should rockstar allow us to unlock car mods by solo racing?

[Killzone3265]

you are asking people if they want an easier way to unlock things?

 

come on man... what do you think people who glitch money, cheat, buy cash cards, and troll online games 10 hours a day are going to say....

seeing as how the only way to unlock race mods for other car classes are by boosting with a friend, it'd just be a sh*t load easier to give up on the race win unlock thing and just have it as rank or whatever

[iiGh0STt]

that is not the only way, and damn sure not the intended way to play a game.

no wonder video games last a week before everyone starts hating them now days.

try doing it as "intended" then come back to this thread

No one complained about this at launch when we were all grinding races. The unlocks came fast and furious even though as a Noob you had to compete against fully modded cars and full 8 - 16 player lobbies. No one was winning 50% of their races then but it didn't matter.

 

The problem came when R* nerfed racing, they should have adjusted the unlocks then. Now they need to add AI and allow solo racing.

Having to unlock vehicle mods in game that doesn't revolve around racing doesn't make any sense in the first place.

[NorthwindJME]

 

The race wins for unlocks is the only thing worse than everything being locked by ranks. I would have honestly rather had ranks lock it than wins.

 

But that being said, they shouldn't have been locked. If you had the money to upgrade your car, you should be able to upgrade it.

 

Having to win races to unlock upgrades you need to win races is the most ass backwards design for a GTA game.

 

Yeah, I could just race where upgraded cars are locked out. Too bad hardly anyone races in those.

 

I could just find someone to trade wins with, but at that point what's the f*cking point of even having them locked?

 

 

Is there any game out there outside of GTA that uses a system like this? Where you literally have to get 1st place multiple times to upgrade your vehicle?

Yeah but those are single player games.

no car mods should be tied to x amount of races won, stunt jumps completed or any of that sh*t.

 

everything unlocked, as long as you have the money you can buy it, regardless if your rank.

[iiGh0STt]

I did. it's how I unlocked everything early in the game. I raced instead of missions because all I wanted was to be able to buy a car and mod it.

 

sorry you feel the need to cheat and cannot enjoy a game without it.

 

also, no one said you had to race in a full lobby. 1v1 non friendly without cheating motives is still a race win. that said, I never was lucky enough to race 1v1..

 

learn to apply yourself, you would be surprised what it does for you in the real world.

no, it does not

 

try with a new character

Did it 5 mins ago for a friend, get your info correct please.

Being able to get the Upgrades by racing Solo...NO ...where would be the challenge in the unlock,I would favor either total wins across all classes or i would be for the wins adding up across several classes,

say wins in a ..Sports class also covered The Super Class

 

Sedans, Coupes, compacts counted together

 

OffRoad - SUV - Vans counted together (I only added the van class because of the Bison and Bobcat)

 

Muscle & Classic's counted together

 

Give Motorcycles a class of there own

 

I guess the Utility class could be counted across all classes, or make them part of the wins on Bicycles

 

But gaining the upgrades SOLO NO

 

The wins are not easy but they are also not that hard either

If you are the HOST

Start by

• Making a playlist of tracks you KNOW in a clean race winning is 50/50 skill and track knowledge..in races where everyone is no so skilled or relies on pitting and ramming winning is 70% track knowledge... set them up to try the move in a undesirable location for them
• Turning OFF Customs and put everyone in a equal car
• Turn OFF Catch Up since 60-70 percent of people in random races, like ramming and pitting, if your pretty good at countering them you can leave them behind as they fall victim to there own BS ....Catchup is Fun when your racing with friends on some tracks ..
• if you are a good driver Turn Catch UP Off and Traffic ON...this will really help with the people who only know how to pit and ram

50 wins is FAR too many if it's in every class - how will I ever get a fast SUV whilst also maintaining a real life? 50 wins over every class is attainable and gives you something to strive for. If what people are saying is true I think I'll end up going against everything I've ever said regarding glitching and let Michael mod me a car or two. It's taken me since Christmas to unlock turbo in super and that's only on my first character!

It's not true. Ever win a motorcycle race? Maybe once? Now go see how much stuff you have unlocked for bikes. ;p

[Crunch McThornbody]

I want the speed upgrades for my cars so they're beneficial during freeroam and missions, I don't want to have to do races to earn them, even if I find another player to farm them that still means a few dozen races I have to complete and for them to sit around doing nothing.

