djb204 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Private sessions have been requested many times, and players have even figured out ways to glitch into private sessions only to have these glitch methods patched by Rockstar. What does Rockstar have against private sessions? What ever Rockstar has against private sessions, I know they like their money. So.. I know it’s a stupid thing to request, but I’m probably willing to rent sessions (daily, weekly, monthly, etc). I’d pay gold (micro-transactions) to rent password protected sessions. I know Rockstar could easily implement free private sessions if they wanted too, but it doesn’t look like they want too, they would have done it already. So maybe if there was a micro transaction renting system, they would have more incentive to make it happen.

roggek Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The future for RDO is a bit dull, and we should remember that we paid for the story mode, the online part is a bonus content which can be cancelled anytime. So I think that "invite only sessions" is very far down on R* "to-do-list", if ever implemented... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that RDO can be shut down at any time, but I doubt that’s gonna happen for years. Non Funkable Token 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direwrath Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 If I felt that R* was more inclined to dedicate any real support to RDO I would if that was the only way to get a private server. But right now RDO just seems like a side project to the company, and I won't invest in something like that. Maybe in the future though I might change my mind?

kcole4001 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 No, absolutely not. They have completely missed the boat with regard to offering what players actually want, they were given every opportunity and plenty of time, and yet they continue to push their own private agenda to the exclusion of their many long time customers. They have not shown that they deserve any extra money. Lonely-Martin, IceHeartache, LeeC22 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StyxTx Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) I would have long ago but like the previous post said, it's too late now. I won't give them another penny. Since they are so money hungry you'd think they'd offer private lobbies as a monthly subscription to keep a steady money stream. How much they'd charge would probably be outrageous and they'd market it like they are offering the lobbies because they care about the players. It really wouldn't shock me seeing how shady this bunch is. If they went the gold method, I'd bet anything they'd charge so much gold that players would end off having to buy more gold just to be able to afford the lobby payments. They can skip the gold method and just go straight for the wallet which would be a much more consistent stream of cash for them. My question is, for those who would be willing to pay, how much would you be willing to dish out?

Thankfully, they aren't all patched at least not yet. If I couldn't play in a solo lobby, I probably would drop this game. Would I pay Rockstar for a solo lobby? I don't think so. Maybe if I left the game and then got "homesick" for the range, I'd be more inclined to pay--but I don't think I'd pay Rockstar. I'd be more likely to pay someone to glitch the game for me (yes, I actually contributed to jeanropke for that map). I truly hate Rockstar as a company for many things (while acknowledging that they have a good game in RDO), including initially lying about how this game was going to be played. I actually talked people into buying this game only for them to leave after all the griefing. So, I don't think I'd be willing to pay Rockstar another cent, not because they don't have a very good game but because I find them to be axxxxxxs in terms of how they treat their customers. kcole4001, Direwrath and StyxTx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBuffalo Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 If they are added, they should have a gold bar cost of 1 bar. The only problem is the crappy disconnect issue. A way around this is give 12 hours per sessions, but that would lead to exploits and possibly glitches. I think a big reason we dont have invite only lobbies and other types is to reduce the amount of glitches that resulted from all the lobby types. At this point, what harm would it cause the game is on its death bed. I would probably never use invite only lobbies. The only time I ever used them in GTAO was to do glitches.

When I do it's usually just a blue blip that quickly fades away. Yeah, I'm on Xbox One; hardly ever see another player and they don't really ever mess with me. I WOULD have, back when there was a reason to more before Frontier Pursuits. I also do the two/whatever PVP dailies usually, so I'd have to switch back to do those probably. So it would be an inconvenience, now. My guess is people would on PC, for sure. I still don't know how they play on PC at all, with all the modding/hacking junk. In fact, lately on Xbox One other players actually seem downright friendly (if you bump into them.) Like the guy I thought was going to figure I might try to take his "Sun Gator", but then I saw he was going after it and just went away; then he messages me, "Hey, want to sample this? I already did! " I had no idea another player could sample them after, pretty cool. I WOULD have paid for this on GTAO, but then again I'm on Xbox One so you can just "test nat connection" and get in a solo lobby Edited December 20, 2020 by Krommer Direwrath, kcole4001, 1898 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely-Martin Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I would have, had they arrived far earlier. Now the game just needs to be sacked off. They've no interest in long term players and just want a revolving door of new players to dump a bit of pocket money on gold, get bored and piss off, then on with the next batch. Plus most of the content added so far isn't worth a wank. I would have paid earlier as I had faith they had good long term plans and intended to listen to players. But that turned out to be a complete lie. Na, these clowns don't deserve a dime! Direwrath, 1898, tonko and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb204 Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 I would rent private sessions with gold bars. It would be big selling point for me if we were able to change a couple things within the session. FOR EXAMPLE.... • Disable Aim Assist. • Disable Ability Cards. (basically change things for a more hardcore experience) I would pay gold for that I wouldn’t even care if they were password protected or not. If others wanted to join a rented session/server with hardcore rules then I’d pay gold to provide that experience for others like me who crave Redemption1’s Hardcore Free Roam.

RedM was out there for that. You could actually set the game up any way you wanted, such as turning off the ability for other players to shoot another player, invite whoever you wanted, etc. Unfortunately R* changed something so no new members can join RedM because there is no way for RedM to authenticate your copy of the game anymore. That organization also had the same thing for GTAO under another name, forgot what that was.

The FiveM staff had tweaked the cars and classes to be far more balanced for racing, but they have quite a variety of themed servers apparently.

jazzbone Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Pay for private? Why? Would having private sessions cost R* additional money? GTA online has private sessions, does it cost additional for R* to do so there?. I don't believe private sessions cost R* Shark Card sales or would so with gold sales in RDO? So what's the deal with not having privates already? It can't really be about that silly intermingling gobbledegook? No. I will not pay to play in a private session in RDO. Well, not unless the price is no more than 50 cents per month. Direwrath, kcole4001, Lonely-Martin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've changed the lobby merging again so that if you leave the area you were in when you logged in you stay on the same server and most of those people are still in that original area. I know it's a pain and most don't want to bother but if you're going to be in an area for awhile you can go to change appearance and come back out and your lobby will now be full of people in your area. Just throwing that out there for people who may not know.
