This would be an awesome time to update the colors at lsc for this dlc, I see them adding an AM in some the clubs for this one. Killing each other while the DJ does his/her job....

get the most kills before the dj stop the music.

 

or some variant of musical chairs, we all dance and when the music stops guns are enabled and he who gets the most kills/survive wins the round.

 

it would be disappointing if they dont add a dance minigame to the update, just like they didnt add lowrider dance minigame to the lowriders update.

That was an easy one to do really, could have been something like an freemode event. Go to this spot in a lowrider and it makes every one in that area unkillable till it's over.

Could have different levels all over the map, have some npc lowriders there just in case no players show up for. An easy 5k to 10k for the low lvl ones.

If it's copy right music playing, Youtubers are gonna have a laughably hard time attempting to record/stream that. They're at a disadvantage

I just realized that if the nightclubs are going to be our ultimate business consolidation, assumingly making all previous businesses obsolete/a waste of money, then it will probably come at a mighty hefty sum. Much heftier than I expected at first. Or maybe the consolidation part will be an add-on for it? On the other hand they'll probably just force us to own everything individually, to access their features respectively from the nightclub. Anyway, my curiosity just grew even stronger.

 

Hyped ... and scared of the incoming pricetags.

 

I still reckon it's just going to be a computer in an office upstairs in your club, where you can access all the various things in one place - nothing more than that.

 

As for the price, I'm not expecting clubs to be ridiculously expensive - the vehicles, however... Particularly because there's probably going to be something like 20 or so - odds are that some of the supercars, luxury things, or whatever mandatory weaponised BS vehicles () we're getting will cost several million each, easily.

[Rafae]

Can't wait to see YouTubers dancing to silence in the nightclubs because of copyright issues

[Tez2]

It seems R* is going to extend the discounts in this week with the Independence Day event ?

I could be wrong.

Godspeed to your theory.

 

I grow tired of waiting, I want info, and if I had info, I'd just want the update out.

[ddarko12]

Has an update ever launched without 1-3 week prior qabeta update?

[Lupo-Akane]

Be nice if it was but idk....

on the other hand I'm going to enjoy the show when it does drop.

yeah best case scenerio universal laptop + a wall with stats for all businesses (like those big monitors in facility)

I also think clubs will be cheap. But upgrading them will be quite expensive (thats how they get you). I imagine we have to pay extra for combining businesses as well. "Pay 900k to connect your bunker with your nightclub" kind of thing. 

so lets say:
Empty club, only brick walls = 1 ~ 3 mills (depending on localization) 
Club upgrades. Walls / theme / dance floor / lights / speakers / bar / staff / vip zone / bodyguards = anything between 500k~5mills (or more)
Business room with a laptop and a safe = 1~5mills 
Connecting CEO / MC / Bunker / Hangar = 500k ~ 2 mills each
sleeping quarters = 500k~1mill

probably extra rooms (like armory / heist room / garage / helipad ) = anything between 1 ~ 5mills

There will never be a map expansion.

Map expansion is unrealistic at this point, I agree.

But I still think they can do something to refresh freeroam after all those years. 

- small map changes (like they did between VC and VCS). New cargoships, new ramps, billboards couple new interiors and buildings
- replacing npc cars and changing their spawn colors

stuff like that.

Almost certainly not going to happen - R*'s going to be giving out the Guest List free money from the 3rd to the 9th, and IIRC, they've never updated the game during something like that. If anything, the fact that said money will arrive for all players by the 9th would suggest it's more likely that the 10th is release day.

 

Beyond that, they've said that the other Guest List unlockables and rewards are happening later in July - that helps narrow things down a bit, because there's got to be at least two event weeks after the update comes out (they've mentioned bonus cash from $100k to $350k - two different amounts, hence at least two event weeks).

 

That means it's either the 10th or 17th for the update, no later (and I'm more inclined to think the 10th) - because the 17th leaves the 24th and 31st for two weeks of post-launch events and rewards (and it sounds like more than just two, IMO).

R* even did Business combo for the Biker Update.

you can view the supplies and stock of every biker business on the clubhouse laptop.

i think we will get a laptop with a selection like the CEO Computer after Import/Export, but you select the business and can then view the stats or even buy and sell.

