Ok...let's see. I think you are making me more serious than i do myself, about this "horny police stuff". :kekw: It's just relief comedy here and there, lol.

 

What are your talking about? This is a serious forum and we only have serious discussions. There is no room for humor.

@Pedinhuh has the right idea, 5-10mil is all you should have on your bank account, unless you are either a machogist or just dont want to play the game anymore.

For a few years now each DLC brings 20-30 mil worth of stuff (people often forget about clothes & related items, as did @Grinch of Los Santos by the looks of things, plus there's always the dripfeed of more pricey vehicles too) and you should not be able to buy everything you want on DLC-launch, because that ruins the whole thing

 

The "core gameplay loop" is making and spending money, you play missions to get money, you use that money to get some new vehicle or building or whatever, then repeat. If you have large sums of money ready to be spent, as weird as it may sound you dont really have a reason to play the game anymore, you can just buy sh*t and be oblivious to the value/effort that you put in. If you run around with a large bank account you essentially screw yourself out of the sense of achievement that you get when you've grinded together the money for something.

Consider the below example, a new DLC just dropped and we look over the shoulders of two players, who do you think will get bored with the game first? (as a whole, not this specific example dlc)
- 666mil bank account user, has long forgotten the struggle that got them past the 650mil mark, buys everything day 1 & then complains how half of it sucks day 2, has lost all interest in the DLC within a week
- 5mil bank account user, still remembers the struggle they had to go trough to earn that, just buys 1-2 things they really want on day 1, starts grinding & researching for everything else, slowly gaining a few more cool things (and avoiding the bad purchases) in the coming days/weeks

Im sorry, i totally get how some of you like having large bank accounts as some kind of achievement & i totally respect that, but in my experience most of you will stop playing for extended periods of time or entirely, because in the end you will start using the money and then you have no more reason to play

 

@Grinch of Los Santos I sincerely hope you can have a large bank account without it essentially ruining the game, but you'd be a rare case if you manage that. Good luck to you sir!

Great points, but I'm starting to feel some tension here, I hope I'm not making anyone upset here with my own goal. :/ 

I never stop playing regardless, The whole point of my goal is to simply achieve something I thought I'd never achieve ... $100 million. When it comes to DLC, I buy mostly everything, not all, but most. Test, sell stuff I didn't expect would be crap. Now, remember, this is before I reached 82 million. So I was already on my goal path when they drop. Today, I've stated in response to my post from 1 year ago when I said my goal was 50 million before Festive Surprise 2020 came out, that I have gone beyond that goal and currently at 82 million and think I should push to the ultimate personal goal of 100 million. 

With the upcoming Festive Surprise 2021 this Holiday Season, about 25% - 30% of the money will be spent anyway, with the remainder going towards the changeover to Next Generation Online. :)

I just hit 700+ mil in the bank yesterday and have made about 1.3 bil over 8 years. I have been playing since day one. I have always been over 100 mil since early 2019 and before that consistently at 20 mil until 2018. Nothing has ever happened to that money. I feel like this is a bullsh*t scare tactic. If you're not modding or glitching then you have nothing to be scared of like me. On top of that I play on PC so that should make it worse but it doesn't.

Spoiler

 

Since we know Dr.Dre has new music coming out in this upcoming update and the high likelihood of his character being involved, it makes more sense one of the contracts or missions will involve a rival Nightclub owned by whoever stole Dr.Dre's phone during his Cayo Perico cameo, blasting Dr.Dre unreleased music throughout the Nightclub.

 

Digressing a little bit, the Music Locker is no different to the Nightclub from the technical perspective. If Rockstar is going to the length of having the Nightclub fit a mission environment, then they may as well update the Music Locker.

 

More importantly, all this is likely just part of a single new contract/mission. We could see more contracts or missions that utilize old businesses/interiors.

Most of them are, making money legitimately isn't going to get me into 'Rockstar Trouble', I don't see the problem in wanting to reach a goal lol. Besides, it'll be spent on Next Gen anyway.

hmm...they added a copy of the meth lab interior for the biker contract.
maybe they will do it similiar, but to provide variety, they will make it so the contract chooses a random design so the interior doesn´t look identical each time

If u have a heist set from previous than this week, you will need to do that heist first and then you go there a 2nd time and it will be panther, i guess.

