Next DLC Speculation Thread Mk VII

[R3CON]

@Piro Ahh, you quoted RyuNova who said this:

 

"Also another addition to my Thruster MkII prediction. Its small enough to warrant a "Stealth Mode" like the Akula has.

Make both the Thruster and Akula redundant."

 

Which I attributed to you since you were in favor of the idea:

 

"As  long as it looks differently, works differently or has a retro feel to it Im all in. Lets just hope it won't be a simple copy like spampressor mk2..."

 

I apologize for the misattribution. But I do disagree that Online, by default of not being Story Mode, automatically has to be wacky and unrealistic. They added the Jetpack in last year with Doomsday, as you note, and I wasn't the only person on here (or elsewhere) who had problems with it being weaponized. The Jetpack as a concept isn't the problem, it's the proposals that it's weaponized and stealthy that's the issue. I just find it misleading to cite story mode lore as a reason for online additions, when the Jetpack in San Andreas was not weaponized and could only ever be used against NPCs. Bringing it online and adding weapons directly impacts other players which is not the same situation. 

 

You misunderstood my line of reasoning against the horses and the weaponized, stealth Jetpack as being against anything that isn't cars. That's not the case. Never said boats or motorcycles or planes or helicopters were problematic, for example, as they fit GTA perfectly fine. I'm against your logic of adding wacky and irrelvant content simply because it's Online and not Story mode. Content such as tuners, mansions, and casinos are not new ideas by any measure but at least they're examples of content that could be featured in this game that fit the present-day major city vibe of Los Santos and it's mountainous outskirts. 

 

I too have often spoke about how adding more weaponized content - like oppressors, deluxos and in this case jetpacks - create an environment where players feel vulnerable in anything else. I lament that myself, so we're on the same page here. It's good to utilize non-weaponized content hence the purpose of my reply to you in the first place.

 

I'm just questioning the use-case and desire to add defenseless horses in the first place when I'm not really sure what you'd achive with them. Or what you could do in GTA with a horse that you couldn't do in Red Dead. At least in Red Dead you could get the full features of the horse (stables and core maintenance) without worrying about how soon it'll get destroyed. What's the point of adding them here? Just because....? Okay I guess. 

 

I didn't mean for this conversation to draw out this long, however, as it doesn't contain any valuable speculation or leaks. I hope we've reached an understanding as I'm gonna take my leave.

@R3CON 
jetpack: you need some skills to use it, can't spam them all the time, easy target, limited ammo.

oppressors: no skills needed, practically unteachable, no cooldown, overpowered missiles

Thats why we never see people on jetpacks. The real issue is balancing after all. No one ever asked for Oppressor mk2 but we still got one... But since jetpack is so iconic I think it deserves mk2 version with better customization and new features (not necessarily stealth tho)

Why horses? Well as I said:
- that "horse heist" for gta already exists, it was just scrapped before they finished. But now that they can port horses from rdr2 they could easily reuse the whole thing, low effort.
- fun new feature for old game thats become stale a long time ago. They could also use them for adversary modes
- the experience would be completely different in gtaonline. Jumping over cars, machine guns and all that

I guess Id just rather have crazy horses with miniguns guns in GTAO then in RDRO.

Calling it now, it’ll be the same thing except they’ll throw jet engines on the sides instead of the dinky little fans it has now.

Stop requesting weaponized sh*t

I am already not looking forward to the dripfeed

[Kiwi_91]

weaponized stuff is not what i want, but i know it will happen. because it sells. if people don't like the look of a certain car, they won't buy it. but any car that has op missiles or bombs. anyone will buy just for the practicality. i'd be so happy with a dlc of just 20 normal cars. but it's likely not going to happen

I honestly wouldn't mind drip feeding, except that we know about all the vehicles right away, thanks to the PC update files being discovered so early.

 

If it was kept secret and we had no idea what we were going to get, it would be far more exciting, instead of annoying.

What awful in the dripfeed? R* just want that players logging into the game each week. We anyway get content they did though slightly lately than we expect. But yeah, if expected content was delayed for week or more this is really poorly, i don't argue with it.

Whether they decide to release it as surprise or announce it.

I'm not too concerned with what comes over the horizon except how many more Suns?

I wouldn't mind one last big DLC. Something great to keep us happy and then just small, rare updates with patches and QoL things.

Next update is a new business and a map expansion. Tahiti: Mango Farming.

No no no. It's gonna be the not so wanted naval DLC where you have to collect crates in the Alamo Sea and navigate your TUG down the river to deliver crates to LSIA. You have 10 minutes!

[No Homing]

@WildBrick142 Will you still have access to the update's files with the models of vehicles a few hours before the release or did R* make sure no one can access that now?

I'm surprised at the lack of Star Wars vehicles. I'd be quite up for an AT - AT

[GTA ONLINE COMPANY]

What if there no DLC, no snow or Christmas items this holiday! We haven't heard anything from ROCKSTAR as far as an heads up... I personally don't believe a DLC is coming until next year... Qabeta stopped updating and that could be because maybe they'd want to wait until after the new year to push it out...

[Yellow Dog with Cone]

Before requesting more Mk II versions of vehicles like the Thruster, first R* needs to rebalance the original Thruster. Same with the Oppresor, Buzzard, Rhino and literally all vehicles in this game.

 

Also, not everything needs R2K missiles, Stealth Mode, Countermeasures and Explosive Cannons.

 

Although we could use more vehicles with Barrage Missiles lol

[TCMike]

Lobby options could solve a lot of problems too...

Screw Mk2 vehicles and other weaponized crap that require no skill to use.

What this game needs is freemode lobby settings/filters, more Custom tuners at Benny's and more PvE content (survivals, heists).

 

The only Mk2 acceptable is Assault Shotgun, Combat PDW and AP Pistol. Maybe even a Baseball bat.

I would settle for just more speed in Mk2 version, that's good enough for me. Slightly different look maybe and remote MG or minigun will do for me. No need for OP missiles, so stealth should be ok too.

Automatic Shotgun with explosive slugs and an electrified Z-Whacker please!

[No Homing]

I want a Cargobob Mk II with a much higher top speed and the ability to carry more weight.

And a Scramjet Mk II with Barrage Rockets.
