Next DLC Speculation Topic Mk IX

If it would take then years to get it up to speed, players would not go there for years appart from the odd visit to see something else.

What reason would players have to go to LC when there is nothing there besides the city and another fully made city with more content is just one Lobby away?

Its what happened to RDR2. A contentless wastland vs a wasteland with lots of content.

 

We do have facts. The fact that it will take place in an entirely new location.

An entirely new location can be anything from a building to the surface of Pluto.

 

that is a fact, but its very loose.....as you can say, the next DLC will be downloadable....a fact, too.

its more a classical tease.  and you name it, the new location can be anything.... but people act, like they already have seen the liberty city trailer....

 

I will repeat myself:  do you really think rockstar would release the biggest communtity wish ever (map expansion) inside a small sentence, which didnt even say about a new city? no no, they would announce it like anything other before.....but they didnt...because its not a new city....

 

plus GTA5 still sells like hell, why should they waste developer time on a product, which sells even without a expansion? thats naive....

Has anyone yet encountered/experienced these new Madam Nazar related events?

I did.

I got the "death from above" thingy and got airstriked by an NPC jet around 20-30 min later.

What location?

Eclips tower.

Jet suddenly appeared on the map and explosions rained down like in the airstrike from merryweather. Only reason I did not die was that I loaded into the clouds due to an on call heist.

I got one too, i thought she was talking about the orbital so didn't really pay attention to it or grab a screenie, but then later when i was drag-racing some random players on sandy shores airstrip a jet appeared and blew us all up with some carpet bombing, at first we thought it was a player but it was only a few players in the session and everybody who wasnt joining the dragrace was across the map & not in planes, so eventually we figured it was a npc from somebody's freemode work getting close to us, but now that i read your back & forth posts im like 99% sure thats what happened.

Bombushka had that ability. Until they "patched" it cause people were using it transport cargo delivery faster...

Common misconception, you give R* too much credit, its actually a lot simpler, they just f-ed up the vehicle somehow the moment when they added it, if you dont buy armor then you can always get in the back. (also i remember something about not picking a livery, just look it up, 'how to use the cargo bay of bombushka' or something)

Is it possible they can switch to dedicated servers just with an Update? Or does it require a complete new game with an updated Rage engine?

Technically yes to the first and no to the second, but its complicated. They can make the game use dedicated servers without having to remake the thing completely, but it would be a 'scary' change for them, the likelihood of breaking stuff would be big enough that they wouldn't want to do this. If RDO isnt using them then even in the best case scenario (re-re-release uses latest Rage engine) we shouldnt count on this, the game will most likely remain P2P.

Just a reference to the north Yankton map glitch

but there is no isle in North Yankton, it's def a Catalina Island hint

This, i feel like that pic i posted / the line "I see a secluded isle, and upon it I see, ah... it is gone." is most definitely a hint towards Catalina Island, while the North Yankton angle is certainly a good counter point im pretty sure that place aint no isle. Also its nice and crafty writing, as we can interpret that line in a few different ways:
- "Secluded isle", so it wont be reachable trough normal means of travel?
- "ah... it is gone" might relate to the above again (maybe you can only reach it during certain missions, which would suck)
- "ah... it is gone" might mean its release having been pushed back because of the corona stuffs.

- While im still not really buying the whole 'cancelled cops & crooks dlc' stuff*, just to humor those that do, another way to interpret "and upon it I see, ah... it is gone" is that she might be talking about some police station that was removed from the island.
* = While im happy to agree that yes we did find hints to 'cop stuff', i just dont think there was ever the full-on C&C DLC angle, i much more firmly believe the cops are just a part of the upcoming heist, like how firemen gruppe6 etc are part of casino heist

People still think Catalina Island is real?

I dont know what i should think about it but i feel like some of the hints people have come up with are pretty good ones, at the very least if its going to be a 'a whole new location' like R* said then Catalina Island would be like 10x more plausible then the entirety of LC, imo anyway. Also its always interesting when moderators are hinting towards stuff that we are speculating about as well, that usually means that we're on the right track, despite what some people want to think some GTAF moderators do 'know people' and they dont just meme for clicktrough rates, that would do this community more harm then good in the long run.

well I think the idea is that r* would update it on nextgen so that there's more to do there. right now there's hardly any incentive to buy the game on nextgen, so adding LC is at least something.

Like I said why would people go to a rather empty map that will take years to get to Los Santos Level of content when there is a map with all these things already there?

Thats pretty much the argumentation that other folks used when they said why North Yankton would be boring.

