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?

From what I could see personally, no. While I was playing on PC, i found one of the "R* Admins", i don't know if it's allowed to share SC names but i won't, he was in my lobby and was using the black R* Dev T-shirt, wasn't a modder, I'm sure of it because I could access his SC profile and it was matching 100% correctly with his name.

 

This specific "admin" like to use the unicorn mask + black dev t-shirt.

 

He didn't say anything in the chat, he was just stopped then left afterwards. Maybe he was looking for modders?

 

Some friends also report they generally are alone in sessions, funnily, Tez mentioned they like to use the solo lobby glitch? Makes sense, most of time these "admins" are alone in lobbies, when they join a public lobby, they doesn't seem to do anything.

That's an official Rockstar crew. Not made by script kids.

 

Ever since day one, the game was designed so that any crew tag that contains "RSG" has a Rockstar Logo as well. But that's prohibited from use by regular players.

 

To answer your question, the devs I talk about use regular accounts outside of dev time.

 

However, on PC, cheaters keep a list of Rockstar admins/devs who tracks cheaters within their dev time and attempt to ban them in real time. Just a few days ago, a friend caught two admins using Take-Two Interactive VPN from Rockstar India in a session. Those admins monitor sessions where a huge amount of sus alerts are sent to Rockstar via in-game telemetry. That's when they join the session to investigate and ban the cheaters. If you try to chase and mess with one of them, your ban is basically guaranteed. Thus, the purpose of the list is to basically dip whenever one of them join your session.

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.

Yep, remove the explosive rounds from all vehicles and just give them long range, high damage rounds. 
For the tanks give them canister shells (tank shotgun).

They (devs) can also make accounts at will so I'm pretty sure to this day all of these lists are incomplete (and probably why they're big), and one of the only ways modders will know it's a R* dev looking for cheaters/getting modded on purpose to get logs and debug it, is by their IP address being one of R*'s studios. Modders'll never catch them *all*, unlike Pokemon.

I hope they add more HSW cars this time round and don't just forget about it and move onto something else (*cough cough* Benny's until LSSS came around) 

 

Also, I hope they give HSW upgrades to cars that actually need them in the first place... a lot of the HSW cars we've got were wasted potential IMO, some of them were within the top 5 fastest cars within their class, with some of them already being the fastest in their class. I just wish that slower cars got them instead so people would actually use them, meaning a more diverse collection of cars being driven because more are now competitive (Penumbra, Blista Compact, Taipan, Tyrant, Prairie, Kuruma, basically any car released before 2018...)

Tanks deserve the explosive shells plus the cannon on the Savage is what is making the thing stand out, replacing that with a generic machine gun ? Meh.

 

I can use canister shot, Savage spamming shotgun on the ground that's good.

When presented with a GPS route similar to this:

99% of GTAO population will follow it exactly instead of going straight and taking one turn.

Could just be a bullsh*t theory but maybe some more Italian cars are coming since we’re getting the LPI 800-4

Nah, their vehicle selection usually follows almost no pattern in regards to country of origin.

[CUTS3R]

Whatever they add though i just hope they arn't all or in majority Supers.

Yeah and sometimes R* likes to add filler vehicles that no one cares about from time to time.

Hey man, just because you didn't like the Ruston doesn't mean nobody cares about it.

 

 

I bought that terrible car when it came out, and before I sold it I drove it off Mt Chilliad with a friend of mine and watched it get demolished before I took it to the LSC to sell.

What? How did you know this?

 

Here is actual video footage of them doing it on their Rockstar Livestream. I have timestamped it for you as well:

 

 

47:16 is the timestamp where everyone coincidentally leaves the session when they're doing a sale.

 

This is one of three clips where they intentionally tried to lobby-split, but the other two (that includes them selling in an invite-only session) are not archived on their YouTube channel. Wonder why.

 

 

 

I am also obligated to link you the legendary stream with Danny Brown (also timestamped) where modders were interfering with the stream.

 

 

Then a little later (26:35) they're Bugstars, but they spawn in as if they're doing Gruppe Sechs approach and the streaming team are trying to save it. Hallelujah for game glitches!

40:50 is also a legendary timestamp, with wise words from Danny.

This was the last time Rockstar Games did a livestream, by the way. This was two years ago. Rockstar knows how messed up their game is, from both griefers and modders.

In case you're curious, Danny Brown is the voice character of Yung Ancestor in the Diamond Casino Heist.

You know what else would be great? The addition of the Railgun, a permanent one

 

We finally got the Stun Gun after nearly 10 years of waiting. Would be nice getting this too, sure would be handy for dealing with MK II kiddies

[Ser_Salty]

One thing that I haven't seen people talk about is that selling in Invite Only sessions could actually revive the community aspect of the game again, since Crew Sessions aren't completely worthless now. Larger communities, like from YouTubers, streamers etc. or just the grinding crews that formed over the years can now just use Crew Sessions to only play with people from their community while still being able to do everything you can in a public lobby.

[MaddenedGhost]

I don't understand why they stream on PC, nothing against PC users (I play on PC every now and then) but y'all know what a mess it is.

 

If I was organizing something like this I'd absolutely do it on console where it's a little less risky, at least the garbage people can do on console is nowhere near what modders can do on PC, and that clip is an example of that.

I have used one in a public lobby against a player before ( that one dude with his jet and invisible ankles had it coming)

I think it is still a little too broken to be permanent, they'd have to nerf it.

full loadout and mid playthrough switch to gruppes sechs lol

 

also, railgun is OP in that it basically explodes anything normal in one shot without having to readjust for scoped view, and provided you CAN hit A TARGET KABOOM!

Real crazy in adv modes lol esp drop zone where you end up in a pinch

As a seasoned Heli Hure i can say i have no problems if the savage cannon loses it´s explosive part. In turn, the bullets should have insurgent mg damage (2 shot kill on a max health player), buff range of that gun and then buff the handling a little bit. This alone is strong af, since unlike other heli guns like buzzard, the machinegun is centered and shoots exactly where the reticle goes.

[MaddenedGhost]

No please.. the savage is awesome as it is... thing has barely stopped being a joke after the armor buff from like two years ago, don't ruin it.

The Annihilator should be the one with the ultra powerful machine guns, not the Savage.

yeah and there are even aspects of doomsday which isn´t really known.

like how the IAA facility during the first act finale (and the Tuners contract)

and the server farm are actually connected via the elevator.

even a portal.

probably was just taken from the Trevor SP DLC without changes and maybe in that one you just went down the elevator without loading screen.

The Annihilator already has powerful machine guns. The problem of the Annihilator is piss poor handling coupled with armor made of broken condoms and as a cherry on top of the sh*t pile not centered guns.

Powerful enough to make NPCs fall on the ground, only to get up again.

 

They have Buzzard level of damage which is insanely weak, the turret on the Technical now that's good damage.

 

I still prefer that to the buzzard, easier to aim those machine guns.

[AUScowboy]

Okay. Massive props to R* for finally allowing business sell missions in invite only, that’s pretty big… now they just need to unf*ck the vehicle handling messiness and the game will be 10/10 again for me.
