GTA Online General Chat

[Mach1bud]

Well, this thread survived 45 pages and 1,300+ posts, so I am removing the "beta" designation from the thread. I guess we can call this a permanent addition to the GTA Online section. Don't f*ck it up though, rules still apply.

[Rafae]

Yayyyyy

[RedDagger]

Just because it's out of beta doesn't mean there aren't any bugs that need to be ironed out tho

 

we just got most of the bugs with this thread

LSC - loads of players seem oblivious to the coke packets, time after time I collect all of them & nobody else makes a move on them at all. I'm not complaining though, fingers crossed for double $$$ & RP on Martin missions soon.

 

I'm gonna miss 25% faster production at my bunker, its meant I could just about squeeze two sales into one evening, provided I planned ahead and one was ready to roll soon after logging in.

[Rafae]

25% faster production for the bunker and biker businesses is a god send.

 

The stock is filling up to amounts I didn't even know were possible in that short of a timespan. So much easy profit to be made here.

[tommyguns]

Yeah, an easy 420-500k & the really nice part is that I've been lucking out by getting almost all of my sales as 1 drop insurgents or marshalls with a handful of wedges, for weeks now. Long may it continue, the 5 drop insurgents are such a drag. So both sales take me maybe 10-15mins a night tops

 

I shift a couple of IE cars to pay for supplies & top up with VIP work.

Imagine if the drill from the fleeca job became a purchasable melee weapon. You just run up to a pedestrian on the street and stick a drill through the back of their head and it plays an extremely long animation.

In the meantime both got rekt by explosive ammo through a wall using thermal scope while sniping from a chopper, flaring like there is no tomorrow... just to be vote-kicked. Welcome to 2017, my friend, where ultra-violence is sacrificed in favor to mass-violence.

You couldn't shoot anyone from a heli that was flaring, only two can do that, and you can't use a gun in either one. Hopefully R* listen to my pestering though & also allow flares or chaff for the buzzard and savage, as well as all pre SR unarmed aircraft.

 

They really do need to pull their finger out and do something about the shooting through walls crap though. They even got the implementation of thermal vision wrong, thermal can't see people through walls or buildings and hillsides. If a person was standing the other side of a window & you pointed a thermal can at them, you wouldn't see them. It would just show an image of the pane of glass, because it has its own heat signature.

 

Magic thermal cams to go with the magical flying bike I suppose

Don't forget the other passenger shooting extra flares with a flare gun while having the ammo menu open.

Im thinking now. What will happen when GTA O support will end? Will Rockstar close servers? Will they let community to mod it as much as they want?
Speaking off, what happened to GTA IV multiplayer? Is it still online?

They'll let it run the same way they let GTA IV's MP run, without content updates anymore. I don't see them shutting down the servers (if they even do) until well into the future. GTA IV's MP is still running yes (as in they didn't shut down its servers).

So basically nothing will change, but content updates will stop comming?

It'll still be up, but without support, it'll deteriorate once r* stops adding patches and hot fixes. Once people start dropping money, all anybody will do is freeroam deathmatches.

Pretty much. Were you expecting something else?

[Sanches]

Yeah. Sandbox with mods...

^ That's already a thing on PS3/360/PC. No need to bring it over to PS4 and Xbox One

I think it's more the matter of PS4/XB1 modifications in general.

One passenger is sniping, another one is flaring with a gun, solid strategy, did it with Frogger. Last time I checked (mid-summer) it was possible to stand (!) on Cargobob with homing launcher, that was also confirmed by Gridl0k.

[tommyguns]

Ah it totally slipped my mind that handgun flares now worked on homing rockets

 

 

I havent played gtao over Christmas in years, so what can we expect from R*, apart from snow? Do they usually add much content?

How sexual is that?

 

Good thing was that since I was near a lot of heli spawn points, I was able to spawn various different ones after it started smoking. Like, after that clip I quickly got a Savage, killed him and used up more of his ammo - then spawned another Buzzard, used up more - then back to a Savage.

 

Still need to get thinking and come up with other anti-sniper techniques though. You're not always going to be near a spawn point like that.

They usually release a good size update in December along with snow, so hope your $$$ is ready lol

Pijamas. But only for limited time to use, not to buy. And they glitched festive 2015 pijama, if you bought it then, you can wear it now and it'll disappear like in 5 minutes, leaving you with black t-shirt and white sport pants.

[Happy Hunter]

Haven't blown anyone up with the Hunter for so long ... I'm feeling that hunger again.

 

Don't really feel like grinding air freight missions though, just to get it at some random time where I may or may not be feeling it (and you only get 20 minutes).

 

Wish they'd just release Him already.

I'm currently very split on a subject.

 

I'm (finally) about to get the Explosive Ammo, but... I don't know if I should use them, mainly because I dislike heavy use of explosives in PvP, and upgrading will not allow me to use the Heavy sniper as much as I'm currently doing.

Oh, i feel you so much here. Decisions, decisions.

I tell you what, time to blow a dust off regular Sniper Rifle and train to go for the headshots. Or you just can go wiggle-wiggle auto sniper.

I stopped using it after a week. It literally doesn't allow me to do anything I couldn't already do with normal ammo. I'd rather have 9000 bullets and have to use a few more shots than have 40 explosive bullets.
