Even easier method if you're on a wired connection. Just unplug your ethernet cable for a couple seconds so that it switches you to your wifi, then plug it back in when the lobby has lagged out. Very useful when you're being spawned killed over and over by a modder.

R* didn't like too much that method bcz a lot of people would use that to farm the old heists in order to bypass the prep missions. They would unplug at the right moment (sometimes they could miss, but usually don't) and then you would still receive the money from the heist and after you would have the finale ready. Idk if R* ever made some changes on that regard, but i think they patch that at some extent, i can be wrong.

They patched it with the newest gen.  I know that for sure because bogdon doesn’t work anymore

Not sure if it still works for those particular situations but it still works for lagging into a solo public lobby.

Of course the info drops while I'm asleep and I have to scroll through 10 pages of replies 

 

Honestly, very disappointed with this update based on what they've told us. There's no real excuse for a small DLC this time round, unless they were working on a "Russia is great!" DLC or something. They've had time to make a proper size update AND they've abandoned RDRO, last year they gave a big GTA update ALONGSIDE a RDR update. 

 

Rockstar is the laziest game company I swear...

Yeah waiting for months for a “Small” dlc is truly something isn’t it?

On PC is easy. Manager tab » network » gta v » put it in suspension for 10 seconds and that's it.

Use Guardian GTA. Its a small program that fiddles with your pc's firewall and prevents others from joining including friends. And because it doesn't touch the game, rockstar can't ban you either.

Well...that can be a way to R* makes us used to the end of gta online updates at some point...still, i think it's not that near the end, since they wouldn't be so worried into port the game to a new gen consoles and not take profit from it. We can also see it was a DLC to "clean the house and turn off the lights" for old gen consoles, that not getting the xmas dlc is a possibility. So, in this way, give a proper QoL improvements to two consoles generations PS/Xbox, that will make them get a less toxic enviroment with tryhards, like a consolation prize for those two platforms that maybe are seeing their last DLC.

Clearly R* shifting their focus for GTA6 hopefully it’s coming sooner than later ( 2024 at the earliest)

Watch rockstar half ass the mk2 nerf. My prediction will be that it stays the piece of sh*t number 1 every one pulls out of his ass. Meh.

It will be still the go to for a long while to come. If it is nerfed to the point that at the very least planes and helicopters have a hope in hell of dealing with it without having to spam the very, very limited amount of chaff (if Heli/Plane even allows the use of it) and spinning in circles at high speed let alone having to do a boom and zoom and pray to some unknown godlike being that a cannon shot or missile even gazed the motherf*cking witch on their broom. Then it's an improvement. It's not a great improvement but the bar is so damn low that even that is an improvement. The mere fact that none of the missiles in this game at this point that isn't on a MKI Broomstick or a Plane have a actual G-Limit to speak of and just track endlessly until burn out of the motor is about 50% of the actual problem.  Even the recent AIM-9X while yes having a possibly 50G limit, can't track that well on the ass end of a plane, if it's that close and any attempt to outturn it will likely succeed, hence why they are designed to explode by PROXY to the aircraft. If that sounds like it'd be OP in GTAV yes, because you can not out turn the missile like you can IRL if given enough time to react. Your options are Flares (Which doesn't even work against MKIIs or many other spam missile haulers), Chaff which has to be applied before the lock on and only gives about 5 to 10 seconds free of the dreaded alert tone. or fly in circles for all time and hope it doesn't hit you. 


Really that's part of why the nerf will be a very minor meh improvement. It fails to correct the actual key issue with the MKII....the MKII itself existing. It's too small to hit easily, half the time even seeing the f*cking thing in a Jet and even a Heli at times is insanely difficult given at max draw distance it is literally a small spec about maybe 2 pixels wide. Watching one fly around on the ground always shows signs of laggy desync even in an lag free Invite Only lobby. The damned thing quite literally due to how the missiles even work in this game as a hyper b*starded  IR/Active Radar hybrid of ever QAAM spammers wet dreams in Ace Combat, alongside the fact the very concept of how it works outright makes the already tanky and chucky movement and aiming system on foot (which was outright perfect and worked far better in Max Payne 3 ffs) work against the non-MKII player even harder than usual when fighting a speedy enemy. Helicopters half the time die to the MKII not because missile dodging is next to impossible for some of the Helis but because half the time your flying a Heli your fighting with the overly aggressive auto-centering of the camera which makes it very hard to keep an eyeball on the target your trying to shoot/avoid.

