The B*tch & Moan Thread (Part 3)

[NULL AND VOID]

Honestly..  WTF is with people in Pac Standard heist acting like complete and utter RAAAAAA ASSSHOLESS!?!

 

It's Another fairly simple and straight forward heist finale that veterans and noobs alike want to complicate theee sh*t outta! You rob the bank, rush out and down the alley way, grab the bikes and ten! 10 minutes later everyone should be getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 

You got host tripping balls if they lose 100 grand in this sh*t.. It's freakin PEANUTS daaamn. This is about to be crossed off the list of missions I just won't do with randoms. And I'll do basically anything to help someone else advance their career..

 

Just. Run. The. f*ck. King. Mission. Stop. The. Tricks. (Bitch)

Am I the only one or anyone else having massive network connection errors plus incredible unstable servers recently?

Like seriously, I couldnt play for 1h now because stupid network errors. Find New Session leads to the same session, after 4 minutes I will get unknown network connection error, I load alone in the session, .......

 

It's the weekend before DLC, this always happens, either in reality or psychosomatically. It did feel sh*ttier than usual yesterday.

True, but I rarely see people with level 1 keycards, most of them have level 2 or skipped them altogether "because it was optional".

Edit: the best time to leave, is when someone starts hacking a keypad outside the casino.

Update's out in a couple of days, and ...so help me, I'll probably watch people livestream it, and actually take part in the hype cycle once more.

 

Why is that a B&M? Because what was supposed to be a nice, busy November/December, full of cool new stuff in other games, has turned out to be so f***ing lacklustre, that ...screw it, I've really got nothing else better to do than see what underwhelming tosh gets added to the formless mess that is GTAO.   It's either that or watch some paint dry, I suppose...

At least you can watch paint dry without getting a disconnect.

I’ve posted here just recently. And I’m going to complain again. I might be done with this game for good. I’m so f*cking tired of Oppressor mkIIs. I’m so f*cking sick of them. I can’t do sh*t in free mode any more without some asshat flying up on me for no other reason than to ruin my sh*t. 4 times in the last hour I’ve dealt with them. I was in a 3 player public lobby and decided to sell my NC stock. The others were well away doing their own thing. I get to the rendezvous point to meet the helicopter, I’m following it and all of a sudden I’m getting shot at, no, f*cking bombarded with missiles from one mkII who is off the f*cking radar. Why?!? What does it do?! We all want the same thing in this game, money. So why are other players so hellbent on f*cking it up for us?!
The mkIIs really messed up free mode. It’s never been as fun. 
seiously. My fav game ever and I’m contemplating not playing it because of this bullsh*t.

Cuz that precious kd my friends,  this is why I’m mostly in private lobbies.  It’s not like you can meet new people in free roam anymore due to the only mic users are players blaring some sh*t music through the mic or complete asshat kids throwing every kind of racial slur they think is cool at the moment.

Well, I'll be watching Broughy's stream (and alt-tabbing in and out to do actual productive stuff), so it's at least entertaining to see him snark about the latest price hike or paywall. Stuff like the first 40-ish seconds of this recap video (the bit where he's reacting to the prices) is always good for a giggle:

 

youtu.be/kQ2Y2w5nmrQ

 

And to be fair, it's not GTAO's fault that the RDO update is weaksauce, and a bunch of other things have fallen through. I don't have high hopes that I'll get much out of the new update, but I never did - it's more I'm left wanting by everything else gaming-wise at the moment.

Sometimes I think how much better this game could be if the community wasn't so damn toxic towards one another. It's a dream that will never happen, but it's kind of fun to think about.

It really confuses my why so many players love f*cking others over, and I think the issue is FAR bigger than just K/D.

And it is Rockstar's fault too. The issue is that this game actively promotes griefing other players. ($2000 reward, plus some ammo and RP) And players will always take it a step further.

Back in the old days, you would get bad sport for griefing (which mainly consisted of blowing up other players' cars back then), but Rockstar realized that griefing sells shark cards, so now they promote it.

In my opinion, it's all about griefing, not necessarily K/D. Some tryhards and griefers with high K/D claim they don't actually care about their K/D, just about the griefing. Maybe true.

Your right it’s more than kd “a stat that should’ve been left in certain modes only” , it’s the boredom and lack of lobbies to do certain activities, business being locked to public lobbies.

THIS! Putting every single activity any player is doing onto public radar is the biggest f*ck You to every player out there. 3 f*cking seconds before the public knows your business affairs? Are you kidding me?

There absolutely needs to be more free mode activities and things to do. We really do need a Free Mode 2.0 update with activities as the main focus.

This 100%.  Either playing with a few friends or alone there’s literally nothing to do aside from heists/grinding business,  random events rarely spawn if at all and 0% if your alone.  For me at least it’s more something to do over how much $$ it pays.  Sad thing is if R* gave us just a few hours this forum could come up with ideas that would keep players busy w/ new things to do for months.   

