Coming soon to GTA Online - transform races and more

[Yellow Dog with Cone]

A naval focused update?

 

Nice, I can't wait traveling from the LS docks all the way up to Paleto Bay in a Dinghy, with more waves than a tsunami, while avoiding aimbot boats, Buzzards and your typical sh*tlord in an Hydra.

"The Hangars at LSIA and Fort Zancudo will need to make room for upcoming new aerial options, including the lethal and oft-requested Hunter attack helicopter."

 

Ayyy lmao.

 

So much for it's addition being coincidental, and having nothing to do with us, right?

who ever said otherwise?

 

So the next update will be another one of the "enjoy new $69million vehicles with guns that you need to buy another business to gain access to". sigh.

 

All this means is most likely I'll have one more set of emails/phone calls pestering me in-game to BUY THE NEWEST BUSINESS ALREADY

I think theyll be research vehicles like the last batch of GR vehicles. Not a new business but yeah, research can be frustrating for the new/poor/time strapped players.

 

Seriously, people forget that planes and boats are vehicles too, the next update WILL be a business, the property will most likely be a boathouse, and the new weaponized vehicles will be gunships, much like we got with smugglers run, only on water.There were a couple people here who like to post every chance they get that the Hunter bros had absolutely nothing to do with the Hunter finally being added. Seeing as a bunch of those guys sent petitions, mouth off emails, support articles, spamming all of R*s social media... i would say they at least had a small hand in getting it added finally.

 

I mean, the prefix literally stands for For Happy #1 Hunter fan. There is also that time they may or may not have shouted out Gridlock in the description for the ramp buggy (Grid had been begging for the ramp truck for quite a while). May have been a coincidence, i prefer to think it isn't. It's not insane to assume they browse these forums, half the cars we all asked for got added...Mamba, Rally Sultan, Penetrator, Elegy Retro, Tempesta, Nero, Turismo/Cheetah classic, FCR 1000, and a bunch more were all cars that had been heavily requested here for a while before they were added.

The references could be a fluke or coincidence, but those cars were brought up here specifically and each got added as the demand grew behind each car. I have been playing the entire time, so i got to see them get added after being "oft requested" for long periods of times. R*faggio all but confirmed that they moniter reddit as well as GTAF fairly extensively. How the hell do you think theyre able to passify enough regulars to keep us around for 4 years now? By pandering to us, that's how.

Where the f*ck are people getting this Naval DLC bullsh*t from?

 

It hasn't even been hinted at in the least wtf lmao

[BullseyeSBT]

 

A PvE business is due. None of this "join a public session" rubbish. They need to start focusing on PvE more.

More PvE is always welcomed.

 

Well we need to make a case for it... like what was made for the hunter.. maybe even a petition..

 

I used this https://www.rockstargames.com/GTAOnline/feedbackto write a message regarding PvE missions, but sometimes that page is broken, so use their direct email address [email protected] 'Helisexuality' set a precendent in as much that sending suggestions to them does work, but it's no good just one person writing to them... we all have to.. but they probably will just discard ones with profanities & childish remarks.. so goes without saying, but be polite

 

 

Worth a try!

[AUScowboy]

People just ASSumed that because GR and SR focused on land and air that we'll get a sea based dlc to round it out. I can see why they'd think that, but I definitely wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it... credible folks have said they also find it highly unlikely.

[Rafae]

With SR's description they even teased that the only way left to go for the busineses was up (the skies, aircraft etc.) so that makes a naval themed update even less plausible/likely lol

 

I could never see Rockstar releasing an update revolving around this theme.

[Xiled]

We already can have a yacht so we basically already have had a naval dlc

[Yellow Dog with Cone]

Slightly off topic, but I always found odd that most of the tattoos added in Smugglers Run, an aircraft focused update, are naval themed.

[AUScowboy]

Piracy themed to be more specific. Seeing as the update has the words Smugglers in the title, pirate themed tatts kinda make sense.

[REXX]

Dunno why, but if a Naval DLC is to come... Whats the betting the useless Tug becomes weaponised? I mean... they weaponised a useless Boxville...

 

I wouldn't mind a Naval DLC, but certainly not on my list of DLC's. Anyway, this whole Naval thing is pure speculation.

