Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 5)

[Mr Dazza]

Sorry if I appear to be an ignorant idiot here, but I am. I've not kept up with this thread for a while, I found it quite difficult to follow a while ago. I'm just curious to hear what you guys think of this proposition.

Some users are recieving rewards of quite a lot of money, 1.35 mil awards keep showing up. Along with that we've had that rebate thing and the double earnings on the bunker earnings. To me this points towards their potential plans to stop producing content for online.

Think about it, "Right thats the end of the dripfeed content. We've got nothing else. Lets give them a bit of money to play around with the content."

 

I mean, they've not been this generous before, have they?

[MisFit-138]

 

 

The lack of QA testing is kind of out of the ordinary, assuming the DLC is coming mid March and not in April or something like that. They've been doing the 2 week divide between updates since what, Gunrunning? How long after Syphilis Vehicle Circuits did GR drop? Wanna say 2 weeks but could be wrong..

 

^Same here in lower Mich. It's so crazy because it was like mid 50°f here yesterday. Went cycling in a button up shirt, today we have these massive snowflakes falling heavily and it appears that it's going to stick and accumulate. I swear, if I have to gas up the snowthrower one more time I'm going to scream... I need some sun!

Youre fellow Michigander as well? Nice.

 

Unfortunately, we dont have any snow yet up here.

 

On topic: Maybe we arent getting an update. Wasnt it Fun that kicked off the speculation?

 

it was Fun who said that...but I'm just saying this now....he is wrong....expect something on the 6th of March related to a DLC

 

and I am not oblige to tell you who my contact is

If my memory serves, it was Yan who said that at the beginning of last year

Wishful thinking, but man it would be crazy if an update dropped unannounced for once. I miss feeling surprised by some of the new content they add. Back when I'm not a Hipster was added, everyone was shocked.

"We don’t yet have a fixed end point in mind, but the rollout of updates may change a little in order to encourage players to try Red Dead Redemption II when it launches. It would be great to have players splitting time between two incredible worlds, but we shall see how things evolve."

 

Imran said that to GI a while ago. It's been in the air for a while that the updates were going to slow down around RDR2, but then RDR2 getting delayed over and over kinda forced them to focus on GTAO to print money in the meantime. If RDR2 released in 2017, the things said might have been true.

[jdv95]

 

 

let's just all agree that the next couple of updates should be non military/meme focused.

 

 

Um, not only no... FAWK no!!

 

IMO there is not enough mil spec hardware in the game.

But you got a full year of Those updates!

 

stop thinking about yourself for a change.

 

They can always add more stuff you want LATER,but not now.

Not only does it only favour 1 player type,it Also becomes repetitive.

 

just because you are player type x doesn't mean that a game like this should only add player type x stuff.

 

same would be with Every other thing.

 

i want tuners to be next but that doesn't mean that Every update should be tuner themed.

 

That is the problem,Every big 2017 update was

Military themed. only the dripfeed was varied.

But the gameplay,clothes,and main bulk was just that same Theme over and over again.

 

in order for a game to stay fresh and fun it NEEDS to get different stuff for different people.

 

Again it's only fair.

 

gta was never 1 specific theme,so why should the updates be? Just because player type x wants it?

 

 

Srry for the rant,but i had to get this of my chest.

[Verbal Soze]

 

Dammit R* just give us a picture or a gif... something.

 

 

Whatever it is - there's a good change that we will get something similar to a treasure hunt. It was very well reserved and it's relatively easy to make. They can port something from RDR2 and create another hunt even in a last moment.

 

I read everything with Rick's voice.

 

I'm guessing the revolver treasure hunt isn't going to be the only one. These kind of campaigns will drive gtao players into rdr. Many of us are a guaranteed sell, but the ones on the fence will be driven by the treasure hunts and other interactive marketing ploys.

