Essentially everyone cares about the score..but it eventually boils down to the experience of being disrespected and verbally abused by text message and playing against a suicidal clown. It's a slap in the face playing against someone who kills themselves and then has the audacity to say you suck ass because they reference a broken scoreboard.

 

I just don't think Rockstar can code well enough in this system to actually subtract a kill tally in some situations. The one on one deathmatch makes it work somehow...but I think it gets too complicated when tons of people are around. I just don't get it. I probably will leave it alone. I just like GTA to be GTA too often I play online and think to myself "What is this?" This is GTA? Okay... 

 

Anywho...hope everyone is enjoying their day.

I think the *broken scoreboard (amongst other things in freeroam) is a not too distant cousin of the lack of animal spawns in RDO.

The P2P system along with the increasing number of things to do in one session creates drawbacks.

 

PS I'd also remove the in-game text message feature. Very little good has came of that.

 

Edit: *broken - meaning, when it is truly broken i.e. you kill them once but it shows 7-2 to you or something

Maybe it's not broken..just misleading. I only play GTA. Do people commit suicide in other games to save face?

The only other game I play that has an open online world is RDO.

EWO ("Respawn") is a thing in that game, but its not really used I don't think, not to the extent of GTA.

Plus, blowing yourself up with dynamite is far too slow.

 

Aside from tonics and explosive ammo, RDO is a much more level playing field when it comes to PVP.

Ability cards make fights interesting, but not too OP.

Also works in stuff like Hardest Target. When that has a full lobby, you've got a whole lot of people in one little portion of the map.

I'm done with Station forever.

I wanted to be nice and help low levels get through it

But I just can't.....

 

I do all that work stealing the Casco and delivering it, just for one of those brain dead idiots to die on the f*cking Station team! HOW?!

I hate saying a tryhard saying but get good or don't play!

If you die on the station team you do not deserve to play the game

They bumped an officer while walking inside the station hence triggering wanted lvl and cops shoot them down. Classic rando stuff.

[hugh750]

today i had a raid at my weed farm, after i killed all the enemies i get a network error and i get dropped back to single player, i log back into gta online and i go to my weed farm only to discover all of my resources are gone.

i ended up re starting up my weed farm and exit only to get gunned down by a level 62 player then it was war!

by the end it was 8 - 2 (i was winning when i changed sessions).

That would look too clutered, so not really.

 

What should happen is for EWO/suicide to count against the score.

 

Let's put an example:

 

Player A and Player B have been duking it out, the current score is like this, respectively:

 

2-3

 

Let's say that Player B takes the EWO before being killed by Player A:

 

2-2

 

Now Player B respawns in an unfavorable position and blows himself up:

 

2-1

 

Player A managed to hit Player B with a bullet, but the latter survived and blows himself up:

 

3-0

 

The funny part is that this already happens in Deatmatches, Adversary Modes and even in One on One Deatmatches in Freemode, it's just a matter of putting whatever code makes it happen into regular Freemode or something like that.

 

Obviously, it may not be the perfect solution and as always, people will try to find ways to abuse it somehow, but it's a way better system than what we currently have.

 

Thoughts?

Your math is off. It should be 3-1. A "suicide" after taking damage from another player typically just counts as a kill, and not also a suicide. 

[PetrolCB]

Today's B&M:

 

Apparently you can't save any portion of the refuse collectors outfit. I purchased it and had made an outfit with the shirt/vest and a different pair of pants. Deleted when I signed back on. Lame.

You're right, my mistake! Thanks for the feedback! I'll correct my original post.

I always steal the Casco but I also always abandon the car near Videogeddon and let the other member deliver it.

Yeah ppl who die on the cop role are noobs, unfortunately it happens frequently

I won a resupply of meth off the wheel the other night. I had no intentions of selling this, because $140,000 worth a meth and the selling mission for it isn't worth $10 million to me. 

 

Get in a fight, need my MKII, go MC, and BOOM, defend your business. 

 

f*ck that sh*t. f*ck everything that has to be with bikers expect for being able to despawn your current car.

i had a simular thing happen to me late last night after i finally beat the diamond heist, i went back to the casino to try to spin the wheel (no luck i was too early but later i did win $50k on the wheel).

i left the casino and i heard and explosion a griefer killed another player then killed me (it was war) i called for my khanjali and killed him twice.

while i was killing him a 3rd time in my tank i got a message about one of my mc businesses being raided!

[GAUNTLET HELLFIRE]

Just completed the casino heist with one of my teamates being level 29 and I was pretty sure I would be coming here to complain anout him but our one failure was my fault. I couldn't lose the cops and then I died I didn't even deserve the bronze I got. I probably shouldn't play GTA after only getting 2 hours sleep I kept f*cking everything up. 

[Da Elite Ninjah]

So, i was flying around the map with the Oppressor MK2. I was collecting the action figures. 

Got a message about my business being raided. This was a first for me. Never had that before. So I flew to the attackers and used the lock-on rockets because i'm lazy. 

 

Got a message saying I did not return my goods. Meaning i blew them up? How was i supposed to know? F you.

Indeed. My definition of done is, when my team has completed all objectives. no restarts after that, no matter what. Does the other team also die like n00bs when you join the Station team? Armored vehicles won't do you any good on the Cargo Ship team (my favourite tactic is parachuting from the crane without a fight), but many newbies don't realize that. At least the cargo ship is relatively straightforward compared to the Station part. I have also seen the station team just stand at the apartment during the whole mission, completely clueless, even after I delivered the car in Sandy Shores. And then they managed to die from a traffic hit.

I did the exact same thing when I got last raided, and then shut down the business. (it was document forgery)

The raid was not at the business itself, but a farm on the other side of town.

Aww yeah, doing survivals. I"m on wave 9. Old school survival, so we got one more after this. Halfway done. I"m last alive but I got a groove. Got plenty of snacks. I"m in a great position. AI can barely even hit me in my cover when I"m full head up and firing, and all the minigunners are already dead. Gonna be good. Gonna retreat to a better location for the 10th wave and finish up slow but strong. Gonna make some good cash for th- Hey, why am I dead?

Oh yeah, it's because they deployed a terminator to instantly dump an entire MG mag into my head, killing me faster than I can even heal with snacks as soon as I poked my head up to shoot a guy.

For cash and meth, eventually docs too, you need to retrieve either a duffel bag(cash) kept by Vagos or some other urban gang or a truck(meth) kept by O'Neil guys and if you use explosive you may destroy the thing you're supposed to retrieve.

Did we all learn this the first time we got raided?

An old bitch and moan, but that old ass mission that Lester gives you where you have NO lives and you have to kill all the things at the top of the skyscraper under construction.

The only way up there is via helicopter or climbing the crane, and if you choose the former option, you'd have had to have bought a fogger or maverick back in the day, which aren't cheap, called for a MW pickup, which doesn't unlock at the same rank as the mission, IIRC which is really why this bothers me so much, or lucked out on a random helicopter spawn, which, again, iirc, on that mission is a very rare rarity indeed. So, as a sub 20 rank, your most realistic option, at first, would be to climb the crane, right?

WRONG BITCH. As soon as you get within rand of the AI up there, you have NO cover, sh*tty health and armor, and a long, slogging climb  up to the top. Assuming you even make it, you don't need a parachute to land on the top and collect the objective, but you then have a QRF chopper spawn in and the only way down is with a parachute, which you better have because it don't spawn on that skyscraper. Also, only one life.
 

This mission keeps me up at night.

I wonder if the command center f*cked things up. I also notice I always have a slither of stock left every time I log in even if I dont buy supplies and I never get money for that slither of stock either.
