Yes, hate this.

 

The deathmatch filters & creator mode bugs are causing me massive miff right now.

 

I just want to design & enjoy interesting shootouts.

Really, really annoying.

 

I had a friend flat out quit GTA Online back in 2013 because of annoyances with the game.

 

I think the filters is where he reached his breaking point.

Yeah these are quite annoying. Another thing that I find frustrating in a Deathmatch is all the pieces of text that pop up either at the top of the screen or on the left. Like for example along the top you get this huge bar that sometimes obscures your view that just tells you who has just picked up bullshark testosterone or who is the power player. If it isn't about me directly then why do I need to know? Then you get the text popping up on the left of the screen that keeps telling you who just killed who. This usually doesn't obscure your view so much granted but I do find it annoying and a bit distracting. In particular this can be an issue in a match which has been designed in such a way where there is inevitably a lot of player deaths as then it is pretty much constantly flashing up with new information about who just killed who.

i was a avid deathmatch player in IV, played them all the time.

 

small deathmatch maps and the flashing screens are the reason why i became a freeroam griefer!

The filters and loser perk things in Deathmatch are the whole reason why I don't do Deathmatch at all whatsoever. Getting a killstreak gives you an annoying filter which is like giving the leader a disadvantage. So useless.

Yeah, it is also annoying, I made about this problem a thread http://gtaforums.com/topic/761913-ui-improvement/?do=findComment&comment=1066834766

I would also remove those additional options for players who died more than 3 times in a row.

Gotta love R* logic!

 

ARE YOU WINNING ON A 4 KILL STREAK IN A DEATHMATCH?! HERE'S YOUR REWARD, A HANGOVER FILTER THAT'LL MAKE YOU WANNA BARF AND LOSE THE GAME!

 

ARE YOU LOSING ON A 4 DEATH STREAK?! HERE'S THE SAME SICKENING FILTER THAT WILL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER GET A KILL AND MAKE YOU THROW YOUR FAMILY INTO A PIT AND POUR GASOLINE OVER THEIR HALF-CONSCIOUS BODIES AND BLOW THEM INTO A BURST FLAMES OUT OF RAAAGE!

 

I'm really not to fond of the flashy things that pop up on screen during deathmatches.

If we're talking about the colour-warped blurry filter added during a kill streak or a losing streak (because yes, let's make it even more difficult for a losing player to get back in the game!) then yes, I'm really annoyed by that. I wouldn't mind if it was removed from both kill streak players, losing streak players and also when using bullshark testosterone pick ups.

I don't have this problem because I have played 22 mins of DM in over 50days play time ;)

 

I have seen it on videos on YouTube and it does seem quite ridiculous, unfortunately i think you will be fighting a losing battle to get it changed.

...unfortunately i think you will be fighting a losing battle to get it changed.

i think it could happen some time, i mean who would have though that they would put a special icon for the tank?

 

people bitched about that for a long time and they added the icon.

 

im sure eventually they would add the option to turn the flashing screens off from the host menu.

I was moaning about this sh*t more than a year ago. I don't think it will be fixed.

If you spam about this to [email protected] they probably will fix this. A sent them 82 mails in 5 minutes from gmail.

How about a nicely worded email listing valid points, just spamming the inbox with thousands of messages is just going to end up with most of them going in the bin. Take time and explain clearly the issues you have and suggest some solutions and they may listen.

Do that too much and they're gonna think you're a bot and mark all emails from your address as spam.

I doubt that they can notice 1 email among hundreds of others. I gave them link to this thread, so they can see opinions of other people.

I'm immune to it now. I'm in a flashing screen so often in Deathmatches that I see the flashing in my real life now.
Like, I'll be in line at the bagel shop and if I get the last bagel------the world starts flashing in front of me.

GTA V Gameplay video that was released in 2013 didnt have this kill flash. Watch the part where Franklin kills ballas members at Lamar Down mission. I dont know if it had killstreak filter or losing filter because it doesnt show DM.

I dislike it as well. It disorients you when you are on a killstreak, essentially punishing a player for playing well... not only that, but a player on a killstreak is constantly displayed on the enemies radar...

 

it's as if Rockstar doesn't want you to kick ass.

The flash doesnt bother me, the killstreak filter sucks. Getting painted on the radar for everyone because your the power player annoys me. I would like matches to be more about stealth and tactics.

Yup, it's definitley annoying, whether in deathmatches or in any other kind of combat.

 

Seriously, what the hell was going through R*'s head when they assumed "Hey, making the screen flash when a player gets a kill is a great ideia!"?

I get a Max Payne 3 vibe whenever that happens and that effect, while cool in Max Payne 3, is a bit overblown in the GTA Online