[Tehguy123]

It's a good thing I just unlocked all level 3 upgrades with my friend yesterday...

[prestonchan]

 

I remember I didnt win any race with super but I race with bikes

now I have all mod parts for any car, isnt this how it works? win with any type of car?

thats how it USED to work, it was a "bug"

 

now you have to win with each individual class, to unlock car mods

 

50 races for each one :|

 

oh wow....lucky me....

[hornedturtle]

soooo....a minimum of 400 wins to unlock all mods on all cars if your lucky enough. hell, in 500+ races I've only had 2 muscle car races, 0 suv races, 4 coupe races.....yep good luck new people.

[Zwenkwiel]

well some vehicles unlock stuff for all classes

I just did 50 wins on bikes or something and got everything for all classes

well except those metal paints cuz no1 ever does rally races

 

anyway I voted yes

kind of impossible for new players to beat more experienced players in fully modded vehicles 50 times or so

I like the idea of solo races unlocking vehicle mods. But not the solo race in GTA : Online now, no, I mean a race where you pit your skills against the AI, much like in SP.

I don't mind if the AI has the driving skills of a supercop or a pursuing gang member, just... Give me something other than racing with people on Long Haul 2 with supercars.

[spectre89]

 

 

How can it be a "race" if you're the only person there?

Time trial?

Just add a ghosts and try to beat yourself

 

("Ghosts" is a feature requested by some players)

Shut up.

[southernsontn]

They could at least allow unlocking for being 1st 2nd or 3rd, or being in a top x percentile of total players in that race..

[P.C.M.]

All my friends are dead.

[s_aint]

This could be a fix for this problem (for now) just change super to some other care you need the race wins in.
They may put it back to all cars add the win results

[reform]

No, they shouldn't, but they should make a lot of the performance mods (and less attractive visual mods) unlock just by completing races instead of having to win,

 

Just have the top level performance mods and best looking visual mods (kits and paint) unlock via wins, and everything else just via race completions.

[SALO or The 120 Days Of Sodom]

How can it be a "race" if you're the only person there?

they could make it like the first race we ever did online.. let us race bots (Lamar).

[Android76]

It still unlocks for all classes. I just did it right now, won races in an Elegy, went to LSC and had new upgrades for a motorbike.

[Cincy32]

Where did this BS come from that only super and motorcycle race wins unlock mods across all classes? Oh, I know, it's from the fact that the are the only two classes that anyone ever races.

When GTAVO first came out, the only class I raced was sedans as my first car was a Stanier and winning those sedan races unlocked mods for everything. You never had to be in just super or motorcycle class.

And to answer your question, hell no! Races aren't that hard to win and if it is that difficult for you then race only with friends or trade wins. If that doesn't work then just glitch in your vehicles from SP.

[Alec Skorpio]

I like how people are like "I did it when the game first released, man up!"

Well when the game first released, a majority of players didn't have anything unlocked. It was balanced back then.

Now it isn't balanced when a new player is racing against the majority who have fully modded cars.

Herp f*cking derp, guys.

[PkUnzipper]

well, seeing as how we cant do that, and they fixed that racing supers or bikes unlocks mods for every vehicle, i really think they should make it so we can unlock car mods by racing solo

 

face it, when in hell are you going to get 50 race wins for the SUV class NOW, no one races anything either than supers, sports, bikes, and then the low chance of muscle cars

 

it'll be extremely hard to unlock everything without having someone to "boost" with

 

yes i know they're racing crews, but thats just tedious in the long run

 

Yes. I for one, have given up on racing because I'm tired of dealing with the rammers and pitters who suck at racing. So they have to cheat/sabotage your vehicle in order to win. Making slipstream and catchup optional greatly improved this sort of behavior and odds of winning a clean race. Especially since it eliminated a LOT of the incompetent drivers in point to point races.

 

But with fewer racers willing to race clean, unlocking mods are going to take an impractically long amount of time for clean racers. So yeah, they need to consider adding this for those players like myself who prefer to remain playing GTAO in Solo or Invite only. But add AI racers like back in SP to provide some sort of challenge. That's about the only way I can think of which would give Solo/Invite Only racers a fair shot at unlocking those mods.
