I love how nobody even bother in making a thread for this new adversary mode.

 

It just shows you how disposable are those games when their utility(2×$) rans out

when you got about 3-5 friends with nutting to do....

 

you will be surprised how fun some of these modes become.....

 

 

 

adversary modes are like free stcikers that come with a magazine....no point even complaining about em, they are just there like

I like your analogy but I will counter with this-

 

Many people only buy the magazine for the stickers. If the stickers are not to their liking, they condemn the entire magazine.

 

I'm not one of those people but I think you see what I am saying.

 

I will also counter in saying, I think very few people only like the mag for the stickers, similar to only a small portion of the community who likes adversary modes

I'd rather use those friends to a heist or free roam events than playing a official spawn trap deathmatch, thank you very much.

 

And what truly concerns me is that they are wasting their time and resources on sh*t players won't be bothering to touch again when the payouts come back to normal.

 

Just look at how many adversary modes we have now and how many of those are getting plays that aren't 2×$.

 

Now look at how many missions we ahve gotten and how old is the latest contact mission.

 

Exactly.

Yes yes no doubt, I was speaking more of drip feed content in general that comes with Updates.

 

Update=magazine

Drip Feed=stickers

 

But yeah you are correct that not many play exclusively for Adversary Modes.

[Maxxi]

Modded accounts is interesting topic. First of all, you should answer the question why do you want to spot it? Often, their behavior tells everything forward and saves you time on exploring the stats. If the owner of the account is smart enough, he can disguise himself in a way that a quick check from players screen will not reveal him. And after Billionaire days, dns hacks and multiple transfer waves it's impossible to say who is legit. I have never deliberately used any exploits back on X360/ X1 but my total cash is billions after some bounties I killed back in 2013-2014.

 

There are however some stats that may reveal a foul play, but no way you can reach them without diving into social club:

• Absence of some awards like Pigs can fly or Most wanted should ring a bell, just as Vehicle thief;
• Time played cannot be modified and there should be serious discrepancy between rank and time played;
• Boat is not a sign anymore, because APC is classified as boat too;

However, half-smart individual can easily play the game on modded account and make it completely legit looking: correct awards, plausible k/d and kill count, but time played remains.

Sounds like myself, only I have time played on my account to back me up. I rarely if ever fight other players (in fact I killed my first 2 randoms yesterday on accident with my Oppressor when riding back to my buddy's office to source another vehicle), and my stats aren't a dead giveaway unless you look at my income and spending habits (sold over 500 million in vehicles, spent 3 billion over 3 years, 29.8 billion in income, etc.).

I'm a little disappointed with the sound of the Torero but looks nice. Anyone else?

adversary modes are really really easy to make..its a fun lil side thing to do...and comes with x2

 

not much is meant to be made of em I dont think...like the sticker metaphor

[Pedinhuh]

It's not the difficulty of making those modes that is my issue, I honestly think they don't spend more than an afternoon in making those, given how little they care about balancing them.

 

It's how that and free mode events related to CEO, VIP and MC, have been their ONLY priorities since...Heists maybe?

 

Sure there are Lamar, special vehicles and weaponized personal vehicles missions, but those are almost as infuriating to play as Heists, since you to play with other players, if they quit you fail the mission, that kind of BS we all know very well right now.

 

I'm talking about the simple, straight to the point, no non-sense Contact Missions.

 

How hard it would be to just create new contact missions either? Wouldn't be hard at all because they are very simply structured, as it was revealed when the mission creator was leaked, some months back.

 

Hell, why don't they just let us have the mission creator and limit the payouts we get from those player created missions?

 

Awnser: Because they think their adversary modes are better, since they have more plays(because of 2x$ payouts)

[R3CON]

My perspective on Adversary modes are summed up by these two posts:

I agree with LL that they're quite a fun time with friends. I used to have such a negative perspective of them from the forums, but when actually doing this with friends/crewmates in game it's actually been a real good time. Add voice chat for best effect.

 

However, I also agree with this:

 

The amount of and frequency of adversary modes annoys me because I can't help comparing the attention they get, to the complete abandonment of contact missions.

