How much will mansions cost?

[Zeen_Team]

This is strictly from a roleplaying POV and for the players who enjoy hanging out in their apartments either by themselves or with other players:

 

It's nice sometimes to just go back to the protection of our apartments and take a break from doing jobs, driving around or participating in the free roam massacres. The only thing I can see being an issue with mansions is our inability to fully enjoy our property under the same protection we currently have in our apartment.

 

I don't think players owning the same mansions will be an issue because it's really not an issue right now with players owning the same apartments (or garages). It's not like we'll have to literally share the mansions (as far as the interior and garages go), but what about the backyards? Part of the allure of having mansions is having the pool and/or hot tub in the back yard. Since they are outside we won't be under the same protection as we are inside, so we really cant just chill and relax by the pool while planning what jobs or shenanigans to do next. All it takes is one random player to come along and get us sidetracked by killing us and then it's back to the mandatory 20 minute killing spree because you don't wanna let them get away with that sh*t...but that can get old.

I completely agree with you, if somehow they could make it where you pull up to the gate, it does exactly like it does with the apartment garage's entry. You basically just enter your own personal space. No one would be able to jump into your backyard and attack you, because you'd be off in your own little world and then once you leave your house out of the gate you'll be entered into the freeroam you just left. That's the only way I could possibly see that working. Which would exclude helipads I guess, but would still work for the most part. Honestly I'd love mansions, but I'd also be competely happy with a way to better customize our apartments instead.

first post here ... i think this is a nice idea but you have to look at all the variables that R* would need to account for.

 

Internal customisation - would be awesome but how many variations would this allow? its the same with the clothing stores - online is way more limited and different to SP.

 

Totally agree with the guy who says that apartments were necessary to make it appear everyone is not going into the same unit. same building yes, but not same unit within that building. easy get out for R* and easy for everyone to get on board with.

 

How annoyed would you be if you exit your mansion and some random exits his at the same time, you are both at the same front door... that would look stupid and would annoy people i imagine. I dont see mansions coming in or apartment customation.

I hope im wrong as R* created it in All SAints...

Basically your own mini invite only session within a public session. You reach the gate (or check point for helicopters to be stored, but not used on the grounds) and the grounds become your own little playground with friends invited to come over and possible use their vehicles and weapons outside the house. People can still cross your lawn in the public domain, but won't be seen or influence your world. Cheeky deathmatches could be held with betting between players (or races if the property is really big, like a farm)

[ashbashbluesfan]

yeah only way it would work is if the mansion was in its own separate area to the world outside.

Apartments make sense because you can have 60 floors with 4 apartments per floor. Each player is in a different apt. Lets say apt 40 for 400,00 is one of 16 identical apt amongst 4 floors. Makes a lot more sense than 16 people living in the same mansion pulling out of the same driveway with the same damn swimming pool in the back yard. They'd have to have at least 1000 buyable mansions to make it so you were never in the same lobby as someone who owns the same mansion as you. As well as friends and crew members not being able to have the same mansion.

 

Sick maiden you are clearly retarded if you can't understand that logic and you think mansions will ever be a thing.

May as well make a thread asking how much flying unicorns are going to cost when they come out.

May b 60 floors but there are only 2 apartments at most (some only have 1 ) in each building you can buy! I havn't run into anyone in the halls yet. and I think everyone pulls out of the same driveway now. If your having trouble suspending belief ponder this; with 240 apartments in that building the garage must hold over 2400 cars!

 

Regardless whether its mansions, houses, trailers, cardboard boxes or apartments, they will all work the same. The facades and interiors will look different.

[Cudwieser]

What! There are flying Unicorns. I want one. It could be friends with the bigfoot i met in single player and keep the ghost away that's up the mountain. The UFO might steal it though.

 

Use your imagination Arti. Jcph3 is right. An infinitely large apartment might disguise a lot of logistics, but to have a mansion should be no more a push than the apartments. It's the same mayhem at the entrance at eclipse towers that you predict for the mansions. All you have to do is put the entrance at the gate and count the grounds as the interior (a garage) with a mansion acting as an extended apartment. The interaction of outsiders on your lawn can simply be controlled by high hedges and other in game tropes such as teleportation.

There are plenty of apartments in Vancouver where i live that can hold 2400 cars. Its called a multi level parking garage and a lot of them even include personal enclosed garages within the multi level parking garage.