So...unless it was very unlucky from you...or they change it. And only one char can get panther now. But the 1st time the panther appeared in the game i did panther with both chars.

You sure? Paying the 25k setup fee and then doing nothing after that still counts as an active heist.

I always pay the 25k setup fee asap so I have hard mode. So that is most likely the problem but it could also just be a second character thing. I don't have a second character so I wouldn't be able to test.

@Grinch of Los Santos I sincerely hope you can have a large bank account without it essentially ruining the game, but you'd be a rare case if you manage that. Good luck to you sir!

 

I sort of disagree with this sentiment.

 

I understand your point of course and agree for some people, having lots of money to buy everything on day one can leave a player finding themselves bored quicker or feeling like there wasn't enough content to sustain their interest etc.

 

But it does depend on how one plays the game too. I was always a player that's more than happy if I had a 2-5m stash so I could have a look at a DLC and buy a couple bits to get started (a new car and/or the basic property). But over time as I played, the bank just kept going up, I still am that player at heart.

 

I like helping others complete or unlock things, and I enjoy completing the awards in the pause menu too, plus I like going into profit on a business or what not as we get them, so regardless of the money I've got, I've always got plenty of reasons to play. I can't stand grinding at all (only did so once to get the go go blista, it was awful, lol. lesson learned there - Hence why it's easy to ignore the arena/car meet ranking up - Just not my kind of fun and I get bored doing the same activity too frequently - Love on call too much for the variety).

 

And more so since the likes of the nightclub, casino heist, cayo, and these auto shop contracts, money just gets easier and easier to earn that I'm past 250m in the bank and just past 1bn earned now too, and it doesn't stop me playing how I usually do. I can just pop on and can't not make what was once considered 'great money' for a session these days.

 

Equally, I enjoy knowing I can buy what I want and get stuck in to whatever comes. As much as I can agree having something to work toward achieving like buying new toys etc is ideal in ways, I did all that and now I'm benefitting from it, and I do anyway with the challenges I put on myself to make profit or fill awards from a DLC etc. If anything, because I spend 10-20m or more on day one, I start at a deficit so to make spent money back, I have a bigger challenge ahead of me to recoup losses and turn profit. Plus it free's me up to play more things where money isn't a driving factor like helping others and not being too fussed if a heist goes wrong, or filling awards that don't pay money. I can waste hours just dicking about in the casino or on arcade machines for example without feeling I could be earning to buy that thing I want.

 

So yeah, I do disagree with the 'you shouldn't be able to buy everything straight away' point here. If anything, it's why GTA thrives because we can all get the gaming we want from it no matter how we play. I don't think it's a rare thing either as I know many that are loaded and play on, and as we saw from the billion dollar bounty days or how people glitch money and still play, many still enjoy their gaming by not having money as the main motivation.

I cant really agree with that.

As a matter of fact grinding to now well over 300 Million probably made me play the game more than I would have without doing that.

 

Thats mostly because after playing the game for more than half a decade (and grinding) I basicly hvae nothing left to buy. Garages are full, hangar is full, main char has a yacht (secondary since today aswell), I own pretty much every bussiness fully upgraded, all guns with all attatchments...

The only reason I kept playing was that I enjoyed Cayo Perico so much and because I had a ton of cash wich allowed me to do other less profitable stuff just for fun.

So you want to allow male players into a female-exclusive salon if they pretend to be women? Sounds familiar to real world events. :kekw:

 

You killed it on this one. I forgot people like that existed. f*ck! Yes they can come in too. More men play as women in gta online than women do women. 

 

Can we get a poll going here? J/k

 

On the topic of grinding: A couple months ago I passed the earnings mark of 1B. And then just recently passed the 1B Spent mark. I still enjoy every mission. Minus a few that have 4 player requirements. And I think theres a few DDH missions I loathe at this point..simple as they may be.

 

I respect anyone willing to take a loss to a real CEO and keep grinding. MC presidents are almost always BUSTER. Like 97% are straight freemode simps. Kinda sad

Yeah, Cayo was a blast IMO. Like the casino, I really enjoyed trying it in various way. Plus as I mentioned above regarding filling awards, just filling the 20m in secondary loot one made sure it was such a profitable thing. Same with these contracts in the auto shop, by the time I've done the 100 to fill that award (currently done 39), that'll be a real tasty sum. 

