Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

Why the obsession to force people to play against or even with each other all the time? Just let us play these modes solo against NPCs.

What irks me the most is that NFS: World, a free-to-play and strictly online game, actually allowed you to play any event with NPCs if you so desired, at reduced rewards. But, you know, the option was there if you wanted it - not here.

 

Spoiler

Which brings me to my next point and that is that, to me, the concept of Arena War is actually quite alright and I do like it. Plus, I did enjoy all the modes there were. The potential for great fun is indeed present and I can never take that away from Rockstar. Thanks for all the hours you put into making these and for the free content that someone else paid for.

 

What killed the update for me was the fact that no activity was available for you to play on your own. It is fun, yes, and me and friends had a few laughs at it. But that's where it ends.

 

I get that GTAO is the multiplayer component of V but, sometimes, I want to play it without having to waste my time and sanity with the rest of the obnoxiously daft playerbase. I mean, I never joined a match where someone didn't take the entire 1:30m of preparation time to choose a vehicle to use. Just pick the Deathbike already, I know that's what you want.

 

Carnage with NPCs, to readily launch whenever I'd like sure does sound great. Unfortunately, ain't happening for now.

 

The way they seem to be taking things, by enforcing quantity (endless barrage of adversary modes and mandating you to play with as many people as possible in RDO) instead of quality (choose exactly who and how many people you want to play your game with), I don't see this trend stopping in any way - it can only get worse from here on out.

 

The next update being most likely a continuation of this certainly isn't that exhilarating.

Rockstar sticking to old methods when the industry is evolving and moving forward.

...the problem with it is that it's plain simple.

...Weapon stats or any other factors aren't considered in the possibility of landing their shots.

And that is the lazy programming part. The refusal to evolve and usage of simple statistics. To add insult to injury, they tend to buff NPC damage as a whole and not the gun damage (so no matter what NPC you fight, they'll do the set amount of damage which is a lot in DDH even with their measly pistols). Since they also ignore weapon statistics in general, they tend to ignore maximum ranges and hence you get pistol blindfire snipers.

I though that nitro for cars was the main reason why people wanted Tuners dlc, right?

Nah, it's the underground car culture (NFS:U2, Midnight Club) that make people want a Tuners DLC. We only get a brief look at this early on in our character's days in that first street race with Lamar. After that, the races feel arcade-like with no soul and reason to play them (other than to complete Daily Objectives).

In other news, I'm pretty sure a lot of people will be pissed if the nitro is a 500k paywall with "trade price". I'd rather it work like the SA and TBoGT nitro and not like the Arena War one. What happened to regular car upgrades that were affordable and cheap in LS Customs? I remember the original vehicles having less LS Customs customization prices depending on the class of the vehicle, now you have to pay full price (Super tier) for every vehicle. Sh*tstain shareholders.

The idea of an RV or livable trailer sounds really exciting as long as the interiors are not separate from the overworld (a la Terrobyte, Avenger, MOC). I'd like to be able to move in and out without a mini-load screen and observe the environment around me. I think some of the trailers in Backlot city are also enterable?

Always loved the idea of living in the wilderness in some remote area.

- week before dlc drops
- day before
- couple days before
- 10min before
- 10min after
- whenever they want 

But they always upload it privately on youtube first so thats a good sign.

Actually is not mandatory the qabetas stop being updated to a new dlc from what i have noticed since 2016 (at least for 2 and 3). QAbeta 2 and 3 have been continuously been uploaded for years now.

That doesn’t mean anything anymore. They could easily release the DLC this week. I’m 50/50 on a March DLC after we didn’t get any info last week. If it doesn’t come this week I expect we will get it early April.

i thought if it gets updated that means no dlc lol

[MARINA]

I know almost everyone here hates advanced flags but since I don’t see them ever being removed or changed I just hope in the coming dlc we see a tidied version of the 40000 bouncy flags (arena war version) because some of those vehicles handled fine imo (Deveste Eight and Clique) and I want that continue so we keep getting fast vehicles but im also fearful that these coming vehicles will suck due to a sh*tty flag version or we’ll have another SSASSS or Nightclub nightmare with just lousy cars

[Spectre "2K"]

i can't wait for this round's flags to be an intentional version of the infernus classic and 811 turning glitch

A lot of people on here think that. It’s a common misconception.

No please no. More bouncy cars less engine dying. 

[TheFireFlash]

Since Rockstar and some of the community likes the handling flags, i have a proposal to make. How about we get an option like we have with the Helicopters in the game: smooth, sport and race handling. So basically everyone who wants the handling flags could just buy them as an option in LSC. Problem resolved.

Do you guys realize that the speed of these cars are basically a glitch instead of something intended, right? Like they're curb boosting all the damn time.

 

Like, I took the Deveste Eight for a Stunt Race the other day and while the understeer was manageable (I actually liked it) it was near undrivable on the loops.

 

Just remove the damn advanced handling flags and call it a day, I'll rather have to deal with curb boosting scrubs again if that means being able to actually drive my cars instead of fighting them.

Good spot!

 

This one post is the most exciting one I've seen in weeks. It hints to me the possibility that we may be getting a proper DLC soon, hopefully Thursday.

 

Guess I'm just an optimist lol.

Not quite, the speed is a result of the suspension compressions that occurs among all vehicles. The reason the Arena War vehicles are so fast is because when they bounce due to the flags the suspension compresses multiple times causing a massive speed boost, whereas other vehicles just compress once (and maybe twice). The bouncy flag value also gives vehicles extra traction (probably to correct spinning out on bouncing) which is why when some of the vehicles drive on a curb they turn slightly, it basically makes them handle like on rails but bouncy.

You my friend have a hell of a eye

 

 

I really hope they fix some flags. Half of my cars I don't even drive because they are to slow or the back end if going from side to side so bad I feel like i'm on bucking bronco or something. And I know it was talked about before with the way online is now a days, but I drive my cars almost all the time. The main reason I don't is to take down a broomstick griefer with my broomstick. Then I go back to driving my cars as soon as it's safe to do so.

An update with customizable RVs and vintage trailers would be comfy like a mothahucka.