 

If i live in the same apt building as three online friends and we are all sitting on our couches, it is easy to assume that two of your pals live above you while the other on lives right below or whatever.

The most desirable mansion entrance/exit would become the new Eclipse Tower.

^this guy gets it but you fartsisntfeelz i cant believe is so hard for you to comprehend that you are beyond retarded if anything a attention whore on these forums quit acting like you know everything when you know nothing if you dont like the post ignore it but to call it stupid that reflects back to you only you are ratrded in a special kind of way which requires you to wear a bib from the tons of drool that runs down your mouth and wearing a sticker bombed my lil pony helmet.

Ya, so my Alta street garage has 24 floors underground at least.

 

If a real apartment garage can hold 2400 then there are probably closer to 1200 units not 240. In the US we call buildings with that many inhabitants "housing projects".

[Cudwieser]

In Ireland we call them housing estates or high rise estates. Never those numbers though..

[muddeprived]

I just want a small cabin in the woods, with a 20 car pole barn out back!

 

THIS!

shieetttttttttttttt in cali what you are describing fartsisntfeelz we call them the projects "the ghetto" now i understand why you are so angry jacking wifi from your neighbors much ? well back OT per full session there are 16 players and if 5-6 mansions were available at 5-10 million only 4 players will have one of the mansions to fartsisntfeelz its called "probability" and also it would be cool if it was unlocked at level 100 and again it will balance it out , if 2 player in the same session owned the same house its not like they are gonna leave at the same time if they were (it has happened to me in my apt) they have "spawn protection" when they leave, they obviously wont be seen with you inside your own mansion if you were both in it at the same time unless that person was invited

i dont think mansions would be more than 5 mill . i mean the ztype was brought down from 10 mill to just under 1 mill for mp

you are forgetting that making money in SP was easier than MP hence stock market and owned property missions

that is EXACTLY why i am saying mansions wont be more than 5 mill

[dalec89]

just give me an option to buy a house, the hell with a mansion lol i'd just live in Mirror park and have 2 cars in the yard, store the rest in a garage somewhere

[artisntrealz]

Haha Vancouver doesnt have "housing projects" nothing but class in this city. There are parking garages with like 15 floors here. You can probably fit 100 cars per floor in these things. Thats what makes people owning the same apartment realistic. Cant do that with mansions. Driving up to my personal garage and seeing some other player driving out in his ugly ratrod? Dumb dumb dumb.

 

I can guarantee there will never be any buyable mansions for the one fact of how stupid it would be to walk out my back door to see some other character chilling by my pool drinking MY MARGARITAS. Thinking its his pool or something cause he bought the same mansion as me.

Dumb idea in my opinion.

[Con9mm]

5 Million - 15 Million sounds fair to me.

Do you see them chilling on your couch now? Ever run into anyone in your shower? Anybody drinking your wine now, or toking up on your bong? Why do you think a house will be any different? Your sharing a garage with millions of Ratloaders now!

 

Really dude, Vancouver is filled with some extremely imaginative and creative people, go talk to a few.

he just doesnt get it no point into going thru details with him anyways ratloaders are dope i just dont own one but maybe one day

[Mr_Goldcard]

This my friends is exactly how people overhype a game. Who the f*ck said anything about mansions?? They haven't even mentioned anything about mansions and you guys are already making a topic about how much they will cost. WTF.

[da_illest101]

I don't care if 16 people goes to the same mansion, it's a game not real life. 1 to 10 millions and one 100 millions to catch hackers and modders. For real all I care is having space for 30+ cars

[InactiveNew]

screw your mansions i want a place isolated hidden with a secret 15-20 car garage. Then ill pay millions of my hard thought in game cash

You guys need to stop clinging to false information released by some dumbass that never played story mode.

[The Lonesome Drifter]

Lol I'm not living in a mansion with 100.000 other players, it was bad enougth with over a million roommates back in eclipse towers :S

 

I'll stick with my 6 garage apartment by the beach. All I need is for rock star to let us own both a house and a garage, so I can buy the 10 car garage near the dockside ammunition aswell as my home...

[ashbashbluesfan]

 

 

 

It could work if it was like a gated community of identical mansions, you would go to the gate and warp in to 1 of the mansions and when you left you'd be driving out that gate.

[iBUCKEYE]

I just want more garage space...