 

I really liked the car delivery aspects to the auto shop though too, both the blu dots scattered around the map and the one's we tune/deliver. And before that, the treasure around the map/island to collect whenever the mood takes me. I hope whatever comes at Xmas has a sprinkling of similar little side things to do like that. Just mixing it up and plodding about I make a small fortune. :D

During covid shutdowns I got to a hundred million and now I'll be set for at least two updates. I did this once before years ago as well. It really frees you up to play the activities you want instead of the most lucrative ones.

Well I'm not sure how to tell you this, but I feel pretty free to play this game however I want with only 10 millions in my bank.

 

This feeling comes after knowing that I own everything in the game that I want to own.

 

I should have clarified that I don't see the point in hoarding money after reaching the point I reached though.

- Objectively Vladivostok FM was trash, the only vaguely good song was that taxi one, everything else made me wanna OD on vodka. Also, jokes aside, saying something objectively sucks just shows how you cant be objective, you like strange russian music, i like strange edm music, so? cant we all just get along instead of calling each others musical preference "objectively not good"?

- Im sorry that you dont have the kind of friends in GTA where you end up chatting about random things so much that you figure you might as well do it at the beach party or one of the clubs, i've spend hours upon hours at ML/Cayo/My nightclubs/Friends nightclubs, just because you dont know anyone that has doesn't mean the places dont get used.

- The 3rd thing really cracks me up, you are literally describing the gameplay of all missions/quests in 99% of games, INCLUDING GTA 5 SINGLEPLAYER!!! either you have some really rose tinted glasses or you put way to much praise into "after you're done, dont go back to A!"!?!??

- Look i agree KDJ and whats-her-face are an annoying bunch, but to take that as the new base-line is just weird, look at the last few dlc, try name any 'important' characters besides those two that have been poorly written or acted? yea i cant find any either, just because in a lot of people's opinion those two kind of sucked doesn't mean they are not well written (more like the opposite? we're all going along with their acting?) nor does it mean all npc's will be like that in the future.

- Heists keep the wheels of the money printer spinning, its the biggest source of income for most of the player base & the thing that keeps bringing back record numbers of players (read: pleases R*, T2 & investors), besides that i would very much love if you can explain how a celebrity cameo hurts the game? Please tell me you understand that there are different teams & studios doing different things at R*? just because some celebrity shows up doesn't mean they add one less car or anything like that??

 

----------

 

 

Im sorry but this needs to be said, you consider yourself some weird "horny police", but you also want

- the toilet visits from tbogt

- more lingerie

- pimp dlc & you think we cant have that because of feminists

Oh and people that dislike KDJ & that b*tch, they prolly horny but cant get some?

 

HA!

Yes, if you "buy" a previous heist, even if you didn't any prep, it counts as a previous heist not under the "golden panther tunable". I had a heist set from previous, i finish it and now i scooped again and i have panther (2nd char).

ok? that doesn't mean it doesn't have cool stuff or variety? it arguably has more content than either of the updates I listed, new races, new tuner hangout with test track, new cars (obviously), new property with garage space and customization, new mini heists, I agree the rank progression is bullsh*t but everything else is more than either I/E or Executives and to say it doesn't have variety is just ridiculous

 

Tuner hangout is boring with very little to do there

Races are just races, nothing too groundbreaking in them.

New property is like bare minimum for any update + the property is just a garage. We've seen plenty of garages already in this game.

The contracts are cool but nothing too groundbreaking again

 

I just want the new property for the next update to be something a bit more interesting than just a garage, please r* ?

The arcade was cool for casino heists for example. The minigames are great fun and I like the little t-shirts and trophies you can win from them

And more so since the likes of the nightclub, casino heist, cayo, and these auto shop contracts, money just gets easier and easier to earn that I'm past 250m in the bank and just past 1bn earned now too, and it doesn't stop me playing how I usually do. I can just pop on and can't not make what was once considered 'great money' for a session these days.

 

Equally, I enjoy knowing I can buy what I want and get stuck in to whatever comes. As much as I can agree having something to work toward achieving like buying new toys etc is ideal in ways, I did all that and now I'm benefitting from it, and I do anyway with the challenges I put on myself to make profit or fill awards from a DLC etc. If anything, because I spend 10-20m or more on day one, I start at a deficit so to make spent money back, I have a bigger challenge ahead of me to recoup losses and turn profit. Plus it free's me up to play more things where money isn't a driving factor like helping others and not being too fussed if a heist goes wrong, or filling awards that don't pay money. I can waste hours just dicking about in the casino or on arcade machines for example without feeling I could be earning to buy that thing I want.

