Kirsty Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 10 minutes ago, Jason said: Yea I know, but that's what I mean, give us the juice man, it's out next week, give stuff fans to get excited about, like they did with the Frontier Pursuits update. While I am a fan of them announcing the update and releasing it a week later, I am not a fan of them announcing it and not giving any meaty info. Less people would be being negativity, worried or frustrated if we had some actual details to talk about instead of saying stuff like "I hope the update is bigger than I think" etc. To me this seems more like it was brought on the community upheaval, and not something they are used talking about this far in advance, especially for GTA Online. It seems toned down / more laid back than their usual language, not many photos etc, and is it normal to announce something that's coming at the end of the year in this manner? A new location for GTAO is huge, and I'm really surprised they didn't keep the surprise longer. So I'm wondering is it a new basic approach of more regular/frequent updates, where they tell us something is coming to be more transparent, but waiting for the actual day to see the meat of it. If that makes sense? Potter145 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonshiners trailer was dropped 5 days before the update came out which was on the 19th. Rockstar have given out a Newswire post 5 days before the update. They should have given us a trailer if they were to follow their formula. It only makes sense. Who knows, maybe we'll see a trailer in the coming days. But if they were going to drop one, now would have been the perfect time. Lonely-Martin 1 Dan Houser's personal barber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftover Pizza Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) My hype bones still aren't rattling, at all. Still no urge to reinstall the game neither. But I guess the Rockstar logo licking crowd is going nuts and wet their pants over this newswire post. All good, all fine. I can't share the hype. I guess Rockstar broke too much of my enthousiasme for this game in THE PAST 7 MONTHS THEY NEEDED TO GET 1 ROLE OUT OF THEIR SLEEVES and keeping their f*cking gobs shut about anything in the meanwhile. Those hype bones have been smashed to pieces and need a LOT of healing to get rattling again. Btw, who were the light bulbs asking for more instruments?

If that makes sense? With regards to GTA:O, I totally agree with you here. But RDRO's content is so close to this announcement and they could have added a trailer at least if no other info as in regards to RDRO, this announcement timeframe is regular R* at work I feel.

If that makes sense? They announced the Frontier Pursuits update months in advance, even including some early details (the Role names) so it's not new, but yea it's not the usual from them. It would be nice if this is them opening up and becoming more talkative with their community, that'd be very well appreciated but we'll have to see how this goes. This line does make you wonder if their plan is to start pushing out QoL/fixes more often: "tons of community-requested features and fixes, and much more to play and discover in the months to come." That would be really good if so, one of RDO's main issues has been that things tend to only get fixed with a major content update which come on average every 3-6 months, so stuff can go unfixed for ages.

ALifeOfMisery Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 How is it that there are only 2 or 3 other people in here who actually get the implications of what's been announced? The language used suggests that the next 2 updates are Moonshiners sized in terms of scope. Moonshiners wasn't great now was it. R* came out of the gate with Frontier Pursuits and have dialled things back ever since. The role coming on Tuesday could be great, but it's one role, that's not going to significantly flesh out the game until the next update comes in what will likely be November at the earliest. I'm genuinely sorry to say it but most of the responses in this thread are precisely why R* get away with sh*t like they do.

Bye now. Thank god. You have been nothing but toxic on these forums. You're not as smart as you think you are. Sooner or later half the forum is going to end up on your "iGnOrE lIsT". Ta-ta. Moving on, I'm highly speculating that the legendary animals are going to be drip fed over the next few weeks, similarly as to how the legendary bounties were drip fed when they first came out. In those coming weeks, I'm guessing Rockstar will drop some more info and dish out some new content by adding in these "features" that they mentioned on that Newswire post.

I would like this to be the start of them being more transparent/open about their plans. I think it's been a long time that they've held a mirror up to the community, and now it has been turned around on them; all the recent uproar on top of the GTA V backlash has hopefully forced them to re-think from our perspective and how much communication is important for these games. Updates and content is amazing, but communication is all people needed. Its not happened before so it has to start somewhere, right?

Capcom: "Aww, that's just adorable - here's ours!" ...I hope they've not gone and hiked up the Outlaw Pass XP requirements again (and added more ranks) - Monster Hunter's right in the middle of a shorter-than-usual seasonal event, and I can't justify taking time out of unlocking All The Things in order to grind out limited time horse masks and suspenders (which I'll never use...) in RDO.

The thing that might get stuff forgiven is the above mentioned features combined with Rockstar apologies for the lack of communication and them to give insight about why these updates take this long, plus a real roadmap for their RDO plans. That might get things back to normal. ALifeOfMisery and darkmaster234 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talisman_83 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I wonder if Cholla Springs will be the ONLY Trapper spot, or if there'll be a few dotted around the map. Personally I think Cholla Springs is maybe a bit odd to have a Trapper location, but will wait and see what its like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