Car hunt? Like in forza? What is it called? Barn find? Hmmm, that sounds good, i'll play it tbh

Only way to acquire a Dominator Classic is to find one on a pile of rocks somewhere and restore it. Count me in.

dont touch my f***ing dominator

[FrozenDanCicle]

I'm just imagining the sh*tshow that would exist in game if they put vouchers for a new car in an old school special crate drop.

 

People went full tilt trying to nab a shirt.

 

I am in no way advocating for this. I'm down with crate drips coming back, just keep it to clothes.

 

 

 

----this is not something that is happening. This is the eletronic version of me farting on paper and then drawing words from the fine mist.

 

I'm parched for info

[CarimboHanky]

treasure hunt for the revolver was really cool, i'd welcome more of that...

 

a treasure hunt every 2 weeks for some special guns, clothes or any other collectible and to spice things up we just get a text and pic, no yellow circle marker on the map.

 

10/10 i'd play the sh*t out of this!

I had an idea about this awhile back.. posted it over on the vehicles wishlist thread.

 

 

I just had a small thought. Apologies if its already been brought up/discussed/thought of; I haven't googled to see if I'm the first one with this idea, even though I get the feeling I'm probably not.

 

I/E, classics edition: (just what I'm calling it.)

 

It would work sort of the same way as import/export, except theres no money invested into making the car worth more.

 

Allow me to explain, through the use of an example.

 

You buy a garage somewhere. It's more of a proper auto-shop than a warehouse, but it does have sufficient storage space (say, 40 slots like the original I/E garages, with one spot in the work-bay, and one in the finishing booth.)

 

You then do a source mission to source the car. Again, sort-of the same as the original I/E missions, but they wouldnt be the exact same missions with different cars. The cars you source are all run-down wrecks of classic cars, both new to the game, and ones already there. (sure, R* might have to take a few cars and make "rusty" models, but I think it would be cool to have the option to buy a rusty Rapid GT Classic or rusty GT500 "barn finds"). (For an example, I'm linking a Roadkill video with a Mach 1 Mustang {dont lynch me, Mach1bud.} Think stealing a Dominator Classic in the same condition as is at the END of the video. Driveable, but pretty cruddy.)

 

 

You might have to steal one from a salvage yard, steal a wastlander or a flatbed with one on the back (think the Stromberg heist prep), steal one from a demolition derby before it goes into the ring, etc. damage done may or may not cost money; I'm leaning towards no, but I don't know what the incentive would be to keep it damage free, so plan to pay a small amount to get it back to pre-damaged but still cruddy state.

 

Once the car is back in your garage, you can either source another car, sell your car right away, or source parts to repair the one you have.

If you sell your car right away, it's sold to a private seller as a "project vehicle", and you don't make very much, considering the work the buyer will have to put into it. (Think the cheapest payout I/E sales.)

 

If you choose to source parts, sourcing would be like the standard crate sourcing, except they would all be pick-up-able, like the Smugglers Run crates (even if it's loaded into a vehicle, you can blow up said vehicle and collect the parts.)

 

If you choose to collect parts, it will fill up a supplies bar, the same way gunrunning works. You can choose a car, (in this case the Dominator Classic) to repair. It moves that car from its spot in storage to the work bay, and the progress timer ticks down as the mechanic gets the car back to a straight condition. This is the midway point. A decent, smooth running car with standard paint, but still some flaws.

 

You can choose to either sell it, move it back to storage, or move it to the finishing booth. Finishing booth would require more supplies and more time, (it would use the same supply bar though), but the car will look/perform better, and would consequently net you more profit in the end. Finished cars could be stored so you can sell more than one higher end car at once.

 

 

 

It's just a rough idea, there's a lot of things that I know would have to be thought of and worked out, and my idea probably isn't practical, but.. I still wanted to get it down here anyway, before I forgot.

Doesn't even have to be big. Remember when the Sultan RS and Banshee 900R dropped out of absolutely nowhere? It was just two (admittedly very customizable) cars and everyone lost their sh*t. Fun times.

