Will extensive sabotage of smuggler's run cargo sales help extend GTA's playability?

[duskpanthers]

Imagine a sky full of upgraded flying machines -- more destructive and armoured than the current hydra -- GTAO will truly be unplayable.

 

So shall we do our part to at least slow down this onslaught by sabotaging smuggler's cargo sales

 

Sorry genuine plane lovers...

 

 

 

 

[Big Molio]

Well I'm doing my part simply because I am a self-styled saboteur anyway. Now I have my ultra-hard NPCs to back me up every job you go to, it's going to be harder than ever for you mwahahahaha

[REXX]

Nope, I think the stealing option instead of destroying was a good choice. Much more of an incentive to actually go after players to steal it and sell it for 10k rather than blow it up for 2k.

 

Then again, I mostly play solo so it makes no difference to me

The rival CEO quits and the package disappears, because reasons.

I would honestly like to know what Rockstar were smoking when they thought this up..

Meh, I move my things in solo and friendly lobbies.

 

K thx bye.

Will pissing in someone else's swimming pool improve its water's quality? Idiot.

I prefer to help other players make money and avoid following R*s suggestions to destroy other players red icons. R* don't like me very much and to me that feels better than griefing some poor random so he/she remains poor. That's just petty.

I can just imagine... Steal package, find new session, spawn at hangar, package delivered.

I/E vehicle cargo can be stolen and delivered to your warehouse after the CEO ragequits though.

[Sanches]

Make love, not war.

[FallingAway]

Not really, the missions are time consuming and the payouts for this business are terrible, once people get their price unlocks you aren't going to see many people actually using it to make money.

[The Wandering Hunter]

SR isn't very profitable. looks like you'll have to sabotage all other work too.

[duskpanthers]

wait.. It is not about reducing their profits, it is to prevent them from unlocking those killer machines

[Happy Hunter]

Call me crazy, but I think the new vehicles are surprisingly fair.

 

The jet doesn't have an explosive cannon; the planes that do are twitchy and much harder to use than the Lazer/Hydra; bombs seem to have a small blast radius (not to mention they're limited); flares need to be timed properly; I don't see the problem.

this game is quickly becoming unplayble with all the full metal jackasses swooping around in indestructible death from above kill machines that theyve bought with daddies credit card or glitched money, what happened to the good old days? im shaking my head, and shooting down every aircraft i see and i advise you to do the same, the more people slowing down this rapid descent into airborne disease the better

[bulldog385]

I just decided after playing tonight to pay full amount, for the Items that I want to buy, which is 2 things (The Hunter & The Vigilante) I'm on the fence right if i want to buy the P-45 Nokota on release or wait for better Discount.

[Schumy7]

Its a warzone yes, but you can overreacting!!!!

 

The planes are easy to avoid or destroy.

They are not op. Countermeasures and cluster bombing are not verry accurate either and some are prett Slow. The old old lazer a d hydra stays the king in the sky sadly.

have you actually fought the new aircraft?

Again someone moaning about "daddy's credit card". Its people with 'daddy's credit card' that are the reason we even get a dlc in the first place be thankful. Shark cards don't make you more skilled, if anything the people who buy shark cards are less skilled as they haven't the same experience at playing. Me and some of my friends never bought one and we all have one of the new planes so that really isn't the case. Don't be salty just because you don't know how to earn money and buy things yourself.

[HaRdSTyLe_83]

the payout is s*it, i doubt many people are selling, and how would screwing other peoples work improve the game?

 

you put little effort into this didnt you @OP ?

its skewed so earning money takes a ridiculously long time and requires you to grind doing the same boring sh*t, id rather a balanced game thats fun and fair and pay for my dlc or have none than have this shark card bs cash cow are you kidding me? you cant defend cash cards but this isnt the thread for that, this is the thread to discuss the disease that is the death from above jet noobs with shielded missile proof custom hulls and pink wings, spamming explosive miniguns on everything that moves on the roads and backwoods of san andreas

[tomy90]

I haven't yet got anything part of the smugglers run dlc (still grinding money and research sadly).

 

So far I've only had one you know what in one of the new planes whilst collecting a vehicle for import exporting ruin my run (thankfully wasn't delivering)

 

Aside from that the skies do certainly appear a lot more busy

 

I am sure things will quieten down on the flying side of things once the dlc gets old.

 

Just look at the Jet bike I haven't had anyone attack me on one of those for a long time now.

 

But it definetly worries me whenever I am trying to earn money.

 

Shame you have to be in public lobbies to do import export and gun running

Just save up. The office and vehicle warehouse cost a couple million to set up but in the long run it's going to earn you a hell of a lot more. I've made around 20 million from mine. Like you said, this isnt the thread about shark cards but I think it's relevant to your post. I just don't understand why you think a paid dlc would be better, a paid dlc where everything is free? Wouldn't that be worse for planes being everywhere? Wouldn't there be MORE planes because everyone has access to them? People really take GTAs dlc system for granted and you're gonna realise how good it was when red dead redemption 2 comes out and its $/£20 for every dlc they add.

[RollsReus1959]

If there was any stealing of cargo and keeping it for yourself than it should have came for the crate hunting and the IE carjacking. Makes no sense to introduce it for Smuggling when smuggling is worth the time and effort for a low return.

OT the smuggling missions aren't profitable so sabotage doesnt really fix the problem at this stage, id argue that sabotaging peoples cargo makes them more likely to buy a shark card and thats the scourge we want to avoid where possible, having said that i enjoy chasing down cargo too much to stop doing it, even though it plays into rockstars agenda its the most fun i can have in freeroam with my pants on

more destructive and armoured than the current hydra

 

Minimum threshold for panic not met.

 

When I see a vehicle that can consistently go one-on-one with a Hydra, then I'll start to worry about the armored sky-vehicle invasion.

 

As of yet, the new vehicles are... well, laughable. I'm sorry to all the die-hard fans of specific new vehicles, but... I only have one word for them... "Meh".

 

Of course, this is only my opinion, and I know some people will strenuously object to their vehicle of choice being called meh, but Buzzard and Hydra are still my champs.

A Rogue has a faster top speed than a Hydra, can turn more sharply, go straight up without stalling, and has countermeasures.

 

People will always take a while before getting the most out of vehicles. There's always those who spot where they might be good early on, and those who catch on later. Like with jets - for a good year or two a lot of people were like "meh, it goes fast so you have to be skilled to use it".

 

Fast forward a year or so, and they're the most complained about of all vehicles.

 

That said, I think these vehicles are pretty fair against people on foot. The guns are fairly difficult to hit people on the ground with, compared to the jets anyway.

If you own a vehicle warehouse you can steal and keep other's sourced I/E cars for you, but you will pay the repair bill.
