Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

[Thehunteroftruth]

Do you think we will still see 3 updates this year? This long dreadful wait isn't a good sign for that and considering we are going to get most likely another meaningless racing update, I'm honestly clueless how they are going to get the player number high.

In my opinion R* is the only game company to be afraid of using their products potential to the max, you can't honestly tell me that a mission/survival creator would be hard to implement at this point, considering people already had access to it previously, and guess what? It would be so much better than any trashy low effort dlc idea they may have in mind.

Well your picture kinda proves our point, mostly lvls 8-80 - People who just started playing gtao and are testing AR for the very first time... everyone else gave up a loooong time ago (bc of unbalanced bikes, ridiculous grind and not enough content).
If you wait long enough ofc you will find 16 people who don't know any better... With that logic I could "prove" that parachute jumping or old adv. modes are still very popular and relevant ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 

I dare you to post a screenshot of a full parachute lobby.  modes die, and when they do you will *never* find a full lobby again, I have sat in lobbies for hours on end waiting for what you claim happens, waiting for new people, not gonna happen, meanwhile I do still find full lobbies for Arena War, because the mode isn't dead yet, to some people a few months old is still fresh, most I thought, but there are still plenty of people already *bored* with the new content...

also, I know I'm new here, but is this thread always full of hate for the game?  I can't even enjoy my time here because every other post is a sh*t post about how every dlc is sh*tty and there was never one good thing added to the game...  that's getting kinda old, I wanted to report a few but there is not off topic or sh*t post option in the report menu...  if sh*t posting and off topic comments are allowed I might have to find another forum, or (gasp) reddit...

No matter how good it is or how easy it is to implement, if it doesn't align with their "vision" for this game, it won't happen. Same goes for everything else too as well as RDO.

Yeah, can't have fun if the shareholders have none.

The horting races would be interesting on a top view 

Just make that in 2d and place arcade machines around the map and inside the Arena. Having something else to do then spinning that wheel would be great.

And also pool table!

See my first post on this page. "modes die" is exactly my point. Arena War is obviously not as dead as parachuting since its a new content. But just as I said before - apparently its dead for most people who played it for longer then two weeks. Probably because bikes are OP, grind is ridiculous and they added like what, 8 maps or less? 

So I'm not surprised that majority in here says that AR is dead for them at this point. I would be surprised if it wasn't.

They had the tool to hide props since day one, and only released it in a scaled down version a few weeks ago iirc.

 

Like we can now remove lampposts and some fences, and they can renove every prop.

you can't have it both ways, you can't say Arena War is dead then ignore the people that say they find full lobbies all day...

Hot Ring Vice City style is something that should be implemented, not more Max Mad bullsh*t. 

I like the future shock ones, they look really nice with that cyberpunk vibe. Although my favourite arena vehicle is by far the imperator (because it can look stock without any rust, and is a muscle car godammit muscle is always win win).

And its still active cause its the newest content in a very popular game. "Dead" doesn't mean "literally no one on earth is playing it anymore!".

No mate, that is exactly what "dead" means. Nobody is playing them. Seems you are the one with the skewed definition here just because you get bored easily.

 

People are playing the modes. This means they aren't dead, not yet by a long shot.

This would be lit, a 2d nascar game, an asteroids knock off, maybe something like pinball as well. And not just in the arena lounge, we could have one in the office as well

My bet is only 2 dlc this year summer and near christmas, since they want to do RDO hmm, but could be wrong though, hopefully they would scrap RDO to hide their shame it's still in BETA anyways lol, and just move on to bully or like i said last year a 3rd person (with 1st person view also like GTA) war/action games like the division, wildlands, syphon filter in PS1 or conflict series especially conflict global storm like in PS2 with R* resources i'm pretty sure they will put EA and COD out of business because battlefield and COD doesn't have a 3rd person view, imagine the game called VALOR man papa sarwar and zelnick would make cheeseburger rich with that sh*t

 

But they won't listen so yeah back on topic 2 dlc this year imo, could be wrong though just a hunch, the credible source here is fun or wildbrick those are the trusted data miners round here imo

Honestly don't really see too many jets nowadays anyways. They moved on to the Mk2 or a handful of folks still use the Deluxo 

i have been using my jet more often again, i finally figured out how to maneuver and dodge that ultra accurate missiles of the deluxo and the mk2s super funny to bait them into attacking me only to see them running away once their missiles are over.

 

the other day i owned a session for an entire hour, fighting off waves of mk2s, they had no choice but to waste 750k in a orbital cannon shot to get me out of my stealthy bright pink hydra

I was just responding to another post about players not joining jobs but I think a big reason people think modes are dead is because of the garbage matchmaking. You can host and sit there for 20 minutes waiting for players to join. Choosing quick jobs from the phone works a bit better but players like to host their own jobs. So when they see no one joins they assume the game is dead.