I really wish they had long since allowed us to create contact missions.

 

It's not that adversary modes themselves are the issue, it's what the devs put their time into. The problem is that Rockstar only focuses on PvP based game modes.

 

Adversary modes are their latest and wonky attempts to get players to kill each other in new and creative ways.

The supply/sell businesses are missions that are locked to public lobbies, thus allowing players to join NPCs in causing mayhem for the CEO/MC.

 

Both of these things are perfectly fine, but they've abandoned Contact Missions, Heists and DLC additions to story mode (which would've likely included new missions).

The PvE aspect of the game and the solo-player aspect of the game, which the GTA franchise used to focus on exclusively, has withered on the vine in favor of these adversarial conquests.

 

No one needs help or motivation to kill other players and cause mayhem in GTA Online. It's a given and at this point in time, pretty much what people expect when they load into a random session. It doesn't take much imagination to use various weapons/vehicles in such a manner.

 

But what we, the playerbase, can't do is add new dialogue, contacts from which we can launch missions, scripted cutscenses and action, etc. We lack the tools in game to add this ourselves. Considering the exploits that exist already, it's understandable why a mission creator hasn't been added.

It would be awesome to see Rockstar take the reigns and provide new PvE missions; develop the aspects of the game we cannot.

 

But as things stand today it's vastly one-sided, which draws the ire of the community.

Yes I liked the last AM. We're going to go back and try the other vehicle based ones. I just saw on Reddit the new one is another PvP juggernaut mode. The bunker game with the jugg was incredibly boring so I'm not holding out a lot of hope for the new one.

[jdv95]

it's just sad the rare more unique AM modes are always being followed by a reskin/unbalanced sh*tfest.

 

slasher,every bullet counts,hardline and overtime rumble are the only ones that are being thought of as fun or unique.

 

instead of adding double on CS races that they always seem to do at dry times,they should just add double cash on the mentioned AM modes.

 

that way the good ones don't go to the same sh*thole the bad ones go.

Could someone play a match of Power Mad and post how long the rounds take?

[tommyguns]

Anyone else NOT bought in to gunrunning? If not, what's your main reason & do you think you will eventually feel pushed into it, because of the more powerful weapons it makes available?

 

Or do you think you can remain competitive anyway, or maybe you don't feel the things you enjoy wont be effected too much by it?

I haven't. Don't see myself ever, either. If I wanted to play a shooter with tanks and jets I'd play Planetside 2 or go buy Battlefield or something. You know, an actual shooting game. As far as being affected by GR, again it's a NO. They can't get those weaponized vehicles into a round of golf, or a race, and can't seem to bother me while I'm tooling around in passive mode with my Dodo.

I think it would be cool to have an APC to screw around in, but don't realistically see myself ever buying one.

[Happy Hunter]

Lol at the new adversary mode. That could've been a new attack heli, and we got that?

 

(Not playing it by the way).

[Coleco]

I'm not that big into Gunrunning. I bought the MOC because I always wanted a truck cab PV and this is the closest we have to one. I have no interest in the new weapons or military vehicles/clothing and after doing two deliveries to get the Ammu-Nation hoodie I won't be doing any more. It's more of the same stuff with added terminator NPCs.

 

PvP is not one of the reasons I play GTAO so I just make do with what weapons I already own. So far I've fared quite well when some level 100 with a Napoleon Complex and paintball mask steps up, so no reason to upgrade. That and the cost, of course.

 

Two of the the dripfeed cars were the only things I was really interested in, and now I have them both so I guess that's it for me regarding this update.

It was it for me this update before it was even out to be honest. Only the APC looked cool (and non-goofy) - but they messed it up.

I was bought into that mess because of the explosive ammo for the mk2 sniper, that is the ONLY effective anti-jet weapon.

 

Had to buy the bunker.

Had to buy the MOC.

Had to pay millions on fast tracking because there's no way I was going to wait months to unlock it through that stupid research.

 

In a few weeks or months, everyone should have their own explosive ammo for the sniper, if you don't follow suit, you will be left behind.

