Side Missions

[Ai®a©ob®a]

Do you remember the side missions we could do in the other GTA series?

 

If R* would to put the side missions into online such as Taxi Pickups, Ambulace Pickup or answering Police Calls would you play them?

Sure.

 

Taxi missions would need to payout a few K.

 

Ambulace Pickup could either give more health or greater regen rate/duration.

 

Police could maybe give free body armor. Or the ability to acually call for a police cruiser.

 

Just some thoughts.

Yeah just like in the other side jobs you would receive a certain amount of money for your work.

 

The only real downside to it is, If you are doing this in a public lobby and some guy decides to come and mess with you while your doing it.

 

I think if they did this they would have to make it so players can't shoot you but also you can't shoot them back while you are on an active job.

As in how it works for gang attacks.

[Ai®a©ob®a]

As in how it works for gang attacks.

Pretty much yeah.

 

I think it'd be cool if we could do tow jobs but that wouldn't be possible since people would just go rouge with it unless they can figure out a way to keep it where unless you are active you can't lower the boom and only able to lower the boom for a specific car.

 

There are tons of side jobs R* could add to the game and i'm really surprise they didn't really add any.

Police jobs sound cool.

[Biohazard Abyss]

Can't say I would to be honest. They would be easily sabotaged by other players.

1. Encounters tank griefer

 

2. Blows up griefers tank

 

3. Tank griefer calls taxi

 

4. Gets killed by tank griefer

 

5. Tank griefer gets in taxi and activates job, becoming invincible

 

6. Tank griefer drives to pegasus spawn location to get another tank

What if part of the side missions like that would include Other online players?

 

Aka if one is in a taxi,, and somebody called for a ride. it would dispatch you to them.

 

And they could pick their destination similar to singleplayer.

 

Or the police computers could be accessible to show Current crimes in progress like in IV .. but would direct you to the asshole members causing trouble in the lobby.

Or robbing the gas stations and you would get points for helping keep the city clean stuff like that.

This is something I recommended on the Rockstar support forums.

We need free roam activities that can progress our characters. Not just missions that we enter, but actual things that let us do more in free roam. That ambulance mission thing is a very good idea.

I was also saying, there could be little things like hitman missions that randomly appear on the map, and anyone in the game has to go there and take them out. Once you kill the target, the game can reward you with shooting/weapon-related rewards. They could have exclusive weapon tints, or even little boosts to your shooting skill that give you different effects than everyone else for completing these missions.

 

I think GTAO in general could use some progressive gameplay apart from simply leveling up and unlocking things, but instead things that actually change up free roam and can potentially make you unique to everyone else in the lobby, despite your rank.

then get rid of getting tanks from pegasus

[Biohazard Abyss]

That's never going to happen, unfortunately.

Here is one idea on how you could implement police jobs into public matches. When you join a police job, not only would you respond to random calls but also crimes committed by other players in the lobby (ie. robbing stores, armored trucks, etc). Players who have a wanted level will show up on your map with a reward amount just like someone who has received a bounty from a NPC. You can use any means necessary to take out the wanted player and your brothers in blue will support you, but if you attack someone without a reward (stars) on them or a NPC then YOU become a criminal & get fired from the force. If another player attacks you while you're doing police jobs, then they would instantly receive a 2 star wanted level and your fellow officers would come to assist you.

Would absolutely do this. Vigiliante missions would be absolutely possible.

I want to bump this thread, because I think it is an issue that could make the online better.

But also, I was thinking that doing certain side missions, could also lead to things like discounts.

Completing a certain amount of hitman/assassination missions could lead to ammunation discounts.

Completing taxi missions could lead to vehicle customization discounts.

Completing missions for Simeon(or similar missions to these) that involve destroying cars to help his business could lead to vehicle purchase discounts.

And more could be done, but again, this is just an example I quickly thought of. I'm sure Rockstar could accomplish much more to expand free roam activities.
