It's not all bad we got yet another useless currency...

 

What is that, four types now? Cash, Gold, Tokens and Capitale...

 

What is next the late 1800s version of bitcoin that none of us knew about..... with nothing to aim for to spend it on and all that...

 

Tokens and Capitale which is spent on items or missions that could have just been unlocked anyway after hitting a certain rank as the tokens give you no benefit to unlock items you don't have the Role rank for anyway, but there we go...

 

Missions to find Capitale to spend it on a bigger mission in which the pay outs are still low but that doesn't matter as nothing to spend it on as everything is inside the Quick Draw passes.

 

I bet in next update and forth that they not going back and ad more stuff for the new currency.....

I have no hope anymore. I'm out and will continue playing the single-player going forward. Unless something changes with how it's being treated I might decide to give it a chance but it's been far too long for them to improve. Also seeing the loading issues unaddressed without any acknowledgement for weeks just goes to show Rockstar has no interest in fixing the bugs.

You're right. I hadn't thought about it that way. I also have almost 100 tokens saved up to go along with all the cash and gold.

 

I haven't even bothered with Capitale. If anything ever comes along that makes it worth anything I'll deal with it then.

SP is so much better. When I played it again I was blown away by how many random encounters there are; by how real the game feels with its slower speed and extra animations; by how much more fun the combat is; by how much less cartoonish it all feels; and by how the guns look more real when you're putting them away. I do still miss my character though, and just wish I could play my online characters in story mode.

Play online in a glitched solo lobby and see how many random encounters that spawn, let alone the random role-related events and legendary animals

[RyuNova]

What an absolute shame...

Blood Money compared to LS Tuners is embarrassing. Imagine if RDO got an update like that, where an entire new business was hidden and not revealed in the Newswire with six new Heists, seventeen new highly customisable vehicles (not Horses) etc.

Damn right.

Solo lobby + changing TV Settings to black and white = one badass 1950's western

I don't think R* wants those things to spawn very often in an effort to force players to play longer and grind more or buy gold to get ahead.

Not really, the p2p connection can't handle a lot of encounters when there are a lot of players in the lobby, even the animal spawn is much much higher in solo lobbies Because there are no other players

I just finished a post on that topic in another thread. You reading my mind?

 

I agree with you.

 

But I also believe R* will not fix that issue cuz it does benefit their numbers (length of time that players are in game) and income to keep players from doing things too quick. Probably the reason they don't want to allow solo lobbies. Has nothing to do with splitting the players base. They know if they drop lobby size to 9 or less things work a lot better but they refuse to do it.

 

They flagrantly take away anything that benefits the players or players have fun with.

It is but the easy explanation is that the people working on this game have probably been playing GTA since they were old enough to walk but have never once sat thru a serious Western. They do not like this game.

What do you mean? You never seem the classic western movie "The Naturalist"?

 

Or what about "The good, The bad, The Capitale"?

Even GTA V. I just thought of something weird:

 

I was playing GTAO on the XBOX 360 and then transferred that character to the Xbox One with a free cosmetic upgrade (when 360 was no longer going to

get the new updates/updated cars because it could not handle it.)

 

Now I'm wanting to get an Xbox Series X, AGAIN to be also playing GTAO on it; that is pretty freaking nuts Seems like that game could have kids that were 8.

No doubt about that. My youngest is 14 and he probably knows more about that time in history than the developers, although he's seen his share of Hollywood westerns.  

[Tampinha85]

Im telling you guys. These clothes we are getting is because some higher up niece's just graduated in fashion college and wants her first job. 

 

So much potential wasted. I still have goosebumps going trough my wardrobe and seeing that horrific jacket with FANGS on its shoulders. FANGS!

I heard they were going to add some but then they found out players were asking for them and R* was like....Oh hell no. Forget about it.

Saturday I decided I was going to spend the morning doing the dozen or so treasure maps I had in my satchel in a solo lobby.  I only ended up doing 3-4 due to various events and encounters that popped up in my travels

[YNNEL]

Thing is you get all these YouTubers doing 30 Minute long videos describing how bad the update is then the next day they are streaming it again. Rockstar won’t take any notice as long as people keep putting up with this nonsense.

See you man. Personally I've stopped hoping for anything significant. I'll continue to play the game in short 30 minute bursts whenever there's a new pass but that's about it. I'm gonna be posting less and less on these forums as well I think. Too much disappointment.

Intern: It seems the players want more authentic clothing and weapons of the time.

 

Imran: What? Why?

 

Intern: Apparently they feel this game would be an amazing experience if it were more of a Cowboy RPG.

 

Imran: Why? We gave them an outfit covered in buckles.

 

Intern: Yes and most of the playerbase disliked it. It seems only players who prefer GTAO thought the buckle outfit looked "kewl" and the majority would prefer clothing that will enhance an RPG experience no matter how minor it is.

 

Imran: RPG? They want RPG's in the Wild West? LOLOL THAT'S NOT VERY WESTERN.

 

Intern: No, RPG as in Role Pla-

 

Imran: f*ck em. Reskin already existing strangers missions, call it new and wake me when the GTAO team has a new DLC in mind.

You and I are in the same boat. Getting hyped is pointless. I really like the game, and its my "go-to" if I just want some casual fun. Otherwise, I play until I finish a pass and wait until the next. Its a shame, really. I'm far more invested in RDR than I ever was GTA. But it feels mostly pointless to hop on.

[TagoKG]

R* have probably 4-5 months with drip feed pass 2 & 3 content , easy money from new players .

 

Saw some new players with 70-100 gold buying  the arthur  outfit and they still need to spend some $$$ for the all gang outfits

[5.7]

The armed tank wagons, flying bikes with ability to drop fire bottles, dynamite and all the best is to come! I see it now, my pink furr boots, rainbow colorful gunbelt, 20 semi auto hot cattLeMatols and my polkadot PJs it going be sooooo western-era themed it shock me that much it’ll kill me before covid19

A week or so back someone posted pics of some hats that will added to the catalog.  Could be soon, not sure, but if you know what's good for you don't look at them.
