Passive Mode

[Catlas Se7en]

Anyone else want next gen passive mode to come to last gen? Personally I just want to be able to drive something other than my Insurgent or Armored Kuruma in public sessions.

what exactly is wrong with it?

 

besides the thing where it randomly disables when you exit a vehicle- THAT is annoying.

Nothing really 'broken' about it, but players shouldn't be able to use it as a cheap tactic to get kills.

 

It should be the same as it used to be. When the player disables passive they are vulnerable for 10 seconds before they can pull out a gun.

A large portion of the people using it aren't being passive. They're using it to further their killing, which seems messed up and obnoxious (especially to anyone who normally plays more competitive shooters, and sees this for the cheap bullsh*t it really is). A couple small tweaks would fix it right up, but Rockstar seems oblivious.

I'm beginning to give up hope.

I'm prob foolish for holding out this long. But fk me.. Wouldn't have believed the matchmaking & server issues would still be so bad this far into it.

 

As for the op.. I don't even remember using passive mode in next/current gen/ps4 so.. I guess I should be in the b&m thread.

[UnsentSoul]

It's unfortunate last Gen doesn't have it. I've only played on the one, anyone against passive mode should state why they feel it should be removed. They can always say "go play in an invite only lobby if your gonna be in passive all day" and that's a valid point but I utilize the feature more so to keep dick heads at bay, if I want to shop or just enjoy the FM it's decent but I'm not in passive the entire game session.

Isn't that how it already is? What they need to fix is the blip on the person that is in passive mode. Passive mode should show that passive mode sign and disabling passive mode should make the blip flash quickly. When passive mode is finally disabled it should show the normal dot.

the invulnerability during countdown is an improvement in my opinion

 

reason being that when i'm in passive, it means i'm not in the mood to entertain some braindead deathmatch junky- and it definitely doesnt mean i'm in the mood to have some cancerous mime following me around, spamming combat rolls with his little pea-shooter aimed at me. so i can exit passive, surprise them with a shotgun to the chest, quickly get in a car and go on about my business

 

old passive mode was garbage because if you came out of it to defend yourself, you just became an easy kill for some nerdy K/D obsessed douche.

 

those getting killed by people exiting passive mode should know better than to hover around someone who appears harmless but can bring an auto-shotty out at any time

 

 

 

just my view on that

It isn't that the problem is there. It's that Rockstar doesn't give two sh*ts.

The problem is, most people taking advantage of the "surprise, the countdown timer is up!" feature aren't people minding their own business. They're aggro-tards who kill kill kill until they lose their advantage; then they go passive, wait til the enemy isn't paying attention, and turn it off for another cheap kill. At least guys like you have the option to just stay passive.

 

Unfortunately games often have to be designed to protect us from the worst and most exploitative abuses of the worst segment of players. The people using the feature as intended get caught in the crossfire a little bit. Unfair, but there you have it.

It's actually not. There are ways to interact with people that don't require guns and an invite only session wouldn't substitute that.

 

I will actually put on passive and watch groups of players take on the cops and each other just for the hell of it. Makes for some intense situations when rpg's are flying and NOOSE is involved but I just get to calmly watch the chaos and pick up wads of dropped cash.

No, last-gen passive should come to next-gen

It never used to be a problem for me, I used to see them come off, no problem, should've been the same for everyone else...but after the last few updates, the player updating is way off at times, even to the point of someone with a bounty respawning with the bounty "still on" them for seconds after respawning

i get your point and can see how it's a cheap as sh*t thing to do, but at the same time it's very easy to avoid

 

 

it's easier for a non-passive player to avoid a passive player, as the passive player has no weapon and can't pull one out for the next 10 seconds when they feel ready- meanwhile the non-passive player can just get in a car and drive off...or if they're overly aggressive, attempt to run them over/stalk them everywhere (which is what gets the non-passives killed in the first place- mindless aggression)

 

the passive player on the other hand has literally no other options other than: 1: surprise attack, 2: wait for the dickhead to f*ck off, 3: stand on high ground until the idiot in a car stops trying to run them over. on last gen, you have very little evasive options in passive, because keep in mind, the non-passive already has their weapon out- so they already have the advantage right there. plus, passive mode disables when you get in a car, so it's either spend a ridiculous amount of time walking on guardrails, or get shot.

Not all the time. I will see a normal white dot on the radar but when I approach him he is still in passive. Clearly broken. Now in response to the bounty bug, a guy claimed this guy's bounty by blowing him up but the bounty stuck as usual. The bounty spawned a street away from me with the bounty still on him (was probably in process of updating the claim from the other guy that killed him) so I killed him by running him over and after a few seconds the game says I claimed it instead. So apparently if you kill a bounty while it's in the process of being claimed by another person you will get the bounty instead. So the last person to kill the bounty before the game registers the claim gets the bounty. Not sure if this is how it is all the time but it certainly happened to me.

Yes. I am sick to death of going passive only for some dickwad to run me over/kill me in my car. If I'm passive it means I don't want to fight dammit. However...I also think that passive should still allow you to use weapons, just not on players. You shouldn't be totally open to abuse by NPCs just because you want to avoid fighting with players.

 

Sadly R* doesn't seem to care.

This says it exactly. This is the part of next gen passive mode that I want, plus the ability to still use weapons against NPCs.

 

I just bump some NPC's car, and they are dragging me out and beating me up. I have to jump back in the car and run them over, as my only defense.

[We Are Ninja]

I don't mind passive mode in any of it's iterations. What I mind are the cheap c*nts that abuse it to get cheap kills.

[CrysisAverted]

I can't run over bitches who go in passive with my Jet anymore

no.

[phattoni]

It's annoying, but this wont happen for last gen as its a SELLING point. Kinda like buying a new version of a car, has new features. I would like next gen passive also.

[Non Fiction]

F#@k no! Keep that Casper the ghostl BS on current gen

That's not very passive of you, is it?

 

Why don't you apply this same logic to other players trying to kill you...in other words, defend yourself

[Shadowfennekin]

Hell yes, no more getting ran over or chop up in blades. Not to mention being safe in my cars so I can drive things besides my Insurgent in FR

[Catlas Se7en]

Someone who understands what I mean. I just want to drive in my Rolls Royce with a few randoms who I've already made a trust bond between and not be killed by someone when driving along.

[phattoni]

Can't tell you how many times i'm trying to be friendly and instead get shot up. But hey I expect it as it's GTA. You win some, you lose some.

[Clintonics]

I love the kids that stand behind you in passive mode thinking that you're going to forget they are there. Assault shotgun to their face the moment it disables.

[CarimboHanky]

i wont mind newgen passive coming to ps3 aslong as i can still send out my passive friend with a sticky attached to their back hahaha

 

that sh*t is just so funny.

It should be the same as it used to be. When the player disables passive they are vulnerable for 10 seconds before they can pull out a gun.

See, it wasn't until.recently that I knew about that. I've always kept an eagle eye on passive players. It makes sense though, to have the vulnerable time. You're PASSIVE, meaning you're not supposed to want to kill or get killed. Using it as revenge or cheap kills is just a petty tactic reserved for spanking griefers.

[scaldy78]

No thank you! I don't want any ghosts roaming around last gen. Passive mode on last gen is perfect. U can shop, put away money, and go to the bathroom (IRL) which is what passive should be for.

 

As for cruising around in a car? Cmon man, I drive slow cars a lot and rarely do I have problems defending myself or even getting attacked.