 

So yeah, I do disagree with the 'you shouldn't be able to buy everything straight away' point here. If anything, it's why GTA thrives because we can all get the gaming we want from it no matter how we play. I don't think it's a rare thing either as I know many that are loaded and play on, and as we saw from the billion dollar bounty days or how people glitch money and still play, many still enjoy their gaming by not having money as the main motivation.


I really believe that at some point making money it's just an OCD symptom. But i see the game taking too much "stand alone/lone wolf" routes here. If grinders were already quite the "anti-socials" now that they can basically do the most profitable heist alone, well, we know that some of the interactivity factor in the game goes away. Still, i think the main problem is that people don't really know how to fully enjoy the game...you basically have two major groups in the GTA Online community, as i said before, one is the grinders, that are quite the lone wolfs and the other group are the people who thinks that GTA is COD and are annoying try-hards (that helps the toxicity of the lobbies), worried with their K/D's and making you not know if their "years of spartan training in Counter Strike that made them masters of the sniper" are just mods, or if in fact they are very good shooters with a little help from helmets and bullshark testosterone. So if people are creative enough they could have a blast with the sand box style of gta online, like those videos i saw from the Vanoss crew, before they got bored of gta and now it's quite rare to see a video about it or with indeed funny and creative stuff like they did back in the day.

I feel that R* is missing the point here...what would maybe be more profitable than making heists, which leads to making some building for players burn 5M there to upgrade it, thus shark cards sells in order to make those heists? Maybe giving a lot of role-play aspects to the game where people would be incentivized to not grind so much* and instead socialize (like they seems to want us to do, bcz "hey, here's another social space for you in this dlc although we didn't thought very well about it, and so due to lack of planning or good ideas they are bland and no one comes here bcz there's basically almost nothing to do inside", so people would be distracted in that stuff and would grind less, so, more shark card sells.  

But we need good ideas and solid ones. A mall, a coffe shop with billiards, flippers and some "innocent card games that doesn't involve bets, bcz then 40% of the players could play it i guess", a bowling alley, a public arcade shop with pvp and co-op arcade games, dancing mini-game in the nightclubs and WC visits for everyone! We bonk later, don't worry! :kekw:

*still, i believe that R* know that maybe the grinders with fortunes of millions are like 10% of the player base and the billionaires are like 2% of them, that's why they don't bother with giving us heists Cayo Perico style bcz they sell the shark cards for the remaining 88-90%.

Since we are all on the topic of goals and money I just wanted to say I also love going for the awards and I actually only have 13 more left to go for those being: co-driver rally races (5/25), first person heists (18/26), 6 arcade game awards (3 Wizard of ruin, 2 Space Monkey 3, and 1 Penetrator), autoshop contracts (70/100), and those 4 creator awards which I have no clue how i'm going to go about doing.

I grind about 20m for the DLC, then I will buy all vehicles I like and the new property. Then I will show off my new cars in the old contact missions and do the new missions/heists whatever. I'm not a friend of public free roam nor the existing businesses but prefer playing missions with others.

 

Speculating about the DLC, maybe we see English Dave again, he was in a cage on Cayo Perico, was there ever an explanation why this happened and how he finally left from there?

Since we know Dr.Dre has new music coming out in this upcoming update and the high likelihood of his character being involved, it makes more sense one of the contracts or missions will involve a rival Nightclub owned by whoever stole Dr.Dre's phone during his Cayo Perico cameo, blasting Dr.Dre unreleased music throughout the Nightclub.

 

Digressing a little bit, the Music Locker is no different to the Nightclub from the technical perspective. If Rockstar is going to the length of having the Nightclub fit a mission environment, then they may as well update the Music Locker.

 

More importantly, all this is likely just part of a single new contract/mission. We could see more contracts or missions that utilize old businesses/interiors.

 

I just pray they will finally use the Bahama Mammas... It only needs like two collision fixes, and its been in the files since OG Heists... Imagine reusing the same interiors 5-10 times and not using one that's pretty much done and unexplored by majority of the community.
