Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 6)

[Fatsanchez]

Don't forget that they were testing things on freemode events in the developer environment.

New freemode events coming with the next update ?

Is that why R* servers are so unstable these days? Yesterday I continuously got the save failed, cant connect to server message. And I got that a lot erlier last week as well. Very unusual for me. Edited May 21, 2018 by Fatsanchez

I would imagine Nightclubs are just a front for an illegal business. I wouldn't be surprised if we can deal drugs out of the back room or something.

Two words: fight clubs.

 

The fighting in the cages was in TBOGT and I wouldn't mind them to reappear

Sounds great but I mean there is no buy/sell business in cage fighting. I mean $50k bets would go great Edited May 21, 2018 by Devdevi45

I think this will be passive income form of business, but will operate differently than everything we have seen so far.

 

As you know, nightclubs don't make "products" for sale(besides the overpriced drinks and snacks you get at the bar), they keep afloat as long as there is people going in there.

 

So I believe we will be bringing vehicles of drinks(AKA supplies) to the clubs to fill up, if we keep it filled, the clients we be happy and more people will come to the club.

 

The income should be different though, we should get it daily(or weekly like in SP) without having to do any mission.

 

I'm not sure about you, but daily or weekly income sound good to me if I don't have to do any sale mission again. Provided the payout is marginally decent.

 

This is what makes sense the most for me.

 

Just speculating here as I'm the dark just like all of you here.

I agree with this...but odds of it happening? slim to noneI just have to ask what you agree with because it makes no sense to me what you write.

His whole post is based on what or how he thinks the business part of the nightclub will work and you say you agree but odds of it happening are slim to none.. Do you agree and believe that the business part will work as he described but the chances of it happening are slim to none?

 

 

 

I kind of like the idea here and I just hope we can buy the supplies for our nightclubs

I agree that it would be a great idea for it to be passive and the description he gave....but it has little to no chance of happening

if they are testing them...then obviously yes it'll be with an update...not necessarily with this next one...remember they'll add it to whichever update they think it should go with

[MajorVienna]

Something to do with police being part of the next update, and the effects that playing as a cop will have on existing activities/checking for bugs perhaps. Or maybe a change to police AI/actions/behaviour could be a part of the next update.

no matter how much I like that...but no I don't think we'll ever be the good guys (besides DDH). I mean if it's about corruption then yes I can see us working with cops...but never being one

[Lonely-Martin]

Sounds great but I mean there is no buy/sell business in cage fighting.

 

Could have to collect fighters, even take the loser to hospital after, lol.

 

Also, like Vice City with the porno studio, might have to do jobs like fly a Dodo and drop fliers to promote the show. (Basically a checkpoints mini game/mission).

I'm almost certain that the whole ordeal with cops in the next update will just be some kind fetch quest.

 

Simply put, the devs don't think we should play as cops, even though vigilante work is something that is part of the series since 2001.

 

Unless they are changing their opinions on this, unlikely though.

That doesn't make sense.

I'm aware of what you're talking about. It usually happens in game development, developers make the structure for a future update while still working on the next update but it doesn't make sense to use tunables for that.

 

I mean, are there different reasons for server downtime? With one thing being worse than the other? Like, should we expect a fix soon?

Sorry for asking so much.

I don't know about that, if anyone does he must be an insider or work at R*

as for the downtime...idk

 

Edited:

However it could also be that R* is fixing some of the current ones as well, or removing some too...but idk it's R* they do what they want to do with their games

After night clubs I hope we can open up and buy fast food restaurants. Focking Clucking bell mate...that would be some good sh*t right there I’ll tell ya whuat.

remember this is R* we are talking about Fun...we should be expecting the unexpected...that's why I said that

You don't expect the unexpected in game development.

Expect R* will lose all the game assets and backups and cancel GTA Online ?

 

I just retracted it...cause that didn't come out correctly for what I am trying to say...I did post what I was trying to say as an edit to that

[wisdom000]

If this does include the business consolidation, and does afford passive income, then this is how I would like to see it done. The club(s) you own contain an office where you can manage all your business ventures. Each business you own is represented in the club, say for each biker business you have a dealer in your club, Dudes selling weed, meth, and coke in the bathroom. Dude selling fake id's outside. Dude laundering counterfeit money at the door. Arrange some smuggling with the guy at the bar. Dude selling weapons out of the back room. Maybe someone selling hot cars in the alley out back.

 

As for the amount of passive income... I think it should offset, or maybe be double the amount, of existing business costs. As long as you keep everything running smooth and supplied, You are no longer losing the massive amounts of money that can add up for property rent, employee fees, and other costs.

 

Of course new jobs let you take a more active role for extra cash, like maybe you use your hangar to arrange tours using your aircraft, or smuggle people around the map. Sell a large quantity to a buyer with deep pockets, but watch out, it could be an undercover cop. Someone OD's at your club, can't have that, choose either to get them to a hospital or ditch the body somewhere it won't be found. Stop pick pockets at the club. And yes, of course, underground fight rings...

Well we can say bye bye to engine resistance.

[dazzathomas09]

GTAO barely has service wide outages and yet here we are having people lose their sh*t over something that is beyond our control. Speculating the speculation. Jesus

I believe the business consolidation is just a way to fill supplies to all of your businesses in one event.

I respect you Fun, but reading is fundamental... I am sure you are right, which is why I specifically said "then this is how I would like to see it done."

[Tazzytizer]

I think clubs will work like this:

 

Clubs around the map now become an enterable interior, like vanilla unicorn.

The club contact allows you to buy a share in one of the clubs and become a co-owner, allowing you to generate income. However you will be tasked with keeping the club stocked on booze, picking up VIPs and protecting the club.

 

Resupply the booze in the club by stealing vans of goods.

Pick up and drop off VIPs / rescue them from jail or other altercations for a small tip and boost to income.

Protect the club from NPC raids to continue generating money, e.g. a thief may steal money - kill them and return the cash.

[Fatsanchez]

@wisdom000 Not that Fun needs defending but tbh I didnt take what he said as a negation to what you said. Just spitting out information IMO.

 

That said I would also like to see things done the way you envisioned. I think there is more to this update than these nightclubs and thats whats making me hopeful.

protecting the club is in Story Mode itself in which a couple of gangsters attack the club owned by the protagonists of gta 5

 

so I think bit more complex attack might happen in gta online

Quite probably a front - but not just that. Or at least, I reckon there are some simple ways to use a nightclub business as more than just a disguise for ...more contraband delivery stuff.

 

R* could easily turn the club itself into a bigger, more elaborate, persistent take on things like weed farms from Bikers - you're hiring workers and keeping the place stocked up, but with, say, bartenders, janitors, etc., and keeping the drinks (and whatever else...) topped up.

 

There's also the idea of it being something you run on behalf of someone else - for instance, if you're running the place and some mobster wants a cut, you'll need to keep things afloat enough to be able to give them said cut when they come knocking (or else!).

 

 

I'm reminded of Sammy's, the bar from Mafia III - in the main story, it starts off as the front for his criminal operation, while also turning over a percentage of the 'legitimate' profits to regional mob boss Sal Marcano. Later on, you get to give the place a makeover, hire entertainers and stock the place up, and also fend off thugs wanting to trash the joint. All of that could work really well in GTAO, and it wouldn't be difficult just to replicate those kinds of activities almost to the letter.

I don't expect much from rockstar - just a copy paste job, especially if they have been working on this supposed 'business consolidation', which I imagine was plenty of work
