Friends Of Friends Blips

Recommended Posts

Anybody else find it stupid that we have blips for friends and crew mates but not friends of friends?

 

We've all had incidents where we've accidentally killed friends of our friends before you could tell each other they are friendly a war has broken out between em.

 

The Online is almost a year old and R* has implemented a bunch of useless stuff but the one thing that could be useful they have never added.

Yeah I agree, I mean whilst it wouldn't really be a big deal for me it is something that really should be implemented.

What are you smoking today cobra? the game has received numerous updates and fixes to improve the overall experience, I cannot think of any other game that has changed as much since launch (all for the better I might add) so if I EVER(!) read anything from you again along the lines of 'useless updates' I'll be on you like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in snowstorm! :p

That would pretty much mean that 'friends of friends' blip will show up for everyone on GTA Online. Nearly everyone would be a friend of a friend.

 

Having a blip for it is pointless.

This is a big problem for me. I usually play with a friend that has one or two of their friends playing with them. I get into gunfights, the minimap gets cluttered, I accidentally kill them, they start killing me, etc...

 

We also need an option to have low attack priority for friends of friends.

It would only show the friend of your friend who is in the session with you which is most likely one or two so no it wouldn't.

 

How many friends of yours have friends that come into your session and play with you guys? one or two?

 

Those guys would be the only ones you see and everybody else in the session would stay the normal blip

Other games with more updates since launch in a year?

Need for Speed World and at the time those were for the better of the game

Friend of a friend, of a friend, of another friend, friend of the other friend of the friend of that guy etc, etc...it's a never ending cycle.

No only friends of your friends should have blips not friends of your friends friends

 

Friendception!

Or..Maybe an option like the highlight player option where it would give their blip a different color and be able to set low attack priority.

I cant even count the times I've been near others who are non hostile and have killed or been killed accidentally.

Especially when doing some bodywork on a car or beating down some peds.

Also, as f*cked up as it was. I kinda miss the original online game before all the patches

It was raw, unforgiving and FUN!!

I Miss the Mechanic.. He was unpedictable and made it more fun.

Not geared toward draining money to entice players to buy shark cards.. (Yep I said IT!!)

Although I do like the way they balanced out the mission payouts and made more player play a wider variety of missions now.. Took them long enough..

that's what the other crew associations are for. friend of a friend= join crew...it's simple enough to use the system already in place. If that friend of a friend isn't crew worthy they deserve to die anyway.

I've been accidentally killed by FRIENDS or crew members, not sure how this idea would be of benefit.

 

If there was a network/ally system maybe - but then we just end up in a tribal/murder strangers system.

 

No system is perfect.

I agree. It's so inconvenient to get on my mic or send a message informing my friends that Dumgamez is my friend, try to not kill them.

This is a game breaker.

What's the max number of friends you can add? I lost my old MrJohn666 profile a year or two ago, had to add a few close friends, been adding new ones since, but I seem to be able to add friends of friends without warnings that I have maxed out.

 

Maybe OP needs to delete a few people? Start with the Netflix users, they're never coming back.

I don't know why crew+friend are different colors in the first place. Friendly is friendly, so adding "friends of friends"(just 1 degree out, i.e. "share a friend") to that list would be helpful as well. Make them all the bright blue. Also bright blue if they are in any of your crews, not just your active crew. I'd go with:

 

Friendly in any way described above: BLUE CIRCLE

Killed you at least once in the past + not friendly in any way: RED CIRCLE

 

Call it a Friends and Enemies Update, and make it so you can give cash to friends as well (maybe only up to $50k in a game day). For Enemies, Lester and MW give you a 10% discount on services.

I ended up in a server with three crewmembers AND two or three of my friends. I left. It was just far too confusing...

No. Use party chat to communicate or even texts to communicate.

I'd prefer 16 different blip colors like IV had. Then we can talked about the rings outside the blips

 

"Hey I'm the sh*t brown color, don't shoot me."

 

"Hey I'm MLP pink, I'm cool."

 

Definitely loved that system, jokes aside.
