The positive aspects are immense: The Nextgen passive mode is far to invisible compared to Last Gen passive mode. You cant interact with people anymore.

 

I loved to kill people in their cars while they thought they are passive. I also loved to kill passive pussys with the water canon of firetrucks or rotors of a chopper.

 

And then where the days where you had a killing spree in a lobby in a tank and people went into passive just so you could fling them through the air with the tank canon

1.NG passives are intangibility , appearing look like hologram/ghost and can actually pass to other players except NPC

2.using nearby vehicles also work , providing if your vehicle has sufficient speed and mass to intercept the ghost

3.there is always to exploit shortcomings of passives ( like car bowling , tank golf , flames created by tank cannon [ especially in grassy/wooden area ] , dynamic objects , hitched trailer , cargobob's flail , luring cops to shoot the ghost [ either by standing too close to them ] , trigger a " bullrun " to make the ghost run over by traffic , aircraft bailout )

 

 

I never thought about that, thanks bro really appreciate your ideas

 

but I'm still a bit bitter about the ghost passive we have in Current gen

i do recall someone ranting about passives broken in LG prior to remaster edition released

but now i find many people ranting about NG passives and wanting back , if i'm not wrong this rant can cycle indefinetly

I never thought it could be more of a Troll tool than it was on PS3 but the Xbone takes it to an entirely new levels

 

Every lobby now has at least one passive troll

 

I miss the days when you could just drown them :lol:

I loved being able to grab a fire truck and drown passive mode crybabies on last gen! Fun times:-)

agreed, going passive and being able to knock players off of the train, metro, buildings to their death. LG FTW. :beerhat:

passive mode on ps3/360 may seem like its broke but we gotta admit, the passive-ghost is ridiculous.

This is 1 of the things that has made me think twice about upgrading...why did R* decide its fine if jets and tanks can go in and out of ghost passive mode but not the swift or Luxor?!?!? I thought passive mode was SUPPOSED to help people, instead its a trolls best option.

It was much better. Passive mode hurts competitive play and there's not enough disadvantages to passive mode anymore.

 

If you wanna experience some competitive play, there are 'competitive' games.You know, maybe go and play them?

 

GTA is anything but a competitive PvP game.GTA is a sandbox game that takes place into an open world, meaning that if I wanna watch bunnies jumping through tall grass all the f*cking virtual GTA day, I can do so and expect to not be bothered by anyone.

I don't miss it at all , now i know that the only one who can grief me is a modder .

 

I can do what i want without the fear of an idiot come try to roll on me till i die or explose my car ( customise car , buy snacks and armour...)

 

Most of the time on freeroam i'm in passive mode , doing what i have to do then go on missions/heist/dm/etc...

What's the difference between these two?

 

Well, on LG, you weren't a ghost like on CG, you could be run over by other players and stuff like that.

Also as soon as you got into a car, you could be killed by virtually anyone.

 

CG got things right, and now you're a ghost that can't be killed by anyone.You can't use weapons either.

The only chance for a MLG 420blazeit to kill you, is by running you over while in a car(while exiting the car seconds before the impact, so the car actually hits you).

So basically you don't like that you can't act like a d-bag to people who want to be in passive mode and show off your online persona toughness. Got it.

 

I often wonder if the people who choose to act like d-bags in games also act like that in real life or if they are just simply pathetic losers and need to resort to being a jerk online to get some weird satisfaction in life.

forgot the most important part, on LG you can actually "bump" into players and move them a bit. luring players onto roof tops and knocking them off to their death i find quite fun. i have had my fair share of hearing other players rages because of this. :lol:

"Passive pussys"

 

Ya know, maybe some guys just couldn't care less about your MLG 420blaze it PvP skills and want to play the game in a different way?

Preach.

LG sounds more fun to me,as I'm still a LG player.Going into passive while rolling a tiny one and trying to find a place where others can't run over you is more adrenaline :santa:

I like the CG passive mode, when I want to sell cars, shop clothes etc. I usually turn it on. One thing I would like to change is that wanted levels should be disabled when passive is on. Those losers who abuse passive mode can be so annoying. When they start abusing it I try to keep the distance to them and always put bounty on them asap.

your choice, but why not get pro-active? just because you are in passive doesn't make you harmless like NG passive. you'd be surprised what you can do in passive on LG. :beerhat:

No. Passive is fine the way it is. It's designed to enjoy the non-combative elements of free-roam without having to get griefed by a dozen COD kids in tanks and jets. Stop trying to get it changed.

I'm wondering if I am the only one missing the passive mode on Last Gen consoles. You could always take revenge on people when they tried to kill you without the abuse going on with people going in passive and going out when you dont expect it.

The positive aspects are immense: The Nextgen passive mode is far to invisible compared to Last Gen passive mode. You cant interact with people anymore.

 

I loved to kill people in their cars while they thought they are passive. I also loved to kill passive pussys with the water canon of firetrucks or rotors of a chopper.

 

And then where the days where you had a killing spree in a lobby in a tank and people went into passive just so you could fling them through the air with the tank canon.

 

Yes, I have to admit that I also loved the griefing aspect of the old passive .

 

Anybody else miss the old passive mode on Last Gen?

No last gen is dead!and I love current gen passive mode because it is the bane of annoying f*ck tards like you. I'm sorry mods for what I'm about to say but I truly hate your type of gamer. I would personally like to find were you are in real life and kill you in the same annoying way you assholes do in the game. Throw a sticky bomb on your car. Leave some proximity mines by your front door or garage orcamp outside and mini gun you to death as you drive out. I'd spawn grief the f*ck out of you but that's not possible in real life so I'd like to kil you, bury you, dig you up and kill your sorry ass again los Santos would be a much better place without motherf*ckers like you! Once again I'm sorry mods but I had to vent Edited by SmokesWithCigs

If your in a PUBLIC lobby then you can't really complain about other players bothering you...you said it yourself its a "sandbox" game.

Why?Explain.I join a public lobby so I can chat/interact with other people too, not because I want to kill.

I do miss being able to chop people with the Buzzard's blades. I don't mean people who wanted to be peaceful though - just people who turn it on and off/abuse it.

 

But on the whole it's better now - I mean, it is meant to actually work. They just need to add a proper cool down, and a longer period where you're vulnerable coming out of it.
