Imponte Duke O Death Appreciation Thread!

[ZANTHERA]

 

Which worn colour would look good on a DoD to have a postapocalyptic look? Sand yellow with secondary rusty red?

I'm not at PC right now, could someone try this one out?

Worn pure black :]

 

Nah too dark, I tried it, the nicest that looks like a slightly faded paint job is Worn Anthracite Black, you can also have matching wheel color. I know it's a normal Dukes but you get the idea.

 

 

 

I would take a pic on PC but I'm currently without a graphics card waiting for my new one arriving tomorrow.

Anyone else have a bad feeling that they are going to push the duke back another week?? I hope this isn't the case..

I dont see it coming tomorow. I hope yes but i think not

 

Absolutely everything points to a release today, what planet have you been on?. It's 99.9%

 

99.9% huh? Based on pure speculation and nothing more? How'd that work out for you?

.1% can happen. One in a thousand luck and you're acting like you won a lottery. Such wankerness. What are you saying about next week? That a Morbid muscle car is the Hearse?. Rockstar read the forums, they are plenty capable of withholding it just to be dicks. That's the kind of guys they are. They are probably still cut over us getting online in the first place

Tail wagging the dog. R* is changing up its (bi)weekly schedule and the dod is kind of a weird case, not being a new car. It could come Thursday, or the 17th, or whenever gunrunning comes out, nothing would surprise me short of not releasing it at all.

You're delusional. There is literally no reason at all anyone at Rockstar would decide to hold back content just to piss off the players. I can only hope that you're merely being facetious, because if you seriously believe this nonsense, you're worse off than I thought.

I am so gutted it didn't come out last night and its all your fault Foam

[CarnageRacing00]

lol I didn't even notice that foam accused me of thinking the "morbid muscle car" was a hearse...

 

Dude, f*ck off. I know it's the DoD. I'm not stupid. Just because I knew better than to believe the hype that it was going to be released as part of SVC, doesn't mean I don't believe it's coming ever.

 

DUKE O'DEATH IS COMING. But it's likely going to come with Gun Running, or shortly beforehand - because that's what makes the most logical sense in regards to theme.

 

Releasing the DoD with Special Vehicle Circuit, with the GP1, Ruston, Infernus and Turismo makes no logical sense whatsoever.

 

I know Rockstar's logic is often questionable, but there's usually at least a rhyme to their reason.

 

And now we know with absolute certainty that the DoD is NOT part of the SVC update.

 

But if you really believe Rockstar planned on unlocking it yesterday, and then decided not to for no other reason than to spite the few of you who were freaking the f*ck out about it, well there's no sense in me trying to speak logically to you, because logic is not something you can comprehend.

Dammit I saw this was bumped and thought maybe it came out in the middle of the night. Thanks a lot lol.

Not sure what caused it but rockstar tweeted out the duke o' death was available and then immediately deleted it about 1 hour ago - perhaps they were preparing a tweet for sometime soon?

For real? Does anyone have picture of the tweet?

[CreepyUncleLester]

IT IS TRUE , there is evidence on gta news .

Then there's a bug that needs to be squashed, regarding the tow trucks. As someone else said a few posts ago, Cargobobs don't do that, so there's no reason that tow trucks should do it. It's obviously a bug and bugs can be fixed.

If you notice, when you pick a car up with the bob, the car becomes "disabled". Throttle, steering, all of it no longer works until released.

 

When towed, a vehicle is still functional - this is what makes it possible for NPC's to try to drive away when you hook them... but because the car has its full physics enabled still, the sync between the player in the tow truck and the player in the car being towed gets out of whack and when the game tries to catch up, it crashes. You'll notice when you watch Let's Plays and they're carrying a car with the Bob, what the car is doing on one player's screen is sometimes different than another's.

 

The bob has its fair share of problems. Ever tried to pick up a Dump, or a motorcycle with someone on it?

Plus there's also a glitch that Achievement Hunter found long ago, back on last-gen (and it still aint patched) where if you hook 6 trucks to each other in a circle amd drive, the physics engine will spaz out and send everyone flying in all directions. Oh and did i mention it has a chance OF BRICKING ENTIRE CONSOLES?? (It'll most likely just crash the game on Current-Gen. Worst case scenario, you're gonna need to buy a new Console/PC)

Both of those things aren't hard to fix.

