This is exactly why you SHOULD enable passive mode when...

[SilkRiver2648]

how am I upset? I like to passive troll. The irony is everyone sooking about other players using passive mode coz they cant get their revenge on. Aww

[G4M6L3]

Op, how dare you use your brain and a bit of strategy. That is simply not welcome here. You've got to think of the GTA badasses e-peen and let them grief you.

 

It seems using a little bit of intelligence is not welcome these days. Guess I must be a rank 414 noob then(!) Well done OP on getting the upper hand.

I really don't see how using passive to accomplish something without giving another player a chance to seek revenge is 'getting the upper hand'..

 

I mean, I play differently. I don't use passive to avoid a death. I think it's extremely cheap and cheesy. Anyone who uses passive should hold a huge sign that says "I wish this game was Candy-Land!" while they're in passive or some sh*t..

 

Those who use passive to kill (excluding those that use it to kill wall-breachers - this is one of the only ways i'll use passive, then I'll jump back out of passive/glitch and kill him again legit.) shouldn't be playing any games with guns. It's in the same category as killing someone and immediately leaving the lobby to avoid death, I think. You aren't getting any UPPER hand... you're just using an extremely cheap tactic to get over on someone then cowering in passive to avoid death.

 

The new ghost passive mode is one of the main reasons why I haven't bought GTA 5 on the Xbox 1. I can just imagine that 90% of people are in passive in any lobby and if they aren't it's only for a brief moment to cheaply kill someone then avoid death by immediately jumping into passive. Besides die-hard trolling... in what twisted sense does this make a good tactic?

 

It's not a tactic.. you might as well just go place 5 prox mines in hot spots and go run into your house.. (oh great, probably gave another killer coward an idea.. lol) Also, what I just suggested here is not a tactic either... lmao Expensive cheapness at best.

 

Passive mode should strictly be used to play the game, as that.. passively. There should definitely be like a 5 minute timer or something after a kill and you should NOT be able to get into any HPV while in passive. Once you get in the HPV it should be immediately disabled. And no... not turned right back on after you step out of the car... another timer to avoid more bs 'tactics' lol.

op take the hint

[Mr. Crowley]

So I was just wondering, can you still put an ignition bomb on a vehicle if you're in passive?

 

It would be great for someone blocking the door with another vehicle.

Just get out and act like you wanted to move the vehicle, and just wait for the retard to jump into the hpv when you get out...

No anything that tries to kill another player is disabled like those land mines.

[Mr. Crowley]

So add it and leave passive mode like you want to protect the vehicle.

Even let the sucker shoot you while you are moving the vehicle

[NBAKingzFan10]

I love reading all the butthurt over passive mode. It's hilarious! What's even more hilarious are all the people who act like they know what the intention of passive mode is, and demonizing anyone who dare perverse their unfounded assumptions.

 

I've aways heard that, "if it's in the game, deal with it". Seems like people want to pick and choose what should, or shouldn't, have to be dealt with.

[Misanthrope Z]

whenever i decide to get this game for current gen, hopefully they finally give the extra character slots a use

 

then i can make a character that looks like Ghandi, stay in passive mode and sh*t on everyone's beds.

Yes, how dare we read the name of the feature and assume that it is intended for what it sounds like. Obviously they should rename it, "Passive + trolling/no-consequences mode."

 

I've aways heard that, "if it's in the game, deal with it". Seems like people want to pick and choose what should, or shouldn't, have to be dealt with.

 

Yes, like the players of all video games since video games were invented, we have opinions about features in the game and things that could be patched to work better. People who want things patched don't have the "deal with it" philosophy. They have a different philosophy, which I'd describe as "This could be improved - please do so." Maybe you're happy with things that suck simply because they already exist in their sucky form and it's easier to resist change. The rest of us will go on asking for change where appropriate (and sometimes where it's not - but that's up to the developer to decide, not you).

This forum is basically half nazis >_> anybody who thinks using passive mode is bad is a nazi basically, cause they are also the kind of people who kill on sight and can still look at themselves in a mirror.

I'm passive right now and minding my own business.

 

Just saying.....

You're not being fair. The prevailing opinion seems to be that the new Passive Mode which actually works is fine in general but could use some tweaks to how it behaves when it comes to competitive Free Roam events like HPVs, crates etc.

"competitive free roam event"? Oh really? So I guess the dude that chased a friend and I in a Buzzard when we grabbed the HPV wanted it for himself? We must have mistook his badly aimed missiles for stop signs(!)

I kill on sight with no issue, and rarely use passive for anything. If I happen to be nearby when someone takes the hpv I will do my best to destroy them if I am able.

I still have no problem with passive players. They simply don't want to play like me at the time.

I didn't have a problem with passive crate hunters either.

It made it more of a race to the crate rather than a deathmatch for it. I simply adjusted my tactics and hoped luck was on my side.

if someone is using it to get to a tank that doesn't bother me either. I will happily destroy them once they think they are safe inside it (this will go especially quickly if my crew is there too)

 

The only time I find it slightly annoying is when someone goes out of their way to kill you, then goes passive immediately afterwards.

 

The only real tweaks I think it should have is that you shouldn't be able to go passive for about 2 minutes after you kill a player. If in that 2 minutes you are killed by a player then the time limit can be removed and you could immediately go passive when you respawn.

 

Also Id say anyone that comes out of passive and kills another player within the 1 minute cooldown period they already have before being able to go passive again should have that 1 minute increased to 5 minutes before being allowed to enable it again.

I'd agree with that but 1 minute should be enough for any revenge if they stick around. They run, they get merc's, mugger and maybe a bounty as long as they stay in a vehicle.

I don't have a problem with people who are already in passive and get the HPV first, only people who go passive after killing the HPV's current driver.

 

I think the fairest solution would be to a) disable passive mode for a minute or two after you've killed another player and b) increase the payouts for people who complete Free Roam events without Passive

I say 2 because after they kill you then you already have to wait to respawn and then make your way back to them when it spawns you a block away. That eats at least half of that minute away. Edited January 18, 2015 by Mr. Crowley

This is some new sh*t here. So it;'s now ok to be in the HPV in passive as long as I was already passive? How about if a a friend kills the dude, I get in (already in passive), my friend gets in and goes passive and I deliver the HPV - is that considered ok? Just so I know as I want to roll with a clear conscience or I won't sleep.....actually, you know what? I couldn't give a flying wotnot. I'll keep playing the way I have been, some random doesn't like it, that's their problem.

One of the first things I did when I got on next gen, way back in November - realised I couldn't kill the dude in the HPV but I could call a mugger on him. He got mugged once the got paid for the car, I shot the mugger and was off on my merry way by the time he was out of passive. Dude spent an hour sending me hate messages, no actual revenge, just messages so I wound him up.

 

Just got to adapt to changes in the game, that's all.
