Bikers update out now!

[HeistsActivist]

 

 

Rockstar needs to see that fan trailer. It needs to go viral. That would be a game changing update.

Game changing?! FFS it's only a few racing cars, and we got such thing in the stunt update.

 

and what such video is doing on the biker topic? F*** out!

What did that change? A glitched car? Racing cars with standard customization? Stupid race maps with loops and bowling pillars? Seriously? We expected a lot more, a more mature content, with real race tracks, race rules to punish rammers and other idiots, a lot more. GTA wasn't this childish game as it is now.

 

I don't, I seriously don't see a real game changing update since Heists. And even that update, guaranteed griefers some 'rights' to do their sh*t.

 

The trailer proposes everything we wanted: huge car customization, on our garages, with friends, street races, cop behind us trying to ARREST us and not kill, car meets and everything else. Gosh...that'd be my dream update.

 

New Heists will save us in 2017

Hopefully followed by nightclubs

Don't worry the game-changing DLCs are coming

 

AND I DO NOT MEAN THAT IN A GEORGE R. R. MARTIN WAY

[HeistsActivist]

 

 

I hope we get missions involving the following of trains.

That damn mission almost made me stop playing San Andreas

Train heists would be fun

 

Yes hoping we get a train heist in 2017 along with tohers

 

Just think of Lester shouting at us to put on the railroad workers outfit and to "Hurry up and set the stop signs"

Then the Demolitions team rolls up and C4's a trailer full of valuable goods

We have to load it up and javck the train conductor out then roll the train off the rails to destroy evidence and the heist will be over.

It probably will be a 2,300,000 take on normal.

[GTA-Biker]

What do you guys think about some metric choppers,made from European or Japanese bikes?Is there a chance we could see something like these in GTA:

 

 

 

 

[Shadowfennekin]

Stealing a train would be fun I'd admit. But jacking the train full of goods Trevor was after in SP would be awesome for a Heist.

[jdv95]

knowing rockstar the heists would take place in free roam and public only.

 

goddamn that company these days ...

The rat bike appears to be metric

[GTA-Biker]

The rat bike appears to be metric

It's said to be made by Western,which is a GTA equivalent of Harley Davidson.It may be based on some non-Harley bike (like Gargoyle,which is based on an Indian),but it's probably based on something American.

I was thinking more like some chopper with a single cylinder, a boxer, a straight twin or a straight four engine,or maybe a Japanese or European made cruiser (Triumph Thunderbird, Moto Guzzi California, Kawasaki Vulcan...),would R* put something like that in game.

The MCs will likely be an extension to the CEO update but instead biker themed (this is a small update and it came out fairly quickly compared to other updates) so chances are they wouldn't have invested into a whole new system and rather use an existing one.

[Black-Dragon96]

As far as i know the stuff related to playercars on Rockstars Servers is simple textcode. And textcode does not need that much data storage.

[MusicMan05]

I have a feeling that bike customization will go deeper than what we think. Multiple seat options, tank options, frame options,etc will go on each and every bike.

What I'd like to see is a true Custom Biker Mechanic. Not a Biker mechanic that customizes bikes. The Biker mechanic could be called James, or Jesse. Instead of bringing a motorcycle to the Biker mechanic to customize like at LSC/Benny's, we get to build custom bikes in the Clubhouse's garage.

 

To build a motorcycle you start by choosing from a handful of frames, and then choose from an selection of parts in each category. Categories like engines, forks, gas tanks, handle bars, rear arms, seats, wheels, etc have to have a part choosen to finish the building bike. Meanwhile categories like exhaust pipes, fenders, instruments, lights, liveries, paints, panels, springs, etc are optional.

Well i think that is not gong to happen because of the way how the vehiclemodels in the files work (or atleast how i understand them).

The frame would work like a standart car model and the parts you add would work like tuningparts. But how would the damage model or the painting work?

Not sure if I would call it "small" from what it seems its rather big.It may re-use some functionality from previous stuff like the CEO office but that doesn't have to mean that its small by any means.The clubhouse with the druglabs may be a totally different gameplan compared to offices and warehouses.Also not to forget melee on bikes which is a new feature.But yeah it surely is an extension of the CEO update in a way.