[Raynos]

Meh, wouldn’t matter even if there were more activities, you’d get the usual asshat complaints “oh it only pays $20K for 10mins, what’s the point etc etc etc” 

I’ve logged so many hours in this game and most of it is doing sh*t I like and not entirely focused on money making.

 

These griefers just get a kick out of f*cking with people, had this twat kill me 4 times and I was like wtf, I’m losing my touch, only to discover he was i. God mode, another stupid glitch, God mode + MK2, what a c*nt f*ck!  P.S. I was just test driving my new car

[DuhBritishTea]

I paid ~$6 million for an arcade just to have a large dumpster in front of the entrance. I'm shocked we haven't gotten any complaints about it and still make money kekw 

[EkaSwede]

I'm just going to hop in to say that Police and Enemy Helicopters are absolute Anti-Fun things int he whole game. f*ck these things and f*ck anyoen who give whoever is shooting from the sky high accuracy. f*cking cancer copters.

 

doesn't stop it from being satisfying to shoot the tail rotor off with  a well placed Revolver shot, but f*ck off with the gunenrs hitting me while the heli's spinning around.

 

Also, f*ck AI blindfire. They get to shoot laser beams with 80% accuracy but when we blindfire it's 10% accuracy at best?

If you have an Opressor Mk2 you can go drown yourself. It's the cancer that killed this game.

I remember as each new update came out there was always one vehicle that garnered the "RIP Freeroam" calls - Ruiner 2K, Vigilante, etc. Thing is, it never was. Oh, the Deluxo & OP Mk 1 came close, but the community adapted & we went on.

 

The OP Mk II, tho - even the truest of fanboys has to admit that vehicle changed everything, and indeed put a very large final dagger into Free Roam. A full-blown, hyper-OP easy mode griefmobile added to the game for the sole purpose of driving shark card sales.

 

It's kind of genius, really - add a vehicle purpose-built to shut down product sales and limit player earnings, put said vehicle behind a massive paywall that players will feel compelled to pay for to remain "competitive" (whatever the f*ck that means in public freeroam)... yeah, I can imagine how easy it was for many players to turn to shark cards. 

 

But the worst part? Worse than any of R*'s shenanigans?

 

Us. The playerbase.

 

Rockstar counted on us being ferociously and maliciously toxic-as-fuuuuuck to each other, and we rose to the challenge. They make billions from the unending, unlimited-class free-for-all deathmatch that is freeroam - that we turned it into.

 

Let me twist my mustachio as I cackle, "Ha ha haaaa, fools! You fell right into their trap!"

 

And now my xbox has finished updating, so it's back to Night City for me. No griefing, no randoms, no feeling like it's me vs the devs - just a massively immersive huge open world cyberpunk RPG. It's goddamn bliss.

So many players love to blame R*.... (oh I mean C* am I right?!) ugh. Honestly no. Of course there was going to be micro transactions, yes overall there’s been some bullsh*t with this game. I put more than half the blame on the player base. Things would have been vastly different if the player base was a little less toxic. Like I said in my post higher up, sometimes I’m truly f*cking shocked at how sh*tty players are to each other. We all enjoy (to a certain extent) this game, we all in the end want similar things.... money, cars toys... yet the toxicity is awful. R* went in the direction where they saw the most money could be made from how most people play this game. R* didn’t create the state of free mode. The player base did. Players held up a large neon sign for R* for how they wanted free mode and R* just went along with dollar signs in their eyes. 
I remember back in the day so many people were flying planes until the homing launcher got released, and oh boy that was going to kill free mode. I miss that time.

[Sentinel Driver]

Random noob aggressive casino heist host

--> Has done heavy armor prep

--> Doesn't actually pick heavy armor outfits for the heists though

--> Hasn't done any shipments at all so all Duggans have helmets

 

Why the f*ck even bother to do heavy armors but not use them?!!?!?!?!????????

I can handle Duggans with heavy armor if we have heavy armor as well, the heist will just take longer than it needs to

Duggans with helmets and assault shotguns and no heavy armor for us? Good luck with that.

Free roam hellscape upgrade. If you haven't played with the sub's guided missiles yet, imagine a combination nano drone and orbital strike, with no cost, a massive range (like across all of Los Santos), and only a 1 minute cooldown. They're a bit hard to aim at ground targets on foot, but this is guaranteed to be the new troll toy of choice for a long while.

Sounds like they can't hit MK2s, which is really what I was hoping for.  If it had massive OP lockon to MK2s I'd spend days in lobbies just blowing every one of them out of the sky.  Alas, the bitchbike is still king of freeroam and will continue to ruin the game

Yeah, although apparently the sub's periscope and torpedoes or homing missiles or whatever do a number on them. the range is a lot smaller though.
