Those are the DJs friends.

"ig_djbla" = Black madonna

"ig_djsol" = Solomun

"ig_djtal" = Tale Of Us

"ig_djdix" = Dixon

I saw that lady behind Tale Of Us in my nightclub.

The last one was used for the intro cutscene when you introduce Solomun to the club, clearly a GTA Online character that look like a DJ

Yeah, like how they've started using GTAO player character assets for NPCs (the podium dancers, too), as well as for NPC clothing - Lazlow's hairstyle, jacket (Bikers), etc. are all from GTAO player characters, The Black Madonna is wearing a GTAO player character leggings/sweater combo, Dixon's shirt is one of the new club ones, Carmine (one half of Tale of Us) has a Smuggler's Run-style jacket, Tale of Us' manager is wearing a modified Ill-Gotten Gains leather jacket (minus the fur collar), and so on.

 

Also, they really are their actual real-life friends/colleagues, right down to the unique likenesses - "ig_djsoljakob" is Jakob Grunert, who's a music video director and colleage of Solomun, "ig_djtalaurelia" is Aurelia Ortiz, Tale of Us' manager, and "ig_djblamryans" is The Black Madonna's agent, Ryan Smith:

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty neat addition, R*!

I wish we could just get the Menacer out of the way. A little more time before the

B-11 drops would make me feel some sort of hope for a buff/rebalance.

Be nice if they'd back-port some of those assets to us after they put the work into making them. One of the podium dancers is wearing leather shorts. They've got like, glow in the dark tattoos or bodypaint, too, it looks like.

Oh, yeah - likewise, it's frustrating how they did a great job on all those likenesses, but couldn't add anything better for players than a bunch of palette-swaps and recycled prints on old items.

 

Heck, there are even a few minor errors with some pieces - so not only did they pass up the chance to do anything new (for a nightlife update, of all updates), but couldn't make the 'new' versions of existing items match the quality of the originals (many of which are assets from half a decade ago by this point - !!).

 

 

The only vague 'sorta-kinda' justification is that where vehicle artists aren't all going to be needed for RDR2 (unless they're also environment artists), RDR2 probably needs more than any R* game so far, in terms of NPC variety, crowd density, etc. Therefore, it's probably 'all hands on deck' for the RDR2 character art team, and that'd explain why GTAO character customisation items have been pretty rough/lacklustre for ...maybe two years, now. 

(y'know, with RDR2 nearly here, it'd be nice if R* could ...maybe reassign some talent/resources back to GTAO, then - if they're going to milk players for microtransactions, at least make it worth our while by not cutting corners and neglecting aspects of the game, eh? )

the bodypainted dancers both have outfits you can copy exactly, minus the bodypaint. They don't have special clothing on, it's just the lighting makes them look a little odd colour wise. EDIT: I WAS WRONG! You can copy the dancer on the Right side perfectly. The one on the left has clothing in colours we don't have (white shorts with fishnet stockings, White studded High Heel Boots). You can get close tho with substituting her white outfit with black or mix n matching.

Aurelia Ortiz looks much prettier in that picture than her in game model suggests. I had actually wondered if she was one of the guys from Tale of Us' girlfriend or wife, but it makes sense their managers would have some deal where they get to be in the game too lol.

Yeah - my reaction to hearing it'd be out soon would've been brrrt, but now it's more blegh.

 

The gun's not fit for purpose, and the A-10 is the gun. When you see a juggernaut survive a good half a minute of sustained fire, you realise you're not delivering freedom, but fake news - a fraudulent impostor of the real thing. It's like a car without an engine inside. A helicopter that doesn't fly.

 

With the release that soon the chances of them making it work are probably more or less zero anyway.

Yea, I've "rescued" or picked up nearly all of them in different missions already... they're pretty fun missions, actually lol!

[Alvarez]

I will buy the B 11 for its quality as a flying tank and barrage missiles, so it will at least live up to be the Su-25 Frogfoot of LS skies.

As for the cannon... I think Rockstar will eventually buff it.

[MisFit-138]

     So, we have a revolver with a slightly slow fire rate and now a stone hatchet with rage ability. You guys think we're getting a 'cowboys and indians' adversary mode? Think about it. 

