Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 6)

[Horrid_Saiyam]

10th is most likely and like mach said releasing on 10th makes the most sense so dripfeed ends in early October and they don’t mess with rdr2 marketing either that way 

[Maeve]

I’m still going with the tenth, seventeenth at the latest.

 

Just like last time, they’ll release the DLC around the same same time as Fortnite Battle Royale Season 5. Quite a few DLC’s have been released on the same day as some other major releases.

I am giving you fuel to get back at me later if it does come out in July as I am hoping that it does come out when Mach predicted but

this is R* and the 10th is a long way off yet...

I think some mixed messages got crossed and it was always one update tbh. Just with two major features.

Yeah - sounds like people are conflating things that aren't synonymous: 'two gameplay additions', and 'two updates'.

 

As in, it's no that there was going to be a 'nightclubs update' and then a 'business consolidation update' - more like R* was considering two things at some point in 2018 (nightclubs, and business consolidation), with nightclubs being the next update, and consolidation happening ...maybe later, maybe at the same time, whenever...

 

As it is, R*'s decided to take the various different things on their slate, and just make them into one big update, rather than spread them over several smaller (or even regular-sized) updates.

 

And as for 'two updates in one', again, I think that's more 'two updates' worth of content at once', and not 'two different themes'. I.e., it's probably not going to be an obvious case of two distinct themes in the one update - it might well just be a sh**load of nightclub stuff, with maybe some other unrelated vehicles and whatnot that they were working on for future use thrown in for good measure.

Rockstar Newswire explicitely tells that Nightclubs can be used as cover to secure income from Disruption Logistics, The Open Road, SecuroServ and Free Trade Shipping Co.

...

NO MORE POSTOP VANS DERBY.

[Gridl0k]

It says you can launder income from those businesses, not that they're changing any of the mechanics of them.

[docholladay1976]

Considering that the US isn't it the world cup, I can't see why they'd delay the release of a dlc for it.  

 

As for the two dlcs rolled into one I kind of got the impression that is was talking about the size of it.  Not that it would be two separate ones.  At least that's what I'm hoping.  

[IceMan56]

My guess is July 31st, last Tuesday in July, seems like something they would do. It's still July to them. 

(no actual guess)

My real guess would be the 17th, trailer the week of the 10th.

This has me wondering if the reason this will be passive income means you have to pay money into the club that gets removed from your wallet for a set amount of time, but you get back more money than you put in after this time passes.

[555-We-Tip]

I would have to guess that passive income is something Rockstar would want to avoid at all costs.

[IceMan56]

Is this nightclub going to be like a hub where we bring the product from our many businesses, process it and then sell the goods?

Or a place that makes the income like in Breaking Bad with the car wash?

Is the LSPD on to us? and want to take our businesses down, so now we need to do it legally?

[Gridl0k]

Can't wait to start promoting, designing and managing my nightclub!

Exactly, makes no sense to have passive income ingame as a business point of view. I do want to see it happen though cause i can't be bothered grinding anymore

Yan said and I quote:

"... but the good news is it's a fairly big update. Heard something about how they took the content of 2 updates to put into this single one. .."

They are using content from two updates and putting them in one, it wasn't just an indication of the size.

I can see a situation similar to story mode where the income is passive but little side missions (promotion, chase the thief, etc) determine how much money the business makes (ignoring the side missions entirely could lead to no payout at all). So we’d still have to work for it, it just wouldn’t be a “grind” per se -  something like that seems reasonable. 

 

But other than a strict senario like that, I agree, Rockstar won’t give us any money for free.

Just because the U.S. isn't playing doesn't downplay the popularity of The World Cup, tf lol.

It's the 10th, bro

Qabeta3 is for a new launcher.

Notice how "271592" is only updated for qabeta3 and that's for the Socialclub app.

They update "271594" (Executable) & "271591" (Launcher) because the new one make use of some links like:

https://signin.rockstargames.com

They added them to the executable with the recent update but I think they are making some changes.

 

It involve a new update to Socialclub which is why they are updating "271592" (Socialclub) only for qabeta3

Getting ready for integrating RDR2 into Social Club, I presume - ?

How do you know? There's a lot of things they still have to get out of the way before the release like...

 

- official trailer

- more details on the update maybe

- release jester classic

- hopefully finish heist 2x events with double money on series a, pac standard and act 3

[Non Funkable Token]

^Jester Classic was never advertised. Nothing to release unless they want, which I strongly doubt because it's unfinished.

 

Trailer and more details are likely yet to be released, but not mandatory.

 

Giving x2 money to the rest of the heists is optional too.

We don’t know if they’re going to release the Jester Classic or not, but they probably will.

[Verbal Soze]

Wow lots of hints in plain sight in this thread & forum, i can even see the pounder custom, which is meh, but if it can deliver 10 crates with full meths and cocaine solo, then it's fine

 

My biggest fear is that the nightclub is just a hub for all of our business, you know like one stop shop for resupply or collecting cargo which is boring or maybe something better like invest some money in that club and then the profit came back 10 or 20% more passively without any work let's say you're throwing 10k in it so the profit will be like 11k if it's 10%

In fairness, they don't have to do any of that...:

 

- could be we hear nothing else until release day

- same again

- looks more like they're doing something with it, most likely requiring a new update to make any improvements/alterations

- they never said anything about doing all the heists, so there's likewise nothing stopping them just not doing that event at all

[Horrid_Saiyam]

Is this really necessary for them to release an update after 2-3 weeks once they update qabeta @Fun 2?

It was available to buy for about 15 minutes though.

 

If they don't fix it, properly, I hope it never comes out.

Everything leads to the 10th and at worst case the 17th. No later.

 

Also a trailer is not mandatory. they advertize however they please. they already gave us a teaser trailer. We dont really need a full trailer. maybe just another article on the update which could come next tuesday.

 

The Jester was obviously delayed because it'broken. It'll likely be a Nightclub car now.

 

All of the rewards and events end by the 9th.

 

10th is very likely. 17th is less so but could happen. If you figure any later, go back and read the article. guest list says "return later july for more rewards" now how tf we gon do that if the actually update launches directly at the end of july? Its just nonsical.

 

On top of that, everyone always predicts the update to launch later than most expect and theyre never right unless its dripfeed. Just saying.

So let me get this right, shifting from qabeta to qabeta 3? Hence the creation of the launcher and social club codes?

Well I had the idea that the old bussinesses will be able to increase the popularity of your club.

For example:

Instead of selling stuff from your document forgery directly it gets auto-transported to your club and sold to the guests, increasing the popularity and the income of your club.

You would still need to get supplys for the forgery bussines and the nightclub itself, aswell as some randoms mission wich happen from time to time (similar to storymode) so it would not be fully passive income.
