I didn´t say that but just rotate stuff in and out instead of ad more and more over time without remove anything from gta+ should be the norm for this subscription! 

They are banking on exclusivity of monthly gta+ subscription cosmetics more than anything else, if they just add things on top of not removing previous gta+ benefits including clothing items and liveries then patient players would just wait some months or get gta+ once a year to have all previously released items. Of course this would be preferable because i wouldn't have a problem with just paying $6 once a year and have all previous items if i like some of them, that would be worthy and there would be no pressure to pay every month or something you like is gone forever. But this won't happen.

That is this issue I have with gta+ and I won´t get it! R* is just to lazy to ad new stuff and just reuses old stuff!

Rockstar... when are you going to fix your bullsh*t Prize Ride challenges? "Place top 1 in an LS Car Meet Series race for 4 days in a row". 

 

As an example... first race completed 1700 hours, Thursday 20th April. 
So, if it's "four days in a row", that means the next time I should be doing a race is between Friday, 21st April at 1700 hours to Saturday, 22nd April at 1700 hours. 
That's not how it works. Logging in before Saturday 1700 hours and the Prize Ride challenge tells me I'm at 0 out of 4. 

 

So how does it work? 
I've lost several bullsh*t "days in a row" challenges now because either Rockstar has never explained when a day starts in GTA Online or they can't be bothered to program a 24 hour timer (like the Casino Lucky Wheel) for these prize ride challenges that start.

 

Very low quality.

 

- 

 

Also, how is matchmaking so bad in 2022? You're telling me that there's less than 100 people in fully assisted aim sessions, doing Street Races for a free vehicle, in this day and age? 
I don't believe it. There must be thousands of people worldwide trying to do this stuff (in fact, doing any particular mode, mission or event) but yet you're constantly put into dead lobbies. Absolute dogsh*t. 

 

If it means anything the daily timer for consecutive day challenges globally resets at 00:00 UTC

Both RDO and GTAO received their latest qabeta update 3 days ago. So those must be patches as @Tez2 said before.

[BS_BlackScout]

GOD, is it that hard for Rockstar to ban this piece of spamming garbage?

 

I've seen this... thing, MULTIPLE DAYS, MULTIPLE TIMES in MULTIPLE DIFFERENT SESSIONS.

 

Coward leaves the session immediately, of course.

 

It's also impressive how sometimes I get connected to people in the Phillipines, China or Indonesia (definitely not spammers, mod menu'ers and the alike) despite living in Brazil. Somehow this game's amazing matchmaking allows for such wonderful shenanigans.

 

Makes sense to not have GTA+ on PC, even if I was a die hard GTAO player not to say something else, I'd not pay for it. Just because of this trash, this trash that Rockstar refuses to solve.

A month of arena war 3x AP $ and Rp would be Nice, but those are piping dreams, they Will stick with weekend events it seems, would be Nice a newswire to clarify things, for PC and old gen, basically a Road map like they did before los santos summer special dlc update back in 2020

I would expect something big from R* as they both released E&E and GTA+. However, it seems like their only focus is next GTA title atm.

They don't have hardware limitations anymore, they can do bigger stuff, the next dlc Will be a good measure, but only 2 dlcs a years feels a bit short to me, they can do 3/4 a year or at least 2 bigs and one filler without compromising GTA 6 development...

[VitoCorleone1992]

We getting 3/4 DLC's per year just because we have now "E&E" and hardware limitations are no longer a problem? Well...taking into account that E&E was pretty much to give 60 fps to consoles and nothing major apart from that up until now at least, so i don't think that the "no more hardware limitations now" added to the fact that they didn't gave us almost none new and "game breaking" stuff, will help into traslation of: "yes, now we will get 3/4 DLC's per year". So my final thought is:

Maybe is wishfull thinking, but a multibillion dollar company can do that in theory at least, Iam not saying that we "Will" get 3/4 dlcs a years, just saying they can do it, they are just lazy and greedy. 

The exponential growth of GTA online was based on múltiple dlcs per year, that kept people coming back and grinding money, but in 2019 Rockstar was making so much money with sharkcards that they Saw that 2 dlcs a year was enough, this new thing GTA+ is a cheap way to grab cash, so if that works they might keep the 2 dlcs fórmula for the next years until GTA VI comes out.

I don’t agree with your words with they are lazy. If you want to play a masterpiece game, then wait. Ofc they are working hard on it and will not disappoint us. If it was that easy to develop a game like GTA, other companies would not release sh*tty games.

