What should they do to rekindle interest?

[Cavot]

There's quite a few I could think of.

 

1. Give us more weapons with unique abilities. The Up-n-Atomizer was an unexpected and fun weapon with a utility aspect to it. Need something like a flamethrower or deeper weapon customization (under barrel grenade launchers, higher zoom scopes for other weapons, etc).

 

2. Release all the unused adversary mode clothing into shops. There is an ungodly amount of unused clothing made for adversary modes that have yet to be utilized and they add more with each update. More customization is always attractive and interesting.

 

3. More freemode events revolving around PvE. Have players come together to take out large and heavily armored convoys for a reward with PvP disabled within a specific proximity until the event is over is an example I could think of.

 

4. Benny's wheels for every car. This is a stupid restriction.

 

5. More missions and survivals. Both of these modes have a lot of potential, especially with all the new interiors and vehicles that have been added over time. Why not put a survival in the Merryweather hangar from Setup -Avenger and keep the lights off? It would be interesting.

 

6. Let players have the option of choosing lobbies that show player blips at all times or disables them, similar to free aim and auto aim lobbies. Give players a bonus for selling goods in disabled player blip lobbies as their cargo would be revealed on the map. Higher risk but more rewards and it mixes things up a bit.

 

7. Open more interiors. There are many locked interiors in online freemode that realistically shouldn't be, such as the police station. Allow players to access these areas. 

 

8. Do something with the ocean. The ocean is incredibly detailed but isn't used at all in online. Maybe place business battles in them?

 

9. In invite only, allow animals to be present in the world. It's a shame that the animals can only be seen in single player when they would more than likely work just fine within a freemode session with less players.

 

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

 

 

 

 

[MsBrandi]

They can add some new story related missions like lamar missions but, this time it's different, how? By combining every aspect in every missions

Mission 1 : heist type of mission

Mission 2 : land race type of mission 4 of us must win against AI driven cars to win pink slips etc

Mission 3 : survival type mission, humane labs survival, subway survival, hippies alien park survival etc

And so on

 

I also would like to see a fist fight deathmatch not like custom made but rockstar created, and races like drag, mille miglia, grand tour, road race, rally time attack more land races less stunt sh*t also a cop chase would be nice with the police using emp gun that charges like up and atomizer 5 shots and the car is smoking and stopped but it's better be like PvE missions rather than adversary bullsh*t, i want to relax after work and play cop chase not baffled about the PvP bullsh*t

 

And they can add some stuff that players requested these last few years like mansions, naval, street racing etc, i want to see a selling missions where we can get 1m solo in I/E with customzied packer

 

I also want a kind of hub where we can store aircraft boats and cars and bikes which kinda fit as a mansions or a lair like batcave lol, which is also a new business type of selling cars

 

And fixing the cargo glitch, drone photo mode in targeted data, the sinking gold and diamond in robbery in progress and diamond shopping

 

Also new vehicles preferably the sports classics 50s - 80s, sports cars 90s - 10s, super cars, suv, muscle cars, fast 4 door sedans, i mean there's a lot of decent cars but all that they add is just restomodded crap cmon now where's the comet classic, dominator classic, porsche 550, ferrari 458 360 488, bmw b7, plymouth barracuda formula s, ford gran torino cobra jet, toyota 7 race car, alpine a110 present version, jeep trackhawk, mercedes g63 amg, AMG project one, mclaren speedtail, ferrari sp1 monza

 

and so on just don't add the spacesheeeet alien cars man, like x80, i never touch that stuff it's horrible

 

TLDR more rational vehicles (land, sea and air) with the addition of the "remastered" old stuff like survival land races contact missions etc in a story driven missions like lamar missions

 Damn straight, i would love to see this happen. I shouldnt have to glitch them on at this point, they should be available for all vehicles.

 

Also silly clothing restrictions.

 

[whywontyoulisten]

Still think the only thing that can save this game is co-op public lobbies, where you can't kill or be killed by other players. The "green dot" friendly fire mechanic is already in game, so it's achievable. Either that or a "consensual combat" option, where you can fight if you want, but need to opt-in.

