Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

[Zak Ras]

Given Fun's warning, it's just reminded me of something I've been doing for 2 months, cause I saw other people doing it.

 

Let me state a few things;

- I have been playing GTA Online since Oct 1st 2013, (Day 1).

- I have not bought a Sharkcard since December 2015.

- I have not taken advantage of anything in the Spoiler.

- I have never had this many Just For You's in such a short space of time.

 

I can't decide whether this is Greed, Luck or a Helping Hand, but it is EVERY JFY I've been offered for the last 62 days. What do you think?

I just hope they arent exaggerating. I struggled to spend more than 7 mil on AH, 3/4 of that was the club and garages themselves. At this point we need an Ill Gotten Gains style cash sink, it's kind of stupid how we don't have that yet. I mean, not only would a mass of luxury sh*t to buy be good for sales, it would keep people engaged especially with dripfeed bc if its good content its good content, people stay interested especially if every dripfeed week we get good content and not run of the mill garbage. I never understood this "add this way to make money" "add that way to make money" adding a whole bunch of ways to make money BUT not giving us more crazy ways to spend it. There's a point where it becomes pointless because you're just wasting your time making cash that you may never use. If they stopped adding updates or just gave us menial crap from here on out I'm pretty sure I'd stay above 70 mil til GTAO gets cut off, if ever. I just don't get why they're holding themselves back, they act like they've run out of ideas when theres a sh*t ton of ideas they haven't tried. How hard is it to give us a crap ton of sh*t to spend 10s of millions on? Why wouldn't they wanna do that if shark card sales are so important?

 

I'm basically just wishlisting here but this seems highly convincing to someone in need of cash to buy a shark card:

- beach house - 5 million

- mansion thats customizable - 10 million, mods make it to 15

- 30 new cars (theres hundreds they havent done, shouldnt be hard to select 30) - thats easily at least 30 mil-50 alone

- planes, boats, helis... dont even get me started that reaches 10s of mills easily

 

A game with a focus on making cash should not be boring when it comes to spending it, it should feel endless.

We are in the same boat. I legitimately own pretty much everything, sitting at over 100 million. I can't motivate myself to make money if there won't be anything to spend it on.

yeah! I think we need a luxurious theme dlc...
- mansions
- beach houses
- luxury vehicles (cars, boats, motorcycles,)
etc

I've been thinking since Fun said that "20 millions and i (Fun) think it will not be enough" and his tweet about: "safe your money for the summer dlc" seems a indirect hint about what we can't expect from this dlc. Look at this point: 95% of the dlc's were crazy expensive...so why saying with so much emphasis now that "keep your money in the pockets and 20 milllions could not be enough"? Maybe bcz it will be a property that is really expensive and what can be really expensive? ----» a mansion! XD A man can dream.

I'll buy a $50M mansion, but please for the love of all that is holy, give it a pool table and a bowling alley lane or 2

[Irish45455]

If 20 mil isn't enough, my only guess is mansions or dummy expensive cars with even dumber expensive upgrades. Isn't much else I can think of that would cost as much, unless it's some new business that is gonna wipe out bank accounts to get set up and up and running. 

[Pedinhuh]

20 million used to be the average that each update costed for all items, but @Fun 2 saying that's not enough leads me to believe that this amount is for meaty part of the update.

 

If that's really it...Then they are going all-out on this one, so I'm going off on some wild guesses here:

 

-Mansions;

 

-Casino;

 

-Docks for naval freight businesses;

 

-New warehouse to setup our own Tuner Chop shops(screw it, I still believe we are getting a tuner DLC now);

 

-More overpowered memed crap that will be essential for doing the new businesses;

 

And then some more expensive crap to waste money? Like more Benny's vehicles? I hope they're still doing that, there's a Peyote inside the shop begging for a conversion since 2016.

The only reason we still get dlcs is because they sell sharks. With that in mind, the entry level for everything they have brought out is always 1 or so million and more to upgrade it. So I don't see it being any different this time. Except if they are luxury but none-essential items such as yachts or the luxor deluxe jet. But I don't think many buy sharks to get those. So if 20 million isn't enough, then I think that means not enough for buying more than just the essentials.

[ddarko12]

I don't know. I'm not trying to discredit them but... I think the whole "unexpected" is actually what we expect but know we'd never normally get, which would be a good thing. Otherwise I really doubt I'm gonna sink 20 mil into this, I mean had I not bought 3 of every modern car from Arena Wars I wouldn't have spent that much, maybe 15 mil max, and it was one of the most satisfying updates for in me a long while. It'd have to be really big... really good. If it isn't houses, casinos, a huge fleet of expensive cars, I really do not know what could possibly require more than 20 mil for the avid spender.

this.

