows when I unload some buckshot in a grizzly’s skull on the other side of the map, and chastises me for daring to defend my life looks ain’t everything

Why do folk quote posts that have a list of images? f*ck sake, put it in spoilers. I already saw the original, I don't need to scroll through it 50 times.

I'd much rather a themeless DLC. The upside of a themeless DLC is that we'll hopefully get a more diverse selection of content. AW is hands down my least favorite update, it's so one note and boring. You can tell a lot of work went into it and that effort could have been used on a much better theme IMO. AW should have been a series of adversary modes tacked on to updates like racing modes have been.

Tbh I'd rather take ArenaWar part 2 electric boogaloo than a DLC without a theme at all. Or yet another dlc with even more of stunt races... If R* didn't screw it up it would be a decent addition to the game At least they would have an opportunity to fix it with part 2 - Nerf / remove the bike cause it makes every other vehicle pointless (you should fall from the bike if someone hits you hard enough. I guess that would work as a nerf) - Add other modes like DM, survivals, LTS, deadline, proper destruction derby, some RC modes etc - Make Arena War version of some popular fan made modes like Insurgents vs RPG - New maps and props - fix the unlock system and add better rewards - Add minigames from casino and arcade to the waiting room edit: plus all of this

Hold up, because Arena War SHOULD have a Part 2. However, it should primarily consist of; - Arena War Vehicle Armour being buffed in Freeroam. - Arena War Promotion Work (AW version of Import/Export's VIP Work, tied to what vehicles you own and allow you to earn AP in a new way). - and possibly, if they can get the actors for Alan, Bryony and Sasha back, a mini storyline, Arena War Contact Missions, Arena War Games vs NPC's in which we take on a new "rival character", to save our "career". The punchline being... those additions would make Arena War what it SHOULD have been in the first place.

I need

Feeling good about the 11th/13th.

Stop posting sh*tty reddit "leaks".

Credit where it's due, I have to be honest and see that animal spawns are fixed as well as the disappearing camp, so far. Still, far too late. These bugs should have been fixed almost a year ago already. New bug noticed, though. When leaving my horse a few hundred yards back, dealing with a Harriet mission, it won't respond to whistles. Same goes for fast traveling, except when you initiate the FT while on horseback.

Gus should give you legendary missions like Harriet does but we actually get to kill the animals.

Everyone is gonna be sorely disappointed if they're expecting LC. Lmfao.

The No. "8. Declasse Drift Yosemite" is ready to be eliminated 1. Nagasaki Outlaw - 34 2. Karin Everon - 38 3. Karin Sultan Classic - 44 4. Bravado Gauntlet Classic - 41 -2 5. Vapid Ellie - 50 6. Lampadati Komoda - 56 7. Vapid Retinue MK II - 40 +1 8. Declasse Drift Yosemite - 2 -2 9. Dinka Sugoi - 28 10. Ocelot Jugular - 57 11. Maibatus Manchez - 32 12. Sh𝔦tzu Defiler - 28 13. Weeny Issi Classic - 32 14. Maxwell Asbo - 30 15. Ubermacht Sentinel Classic - 59 +1

Hopefully they add new missions to the old businesses and add new vehicles to import/export with the next update

Trailer 2 weeks before release? Unlikely. Did they ever done that before? At best newswire post today / tomorrow

So as I was falling behind with updating my old cars, I fixed the Picador: - Fixed normals - Fixed extra1 (car parts), now has all new models - Higher resolution badges - The bumper lights are now reverse lights instead of brake lights

What i learned the most from speculating for years on GTA:O is this: If you dont expect anything, you can't be dissappointed. However, even Rockstar can make me feel dissappointed even when i didn't expect anything.

Yep but of course there's those certain fanboys that PRAISE every update R* churns out. This is definitely the worst update, it adds literally nothing new. It's just a copy/paste of both the Collector role AND the SP commendium achievements When can we have the content from SP we actually want? The Outlaw sh*t? It's a cowboy game not National Geographic! I don't want to work for some PETA-aligned bitch

I literally only want one and it's f*cking beautiful.

