Your opinion.

[Nasir_Jones]

Who thinks that R* should just get rid of the cloud servers? They're obviously constantly running into problems. I say they just get rid of the cloud and go back to the original save on your hard drive. I'm disappointed with the turn out of Gta Online.

 

Yes that means a lot of people will lose there money and cars and such but so far it doesn't seem like any progress being made (I could be wrong). I don't think things will be fully fixed and enjoyable for a while, Gta VI will be out by then. Post your opinions below, I wanna see what you guys think.

Also it would give everybody a fresh start. I think they should do it.

I think it will all sort itself out when the numbers of people trying to play at the same time goes down with time. This is known as the 'Launch time blues' in MMORPG's as there are often problems with online game launches, especially if they are very popular titles.

 

The problem with save files on a HD is they can be hacked much easier, then there would be many complaints about hackers ruining the game.

well I find the hard drive save is needed, cloud should be for next generation. That's what I think of when I hear cloud. But if R* manages to fix this then that's good, so far it looks like I'll be playing BF4 beta until this all gets fixed.

Main issue is, the cloud saves were already hacked. People figured out how to send fake data to the RS cloud before it was even online. Have to agree with OP here, use it when its tested and ready for a full scale deployment. Move the saves back to the HDD. And stick to hiring people to monitor for cheaters. They should anyways since the hackers ALREADY hacked it. smh

[JohnGazman]

Dump the cloud save as the main data. Only have a cloud save as a backup. Instead use a console-stored encrypted/copy-proof save file. Yes, some people will still try to hack it, but if the file is copy-proof it'll deter most players and the hackers may be more noticeable.

I totally agree, but I have a feeling R* won't try this, they're gonna be too worried about getting the cloud fixed and by then it'll already be months and months down the road. I feel like dumping the server and putting our saves on our hard drives would be a lot faster and easier, thus players being able to enjoy the game while they fix the cloud and use it for back up.

As I said in another thread, the cloud should just be the middle man, sending your stats to the social club. Once on there, it should act as a "hard copy" and there should be no way in hell it can be removed, or de-sync'd.

 

 

I disagree with having things in the save data, because people would hack stats within 24 hours, and people would have infinite money etc, that is the EXACT reason why they will NOT do this. It would render the cash cards pointless for them to make money.

wouldn't this be possible anyways in a few years even if it's on the cloud? I would much rather have people with unlimited money and nicest houses than a completely sh*t experience online.

[AJ Lee]

Well I'm not sure dude, I think the cloud is theirs, nobody can edit data in there. When stats are on a save file you could copy it from USB to your PC and fiddle around with values etc

 

But I agree I would take that over this sh*t experience! It cannot stay like this.

I'm glad somebody sees where I'm coming from. I would email or tweet R* but they never reply to me so it's just useless. I just want to have fun online without any worries.

A PS3 HDD is a standard HDD, pretty easy to drop in a PC, and an Xbox 360 is the same with a special adapter port. You can easily;A remove from the adapter casing, or B. use the cable MS made to hook up the drive via USB. Copy proof would do absolutely nothing

 

 

But i think you're on to something. Why not a save on local, and a backup, and just have the servers check to see if the data matches when you log onto GTA:O for the FIRST time each session. Not only would it cut down the deletion problems, but they could get away with alot less server usage.

I think we should replace all the R* developers with you. Seriously this problem needs to be fixed, I don't even wanna touch Gta until it is fully fixed.

[Born_Homicidal]

I agree since you know I barely did any of their missions that I don't even like.. so for me I wouldn't mind starting fresh.

[Juzt]

Cloud = No Hackers/They eventually get caught and eradicated

 

HD = a nightmare for those who want to play the game properly without being stalked n killed by super nerds 24/7

me neither, I'm only at a level 10 anyways. Plus I would like a fresh start since I lost all my money because of stupid deaths.

[blk95ta]

they need to do something. i have now lost 2 characters and i don't think i'm going to make another one. i was really excited for this gta online but after spending probably a good 24-30 hrs of game play time and losing it all (well all but $180k in money) i'm not sure i want to attempt a 3rd character. i've heard of people losing 3 4 5 or even 6 characters.

I don't mind hackers at all, that's what friends & crew, solo sessions are for so you don't have to be playingn with hackers.

yeah I wouldn't risk it, I just took Gta V out of my ps3 and put it in it's case and threw it to the side. I'm not touching it until there is a complete fix with no more problems.

Thats fair enough. But thats not an option for everyone. At least this way you still get to do all of what you suggested while those who don't/can't can still play their game in peace. To an extent

[Juzt]

Don't get me wrong though I see where you're coming from.

[imjamesscott]

If they got rid of cloud servers the people who havent got kicked would be replaced my hackers. Lose lose regardless.

[Nasir_Jones]

good, I mean they can't make everyone happy by their choices but I hope they come up with something soon. This is getting ridiculous

I realise you're being sarcastic but what you're saying makes sense. Why didn't they think of something so obvious?,
