The Diamond Casino & Resort Grand Opening - July 23rd

[Mackowski]

When will the DLC become available? Is it 00:01 on the 23rd wherever you are? Or 00:01 EDT?

It would be nice If we could play pool.

Usually around 5AM EST For the US and like 10AM I think for the UK

For people wondering about the Rooftop, I think they will use this native "SET_PLAYER_INVISIBLE_LOCALLY" to hide all the players who are outside aka not part of the ones who entered the rooftop.

If this is the case, it might cause a new glitch to appear, the invisibility glitch.

This is assuming R* code isn't tough enough to take care of such glitch.

However, it's not a glitch but more like a reverse glitch, if you could manage to walk outside with such effects enabled on you, you can play in a full lobby without seeing those players at all.

It's normally around 6 am EST. Can vary a little bit though.

Interesting.

Though, invisible or not, those outside the casino will surely surmise that there is at least one person on the roof at any one time.

Without any sort of barrier implemented, you on the roof will be open to attack, with no way of seeing your attacker coming towards you (read: jet strafe)

Tuesday can't come soon enough, fully ready to part with millions!

those disgusting clothes should be banned inside the casino.

As far as players lounging on the rooftop being susceptible to attack, couldnt the R* just give the casino the same defensive capabilities as our yachts? I think they had mentioned the Casino having impeccable security, iirc.

   Maybe weapons simply wont fire over the casino, like when you try to shoot your associates with "friendly-fire" off.

But my prediction is that this will woks just as freeroam cutscenes (where no one can see you and you can't see anyone else just to be sure that nothing interrupts the cutscene). I think Fun called this as "a lobby inside a lobby" or something like that.

So people from outside won't even see players on the rooftop

I think this is how they will work.

Absolutely.  Or a high bombing run, which would also evade yacht-style defenses.

I think the virtual world will be different on the roof compared to the exterior.. Kind of like multiple nightclubs in one place, but you can't see the other people if they're not in yours. It'll probably be an interior mode (no jumping, weapons .etc.) and the barriers at the sides will be high enough to prevent any sort of walking off.

[CRAZY AL WARD]

Me: *Sees the Trailer for 'The Diamond Casino Update' coming out Tuesday*

 

Also Me: *Searching trailer for Any classic cars, only to find Nothing*

Spoiler

 

But seriously tho: it's good to know it's finally coming out soon, & on Tuesday too?!?!?!

Iirc most updates usually happened on Thursday... Intresting.

 

Can't wait to see If they added some Classic Vehicles, if not...

Selling almost all my expensive vehicles (Except my Red Vamos) to save up for this update would be for Nothing... but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Also...

Spoiler

Pray to the gods that My shirt gets added to this update! What shirt you ask?

Spoiler

The Black & White Houndstooth shirt! Yes the Ricky Shirt from 'Trailer Park Boys' That's all i ask for in the Clothing section for this (Or Any) update!

This is Literally All i ask for, That's it!

How does the yacht's defense bubble work, exactly? They could use something similar.

I think No, because we are in weapons-free area.

That system may shoot down some annoying vehicle but sniper or satellite canon may got u.

Yeah, I know how it works from a player-facing standpoint, but I'm not sure I've ever seen an explanation of its behind-the-scenes mechanics.

As far as I know, the Orbital Cannon is the only way to kill someone on a yacht with countermeasures on.

[Karen Daniels]

When I brought up the concern of how players will be protected a few days ago, my initial thoughts were that players on the Penthouse deck will be instanced. It would be the simplistic way.  But then again... who knows if Rockstar even cares?

It's a geofence with the yacht in the centre. It triggers an automatic attack if you fly or sail into it.     

 

I don't think this would work for the casino roof.  

 

The only way I could see this thing working is if the rooftop is effectively an inside room, but with transparent walls and ceiling.  That way it would be similar to the offices.  To be inside it you need not be physically on top of the casino, you could be under the airport or similar and the view from the rooftop would just be simulated.  

 

Edit: Here's an example of why a yacht defense perimeter wouldn't work on the casino roof, even if players are invisible to snipers etc.  Some cretin will quickly work out that if you're flying towards the casino, say in an Avenger, then at full speed there will be a certain altitude where, over a specific landmark, you can release the bombs to guarantee a direct hit on the roof.  As soon as you've dumped then you can divert course to avoid flying into the defense zone - and the bombs will get through. Once the exact technique is common knowledge then it would be foolproof to grief this way.

Well, R* has to avoid no-members players to access on the rooftop, so it could have a protection against griefers too. And this is the most important thing for us

Actually if someone did a "lets Play" episodic style of this on Youtube I would watch it.

The highs, the lows and the tears would be such fun.

Players dressed like this should be insta-headshotted by the casino bouncers if they try to enter.

Brilliant game. Easily the best 3D Fallout game. The writing is on point, the world is amazing, the factions are varied and each faction has a story, you can play them off against each other etc. Its well worth a go.

Word of warning, it was made by the original FO creators and is set on the West Coast instead of the East Coast so it has little if anything to do with FO3 and FO4, you will see factions you know but thats about it. It follows on from the world that FO1 and 2 created.

@Mach1bud is there any way you could play New Vegas on PC? The free mod content alone would keep you obsessively occupied playing for AGES. Easily over 90+ hours alone. And that's before you factor in all the DLC that comes with the base game. And all the mods which fix all the vanilla bugs that came with the game & DLC
