The Next DLC Discussion Thread

[GTA_dog]

 

 

 

On the subject of what special features top tier mansions could have: First of all, a 12-20 vehicle garage depending on which mansion(s) you buy (they could also release some 12-20 vehicle garages too for those who want car storage but not the mansion), Possibly hellipads from which you can access your pegasus hellis (obviously not all mansions would be compatable),

Maybe a weapons storage room. Similar to the weapons stored on the yacht, but more practical. And perhaps a games room, with darts and/or pool table and/or ping pong etc.

 

Don't think its really possible to have a helipad at a house in GTA Online. The only way to have our own personal helipad that I can think off in GTA Online, is already in the game, the yacht.

 

If you think I'm wrong, then just explain me how it would work in the instance that 2 players have the same house and want to take their helicopter at the same time.

Tap right on the d pad at the helipad to select your vehicle of choice, if someone else is there, you must wait for them. Or they could be invisible to prevent anyone from blowing people up as they're getting their chopper.

Why does everyone think that a new game releasing means Rockstar has to release an update? Rockstar knows that whatever game comes out, we all eventually pop GTA back into our disc drives or load it up on the computer. GTA is like our heroin, and we're all just junkies. We may give it up for a bit, but sooner or later, we'll be back. I know I do, just to see what's going on, and grind a few missions, and try to recoup my losses from my Jester and Buzzard. They don't have to release something solely to combat people leaving and playing The Division or NFS or Fallout. They release updates when they feel like it, not when the community demands it, because they know, when they do put out an update, we'll all pop back on, even if it is just to check out what was added and then head over to the bitch and moan thread to complain about what was added.

Zelnick never gave specific numbers, but, before it hit a peak during the holiday season, GTA online had around 8 million players per week. The CEO said that this “sustained engagement” is partly due to GTA online’s constant flow of add-on content and in-game events.

I really hope R* update the Newswire with details of an upcoming Red Hook Crit event [/sarcasm]

"Watch our Twitch stream and get a chance to win a extremely rare, non-purchaseable Declasse Envy!"

 

Riots would ensue.

 

Streams would have to be shut down due to amount of viewers.

I think it is fair to say we can expect some more property space. If R* can give us garages that have a different layout/design than the existing ones that would be great. But knowing Rockstar they will say you will need to buy this 1.5m house first if you want to have them

I've come to the conclusion that they're never going to give us new garages with different layouts. The way they handled stilt houses and garages was beyond pathetic. Cut n pasting a high end apartment garage that doesn't even fit the exterior of the house? What?

I mean, it's cool to have a ten car garage but there should be some more effort and/or believability thrown in.

Im happy enough if one appartment can have 2 10 car garages...since last update i dont know what to expect anymore from R*

when the ill gotten games came out it seemed they balanced the cars right and the stirling gt being op woud be just an error that woud have been fixed next update.

But they never fixed it, the faction is broken, cars at benny's are bugged by losing parts, and e&oc seemed completely half assed looking at what they did with the classification of the armored schafter and armored cognescenti and the yachts being bugged...

O yea...they still didnt fix any of those isues yet and im starting to fear they never will

People suspect the numbers in the brackets weren't, or was it the numbers not in the brackets? Idk, it was one of those.

[Cavot]

Didn't Yan say that it wasn't a date?

The numbers in the brackets were not a date. However, the numbers outside the brackets, which were 3 and 15, we're not included within the brackets. Making them a mystery. Yan never said those weren't a date. Seeing how 3/15 is a Tuesday, it leads us to beleive that the next DLC will be released then. There are 3 sides to a triangle, illuminati confirmed?

I'd even be alright with accessing your hellis while inside the mansion, in a similar (but not identical) way to leaving your garage with vehicles: You pick what you want to take out from the list, and it goes to a cutscene just like leaving the garage in a car, except taking off from your mansion in your chopper. The game already accounts for players leaving the same property simultaniously, so doing the same for hellis would be no different.

Does it really matter if it doesn't match the exterior of the house? I mean, who cares. I was more annoyed that I had to exit my house to get into the garage to get my car. That right there is a real complaint. Don't use that house because of it.

 

 

I don't think the houses and the garages are connected in game. Same goes for the apartments. The elevator was a way of connecting the apartments and garages together however when the house and garage are side by side it would prove challenging I think. Nothing R* can't handle but yet again they are lazy when it comes to these things and isn't worth stressing over. 20 car garages would be great. Having 5x 20 car garages would mean you have 100 cars. And R* wouldn't need to add extra property space

 

 

I thought about the 20 car garages. Discourages people from buying additional properties (which could mean less incentive to buy shark cards), so I don't see them anytime soon.

if they release 20 car garages/house, I'm swapping all my current property for those + I will probably spend money on other cars i want to get. I will not buy sharkcard cause I already have plenty of money, but I could see that make a lot people spend more and buy sharkcards.

[fear_the_nut70]

 

I dont care what they add really. So long as its not just more cars and adversary modes. That big increase in 8 million active players can easily be connected to the shift of focus from PvP and cars to PvE with the EOC and Freemode updates. Thats what happens when you give content to a massive portion of the community thats been ignored since launch. We dont care about properties or vehicles, races or jets. We've got a massive amount of money to blow since all we've had to buy with each update are clothes and the occasional weapon.