     I also think a 'dance off' vs or adversary mode with Bahama Mamas as the backdrop may be in order.

[CarimboHanky]

off topic

 

those of you that have done the dance for 60mins award by rubber banding the controller, how do you guys did it? do i have to also leave one of the buttons pressed?

 

im asking because today i rubber banded my right stick and left my guy dancing while i was doing stuff at home and my progress only when from 30/60 to 31/60 after like 45mins of dancing.

If you're on PS4 press X to the beat until you get to maximum intensity then rubber band R2.

 

That's how I got the awards.

[Shadowfennekin]

I was really hoping for the Freecrawler

I'm not buying anything else apart from the Terrorbyte and Oppressor 2.0 until they get the standard 25% sale most sh*t gets within 1-2 months

The only new things I have are the hummer limo and my Burgershot blimp

 

It's not like I have much time to enjoy the new stuff anyways.... considering I'm locked in Epsilon hell trying to get this stupid shirt.

 

[Skullkicker227]

Just give us the Terrorbyte and stupid meme bike already. Actual garbage that the business consolidation aspect of this update is locked behind a f*cking drip feed.

im always cool with the dripfeed aspect but on this case, it simply sucks the fun out...

 

its like smuggle run dripfeed allover again, you get hyped for something but by the time it gets released, sometimes months later(looking at you hunter) the excitement is pretty much gone.

Thing is though, the Terrorbyte hasn't officially been announced, it's been datamined and everything, but there has been no official announcement from Rockstar that this vehicle and it's capabilities are coming.

As far as Rockstar is concerned you're waiting for 2 more DJ's and bunch of cars which you don't exactly know what they are, because Rockstar releases are never dictated by what is datamined by the community.

Yeah SmugglersRun dripfeed was bad, but it wasn't as bad as AF... The problem is that they barley added anything new with the initial release. At least with SR we had new things to do. 

Imagine how Doomsday Heist would look like with AF styled dripfeed

Week 1 - you get facility and first prep mission.
Week 2 - prep nr2 and new radio 
week 3 -  two dripfeed vehicles and helmets 
week 4 - first setup unlocked 

Months later - avenger

Hmm probably gonna replace my personal Titan with it.

[korhan332]

in my opinion in the next update (not the filler update that update probably will be about cars, I'm Talking the major one) we are not getting a new business because we had a lot of businesses maybe they do something like doomsday heist or maybe they release the cancelled I'm not a hipster 2 dlc ? (I Think that was cancelled) or even but maybe they release a non-military dlc (even I'm not a hipster 2 update may incluce military vehicles so..)

I Don't know but My senses telling me we are not getting a new business so I Hope we can actualy get an "Bİg Update" (I'm not counting the after hours as an big update)

[Valance]

Do anyone here think we will get more cars in the next update? beacuse i really want more to my collection

I think there is less than zero percent chance that the next will be an update with cars. Not a single car. Just spacecraft...

What? The After Hours DLC is not a big update? We have a huge club. Many cars will come. 4 DJs, many new little missions, competitions, a new weapon, new clothes. And later big new missions will come for the Terrorbyte. Did I forgot something?

I'm just going to translate this post a bit.

"How dare you call after hours a small update. We got a club that offers a minimalistic dance minigame and a place for the helicarriers character to relapse into alcoholism over a f*cking t shirt. We have 4 different soundtracks for the clubs, new cut and paste source missions, cut and paste freeroam missions, a reskin weapon we have 2 other copies of, a hobos closet half full of halfsssed reskined clothing. And later on the same source missions we've already had from a replacement for something already in game"

Yes some new bikes that should be very welcome.

 

Insted of those opressors.

They can keep the bikes unless we're getting something with decent speed and acceleration. 90% of the bikes feel the same in game and if you ask me we don't need reskins.

[RyuNova]

How long before we inevitably seen Ironman/Anthem style suits or Mech Suits.

What will come first? Ironman Suits or Mech Suits?

Gargoyle glitch still works tho. Thats better then nothing.

Knowing R*? Exo-suits (aka super punch cheat from SP)

But I would prefer wingsuits and rocket boosters for parachutes.

...actually you have a point.

It would be very easy to add as well, works like the Ballistic Armour and just gives you the Super Jump, Super Punch and Super Speed Cheats from Single Player.