 

Nothing is more off-putting for a newbie than getting blown up by an Oppressor every 5 seconds in every lobby that they join, just look at the Facebook comments. So much for exploring this fantastic open world and interacting with millions of other players. Cut the payments maybe, but just make it fun.

[Hécate-II]

For me it would be-trying to stay reasonnable-that R* returns to "Rockstar Verified Jobs" and add missions and survivals made by players this way. 

 

Also ofc change the content policy. Have you ever compared the adv modes list to the contact mission list? Its crazy how so many adv modes were added over the years when only 6 new contact missions were added(very lately) with Dispatch set. 

 

Resumed: instead paying dudes to create new sh*tty adv modes every month, assign them to check player made jobs that are popular(excluding cancer parkours...lol).

1. Give all cars (if not all then just the SSASSS cars because they're beauties that literally have  under the hood) the 40000 value (bouncy suspension) advanced handling flags (the one all Arena War vehicles have) in addition to adjusting the suspension so that the cars don't bounce all over the place or flip (like the Vamos) and ensure they stick to the ground like the Clique and Deveste Eight. Why do I want this? Because this specific flag value allows for those extremely fast vehicles like the Toros, Clique, Itali GTO and Deveste Eight. Cars on this game are WAY TOO SLOW and this change could give us much quicker vehicles and with some adjustments, I truly believe it could work.

 

2. Allow the developed section of North Yankton to be utilised in creator so that we can make mini races, stunt races, deathmatches, LTS', etc.

 

3. Add the aircraft carrier to free mode, equipped with heat-seeking SAM missiles.

 

4. Bring back crate drops and armoured trucks.

 

5. Bring back Benny vehicles.

 

6. New visual and performance upgrades for older vehicles.

 

7. Up the bounty limit from $9,000 to $50,000.

 

8. Nerf the P-996 Lazer and Hydra by giving them the cannons of the B-11 Strikeforce.

 

9. Buff the Annihilator helicopter by giving it more armour and giving it the explosive cannons it had in the GTAIV series.

 

10. Re-class vehicles in this game appropriately.

 

11. Create more of the better fairing game modes and where applicable include vehicles that have the same special functions such as the Scramjet and Ruiner 2000, ie. Overtime Rumble, Deadline, Slasher (original), Stunt Races (original) for other classes such as; sports classics and not just sports and supers, etc.

 

12. No passive in weaponized vehicles.

 

13. Change the Oppressor MKII homing missiles to the one the original Oppressor has, it does NOT need homing missiles that accurate because it's too OP and ruins the fun for many people.

 

14. (some will hate me for this) nerf the RC Bandito in free-roam. It is far too strong for an RC car out of an arena situation, it would but fun except for the fact that trolls and griefers use it to ruin the fun for others in the lobby.

 

15. Release the Lost Slamvan to own as a personal vehicle.

 

16. Bring back all of the GTA 4 vehicles. I don't understand why they aren't all on here yet? There's literally nothing wrong with them and they're already built...

 

17. Allow us to store, modify and race Emergency vehicles! We have the RCV which is an emergency vehicle so give us the rest!

 

18. Ditch the spoiler traction bonus and make that traction bonus applicable to certain tyre types instead, it would make more sense that way... Give all vehicles downforce instead with a spoiler upgrade.

 

19. Remove the stabiliser on helicopters.

 

20. Add countermeasures to ALL aircrafts and make them pilot controllable.

^ agree with what you said about 14, there's lots of other things that are worse at ruining peoples fun..

[Piro]

Anything that would make us feel like we are not playing the same game for +5 years... So:

-New loading music, new radios
- Upgrade the map just like they did in VCS and LCS. New  shortcuts. ramps,  billboards, shipwrecks on the beach, cargoships and aircraft carrier in the distance
- new phones, parachutes,  licence plates, wheels
- replace all cars and spawn colors for npc vehicles 
- new gameplay features 
- good story missions
- new fun and unique weapons like harpoon guns, flamethrowers, my little friend from scarface
- super fast custom boats and subs
- small personal islands with mansions and hangars 
- smugglers run part 2 with custom versions of old aircrafts
- special missile launcher with r2k missiles but it can only lock-on to oppressors and other meme vehicles
- nerf oppressors, buff huge aircrafts
- alien/zombies dlc thats not halfassed 

Edited February 24, 2019 by Piro

[SlammerRPM]

Open up the map and bring back features from previous games.

