That would make sense if things were level locked, which they aren't, not really. It would make even more sense if the wheel was readily available to players and not out of their way.

 

And let's not forget there is literally nothing. Worth unlocking bafter 130 or so, which is nothing really. Rp is useless.

None if your post makes sense. Some things are level locked, yes really. And newer players don't just join at rank 129 so RP might just be useful to them.

Limousine Service pick up at Paleto Bay, press X to 'Hurry'. Chauffuer drives into construction site, gets stuck in a small hole then jumps out of Limo and runs away. Awesome service, reminds me of the Taxi company, total waste of time.

Then I get signed out of PSN. Good job, Rockstar.

If you guys ever thought that adding the Turismo Classic, Infernus Classic and the Torero for the Sports Classic cars was a mistake because they are overpowered, wait until you see how fast the Retinue Mk2 is. 

 

And this week's premium race really shows it.

 

My fastest lap time as of yet is of 0'56"980...If you have any idea how fast this is, it's on the same pace of the f*cking ITALI GTO before the nerf on it's advanced handling flags.(because now its faster on the track)

 

The Retinue Mk2 leaves everything else in the class eating dust and its not even funny.

If I remember correctly, things were locked but are now behind a trade price. Weapons, yeah I forgot, and I guess that's because you can be equivalents right off the plane. And reaching level 120 is f*cking easy, RP is useless to anyone after a month or so of playing, maybe even less.

But not so for that first month. So RP is still useful to new players. Smh.

You're completely missing the point. Rp on the casino is worthless. It's like saying double RP and GTA bucks on the tutorial mission is useful.

No mate, you're missing the point and I'm beginning to wonder about your powers of logic. What the hell are you talking about? You know there are new players joining everyday right? To them, RP and even GTA$ are useful. Jeeeez what game have you been playing?

I never said GTA bucks were useless, I only said RP is.

This one sadly, and not even once did I ever think rp was useful.

I know you don't understand sh*t. Offering something as "useful" as RP on something that's out of the way and only convenient to someone that lives in the casino is worthless because

 

1. Someone that lives in the casino spent a good amount of money to live there and rp is out of their mind because they're a casual that bought their way in, or is a grinder

 

2. New players are being assed out of their own way to go to the casino to win big, like a car or cash. Winning RP or a hat is a slap in the face.

 

3. You're only below 130 one time per character, and getting to 130 is so f*cking easy it's not even funny. 

 

I've never seen anyone happy to win 5000 RP, and maybe that's because RP doesn't really do sh*t. I really hope that clears everything up because this convo is very boring.

They could just be encouraged to actually play missions/modes for it if it was removed from that wheel though.

 

That said, AFK/do nothing and gain something is the modern trend, lol.

I got taken out today by an enemy glitched inside something. Was nowhere to be seen. I only heard gunshots and his insults. Something’s wrong with this mission.

You have bad luck.  Calling the limo service and causing mayhem is one of my go-tos when I get bored.  That driver has balls of utter steel and has never left the car for me, even when police helicopters and the military are shooting at it.  Then he comes back to get me with 1 tire and bulletholes everywhere after I've died 4 times.

[Arrows to Athens]

Why the f*ck is there slipstream in premium races? I thought it was supposed to be fair and more professional? If I’m in the lead and am 6-7 seconds ahead of 2nd and 3rd place, why should they be able to slingshot each other and catch up to me within 20-30 seconds as a result?

 

This is absolutely ridiculous. Who even approved of this? Gotta cater to the kiddies, I guess. Look at me, hot wheeeeeelzzzz, lighting speeeeeeeeeeeeed! It’s like the devs’ children influence their decisions.

Of course they made the trash 2-player contact missions 2x but not the others. Like just make all contact mission 2x payout ffs

[Arrows to Athens]

So far, everyone who I battled with today gave up and resorted to their pesky broomstick. This is what this vehicle has practically become now: a last resort vehicle. After 6 or 7 deaths on ground, they eventually give up and hop on their broomstick. Low levels usually do this.

This conversation was as useless as RP on the wheel.

oh a series of story missions that require 4 players to even launch but won't give you the option to host it yourself so you have to play a game of chance every time you enter the corona. Can't see that going wrong at all...

If you've done them before, you can just start them like you do with normal contact missions.

