The irony.

 

Yeah, I'm aware that the baffling decision to lock any profitable activity behind the cesspool that are Public sessions wasn't a dev one, but still, really ironic regardless.

boy I hope they fix the fact that I/E cars have no bulletproof tyres during sale missions, those blue sultans are very accurate

Nerf the Lazer? No....just no.

 

There's already a balance. Strong explosive rounds + cardboard armor. 

 

Seriously this community whines too much about some vehicles. If you seriously have troubles against a Lazer.....God, what's next? "Oh let's nerf xxx, it's too OP".

Yet you're also whining about the whining, so what that makes you?

 

The Lazer and Hydra's cannons also deserve a nerf and at this stage we'll probably get it, deal with it

They should also nerf the savage cannon's rate of fire and increase the one on the Hunter.

Honestly, as someone who used the Hunter exclusively back in the day, I have to say it, the explosive cannon is OP as hell.

 

I'm more than competent with using barrage missiles on it to kill players and vehicles on foot and even then, any time I put another player into the gunner seat, he/she always stole my kills with the cannon lmao, it's that good.

 

IMO, they should replace its explosive cannon with the one from the Valkyrie, which while it fires slower, it's more balanced by the fact that it's not an instakill on players on foot and vehicles without armor.

I’ve been thinking of how they can expand NC owner, the business is split into two parts (legit up top and consolidation downstairs). I think the hub runs well, perhaps they will create some new sell missions and fix that one where you need to airlift the delivery vehicle onto a barge … just remove the crane!

 

Maybe as a NC owner we can host parties across the city? Reuse some interiors to create a party environment (like special warehouses, even the casino penthouse). There is an upfront setup fee and two missions (resupply and drive the DJ to the venue), after X time the event is over and you get paid. Maybe even for the celebs that visit your NC?

 

Gunrunner could get an expansion where we source (or build) weaponized vehicles and then sell them like Import/Export. The bunker can be expanded with a new level to store these vehicles (good opportunity to build on all these businesses actually!).

 

Biker could operate a new business – FIGHT CLUB. Therefore, this update could be quite substantial depending on how far R* would expand these careers. If not, at least they can improve on the current activities for newer players so its less tedious.

 

Edit: maybe the IAA missions can be accessed via the Facility? But wait, I own the facility so I should be the IAA field commander right

I'm thinking for Bikers we could have something like the gang/drug wars from TLAD/TBOGT. Take out enemy bases/deals/clubhouses/hangout spots/whatever, loot it for drugs, vehicles(like, steal their bikes or a truck loaded with bikes or product), valuables (e.g. cash in a safe) and bring it back to your clubhouse. Pay depends on how much you looted and pay is split equally between all MC members, so 8 guys fully loaded get the same as one guy fully loaded. Several difficulties, harder pays more, but has more enemies with better weapons. Could either start them at the clubhouse or find them randomly.

Fight Club is a pipe dream. Especially if it's supposed to be PvP as well. Tennis already has an incredible host advantage, now try that with the sh*tty melee system.

[Nutduster]

Just in general, be aware that this game is unusual in that there are few guardrails, all in the name of "freedom." In fact, one of the things people gripe about, ironically, is that we aren't free ENOUGH to do whatever crazy thing (like using a fighter jet on a heist or whatever). Most content is either not level-locked at all, or just barely so, and you can pick your own weapon and vehicle for quite a lot of it, though occasionally the mission will give you one or the other (even then, you can often opt not to use what they give you).

 

Just know this, though: for ANY business mission, you want ready access to an armed, flying vehicle. A Buzzard is a great choice--not that expensive to buy, and you can spawn it right next to you if you're registered as a CEO. Use your car if you like, but be ready to call for this thing when you need it. They do also spawn for free at certain locations, but those ones will despawn if you get too far away from them, so owning one is the best bet. Later you can upgrade to a Kosatka and Sparrow (Sparrow is basically a better Buzzard), or an Oppressor Mk II, but many a grinder has put in hours and hours in the Buzzard, because it makes many of these headache-inducing missions a breeze.

 

That said... a LOT of the missions can be done just fine in a car. They just take longer. And once in a while you get hit with a "chase the flying thing" mission, just to enrage you. So get that Buzzard ASAP.

 

There are also a lot of missions that sound like they might require you to make multiple trips--buying 3 crates is one, but also a lot of the heist preps you do in free roam, and others. This was seemingly done on purpose to encourage cooperative play and org-ing up with other players, but eventually the devs relented and started making newer content easier to do solo. Just be mindful of it and if you find yourself usually playing alone, ask for tips here for business stuff you can do easily on your own. My suggestion is eventually ditch the crates and get a nightclub, because all the nightclub-related missions are easy to do solo AND they usually provide you a vehicle. The Kosatka will also be a great investment--the heist attached to it can be done solo at enormous profit, and the prep missions for it can also be done solo (though you will very much want to buy the Sparrow helicopter with the sub for ease of use).

I didn't whine, jokes on you. A complaint isn't "whinning". That was my first post on such a topic. I'm not here to start an argument with you. My point was that people whine about things cause they believe things are "too hard" and want an easy way for everything.

