Making GTA:O Objectives the same for all players

Daily Objectives were a brilliant addition to GTA online when they were first introduced, but over time have gotten to be more trouble than they're worth for many players. The reason for this is the difficulty to get into certain game modes

Captures, LTS, Veruses missions, Rally races, Vehicle and even Team and Normal Deathmatches can sometimes be impossible without the aid of a friend, meaning the game mode isn't actually being played.

Further dividing the possibility of finding other players is the fact that capture is broken down into four separate sub categories (Contend, GTA, Raid, and Hold). So if you used the quick join option and found someone else playing capture, there's only a 1/4 chance that it's going to be the capture you need

There are a few simple solutions that could vastly improve the experience

1. Making all players objectives the same, this would create traffic to often neglected game modes like Captures and Deathmatches and give people a reason (and chance) to play them again.

2. Removing the discrimination of capture types and having only one objective "Complete a Capture". This would make the "quick join" option more useful when trying to find a game.

3. Possibly having the objectives be consistent weekly (EX: Deathmatches Monday, Captures Tuesday, GTA Races Wednesday, Ect.) This would create a sense of habit and give people an incentive to get on if they are fond of a particular game mode that's being highlighted that day even if they didn't necessarily care about completing the objective. It

would also be helpful to have a "quick join" option for the day's game mode.

I sincerely hope that Rockstar and the GTA online community get behind these ideals so we can bring more attention to so many of the great game modes that just aren't being played today

If you took the time to read my post I think you'll see my point isn't about how easy it is to do them with friends it's about actually playing the game modes , I talk about it two sentences in actually.

Said friends will not help their own friends out though. They'll simply backstab them and move on with their lives.

Not everyone plays 24/7/365, and not everyone wants to be a friend. Said objectives should also not require friends either. Changing them like the OP said would not make it easier, (wich wasn't the point anyways) but more practical to complete them, wich is good.

In the first days of the daily objectives, I tried to complete them, but joining certain jobs could be really a problem sometimes, wich made me stop doing it.

So I would like it if they where the same for every player, because then I Think only connection errors would keep people (who want to complete them) away from them.

Petitioning Rockstar via change.org?

That's going to be as successful as the petition for the US to build its own Death Star

 

OP, I did the 28-day award 15 times before getting tired of it by September 2015. I just had a group of acquaintances I met from doing some of the less-visited modes (Captures, Vehicle Deathmatches, etc.) and I'd just message them during the match if they were doing them to complete the DO's. If they were, we'd agree to be less combative and just power through the modes. If any of us had one and needed help (especially Tennis, Arm Wrestling, or Impromptu Races) we could message each other for help on those and just let each other win. We weren't friends (for the most part) and didn't invite each other to other game modes or even heists. We we just part of a loose DO clan and we all played at random times so there was one of two of us (of about 20) on at any given time. If none of us were, we'd just try later. Better than waiting in a lobby for what seemed like forever.

Then that is a sh*t friend then.

[Nacho Z]

I just quit out of the game until I get something like:

 

1. Go to the movies

2. Make a sandwich

3. Have a nice lie down

 

So it wouldn't be an improvement for me if I couldn't reset them to my preference anymore but in the spirit of what the DOs are supposed to be about, and not just me squeezing a bit of easy extra money out of the game, your idea makes sense.

[aquahaze2]

People seem to be confused on what i'm proposing, my fault for keeping my post too cluttered and hard to understand i'm sure

 

It's not about how easy it is to do it with friends (like i said in my post) it's about giving an incentive to play the game modes that often go ignored like Captures or LTS,which I happen to really enjoy and would like to be able to play again. Maybe I'm the only one, afterall i've never heard anyone else talk about this, and if i am that's fine. I just wanted to put an ideal out there that someone else might really like and get behind

Unlike others I can get behind the "same objectives for everyone" (not dissing anyone who commented so far, simply going along with OP for the ride) but the issue I have with DO's is how boring they are. I was a few days short of doing the whole month of daily objectives thing but gave up due to how repetitive they are. I'd like more cool stuff like the long wheelies or parachute from a certain height. Adding more fun stuff, maybe new enemies? Like boss battles in gang attacks where once you beat all enemies this guy with a heavy armor suit and like a minigun shooting RPG's or something but he has sh*t aim. That would be awesome!

Indeed. I would just like them to be cool. Like very specific things.

 

- Do a Stunt Jump in a rusty Tornado

- Kill 5 players with a golf club

- Fly under the same bridge twice in 10 seconds

 

etc etc etc you get the idea. Just new stuff that can be easily done, but still requires the effort of actually carrying out the act.

