I just saw an Instagram ad by Rockstar lmao:

 

"Don't forget to join the Guest List for special access to weekly bonus GTA$, exclusive Liveries, new T-shirts and key discounts. Log in to #GTAOnline anytime this weekend before July 3rd to be automatically added."

 

Ugh I'm still thinking 10th but half of me feels like they're gonna surprise us! I don't think so though because they said "tune in for more info" so basically if they don't make an article tomorrow that rules 3rd out obviously.

3rd is almost certainly out of the question - again, they're giving the first bonus money out from the 3rd to the 9th, so the update won't happen until they've done that.

[Guest]

^ I think so, too. This "access to weekly bonus" thing looks like they'll roll out some nice trailer next week and officially start the run towards the DLC. We'll indeed get some interesting event/boni/discount week(s) more or less teasing the nightclub theme or the NPCs involved. two weeks? three weeks? Puts DLC release to 17. or 24. in my book. The infamous qabeta testing will in that case start this week, and everything goes its usual course.

 

Of course I'll not frown upon a release on the 10th either.

I'm gonna bet ya, that we won't be able to buy Bahama Mamas (and Tequila-La-La) and it won't be even available in freemode, but it will be like Lost MC Clubhouse that will only unlock during some mission or something... It's dumb and shouldn't work like that, but it's Rockstar, you should expect anything from them.

 

That’s exactly how I see it happening. I don’t see Bahama Mamas, Tequila-la-la or Cockatoos opening up to the public. Tequila-la-la is way too small and with barely any possibility for modifications. And Bahama Mamas’ dance floor will drop you to blue hell if you don’t know where to step. I don’t think they’ve dedicated that extra time to fix that club.

[Gaffa]

I'd just guess they're going to be currently unusued / unmarked buildings that turn into a Nightclub when you purchase them (working similarly to Clubhouses and Businesses with those premises), which in turn should allow players to name their nightclub. 

 

I mentioned in the "What will you name your nightclub" topic about how it would be comical (at least to me) to walk up to the Bahama Mamas location (as an example) but after walking inside it's named something completely different, as per the player's choice. One thing on the exterior and something else inside would be a bit of a facepalm moment. 

But then again it's Rockstar right...  

[AUScowboy]

Weren't they doing something with BH in the code? I thought that was why it became accessible again all of a sudden.

[SideStunt]

What if the Bahama Mamas’ interior will only be used for a nightclub resupply mission? Like stealing the club’s DJ or booze?  It sounds very logical, doesn’t it? Similarly to the Lost MC’s clubhouse near the horse track, being used in a biker contract. Hmmmmm, nightclub contracts? 

 

I bet that certain infamous people will see this and make a bunch of videos, I guarantee it.

Again, I reckon 10th isn't impossible, 17th is a safe bet - any later, and they'll struggle to get enough of those Guest List event weeks in!

 

Oh, and big PSA to anyone trying to save cash: DON'T BUY ANY OF THE NEW VEHICLES ON DAY ONE!!

 

R*'s confirmed discounts on the Pounder Custom and other stuff besides, so it might be worth holding off buying stuff and seeing if you can get things cheaper a week or so later...

Turns out "impossible" *isn't* spelled "imposisble" - who knew?

They will definitely update the collision, for sure, it's five minute job, the thing is, they said that we will be able to customize our club. They will basically have to redo everything for it to actually work...

 

Also, something really small but at the same time huge is going over people's heads:

The one that will be introducing us to the nightclub business will be most likely Tony, but Bahama Mama's is rival club to his Maisonette9 and Hercules! Unless he bought the BM chain, which I doubt he did, we will most likely see BM as purchasable property...

[ddarko12]

eh well 3rd is too soon then but in my book it's either 10th or 17th. 24th is just being pessimistic though.

[KingBen]

Anyone think we may have to rob the clubs like Bahama Mama's and Tequilala to supply our own personal nightclubs with stuff? It would be another use for those nightclubs other than just Public clubs for everyone to dance in.

Bahama Mamas will open to the public.

Too much work and R* knows it. The game is almost 5 years old, why would they wait that long?

And clearly neither Pumpkin nor Alan saw that so who gives a sh*t?

I've been thinking about the whole business consolidation side of the update and can see how crates, air cargo, Gunrunning and all biker business product can fit. That could be delivering product to the club or wholesale sale missions of mixed cargo from the club or another method.

 

But I can't get my head around how I/E cars will fit into the equation?

I suppose that the crates and cars which are tied to the office stay in the office.

Could be as simple as cutting the crap out. Their system of one computer in one place, with one "secure" website each, to do a single thing is dumb. One app in your phone to monitor/do everything would make everything smoother. I hope to god that they'll get rid of the sit down, press Enter and click login on those computers too... If I'm using the computer, it's to source or sell, not just to sit down.

At the bare minimum, I just want to be able to see the status of my businesses from my phone without having to drive to each one just to look.

I think, regarding businesses, the club will give you the ability to buy supplies and start supply/source missions. And that's it. You'll have to deliver them to their places and start the sell missions from there. No product/crate/car is gonna show up at the club. 

 

My guesses.

I was thinking about how much time it takes to return to the securoserv terminal after every drop off. It would be a lot faster to just be able to source materials on your phone. Having to fly back to your office, run to the computer, sit down, source a thing, run back to the exit, yadda yadda. It would save a lot of time if you're running crates back to back.

Personally I'd rather the Mobile Ops Center live up to its name, instead of doing jack, since you don't "operate" anything from there except turrets, a few missions and a workshop. Make it an actual mobile base, that you can control your businesses from.

As long as the Avenger get the same treatment. The MOC is a not so mobile garage space for me and the Avenger is a lot more practical.

Anyway, I actually kind of hope we get the daily Tweets again before the update comes out, but who knows what they will do. I just hope we get an official announcement on Tuesday, or at least one more hint from Yan or possibly R* F*ggot, if he feels like coming back to Reddit or whatever lol.

tweets would be amazing again.

 

couple of tweets each day showing off some club stuff and new vehicles. (mostly the vehicles because i just want that  ) 

i hope (but i doubt) that they will show the improved jester classic with new and better mods in either the trailer or a tweet. 

[Shadowfennekin]

I'd much prefer tweets about vehicles honestly

We don't have any idea what the vehicles look like, I wanna see if we're getting any real cars, not just super class cars.

The Yellow Jack-Inn interior is even smaller and it's open to the players, at least Tequila-La has 2 floors and the basement.

 

This next update it's the perfect opportunity to open more interiors to the public, open Tequila-La, Bahamas Mamas, Vangelico and many more. What's the point of having these sites only as set pieces for missions?

I hope so, that resupply mission is just awful anyway.

They'll just flud the streets with Baller LEs, just like the Huntley S in current-gen SP. I love driving them & I like the exclusivity factor of them, for once a car I enjoy is not on every corner lol. #Selfish
