I made a petition

[Shotty Gun]

It's a petition to remove the Opressor Mark II due to the excessive amount of griefing it has caused.

Forgive me but it won't change anything

[Shotty Gun]

Damn, should've thought of that before I made the poll.

[xInfected_Virus]

I use the Oppressor MK-II to grind, just stay in a solo public lobby and your all good.

After past attempts on petitions, I've given up even caring, sorry. Good luck though, you'll certainly need it.

unfortunately there's been more then one petition to remove the opmk2 and it's still in the game but one can hope r* remove's it or nerf it's deadly missiles.

Each time I see a post about removing it? I go and grief a dozen low levels out of spite. I'm not even a griefer, just get that annoyed at how people don't know how to counter it.

unfortunately it doesn't have too many counters.

[Shotty Gun]

It's like Meta Knight in SSBB no counters, and extremely hated by many.

A jet with explosive cannons, just keep flying in circles and you all good or use the MOC cab and throw a lucky sticky bomb at them. Th Fully Loaded Ruiner 2000 should work if they're dumb enough to take it on.

It does have counters, vigilance being the main one. Keep your eye on other players. If you are in a vehicle as they approach, get out of the vehicle. You can dismount the rider easily with the explosive sniper, so when he lines up to fire at you, take him out first. I like standing on buildings and shooting at them with the explosive sniper when they are in flight. It's like grouse shooting. They are harder to hit than jets, but it's so much funnier when you hit them.

 

You can take the rider out with automatic weapons if they are too close. They don't fare too well against the Fully Loaded Ruiner. 

 

Use all the dirty tricks available to you. Ghost Organisation, Off the Radar, Heist Teleports, R/C Bandit, and the most effective of all, your own OP II.

 

Take the fight to them, they aren't as much of a threat as some of the more, how shall I say "defeatist" players here insist that they are.

I won't be signing the petition, not because it's a bad idea, but because it's flawed in its reasoning.

 

The Oppressor Mk II is an awesome addition to the game, think about it. We now have a pinpoint precision map positioning tool, almost like creator mode in freemode. If you want to get somewhere easily and fast, call up your Oppressor Mk II and resolve the problem. All you have to do is hold down accelerate and occasionally tap the analogue button for direction. Sourcing cargo and doing missions in general has become far less grindy.

 

The problem is the missiles are too powerful, plus it is too easily purchased by inexperienced noobs with piles of cash to spare. A new GTA online player should not be able to get the most devastating vehicle just like that through a quick microstransaction - which is what frustrates most players - making them omnipresent like deadly wasps when they shouldn't be.

 

So, let's not remove the Oppressor Mk II from the game, but address how overpowered it is. I would be happy with missiles at Buzzard Chopper/homing launcher level, i.e.; ones that I can fly straight at in an attempt to avoid.

I believe the game is coming to an end with new content. R* has made their millions, do they even care about the month long $ glitching/f1/benny merges? Mk2 at half price, just throw us in a nazi stew.

Also, imagine getting mad at people actually wanting a more balanced game to the point of lashing out at players who have nothing to do with any of this lmao

 

@Shotty Gun I support your cause, but sadly, I'm afraid you'll find no sympathy here, most people are either jaded at R* for not doing anything about it all these years and find any attempts to make them pay attention either futile or even worse, deserving of ridicule.

 

As I've said many times before, we have the game that we deserve.

I love how you always have a nuanced response man and yeah, you're right!

 

As much as I despise the Oppressor Mk II, sadly it's here to stay, so the next best thing to ask for is for it to be nerfed, retooled or balanced in some way.

 

Not to mention that if it truly got removed, it would set a bad precedent. I mean, people would turn against the Deluxo and the original Oppressor, what if they removed those too? What's next, the jets? The Insurgent? The Armored Kuruma? The Zentorno of all things? Not to mention that several people bought said vehicles with Shark Cards too, which is another whole can of worms too.

 

Let's be real, griefers gonna grief no matter what, so the best course of action should be to either making griefing hard as f*ck or at the very least to level the playing field so they just don't steamroll over other players with next to no effort.

Man, imagine you're an idiot, and spent actual money on a vehicle that was later removed from the game.

 

It's not gonna happen, there's too many strings attached, and it's still a huge money maker.

[Shotty Gun]

Apparently, there's a new feature where every time you deliver crates the cash gets transported to your bank account instead of it being on you.

[Standard Deluxe 59]

I hate this Dipsh*t special mobile as much as everyone else hates it, but a petition ain't gonna get it removed. The closest you can get is avoid it altogether in either solo public sessions or staying in invite only sessions and pretend it isn't there. 

[MostlyPonies]

Petitions are useless. Like in general.

[gtafan26]

Haha cute, you made a petition, its going snow in hell before it or any other petition does anything.

 

R* knows what they did, R* knows how OP it is, R* has had all this time to make it less OP and they havent.   The only thing they did was add the cool down timer, and that has done basically nothing.

[Shotty Gun]

This petition is useless, don't even know why I made it. I guess I thought it would change something. But I guess I was having unrealistic expectations. I do appreciate the criticism though. Griefers are here to stay. The only (temporary) solution is join one of the major CEO friendly servers.

Honestly that part doesn't really frustrate me, even though it's the reason the Mk II is in the game to begin with.

 

I'm generally not an opponent of pay-to-win monetization schemes.

 

The Mk II is just too easy -- and boring. Every grinder and PvPer uses it. That's my main contention. It made the game more boring.

Don't be so hard on yourself man, it's all good, at least you want to see the game become better too and that's something that I'll always support in anyone.

 

For the record, there has been several petitions directed at R* about various issues in the past, from the Oppressor Mk II, to Passive Mode on weaponized vehicles, to even Advanced Handling Flags, all made by popular YouTubers in the GTA community, all of them without any success or even a response at all.

 

For the record, R* did eventually fixed Passive Mode on weaponized vehicles, although not because of said petition.

 

Don't let this discourage you from expression your opinion though, if anything, people expressing what they don't like about the game and what they want to see improved is what we need now more than ever, seeing how this game will keep going on next gen still.

[hugh750]

as yellow zoomer said don't be hard on yourself, there is a lot of players who hate the oppressor mk2 and also complain about it (and also ether want it's missles nerfed or the opmk2 removed).

[CarimboHanky]

the problem is not the mk2, overall its a great vehicle to do business with, the problem is R* and their lack of balancing.

 

remove the ability of the homing missiles from been able to lock into player vehicles and watch the griefing issue go down to almost 0% in a matter of hours.

Sadly, not really.

Anyone with 2 or 3 braincells left can freeaim the missiles. It has a fixed tilt angle that makes it easier to aim, it stabilizes itself wich makes it easier to aim, it can hoover in place with zero effects by turbulenz wich (you guessed it) makes it easier to aim,...

Im sorry but the missiles have to go. The regular machineguns should get a boost in damage, it should get a slight speed increase and a few more of its countermeasures to make up for the loss.

[JOEsAGGRESSIVE]

I can see rockstar nerfing the mkII then when the update comes out there's an mkIII version that would basically be even more op but with the Akula's ability and it's as durable as the nightshark.(actually that might be fun)

It's the speed and amount of missiles (and the lock-on) that's the problem. They can have a couple of missiles, which is realistic given how small the bike is, but once they're out they'll have to use bullets. OR if they can use throwable weapons from the MK2 then don't give them any missiles.