All of the hot dog and hamburger vendors and food trucks work. 

All of the fast food joints and restaurants work.

Open up the bars and have functioning pool tables and dart boards.

Open up all of the clubs and be able to pick up people and take them home.

Open up the mall and load it with stores and food options. (Vice City)

Open up the gym an get buff. That also means the outdoor gym at the beach.

Needs to be a bowling alley.

 

I think I need to go play some GTA IV.

[AllNighter1]

Map expansion with all new missions/activities while moving our online protagonist story forward. 

 

New rims n tires. 

 

More modern customization options on all the original cars the game launched with. 

 

Revamp the driving physics to be more like GTA IV. 

 

 

[slowburn29]

Removing all arbitrary restrictions. GTA IV lobby options. I'd ask for well thought out content that makes sense in the continuity spectrum but that ship has sailed. So might as well just give us a new map, who cares if it's liberty city. Let the modders do it, they'd do a better job

 

Because I'm super Dave Escobar over here, race car driver, supervillain, biker, shooter, driver, ceo. Nevermind pimping missions with brothels in motels or taxi depots. What about a combat update with ninja chops and katate kicks, katanas throwing stars and nunchucks? I'm sure it's all been covered in the wishlist thread

 

So nah we get a nightclub with gay Tony loafing about giving us lip, picking our pockets and we can't do sh*t about it because he never comes outside

 

They add adversary modes to keep us fighting and distracted from the fact everything is stale, overpriced and underwhelming. The old divide and conquer

[RyuNova]

Imagine if the Vigilante Update worked like this...

You get a new Contact who allows you to work for "Protectoserve", it works exactly like signing up for Securoserve where you get new unique missions, the "cargo" part is seizinf contraband that you store in a "Police Lockup" warehouse and can then sell at a later date. Things could including weapons, seized cars etc.

While working for POS you will not be shot at by the Police but will be "fired" and branded a criminal for a set amount of time if you kill innocent civilians. You will be paid a set fee like being an associate and you will receive a cash bonus for taking down HVT (People with a high mental state)

But I agree, I can't think of anything else besides a new map, and there's no chance of that happening in the current GTAOnline.

[555-We-Tip]

Releasing police vehicles would be pretty easy on their end and pretty great on our end.

[Wolff]

• Nerf overpowered 'session ruining' vehicles 
• Remove job types that aren't really played any more (way too many, many of which can't be even joined via your phone making them even more deserted)
• Split Stunt Series and Land Races
• Make players in races not able to ram players that are ahead of them for a lap or more (turn them non-contact) to fix trolling non-participants in races
• Merge Dispatch missions with the standard Contact missions (who's f*cking idea was this?)
• Come up with a system that makes playing various jobs the most profitable (not grinding in a solo lobby being the meta)
• Give delivery jobs better vehicles that can actually counter attack players half decently
• More houses (and allow garage access from the inside in stilt apartments..)
• Remove advanced handling flags
• Rebalance vehicle classes (such as adding slow sport cars to the Coupe class, fixing the Sports classics class (by making multiple classes, so the Tornado and Turismo aren't in the same class))
• Allow custom weapon load-out outside Freeroam
• Allow to sell weapons to the Ammu-nation to permanently get rid of them
• Lower the minimal players needed in heists where possible
• Make players always spawn inside the host's house at the end of a Heist setup, to make it easier to keep the crew together
• Make various Pegasus and Special Vehicles into standard cars that you can store in your garage (they already ditched the weaponized vehicles only being callable anyway)
• Toggling passive only allowed inside your properties
• You have to stand still for ~10 seconds to be able to commit suicide
• Add mechanic to the quick menu like all modern UIs
• Allow to block certain returning phone calls

Not happening though.