Yes I do believe that a mapexpansion with a new city is possible. Not on the scale of LC, but on a smaller scale.

 

As I said, this topic is called speculation thread for a reason. And "entirely new location" sounds quite a bit diffrent from what we are used to.

Why would they revamp a new map and then not add any content for the new map? Remember they’ve allegedly been working on this for years. It’s not out of the question that they’ve made interiors, apartments, and garages for use.

A) We were talking about them adding LC and then building it up like LS over the years.

B) I dont think that they have been working on it over the past few years.

I think the alien stuff in this update is a tease for the December DLC which I think will be the remainder of the Alien War stuff from the cancelled SP DLC. The new location would be an Alien base below Zancudo maybe. That's more likely than getting LC or a new island IMO. Why do all that work when they still have cut content and a preexisting plan to work from?

 

Has anybody else noticed unusual NPC cars spawning in Blaine county? I've seen a limo there a few times recently in an invite only sesh and have never seen that before in the 6 years I've been playing. Probably just a bug or very rare occurrence, or maybe they messed with that stuff when updating Simeon's export list?

 

As for those special shirts added with this DLC, we'll be lucky to get 2 or 3 as login bonuses. Some will likely be event cargo grind bait and most, like always will go unreleased. Seems like the only time we get login shirts that aren't repeats is in the few weeks following a new DLC. Fingers crossed that the BC Radio shirt will be login and not grind bait, or worse, not released at all. I've always said they should do a new login shirt every week, that way they could work through some of the old unreleased stuff as well as getting collectors to login. Heck, they have enough unreleased shirts to do them daily for almost a year lol..

Im actually noticing a lot of changes with traffic across the map, and other people are also posting the same in some threads here, also looks like some of the vehicles that they added to the list of 'you cant steal this' over the past few years have been removed again/can be stolen again. Was doing some off-roading with a random low level and we came across a heavily modified 'Sandking XL' and he could actually store it, and im like 90% sure even the basic version of that vehicle wasnt storable for a good few years, gonna look for a storable BF Bifta today, if i can find and store one then i'll be 100% sure they removed things from the 'non-storable' list.

The Sandking SWB and Sandking XL was and never has been a part of the High End vehicles.

What you experienced was either a bug, or perhaps your friends trolled you. You have always been able to modify and store Sandkings.

 

Edit: NPC modified BF Biftas does not spawn in Online, by the way.

Naah, it worked normally for months if not years after release. Until people started posting pictures here and on reddit. Funny enough I was one of the first people who did it. I sill have the pic.

A week later they made a change where they blocked the entrance. But R* being R*, they probably forgot about the stock version of the plane. What other reason would they have to mess around with that vehicle? I'm almost sure it was an intentional "glitch" that they never fixed for a reason. Tho its possible its just a huuuge coincidence that worked in their favor.

Also from what I remember RDRO at first was pretty empty and people still played the sh*t out of it just to mess around. Same would be with LC even if they added an empty map with nothing in it.

Cause it would be a new place after 7 years of sitting in the same city that everyone knows like the back of their hand. Simple as that. And nah, the argument about North Yankton was that it would be the most boring solution out of all the other possibilities. It had nothing to do with the content they could add there.

A huge majority would still go to LC no matter what, and thats all that matters. R* wouldn't care that 0.1% of players wouldn't want to visit LC until it has the same amount of content as LS. Obviously they would keep adding more and more with every single dlc.

Imagine if to every new dlc they would port 2 old businesses to LC. That would surly be enough to keep people interested for years.

Bruh it was a small teaser... In a post about rdro... Why would they say what it is right away when they have like... a half a year or more before release? R* dosn't do that.

And (not to say they know what they are talking about) if you haven't noticed Yan, Fun and all the mods/admins in here also think its gonna be a map expansion of some kind. Not necessarily a city tho, but still, a map expansion. 

But I do agree with most people in here that a small island is the most likely scenerio. So not a "city" but a "small town" probably.

I am hoping for a map expansion but I do not dare believe in us getting one. However, if they wanna keep me (a GTAO player since day one) interested when it goes to next gen, I need something more. Something really substantial.

 

Everything released since the After Hours update has been among the stuff I enjoy the most in this game, yet I don't play GTAO near as much as I used to between 2013-2017. This past week I've been online more hours than I've been in the past 1,5 years combined and the game's just full of rank 0-100 players, with the occassional level 600 or 800-ish player sharing sessions with me.