Long story and rant short. Thing never should have existed to start with, but at this point a half ass'd nerf is better than what we have now so I'll take my victory lap where I can.

Also Invite Only Sales R*? You mean the thing y'all have been pretty much doing since the Jet Griefers field day that was the E&E stream which was the last time y'all bothered to use a public lobby that I'm aware of? Thanks I guess took far to long to do so.

Whilst I’m getting LSSS vibes with a smaller filler update with decent QoL additions, it will be depend on the extent that the four criminal careers will be expanded upon. Something smaller like reworked source/sell missions, new variations but using the same end points or removing the tedious ones altogether.

 

Otherwise it could be larger like adding a new biker business, new CEO missions though not sure about how NC owner could be expanded? Maybe a new biker HQ that some have wanted or the ability to buy CEO garages in another building (other than where your CEO office is located)? Time will tell!

 

Regardless, seems like the rebalancing update we all needed for freemode missions and activities (would have been welcomed before 2020). Seems like something you would do before ending support for last gen (though no evidence to say that would happen this year). Will keep an open mind and hope for more awesome cars!

It’s weird to me how they keep mentioning they’re working on the next GTA but they haven’t even dropped a teaser trailer or anything. Surely they can get an initial trailer out now.

[Pol The Agent]

If they don't let us minimum purchase the unmarked vehicles i'm gonna be disappointed.

And considering this might be an IAA Themed DLC, we could probably expect Agent 14's return.

[VitoCorleone1992]

We're getting the new Countach and still no Aventador.

 

But i guess that they could take the opportunity and pay a homage to Ray Liotta, since the countach - Infernus - was one of the signature cars of Tommy Vercetti in GTA Vice City. So, what about: Pegassi Liotta?

Edit: imagine that i get it right. I will deserve a cookie.

Imagine this DLC dropping to CG only.

I like the new Torero. 

[CommanderBlack]

I agree that it is weird that Rockstar wrote again that they are working on the next gta and even under the red dead online picture.

 

But the text for red dead online really said this time that rockstar don't cares for the game, rockstar games was really like: you all want a big update in red dead online? Screw you all get some telegram missions

You guys should not take hasty conclusions...it's yet a bit soon to start show everything about the dlc theme per say. This newswire was more to mention the changes in terms of QoL.

They literally said what the story for the DLC is though  We'll surely get more info next week tho.

Fun-fact; They've only mentioned it twice (IIRC), both times in the face of negative news.

 

Instance one; Peak #SaveRDO & the disaster that was GTA Definitive Trilogy.

Instance two; RDO officially not getting any more updates.

Thinking about it, and with last year's easter egg, what if it actually ties to a Clifford type deal DLC?

Nope, easiest & fastest way is to use lil' program called Quitter, he is doing your network drop for you - quick press on your key-combo in the middle of your job (if you see asshat zooming on you) and in second everyone is dropped from 'your session' while you are still driving to your destination like a boss . Also helps when modder is crashing public session, or teleporting people to communal death cages, or you got stuck in forever clouds waiting for peer-to-peer gods to look upon your and let you in session where some other asshat is lagging everyone... Also with another key-combo you drop yourself from online game, and that was the way I was getting Phantom Wedge for bunker sell, or all of my Casino Lucky Wheel cars...

Long live Quitter, main reason I stayed with GTAO in my early days

It will be named as Torero 2 or Torero Modern/GTS

But that method still lets others join, meaning you have to repeat the process after awhile. This just takes that step out. But to each their own.

A lot of this could work well, imagine doing a single big truck delivery and at the drop a bunch... like 100 or so enemies spawn and you have to kill them all or when the player dies, they shoot the truck/plane/helicopter/boat... should the npcs blow up said vehicle, the selling mission is considered failed and you have to redo it.
