The new Special Vehicles were a big hit with the community also, with the Ruiner 2000 the most popular of the set and the star of some incredible stunt videos as a result.

Ending the transfers?

 

Thank f*ck for that.

[CarimboHanky]

oooh sh*t the door is closing!!!

[Skycam]

Still no hydra sale. Can't get one with my second character and I'd really like one for her. Haven't done the mission to unlock it yet.

 

Maybe I'll buy an office for my second character though. That might be fun, but I was never planning on making her a ceo. My main is the CEO. I play on my second just for fun. We'll see what happens tonight, but, I don't think these sales are for me. Second has the buzzard already and she doesn't collect cars. Main character has all these toys.

^^ R* can generate tens of discount weeks for the foreseeable future offering numerous "things" without any new DLC (just press the "random discount week" generator and post).

 

...just saying this isn't a reasonable means of judging whether or not the game is fading... If GTA Online is surviving, it's mostly because new blood keeps jumping into the game; a lot of older players are done with it.

 

We’d like to thank players worldwide for continuing to be vigilant in helping us crack down on cheaters and malicious hackers by reporting them through the game’s menu.

^^ No disrespect to R* on this, but all I can do is just laugh. Truth is they're reaping the consequences of their own poor decision(s) since day one. Three+ years into GTA Online, no attempt at built-in anti-cheat since day one, and mod menus (at least on the PC) are as rampant as ever. And though to a lesser extent, consoles will always have their own form of cheaters too (using glitches, etc.)

 

Not going to change anytime soon. The last few nights have been h*ll in some public sessions with what's going on (not as visible as summer 2015, but still very much there).

 

And yes, I know Invite-Only sessions are the "answer" per se, but some things can still only be done most easily via public sessions if you're into completing Daily Objectives.

I'm going to miss those ×2 special vehicle missions. Was rather easy to join them lately.

Glad to hear this amazing game isn't slowing down one bit. It's gonna be a great year.

loving those stats, also the big success with the ruiner 2000 may imply we would see more over the top stuff like that in the future.

Finally a permanent stop on all the modded accounts.

 

For all you guys still playing on PS3 or XBox360:

Transfer your accounts before the final date on a friend's console. You can still play on old gen then, but have the insurance of not having to start all over when you do upgrade.

[Jenkiiii]

The statement, "Stay tuned for upcoming info on new updates in the works for GTA Online in 2017", is encouraging and I think GTA online is alive and well.

 

But I was really hoping for better 2x payouts than this. I don't like any of these adversary modes - it's GTA online for little kids.
Not the best selection, Rockstar.

How about 2x payouts on the new VIP Jobs? To encourage us to buy and test the special vehicles like the Ruiner 2000, Armoured Boxville, etc... Seems like a missed opportunity.

That's great advice. Those that do should make sure they do it properly. Make sure you transfer your progress to your account and not your friends. May need to pay to subscribe to ps+ or find a free trial somewhere... still solid advice, IMO.

I think he was referring to the record number of players playing gtao last month.

[SHADOW OPS]

3 of my fave adversary modes on that playlist. I will be playing that today.

[kottonmouth401]

A 3+ year old game generating record numbers...thats just astonishing! GTA online isn't going away any time soon.

[Mrs. Buzz]

Charackter transfer doesn't mean unlocking returning player bonus, right? Have a full list for friends and only get done two a week - I hope I don't run out of time here?

[Voit Turyv]

I guess I won't be getting a modified account.

Boooooooo What they should say is "We know we were stupid and allowed modded accounts to transfer the last 2 years but were gonna disable them March 1st. It was our bad decision that allowed people to transfer for a year and a half with no limits what so ever."

[OfficialTwiggz]

So now every modder is going to create as many accounts they can, and transfer them over.

 

One gets banned, switch. That gets banned, switch. Etc etc.

 

Giving a date wouldn't be cool. They should have said, Starting February 1st, they will no longer be available to transfer.

[Sagrawa]

I guess I won't be getting a modified account.

Time to start playing legit, bro.

I'm all for second chances, so wouldn't even mind helping you out when you do.

[Semaj 2JZ♢]

I honestly don't believe them about the Ruiner 2000. IF it's that popular then people have just bought it for bragging rights and just leave it in their garage. Because I have only seen 3 Ruiner 2000s in all of FR since they dropped. Never even found a special vehicle mission to join, that was created just for it, during this last double $, either.

 

Also, supposed highest influx of players during December apparently is the cue to shut down transfers and whatnot because, why? The game is just too popular now? This whole thing stinks like dead fish...

[DentureDynamite]

I think he was referring to the record number of players playing gtao last month.

 

Yes, you're right; I do think it's surprising that so many are playing--but again, they are new players jumping in. I base this on how many players I see in each session below, say, level 200.

 

I started in Oct. '14, so I'm not a veteran like release day players; but one of my characters is nearly 400; the other 300.

 

Don't get me wrong--I still enjoy freeroam in GTA Online (gang attacks are still one of my favorites, and I'm thankful for the addition of special vehicles); it's just frustrating to think of where this game could be with a little change of vision and infused resources.

 

I honestly think R* drastically (but perhaps understandably) underestimated the time, effort and personnel that would be required to keep GTA Online going in the long-term.

We've never needed to transfer our characters to unlock the content, but no one probably knows what will happen after that time, whether players will still be able to unlock the bonus or not.

[DarkFlame588]

Maybe I can finally check off those two glitched Juggernaut maps.

[Sagrawa]

The sudden boost of players is mostly accountable to the fact that a lot of people have bought/received a PS4 or XBone because of the major decrease in prices on both consoles.

And yeah, half of those people bought GTAV as well.

If you knew what happened to him you would say otherwise, R* shafted him over.

[Retroview1955]

Like Ive been saying for a while now. GTA Online is alive and well. Rockstar is keeping it fresh, because they know it will take a while to develop the next GTA. They wont be letting the cash cow walk away as more people are continuously playing the game. I say we all just enjoy GTA V and let Rockstar apply lessons learned in GTA V development and apply them to the next GTA for a truly mind-boggling game experience!