Yup, I definitely misread. Apologies. I 100% agree. Captures in particular are badly neglected and the fact that they are one of the most diverse game modes that aren't getting played annoys me even more. I've made some extremely good captures (Annihilation for example), yet due to the lack of players interested in captures well, it seems I spent a load of time and effort in the creator for almost nothing. The only time Captures were popular was when they were released and when they had double payouts.

 

I wouldn't say LTS are that neglected seeing that all of these "vs" modes including my own fill up quite quickly. But like I said, anything becomes popular when there's a double payout.

[FrugalDangerMan]

Captures are dead. I've waited 45 minutes looking for a match. It's a joke now. Another annoying thing? Many adversary modes are lumped in with versus in the quick start menu but only some versus missions qualify (the ones in the "pause/online/jobs/rockstar created/versus") so odds are you won't get one that qualifies.

 

They won't change a thing though. They like it this way. There are far more profitable ways to spend an hour than dailys so every player stuck waiting for a match is a player not earning in free roam Biker/CEO missions.

 

Additionally, dailys are only worth it of you do 28 days in a row and odds are save game issues will screw you up in that last week like has happened to me multiple times.

 

The team who developed this are either gone or moved on to other things. This broken system as is, saves them money. Fixing it would require time and resources better devoted to other development and cost them money in payouts in the long run. There is no reason for them to bother.

 

R*. If it ain't broke, break it. If it broke, good. More money for us.

 

 

----------

 

EDIT. Here be the math.

 

6 x 25k x 4 = 600k

3 x 100k = 300k

1 x 500k = 500k

Total 1.4 mill/mth

 

Solo biker contracts I made 450k/3hrs.

Let's say some slow days in there too.so avg of 100k in a dedicated hour.

 

100k x 28 = 3 mill in the same time I would otherwise be waiting for a match or trying to kill 20 players, etc.

The Daily Objectives system is as neglected as Survivals.

 

OP doesn't have a bad idea but I don't think it would noticeably lead to what he wants. Since the objectives each day are generated for each player at random (as evidenced by the method to re-jumble them if you don't like what you're given) I don't know if Rockstar even could synchronize the objectives to all players

[livejoker]

@ash: Daily Objective makes me think of how Destiny has this guy that you go to and you pick out objectives to complete. I'm thinking R* could add, say, 3 spots on the map where you go to so you can talk to an unkillable NPC or check some menu out which has about 5 daily objectives (pick only 3 out). That way you can take two objectives from one spot and 1 last one from another or something like that. Hell, it would be nice to be able to have a daily limit of daily objectives up to 5 a day and they have different rewards depending on difficulty. I'm probably thinking into this too much by now.

I wouldn't mind a pool of five that you need only do three to complete the reward (and then an extra $5,000 for doing the other ones!). If for nothing else, I'd like to not have the $5000 "cause havoc" one. $5K isn't much, but it's 20% of the day's objective reward.

Still glad they removed the sports and Impromptu Races for PS4/XB1/PC. People that never played on old-gen have no idea of the hell those were. I lost a lot of worthless K/D ratio trying to get strangers to do the ImpRaces with me.

DO's are always super easy for me.

Check DO's when first on before doing anything else. Don't like them > PSN settings > network > disconnect from internet. Takes you to single player. Reconnect to internet and check DO's once again. May take a few tries to get some easy DO's. Not a problem for me. Easy money.

[CarimboHanky]

i would start a petition on change.org requesting change.org to be closed!!!

Doesn't always work, however. R* pretty much patched the method by then.

[dieseltech20]

I always do my objectives, 2 characters and over 2 million a month for doing some simple, yet boring stuff, is fine with me. If I can't find friends or randoms to help me I just fire up one of the other consoles and use my wife's account. Normally once I do that, some random shows up though, lol.

 

Not a fan of having everyone do the same ones though. Removing the specific Capture, DM types would be nice though. Seems like every time I need a team DM all I find are normal ones and vice versa.

 

I always accept any Capture or Versus Invite that I see. They are almost always someone needing to perform a DO.

It always works. I've been doing this way forever. Not only on one character, but on multiple characters.

Yeah user input is terrible, george lucas was at his best when he made the prequels and completely ignored everything people told him.

You can just agree to disagree. Like, just your opinion man. Good vibes.

 

On topic: Daily objectives ... I stopped bothering with them a pretty long time ago. They're quite good money (I think), but I've done enough grinding on this game to last a lifetime - I don't bother much anymore.

[Business_Cat]

I still do them and I agree with most of OP's suggestions.

[Cackling Jack]

Funny enough I still do them If I don't get easy ones I just close the game untill I get decent ones that I actually want to do,

I hate grinding as well but these things take 15 minutes at the most.
