The B*tch & Moan Thread (Part 3)

[Alpha 1122]

About the private lobby sell missions: I do wonder this: Will there be certain bad sides of doing a delivery sell mission in a private lobby? Ofc one bad side is you don't get a player bonus for doing in a full lobby. But I do wonder if there will be even more bad sides bc otherwise ppl might do only sell missions in private lobbies only? One bad thing that can happen is that I speculate is, increased payouts are only available in public lobbies and normal ones (which we have now) for payouts is only available in private lobby? What do u guys think?

They should get fast firing machine guns with good damage, good for dogfighting, not so much for anything else. The cannons they have now are way too strong, even on the B11 they would be too strong. B11 needs a Rate of Fire increase to its cannon, and the cannons on the Lazer and Hydra should be banished and never brought back.

Sup! I'm a huge fan! I used to watch your videos a lot when I was broke and still looking for "self-defense vehicles". XD The rogue was the most regrettable purchase since it has a weird handling. Might sell it for the Nokota later.

As for the B11, it could slap at most slow-moving and stationary vehicles, but it's useless for pursuits since it has slow missiles (which it shouldn't have in the first place) and slow cannon ROF.

I remember watching a Rockstar official stream with a Dev, and when a dude in a Hydra was about to blow the Devs sale, suddenly the session "split".

 

And I was like.

Yeah. That's the admin tools available to the developers. Which ended up being abused by cheaters, but has since been patched. The Finger of God script event. One of the features is that it allows the admins to pull in any players they want from any session.

 

If you watch from the perspective of a community member who wants to join their community livestream, you could probably see that in action.

i wonder if they were to ever do any streams in the future (i doubt it will happen), what tools they would use to *protect* themselves from any shenanigans 

[Retro_Causality]

now that i think about it

 

wasn't one of the story dlc's supposed to be Agent Trevor working for the IAA 

 

wonder if this is the recycling of that?

[DrEeveell]

Damnit. I get a daily objective to sell hanger cargo. Which I just did yesterday, so my hanger's empty.

So I get a mission, Find crashed maverick on [Mt. Gordo]. Which is super easy if you have an OPMkII. So I did that, then went to sell the 1 single crate I have.

And I get the flingin' flangin' Havoks mission and have to make 6 flingin' flangin' drops for 1 flingin' flangin' crate! Including the one that is in the basement of the building under construction so you have to fly down the elevator shaft for 5 flingin' flangin' stories. That was my last drop for that copter, so I just left it down there. Hell if I'm flying it back out and back to my hanger.

At least I managed to land it w/o getting thrown into the blender.

Can you provide a link for that? 

[MaddenedGhost]

That talk about nerfing vehicles...

 

It would make me sad to see the explosive cannons of the Hydra and the Lazer be nerfed or removed... but I can understand it, they are way to strong.

[Insoluble Fiber]

i would be ok if there is no new property but they add new customization or new interior spaces e.g more garage spaces to the businesses that will be getting expansions.

Ah I see, do you know if they regularly play the game?

Aside from the dev time, just them playing on their own.

It'll be sad if they nerf it, I love it's missiles. So much fun to blast those pesky NPCs that spawn and chase you haha

Anyone else remember that Twitch stream several years ago where we saw them do that due to them getting griefed? That was hilarious

[MaddenedGhost]

The only thing I remember them doing is switching to an invite only lobby and do CEO work after their cargo got destroyed in a public lobby.

Speaking of Rockstar livestreams I wish they would start doing them again. I was watching the Danny Brown casino heist one recently and it was hilarious. Maybe they'll suddenly go back to doing them when GTA VI comes out who knows.

I do! That was a blast. But didn't they just give up on Public Sessions and just made an invite Only for them (blaming it on a session crash in the progress)?

Yes. Especially after a new update drops.

 

Not all developers have the power to suddenly issue out decisions to balance the game or something like that. Also, if you get a dev to say notice a glitch, he may give a heads-up to the other devs. But he won't be like "Say less, my G" and single-handedly address the glitch himself. The process of fixing a bug is similar to reporting a security vulnerability on HackerOne. Some may be addressed quickly, but most involve a back and forth between the reporter and the developers. Except in this case, the dev manging Rockstar's own program reports everything you say to the other devs on their in-house platform, Bugstar. The back and forth on Rockstar's platform would be between the programmers and QA. Or could involve a third-party like Sony or Microsoft. The process involve multiple devs and not just a single dev. If any programmer comes up with a fix for a glitch, QA devs have to test it out and there are different roles of QA. You may have the live QA testing whether the fix itself works. Then there's another QA dev whos job is to ensure whatever you fixed is in compliance with Sony/Microsoft policies.

Why do you have to be registered as a CEO in order to do Baker's casino work missions? I've NEVER understood this. 

 

 

I always thought the same. Then tonight I saw my wife start one while an MC pres. I tried it myself later and it worked.

[GOKI JET]

What I am definitely looking forward to in this update is an owned/customizable police car.
I was very sad when I learned that the CnC update was cancelled. But hopefully this update will cure that sadness.

If you own a Nightclub, selling cargo from there also counts towards that objective.

Just out of curiosity, are they all in that special crew with the Rockstar Logo and Text as crew tag or is that one fake and made by scriptkids?

New research stuff for the bunker perhaps? A couple of new weapon livs would be cool

Before they close the book on GTA online, I want to see all the rest of the weapons get an MKll upgrade. they abandoned it forever ago but it was so cool to be able to have all those customization options on the few guns that they offered.
