Your thoughts on the new payout system

[The_Mossberg500]

f*ck yeah LOL. Take your time with missions knowing you'll get more money for it.

 

Either smoke in between, you can even go around killing pedestrians to get money to pay for your armor or Peg vehicles you've called up. When you get 20k for a Gerald mission doing nothing, it makes everything cool.

 

It's much better this way, RR was boring and they should have done this long ago considering there's so many more missions that are much more fun but would pay out dirt. Anyone against this is just bitter or doesn't get the concept. These are the same people who would grind out RR all day and claim it's fun. The patch hurt no one and it encourages people to play every mission and try out new things.

 

 

Has anyone tried Survival? Does it still pay the same?

Im pretty sure its still $30k. Last one i did was sawmill a week ago.

It's fantastic. I was skeptical at first, as I wasn't sure what changes they had made or how it would work exactly. But it's had a great effect on the game, I actually only got Rooftop Rumble a few times today by going Quick Job, randoms are more willing to participate in more jobs now, and it's actually possible to keep a lobby going at last! It's always good finding a good set of randoms that play well and doing a series of missions with them, everyone just used to leave during the RR days.

[NBAKingzFan10]

I'll probably get a ton of flak for this, but I always thought missions were the most boring, tedious, and repetitious aspect of the game. Most of the objectives are recycled from other missions (with slight tweaks) as they mostly involve stealing a vehicle, collecting a package, or killing a person or group of people; how original. Also, the AI is completely predictable and unchallenging, most times.

 

Honestly, the only reason I still play most missions is because it's still the best means of earning RP and $$$; money that R* cleverly makes you need. If money weren't an issue, I would probably opt for the more fun, unpredictable, activities like racing or deathmatches. No one race or DM is ever the same as the last, but every missions is. It's more fun (to me) to try and account for human unpredictability than it is to know how the AI is going to act every single mission.

 

But I digress. Obviously most people like this change and that all that really matters. As much as I don't like this update, I'm in the vocal minority and should just learn to deal with it.

 

Oh, and the need for calling people names preemptively is rather immature and uncalled for. You can easily make your point for OR against this update without resorting to personal attacks... or can you?

Another bonus I see is that players are more often choosing to select a second mission from the voting screen and continuing to play instead of going back to free mode.

I hated that, if it wasn't RR then it wouldn't be any other mission. Love it now!

[Sw1ft562]

i like what they did to a lot of missions. got 20k on trash talk the other day. (with 3 other people)

 

blow up the trucks.. stop and listen to a song.. go finish the mission. +20k

 

 

(i also made a race thats about 4 minutes long.. 3,000rp and $5,048 every time. not bad for solo)

Moneywise? It's like freakin Christmas! I could do 5 missions and make a good day's earning.

RP wise? Just drop the Krupp Bagger 288 on my head.

Sugar Free NOS put it perfectly.

[BitPieStudios]

I dunno why, but the past few times i've tried to quick-join a mission using the "alone" option, I hang for a good 3-5 minutes or so, then join the job I want with no one in it but me.

That annoyed me, but as for the actual mission playing, i've had lots of fun!

[Kesh Kerds]

It's good,I can get invites from VARIETY of missions.

[xskinzcity]

feels good to make at least 10k for missions that should pay at least that much in real life. killing someone and getting paid 1500 is stupid and unrealistic.

[Luuk']

It's awesome. Now you get decently paid for a lot more missions, especially Gerald's ones.

[Shadow_Titan17]

Gerald is now paying well. But Simeon is still paying sh*t.

[Dottie]

Still hate it

Theres no efficiency anymore

Waste 15 minutes in one mission for $24k? how about no

You could do Old RR for over 56k in the time it takes to do one mission now for less than half of that

Its actually worse if the only thing you do is grind missions to make cash

Good thing im not a broke ass so i dont depend on missions for cash

I felt like you for the first week of the update, I was a hardcore grinder (yes, it's a real thing) and I did not like it all for getting money quick. I gave in and started joining random jobs and then I felt the same fun I used to have when I was like a level 50 trying to level up. Not only do I enjoy the variety of missions that are available, I also get some good cash for doing so. Maybe not as fast as grinding RR but what's the hurry, that Turismo I want isn't going to vanish.

Have fun. Ps sorry for the bad grammar.

[cjdavies]

Being invited to a variety of contact missions = yes.

[toolateaxeincar]

If R* start applying the same payout logic to all the other job types I will be very very happy.

[The Deadite]

I didn't even know they changed payouts? What has been changed so I don't need to play RR anymore?

[hercules1975]

Gerald is now paying well. But Simeon is still paying sh*t.

 

They all pay about the same now, if the rank level is the same and it takes the same time to complete a mission (with the same number of players) it doesn't matter who the job is from any more.

 

I.e. you could do a Simeon or Gerald mission solo on hard in 6 minutes and get paid (almost) exactly the same for doing a Martin mission of the same rank level requirement (Martin's start at 22).

 

Try doing Gerald's rank 45 mission 'Dish The Dirt' (you need to start up at the satellite dishes in order to complete the job in over 4 but under 6 minutes).

 

Then do 'Cleaning The Cat House', 'Dry Docking', Editor and the Thief, or Mixed Up With Coke and you will get the same payout if you finish any of these within the same time-frame (4.00 to 5.59).

I like it. I can get $9000 by doing Flood in LS River the fastest I can, but if I take my time in a mission like Trash Talk, I can get $16,000+. I'm satisfied with the new payouts. Plus RP isn't bad. ^_^

[CallumL]

To be honest, I don't see why people are crying about this. It's ridiculous. Go try the other jobs, because yes Rooftop was lowered, however many other missions payouts were raised.

[yakuza65]

all randoms i play with just rush through it. no one knows the longer you do nothing the more you get paid.

[theicide]

Yes, I'm loving. So much more variety knowing the payout is even. I was so tired of rooftop rumble. I'm not to concerned about making money now. I have both my garages full. And won't need money until rockstar lets us own 3 properties. So I just play a variety of missions, races and survivals for fun now.

10k for his blow up missions is easy money.

[Winonas]

I like it and welcome the random change of Missions.

[The_B1u3_Jay]

The increase in base pay is a welcome change, but making you earn more money for longer play time didn't work out the way they thought it would. Instead of making harder missions just pay more, it results in people just taking longer to maximize their pay.

 

They should have just looked at each mission individually and made a judgement call on a fair amount of pay for it.

 

^^This^^

 

It was confusing at first, but once you realise how missions work, its mutch easier to make money. Dont get me wrong. Its better than it was before, but it stil needs fixing. Another thing i think jobs could use and benifit from is giving the player bonus GTA$ for how they preform the jobs. i.e. Headshots, kills, assists, ETC...

 

It would also be nice for R* to fix the payouts in other game modes to.