I used to say mansions were impossible because a massive amount of content would need to be added to warrant their existence in the game. But when we get a yacht with its own interior, a helicopter, hot tub, various boats and a cannon that shoot down aircraft and keeps PvP trolls at bay its not unreasonable to believe a mansion is at the very least possible. They could add a pegasus helipad to spawn whatever air vehicle you want on your roof. They could make it to where VIPs could start missions from inside their mansion and the bodyguards would have do various activities or heists. Like piracy prevention there could be a region of the mansion thats PvP and attackers attempt to rob a vault or something. They could do something similar to the yacht where every weapon you own spawns inside the mansion. That would satisfy all the people asking for a weapon locker.

 

 

Not sure why some thought it wasn't possible, the question really was, would it be profitable? I do think Rockstar has their answer after seeing shark card sales after the yachts (poor parents, after shelling out $100 for a fake yacht, now they gonna have to do it for a fake crib). Like others, I do think they will do mansions one day but are upgrading step by step (referred to as the drip system by one poster).

 

I'll tell you what would be cool. VIP missions where you have to kill the VIP in the mansion. He doesn't appear on radar, and while the attackers are in stealth mode, they don't either (though if they got out of stealth mode, they appear on radar). If the mansions are big enough with places to hide and your body guards protecting you, i think that would make for a fun VIP experience with some strategy mixed in.l.

Yes, but would that exceed the cost of two full properties that have 10 car garages? Probably not. Why do you think some of the penthouses all of a sudden became customizable (expect these customizations to be extended to other locations to increase sales)? Why do you think the number of properties is locked and we get one every six months or so? All of this functions to increase demand (by limiting supply). Rock Star is simply using time honored marketing techniques to stimulate demand in their fake economy.

Division is coming this weekend ,r* need to announce something to spoil ubisoft

If thats gonna be populair they shoud wait 2 or 3 weeks after that game its release...people who plan to buy it are going to do that and be ocupied for a week anyhow

That doesn't add up though, because it DOES encourage people to buy those bigger properties, as well as more vehicles to fill up those slots. Replacing your current properties or buying additional new properties, it's all essentially the same net result, especially if the mansions and 12 car+ garages are of a high enough price.

 

What might be cool, is a short series of missions for Lenny Avery, unlocking the ability to purchase mansions.

They could make where you have to upgrade your current garages to get 20 car capacity. They could make the upgrade cost double what the property already cost. That is easily 10M from just my primary character alone.

Sure, think of it this way. You have five apartments, you can get a sixth. Rather than trade a property in which gets you some offset, you buy a sixth one at full price. The purchase of cars is relevant as you would fill each new property anyway.

[Emu War]

It'd be cool to get access to Fort Zancudo through a series of missions with the military. Then we'd be able to spawn stuff there and explore it in freemode.

If 20 car garage ever come, they will probably be a lot more expensive then a 10 car garage. So not sure about your argument. It's all speculation of course, but it would make sense.

[Irish45455]

Be cool if we could bring the Nightshade to Benny's and make it into something far better looking, maybe something like this:

 

 

 

 

The front end on the Nightshade is just ugly... And it just doesn't feel right... or look right. It looks like they lifted it and then put twenty twos on it to fill the fender gap. Would be cool if we could bring the Rat Truck to Benny's, along with the Hotknife, and turn them into even better hot rods. Wonder what else is coming in the future...

Why in freemode? You can explore it in Titan of a job. Land the titan in the base. Its fully operational but you get no stars. You can even shoot the npcs and they wont fight back.

No we don't need bank robbery jobs on demand and if we did get them the payout would only be around $5,000. In real life, how many bank robberies result in the perpetrator leaving with more than $10,000? That's because the banks usually don't have that much money on hand. You have to plan to target the vault! I think Rockstar got it right by making the big bank jobs planned and coordinated efforts for the maximum payout. I will say though the pacific standard job should have had a greater payout considering it's real life location and the escape should've been a little bit more thorough due to the greater payout. Has anybody seen the movie Inside Man with Denzel Washington and Clive Owen? That I think that movie had the best escape route for the robbers, which were not really robbers, because they didn't steal money, they were targeting a certain individual and his personal precious property.

The bank a block over from my shop got robbed 2 weeks ago and the guy made off with a little over 20 grand.

 

The real money isn't robbing banks, it's robbing armoured cars or better yet the depot where they station them in and out of.

 

The car probably has over 1MM sitting in the back and is likely protected by two guys with pistols at best. The depot has an ungodly amount of cash in it, and probably isn't all that well protected, either. The bank only keeps enough on hand to handle transactions, which is why that guy only made 20K. There's nothing in the vault, either. It's all trucked out at the end of the day. Vaults are mostly for show and for safety deposit boxes now.

 

So, if you're gonna take up a life of crime, skip the bank jobs and go right to knocking off an armoured truck. They're also lightly armoured enough that you'll have no problem blowing holes through it with your rifle.

 

As someone who spent two years working on an armored truck, STFU!!!! I bet you worked on a truck, as a driver and got canned. Telling people about a trucks armor? Really? You are a degenerate scumbag. None of the info you included was neccessary. You could have simply said to go for armored trucks, that the guys dont get paid sh*t and dont want to risk their lives. But nope, lets talk about the armor.

 

You risk lives running your mouth! STFU! You think we're just on a gta forum t u never know who might read that and pass on to whoever who mentions it to someone else who is nuts.

 

Let me quick break down for yall what an armored truck hit means. It means going up against two+ individuals who likely served in the armed forces, who embrace gun culture and more tham likely go shooting often.

 

They dont make much money and likely if u get the drop wont fight u, certainly wont shoot u in rhe back only to get charged for it. So take the cash and run.

 

Much better off hitting a small bank with ZERO armed guards.

Fun said in the files it says something along the lines of "content from Lowriders 2 update" which would suggest that it was named that. But they may have changed it after the last update.
