If popularity is maxed, yes.

Yep, now brought in line with the current-gen console versions on last-gen and PC.

Correct.

not sure if the popularity mission oddness is also a side effect of the mid-event patch which didn't update NC values until the next event...

but I will take one for the team if need be and fill out the data points (and then take a lot to get it back up)

This is what I have so far based on the wiki and screenshots here and conversations.



I mean, if they wanted to adjust the pop gain from a mission, I get it, but it should be at least 15-20%

I admire your commitment...

[Spider-Vice]

Best kind of commitment  I don't have the skill or patience to do it myself but I really enjoy when people do these calculations and knowledge bases for new DLC and so on!

Like me please.

[SlipperyPete]

That is why it is called a Business BATTLE.

 

Just go AFK overnight and watch your nightclub magically fill. BTW,they just upped the payout. I try to sell in the high 80s (90 crates is when you have to use the Pounder truck-not a big deal,but I prefer the small,faster van) and 89 crates gave me about 500k. Now it gives me over 800k.

Nice bump!

Egoists should be banned from business battles

 

I wanted to fill up my nightclub but they are not leaving anything for me, just taking away from me

If it's a singular vehicle or only two crates, that's fair game.

 

I do agree that people who target others in the "Eight crates" business battles are assholes though, more than enough to go around and you sure aren't going to get all the Airship's crates by yourself as that's downright impossible. I often use my Akula on that one now simply due to the f*cktards that ignore it until you're back in Los Santos

I don't know...R* cut by hal or more the "taxes" you have to pay for your bussiness, apartaments, penthouse, mechanic, etc., and adding more income to this stuff. Taking into account that HSW upgrades for OG cars are basically if you had to buy a brand new car with the cost of today's game economy...i would say that probably the next gen DLC's will be more expensive.

Edit: Also, thnak you for posting that article, now i know the different profit values of the MC Bussinesses:

Only being able to deliver items to the agency front door. Also, running up and down stairs in said agency over and over like a dumbass. I swear, they make everything as uncomfortable as possible.

I've got into Franklin's house, and... Wtf? Floating bed, armchairs that change texture, misplaced couch?

(Btw, taking cover by wall/door/window, opening any job lobby and leaving it still works to get inside any interior)

Huh?

Franklin is a Bazillionaire?

Floating furniture is room temperature superconducting magnets...

Armchairs that change texture/color is nano technology....

Franklin is living the life! 

I wish I could afford to live in the future.

well, that saves me the hassle then

 

 

Top 15% is the same proportion of payout as the old one because it's a 5x multiplier, but everywhere else is less relative to the max payout except the bottom 10% where it's now less abysmal.

If pop mission increase is 25% (not broken because it's now a new event), you'd still want to keep it in the top 15%. Good thing though, is that at 75%, your safe value is still #4,### so that makes life a bit easier?

[gamerMK2]

But what the matter with annoying dude spamming phone calls to do NC missions, even when popularity is maxed already?

I think Dave stops bugging you once you have hired all the djs (100k for 50% or 100% popularity which is the first time bonus)

[Spider-Vice]

I haven't had a call from Dave in a while since I finished all variations of the DJ help missions but I do get Tony & co. begging me to do jobs to increase popularity as I've started doing that again (now that the safe $ is increased).

 

Last I saw Dave the guy was high af dancing in the water in Cayo Perico.

Buy the NC and if you have money - all the MC business' just so it can generate you free money. This only if you are playing plenty or are AFK-ing a lot.

 

 

 

Yeah, I bought the Nightclub. Then I grinded bunker and counterfeit money sell missions until I had enough to buy the Coke factory and upgrades. Now I'm grinding bunker & counterfeit & coke sell missions until I have enough to buy a new bunker. Then if my brain doesn't melt down, I might do some more to have enough to buy a Terrorbyte, since they're on sale too this week.

[Ozmak]

I’ve been going afk in my nightclub to boost my money, lately the game has been starting my sell stock mission while I’m afk, any reason for this, lost millions so far.

Buy the Terrorbyte before a new Bunker - you have one already and even if it's bad, better to have another income than giving money for the same stuff you already own. This will also diversify your game experience while optimizing your money since you are still low on them. Once you have plenty of cash (bought Kosatka and Agency, at least) - then switch your Bunker location.

 

The Terrorbyte can make you a decent amount of cash while you are waiting for your MC and Bunk to fill. And can store a Broomstick, which will help your grinding IMMENSELY.

[Ozmak]

Righto, that could be the reason, cheers for that.

Someone posted around here (not sure who) that hitting pause stops the Tony call. It works like a charm.

Mid/late July seems to be the norm for summer updates since 2018 so I guess we could see this year's on July 19/26 at the latest? Maybe July 12 if RDO doesn't get a summer update.

 

Either way, fk me that's a long wait. Not a fan of this two updates a year bs at all

Much prefer two updates if that means they are working on the next iteration of GTA and online, which seems to be the case.

[Insoluble Fiber]

As an online player since 2013, I'd hate to see the current game cease to exist. All the progress, all the memories. 

 

It would be great if the next online will continue from where we left off.

 

I mean how much greater could the next online be if they would expect us to start from scratch?

 

Not by a long shot I'd say. 

 

The current game is so content filled, sure it lacks in some aspects but how they gonna re-introduce the same stuff without turning off the old players?

 

And perhaps the way I'd see myself start over is if the next game would become super intricate and detailed in all aspects imaginable.. which is just not possible?

The next GTA VI Online would be way too easy, if we could start it rich af. Imagine how inflated the ingame prices would be. I would rather start from scratch, having to climb the ladder to become the criminal underworld boss again. And i would prefer it, if the game has GTA+ from the start, to keep the ingames prices lower. This way greedy Take2 gets their money, and we don't have to grind ourselves to death. I wouldn't mind paying 6€ a month, if that means everything is much much cheaper ingame.

 

Maybe the new GTA VI Online takes place in the past, then it wouldn't make sense anyway to keep our progress, or it's very far in the future Cyberpunk 2077 dystopian future like. I mean who knows, what will happen, it could be everything.

 

Ppl that never played the current GTA Online, would have a hard time getting into the game, if we veterans could just carry over our progress. GTA VI will be based on the latest version of the engine they use, this means they can't just copy paste stuff into it like, cars, weapons, outfits etc. because of that i hardly believe we can keep our progress.

 

Maybe we get some benefits, for being a "legacy player", some free cars, clothes and such things, but that's it. Keeping everything wouldn't make much sense.

[Insoluble Fiber]

You described the current state of online as well. And I don't see it stopping new players from playing and enjoying

 

Legacy items would surely be appreciated, although I don't think they would be that special on PC.. 

 

+ Imagine the incentive for new players to spend the dollar to get what the old players have (evil laugh)

@Insoluble Fiber With a better character creator I don´t mind starting over to make new journey! @Mexicola9302 is right the prices should be to steep for new players.... But I don´t mind keeping a car or two if we can!