Edited February 24, 2019 by Wolff

[The_B1u3_Jay]

Honestly, i think they need to rebalance all of the other game modes payouts. It's a shame that the only game mode that gives you money is Free Mode and Heists. Nobody bothers to play anything else because the pay is unbalanced. Thats around 80% of the game not being played. I think they should probably double or triple the payouts of all of the other modes so that way they will pay great and people will actually play them.

[the J is for Julia]

Excellent topic. So many great ideas.

 

• Remove the advanced handling flags and watch the racing community flourish.

 

• More free roam contact missions (Terrorbyte) etc.

 

• Engine updates from RDR2 (if possible) - better optimization, pro and Xone support, character body types.

 

• Totally agree with passive nerf suggestions - players can switch it on whenever they want but they need to go to a safe zone or property to switch it off.

 

• I also agree with reworking the blips - options to play in sessions where you can’t see other players at all, or shorten radious for which they appear

 

• General clean up regarding glitches like free orbital cannon shots (not difficult, just charge players as soon as they choose to use the cannon), remove the MKII from in the MC call in menu (or apply a cool down to the menu in general).

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.

I will guarantee you that you have not done all the things in this game a 100 times.  This is almost a five and a half year old game.  They will continue to release DLC’s of various sizes about 3 times a year that feature new things you can buy with promotions sprinkled in.  We already have a next DLC thread, and didn’t need one more veiled “this game has gotten stale thread.”  This adds nothing to the community I am afraid.

Edited February 24, 2019 by pepe_le_pew

[GAUNTLET HELLFIRE]

1. Stop patching harmless glitches. 

I stopped playing this game a while ago but when I saw the Bennys merge glitch I spent hours on that. It was fun messing around getting different Bennys wheels on different cars. I hunted down a red gang Peyote to transfer that colour to a few different cars and got an Insurgent Pick Up Custom with an invisible gun. That made me play the game for hours and cost me millions of different wheels and paints. I spent millions o different wheels and bought a few cars just to do it with. That glitch didn't give me any unfair advantage over anyone and didn't harm R* at all.

 

The cop outfit glitch is another harmless glitch

 

2. buff payouts for older jobs

Why would I spend 10 minutes setting up a contact mission, doing the mission and then returning to freemode for 10k when I can just do Headhunter in 4 minutes or less for 20k

 

I would love to be able to do races, deathmatches, LTS, contact missions with other people etc but the payouts are so bad that after waiting on call for 10+ minutes I just give up.

 

3. Redo the heists so we aren't being punished by idiots and make them doable with less people

I can do the Prison Break Plane set up on my own and we only need one person alive to deliver the plane so why the f*ck does the mission fail if someone leaves or an idiot dies? If the prisoner or prison guard dies in the prison then f*ck em the raiming person can clear the prison. Someone dies in the Series A finale then 2 people can drive the trucks and do without the backup. 90% of heist set ups and finales should be able to be started with less than 4 people and should not fail when someone dies or leaves.

 

Same with MOC/Special vehicle missions. They can be started with less than 4 people so when someone leaves and there is still 2+ people the mission doesn't need to fail.

 

5. bring back Benny

Every DLC add 20 or 30 cars to Bennys and have 1 or 2 released every week as drip feed. We will have new content every week and can have proper DLCs again with all the new cars released on the day of the DLC.

 

6. more unlockable stuff

I like that we had to play Deadline to unlock the Shotaro and I like the IDEA of research. I would like to have more cars/clothes as mission/level unlocks. What I would like to see is more bunker like research but instead of the crap we got we get to choose what to unlock and do a mini mission to unlock it.

 

7. give me back my f*cking cop outfit. There is no harm in me having it and it should never have been removed.

 

8. storable cop cars

I would like vigilante type missions that unlock the ability to store and modify cop cars. First would be basic cop cars then FIB/riot vans and finally after a lot of missions Benny would turn any car into a cop car with lights, livery etc.

