What should they do to rekindle interest?

[Jammsbro]

At this point we have all done everything in the game a hundred times. So (outside of a wishlist) what should they do to rekindle interest.

 

Obviously content would be a must. But what else. A friend and I were saying that if they reduced prices on everything it would bring back players that stopped playing. Mainly due to not having to grind for a week to try out one supercar that they everntually shelved anyway. But I think that would only last a few days.

 

So what could they do to bring players back? Mission creator would work but they are seemingly completely againt anything that takes you out of freemode. But I still think that giving players control of the game would work most at this point.

[J-Scott-D]

Removing the stupid advanced flags.

 

More new liveries for older vehicles.

 

Benny's wheels for everything. And new wheel designs, especially muscle car wheels.

 

Lost Slamvan.

 

Helicopter drone.

 

That would be a good start.

Release all the arbitrarily locked away content, like the cop outfits, garbage outfits, Benny's wheels... etc.

This. A thousand times this!

[Big Molio]

Release the mission creator. GIve players the chance to make foot races. Get rid of Bad Sport points for weaponised vehicles

 

On the last one, I had a great time earlier playing Oppressor wars with a few other players. You know, happily in the corner just playing each other and razzing round the city trying to get each other on the Oppressors, not bothering anybody else going about their business. Eventually, after about £200,000 in insurance costs and the fact that I was now a "dodgy player" I had to back out. Stupid.

Freeroam survival sessions.

No minimap, no blips or icons, no access to owned assets, no weapons at start (ok maybe a melee weapon or pistol), if you die you're out for 48 mins (1 gameday).

Events around the island to influence battles

(If possible) Dangerous weather

 

Rewards based on time survived, objectives complete, items extracted (gotta be a way to survive survival right?), enemies killed etc.

Add more substantial content with a narrative tie-in like Doomsday and After Hours. 

[kenmy13999]

Remove the advanced stupidity flags or at least adjust the values, the D8 is a good example that they can actually function in a acceptable way..

 

If they're not going to give us the option to have worn crew colours and bennys rims on all cars, at least stop patching harmful glitches that makes us able to have it or wait a week or two before patching..

 

Enable so we can finally remove lamps and signs when making races etc, even better if we also could remove fences and other obstacles like that 

 

Mission and survival creator 

[RyuNova]

Release an update where we can play as the Cops and allow players to police their own Lobbies alongside the AI Police and be rewarded for it

[Jenkiiii]

What Rockstar needs to do is stop adding more and more bombastic content that edges GTA online closer to full-on Saints Row IV retardation, but if they did that, and concentrated on making the existing game more realistic and consistent, they would fail to attract so many new and casual players, which is how they earn the majority of their income.

 

The reality is, GTA online needs to keep on 'expanding' in order to survive, and this will no doubt entail future alien invasions, zombie uprisings, and other crazy/unrealistic themes. Personally, I try to accept it and embrace it, as I eventually did with Arena Wars. We can't complain too much, but just have to be patient until GTA 6 or a major map expansion is announced.

 

[REXX]

Add mah faking taxis!

[Standard Deluxe 59]

For car collectors at least, a property cap removal. For others, I don't know maybe buff the mission payouts? 

[Urban Legends]

"Load GTA Online as Law Enforcement" lol

 

Release a vehicle the Mk2 has no chance of killing unless there are like 5 of them "UFO"

 

 savage type animal roaming the map occasionally. Like bigfoot. If you cross its path itll kill you. You cannot kill it.   

 

Casino! Duh

 

Map expansion. San Fierro or Las Venturas

 

I want to f*ckin hire NPC for heistS like single player to avoid NUMB SKULLS

 

Air warfare.. Aircraft carriers

 

Being able to disable phone calls from business contacts? LJT is reallly pushing it

 

 

 

 

 

[White Shark]

A law enforcement and vigilante DLC which is geared to anti-griefing, crime fighting, and civil defence, complete with police uniforms, police vehicles, and super hero costumes and vehicles.

[Sanches]

In order to return my interest to this game, it's way too much to fix/remove from this game. But i'm down with new playgrounds.

