Crews and "Posses"

[Sigurd]

Just a random idea, as awesome as crews are, I can't help but feel that the posse system from RDR should've made a return in Online. The mindless killings dubbed "free-roam wars" are hardly true wars, and the option to temporarily group up with fellow players to fight together would be really beneficial. There could be posse leader settings that can turn friendly fire off, set map markers visible to all members, and the option to establish a "base" anywhere, where members could resupply their ammo and armor, regroup, and defend against hostile gangs. Maybe there could even be a new clothing item (either an armband, headband, or teeshirt) that has the posse colors. Thoughts?

Crews are a bit disappointing, they're a loose affiliation with other players to be honest. Posses in RDR were awesome though, I do miss them - good way to team up with randoms and clash with other Posses... or sweep through the country causing havoc. It used to get pretty heated, sometimes people would ally with enemies to take on a new threat - RDR was actually loads of fun with this.

 

I like the idea of claiming a territory for your Posse/Crew in GTAO too - even better if others decided they want to move you off that spot. Organic, flowing conflict with a purpose and player-set objectives. I'd welcome that.

Some of my fondest memories from RDR was when we'd raise a formidable posse and patrol areas of the map, establishing garrisons in forts and towns, and generally protecting our claimed territory from other groups. I've yet to have any experiences that come close to that in GTA Online.

I would prefer if there were also NPC crew members that players could recruit to protect them from other players or other NPCs,like CJ could recruit GSF members to protect him in GTA SA,that way being in a crew would feel more like having your own gang.

The territory control in GTA:SA was one of the best parts of that game - I always liked it. That was SP though so it'd have to change a little for GTAO... still though, i'd be really happy if this made a return. Loved getting the max amount of gang members to follow me to take on the Ballas!

Posses were definately 1 of the many awesome things about Red Dead. You could spawn at Hennigans, see players getting griefed, run to the fast travel, spawn in Armadillo and then invite all those players to your posse. Youd then all wear Marshall outfits and go back to dish out justice. Whether it was seeing people hunting bears with knives or fooling around in the mountains, you could always posse up and have fun. It started off just as bare bones as Gtao (maybe worse) but once they added Land Grabs and more hideouts, it became one of my favs, all time. Gtao needs more to do in FR and i definitely think that an impromptu "crew up" function would be a great addition.

Never played RDR but it sounds really fun.

Yes!! I am so for a posse update in free roam, for us people who don't have mics it would be the perfect way to group up with other people and not have them "accidentally" kill you.

This needs to happen.

That being said I think it would be a perfect time for them to also introduce some weapons and vehicles from the early to mid 1900's.

Call it the "redemption" update haha.

Such a good game, wasn't expecting anything when I bought it and it was worth every penny.

 

Great SP and MP modes, the main character is awesome and the story is pretty good too. R* at their best.

In RDR I mostly had a posse to clear out gang hide-outs and do missions and other stuff, in GTA I'm mostly lonely because some people only play in crew session, others don't like to go to war, some only do missions or heist.....

Got a few players who mostly are in, luckily, but not as much as I had with RDR back in the days.

That sounds great, never played RDR but I think it's awesome.
