Next DLC Speculation Topic Mk IX

[Piro]

Well two weeks event. At least we have the most likely release date now.

And if they don't drop anything tomorrow I guess they will give us a newswire post/trailer on 4th or 6th.

Me to r* if they release arena war part 2

Hold up, because Arena War SHOULD have a Part 2.

 

However, it should primarily consist of;

- Arena War Vehicle Armour being buffed in Freeroam.

- Arena War Promotion Work (AW version of Import/Export's VIP Work, tied to what vehicles you own and allow you to earn AP in a new way).

- and possibly, if they can get the actors for Alan, Bryony and Sasha back, a mini storyline, Arena War Contact Missions, Arena War Games vs NPC's in which we take on a new "rival character", to save our "career".

 

The punchline being... those additions would make Arena War what it SHOULD have been in the first place.

Im ok with the DLC being relased 08/11, only problem is two weeks of sh*tty arena discount again, its the same setting from a few months ago... come on...

 

From the other hand i have no reason to spend until the new stuff comes out... hope we get more classic cars and less weird propotypes (excluding the one they show)

 

More Classic Pfisters like

 

 

 

Would absolutely love to see either of these, we haven't had a new Pfister since the Doomsday Heist if I remember correctly.
Adding to this, a Carrera GT (maybe with a name related to the 811? 711 or something similar?) or a 959 would also be very welcome.

Tbh I'd rather take ArenaWar part 2 electric boogaloo than a DLC without a theme at all. Or yet another dlc with even more of stunt races... 

If R* didn't screw it up it would be a decent addition to the game

At least they would have an opportunity to fix it with part 2
- Nerf / remove the bike cause it makes every other vehicle pointless (you should fall from the bike if someone hits you hard enough. I guess that would work as a nerf)
- Add other modes like DM, survivals, LTS, deadline, proper destruction derby, some RC modes etc
- Make Arena War version of some popular fan made modes like Insurgents vs RPG 
- New maps and props 
- fix the unlock system and add better rewards 
- Add minigames from casino and arcade to the waiting room

edit:
plus all of this

I'd much rather a themeless DLC. The upside of a themeless DLC is that we'll hopefully get a more diverse selection of content. AW is hands down my least favorite update, it's so one note and boring. You can tell a lot of work went into it and that effort could have been used on a much better theme IMO. AW should have been a series of adversary modes tacked on to updates like racing modes have been.

Why on socialclub event stated July 30 - Aug 5?

All those things u talked about was missing from the dlc, i would have loved it otherwise. 

I just loved some of the muscles cars they gave us with it

[ddarko12]

lol well theyve lost me. hardly a summer update. and again reportedly supposed to be mediocre. Not worth waiting for especially when I'm gonna need to have other things on my mind around the middle of August.

Yeah you can tell that a lot of work went into Arena War. So it would be a huge waste if they didn't try to fix in at some point in the future. And since most of that work was already done for part 1 they could attach part 2 to that themeless dlc you just mentioned.

And yeah, I agree that AW should be treated like Adversary Modes. That would be a much better dripfeed imo. 

Also this time around they could add vehicles that are... less silly. I'm thinking blood bowl from Vice city. So they could give us all the regular cars at day 1 and with every week introduce a new AW mode that lets us convert one of those regular cars

You srsly need to ask Fun, you can't figure it out on your own? The intern didn't got the memo. They made a mistake. 

Maybe the originally plan was for it to last a week but they needed couple extra days to fix some newly discovered bugs in the upcoming update. So they moved the release date from 6th to 11th/13th

If we count each dlc that "could be re-made to try some fixes bcz the 'part 1' was not very well done" like you said, then, almost of the dlc's so far would need a 2.0 version. I mean, they can't do perfect dlc's bcz someone will always complain, but sure enough that a lot of them were quite half-assed bcz..."reasons", idk...deadlines? Lack of creativity? So, in that regard, i would say that a Nightclub 2.0 would please a lot more people by implementing the same content that tbogt had, rather some kind of mad max dlc style, that a lot less like the concept of it. I also think that sometimes "less is more", why not keep it simple? Give us like a coffe shop, or a Marco's Bistro restaurant alike, to hang out, them implement there some mini games like billiards, air hockey, etc. The problem with this small things that they are adding is that is not pvp enough. You have the arcades, but, there's not a real pvp there, there's only two games multiplayer and it's only a matter of who will socre more points, and not a fighting game that could make interaction btw people, or bliliards like i said before. I know they said they had ideas do implement more arcades games with a higher pvp mechanics, but there was not enough time to make it through the release date of Diamond Casino Heist.