For this to stop....

 

The Needs of the investors outweigh the needs of the fans.

 

 

[dragosani00]

Get rid of the Opressor Mk2. I used to play daily until this totally overpowered griefer's toy came out. It's the one thing that made me look for other games to play, I just can't be bothered having to swap lobbies every time some small child jumps on one and starts killnig everyone. Even when not outright griefing most riders who accidentally lock on tend to blow you up in passing anyway just because they have no self control.

[kenmy13999]

Think also a lot of people would like to be able to sell products in invite only sessions 

[HamwithCheese]

Damn, I got a list. We get killed so fast. Not by other players, but by npcs. Tone their sh*t DOWN. Use tear gas or Molotovs to make things interesting. 

 

Less restrictions across the board. Clothing, business, bennys wheel, everything that has a needless restriction. 

 

Make older things just look better. More specifically regarding cars, some cars have sh*t custom options, have interior colors locked off, small wheels, glaring bugs (re7b ahem), fixing these things alone would get me excited to play.

[ilovefreebird]

I'm simple; I just want a new map. I can deal with all the bologna they throw at us, but it's gotten old cruising the same streets for 5 years.

[Lonely-Martin]

Much of these have been mentioned (and some is new content ideas really), but a few bits that'd see me just enjoy the game that bit more all round...

 

*Property caps removed. (A dream for me - Add many more cars/bikes/aircraft too of course).

*Unlock all rims and those light shades to all mod shops, more liveries to old vehicles too.

*Flags gone, getting a bit out of hand that.

*Business access from any lobby choice.

*Mission/survival creator, with competitions and verification on a regular basis. Proper snapmatic competitions too, videos even.

*Pegasus vehicles and business' being sold, but if we sell a vehicle, the custom variant stays in our hangars/garages.

*Wildlife/hunting side missions. (Though RDR probably wants to keep that, lol).

*Minigames where money isn't the aim. Pool, bowling alleys, basketball and the like.

*Casino, as a heist or for a flutter, maybe even both. Horse/greyhound racing there too.

*Rewarding challenges like CMM and such, maybe restructuring the arena AP rank unlocks too, that's nasty!

*The ability to share business earnings, even if just among crew members.

*Street racing to be reinvigorated, Midnight Club style.

*Taxi, vigilante, paramedic, and fire rescue and the like to return to the franchise.

*Areas like the construction sites to build up and offer more diversity in LS.

*Access to North Yankton.

 

Could probably go on more, lol. So much potential even still after these 5+ years.

 

Oh yeah, no passive in weaponised vehicles, no BS points or fines for fighting them too. Well said @Big Molio.

 

And sh*t, I forgot a good one. Those poxy phone calls. That's it, I'll stop now.

Let my character get fat on realistic steak, then utilize Muscle Beach area to get ripped. 

 

Outdoorsman activities up north. Pets. 

 

Bowling.

[Gdiddywilson]

Funny how ppl keep saying players are leaving when they are certainly not. I wanna see some statistics supporting it. Everything I've seen points to GTA online being just fine. Unless you think everyone else must feel bored just because you do. Look at the numbers of active players by searching online. The are a sh*t-ton of ppl playing this game every day. Period. Fact. Done.

I like that. I had the thought of something similar, but a ruthless “Exterminator” type character (a riff on the Terminator, in LA obviously) but who was nigh on impossible to kill and who would roam the map for a period off radar trying to take out the players.

[thepiebaker]

New map for one, new contact missions for second. And better outfits for third.

Edited February 24, 2019 by thepiebaker

[Rumblebud]

Maybe something that has the player push a potentially huge risk...like...stock trading, casinos, gambling...playing with randoms!

 

Eh...it was a bit of a risk posting this, so...

 

But on a more serious note, they should totally bring stock trading into GTA Online.

Hmm maybe bring back decent dlcs like the ones we got in 2015 to 2016?! More contact missions and less overpowered and expensive content that doesn’t make sense. Making blacklisted Items and vehicles avavlible for everyone to enjoy. Just a few suggestions that might bring ppl back into the fold.
