Off the Radar: Pay for more?

[Intoxica7ed]

Would you guys/gals like to see more options for Lesters 'Off the Radar' ability? The more you pay the more time you get. I feel like the time that we get isn't long enough for certain tasks and would like options to have more time if we pay more. Also note that the longer you use it for the longer the cool-down.

It would be nice if we could double the time at least.

Depending upon what you're doing, double or triple isn't hard - you just need to be in a vehicle with other people who can make the call. We often have 3 glorious off the radar minutes.

Wow, I wasn't aware it worked like 'Remove wanted level' in that it takes all players in the vehicle off radar. That's pretty handy.

[.Vooodu.]

I hate the current radar system.. Id gladly pay $500 000 for an hour of off the radar. ..lol

That would be messed up.And fun at the same time. Looking at an empty minimap in a 10 player lobby.

It's too powerful to let people have it for more than a minute. I like the feature as is, but it doesn't need to be longer.

Ya.. but you can still hear players.. Especially if you use a snipe for some reason it amplifies sound when you seem into certain areas like.. Guns shots and police sirens. Id say theres plenty of ques to help find players who make alot of noise.

Powerful? maybe its just me but thats sounds sort of backwards.

 

The current radar system is to powerful. As it makes its easy to track down any player(s) you see. Which is why its so easy for players to troll others with it,

 

Which is why you get so many roof top snipers,, sticky bomb trolls and jet trolls.. The blips are easy to see..

I agree, when I fly a jet I can almost guarantee some of the people I grief want to go off the radar for more than a minute.

[Cjs3315]

It'd be nice to have like a five minute option, but no more than that. I wish blind eye was longer personally. I'd gladly spend $100,000-$150,000 to be cop free for the session. Or Rockstar could give us custom lobbies, but God forbid.

[GTK0HLK]

if it was increased, id want it to become, that once some one goes off the radar(everyone's blips disappear, and everyone else does not see their blip)

cause any increase of time, will make it plain BS.(O.R. player can't see anyone on (mini)map-unless friends/crew members(might need to tweak this though)-, players without O.R. can only see players without O.R.)

[InfernalOutcast]

First the "___ is off radar" thing needs to go. Then we can add things to it.

Lol right? I'm doing this to gain an edge now everybody and their mom is prepared for a sneak attack.

It's just splitting hairs. My point is, in a game where everyone is on radar all the time and everybody pays close attention to blip proximity, the guy who suddenly has no blip is king. Even with the feed telling everyone about it, as soon as you go off-radar you are far more deadly than anyone else in the lobby. So unless they're going to revise the radar entirely, no, I don't want that ability to be extended. One minute is plenty to get something (or a couple of somethings) done, while also being short enough of a time that an aware player can find ways to counter it until you come back on radar again.

5 mins would be great. But the cost should be at least $5k, so people wouldn't abuse it too much.

People would use it as often as possible. $5K, are you kidding? I've got $10.4 million and I'm far from being in the upper class of Los Santos. If I could be off radar for 5 minutes for $5K, I'd do this CONSTANTLY (just like I already use off-radar constantly).

 

As a side note, I feel like I'm one of the few people that is always arguing against changes that would directly benefit me. I'm a great Lazer pilot but I'd prefer the Lazer be nerfed. I use off-radar a lot, and effectively, but I don't want it available anymore than it is now. etc. Sometimes the easiest way to see what's wrong with a game - or potentially wrong, if it was changed at all - is to look at what helps you the most.

Ok, wow, no need to get mad at me.

[Furry_Monkey]

I'd go for 2 minutes, but for more than $1,000. Maybe $500 for 1 minute, as it currently is, and $5,000 for 2 minutes. I could live with that (and enjoy it).

I'm not mad at you. I guess tone on the internet is hard to get across. I'm just incredulous about your idea, which I don't think is a good one. You could charge $25,000 for 5 minutes of off-radar and people would still use it a lot and absolutely dominate the poor schmucks who have much less money. The price isn't the answer - it's just too potent an ability to give to anyone (at least at that length of time).

[Vassago1970]

I agree with more time OTR for more $....At the same time, I wish it was like it is in DM's, that is, you're OTR unless you are being noisy, or in the LOS...If that was the case, we could just call Lester to SHOW blips instead of hide them(again, like some people do in DM's)

 

All that aside, I think 2 minutes for 1500 should be the max, no need for 5 minutes or more, like someone else said, it's just to OP.

Cool down removes the option to spam it.

 

But stll... Who cares if players keep using it? . After a while, you would get better at playing without relying on the blips if people keep using it.