I really hate those people who buddy up in races to ensure that only they get the top spots. You people are as bad as the morons that go backwards around the track. to you if you do this.

Cargobob mission for Import Export, as everyone else under the sun has already said. Specifically the one where you've got to get the Cargobob from Humane Labs because when you get to the car there aren't any little islands to land on to snipe the enemies like there are with the other I/E Cargobob missions.

The fact you can't have an active Personal Vehicle and Personal Aircraft at the same time.

I learned something the other day, specifically for this mission.  I forget where I read it, probably on this forum somewhere...

 

Hint: Don't get the cargobob first.  Instead, even tho the barge location isn't shown on the map, it will be in its usual place for whichever version of the mission you received.  Go to the barge that has your car on it, and kill all the enemies.  The best part is, you can use the Mk II Oppressor missiles, because the car WON'T take any damage from the missiles.   Once you've killed all the men on the barge and tugboat, then go back to the cargobob and fight those guys to obtain the heli...  obviously you can pick up the car off the barge without a fight now.  However, the enemy will still spawn the helicopters for your trip back to your vehicle warehouse.  I just ignored them, and I did fine even tho the barge location was almost in Paleto Bay and my Vehicle Warehouse is about as far away as possible down near the docks of Los Santos.  I just let the choppers shoot at me the whole way.  Its possible they do shoot up the car because I did end up with a larger repair bill than normal from this mission.  I still intent to skip this mission when it comes up occasionally, I just switch sessions immediately to cancel it.  But this tip might come in handy.

 

tl;dr:  Don't get the cargobob first - instead go to the barge and kill the enemies, then go back and get the cargobob.

Newer players really aren't going to benefit much from the RP that is on the wheel. New players can make far more RP in a session playing the contact missions, adversary modes, races, etc than they ever would on the wheel. Players can make more RP doing activities like just flying or driving with other players. The wheel is not very efficient to new players in gaining RP. It would be better to have the RP on the wheel replaced with something that would be more beneficial.

Beneficial to who? Everyone over rank 130? Everyone except newer players? Wow, the selfishness in this place. Almost every job in this game has RP attached to it. Why wouldn't a casino wheel have RP on it? The biggest RP win on the wheel is 15,000, that's a pretty huge amount of RP for one spin of the wheel and don't forget if new players are doing jobs/races for RP, they need to actually win or come close to the top to maximise the amount of RP they get, assuming they don't get kicked from the job.

 

Also, some players actually enjoy just ranking up for the sake of it for that 'milestone' moment. I'm not sure why some people are so against RP being on the wheel, it is a fundamental part of the game, always has been.

 

But hey, if it bothers some of you that much start a petition and get R* to remove it

 

Anyways, B&M

 

Why can we not have the Radio on outside and out of vehicles? It would be simple enough to do, just introduce headphones. Instead we get that fu*king awful 'mission music'.

Why are you such a hardcore advocate for new players in regards to the RP on the wheel? What if I said the clothes on the wheel is pointless as well? Are you going to advocate that new players need the clothing? No one on this forum, in response to my original remarks, has said anything against new players or is trying to make things harder for them. If anything, we have shown how new players benefit more from playing the other aspects of the game than using the wheel. My remarks are in regards to how I think Rockstar could better utilize the wheel spin FOR EVERYONE...that includes new players. Even new players are going to get to a point in which the RP is nothing more than a status symbol that really, not a lot of people care about. Once someone hits 120 and unlocks the Gatling gun, the RP doesn't do anything else in the game. 

 

If new players really wanted to level up, they wouldn't bother with the wheel spin. Even if they did happen to win the 15,000 that's only once a day and really what are the odds of them landing on it often? A player can easily make that much starting contact jobs by themselves without any other players joining them.

 

We're talking about a feature that is open to everyone, new players and veterans alike, a feature that is like most in this game, is under utilized. For the over all population of the game, RP is useless after level 120 and frankly Rockstar should have just put a level cap (my guess is they didn't as they expected to use higher levels for more unlocks or something and then everything shifted to the pay wall stuff). One wheel spin in 24 hours doesn't really help either. I think 1 spin every 12 hours would have been more beneficial to the player base.

I'm more concerned with the bias that 'ranked-up' players show regarding 'Their' game. We were all 'noobs' once. Some players seem to forget that.

That's not even the same argument, so no.
