You shouldn't be able to move in Passive Mode

[zoso80]

Yup. The new passive is a somewhat of an equalizer. I'm fine with that. Keeps the high level rambos from abusing lower levels too much.

 

Plus, OP, seriously - adjust your tactics man.

 

I agree a GTA vet adapts and figures out how to nail someone or achieve their objective.

 

This comes off as a schoolyard bully wanting his easy prey.

 

On the 360, and ps3 you can still be killed in passive. Your wonderful idea is a wet dream for people who want an easy K/D boost.

[EvilFuture]

Now in one session poeople are divided into players in passive mode and out of passive mode. I would like to get into a session with 29 active players, but people in passive mode only waste slots for people that want to actively take part in a session. This is an argument for the idea of separating people into sessions with friendly fire on and off.

 

I consider a passive mode useless. If you want to not be killed go to private session, buy clothes you need, buy ammo you need and go back to public session where are players that want actively take part in a session without any passive noobs wasting slots.

Sweet Jesus, you are hopeless. I do not even know where to begin. Firstly, let's go ahead and get some stuff out of the way...

 

1. Somebody is in passive mode, running for a tank. Oh no! What ever shall you do?! Blow the f*cking tank up before they get into it. Takes 3 homing launcher missiles.

 

2. If you don't manage to take out the tank in time, wait until they go out of passive mode and try to kill you. Again, it takes 3 shots from a homing launcher. Take cover, and blow up the tank, that I might add is made of f*cking cardboard now.

 

3. Apparently, everybody besides you in the game is a noob. I'll just go ahead and say that you have to be a pretty high rank to get a tank. Unless they cheated to get the rank, I would hardly call them a noob. You should know that by now, Mr. Level 170.

 

4. Your idea is perhaps one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. The ONLY, and I mean absolute ONLY way that would work is if there is separate lobby types. If you were in the warzone lobby, then yeah, passive mode is only for AFK. Otherwise, you might as well stick your dick in a cheese grater, it'd be a better idea than that.

 

5. "Actively take part in a session"? The f*ck is that sh*t? You're trying to tell us to go to an invite only session because some of us don't want to kill everything that moves. So, what, you're trying to say that if we do anything other than kill, we aren't taking part if a session or that we're pussies? It's FREE ROAM, meaning FREE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT. I'm pretty sure that if you're doing anything at all in a session, then you're actively taking part in it. Oh, but I completely forgot, we are wasting slots. LOL

 

6. Passive mode is made for people who just want to explore and have fun. Everybody has fun in different ways. If you have fun killing, awesome! Just leave the passive mode players alone, and stop coming to the forums and making 500 threads a day complaining about it.

 

7. Everything works how it should. If you see a red dot on the map, it is most likely a PVP'er, but perhaps they obtained the red dot from killing cops. Drive over there to see, and if they shoot at you, light em up! If you enjoy that kind of stuff, that's the players you should be drawn to. If a passive mode player sees another passive mode player on the map, they are most likely gonna go and try to make friends with them. At this point in time, with the new passive mode, there is no need for separate lobby types.

 

8. There are plenty of other, better solutions for your problem, that many others have pointed out. Rockstar should just completely disable passive mode when it comes to jets, tanks, pretty much anything that has weapons. You might argue that this isn't enough, that they can still go to the tank safely while in passive mode. I have the perfect solution for that! There could be a feature where passive mode completely disables within a certain distance of the tank. Kind of like an invisivle special crate circle around the tank, and when you step in it, passive mode is disabled.

 

Anyway, your idea is simply repulsive, so I thought I'd give my thoughts on the matter.

[Phil Collin]

Was in a war with alot of people, i Had cleared them all someone was passive mode went after me i was gonna do "Action" or something then he went off passive mode and kiled me. When tour in a war with like 2 pp and you literally ra.pe them one guy often goes passive mode and gets close to annoy me blow my cower and make it easier for his friend. And also you cant like see if he goes off passive mode.

[scaldy78]

How about an inability to call Pegasus while in passive or the ability to use any vehicles that have weapons. For crate drops just make it that a passive player can't pick anything up thus making him what he is, a spectator. When a player disables passive mode there should be a 1 or 2 minute cool down rather than 10 seconds and during the cool down the player can't use weapons but can be shot by other players. If u take an HPV in passive mode it automatically disables and due to the cool down period u get penalized by being prey with no way to defend yourself for a minute or 2.

