Will this game ever have checkpoints?

[Kammakazi]

You know that one skating game that allows you to set a checkpoint and whenever you crash or whatever, you get to press a button and it brings you back to the checkpoint?

 

Do you think this would be a good idea? (Besides having some PVP abusers)

 

Imagine scaling the big mountain and having checkpoints there for skydiving or going downhill with your vehicle.

no, has no place in this game.

you want checkpoints then play some races IMO

[Eggobites90]

I wish we had this too. I would like it as a spawn location setting when joining a new lobby.

 

Similar to "Last Location" but at a checkpoint you set on the map instead.

It's bad enough we have checkpoints in SP...

[Furry_Monkey]

Makes about as much sense as a milk grater.

 

If you want the ability to be spawn killed with no way of stopping it, other than offing your console, then that's up to you. Personally, I like the fact that you don't know the exact spot I'm going to respawn after I die.

Well if you leave your milk in the fridge long enough......

...it makes even less sense to grate it!

[Grand Reacher]

Oh good lord no.

[Eggobites90]

What are you all so worried about?

 

What negative side effects would outweigh the convenience of this feature?

Why would you need it? You already spawn close to the spot you died on anyways.

[Vehicles]

Do you have any idea how this could be abused? People can place a checkpoint right in Zancudo and get jets after the jet have been destroyed.Or camp tank spawns,Simeon's garage,LSC and rooftops.

 

But I would be fine with it.

By the way,isn't spoiled milk supposed to turn into cheese?

spoiled milk would be more like cottage cheese or sour cream depending on what you want to do with it. but really though i see no reason to have it. as stated above it would be a bit easy to abuse this kind of feature IMO. it would basicly be like a teleport type of thing. if your switching sessions then go to that place you want to spawn at and set your options to last location and switch.

checkwhat?

skating game what?

 

no nuh uh you crazy 4 this one I don't even

[Eggobites90]

The downside to allowing this when switching sessions is minimal.

 

Btw, R* can set limits on it like no Zancudo spawn

[Dinlee]

OP this is a stupid idea, you are stupid.

Not only would this be nearly impossible to code for GTAO it would add no value to the game or satisfy anyone except unskilled morons like yourself. Good day sir.

[Kammakazi]

What? Why is everybody thinking of this PVP-wise?

 

I'm not really a pvp'er, I like to mess around with my friends. I like to jump off buildings and roll down mountains but the time it takes to come back to the exact point gets tedious.

 

Make sense? I guess I worded it very poorly.

[Eggobites90]

Basically if there is any possible downside to an idea these people didn't come up with themselves, they tear it to shreds

[8up local]

No you just think we are tearing it to shreds. If switching sessions last location works just as your asking, if you die you respawn near fhat place anyway. As for abuse there are some people who pvp and would abuse it like wall glitchers. Nothing wrong with the idea really, but it would be too easy to take advantage of IMO.