I have a few thoughts regarding the naturalist update that might be controversial to most people here but please read the entire thing before getting angry at me. I personally think this update is a game changer for the better, in a couple of years when RDO is booming we will be able to look back at this update and say this was the start of it all. It is not a perfect update by any means and I will list both pros and cons. Before I get into that I have a few thoughts. I do believe the role stuff was finished before they had to work from home, and the rest of the time was spent on update fixes, which why there were so many qabeta updates. @IzzyBlues93 you were 100% right and I am willing to admit I was 100% wrong when it came to them having issues with mocap, clearly that affected them and slowed them down. I wish I was right but no i was wrong. Which is also why i think we will get a transformation of a current role instead of a new role at the end of the year (let's hope I am wrong about that because if they are planning on adding a new heist to GTAO they must be expecting to do mocap at some point this year). Below I will list pros and cons for this update. CONS: 1) Only 1 role 2) If you are not into hunting the role won't work for you 3) OP3 is same price as OP2 but with 20 less levels 4) The first few levels of the naturalist role are terrible 5) The role outfits are terrible (worst ones yet) I know people have more cons but for me personally those are the only cons. PROS: 1) For me (I love hunting in RDO) the role is awesome 2) I am not mad at them patching the collector role because it was expected and I have another money method that I will share with people once I test it properly (It is waiting for a jeanropke legendary animals map, and me hitting level 20, I am currently level 10 naturalist). 3) The trapper is really cool and give R* the option to add a lot more content in the future. 4) The legendary animals are really cool and have been integrated really well through the open world and missions (we don't even have the cool ones yet) 5) The dripfeed for this update is actually gonna last a while which is cool 6) For completionists this update will last months, even if you play everyday 7) THE BUG FIXES (I cannot not emphasize this enough, OMG dynamic events and animals are everywhere it is mind blowing, RDO feels like a completely different game with everything working properly. 8 ) They have set up a foundation where they can add so much in the future by fixing the game. Clearly the few months of just focusing on bug fixes really transformed the game. 9) Once you pass rank 5 and start unlocking missions from Harriot for legendary animals the role becomes really fun. 10) The new weapons are awesome (I LOVE the new bow and the new variant you buy from the trapper) 11) They added some unique gameplay features through Harriot (They are actually making you have to choose plus they make you think about the things you do). 12) Unlike madam Nazar, Harriot and Gus are all over the map (super convenient) 13) The community made outfits that will come because of the trapper will be insane. 14) I really like the new daily challenge system 15) campfire is a game changer (I just need them to add a gril so I can cook more than one meat at a time) 16) I personally enjoy the new gameplay loop (I am telling you all once I get my money method tested and share it with you all it will be awesome) I also love what they will do regarding the Halloween pass, I think that is an AMAZING idea. I see them adding something new all the time from this game. I wouldn't expect anything truly massive (Mexico, zombies, or heists) untill mid 2022 on PS5 and XboxSX. I could be wrong about zombies and we see them this Halloween. I think they are building an incredible foundation for this game and this update was a major step up. Again I know it is all personal preference, fortunately for me this update is fun and I enjoy it, I know not everyone does, All I am asking is look at all the positives, I am not trying to change your opinion, I am just telling you where I am coming from when I praise this update throughout the coming months.

///Mmmmmmm... Yes please.

Yep, mostly anyway, lol. Of course I'd love some cool new cars, but if they only added a couple with this summer update and a ton of garage spaces, I'd be delighted to own many cars/trucks etc that are already here. Maybe then I'd even get a Vagrant, hey @SummerFreeze. ^ Dude gets me.

the current event week is lasting for two weeks, it's August 11th.

Skinner that gets stuck inside the tree at the ambush spot during "The tool box" is still there. First person animation for holding the tool box is broken. It's morphed with John's hand. Abigail still shows up at Beechers Hope before she's supposed to appear. She sweeps the dirt and cleans invisible windows while hovering above the ground. Beechers Hope as a whole Is still broken. Chores randomly stop forever, saddle still spawns on the roof, nobody ever sleeps and when they go indoors they teleport outside immediately etc