True...pasive mode was so much better when during the cooldown you actualy coud kill the fag that tried to sneal up on you

When I pick up a ps4 next week I'm going to abuse the updated retarded passive-pussy mode feature to gain a tactical advantage. Then I will troll with my tank in pussy mode. Might as well abuse a retarded feature.

 

It's called private lobbies where you and your friends can play around if you are such a weakling pussy that can't handle your female avatar getting killed nubs.

You SHOULD be able to move in Passive Mode. But what you shouldn't be able to do, is:

 

1. Block rockets or missiles fired from non-passive players.
2. Steal Crate Drops.
3. Drive the High Profile Vehicle.
4. Access Pegasus Vehicles.
5. Use any phone service to help you (Your a ghost for crying out loud, what more help do you need?)

And finally, they should add a indicating flash to show that a player is going out of Passive Mode. That way, the little troll running around you doesn't suddenly whip out a Carbine and then go back to Passive right after,

[Titus001]

Real talk. The vast majority in here defending the retarded passive mode broken feature are usually the one's that abuse said feature. They come in here, act like this is a great feature, protecting innocent people minding their own business, like riding bikes, when in reality it is mostly abused by the lowest scum the gta online community has to offer instead. Anything to gain a tactical advantage from broken features like bullet proof rear super cars to abusing passive mode is fine by them.

[Mr. Crowley]

Real talk. The vast majority that have a problem with passive mode are the trolls and controlling fags that are mad they can't kill someone or force them to play the way they want to play. They are the lowest scum are mad they can't shoot someone in the back when they come out of an ls customs, or can't get a revenge kill on someone that got to something they wanted first. They are too incompetent and short sighted to figure out ways to have fun other than head to head combat and are angry that everyone else isn't the same.

1: Stupid Idea, sorry! Passive Mode wouldn't make sense at all if you could be shot down with a rocket.

 

2: I agree.

 

3: I agree.

 

4: So you think that even though I have bought a plane I shouldn't be able to fly it just because I am in Passive Mode? It makes no sense. Why should you be able to shoot me down if I am minding my own business? Steps should be taken to prevent abuse of Passive Mode, but this is not one of them.

 

5: On the PS4? I have checked (PS4) and I can't call mercenaries when I am in Passive Mode. If I could it would be unfair, yes! If it is possible in any way it should be stopped. I am not sure about the backup chopper though, but I'll check later today.

 

And yes It should be very easy to see if a person is going out of Passive Mode. I also think that the countdown should be somewhere between 30 to 60 seconds.

 

Perhaps it should only be possible to activate- and deactive Passive Mode from the apartment. That way a player can't suddenly get out of Passive Mode and shoot you in the back, and he can't shoot you first and then give you the taunt jerk in Passive Mode afterwards.

There is a reason why these pussy mode supporters are against a passive mode only lobby where they can check out eachothers female avatar ass while riding bikes in peace. Instead they are against an optional passive mode only lobby so they can abuse this feature in normal lobbies to gain a tactical advantage or troll instead. They aren't fooling me. I've seen too many people abuse passive mode to gain an advantage. Stealing my position up high, climbing a ladder to get to me while in passive only to disable it shooing me in the back while I'm paying attention below.

[htrgefdsa]

There shouldn't be passive mode in this game at all only pathetic losers use it to abuse it just remove that garbage and its even worse in next gen

 

If you see them just do the glitch where you can kill them while in passive then go into lobbies and do the God mode passive mode glitch then maybe rockstar will remove it

 

Every single problem in gta came from passive mode

[Nailbach]

 

Nah, that's not what passive mode should be used for. Obviously. But I agree there are certain things you shouldn't be able to enter while in passive mode, or enable passive mode while therein. Tanks, jets, hpvs, the immediate proximity of a crate drop, etc.

 

but i love to drive into crate drops in passive mode hidden from the radar just to snag it while others fight for it. makes the hatemail that much more fun

Nah. I do it old school. Breeze in there in a supercar/sportscar, stop with your driver door facing the drop and your passenger door facing the enemy, get out, take cover, grab crate, then switch sessions. That takes like, what, 2, 3 seconds? Plus the fact that you showed up out of freaking nowhere leaves them momentarily stunned.

 

The hatemail from that? Beautiful. "WTF I WAS WAITING FOR THE CRATE AHHHH" lol be faster next time.

[Shadowfennekin]

Stop bitching. This new Passive protects the HPV from "If I can't have it nobody can" people and prevents people from going after people to boost their KDR.

