Why is there no option for lobbies without Police?

Shark cards no really. It adds up

tired of police? 5k for 3 mins of peace

remove wanted level 100 to 600

die by police 500 hospital bill plus what you drop

cat impounded? Steal it and get killed again or pay 250. Too far away? Most would call another car therefore having to pay an insurance cost

No it doesn't really add up and if you say it does your either bad at math or a liar. When compared to the costs of buying and modding cars its a fraction.it is a fraction but its still a considerable cost added together. Anyone saying its no is bad at math and are the kiddies who think sitting in RR for 15 mins for 27k is better than 14k x3 in the same amount of time

 

Dropped or stolen 230k

healthcare 500k

spent on contact services 1m

 

Now obviously my stats are over a year and not all deaths were police but still most of my contact services have been lester remove wanted or blind eye

GTA is (and has always) been based around engaging in illegal activity and trying to get away with it.

 

If there are no police/authorities etc then whats the point ? you take away the whole point of the game, it'd be like playing football (soccer) with no goal at each end of the pitch.

 

I don't understand the issue with getting a wanted level, its not like its difficult to escape the police - just drive off road or find an alleyway to hide in.

It would be nice to be able to have random shootouts in the streets without the police turning up and ruining it...

And dont say to me go play deathmatches because its not the same as what I meant

A prime time example of how over zealous the cops are is how five cop cars get to the middle of nowhere in ten seconds after the only other person around is murdered

Makes the game too easy. You don't get to have a consequence free experience. Unrealistic.

 

Take your pick of reasons why the cops shouldn't be turned off.

How much money have you made from jobs? or selling cars. How much have you spent on property or buying and modding vehicles, ten times that amount, twenty times that amount? Your own post proves how the monetary cost is meaningless.

Its bad enough that lobbies are split between free aim and assisted aim, getting into a full lobby is rare as it is, so imagine if they added free aim and assisted aim copless lobbies, that would create 4 lobby classes that would offer half empty lobbies.

 

f*ck that.

They could implement an option that makes cops turn blind eye to ye like the passive mode(free), but then again, they're a selfish money hungry son of a beachs that dont give an f to costumers.

Because GTAO is an MMO, sorry this isn't GTA IV where you can get a ton of options for your own lobbies. I'm 99% sure R* will never give people the ability to make their own lobbies with their own rules as it would not only fracture the player base into a million tiny pieces, it would also be exploited to sh*t for numerous things.

Turn off console.

 

No police.

 

Seriously though, it's how the game is. I really wish that more people remembered (or even knew) what gaming was like when it first became a popular thing. You got the game. You played it. You liked it or you didn't. If you didn't then you didn't play it again. You didn't campaign endlessly for something to be added/removed/modified just because it didn't suit your own personal utopian vision. People these days are too fucking needy.

 

If you don't like it then play a different game.

I'd be fine for cops if they wouldnt be so overaggressive and start hunting you if you shoot a wood plank with a silenced pistol in the desert with no one around.

They wanted the police to act overly aggressive, like they do in Real Life. Adds to the realism in the end. Which is annoying at time's also.

A cop bumped into me and instant 2 stars, tried to get arrested but they shot me dead. Still is fun tho.

OP they had it in 4 idk why its not in this one, but right now i know the game in that aspect probably won't change so I deal with it, but booooyyyyy you put a no cops lobby out on this sucka. All hell would break loose y'all know good and well you would do all kinds of things knowing the cops don't exists. OP how about this man.......what if we replace the cops with just a riot lobby........because the pedestrians are always acting soft. Its time the citizens take up arms against the players so they can fight for there freedom to get in the way on the highway or have the freedom to block you from driving forward. NPCs FTW!!!!!!

Your own post proves how the monetary cost is meaningless.my stats dont matter. 1.3 billion jobs ect. If you were around in December ect you will know stats are f*cked. When there were glitches i did em. Actual money legitly earned prolly less than 10 million 1.5 million is 20 to 25 dollars so yeah the fraction i have spent is still a chunk of change i dont have

But its not 1.5 million, your lying and misrepresenting the facts. Your including the costs of death by other players and in missions into the the cost of having police in the lobby. "Contact Services" also includes all insurance costs including those billed to you when you destroy someone elses PV.

I remember that! Scary sheet man!! LOL :D

 

Thread has sort of turned into 'pros and cons for no cop lobbies' so anyone else know a possible reason why it wasn't repeated in V?

 

It seems to come down to, as someone explained earlier, that R* are now hosting the servers and so more lobbies would mean more expense for them?

Because this isn't GTA 4. It's GTA 5. Different game.

I accept the presence of police, but you attain stars for the stupidest reasons. I cant stand next to a cop for 10 seconds without getting 2 stars and getting shot.

It wouldn't be a bad thing, nothing ruins a freemode death match quicker than the police!
But I guess they are just doing their duty and protecting Los Santos.

this has been discussed almost as many times as "Will heists ever come?"

The fact is, MOST people would like to see an option-based lobby system, adding more freedom and customization to the game.

The reality is, GTA O doesn't have this because it doesn't fit R*'s vision of a RPG game that sucks money out your pockets quicker than a whore sucks like a vacuum.

 

 

this has been discussed to death. It won't happen.

 

btw: id rather go back to GTA IV's p2p network system than R*'s cloud chit because it's pretty much obvious R* has no effin clue on how to run and maintain a server.

I don't see why there couldn't be a lobby that doesn't allow you to gain/spend money, or gain experience that lets you control the police/weather/time.

They can make No-Police Free Roam, of course, while the rule will not be valid in contact missions.

 

But again, who are we to legitimately have fun, right? Despite of having spent 60 bucks on it, of course.

No idea man, IV had it, so why V which is supposed to be better than IV's multiplayer doesn't have it?

 

Very Simple, Free Roam in IV was a peer to peer game. R* did not need to set up hundreds of different servers for all the possible combinations. They just let like minded players hook up in tailored lobbies through matchmaking. Downside is limited numbers of players in lobbies and much easier to cheat, hack, mod etc....

 

GTA V is not p2p in Free roam, so every lobby option creates the need for a separate server set - up. So we have less lobby options but more players.

 

The gaming world is moving away from p2p games
