Maybe don't die? I plan to just do missions, not go about buying ammo and trying to Kill All On Sight

[-Murder-]

I can't believe everyone actually finds the hospital bills this much of an issue. I can understand how it can take the fun out of free roam but really, it's only about 1,800 or so per death. Later on when everyone has good money it won't even be an issue anymore.

What is those c*nts contact adress

[RizV]

health insurance? BAHAHA you want something in a game that doesn't work in real 'murica

The hospital bill is judged on your existing balance. So it will just get higher and still be an issue if they don't fix it.

The percentage is 4% of your banked cash. However it caps out at 2000

I don't try to kill anyone infact i stay away from that sh*t. you can die in many different ways. Have you played the game? if not you will see what I mean. One example.. Die in a mission lose $2000 Finish the mission get $1000 Awesome logic.

 

Ride a bike into something you die

Fly out your car window you die

have fun driving over hills in a car... o wait then die.

 

Heaps of ways buddy.

 

Why should I have to watch what I do? I like smashing up cars and driving into sh*t.

Hi Guys, I sent a mail to Rock* as per the below. I understand that it is my personal opinion and that not everyone will agree with my sentiments. However would be good to know who shares my views and who doesnt. Mail below:

 

"So congrats on producing a phenomenal piece of media, it’s an absolute masterpiece with regards to the single player and the work you have put in is testament to the quality. It was great to have the all the cool things back in this iteration, all the things that made San Andreas so much fun.

 

So to start off I have been one of the luckier ones when it comes to online, I haven’t had many issues and have been able to play from day one. I’m not hugely frustrated by the technical issues at the moment, I expected them and you expected them. In a month from now all will be well in the world of GTA online, the issues but a distant memory and people will be having fun playing. While I understand that your current priorities are to solve the technical issues I believe there are some gameplay mechanics that will have far reaching effects on your player base and I would like to detail these issues below and offer possible solutions.

 

· Hospital Fees – Far too expensive and as is the nature of GTA death is commonplace. This is really detracting from letting loose and having a bit of fun, the fact that you also incur these costs on missions, in death matches and races is just a kick in the face to be completely frank. Having gang fights in free-roam with a bunch of mates against another group of players is absolutely thrilling and just downright good fun, that is until you realise you just lost 50% of your money - It’s heart-breaking stuff J

 

My Solution/s:

 

1. Do away with hospital fees altogether.

2. Like insurance on your car maybe we could take out health insurance for say 1000 and this would cover us for say 10 deaths (once you have died 10 times you need to purchase health insurance again, if you don’t you get charged the high per death fees again)

 

· Player Blips in Free-Roam: - I was really hoping you wouldn’t be able to see where other players are on the map but alas you can….all the time J. Now I understand there is a perk from Lester that will hide your blip (don’t know all the details but that’s pretty neat, it does however makes it easy for higher level griefers to grief lower players without the perk). I think at the very least we should have an option on whether or not we want player blips in free-roam. Without blips it would just be so much more thrilling and natural when you spot another player (just have a player name above their head when you are in range), it would just make for much more dynamic gameplay, it would be great to tail another player without him knowing – Stealth is fun J Not to mention it would almost eliminate griefing.

 

My Idea’s to enhance the no blip in free-roam:

 

I am aware that taking blips off the map ins free-roam will have knock-on effects on gameplay elements like bounties and Lester’s blip perk will be irrelevant so let me address those:

 

For bounties you can use your phone and see the other players in the free-roam session, if a player has a bounty then that contact can just be highlighted in red.

 

Now for the Lester perk in a free-roam session without player blips – Instead of his perk making your blip invisible how about using his ability to make another player visible. This perk shouldn’t be too cheap and the highlighted player should only be visible for say 10 minutes so you have enough of a window to smoke em without being able to grief him constantly for the next hour. To avoid wealthy players spamming this perk you should only be able to use it say 3 times a day.

 

 

I genuinely believe that if the above issues are addressed it would make for a much better open-world experience and if the forums are anything to go by so would the majority of your player base"

I wanted to send them an e-mail whats the e-mail adress? I am sick of losing money on the healthcare bills. If plently of people complain which im sure they will be it should get changed

[Zone-Tan]

2000 doesn't seem bad at all. It just forces people to do more missions instead of going on killing sprees and then getting killed for stuoid behavior

You don't really get what Im saying. Even if you stay away from all the killing and bullsh*t and do Missions you can still die and you can die alot in some cases losing $2000 each time. Heads shots are common from the enemy now making it easier to die in mission. I was hiding behind a car with half health them boom blood from my head and I'm dead.

Yep. I do the exact same thing, oddly I just don't die often. I recently took an Infernus all over Online. I explored the roofs of houses in the high mountains, jumped in mountains, got into a car chase with like 15+ cops, I was on and off roading hard core. Then I turned an SUV into a dune buggy and did loopty loops into subway around subway trains

can agree with OP but the no blip thing makes Snipers the ultimate Griefers if you cant see them on map, ofc this could easily be fixed if attackers will be made instant visible on map ^^

You cant just say "get good" and expect that to be okay! No matter how good you are you ar going to die a fair amount, especially if you are messing about in free-roam. Why should we be punished for having fun???

am i the only one who doesn't pay hospital bill when i die in missions/deathmatches/all that stuff? I only pay a hospital bill if i die in free roam...i think so anyways...im pretty damn sure.