I could be mistaken about rat bike, at first glance it looked like the motor was flat and parallel with the exhaust coming out the front but on second look the cylinder does indeed appear to be angled and probably vtwin

Would be nice, but it would mean a helluva lot of work from R* , and prolly on general serverload from all the strange combinations possible.

[Shadowfennekin]

What would be nice is if MC work can happen at the same time as "session wide VIP work"

[AUScowboy]

With eight player MCs it will be no problem to easily kick jet trolls from a session

I'd prefer stuff being available in freemode only. It's more fun than having to sit in a loading screen forever.

[Shimmer]

My hardware firewall will be useful again if it is public only sessions.

I'll have to get the old 4Khd youtube videos up to choke my connection - xbox here, so I don't really know any other method for it.

[eyman]

 

 

Or hopefully we can do biker jobs in invite only sessions,safe from any trolls.

That's some real wishful thinking there.

AKA never gonna happen. And if it did it should be applied to CEO stuff as well.

It should have been in invite only since it was released.Trying to make money in public sucks balls,there's always some prick who screws other people's attempts to make some profit.

A lot of players, and I mean a LOT of players were very annoyed with Rockstar's decision to have CEO's buy/sell missions only be available in public lobbies. Rockstar knows this frustrated players, so there is a small chance they will make all Biker missions available in Invite only. However this may take time to do as the CEO missions were tailored to public lobbies. (they had 2+ months)

 

They did answer why they did it, and here it is.

 

 

Why can’t we do Buy/Sell missions in a private session?

Succeeding as a CEO requires navigating the risks and rewards of the ruthless Los Santos free market – where everyone is out to snipe at your latest venture – so Buy and Sell missions were designed specifically for trade in public sessions. Keep in mind that more players in your session means a bigger bonus for successful sale of Special Cargo, while Associates receive wage increases for completing consecutive Buy or Sell missions with the same CEO. If you're concerned other players are hanging about your Warehouse or Office – pick the right time to sell, make sure you have Associates and get them to clear out players who are stalking you or waiting for you to execute a deal. Taking your team off the grid with the Ghost Organization ability and exiting via the rooftop helipad where possible are also solid strategies.

To be honest, I disagree that we should be able to do crates in inv sessions, like rockstar said, they're designed for public lobbies, they're ridiculously easy in empty/low player sessions anyway. Rockstar should just balance out freeroam because if they want to start pushing freeroam jobs out then it needs to be balanced.

 

I play free aim a lot anyway so it's fairly balanced there and there are less dicks, also if you want to succeed on a bike, then FA is where you gotta be.

 

So if there is similar crate like work in bikers then it won't be as bad as FAFF crates since most bikers play FA anyway.

Preach on about FA, brother.

 

For people who aren't in the more 'serious' crews (military sims, MCs, Mafias, etc) then FA is pretty chill.

 

However, since I'm in TLMC....I get shot at everyday, almost every lobby by blood-thirsty MCs that can't aim for sh!t. #1stWorldGTAMCProbs

This better have more variety than did crate work. That was painfully boring and very expensive to get started at. I've managed to succeed via several strategies, but it was often me forcing myself because I wanted to hit an arbitrary amount of money. Also, tossed away about $15m on 4 warehouses and an office. Never Again!

I agree. I've been doing a little since there's an offer on cargo, and it's already feeling like a grind again.

 

That ferrying back and forth sh*t just completely kills it. Every time that happens my heart just sinks so low. Oh God it's a grind.

I went FA the other day to help a friend with crate stuff, my god lobbies were so empty and peaceful and for bikers FA is deffo the place to be, cos melee bike attacks aint gonna do sh*t against a lock on machine gun

No blips.

Only

[DeniLHell]

just took another look at the screenshots... don't know if i discovered something:

2nd screenshot bike behind president and 4th screenshot bike on the left

looks like the same fork ... maybe same bike?

if so it would mean we would (finally) be able to customize handlebars, not sure but headlights seem different too, and apply wide tyre kits

 

holy sh*t - it needs to get tuesday - i'm getting mad

Is anyone else going to be really f*cking annoyed if you have to earn ranks?
