Bitching about the contact missions

[iddqdvie]

you can only enjoy all the missions with randoms when there is no "best mission". the new payout system should give you exactly what you want. the feeling of doing the best for your money PLUS having variety and fun.

 

the game should never have had ONE grinding mission!

[Kazic]

Diamonds are for Trevor (which is a short mission, mind you) is a hella lot better than Coveted.

Also, what about survivals? Don't start the "but ill lose so much ammo " bullsh*t, you can't spend more than 10k AT MAX if you're a good player. If you said that you waste ammo too much in survivals, then I highly suggest going to the Shooting Range at Ammo-Nation before starting.

I'll see how I like diamonds are for trevor, but survivals take too long and take too much ammo to be good grinding missions. 10k is way too much when I can just spend a few hundred on auto shottie shells or sniper rounds.

[LuapYllier]

I don't understand what you people need all this money for. I never grind,I don't glitch and I will never buy a cash card. I simply play the game at normal speeds doing whatever I get invites for or fancy doing. I earn about a quarter mil a night and I have never wanted for anything. I have been able to purchase every single item I ever wanted with no issue. The closest I came to wanting money was when the liberator came out I had 6k in the bank. Three days later purchased it no problem.

 

If your having money issues blame yourself not Rockstar. The game is nicely balanced right now.

You must be sucking at aiming then. Also, you don't spend a WHOLE 10k in survival due to ammo (who cares about ammo anyway?). The max thing is around 5k. That if you used explosives too.

[Euphorica]

Due to the fact they keep making it harder and harder, I refuse to grind. I money glitch as I haven't got the time to grind for money, and just like you I refuse to spend my money on virtual money. That sh*t is way too expensive.

 

I don't glitch but I understand anyone who would because the missions are incredibly boring. They're not the least bit of fun or challenging, that's why I don't bother.

That's why I don't have any GTA$. And luckily I don't need it either.

Seriously? Come on there doesn't have to be another one of these threads. There's a ton of these threads already. These arguments don't need to be rehashed over and over. Here's some for your reference.

There's also the b**** and moan thread. This seriously doesn't another thread.

Thanks for the links, didn't see a discussion like this on the front page, so I just started one.

Its okay, the threads get kinda full. I would suggest looking through at least the first 2 or 3 pages lol. Just read through the different opinions and perspectives already discussed there and post there. It will definitely be more useful and easier for you than to just start this discussion all over again. This topic should be locked.

Here's the thing about this game. If you want to be able to afford the stuff from past and/or future updates, you don't have time to play around in free roam.

Well, if you buy shark cards you do. Otherwise you are pretty much stuck grinding missions or any of the other less rewarding game modes continuously.

 

Now, If all the different game modes including contact missions we're equally viable in terms of making GTA$ as well as being fun and challenging, a lot less people would resort to glitching and cheating money.

To balance it out even more they could also make free roam itself a more viable place and option for making money.

THIS! Higher bounties would be great. I think Lesters kill targets should be expanded too. Have the NPCs actually run, and give them faster cars.

Yeah, no, obviously I don't spend 10k on ammo, but it's just math. There's way more enemies in a survival than just about any mission, not to mention the damn helicopters. A few hundred to replace the ammo from a mission vs a few thousand to replace it from a survival adds up though.

You need to remember that not everyone is as good as you aparently are. There was a thread in here yesterday where the guy was bitching about missions being damn near impossible even on easy mode. Just because you find them easy does not mean Rockstar did something wrong. It means you should be looking elsewhere for a challenge.

Do the math with me.

30,000 - 5,000 = ????

Super carsWhat about them? I own 5 supers and 3 classics among my 40 cars, and have swapped them whenever the desire arrose. At a mil a week they arent hard to come by unless you insist on having them yesterday.

30,000 - 5,000 = ????

Yes, but you're still not counting the time needed to complete a survival. Average survival round is maybe 1:30? So 15min for 25000 with a survival or 6 min for 13500 with a mission? Not to mention armor costs and the fact that I'm bad at survival and die a lot.

No, it means Rockstar should remove the boobs, cursing, alcohol and drug references so that the game gets the rating it deserves. Which is PEGI 7 (Europe).

1. 10 minutes.*
2. What armor? You pick up armor while playing the survival.
3. Maybe you should improve your skills then? I can solo Sawmill survival which is one of the hardest survivals.

Mostly agree with this.

 

I have played most Missions to Death however as I used them as my main means to make Money and Rank up for probably 100 - 120 of my 315 Ranks so they are Fun, but not like they used to be...really I prefer Deathmatches as every Match can be played differently, however without proper filters it can be a pain finding a good match...

 

That said, I think defending the in-game prices Relative to the ability to earn GTA$ from any combination of Jobs (grinding or otherwise) is impossible and this is the fundamental problem with GTA Online. I honestly have no idea how R* expect new players to be interested in GTA Online given prices versus earning potential/rate...

 

Do remember if you account for the Billionaire days, Payouts initially being larger and replaying Missions possible, money glitches in a variety of forms and a number of other factors such as this, a large portion of the player base has purchased content they would otherwise still be completing Jobs to afford.

Well, I'm impressed. I own one super car and I had to grind for it. My other cars are all fairly cheap but I got them through regular gameplay. There's also the warstock and the elitas stuff which most of it costs 1mil+.

Ok, you're talking out of your ass. Survivals do not take 10 minutes to complete.

And any survival can be done just by camping in one place.

 

15-20 minutes yes, but not 10.

Ok, well this is all just a case of me needing to get good at survival. I can't even solo Sandy survival, so kudos to you.