 

I can't help but imagine most old timers bailed for similar reasons as to why I did myself - the boring map. They can add content upon content to this map, but as long as I have to cruise those LS streets a few more times, my interest's gonna be dead before I even exit my garage again.

 

I believe R* can put this on next gen and still have their new gen of players engaging in it, but to keep us old timers coming back I personally need something that feels closer to a "new" GTA. e.g. a new map.

My argument is that people would visit it maybe once or twice and then abandon it (appart from maybe the new heist).

Maybe I'm underestimating the casual sharkcard buying playerbase but I dont think that a majority would stick around.

If both citys were in the same lobby things would be diffrent.

 

Oh and the North Yankton discussion was partially about that "there would be nothing to do". Go back a couple of pages.

[MGgames100]

I'm writing this to clear some misconceptions and throw my few cents into the hat about the upcoming update and the map expansion that everyone is talking about. I've talked about this topic with few of the people that really know their stuff from technical perspective and some people that know other people that know cousin of the Rockstars Janitor's brother-in-law. Still this is really just a speculation, a speculation dripped slightly with leaks and based on the evidence and the rumors I've heard, but still a speculation so take it with a butt load of salt. 
I'll be talking about three possibilities regarding the map expansion. I do believe that I won't be just a new interior or building on the current map and it will be, in fact a map expansion. There are few prominent theories about it, but I want to start with the least possible of them - VC, LV and SF. There's NO way they'd create those maps and just casually use them in the GTAO for free. I'll however go back to those however slightly later and I'll take a look at another location that was suggested - San Diego and Tijuana. I'd say that it would be a really cool and unique idea but I doubt something like this would happen, see the above. San Diego and Tijuana, although smaller than LA are still pretty big and I don't think that the team that creates the DLCs have the manpower to create so complex stuff. This is why I'm not going to really going to go into more details about it neither.

Let's begin looking at our first possibility: North Yankton. (Side note, I'll be referring to North Yankton as NY, don't get confused with New York lmao)
North Yankton would be that classic Rockstar laziness that they are known for. They basically have all the assets ready. The basic map, the pedestrians and the vehicles, all as of yet unused in GTAO. For years they've been constantly reusing parts of the SP, whether it's an interior or majority of content from scrapped DLC *cough* Doomsday Heists *cough*. It could also create a really unique terrain that we only have access to one or twice a year - snow. Snowmobiles would be a really interesting concept. As much of the NY  they already have they would need to add about the same amount of stuff to it. Let's be honest, there isn't really much going on in NY. There was the depo that was used in prologue and the church and graveyard. Rest are just non-solid buildings and empty fields. The NY is also suspended in midair slightly above the LS Docks which results in basically it being a mission only place and I think that Rockstar wants to give us more places to go to in Freeroam, more about that later.  I'd also say that robbing the same place as in SP as Heists finale would suck ass. Unless they do Doomsday Pt2 and underground facility where there is hidden alien spacecraft or FIB base or some sh*t like that. That was my personal problem with Doomsday, sh*t just magically appeared around the map and I'd rather not go this route again. The fact that it is actually set in different state, far away from LS is also another minus. It would result in the additional lobbies for it, if it was available in Freeroam ofc. All that being said, I feel like a Setup mission where you'd go steal some important MacGuffin from that bank and escape using the Snowmobiles or something like that. It would be kick ass and allow them to use this pretty big although empty map imho.

 