You can even join a big crew like MP3 or something with millions of players and still no one joins. The game is just not sending the invites out.

The game send the invites but most people dont see them. Sometimes i miss jobs like doomsday finales because i am not paying attention to the left corner.

Could be the reason. I always join through the phone, never host. Best way to get full Stunt Races and Arena Wars is by joining their respective series. 

 

Good thing about the Arena is that it doesn't really matter what options the host picks, it's pretty much the same regardless.

[Tez2]

The matchmaking system prioritize who's closer to you over other players. I don't understand why won't R* add a server browser or a match browser to solve the problem.

Anyway, Arena War didn't do well, count the likes & dislikes and you'll notice they are all below 3 million players.

The Doomsday Heist brought more than 5 million players within 2/3 weeks. 6 million players have played each Dispatch mission if you count the likes & dislikes for each one of them.

The player base isn't dead, it's just R* missing opportunities left and right. FiveM aka role-play mod is becoming popular on twitch.

We are talking about a game that's still making lots of money 5 years later and with so many opportunities wasted that could have made it way more popular.

If R* do something like what EA did with Battlefield 5, by having another studio make a battle royale version of BF5 but instead of "battle royale", make it "role play" then that may guarantee GTA5 to stay in the top ten games list 5 years forward.

I see this all the time with races, sometimes it's almost impossible to get one person to join so you can fill up the lobby before race nr two and other times I get half full lobby right after invites are sent. Sometimes when no one joined I just go to freemode, host up again and suddenly people joins.. Matchmaking is a mess

                                                                        

Edit: one thing I've noticed that might explain some of the problem is that it sometimes seems to invite the same people over and over again instead of trying to invite more and more players

I'm sick of selecting race and then I'm drawn into a transform or stunt races instead, even though they have seperate options, to play those race modes, I mean what's that all about. 

[painwolfgamer]

i can see 3 updates a year happening every 4 months, but if they do 3 updates a year they will have to add more content for dripfeeding so iam expecting a slightly bigger dlc than usual march dlc (maybe that explains the long gap since the december update).

Can't say that's something that happens to me, but might have something to do with settings. Have you tried setting matchmaking to closed in the pause menu and also remain host if you're hosting your own? 

Might misunderstanding what you're saying but this was the first that popped in my head

You can dodge deluxo missiles on a hydra ? That thing is cluncky as hell, never seen someone dodge them on it. 

The only jet i use is the bersa, i bait the op mk2s into thinking i am a threat because of the icon lol.

Fun is there a possibility that they swap the dlc contents like instead of big dlc in december we get it now and smaller dlc in december, since lot of things are changing after the rdr2 release like they will give the december big dlc slot to rdr2? ( i mean it makes sense since they want people to play rdo online so good time to release rdo dlcs in december)

I get easily bored or you are easily pleased?  Yeah... lets just ignore the fact that every time you bring this topic up (even tho its not rly related to this thread) everyone disagrees with you and says that you live on a different planet, to the point where you decided to stream your gameplays... same was with SSASS and every other similar topic. So don't throw at me that "you just get bored easily." response m8. Don't snap at me, you're a mod after all, have some class. 

And I'm not the one with skewed up definition. I personally never described AR as being dead. I would probably describe it differently. But for some reason you guys just have a very hard time understanding that when people say "this mode is dead" they mean "this mode is dead to me". Just like someone who quit gtao will say "nah I'm not waiting for next dlc, this game is dead" 

You guys are very anal and literal for no reason. I feel like I'm talking with Drax from GotG...

But let me just check out AR section of this forum. Oh look whats almost on the top:

If you guys rly want to have this conversation over and over again why not create a poll with "Is AR dead?" and no explanation. I wonder how people would vote then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maah... according to my definition not a single Mad Max/DIY vehicle is a "Meme vehicle"

Meme vehicles = something that doesn't exist irl + something thats intentionally OP with super accurate missiles that you can't dodge (like flying deluxos and oppressors for example)

And I think most of this forum agrees with this definition

 

To be fair, I do get that "Meme vehicles" are technically limited to the likes of the Vigilante, Deluxo, Ruiner 2000 and the Oppressors, but I consider half of the military tech we've gotten in past updates kinda memey. I guess that'd be the willful ignorance on my part I mentioned earlier.

The same reason they won't add custom lobby options or at least non-militarized/peaceful pubic lobbies.

It doesn't benefit them in any way and they're lazy when it comes to QoL features. They'll only work on OP stuff to lock behind paywalls in hopes that it appeals to tryhards/kids and boosts their Shark card sales.

You'll find most kids play the sh*tty races modes, like transform races, stunts and AW. Rockstar seems to keep catering to this demographic, unfortunately, the adult gritty crime ridden adventures, are long gone.