 

1. Tow truck carousel: Make it so tow trucks can't tow other tow trucks, Problem solved.

 

2. Brick consoles: Stop being lazy and fix it. The cargobob works fine, the tow truck is no different. Before someone says cars are disabled when a cargobob is carrying them, no they're not. NPC's are always trying to drive away when i carry them.

Soon...

[Zarpy]

Think people are slightly overhyping the DoD. After the first 24 hours of using it, it'll be back to normal. Though for me personally, I love having a big car collection so of course ill be buying it regardless

[KingBen]

It's officially coming this Tuesday.

 

Can't wait!

Thanks man

[Duckdude001]

Hope that it comes out on Tuesday, now I just want my lost slamvan, clown van, space docker, jb700, go go monkey blista, sky lift and tow trucks (big and small tow truck). And of course, the railgun.

I have to believe if it were that simple, Rockstar WOULD have fixed it. I'm positive there's something else wrong with the physics that creates an unstable situation in multiplayer, and the truth is, it very well could be something they CAN'T fix without rewriting the whole engine.

 

NPC's are always trying to drive away when you pick them up with a cargobob- sure. But like I explained, it's OK for the NPC's on your screen to be doing something different than the NPC's on another player's screen - even though it can result in game-breaking difficulty (enemy NPC appears in different places to you and another player), it still doesn't completely strain the game to try to keep it consistent on both systems.

 

Let me see if I can explain this properly.

 

Ever ridden in another player's vehicle, and sometimes on your screen, the car just sort of glides off in a random direction, then snaps back to the road? Meanwhile, the player driving says over voice chat that it never happened?

 

It's a sync problem.

 

Also, ever seen a player on your mounted turret firing in one direction, but on their screen they swear they're firing in a different direction?

 

Again, a sync issue.

 

Or how about picking up another player with the Cargobob, and on their screen it looks as if the Cargobob is bouncing and smashing into the car, while on your screen everything is normal? Or they don't see themselves as having been picked up at all, but on your screen, again, everything is normal?

 

Cut to 8:10 in this video for an example (also note that the driver is unable to move the vehicle)

 

 

Typically, not a massive problem. The game will catch up and everything will be fine, or you'll just disconnect.

 

But put one player in a tow truck, and another player in the car being towed, and now the physics have to coordinate in a more detailed manner - not just a physical object being pulled around like a car dangling from a cargobob, but the actual DRIVING physics are enabled and trying to stay synced between the tow truck player and the player driving the car being towed. And while it may work sometimes, when it falls OUT of sync, the physics engine takes a huge spike and crashes the game.

 

Just watch this entire video for an example of what happens.

 

 

Now, the obvious answer would be to just disable the car being towed, right? Just like with the Cargobob - turn it into a basic physics object, shut off player control and the driving physics until released from the tow truck.

 

I have to imagine there's a reason why that won't work. If it were that simple, I just don't believe Rockstar wouldn't have done it. Contrary to what people say, Rockstar is far from "lazy".

It's officially coming this Tuesday.

Nope, not official. Sorry. Yan is not a Rockstar spokesperson. He may be right, and I hope he is, and I'm SURE he is, but it still doesn't make his statement official.

[Retro Flutter]

I'll be getting this beauty of a Mad Max vehicle. I've waited since X360 days to get my own DoD in Online(legitly).....Tuesday can't come soon enough. Stoked as hell for it.

 

Yan is usually spot on when it comes to content being released.

[A.I.R]

Hope this happend. I remember went you can store it a while ago on next gen.

That feeling when people start calling leakers official. You do know that yan has nothing to do with rockstar, right?

And to think all this started with 5 guys and a dream, 3 glitches, 2 months of working out the details, 3 strait days of giveaways, 1 month of being trolled by rockstar and a spot among the top ten times games developers took action against cheaters. To those of you talking sh*t to El foam... f*ck you we were part of the team that put this car on rockstars radar in the first place, the screams of joy over the mic I will never forget as the first one was glitched into the strip club parking lot. (Shed's tear...) The good ol days of gta when GCTF was still a thing that drove me back to this game daily on the hunt for what we were told was not possible. Sigh...R.I.P. personal vehicle monster trucks. Can't wait to have my Eleanor back in her parking spot hurry up rockstar.

lmao you take yourself too seriously. People only want the dod online because some people glitched it into their garages? Come on man, don't be silly, please.

Yea....No...

 

It's quite simply the most badass looking car in the game and everyone wanted it in Online as soon as they found out about it in Single player,...simple.