Another highly discussed possibility is the Liberty City.
A lot of people point out to a lot of references to GTA IV in recent update. My response to it, Rockstar been doing such things for years. The references to GTA III, GTA VC, GTA SA, Manhunt, GTA IV&EFLC, it really means nothing. Just because they've put QUB3D (best addition to the game from this update btw) and some t-shirts doesn't mean jack really. Maybe there was some reference to GTA IV with CnC, maybe we meet some character from IV and they've decided to add it in for nostalgia sake, we don't know. Also for love of God stop mentioning the Solomon picture with Niko, it's been there since 2013, just a simple Easter Egg nothing more! Really the same problems with North Yankton can be applied here and I'd say that LC has even more problems. Outside if the fact they would have to create separate lobbies for Freeroam (if it had one), they would have to create so much more than compared to Yankton. With Yankton they at least had Peds ready, here they would have to create so much more than  just few more, due to fact how different the LS and LC (and LA and New York) the communities are. Jews, Russians, Italians, Jamaicans and so much more are non-existent in LS as pedestrians, they would just have to add em and they would result spending a big money on the voicework alone especially during the quarantine. They could reuse a lot of voiceovers and models from GTA IV, but would you really like to get the same content that's 13 years old at this point? It would feel like they'd put GTA SA models back to V, bad and outta place. And no you can't just plop the There is also a problem with radio (which is really expensive), pathfinding for NPCs, different weather and endless things of other stuff that you don't really think about such as underwater tunnels (that aren't possible with the GTA Vs water engine) and seabed that would have to be made from 0 to small things such as police radio chatter that would  need to be redone completely. There is also a possibility of them using a part of the LC similarly to the North Yankton, but really where would be fun in that. I'd say it would really suck if we had like 3 streets and 2 interiors for us to actually explore. I think it would defeat the purpose of setting the Heist there at all. Also there is also the fact that what is there to rob in the LC? There is Liberty Bank, but we already robbed it, there is BAWSAQ and LCN, but I don't think robbing it would be kinda pointless, there are no real assets there and robbing stocks is useless. There's also a prison but we already have Prison Break heist. There is also a museum, but I'd say robbing the Kortz Center or Galileo Observatory would be more interesting than LC Museum. Maybe you could come up with something, I personally can't really. All that being said I do believe that they'll add LC to GTAO at some point in time, just not now. It's quite obvious that they want it to go as long as possible and I feel like after they update the engine to actually support the map expansions (cuz currently it's near impossible, they increased TXD limits and game can casually sh*t itself from time to time) the gates for LC might be open. In fact I feel like we will get VC *cough*and other map(s) that will be coming with it*cough* to GTAO if you own GTA VI and vice versa. They wouldn't really sperate it from GTA V for no reason after 8 years of support. It's quite obvious what their plans are. But that's kinda off topic right now

 

And finally we left the most possible for last; Santa Catalina Island. 

In my opinion this is what we will get in December. It has pretty much everything you'd want from such a place. It's big but not too big, it only has two cities (well one small city and village), places to rob, it is close to LA and it wouldn't have and so much more. 
First of all - radios. Guess what: Santa Catalina receives radio from LA. They also have two (from the research I've conducted) stations of their own. I'd say Rockstars would definitely go with an option to add only one or two new stations over adding 5-10 for new region, whether it would be LC or something else. Pedestrians? Reuse 'em from LS, the climate is exactly the same so they won't look outta place. It would be perfect addition for the Freeroam, it would give boats and aircrafts (because there's an actual airport in there) a new life. If we'd get a new homes there, whether villas or just regular houses, we could easily transport our cars from LS to SC, because irl the ferries go from LA to SC. They could easily remodel one of the pretty much unused warehouses that crowd the LS Docks into the Ferry terminal. Going back to the "places to rob", Santa Catalina has a sh*t ton of luxury houses (which I believe will be the main part of the Heists), it has small but pretty casino that also hosts art gallery, museum and they might add some other made-up place because unlike two candidates before it this is pretty much empty canvas. There's also something you can't steal - beautiful views. As much as I love LC I don't think it has views like these:

 

 

 

I feel like there is literally no better candidate for map expansion than it. I'd take it over a small part of LC or forever frozen Yankton any day. 

 

TLDR: This will be map expansion, no VC, LV or SF, Yankton is too boring of a place imo, LC would need too much attention, overall Santa Catalina knockoff is most likely.

This will be map expansion, no VC, LV or SF, Yankton is too boring of a place imo, LC would need too much attention, overall Santa Catalina knockoff is most likely. 

 

the only problem I see with speculating it'll be Santa Catalina is that we have no evidence or possible evidence that rockstar has ever considered this for a map expansion.

 

with lc we do have that middle park screenshot, which could have something to do with an lc expansion, and also some guy that might be kind of credible saying they were working on lc for gta online back in 2014.

 

I guess you could argue that adding in the carrier for a business battle could have been a way of testing how well stuff works offshore ls. maybe that's evidence for a sc expansion.

 

either way Im just hoping it's not a sh*tty interior. lc and santa catalina seem equally likely to me, and i would be fine with either.

Yeah, I won't waste my special crew color + all the other upgrades just for a trick I would barely even use (since I haven't done a biker sell in years). But thanks for the tip!

You could still keep the crew color because it falls under Respray.

 

I've used my Bombushka fairly regularly doing Casino Heist prep, e.g. getaway vehicles, Gruppe 6 Stockade, NOOSE van, Yung's rental Fugitive.

Yea, most realistic expectation about map expansion. Enough diversity with urban and rural areas, but yet not that huge. Some Guarma vibes with rural and VC vibes with urban. I think this would satisfy most Gta Online playerbase, myself included.
