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.

 

Virtual high five coming your way. I still enjoy doing the occasional survival. And hunting pack and Entourage and so on. I don't need huge dlcs on the daily.

I ant this, yes.  Street racing dlc with lots of cars.  Race at night.

Sometimes you need to get back to basics, and just a DLC full of new and old ILLEGAL STREET RACES without power-ups or fancy stunt pieces, some form of smaller, simpler Street Racing Rank like Arena War (Maybe 1-100), that offered underground upgrades to cars like Nitrous, and greater ramming ability (like the Kuruma during the Fleeca Heist) that could be used during these races. Because they're technically "illegal", you'd be expecting other players to play rough, but to balance this you get extra cash for doing less damage to other players when you cross the line.

 

And of course, new super, sports, tuners and muscles would be up for purchase, combined with an "Underground Racing Lockup" and all the upgrades on offer would push Sharkcard sales.

 

Furthermore, to prevent the multiplayer only issue, include AI drivers, for slightly less payouts, to incentivize multiplayer races.

 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)_/¯ 

I'm good brother nobody is snapping. Apologies if I seem to be aggressive about this, it's not my intent. Maybe having a rough week Is guess idk. 

 

Anyways we can agree to disagree. I don't see this forum as an indicator of what is popular for the game or vice versa, I just go by what I see when I play.

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. 

Is it a cool Internet thing to say that only kids join something you/others don't like?    (not meant as serious as it might sound)

Can't say anything about transform races because I don't play them but in R* created stunt races 90% of the people I hear on mic are adults but in freemode it seems like 95% of the people on mics are kids.. I'm not a math expert and there's of course other factors but those numbers is a good indication that it's not mostly kids you find in the regular R* stunt races at least

This can already be done

 

Ideally, what they need to do is add specific classes to races such as Drift, Drag, etc.

 

Seeing as the modding community have already shown they can apply/tweak physics for creating a Drift performance, there's no reason why Rockstar can't do it.

 

As for Drag racing, its plain simple. I'll take it straight from my concept; All vehicles perform equally. The skill is in shifting up at the best time possible in order to gain an advantage.

Guys, you know, there's a way Rockstar gives us what we want. Uninstall the game and ignore it until Rockstar comes to his senses. ONLY that will help. 

[AUScowboy]

This is the least I've played the game since I started. Was excited for RDO but my experience with that was so terrible I'll likely never give it a second chance.

 

I'm sure I'll pick up again as soon as the next DLC drops, but part of me wants to thank R*. I've gotten so much more little stuff accomplished lately! I'm guessing we'll hear something at the beginning of May, starting to look like April is a lost cause.

I feel like I'm the only person on earth that doesn't have a single issue with the explosive jet guns.

 

After the explosive sniper, complaining about them is stupid.

 

And I'm the opposite of a griefer, before you go on a rant about that.

Its true, that since the explosive sniper rounds were introduced and given that the Hydra and Lazer did NOT have their amour increased to match those of the newer aircraft, no-one can say that jets cannot be countered.

Sure, while they still have their explosive cannons, they're considered OP.

 

My proposal, as its always been:

 

Remove explosive cannons (or replace with those of the Rogue, but I'd still advocate for the former)

Remove explosive sniper rounds.

Increase Lazer / Hydra armour to that of SR aircraft. Add countermeasures and bombs to match.

 

Can't really see how anyone could have a problem with that.

[Saiyam]

I still try to find players to play good old grounded races tbh... 

[RetroStyle]

To make street racing truly great they need to also update the "Impromptu Race" feature. Bigger betting on races(5-50k+), penned in style passive (to eliminate griefers) and more options. Coupled with a new garage property, and F&F inspired missions, R* could make gtao more fun n well rounded imo.

I know there's still FMJ Rounds, but the Explosive Sniper is basically the Anti-Air countermeasure Ground Players have against aircraft, especially if you wanted to give the Lazer & Hydra SR Armour even with their cannon nerfs down to Rogue levels. Granted, removal of Explosive Rounds leaving us with just the FMJ's would prevent ragdolling in Sniper fights, but then again... most Sniper Fights are full-auto with the Marksman Rifle.

But these are not the point.  When we had first business, no one was saying, “we don’t need another business.”  Well, some maybe, but you understand what I am trying to say.  If we are talking about what DLC we would like to see or think is coming, saying “you can already do that” is besides the point.  Also, there really is nothing like a, how you say it, street club like racing in the game.  Just because you can set up a race like that from a menu (which players won’t do), is not the same thing as a whole update centered around it.  Ras had lots of good ideas, at least I think so...

I can't remember the last time I saw a Rogue grief some ground players with its cannon.

There's been some extensive backlash against how weak the B-11's cannon is.

If there's still an argument for keeping explosive sniper rounds (in this scenario where the Lazer and Hydra have their cannons removed), then I'd say it would be against something like the Starling (fast, hard to hit and lethal if you master nose diving with missiles) or the Avenger.

 

Anyway, ON TOPIC - I doubt very much any of this will occur in future updates. I can only hope.

However, I doubt we've seen the last of military aircraft.

To be fair, it's kind of hard:

 

 

I agree that at the least R* should nerf the cannons on both the Hydra and Lazer to Rogue status while keeping the same rate of fire, maybe.

Well, R* is messing with the daily objectives with the next update, so there's a chance we could see improvements to features like that.

[Piro]

Feels like at this point people don't even care when dlc will drop. No excitement or disappointments, no predictions. Hype train was completely derailed by R*s secrecy.
Not surprised tbh. I kinda forgot about it myself

Well I would say that its still a good indicator of whats popular and whats not but we have to keep in mind that its a place for hardcore fans. Casual, normal players don't post on forums, they don't know that dripfeed is and they surly don't play as much as we do (or at least not as much as we used to). So obviously people in here are the first ones to complain about something being dead.

It would be cool if they replaced daily objectives with something bigger, something that would be similar to daily freeroam events, daily missions like business battles or time trials.

I remember you said theres a limit for freeroam events. Maybe they are using daily objectives as a workaround for that?

When we're all living in 2019, this lad lives in 2022 when the size of GTAO is 300 GB and all of the updates are already in game: Tuners, Naval DLC, Liberty City map, custom islands and all of the stuff we want.

Jokes aside, install size is around 80GB if I recall correctly.

Also if I remember correctly, the Heist update was 4.8GB, that 100mb difference isn't really that much.

it was only a little more than half that (2.8gb), the rest of that download were patches

 

could probably post the sizes of all dlcs and patches so far (the actual ones, not the totals that the consoles/launcher shows) if anyone's interested

How could RS give everyone everything that they want?  If you no longer want to play game, makes sense to uninstall it.

Yes I am interested, I thought it was 4gb, what do you mean by "the rest were patches"? Like the content was just 2.8 and the rest was bug fixes?
