For example, no one has noticed that they also confirmed new ability cards.

Yeah, but Fun already killed much of my hope in that regard, but confirmation is always helpful. I'm gonna be reminded until the day I quit that I've an empty ability card slot.

Anyway, of what's getting the negative headlines right now, though I agree and understand much, I'm just gonna see when it comes and more is known. None of it has surprised me though and it's all still a bit 'meh' but if it's good, I'll be delighted.

Why do you feel people who dont have the time to play the game should be locked off from major parts of the game by arbitrary paywalls? Paywalls that can conveniently be knocked down by spending real world money on MTX's.

Life is full of paywalls. You put the time in, get paid, buy what you want....

If all roles have that potential, I'm done.

 

That's not me throwing any toys out of my pram, I've just played that game for too many years, I don't find it fun and really don't want to invest any more time in a game going down that route.

That, and I do intend to dashboard the game if I'm targeted in a bounty.

 

(Not that I anticipate I'll be playing in a way to make it so, but who knows, lol. No sod's getting me )

[StyxTx]

Will bounty hunters be able to go after bounty hunters for their captured bounty?

They’ll probably make it so it counts as you being caught if you leave the session

[ThaBirdCoot]

Clothes look like absolute sh*t. Not surprising. But new things to do is always welcome. 

[The Shakermaker]

not sure if its been asked as it's hard to navigate and read all the comments but the girl has three holsters and she is holding some kinda gun?

Once I'm gone, I don't care what the game does. I'm playing on my terms, lol.

I count two holsters and she’s holding the new machete.

I'm 100% with you on that. 

 

 

The number one thing everyone was upset about was the griefing when the Beta was released. They had to implement changes twice, now, they're giving the griefers a bit of leeway. 

 

This isn't fair for those who just want to take part of the update without participating in any of PVP that comes with the roles.

Players who'll want it after the update launches I'm guessing. Notice it says "structured pursuit" and that you get an invite, so I'm guessing it's an instanced thing. Could be fun to get your bounty that high and get into those modes.

To answer that guy's question though I've had a $27.85 bounty while my brother had a $23.45 we did this to see how long we could last against the npc bounty hunters. We eventually got bored and paid off the bounty. So......yeah there is at least 2 players who have gotten past the $20 mark.

For me it's just sad to see the freedom and choice GTA:O started with reduced so much. Even game modes are so restricted here now, let alone freemode.

It looks like this (and the other current ingame bonuses) are extended until next week.

 

For the people complaining about having not enough gold you have an entire week to make double from your dailies so hop to it.

Hey thanks for the heads up. I thought it ended today and was out of luck but the extension is a godsend. I haven't played in a long time and was looking to get back into it. Think it's not too late? Also will we be able to switch and upgrade each role?

If you can get in a lot of dailies this week, and if you're fairly competent at showdowns it wouldn't be a bad idea to make the most out of the next 7 days. The discount on ability cards is pretty nice too because they definitely come in handy and I would suggest upgrading any that you use a whole lot and haven't maxed out yet.

[DarkFlame588]

Wonder if they'll allow us the mercy of doing sales while in defensive mode... doubt it.

Oh, how meta of you. How about you answer my question instead of trying to be clever?

I don't recall reading anything about fixes they are working on? Should we expect that bug fixes will be implemented as standard anyway or that a lack of acknowledging the disconnect issues that still happen every single session a cause for concern? 

[The Shakermaker]

So weapon locker is for traders only?

Created a thread for the hot topic of the moment, to help keep this one more centred on the updates contents.

B*tching about gold bars...smfh, seriously? They've been practically giving the sh*t away. 

 

You can make some of the people happy all the time, all the people happy some of the time, but the whiners you can never make happy.

It’s not going to really effect us players that have been playing as we can easily afford it however for a new player entering the game it looks like a lot of content locked behind gold bars/real money/grind.

 

I wonder if the twitch prime, PS4, GTA card benefits will be there forever or if they will be time limited. 

[Semaj 2JZ♢]

What a joke. Gold bar buy-ins? And only twitched out losers and PS4 owners get free sh*t? Thanks a lot for this socialist update, Bernie, I mean "R*"....

How’s a bounty hunter gonna catch me when very small percentage of players have a maxed out Black Arabian?

just run lol: Bounty Escaped

that might be fine if it's just one bounty hunter,

but if there's 5 or 6 or more bounty hunters coming towards you from all directions, that maxed out black arabian isn't going to do you much good, especially if those coming at you also have their high end horses maxed out.

Thanks! So one other question. I've been reading the targeting on the headshots is reworked or plays differently. Anything you can tell me about that? Does it play all that different from before? They were saying you can't just flick the stick to get headshots?

GTA card benefit will be disappearing. But there will be other collectables coming.

To make it short; it's exactly like how it is to do Biker Businesses in GTA Online.

I never liked the businesses in GTA Online.

[Ring Dang Do]

Happy the new update is coming so soon and new content is new content! 

 

Excited to see new new clothing items along with eye patches and bandoliers and it also looks like the trader has a ring on his right finger?

 

Think the 15 gold bars per role is pretty steep for new players entering online and will put a lot of people off at a glance.

 

Also unsure how the token system will work. Used to play a lot of mmos and token systems can be a real grind. Would much rather play the game and be rewarded with items rather than a bag full of tokens.

Honest opinion? Not impressed. Basic stuff looks to be locked (AGAIN!) behind arbitrary restrictions and pay walls. A basic Wagon? I shouldn't have to grind for days to unlock the ability to buy a wagon for example.

 

Bounty Hunters get gun spinning tricks? And, do they make me invincible? No? Not f*cking interested then.

 

Forty five Gold Bars minimum to get basic access to everything in the update.

so stop playing the game if you don't like it

[RyuNova]

Can we get an F in the this topic that the "Canine Companion" looks like its locked to camp and we cant have them follow us on adventures.
