Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 2)

Seeing everyone freak out, is kinda funny.

 

I mean, I still think it's gunna drop tomorrow. But, it's still funny.

I'm just tired of the immaturity of this company. "Errmaghod a leak got out let's delay the update" I mean that is actually a possibility, this is Rockstar.

 

 

I doubt that. Given that - if it's due tomorrow - it'll have been agreed with Sony and Microsoft well ahead of time, and neither will be happy with R* reneging on the agreed date.

 

That being said, I could maybe see them delaying the Newswire post.

 

Maybe.

 

Possibly.

 

Unlikely though.

[Alvarez]

Guys, it wont drop tomorrow.

Nah, come on.

[Notorious Z]

Only a day until the new update? Nice. Thank God I didn't even have to wait that long.

[Hunter]

 

I'm still getting a vibe all the old armed vehicles will now have an ammo limit. I mean, think about how the Ruiner will fit with the others if not - it'd just feel out of place.

 

 

Leaked tuneables had rocket ammo set to 8:

Yes, that's why I'm thinking they might have a limit on other vehicles too. It would feel kind of strange if it's just for one vehicle.

 

But it's only a vibe.

 

Oh, and as for Kirsty's question, I personally think they're just going to drop the update with no warning, like a helicopter dropping a bomb.

[Gridl0k]

Still 35m of business hours in NY for a newswire update, fwiw.

dont think they are immature, they just dont seem to know how to handle the beast they have in their hands.

 

gtao is a big beast!

The negativity coming from some of you really makes this thread very depressing. Be somewhat optimistic, as this isn't the first time Rockstar have released an update without a trailer or announcement (Drop Zone, Bikers, etc.)

[Gridl0k]

There's probably some reason why R* are release-date shy, too *cough* hists

Yeah, doing that would be like developing a whole new line of code that lets cars have retractable spoilers, and then not updating the cars that are already ingame.

 

Who would do that?

"Negativity" lol dude. Just sharing my thought on what i think about the dlc dropping tomorrow or not. Its either tomorrow or the 20th, im going for the latter.

[Nuclearsniper]

So 12-13 more hours until it drops right guys?

Maybe because the ammo will be restocked at LSC or the workshop, similar to Red Army Surplus in GTA2? I also heard the version of being restocked over time, like cooldown, but i do not welcome the idea of regenerating ammo.

 

Worst case would be a salvo of 8 missiles and reloading cooldown. That is unless they are the unguided rocket pod type, perhaps.

Sorry man, your post kind of came off as pretty negative to me lol. We've had a lot of sh*t posters in here today.

Heists, sometimes referred to as hists round these parts

 

And yeah 12-13h until DLC o'clock.

I would hope so but Retardstar are dealing with some things I supposed and it doesn't really look too good.

I think they're limiting the Ruiner's ammo because of the kind of vehicle it is. If they are intro'ing some new type of vehicle between PV and Pegasus that could be why they're limited, it could also be because it's a car and it's a lot smaller, quicker, and more maneuverable than the tank or Buzzard, but I don't think they're going to limit ammo on other vehicles.

My Page-Janitor Source just sent me a lite nude through a Snapchat message saying "the update drops tomorrow, if we reach 1600 pages on this topic!"

lol why?

[AUScowboy]

If the update comes out and contains nothing from R*F's leak, it will go down as the greatest troll of GTAF history. Even better than the moderators SPdlc troll (which was pretty damn great lol)...i do think it'll drop tomorrow though.

[SkynetOnlineID]

I think it's more they have everything ready to go and there's a head chief in charge who just has to press a button. Then some intern comes in running with statistics on how numbers have quadruped due to speculation, leaks, pre-update grinders, etc. "Maybe I should just make them wait a little longer. Maybe I could just release an official date for today".

 

That's how I imagine it.

[Nomis24]

I mean if I was Rockstar, I would do the same thing. Dont release any information and watch this thread burn to the ground

[FrostyJ]

My speculation is that the Rocket Voltic and the Ruiner2000 will be the cars held back until christmas. I could see them holding them back and then releasing them along side yet another adversary mode that involves the both of them.

Well maybe it works like buzzard? (2 rockets, then time to reload) but in Ruiner its 8 slow loading shots and then super long reload? Dunno. but TBH I would be happy with only 8 rockets and thats it. I don't want to see kids grifing all day long in those cars

 

btw helicopter dropping bombs - that would be cool

but I always wanted a plane that can do that (just like the one from SP )

So, been at my girls place since friday!

 

Anything new since? Any pics leaked?

[Watain]

 

 

 

My bet is an announcement on thursday then release on tuesday, like usual. Why wouldn't they wait until the 20th? Stores and whatnot are open to at least the 23rd (have in mind that christmas is celebrated on the 24th here), so why wouldn't R*?. Someone will also have to work during the holiday since there's likely gonna be snow on christmas eve(s) (and possibly some bugs and other maintenance trouble).

Nobody that has any more power and authority than to flip a tunables switch will be working @ R* HQ after this Friday. 13th or not at all, are the only options.

I'm almost sure the tunables are turned on automatically on a specific date.

I doubt someone will pull up at the R* office, on the christmas day or eve, and boot up the pcs just to turn on the snow for us.

I have had to show up to my business on a holiday because inventory shows up on said holiday even though we were closed because in order for us to run on the day after when we are on normal business hours we required that a delivery be made. Million dollar companies require sacrifices.. so showing up on a holiday or holiday break is not out of the ordinary.

 

Exactly. And of course the tunables will most likely be automated, but it doesn't take away the potential need of support in case of bugs and/or server maintenance. I highly doubt R* will just leave their servers unwatched and unmaintained over christmas. Especially considering a lot of kids will recieve cash which they can spend on Shark Cards.

 

Besides, there are a lot of people who don't care about christmas and would willingly work for overtime benefits.

[please stop me]

My speculation is that the Rocket Voltic and the Ruiner2000 will be the cars held back until christmas. I could see them holding them back and then releasing them along side yet another adversary mode that involves the both of them.

 

They're special vehicles which the new missions involve. Why would they lock them off "secretly" when you're doing missions involving them from the get go?