 

I'm on the side that believes vehicles should be left alone, and I'm not even a griefer. I enjoy things as they are. Learn to adapt.  

[Barrtek]

Maybe they adds a new Open Wheel car by the way, I would take it

How do you guys think they'll name this update? I think something similair to Los Santos Summer Special

I guess either Los Santos Summer Special Part II (they did the part 2 thing before) or Cops n' Crooks (or something in that scope, judging by them mentioning IAA missions with a screenshot).

 

I suppose it could also be called 'Quality Of Life', since this update seems to definitely be a filler update with lots of major QoL improvements. But that might be too on-the-nose.

LSSS is a very bland name when you get down to it, the A Superyacht Life logo didn't show up until a few weeks in the newswires after that update launched - and I bet if they had that logo on hand, they would have called LSSS that instead. I personally would call it something like Criminal Conspiracies, since that would cover both the Contact Missions storyline and that the more major part of the update is a huge overhaul of previous content, with focus on the 2016-18 Businesses... it's more to the point than "Further Adventures in Finance & Felony".

 

I'd love it if, given the expansion to the 2016-18 Businesses, they bring back Scarface for the updates artwork - but given this is more geared towards Career Builder players, they'll probably make new artwork of the Career Quartet.

I really hope for Cops N Croocks but they would have mentioned that in the community update

Good one, but hearing off the comunity update this DLC doesnt look big. Thats why i am thinking of an bland name. I hope this update is bigger then it sounds on the newswire

"The Syndicate"

Fits with the proposed expansion to some bussinesses, the conspiracy they teased and it works well with the last dlcs name "The Contract".

[Wscratch]

Free the customization for cars!!!

benny wheels on any car!

Any textures and any rgb for the cars!!!!!

anozided colors for rims!!!!

Let’s make a good autoshop!!!

Believe me, given who the media is blaming (for... some reason... I assume a 4Chan op) - let's just be grateful the entire gaming industry on an international level hasn't shut down today.

I would say that there's a change that they are seeing the shark cards sellings dropping because maybe the majority of players grinded enough money or just use money cheats. And now with GTA+ maybe it will become more profitable than Shark cards.

The thing is i wouldn't even care if at least the game mechanics were different, like you would do deals with other players, etc., and it could go good or wrong, you could do a honorable deal or set a trap and still the goods and keep the money and the way you would behave would have repercussions in your character and organization stats, but sure, it's a no-no because money exploits and because the game don't have those mechanics, but it would be a nice concept for a crime simulator game and i would hope for people not cry and bitch about it if the gains or losses weren't that heavy, but the way GTA Online is done where you are about to sell 1M dollars in profit but you get griefed by someone that will that 2k, snacks and armour, is indeed to be pissed about it.

Sounds good, they could implement your idea similar to the gang wars of TLAD and potentially use current gang attack sites as the locations. Maybe include rewards for how many times you've attacked a certain faction? Receive The Lost MC jacket after attacking them 25 times, unique livery for the Hexer after 30 times etc.

 

I always imagined getting a biker HQ, a warehouse with multiple levels. Top floor is your club house and then a garage. The others you can customize to your liking e.g. Fight club, biker chop shop, music venue with dance floor, gambling centre etc  where you can make passive money from or partake in the activities.

 

It all depends on how substantial these expanding are for the current criminal careers!

[CommanderBlack]

I searched and found this location

Spoiler

It is in the mile high club at the hight where the first elevator goes

 

I guess with the picture have we 2 things that comes in the update

-mr. Duggan (or only his guards)

- one or more missions at the mile high club

A big biker HQ/warehouse would be cool. Maybe to centralize all of the businesses? Like, all their stock gets delivered there and is loaded into trucks (like a Pounder Custom or something) for easier sells. And then, yeah, a blackjack table, poker, maybe other card games, chop shop to sell stolen bikes for quick cash, maybe working similar to the exotic exports with certain bikes being wanted each day, some being random spawns of non-traffic vehicles.

Okay, Rockstar, just give Bikers Part 2 pls.

 

(Btw, you can get Lost MC jackets from doing the Biker Contract in your Auto Shop)

One thing I'm thinking they might actually do is give us more special gun wraps like the ones for the AP Pistol and Heavy Rifle we got in The Contract. Just to throw in a small, realistic thing.

tbh, i'm really disappointed that we've waited 7 months for this update and it doesn't even seem to have a fully focused theme

I still don't believe it will be revolutionary changes...but could be cool if they expand the organizations up to 10, 15 members. Was always a bit unfair that MC's got 8 members and CEO's only 4. Then, rank system for CEO organization too. And maybe more challenges to each org. Would also be cool if they would incorporate the CEO's into the MC bussinesses, like you're CEO and can manage coke factory, weed, etc. But i don't believe in changes to the CEO offices and MC clubhouses.

Maybe after we take down this conspiracy and remove those fellas from the building, they can finish the building of MHC once and for all and present us with it in the xmas DLC!