Yes to more treasure hunting. Old cars, old guns, vintage scuba gear, whatever. Place stuff at the bottom of the sea and post a bunch of Great Whites in the area too. But I guess we would need spearguns....

Diving underwater for a search of that speargun, sounds like fun, i'm in

[bebay123]

honestly Mach....what happens if it's a surprise dlc and they won't tell us anything until the update comes out

I prefer the circle being there, a lot of the areas up north look to similar to pick out something distinct. I never even knew there was an old wooden mine looking door at Sandy Shores airfield! I thought it wanted me to go to the actual mine at first.

 

If they're city locked then yeah, no circles please! I'd know it just by seeing a building in the picture!

[bebay123]

honestly if I get marked as a troll I really don't care...but I am rock solid on something coming out on the 6th information wise...especially since R* is keeping this DLC tight lipped...that tells me something huge is coming that nobody will expect to see

[Sentinel Driver]

Don't be rock solid on 6th. It's a tuesday

smugglers run was announced on 24.8 thursday

doomsday heist was announced on 7.12 again a thursday

So if we're getting new information it's gonna be on 8th not 6th

[Duckdude001]

A hummer h1 along with a Lamborghini lm002 would be nice for the next dlc to provide more additions to the off-road class like the riata and kamacho did imo. One for day one of the dlc and the other as dripfeed perhaps?..

ik...but I'm still going to be rock solid for the 6th to get either information or something else

Funny that you mentioned the LM002. I recently saw a Doug DeMuro ("quirks and features!") video about it and the guy actually wants to own one. I was reminded of how you'd probably like to see one in the game. I'd certainly do, it looks and sounds great.

Regarding the next DLC, all I'm hoping, and could possibly make sense when thinking of the old Heists and IGG updates, is a similar case for this month. It'd certainly be better than CS:SVC-rehashed or to waste an interesting theme in a small-sized beginning of the year update.

Don't worry, you can't be labelled the same thing twice.

[bebay123]

and now im going to sit back and wait

oh and please just wait until then

[DaGhostQc]

And if there's no news about the update, you're going to be right anyway because if it's something else, you predicted it too. I asked you if you get your infos from MrTrollFL and you said that you don't watch his videos, yet you cited him and talked about what he said a bunch of times around previous DLCs. It's literally sitting in your post history by the way.

 

You're always saying: Expect this or that, this or nothing, then you go on talking like you know the ultimate truth and have credible sources when it's just a sh*tty clickbait youtuber. I'm sure that you'll "guess right" once and I fear for this day, because it's just going to be "I told you so! I was right that one time so I'm a legit source and my intensive decyphering works, etc.

 

No one knows sh*t including myself and you don't either. I'm a patient man, but seeing the same thing over and over is getting old now.

Please no cunning stunts . . . that update had NOTHING for me <_< . . .it was such a let down. Just like flight school.

 

Although I rock the C2 corvette all the time, that was the only thing I took from it.

 

As soon as I came on the day it dropped . . . Iwas like WTF is going on here!? The trailer was very misleading.

I (partially) agree.

 

I had to go back and double-check what that update actually brought and, yeah, it was easily the most disappointing thing added ever since I started playing. The GP1 was great and I loved it, since McLaren is one of my top car manufacturers and I've always loved the F1. But the rest seemed like an extension of I/E's dripfeed, with just that car and the races being released and all the rest coming later. No clothes, tattoos, hairstyles or guns. Compared to Lowriders:CC, SVC was terribly anorexic in content, for me of course. Cars were great, though.

 

That's why I rather hope for something more substancial this year.

Edited March 2, 2018 by Volganor

[xDatxJunkyx]

Truuue.

 

I'm not a racing guy, or a super car guy, so I hated the update, naturally. I liked lowriders only for the Voodoo and Tornado. Hehehe. Not a fan of cholo.

 

I wish we had the blouses the high waisted pants came with. The blouses alone I mean.
