Bikers update out now!

[We Are Ninja]

...players that register as "bikers" will be President of their club. associates will start as "prospects" and rank up as they spent time working for/with the registered "biker."

 

all progress will be reset when leaving org. or lobby.

Hmm. In the same way that associates' pay rates go up the longer they stick around and do their jobs. Hot damn, that makes a lot of sense...

I can't lie. I'm a lor more stoked about this DLC than I thought I'd be, but unless R* does something miraculous (like moving biker missions out of free roam completely), griefers are going to have a field day with their soft, fleshy, completely unprotected victims riding their slow, ill-handling choppers.

I would love some biker themed (Lamar type) missions with cut-scenes in this update, but obviously without the annoying minimum 4 player structure. We can have Johnny K or someone else to do missions with/for.

I'll definitely be president of mine, I can't risk putting time in permanently for someone else. If I'm in a lobby and a random needs a extra mc member, i dont't mind. But nothing permanent. Me and my sqaud are going to be battling, over who pres will be lol

but how would it work with the patches though? unless the rank on the patch auto changes whenever you get promoted i don't see any use of it.unless it's just a cosmetic thing meaning that there are vests to buy but each with a diffferent ranked patch for "immersion" that you can wear even if you are not that rank.

Being able to take 8 players in at max, and only needing.... two at minimum would certainly make those less annoying. Especially if they LET people f*cking die so noobs don't screw over everyone else.

Well, last day of double money in entourage and lowrider missions and i can't play because i get the f*cking "could not load files" or something like that error

I had that a minute ago when I tried to load it up, restarted my PS4 and got in ok after that.

 

Thank you

you saved my life

Believe me,choppers are not really that slow and ill-handling.They may not be as fast as sports bikes,but they can still do tighter turns than any car and fit where no car can,especially something as big as Insurgent.If you have enough experience and skill,you can easily escape from even some faster cars on an average chopper.Back when I still played in public sessions,I usually did manage to escape getting run over while riding Hexer or Daemon (the real reason I switched to only playing in invite only sessions was because hackers/modders started putting some big metal thing in other player's garages and I didn't want that happening to me,and later I just got used to playing solo).I don't consider myself to be particularly skilled at any aspect of the game, but I've never had a problem evading hostile players while on a bike. And I routinely ride a Bagger, which is one of the most sluggish bikes in the game.

Bikes, even Baggers and Hexers, are so small and agile that it is easy for a rider to quickly put enough space and obstructions between them and any hostile player that any attempt at pursuit quickly becomes pointless.

I think the biggest threat to bikers ( apart from the ever present dive bombing hydra do*chebag), is an ambush from an auto aiming player on foot, but that's easy enough to avoid by checking the mini map.

Getting chased down by insurgents, kurumas or Supercars isn't much to worry about. They aren't quick or agile enough to catch a bike and I haven't come across anywhere near enough players with the skills to be able to shoot down a moving biker from a moving land vehicle to be concerned.

If there's no Hakuchou and Double T Custom in this update, it's trash imo. Those two bikes are the only reasons I like TLaD as much as I do. I'll check out the clothes, tats and weapons though I guess.

[DS_NEO]

I hope there are some new guns in this update, melee while riding bikes is cool too I guess though I'll just shoot them if anyone tries to smack me on their bike.

[InFrareD Kush]

I swear we better be able to play in invite-only sessions this time. That will solve a lot of sh*t and make everyone happy.

[Mervz789]

pls add Hakuchou and Double-T Custom R* or this DLC is meaningless to me

[Traition]

Can't wait to see all players hoarding the best clubhouse. So many un-planned biker meets will happen. It'll be like Bennys

[Fennimoe]

Is this a GTA forum, or a forum for people to hate everyone who ain't like them.

Both??

[DeniLHell]

still hope all TLaD bikes will have a comeback.

the screenshots show Zombie and (maybe) wayfarer already.

with a little bit of luck we might see at least a few more of the 11 bikes that are left

[Hunter]

Am I missing something, or don't we already have the Hakuchou? Plus some version of the Double T as well?

 

Maybe I'm wrong.

Yeah you're missing something.

Whilst we do have those bikes, many are hoping for the upgraded TLAD versions.

Especially if R* does "bla passive disabled bla while in an MC".

 

Well duh, it's essentially just the CEO system with 1 leader and 7 associates. It's definitely gonna disable passive.

[rlk232]

I have a feeling that getting started on the biker stuff won't be anywhere near as expensive as the CEO properties. Rockstar aren't stupid and they'll know that it wouldn't make sense for a wooden clubhouse in the desert to cost five million dollars and that they need to balance expensive updates with cheaper ones.

If you buy literally everything I'm sure it'll cost a lot but I'm expecting reasonable pricing on the whole.

While the new stuff may not cost as much as the ceo stuff, I'll venture a guess that it'll be close. Edited September 30, 2016 by rlk232

GTA IV'S Lost and Damned had double T and hakouchou but it also had custom verisons of both:

http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Double_T_Custom

http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Hakuchou_Custom

if i remember correctly one of them (double T custom???) is the fastest land vehicle in the whole GTA series...

[lowriderlife63]

Really hoping I can customize the bikes like this.

[rlk232]

Must have to be a success, in my mind, w list below.

 

6th garage

Insane sports bike

New cars

Weapons and clothes

Content that does not require 8 players...

[Arkseven]

All i want is the chance to play in invite session only and recruit NPCs.

 

OF COURSE, THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AT ALL

 

And i wonder...why...?

[Giantsgiants]

I saw this thread and was like "there's no way that that thing can beat a Bati". But knowing Rockstar...

[RussianCommie]

I'm kind of hoping that R* adds the Regina from TLAD, but I'm not getting my hopes up for it. I liked and still like the version of the Regina from the TLAD without the wood on the bottom side of the car. TLAD version of the Regina was one body color, minus the roof, from what I remember and could make a kick ass replica of a Chevy Impala station wagon.

Because its GTA Online and the whole point is to play with other people?

And some of us prefer being loners than getting stuck playing with dumb ass noobs and pricks who'll join you but won't do sh*t to help

That's cool but obviously you're not gonna be able to play with NPCs. Heists are designed from the ground up to be played with a competent team of friends who can communicate via mic.

I understand getting annoyed that certain stuff isn't available in invite only like the whole crate thing but it's just dumb to complain that you can't play with a team of NPCs when the whole point of the game is to be playing with real people.

[Hellbendzor]

The whole crate thing can be done in solo public sessions... You only need to know how to create a solo session and lag yourself out to create one...

They're tweaking it though... These days solo public sessions don't last as long as they did in the past and I suspect they're gonna eliminate this possibility completely in the near future (read October 4th)...
