Firetruck Nerf

[jeremy34567]

Why do they have to take out the water from the fire truck like WTF, does Rockstar even want us to have any fun anymore?Hey man, a fire truck never hurt anyone?

 

RIP Fun Times

It was a mistake, and the fire hose functionality will be added back in later.

[Fail_At_GTA]

Rockstar removed it to protect passive mode players but immediately called it a 'mistake' after the backlash.

i know why, but I'm just wonder R* thought process, oh lets take something away that is harmless, might as well make passive mode characters' transparent so we can't run them over again

[CrysisAverted]

Glitches happen accidentally, messing with one thing can often effect other things. The firetruck losing its water ability is just a spoof like R* allowing several walls to be breached.

[Misanthrope Z]

hopefully when it returns, it won't be able to be used against passive players

 

it's retarded as sh*t that it did in the first place because ingame, it's generally a weapon

 

weapons shouldn't hurt passive players on foot

I'm not sure you do.

 

It was an accident, they didn't purposely take it out and then seconds after removal realize that it was a stupid idea.

This guy kept killing my friend with his tank, I went and saved him by killing the Tank Griefer with my own Tank, He proceeded to go Passive so I stole a nearby firetruck to kill him. Its a bitch but this game needs some way of getting even with people like this.

i completely agree, and i've posted an idea to solve this in a thread a while back

 

basically, they should alter the timer for when you can use passive mode

 

instead of an automatic set time, make the time increase by how many times you kill a different player (not infinitely, i'd say it should max out to about 5 minutes, after that, you can either stop killing people for that 5 minutes, or keep f*cking with people and accept a 5 minute ass beating when they get an advantage over you)

 

this way if you're a complete asswipe, you can't puss out before people get even with you

Rockstar took out tank sniping. Took away bad sport and insurance costs against tankers. They made passive mode completely useless. They nerfed payouts They completely f*cked up the blip system in captures and deathmatches.

 

I think the majority of the community all think these were stupid decisions, way more stupid than taking the water hose off the fire truck.

 

So out of all these f*ck ups, why would R* choose to backpedal on the Fire truck?

 

They aren't, it was a mistake in the patch like they said it was, so put your foil hats away and wait patiently for them to fix it some time this century.

 

Oh and HERE is the source.

haven't played in about a month. Tried to firehose some guy in passive today and noticed the nerf. Devastated.

i really hate getting run over when i'm in passive mode.

That was me three days ago... I thought something was wrong then I remember reading something like that a month ago. Still ran the guy over though.

Stand on something taller. Oldest trick now.

Wonder if it's usable again at Tuesday... or if the wallbreaches are fixed. Or the freezes. Or the dozen of Glitches, like the tank insurance thing. But probably... nothing will change.

Someone in this thread is "Butthurtz"

 

Here is a hint. He is of the same nationality as Schumacher.

i'm going off topic a little but it seems that the console freezes are internet related, i've had it happen reccently in another xbox game.

or if your being tank griefed just hide behind a wall, they can't get you that way.

What's all this about Firetrucks killing Passive players? Just ram them with your car, most players aren't smart enough to avoid it.

But yeah, I got in one earlier today and wondered if I'd forgotten how they worked. I get the idea of helping passive players, but why nerf firetrucks of all vehicles? Just doesn't make sense.

I am so sorry for your loss.

[jtet37]