 

all recent updates where way more than 20 mill to get most stuff.

i don't think this update will be any different.

 

you will be able to get some stuff for a more "reasonable price" ranging from 1to5 mill ( cars,maybe a building) but to buy everything it could total more than 30 mill.

just like recent updates.

 

what fun said could be that 20 mill will not be enough to buy EVERYTHING. but that has always been the case these last few years.

so his tweet does not necessarily  mean that it will be an update with more expensive stuff than usual imo. ( over 20 mill for just the entry level stuff)

The properties themselves are usually under $10 million even fully done. Maybe it will be different for this one, but I'd venture a guess a lot of that cost will be from all the vehicles too.

[ddarko12]

I feel like they hold themselves back too much if they really "try" to keep the entry prices around 1 mil. Because then it's like it's not as good as it should be.

it's more rockstar's habbit of just doing a half assed job with their stuff no matter the price tags.

the most expensive yachts where almost 10 mill fully maxed and even than it was just a spawn location with no mini games.

 

they could have added a simple pool table in the stilt houses and they would have been better. no need to raise the price of  the house for a pool table or a mini game in a safe house.  what is needed however is more effort from rockstar.

 

raising prices for essential content is the last thing we need these days.

best part about this rumored filler update is that it may contain some hints in the files on what's coming june/july

Where did the rumor come from, because Repo felt like a filler to me. Is it solid that they will do that again, rather than go big?

 

They usually discount 'everything you have ever wanted' after several weeks of double events so people spend-out, then discount the fish cards and offer cashback prior to something big.

 

That has fitted the pattern this time.

What if the adversary mode update came with an adversary Creator? That would be cool. Then people could make modes that I keep seeing the 5M guys have on PC.

They don't offer mini games on the yacht or pool in the houses because while you are doing that, you aren't spending money on stuff or in lobbies padding out jobs and events. It's a business, they don't do this for our benefit. Our enjoyment is kept at a level sufficient to keep us coming back, but it's never the primary goal.

Well can't see that happen really, being able to create a mode of your own be pretty complex I can imagine. However creating a map for existing modes shouldn't be a problem.

I doubt R* would ever do that, Adversary modes are litcherally the only thing R* has without them they're NOTHING, CANCELLED, FINISHED

Pal...i can agree with you that AH dlc passive income bussiness was came at handy, but i dont get if you're talking about the bussiness itself was "liberating" or everything in the dlc was. If so...explain me bcz i dont get.

 

I didn't say anything about the business itself being liberating. It's dull as ditch water. I adore the stafford, the rest are meh cos of the flags, like the bouncy swinger. I associate Patriots with Arnie and just laugh. I could never own one. I entered the nightclub to mod it, then went in one more time, and I've never been back since. I've never even heard a single song in the whole DLC because I play with the music off. I walk out of Exceptionalists Way, go next door, upto the office and trigger a sale. That's my only interaction with it. The garages are limited because they are so gloomy, so only white or liveried cars look good in them so I use them as a dump for junk. The popularity has been zero since week once because the supply missions are also mindnumbingly boring.  i said the daily half a mil income was liberating. In so much as each day I was finally earning more than I was spending, which freed me up to explore more of the game. I don't know what liberating means in your dictionary, but I'd say it means what I said it means. Each to their own. I don't do pi**ing contests. The only place I'm competative is on race tracks.

This is very close minded. There are a bunch of great adversary modes. This sheep mentality that "all adversary modes suck" is silly. People have been creating their own "adversary modes" for years that just happen to be made with the race/dm creators because it's the best thing we got to work with. People love them. 

 

All of those "car vs rpg" maps? Adversary modes. Those "climb the mountain with stuff falling down" maps? Adversary modes.

Idk, seems to me based on the props they use, they just use the mission creator.

And out of very few good ones the rest suck, than you have ones that ripoff the good ones and do such a horrible job that it gives the rest a bad name...

 

Sheep mentality pfft, AMS suck and trying to sugar coat crap is just as bad...

That'd be nice, but I'd be amazed if R* used nothing but the Creator itself to have made all of the Advesary Modes in game right now. Maybe a few of the simple Team 1 vs Team B Deathmatch style games.

A (good) Creator would allow us to make them golden. Give any community in-game Dev Tools and they'll come up with modes that R* employees can't get through the bosses.

I agree with the second half, but the first half you said that all of them suck. That's painfully wrong.

 

I can think of 5 really good ones from the top of my head.

My favorite adversary mode is Bombushka Run

[Yellow Dog with Cone]

When a bunch of fellas in FiveM can make more impressive Adversary Modes than R*, hmm...