This is how Passive always should have been. Invulnerable to players, but not NPCs

Shouldn't be able to move in Passive Mode = Might as well don't have that feature.

You might say that passive mode is useful for people who just explore the world, those people should join to only invite session, not public.

 

And grow up. The world isn't yours.

 

Cry to your momma, but you can't play in public and expect people to follow your rule and be your killing targets.

Hello. You shouldn't be able to move in Passive Mode. Passive move has become a strategical weapon for noobs, An example: a noob switch to passive mode, goes for a tank. There is no way to prevent this noob from taking a tank. Passive mode should be for people who need to go to WC or go to drink something etc. You might say that passive mode is useful for people who just explore the world, those people should join to only invite session, not public.

You prevent the noob from taking the tank by blowing it up

[gawel772]

So in this thread everyone is saying that OP got owned, that he should stop crying etc? How can anyone defend people who use passive mode to gain an advantage in a battle? Unbelievable...

thanks,

[The_B1u3_Jay]

If your so worried about players in tanks/jets going into passive mode after griefing you, then why not go in passive mode youself to prevent him from griefing you in the first place? *Mind blown*

 

Passive mode on current-gen is near perfect and Its miles better than it was on last-gen.

Well, believe it or not, there are other things that can be considered as 'dealing' with public than just become a grieving target or disturbing other people, such as meeting different players and do activities like off roading, drag racing, or create mayhem against LSPD. Or hell, maybe even invited to TDM or Contact Missions.

 

I can understand that it is bad to abuse Passive Mode. But it seems OP just failed to satisfy himself in killing other players because he got outsmarted by someone who took advantage of the game mechanic.

If your so worried about players in tanks/jets going into passive mode after griefing you, then why not go in passive mode youself to prevent him griefing you in the first place? *Mind blown*

 

Because people, including him (most likely), have banned Passive Mode.

 

Passive mode threatens their masculinity and they are very insecure about it.

[Th3Butch3r]

I love the new passive mode but always disable it for the crate hunt. Only loosers stay in passive while crate hunting...

 

- fix the passive/god mode glitch

- disable passive for crate hunting, HPV, every vehicle except cars

 

that's it and everything is fixed and good.

[JC Hammer]

Lets talk about GTA forum myths... you know, opinions held by many here but that are only held by an infinitely small percentage in the actual game.

 

The Forum myth is that many (maybe half ) of these pacifists just want to be left alone while they shop and get their nails done...

 

The reality is that has always been less than 1% of pacifists in the game, the other 99% were and are using it to gain a combat advantage. ( In, whether you like it or not, is a combat situation)

 

There has always been a solution that would make things fair for both types of users, only let players go in and out of passive in their apartment or garages

[Titus001]

In the old days my crew would punish any tank scrub that would bring a tank to a gun fight. After the tank scrub was dealt with we would spawn kill him over and over again. When this tank scrub entered passive mode we would run him over and over again as punishment for bringing out a tank. Now this tank scrub can get his tank anytime he wants thanks to the updated pussy mode feature forcing us to spend money on rpg ammo to deal with a tank over and over again when before we would just spawn kill him until he left or trapping him if he refused to leave. It's was good fun payback denying him his tank as well.

you cant use tank cannon in passive mode, and you cant run anyone over either.

I don't know what's the problem with Passive Mode while Crate hunting.

 

1. Let's see the case here (PS3):

 

> Non Passive Mode user:

- Can use weapon? Yes

- Can kill NPC around? Yes

- Can be killed by NPC? Yes

- Can kill Passive User? No

- Can be killed by Passive User? No

- Can kill Passive Driver? Yes

- Can be killed by Passive Driver? Yes

 

> Passive Mode user:

- Can use weapon? No

- Can kill NPC around? No

- Can be killed by NPC? Yes

- Can kill Non-Passive User? No

- Can be killed by Non-Passive User? No

- Can kill Non-Passive Driver? No, except using vehicle.

- Can be killed by Non-Passive Driver? No (Yes, if hit)

 

See there? Passive Mode players on PS3 risk their survival more than Non-Passive User. And between both users, there's no way that one can gain more advantage than another when both modes are activated. You can't even kill each other.

 

LOL. Be more competent next time, 'pro players'!

passive mode is nice for going afk, nice for just telling someone that he can go f*ck himself with his attitude. nice for a situation where u dont want to give him the easy kill he just tried to get. but mainly its really just for being able to go afk outside of your house.
