One problem with the Casino if it's ever released...

[Homemade Dynamite]

I think we all know the Casino will be coming eventually. It just stands outside with the sign "Coming Soon!" as if just to tease you. The Casino was leaked a while back, but it was presumably held off due the last-gen limitations. Well, now that it's next-gen, I can easily see this coming out sometime after they finally fix the server issues.

 

See, if there's one place in GTA Online where non-violence is key, it's the Casino. The Casino should be a place where people get together and hangout. Play some Poker, Blackjack, bet on races, go drinking ect. This should be a place where you make new friends while making (or losing) money. Call it a "truce zone", if you will.

 

However, there is one thing that will definitely be an issue when it's released. I can definitely see some jackass camping outside the Casino with powerful weapons, killing anyone who comes near the Casino. This would turn the whole place into a warzone, preventing anyone from getting inside and it would be completely ruin the whole point of the Casino if it was just a place to lure people into gun fights. Mindless gun fights can be done literally anywhere else, we don't need to ruin an entire feature just to have a little more.

 

This will definitely happen unless R* implemented some kind of countermeasure to prevent it from happening. What would you suggest? My idea is that the damage you do to others within the vicinity of the Casino bounces back at you while they take no damage. So instead of killing them, you'll only kill yourself. What do you have in mind? Discuss.

I'd suggest having an army of missile toting cyborgs that deal with any problems that may arise on the casino grounds. This way everyone has a fun time sitting around and yelling at eachother over the microphone.

That would make it the go to place for people trying to grief. Step outside boundary zone and shoot someone. When they retaliate they walk back into the zone and the other player kills himself. I agree that if they open the Cas it would likely become the new LS front line but im not sure your idea would work. Would need some more nutting out.

 

EDIT: Possibly have several spawn points outside. Like when you exit your garage and someone is nearby it will spawn you generally out of harms way. Maybe have say 6 different spawn locations around the Casino.

Passive mode enabled for all players within a certain radius.

[YogurtStorm]

I'm pretty sure Rockstar would just make the casino inside a separate instance, disconnected from free mode similar to starting a game of golf or whatever. Hopefully I'm wrong, I'm always down for more free roam activities.

Yeah an auto enabled PM would work. Have it activate for 30 seconds after exiting the Cas.

Would be even better than how strip club does it, yeah?

Um... isn't that one reason why R* lets you start missions from the pause menu map?? No issue here, just need a little brain power.

[RByers91]

I'm sure they could just implement the same thing they do when you're in an apartment. No weapons, no punching, just walk/run/emotes/interactions.

[devildante11]

I can also Image that getting into the casino itself would also be a nuisance. Can see it now.. some guy doing circles in a tank blowing up anyone that dares to set foot within the area.

 

Maybe.. The enter casino option could be on your phone, you wanna enter you lose all weapons and are put into passive mode and leaving puts you back at the spot that you brought your phone up at or your property.

Assuming this is only happening on next-gen and/or for some reason next-gen passive mode is done by last gen as well, passive mode within a radius is enough. Even if there's 5 tanks lined up, you could ghost through all of them.

 

Of course inside, it would be like apartment or strip club.

[Sour Aura]

Why not just use passive mode?

[CrysisAverted]

When you enter the casino you have to pass through the metal detector, at this point we have our heists room converted to an armory because lel heists when

We leave our guns at home, if we try to enter the casino with guns the metal detector goes off and so does your flesh as 4 flamethrowers attached to either side of you sets you aflame

[/thread]

[devildante11]

I think it would probably best to just have it as a seperate instance, I can Image casino's being popular for like a month and then not get touched anymore would be kinda annoying to be in a full free roam session sat at a poker table waiting for someone else to appear.

[Dottie]

Enable passive mode

Enter casino

donate to native american owners play casino games

leave casino (you'll still be in passive mode)

carry on about your day

/problem solved

[Homemade Dynamite]

And if you kill someone in the casino,Instant 5 star wanted level,actually,6 stars,why? Because f*ck you

Except I imagine that Casino would be an interior like the Apartments.

Yeah,but unless the casino has a drive-through,i dont see the problem with that.

 

Plus,as far i'm aware Next gen passive mode is basically Ghost mode.

[Homemade Dynamite]

Sorry for not knowing how next-gen passive mode works. I haven't been able to play free roam long enough because the damn server keeps disconnecting.

[devildante11]

Here's hoping that the casino has a bar, maybe If you drink just a little to much you wake up in a random location on the map.. Oh the fun that could be had! I'm sure that the casino (assuming it's actually coming) will be a blast.

[Headdogg81]

^ If you pass out I want the ability to pick your pocket and steal your pokie money.

Ahh, a bit of petty robbery I like that alot I am still hoping that we get a poke the passed out guy with a stick animation as well.

[minifat]

OP, your countermeasure is so horrible, even Rockstar wouldn't do it. Really, restricting open areas of gun fights? Damage back to the attacker? There's Passive Mode AND two different menus to access minigames and modes.