Lazy with dlcs, don't get me wrong GTA v is a Masterpiece, i have 412 days on it and still playing...GTA has no rival, You can do SO much stuff, from races, ad modes, heists, Rob stores, etc, i Will never deny that, the singleplayer is a Masterpiece too. I meant lazy strictly with dlcs on GTA online

They are lazy with DLCs because of next GTA. If you want them to release constant DLCs, then next GTA would get delay, which no one wants.

I think it's more about to just put resources were they have to. The majority of players are casuals, they are ok with 2 dlc's per year, those people don't even care that much about anything else than login in gta and make it as if it was a COD game - we know how public lobbies can get - many don't even know or care when a new dlc is supposed to release neither most know about the existence of the newswire.

 

With this i'm not saying that i don't want new and improved stuff (improved being the keyword here bcz "E&E" supposedly should meant that, and so far we didn't saw anything special - sure, we need a proper DLC for that, so i will keep my judgement for now, but tbh, i thoguht that adding animals to Online was something that they would do Day 1 and i don't know if they will add them now...).

 

I also want more stuff like new interiors and not re-used ones, horny bills, bahamas mamas, tequi-la-la, the mall, classic melee weapons, billiards, animals, mansions, LC map expansion, lmao, just to name a few...but the thing is R* is a company, and every capitalist company wet dream is to gain the most profit possible with the least waste of resources and expenditures. So, they will not change the 2 DLC's per year if they are not having a negative outcome from it and i'm talking quantity and quality too.

Damn really? That's even more of a mindf*ck, considering new daily objectives (for non-consecutive stuff at least - I haven't done them for a while) seems to reset at 0600 hours, UTC. 
A little consistency please, Rockstar!

Well, not really...sometimes i feel people are trying to tapping the back of R* like they are some small time company. Human resources are something that if they want, there's no lack of it, even if they outsourced their services they would be fine, if they just outsource to the right people...how many frreaking modders of cars that we see on youtube do an incredible job, but i guess many times corporations prefer to maintain the jobs with other corporations, even if those companies are specialists in making mobile games and not other type of games and then the final result is quite lackluster.

slow down a bit that gta online dlcs are not made in an afternoon

[ACR]

They barely gave anything new with next gen consoles release, yes there is graphical and frame rate upgrade and barely new content like hsw, but that's about it. I expected at least some interiors opened,  new cars in traffic, new billboards like motomami one that would resemble online progressing to current year, maybe even some construction site finished (not necessary MHC building at least initially) and one aspect that would hugely improve gameplay for me at least, that being gunplay, implementing kill animations like the ones from RDR when player is close to enemy npc would be a gamechanger for me and that wouldn't be much of a work given how there were those unreleased beta animations, they could just polish them a little and there could be couple for every weapon type. I even had some small glimmer of hope they would go with map expansion as first next gen update which would also be perfect opportunity to entice people to purchase again but that didn't happen.

Doing barely minimum with some small content indeed paint them as lazy as there really shouldn't be any limitations now with next gen consoles (and PC) to do all of those things and more.

They're obviously going to try hard with GTA+ so I'm sure they're developing some awe-inspiring DLCs to keep the player base engaged.

 

A new contract won't cut it. At least for me.

Theory: some Rockstar texture artist got caught looking at porn at the office, and tried the "I'm only looking at it for ...research - yeah, that's it, research!", and had to go through with the lie...

 

As for new interiors, remember how people found the full interior for Bahama Mamas in early 2015 (possibly earlier, even!), and we all assumed it'd open up as part of Heists? We're now seven years later - amazing to think that at this rate, GTA VI will come out, and that interior will have just gone to waste, because Rockstar Logic.

[VitoCorleone1992]

I think i'm not follow this...why this talk about "gta+ for summer and nothing else" is coming from? You guys are again with neurotic thoughts?  We are in April, (almost May, ok, but still) it's normal that there's not qabeta clues about a dlc being tested, specially now that the guys in the know told us that the development of a dlc doesn't need to be noticed in the qabeta or something like that...

And put Rockstar Logic in that, my friend! A full interior...unique, way better than our personal nightcblubs and Music Locker, by far! And still they don't open that sh*t, wtf, like! There was some game breaking bug/glitch found in there due to so many updates that f*cked up that sh*t that they even needed to make sure that no one could enter again that club by glitch via the door? It doesn't make sense...even bcz you have a nightclub mission where you have to destroy the booze cargo of Bahamas. It would make sense they let us enter there, even if they were our rival company. Tbh, even in TBOGT the nightclub was just opened for one mission, but still...why not having it in GTA Online when the freaking interior is full decorated? It's throwing hard work to the trash can.