 

8. Businesses in invite only

This is f*cking stupid that we have to do it in public with assholes when we are fighting aimbot npcs anyway. Why the f*ck can't I do the stupid 5 drop MW bunker mission in invite only? Also why can't I buy supplies in invite only? I want to do some CEO crates to grind some levels but 95% of the time I play I'm in invite only and I can't be bothered switching to public to do some crates. We always have cars dupes which is better money anyway so no harm in nerfing the money a bit and allowing people to do it in invite only.

 

If even a few of those was added I would start playing this game again properly all I have really been doing for the last few months is glitching and returning for a few hours for new DLC and dripfeed cars. Right now all we get are the same boring adversary modes and businesses and they got boring after the first 2 hours.

(If possible) Dangerous weather

 

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

There are plenty of battle royales out there. The last thing we need is one in GTA.

I rememeber making an Adversary Mode a while back called Beast vs Mech. Never actually posted it anywhere but it was actually very well balanced. I know many people are against having such feature as a mech suit added but for this particular Adversary Mode, it fit.

 

All in all I'd like more "vs" modes added. Ones that don't actually requiring any killing.

I can guarantee you many have indeed done hundreds of it all out there, lol. Especially us longer term forum folk that are a touch more hard-core with our GTA.

 

Races, 1500+, DM's, 350-400 or so, LTS's, too many to remember, 1650+ crates, 400 cars for I/E, 300+ resupplies for the bunker, more for the MC businesses (plus many times bought supplies too), and so on. About 1500 sales overall at a guess. Even the arena I've gotten the Go-Go Blista, that needed near 200 plays, think I'm on 350-400 or so currently, probably more. Heists, so many heists and setups, including many CMM runs in there, lol. Even sports have had their share, 800+ MC contracts, untold VIP works/challenges too. Boatloads of contact missions and adversary modes, the list goes on and on.

 

You're right, the game has been out 5 and a half years. That's an awful long time. More than enough for a long term player to have had a good spell on each DLC's content as it comes to the game. I mean, the arena is only 2 months old and I've done so many of those since its arrival. Every 3 months stuff comes, it's easy if you get stuck in and sometimes indulge or keep returning to old modes long after their release with a good 2x to see a bump.

 

As OP said, they are asking what things outside of DLC content R* could add to see interest be reinvigorated for those that have played for a long time and may be a bit jaded by all they've done many times over. It adds discussion, if only dream scenario ideas. No bad thing, IMHO.

I understand what you are saying.  I have never played another game that came even remotely close to GTA in terms of the breadth of activities available.  I guess it just feels to me like the game is measured against an impossible standard that doesn’t exist in any other game.  Truth is, I think many are just ready for a nw game, be it the next GTA or or something else.  My question is, why do you think so many are having such a hard time letting go after 5 years?  I don’t know about you, but I have never had another game I played even remotely close to how long I have played this one.

Very true, the time spent here online far exceeds any game I've ever played too, lol.

 

For me, it's just so much variety and options we have. There's so much content, but combined with how we play, alone, together, or versus other players, it just adds more and more depending on the mood of the day. Racing for a racer against friends or randoms is rarely gonna get boring, same for PvP enthusiasts or any other preference really. The game see's much of what other games offer thive here, though not as detailed as a Gran Turismo or a COD (probably), we can pretty much play the same way as those games as much as anything. Then there's areas we're not specifically great at that we can push ourselves to the challenge of too, I'm not the greatest at PvP myself and do plan to really try more in time. (currently my latest target is rank 1k as I'm very close so I'm concentrating on that more atm).

 

And when we read here or the DLC/wishlist threads, there really is so much R* could do or add to just keep things coming. Criticism aside, that is pretty cool to know R* could just take the game/franchise further too. Just for my tastes things take a little more a realistic/grounded approach, but equally, as long as we have session choice for most things, stuff I dislike can just be ignored too. 

 

But definitely, a new and bigger GTA could be fantastic and I'm sure many are very keen for that. Huge potential there.

My question is, why do you think so many are having such a hard time letting go after 5 years?

There is no other game like this. Most other games focuses on one thing Forza is just racing and Call of Duty is just a FPS for example. With GTA I can race, kill other players, do missions, do sports all in the one game.
