Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 1)

[ViolatingBox]

On the right tube, the blue looks like a couple columns within the tube, right? I'll be sure to run into that anytime I am in first

[Shaytan]

 

 

 

Does it really require a tipster to make you guys realize it was very unlikely for Rockstar to say something when there's still a event and discounts week going? Just way for tuesday, jeez...

does it take a IQ of 260 to realize those events weeks are now always going to happen no matter if an update is going to be revealed? it's been talked about for weeks now.

 

 

Prove me a moment where a DLC came out during an event week or evidence they'll happen no mather what and I'll apolagize for what I said, smartboy.

 

i said revealed not coming out my dearest love. info can be expected at any given time. no tipster needed to know that. and yes rockstar said those event weeks will be a regular thing from now on. just read the newswire my love

 

 

I assume you're referring to the "New Updates Comming Soon" post, which says the following:

 

 

 

Be on the lookout for regularly occurring event weeks like this, that will highlight a wide variety of different game content, including both recently released and fan-favorite modes, missions and some classic content that you may have not played in a while. There will be Double RP Playlists, chances for bonus GTA$, big discounts on vehicles, properties and lots more happening regularly; take advantage of these special rewards when you play, to help increase your GTA Online reputation and bank balance in the process, and amass your prized car collection and other spoils of success at a savings.

 

It doesn't mention they'll always happen... Just they'll happen regularly. Also, my point is that, these weeks are pretty much filler content - activities to keep the community entertained while they get everything prepared - so it would make no sense, at least for me, they would say something only 4 days after the previous announcement, mostly because there's an event week already taking place until 26th May. My best shot would be they might say something on Tuesday. And well, finally, I meant that's the kind of stuff it seems a tipster needs to mention to make a click on the heads of a lot of people here.

R* is at the point where they can look at anyone and say "F*ck you" with little to no consequence. Including their own loyal customers. They have a fiscal and political superiority that no one can touch with a 10 foot pole. To be even more brutally honest, we have no other options but to take what they give us at this point. It just simply is what it is.

Fiscal and political superiority? Neither terms can apply to a company

 

 

You haven't experienced the U.S.'s political system as of late, have you?

 

If Rockstar don't release something awesome in DLC, that`s all. GTA Online is dead.

 

 

 

Mm, no, it really isn't. That is just an absolute poor excuse of a regression line. In all reality, the best that first spike is good for is slightly bumping that line, but nothing more since it is pretty stable, playerwise. Oh, and the drop in Spring of 2016, that can probably be argued for all games as people are enjoying the nicer weather, and, it is the end of the holidays.

 

That confirms what I thought but can we have more details on it? Which system etc was that? Who was the source?

 

The system is PC, and, no, it confirms nothing of your ill-fated thoughts. If you actually read the data beyond the PC start date, you will notice a very stable trend. A trend that gets bumped right before the holidays and slowly drops off as Spring approaches.

 

I also still think DLC will not come until the week of June 14th at the earliest. If it does come earlier, then cool, I'll be happy. If not, then cool, I'll be happy.

Actually I thought alot of the Community wanted new Contact Missions and other things as well. So why hasn't R* given us new Missions yet? please answer me that.

That reminds me about the bugs going on in contact missions now...

 

Trask Talk: Sometimes, it fails the mission if we blow the Crew Boss up with a missle.

 

No Hay Bronca: If the Gang Leader is NOT on foot (aka. if he steps into a vehicle), it will fail the mission if we kill him. WTH man?

 

Lost MC RIP: There's a guy under the map. Yep, unter the map. And he can shoot you, while you can't shoot him. Great.

 

Effin' Lazers: Sometimes, but rarely, it will fail the mission if we deliver the Lazer's, even though we're supposed to do so... Wat.

 

Four Trailers: Sometimes (and not so rarely anymore), the second truck (that has to deliver the second trailer) suddenly bursts into flames, and the engine dies... And fails the mission. Wooo.

 

Sinking Feeling: If one of the SUV's are blown up, the mission will still process... You know, until you deliver the second SUV, and it will tell you that the mission has failed... Perfect.

 

Holed Up - Burton: Juan (the guy you have to escort) will end up blowing himself up. Dunno how. I've recorded him doing it, but I think I deleted the clip.

 

So eeeh... Yeah. Contact Mission Fix DLC pls!

[Irish45455]

The whole no info thing? I don't think it's because there was a delay... I think from the get go, neither one was close to completion, even slightly. They just gave us info because they knew without it, we'd all turn on each other like rabid beasts and there'd be riots in the forums. Either way, how you say, whomp whomp.

[rlk232]

Are you sure it doesn't show something, Azrael? The number of players jumping up in Oct 15 around the low-riders release, then again in January, right after E&OC was sheer coincidence, to you, apparently. No, it wasn't the holidays, as you'll notice if you look closely. The number of players dropped off in Nov-Dec. Moreover, even if the trend was the same the prior year, that does nothing to prove causation was the same. You are not intelligent enough to talk down to me, sir. If you wish to claim you are, just PM me.

