Rockstar Newswire Update - Halloween Specials and More!

[Gaffa]

Yeah that Sanctus is just shy of $2 million by the way. Damn.

[P4DR0N3]

FYI

 

Of all the announcements here ONLY the discounts and the new Pegassi Vortex are actively in place.

 

The Skull Bike, the free $250,000, the Halloween vehicles previously released... NONE of that is active until Friday.

[DangerZ0neX]

I hate the Sanctus with a passion, it looks like something designed by KD/R obsessed kiddie who wears skull necklaces and earrings everyday.

 

By the way, the new Halloween weather cycle is exclusive to that stupid adversh*tty mode, just like how the electric shutdown is exclusive to Slasher. It's not a Rockstar game if the greatest ideas and features aren't implemented in the most retarded way possible.

[tenderronii]

i guess the weather was just a rumor then

[AequitaSaint]

Even though they didn't mention clothing, I'm still hoping they'll give us something. There's always that chance. Come on Rockstar, at least give us the Twitch Halloween shirts. You know it's what we want, and you don't even have to make anything new. They should also make the face paints available again, those were awesome.

 

Also, do we have to log in EVERY SINGLE DAY until October 31st? Not that it'll be a problem, but they made it seem like if you log in any day from today UNTIL then you'll get the cash bonus. I'm assuming that's what they meant since they said the money will be deposited by November 4th but I haven't been online today yet to see if I get the money.

No only once between today and friday. Sorry i fixed my wording up top. No the money will be deposited on/by November 4th not earlier.

The current money wipe requires players to login.

 

That's the only reason they are dangling that 250k carrot. Its been 3 years since Rockstar gave money away.

 

Anyone with +700M modded money should not login until after November 4th.

the halloween DLC hasn't been activated yet so it's still unused

[Gridl0k]

^ Why do you think players need to log in to be wiped, and why do you think it'll be safe after the 4th?

[Nors]

RIP Tron Bike? Btw, this Halloween special looks garbage tbh. Thanks for the 250k, I guess.

^ Why do you think players need to log in to be wiped, and why do you think it'll be safe after the 4th?

They don't. The account is wiped before logging in. The notice is just a courtesy statement regarding a players dubious activities, which R* didn't even need to do, but kudos for it anyways. No one is safe from this point forward. Waiting til later will not change the fact that your account was reset.

The $250,000 is in place now.

 

"To commemorate three years of GTA Online, we're awarding anyone that logs in on PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC from today through end of day Monday October 31st with a special GTA$250,000 gift, which will be deposited into your Maze Bank account by November 4th."

says the person who stopped playing in 2013....SERIOUSLY where do you guys come from?

[CReaper210]

Is that vortex limited or is it available forever?

[A.I.R]

I havent buy a 6 garage but R* is trying hard to make me do it

[Lazid]

Is that vortex limited or is it available forever?

Curious to know this aswel?

People complaining about the Halloween update seem to forget they never added anything new to the independence day update. This update works just like the Valentines Day one, they bring back the old vehicles and release one new one. I myself am looking forward to Friday. Gonna buy the Sanctus and put it beside my Franken Stange and Lurcher. Probably gonna dress up like Ghost Rider for the week

[DangerZ0neX]

A funky bike gets the name of a legendary amphibious vehicle, without even having any amphibious abilities.

 

What the sh*t is this.

Can't wait for them to release a car called the Hunter!

Umm ya.... 2013. That's right, I haven't played since 2013.

 

So tell me why Rockstar are giving money away to everyone that logs on?

 

And people only get paid on Nov 4th?

 

And why a supposed money wipe workaround (posted on a well know modding community board) involves logging on?

 

You a Rockstar shill?

Finally getting a Street Fighter, thank God

To celebrate 3y of GTAO.

 

Yes.

 

Because it does. How is this relevant?

 

No.

Rockstar has given us money multiple times and you weren't there to notice as for the "workaround" you can believe what you will. You can't get around transactions made on Rockstars end.

 

Name calling doesn't make you right it makes you look even sillier while saying stupid sh*t.

[TaazR]

Wow no new Slasher maps (their most popular adversary mode ever)... pretty disappointed, was really looking forward to it. Instead they come up with a retarded Saints Row-esque game mode

Edited October 25, 2016 by TaazR

[Nyamber]

The money DOES'NT get wiped until you log on. you can glitch the system during the screen where it says "Your account has been corrected" or whatever and completely bypass it, keeping your money. If it was already wiped, that would be impossible.

I didn't call anyone names, I asked were you a shill.

 

Learn comprehension if you're gonna accuse me of not playing since 2013 and call me a stupid chit.

 

Amd my argument still stands.

 

In the last 24 hours (approx) -

 

>Thread on here drops the money wipe bomb

>This wipe now includes a message that your account has been adjusted (displayed at login)

>Rockstar newswire includes free money for just logging on before Nov 4th.

>An unproven workaround supposedly provides steps to avoid the money wipe (these steps include logging on)

 

And that's all coincidence right?

 

I was unaware of Rockstar giving any money away since the server mess in late 2013. When and why did they give money away since then?

haven't kept up with rumours.. what is this?

It appears they (the poster) are assuming a Schroedinger's Cat stance. To their logic, it doesn't happen until you see it yourself.

Calling someone a shill (an unknowing accomplice) is an insult. Don't use words if you don't know their meaning. And why does it matter what they gave us money for? Its a fact that they have given rebates and rewards at least three times since 2013 (your claim).