Where it came from? Idk where, but to me, like i said in some page ago, the fact that this is a 2 weeks of "arena wars week", and they put the sugoi in the podium and not the deathbike, made me wonder if the new dlc is a AW 2.0 and the bike will be the podium vehicle of the first week of that dlc. And by the way R* talked about the next dlc as a "variety of content to people enjoy" to me sounds like: "we don't have any specific theme, so there you go some other glorified adv mode dlc a.k.a. Arena Wars (with some OW races in the mix).

The best post today. Triple like from me .

 

Arena Wars completely polarized people and I've got a lot of theories as to why:

• The most anal pricing system ever used, ever. Buy a car, do it up at great expense, realize it's absolutely hideous and then pay again to get it all removed. Madness, let alone experimenting with other versions of each vehicle.
• The loading times between events! That extra minute when the commentators ramble about how many women they have slept with, it's almost excruciating.
• And treating consecutive games like a playlist when it's not, so gradually watching players drop off until hardly anyone is left because of the clock countdown system. Make your mind up, Rockstar.
• Followed by the black and red screens of death between games. Reboot needed.

Actually, I'm a fan of AW because of the immense trophy and award system, not so much the stingy AP that takes months to accumulate, but the massive amount of detail put into the awards. I'm also a fan of military vehicles because I think they have a beauty in their own right and shouldn't be hated just because they're used for killing. I don't know; there's something about an Issi Classic rusted to death with tons of rebar and distortions that I love.

You forgot to mention the crazy amount of AP lvl that you need to unlock certain vehicles...thank God that the clown van was unlocked at lvl 75 and that was it for me, i didn't find any motivation to reach lvl 1000 to get a freaking space docker, bcz, i think is a ugly car that servers no purpose and i don't know why some people like it that much. I would be way more impressed if you used the horn and a spaceship would appear, since the space docker is a "alien vehicle".

But one of the biggest problem with the glorified adv. mode that was AW, consisted in two problems: 1) bcz the "playlist mechanics" it suffered from the same buggy issue that is when you try to play some TDM, races, LTS, etc., bcz a lot of times people get stuck in the lobby, not to mention that if someone is "entering" usually there's always one person that doesn't make it trhough and freezes all the lobby bcz the host can't even kick someone that isn't tecnically yet in the lobby and we have this issue since 2013. 2) People usually start leaving after the first or second round of being losing, which make it even more unbalanced when you're facing a rival team of 8 players with 3 players in yours.

Also, vehicles that no one uses in the free mode, bcz they are too goofy/not competitive...good luck trying to use your slamvan with laser guns (that aren't even good) and pursuit a player inside a super car (or even worst, the OP KM II) to show him/her how good is your mad max vehicle.

The only positive side that i liked in the dlc was the outfits and masks.

AW had a ton of potential, and I had a ton of fun during my immense grind of it, but it falls flat in so many places. The atmosphere would feel so much better if it didn't force this "tv gameshow" bs down your throat the whole time imo, hearing them commentate the same 3 lines about gun turrets or drones coming into the arena is so grinding when i'm trying to focus. And like most things, it isn't balanced at all.

 

The deathbike can either be one hit killed via mines or explosions, or it can't. And when it can't, the bike is virtually invincible. The cerberus is literally only useful if you accept the 90 deaths that follow as playing as a bomb ball goalie, but even then any upgraded sasquatch or deathbike is just gonna ruin you or shunt you out of the way in 5 seconds and make a goal anyway. The bruiser, slamvan, imperator, impaler and dominator were obsoleted at launch. The only other vehicle with a unique gimmick or potential (the vamos) was ultimately scrapped, and the other potential contenders (the manchez, cognoscenti, tempesta) weren't even brought back later on.

 

The huge paywall for what is the same adversary mode pay system is absolutely unacceptable as well. The AP you get is so paltry that it's more efficient to gamble in the spectator box, the rng unlocks bar pegasus vehicles makes the price inflation they did on every upgrade and clothing item in the game mandatory unless you really want to grind the same meta-riddled game modes for a year plus.

 

I do think some of the hate AW got was unjustified, as it did add a lot to the game with the chance of including them in the future (emp mechanics, kinetic physics used by mines/the up n' atomizer for example) and not to mention the absolutely gorgeous muscle cars that were added, and the rather nice soundtrack that followed, so nice that i'm honestly surprised isn't being used for more modes instead of the beyond stale smuggler's run tracks nowadays. It feels like they at least half-tried on it, but half assing anything doesn't quite cut it

 

thx for reading my essay ^^