[Schumy7]

There is np naval or boathouse dlc.

I dont care either. Ill buy it anyways.

But with the Boxville we got Fortified. Nowadays we have to pay more and get less.

[AUScowboy]

Fortified is worth the waste of space that is the (un)armored Boxville. That vip job has rounded me up to an even 100k countless times when grinding exports.

[SilverRST]

This doesn't change the current Stunt Races to Transform Races, right?

[Rafae]

This doesn't change the current Stunt Races to Transform Races, right?

Nah, it'll be completely separate, new tracks most likely.

[AUScowboy]

Would be nice if there was a quick way to convert stunt tracks to transform tracks though. I have a bunch of more traditional races using minor stunt props for signage and aesthetic that I would love to be able to race Ardents and Ramp Buggies and Nightsharts on..

Seeing we can switch Stunt Races to Special Stunt Races with the push of a button, we'll most likely get it for the Transform races too

I think i actually have the answer to this one. Back when we got that first glimpse of gunrunning, the pic of the APC, at first glance i thought it was a patrol boat which sent my heart racing. After a moment I realised my mistake, but my imagination had already been triggered. All I could think about was what kind of cool military vehicles we may get. My mind went directly to boats and planes. After all was said and done, gunrunning felt like a missed opportunity. All that fun cool stuff but no air force or navy gear!? I decided to funnel my ideas into two Gunrunning sequel concepts; Gunrunning: Nautica and Gunrunning: Aero. I finished the Nautica one first, complete with concept art.http://gtaforums.com/topic/892759-gta-gunrunning-nautica-dlc-concept/?fromsearch=1It was posted here on GTAF and within the day MrBossFTW featured it in a video. Then others followed suit. If you read the comments on the video, clearly people werent paying attention to the fact it was conceptual. Meanwhile, Smugglers Run turned out almost exactly like my unpublished Aero concept. Might have something to do with it, might be a coincidence. I know I'm not the first to suggest an Ocean DLC, but maybe it got more attention this time.

 

I also dont think it's "bullsh*t" just "cool sh*t". There were no hints for SR either, but I was right down to the Garisson caps. Gotta squeeze that sea sparrow in somewhere...

[DarkFlame588]

Any sea based update would definitely need to include a buffed tug....

I will CargoBob said Dinghy while inevitably defeating the purpose of boating in the first place.

Same thing ended up doing with IE. Was just more efficient at a certain point.

"Weaponized Vehicles"

 

So, GTAO in (mid/late) 2018?

[Iroquois]

Where the f*ck are people getting this Naval DLC bullsh*t from?

Simple. We had focus on motorbikes (motorbike DLC), focus on land vehicles (vehicle warehouse), focus on armored/equipped vehicles (gunrunning), and now aerial vehicles (smugglers run). What's left from the process of elimination? Boats. Isn't math fun?

[VVIP]

Nightlife DLC please! I'll even pay real $$ for that sh*t

[Xiled]

Nightlife DLC please! I'll even pay real $$ for that sh*t

If you want a nightlife dlc, rockstar already made one called GTA IV tbogt

Only to be taken down by few Sniper shots.

Nothing against diverse and free updates, etc.., but what is it exactly, that people want from "nightlife DLC"?

 

Dancing?

[Picklez]

Plus, look out for more to come to GTA Online later this year, including new Weaponized Vehicles and inventory updates at Legendary Motorsport, new properties coming on the market via Maze Bank Foreclosures and more

I see a nighlifeupdate as a possiblity for clubs, casinos, etc. That would make it possible for a lot of different ways to make money. Drugs, human trafficking, etc.

Really don't think human trafficking is a good idea, it's still a very real gross problem in the world that many people can relate to. I have a very very dark sense of humour don't get me wrong, but that isn't something that should be on GTA.

The only way casinos could work is if they don't include gambling, because there's a very serious issue with minors using shark cards to gamble. I don't think it will happen though, they would have done it already and also there's no good casino buildings. Too much work for them to add more casino buildings on the map. Its something they should have implemented in the very beginning, Los Venturas shouldn't have been left out.

[SlobbishBoozer]

But it's not as if people will be able to make real money out of the casino. If you use shark card money and win in the casino you'll only gain in online currency.
