This......is a step in the right direction

Prepare yourselves for the massive amount of "Payouts still aren't enough!" threads. I predict there will be one every 30 seconds, like usual.

Correct. The game is targetted in a way to generate the sale of cash cards, so the average player won't feel rich - and thus unsatisfied with mission payouts.

I am curious about how their changes alter game play though - GTA$ bonus for playing with friends is a nice touch.

$1 is an "increased payout", people are acting as if they're going up 2x or something

Look, I'm not expecting 2x payout, but I am also not expecting $1 increase either.

 

If they were to increase it by 50%-60% I think alot of people would be happy. and requesting such an increase I think is also reasonable.

 

So pretty much pre- 1.08(?) reductions plus 10%-20%, That is what I would LIKE, now is it going to be that way, I don't know.

Step in what right direction? Why are you all only so focused on the god damn pay outs? So you have to maybe do a few less Roof Top Rumbles? Please.

 

It'll be moving in the right direction when they address ALL OF THE OTHER MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT PLAGUE THIS GAME. Because no, your payouts are not important. Not even close. Nor is this indicative of the "right direction". Until those patch notes ACTUALLY detail some meaningful fixes (not insignificant events that not even a percentile of users actually face), then no, still not in the right direction. You should be more worried about this game getting "fixed" before you worry about a couple $1000 more.

Yep, R* finally made me hyped up for one of their updates since they first announced the beach bum pack (why that one? Because it was their first)

 

Just in time too before the current-gen release, if these changes are better than ever then I will certainly give it more hours in-game than I used to, and definitely more fun.

Bust Out seems like a pain at first, but since you now always start out at the one bar and can't start it from in front of the police station in Paleto Bay I just drive up the highway on the wrong side of the road and then turn my car around and wait for the bus at the tunnel. You micro SMG the driver, pick up the prisoner, and then drive south until that one farm comes up where you can get on the tracks.

 

The thing I hate about Bust Out is the long uneventful drive back to Lester's. Still, it is worth the 15K. At least it doesn't have an annoying long drive like in Satellite Communications which I feel should pay as much as Rooftop does.

 

As it was said, if you just fly the Cargobob straight in American Exports and find a spot on the hill and hover over it then it is easy. Don't go too high or helis arrive and things go to crap real quick. Ever since they removed the heli from the radar at the end I've been unable to have it crash into the bridges while chasing me back to Lester's. It shoots my character from behind me somehow and I die instead of the Cargobob exploding.

 

Now, with 2 players the heli shows up when you start firing at the compound, but doesn't appear on the radar. It is hard to shoot the heli while in cover without seeing it on the radar.

 

My biggest fear with updates is the fixing of stuff that wasn't even broken and it worked just fine before.

 

 

I'm usually sniping the bus driver then picking up Gustavo. Try using chopper as your ride back and it will be much easier. You can simply evade stars in Buzzard, ocean is near. I don't do this mission with cars...

I'll try your tactic with AE, thanks, But still mission is unfair with that crap.

 

I just remembered another idiotic payout for good job: Boat in the bay. It either should be moved to Gerald or buffed up.

And don't even get me started on Gerald: Hit 'em up is a fantastic example of R* hypocrisy.

All new R* mission after High Life are paying crap.

They need to do something.. the prices of things are completely out of proportion to the payouts... Currently lvling up my second character and I'm virtually bankrupting myself just getting bulletproof tires for all my vehicles..

When you figure that a set of tyres costs more than the payout from RR for example, you know the system is screwed..

 

(won't even mention clothing costing stupid amounts either...)

[AgentExeider]

oh ho ho ho, f*ck yes!!!

 

 

• Cash rewards are no longer reduced by 50% on replay of a Contact Mission. Players will now receive the full reward for completing a Mission every time.
• Players now receive more Cash for playing Contact Missions in groups:
  • Two players - +10% Cash
  • Three players - +20% Cash
  • Four players - +30% Cash

 

Full rewards + additional up to 30% for playing with 4 players, hell yes. that's a whopping 80% increase, I am very pleased.

I'm focused on payouts because right now the content, what little of it that exists is extremely difficult to get, and more over keeping cash FLOW is very hard. Fixing the economy, specifically getting money to flow is step 1 of a VERY long list of things that need to be fixed in thsi game.

 

I gave up on new game play or even fixing glitches because in my opinion R* is a bunch of complacent f*ck ups. However, part of curtailing the DESIRE to glitch money is creating a cash FLOW for the game, notice I keep capitalizing on flow because having money flowing into and out of your pocket at a certain rate will allow the game to start having an economy instead of the rampant hoarding of money, I'm guilty of it too. As people get more confident that they can replace an X amount of cash in an X amount of reasonable time, then people will be liable to spend.

 

this will allow the creation and addition of new game play features that can plug into this economy, think about it, they had to increase payouts to make the jets and heli's more affordable, it was hard enough getting say an adder or even a zentorno in a reasonable amount of time, with the planes and heli's being 2 to 3 times more expensive then cars that puts them as VERY exessively expensive items. They could add new items all they want, or even come up with new game play IE heists but unless the pay is worth it, then the new content immediately get's filed as part of the grind, and that's not what R* wants.