Inb4 instead of one universal laptop R* put individual laptops for each business type in an office, so they are all in one place but we still have to check everything separately.

Im more with the idea of one laptop with the different bussines in menus. You could manage them from that laptop, like fill them or start missions to pick up stuff, but for start selling missions you would have to go to each place and use their specific laptop.

That’d make the most sense, you can manage everything except sales and maybe upgrades(and research?). Unless we’ll be able to just bring all the supplies to the nightclub

I hope they are not that lazy... but I wouldn't be surprised. Tho I still think its gonna be just one laptop with different tabs.

But speaking about R* logic I was thinking - what else can they screw up this time?

@Fun 2 said something about a freeroam mission that lets you steal different crates at the same time, right?

What if nightclub is just that? A special delivery mission?
You combine all businesses so you can sell all your stuff at the same time. Downside? Profit is cut down -15% and you risk losing everything.

Watch you be able to view them on your phone in game, but it costs $500k each time lmao

Sounds horrific.

 

This is now my level of expectation, so I hopefully avoid disappointment.

As per the Newswire post from the other day: "Aggressive expansion is the key to any successful enterprise, and Nightclubs will soon provide you with a means to launder your criminal cash."  I'm wondering if this means our earnings from the CEO warehouses, IE, Bunker, Gunrunning and Hangar will now have to be laundered rather than be able to 'use' it straight away. Rockstar are known to sometimes add buzz words that have no literal substance or effect on a subject matter, except this stands out a bit too much to be a nothingness- and the fact the business properties are still heavily discounted could merely be paving the way for Nightclubs (Expected to bit somewhat expensive) to be mandatory in order to turn business money into money you can actually spend ingame...  This would be quite a shake up. 

Edited July 1, 2018 by MajorVienna

[Nihilist.]

Yup, I also try to avoid getting too hyped in fear of the update being bad. Like, you know, every DLC for the game released after I/E.

 

Even if clubs offer us new opportunities to make money instead of just combining what we already have in the game, the truth is, it's going to be more of the same most likely, the same way hangars are reskinned warehouses, and bunkers are just new biker businesses. I don't expect much when it comes to the gameplay aspect of the upcoming update, however I will try it out anyways, since a club is a ctually something I have potential interest in, which can't be said about military bunkers or underground facilities I absolutely loathe thematically.

 

At this point it's a question how profitable the new business type is going to be? Hangars are useless exactly because of how little they pay, bunkers are by no means the main source of money - they're just supplementary business like biker ones, and cargo warehouses are super tedious and grinding goods ruins your office. So we're left with export garages, being the only business that really matters on its own.

If it's yet another weak property type not really competitive with I/E profits-wise, clubs will most likely be just a temporary trend like hangars. And I sure hope they won't - I'd like them to revitalize GTA Online at least a bit, bring some life to it.

[Mexicola9302]

Only speculation but we probably will be able to sell our stuff in the clubs, for the same money we would get if selling normally. But it will be all passive without any actual sale mission. We just bring our stuff there and it takes a few ingame days till it's all sold. So we never have to sell our biker stuff again, in damn post op vans.

[Gridl0k]

^ It me, multimillionaire owner of 120 cars and 100 other vehicles, selling drugs in the toilets like I'm f*cking Matush or some sh*t.

 

[Pedinhuh]

I'm hoping they finally update our phones as well, the only function that the securoserv app serves can be used by the invites app.

 

That app should be transformed into our business management app, with that we should see how much crates, cars, supplies and stock our business have.

[JAKEBAB]

Ideally we'd get a centralized warehouse that we could supply and sell from, with npc's auto distributing supplies and product back and forth from warehouse to business.

Maybe they could spare 6 interns and a project manager to turn iFruit into something useful for GTAO while they're at it. Imagine controlling your empire from your actual phone.

add to that new themes, new themes and couple new features (upgraded mugger or RC drones for example) 

and maybe mobile mini games as well. Like the one from from the office. Something to kill the time while you wait for the cooldown to end.