 

I also bought a weaponized Tampa but I hate it, drives like garbage and barely offers any protection for the driver.

[tommyguns]

I quite looked forward to GR....although what I imagined it could be & what it turned out to be, were very very different. So much about it kinda disgusted me. It's not even an improved money maker, people can do better with IE alone.

 

I'm not big on free mode PVP either. I spend most of my time on race tracks, doing missions, doing IE. But I like just messing around in free mode as a break from that stuff. I've only ever used passive if I was shopping or spawning cars, don't go looking for trouble, but quite happy to kill the people who came after me.

 

I hate that armed military vehicles are PV's, that the ridiculous flying bike exists, ditto for explosive rounds & the magical thermal scope that let's you see people through buildings, small hills, and in some cases even let's you shoot through them apparently.

 

I don't want all that, but if I'm honest, I have wondered whether I will be left at a disadvantage for not having them. Kinda like when I started out in the game & I was running around with a pistol & people with AK's Carbines etc were coming after me.

 

GR just seems like such a hassle though & a HUGE expense for a few weapon upgrades. Because the missions don't sound fun, everything I've seen makes them out to be seriously frustrating. The vehicles, I either don't see much use for, or actively dislike in the case of the harry potter broom erm...i mean the oppressor.

 

Good to know others have steered clear of it

 

If they add aircraft customisation to it though.....

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

Anyone else just currently so tired of this game they barely log in anymore and when they do it is only to kill other players ?

 

Really, i hope with all i am we have seen the last of updates now, things ain't getting better anyhow, just more expensive.

 

I mean, really, even this sh*t is fairing better then GTAO at the moment in my book !:

 

 

 

Seriously, it is quite relaxing to play on that one coming from all this paywall broken online mode garbage

[TankGirl]

Does any one else enjoy going on the Pier rides as much as I do? That roller coaster never gets old. I especially enjoy hearing helicopters trying to blow me up while im on the coaster but they cant because I am in passive mode. I wish they would open up that other ride that is between the ferris wheel and coaster, looks fun.

Remember folks, this isn't the B&M thread.

 

Also, I do enjoy riding the roller coaster. I remember being so happy when they added the rides Online.

I tried to give it a social touch

 

About the rides though, i did enjoy them the few times i used them, but i must say i have not used any of those rides in quite a while by now.

Last time i did was during xmass 2 years ago i think, back on ps3, with some of the people i heisted with an such...

Must say, that was a really lovely moment

[Rafae]

I tried to give it a social touch

 

Please.. don't touch anyone

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

 

 

Please.. don't touch anyone

Aaaaw, bit afraid of me, bro ?

 

You know what i always say when that happens

 

 

[tommyguns]

Never had such luck with sessions, load in, 5 people besides me, even though I have a bounty from last night they don't bother me. Not even the two cars who turned in to LSC as I was leaving, they just beeped their horns at the sight of my slate blue Sentinel.

 

Over the last hour people left, leaving me with my own session again

[Prince_Polaris]

I got a few questions for you guys, since I'm not sure where to look:

>How much Coke and Meth stock can I have before I get raided? anything below 50% like bunkers?

>Also, how many crates can I have in a large warehouse until it gets raided?

I can't help ya with the businesses as I don't touch those with a 10-foot barge pole.

 

However, I've never had a warehouse raid. They only occur when it's totally full.

So what I do is fill up 110/111, so when there are more friends around I do one crate mission and sell to get that sweet high-demand bonus.

You talkin' sh*t about my halftrack boi?!? It was probably one of the better attempts at military vehicles. It needs a Rustler to prey on.

 

That's about it for me too, since we finally got the Torero. If only it wasn't laughably broken... GODDAMMIT R* YOU HAD ONE JOB REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Oooh, nice! Okay, I was thinking of randomly buying crates every so often, and eventually having two full warehouses, ya know, as emergency money

Oh no the halftrack has a good vibe, lol. It's a more down to earth military vehicle, which is good.

 

Still, no aircraft - that made the update have a sour taste. If there's a part 2, it really has to have something to fly or it's kind of going to suck.