Yes you are! I've experienced most of those except Holed up, effin lazers and lost mc rip. I'm assuming it's because i rarely play those one's though, hell i don't even remember them lol.

Trash Talk only fails if you kill the boss before getting the yellow checkpoint, it always has. Many of the other issues have been there for ages except Four Trailers where your team is apparently shooting the truck instead of the enemies.

What I want in the future DLC's.

 

MORE MISSIONS; enough with adversary crap give us new missions to do and have fun with.

 

new heists but that's for a different day.

 

Expansion map.

 

new bikes and air vehicles and heck maybe a skateboard.

 

New weapons.

 

Reasons for us to use the submarine.

My classmate would kill for more heists and then a nightclub DLC

I would kill for Las Venturas and San Fierro Expansion

 

I have some targets will you really do it? You have to prove you're really committed to your statement about your friend and yourself.

 

If R* released a map expansion and more heists o my friend would stop bitching about it

plenty more bugs than just those. I'd much rather R* just unleash the contact mission creator so we can appreciate the amount of work that goes into making a functional mission that's fun to play over and over.

Anytime you try to fix a bug there's a chance you'll create more bugs so I say R* should leave the current missions alone and let us make our own, we can just duplicate the buggy ones ourselves if we want.

The mission creator is in the game already, it's probably buggy too but it won't get fixed by sitting there locked up for dev use only....

 

It's time...

 

FREE THE CONTACT MISSION CREATOR!!!

Never claimed I was smarter than you. I may have been a bit mean in my delivery, but it was not toward your character as a person. Moreover it was toward the thoughts you were having based on one graph from the PC version of the game. This graph does not explain the other 4 systems, that information I do not know. And, I will concede, that I slightly missed the very slight bumps from Lowriders and E&OC/January update. That still does not downplay the rest of the data presented, which still is pretty damn stable. Thus, it shows, that GTA:O isn't really dying from the lack of updates, it is more of the constant stream of players that are being shown, and not the ones that just show up when something new comes around. I will admit, however, this trend may be different with other platforms.

 

Also, I will never claim to be smarter, or dumber, than anyone else, because there is always someone better/worse at what I do and say. It helps to keep one's pride in check by acknowledging such possibilities.

Yeah but like Zoso said they are focused on new content and we have a new lead project designer

WHO KNOWS they could have 2 heists ready to drop becuz the audio files hinted at that

they might be testing and working out kinks for those (Fleeca Money Back Guarantee and Drug Flip)

I want my San Fierro map expansion tho

[rlk232]

Weedell, no, that is not the case for me on "Trash Talk". I have absolutely, positively hit the yellow marker and had it say "mission failed" when I shot the boss with a missile! However that has never happened when I got out to shoot him, even if I somehow missed the marker. And no info today from R, disappointing...

Trash Talk fails if you kill the boss too quickly after he spawns. The same happens with No Hay Bronca.

 

Give him some time to run. Give 10+ seconds to be safe.

...Thursday, not Friday.

Since September, almost all the announcements have been on the Thursday before the Tuesday update (aside from the Thursday when the widebody cars/BMV patch dropped out of the blue with no announcement, or Lowriders 2, which had an announcement/trailer on the Monday immediately before).

Friday, though? Highly unlikely, unless R* breaks from precedent this time.

They have already broken from precedent multiple times. They want the surprise element and to stay one step ahead of the leakers, so bad that they have changed their routine almost completely. looking back at 2016, a majority of the update's announcements have been random.

 

There was a pattern, not anymore.

Damn, I thought you had a leak. That's how desperate I am for news. I know, I know, that's probably pathetic of me.

Yes it is. Fun doesn't have all the answers. Everyone here keeps on setting themselves up for disappoint when he doesn't comment with clues relative to new future items. I'm pretty sure R* is making it more difficult for dataminers to siphon through gamefiles and find artifacts that relate to future content. I will admit, I think it was stupid for R* to tease new future DLC in the vague way they did and I can understand the discontent some people are feeling right now. I think the reason they did that is because this will probably be a game changing update. I just cannot decipher how the contraband trafficking will work without altering the Freemode session in some way shape or form. I think everyone is just better off waiting it out like the rest of us, instead of saying "there's gonna be an announcement Friday," and when it doesn't happen, you're all angry and sending people like me that tells everyone to be patient threatening messages intended to insult, which end up being humorous. Just be patient. It's coming! (I'm on a roll today. Now I will go tell my dog not to lick his crouch.)

I've noticed during Trash Talk and Hit 'Em Up if you kill any, any enemy with a rocket, the mission will proceed as normal but as soon as you complete it, you fail. I tested this on the main missions with issues and it seems to me that if you kill enemies normally (bullets, stickies) you usually won't fail, unless the game wants to be a dildo.

Good point you have there. But in all honesty, I don't think anybody really knows when the hell even just an announcement will come out. Praying it will be today, but I don't know if we can really predict what R* are doing anymore in terms of release dates, or any DLC news in general.
