[MeisterJazz]

[Fennimoe]

Meh... RDR2 has my interest at the moment... I can't even be bothered to log on for the shirts

[Jason Frost]

The B-11 Strikeforce being discounted for the third time since being added some months ago is irrefutable proof that it sucks and that it needs to be buffed (and nerfed in some areas too).

 

I dunno dude. Both the Hunter & Akula were discounted 7 times each this year so far.

 

Actually, this is the second time the Strikeforce has been discounted since it came out ... Just like the Lazer. 

 

Both the Deluxo & Stromberg has been discounted 4 times each this year.

 

I don't think being on sale have anything to do with a vehicle's suckness or awesomeness.

*The Hunter went on sale a month and a half after it first came out.

Finally got my hands on the Sanctus that not only looks cool but burns rubber worthy of the Mamba,

and also the Fränken Stange that just gave me an eargasm with this unique motor sound 

 

Curious whether they get the Inferno weather out tomorrow; they should have done so last year, but probably then they feared it would stress out session performance too much. However, they have beefed up weather/atmospheric effects anyway those last months, so maybe we do get a surprise tomorrow.

 

But I can live with the aforementioned two as only highlights. Seen worse event weeks, even if admittedly not around a popular holiday and an anniversary  

[Lonely-Martin]

Decent t-shirt for my movie collectio. But I'm really engrossed right now, lol.

 

Up to rank 913 now though, chipping away.

[DarkReign27]

There's a lot of stuff they could have done for Halloween, damn like there's zombie animations in the game already. Costumes using already in game stuff Idk even set it to really dark night in freeroam for a little bit, something but its all repeat stuff they can easily change those values, change cloud colors to spooky come on be creative damn it.

 

Advesary modes till the day this game dies, Benzies I guess had all the ideas for Coop related content or actual non Advesary modes he took with him. Hmm they could have added a horde like thing with the aliens like single player drug trip for coop just something not VS.

Exactly. It's just stuff they've released before with some double pay on some Halloween-themed adversary modes that aren't even new. Nothing new. Nothing interesting.

 

Just lazy.

[Man Of Mayhem]

Must admit I thought they might of  made it a little more interesting especially just after the release of RDR2 to maybe tempt you into logging on for an hour or two but nope just the same old recycled stuff. 

[Taterman]

For Halloween, a coop similar to Survival but with zombies attacking and only limited weapons to defend might be cool. Especially if taking place at night.

[Lupo-Akane]

Finally some kind of cool looking shirts.

But still noting new other than that....way to kill the holiday R*, they flipping suck at doing anything.

Yes! Imagine if R* had done just that. Just created 5 new survival maps (plenty of areas on the map to choose from), same mechanics as old Survivals but only forced+pickups. Exchange enemy NPC's with the clowns and aliens from SP. Put on the druggish-filter and/or enable Halloween weather effects.

 

So easy to implement. Really, couldn't be easier. I would gladly have that in exchange for every other Adversary Mode we've seen this year. Why don't they just use their imagination and come up with something fun? The goofyness/crazyness-limit has already been passed long ago, so I can't see what's holding them back. It just boggles me. I can't understand it.

[Lupo-Akane]

Would have been nice for some Halloween style missions, mbe like a halloween style survive but instead of being stuck in just one area for it you have to hold one area for 2 or 3 waves and than move to the next area to hold.

And long the way picking up ammo and saving npcs for better weapons. 

Could have 3 or more areas you have hold in one game, unlock some clothing, weapon camos, and stuff for doing them. Maybe even a cool car unlock if you do them all.

Sadly it’s been the norm now for a while. The weather from that transform race inferno would b perfect for Halloween even if it’s just for 1 night. Some pve modes w/ zombies/aliens.  But like you said it’s laziness or just not caring.  So many missed opportunities to use stuff already in the game

Up to 927 here. I have barely done anything in the past 3 days but somehow I managed to rank up 5 times.

Nice, so much better when it's more casual.

[Guest]

Grabbed myself a Franken Stange again, because discount. Used to have one before, but sold and never rebought one, until now.

Same goes for the Hustler. Grabbed me one and customized it. Now off to RDR2 again

And they could call it, I don't know, "Survival"... but no aliens, more realistic, throw hillbillies and cops in the mix, have about 10 of them around the map with rounds which gradually get harder...

Yes but I meant halloween themed something for halloween that was cooperative atleast something themed even crazy npc hillbillies with only melee in dark buildings.

[Deadreaver]

Again, R* failed to re release the 'Vampires on The Beach' and 'The Simian' movie shirts.

[Piro]

Another year with nothing new... if R* doesn't care, why would I care to login anymore?

No Halloween weather? I had a feeling.

 

But snow they have no problem activating every year.

funny part is modders can activate that weather with a click of a button, no problem.

Rockstar definitely care, but it's against their corporate policy to have a team of developers constantly tweaking the game and making little changes and improvements. Maybe they believe it dilutes their brand, and it's better to only release major updates every six months, and new games after many years? I personally feel that this approach is out-of-date, and I would like to see tweaks and adjustments to GTA online on a weekly basis, much like Epic do with Fortnite, for example. I would also like to see more publicly available developer tools, and the ability for regular players to make changes to aesthetics such as wall colours, graffiti, and visual changes. In the meantime we're in the doldrums of potentially several years while Rockstar builds up expectations again. In fact, I've never liked Rockstar marketing.

That is something that  i was waiting for so long, but it seems they forgot they had a Survival mode in GTA online, and its funny because there is still people playing that mode

they do that long ago in Undead Nightmare,  some PVE game modes would be great....but  well another year and that is just an illusion, like women dresses 

 

Plus i can't believe they missing the opportunity to add Witch hats, i mean with the Opressor MKII it would be an interesting combination xd

And a decent witch-cackle-sound as additional horn option at LSC  

 

This will drive the "no-to-GTSims"-tough-cookies soooo mad

Seems like contact missions are on doubles and Stunt Races too, or some at least.

 

Edit: standard Stunt Races only and the contacts are only double money, why do they do that?

 

Oppressor mk2 is on sale at 2.2 million, oh joy.

I'm at work, so I can't look right now. Contact missions are double$ and RP? If so, awesome. It'll inspire me to hop on more this week.

Just double cash on the missions, races and client jobs are 2x on both cash and RP though.

 

I don't get it, but R* logic. I'm keen on that 1k, lol.

I don't get that one, either. lol. My goals are to rank up to 500 on 2 characters, not GTA$ It'll still be good for newer players, though.

 

Edit: ALifeOfMisery's weekly thread says double $/RP on contact missions.
