GTA Online Community Update - 7th July 2022

[HipHopHead]

Easier access to snacks and armor, finally.  I don't play that much these days but holy crap that was convoluted to get to them while in the middle of a fight.

[Hazzardtohimself]

I'm going to stay wary until I see whether the new update adds the 'E&E' bugs to PC without them being fixed from XBSX / PS5... but otherwise this is good news. 

 

On the other hand, I feel sorry for the people that hoped for further Dead Dead Online stuff. That's disappointing. 

 

On the other, other hand... I might have to start saving my bandwidth for later this month if GTAO becomes worth downloading and installing again. 

[TinyRakan]

Nice QoL but hopefully they can do some abracadabra and let us do all the heist solo 

[GAUNTLET HELLFIRE]

Good stuff here but it is a bit late. Selling in invite only is good but it is still 5 year old content, buffing payouts is also good but it is still the same missions that have been in the game for the past 9 years. There should have been some new sell missions to go with it. Oppressor MK2 nerf is bad. It hurts people grinding in invite only lobbies and only helps in public but with god mode glitches, being killed on sight and the limits to CEO/MC public lobbies are not worth going in to. The best nerf to the MK2 is to not lock on to players at all. That would still be helpful to players that spent millions to help with grinding and only hurt the griefers but griefers are worth considering at all when it comes to game changes. Over all decent changes but adds nothing really new unless people haven't done anything with busineses but after 2 weeks they will have done all the sell missions multiple times and and it will just be the same thing over and over again. 

 

This game desperately needs new weekly content. New missions, VIP work, business sell missions, races, adversary modes just a couple of new things each week to last a few days. About a month after the contract dlc came out I basically stopped playing GTA until E&E came out and even then I played for about 10 minutes a week to spin the wheel and do the HSW time trial and after completing them all I basically stopped playing again. I have loaded up the game a few times since then but after 10 minutes I just close it and play something else because I don't want to do the same thing again for the hundredth time. If I ever run out of room on my Xbox GTA will be the game getting uninstalled. 

 

Glad to see R* talking about GTA 6 more at least it shouldn't be too far off now.

[Bella Odessa]

Sworn in as special IAA agents???

Yo, Agent 14 Nation RISE!!!

[TheOriginalGunslinger]

Never abused the Mk II (really only used it for a few contact missions), etc… but are they just gonna make “homing missiles” no lock-on permanently? Guess we’ll wait and see.

 

Everytime I hop on that thing it reminds me of a childhood classic. (Minus the flying and missiles of course) 

 

[GTA-Freak-Vi]

So next update will be the cops n crooks DLC? Sounds interesting 

[-Jing-]

Pour one out for mtu method. You're watch is over old friend.

Hopefully they don’t ruin what made GTA IV’s special. I can already see it now… noobs heading straight for the getaway rather than “hide out” and fight it out to rack up kills. Only IV multiplayer veterans will know this.

I wonder what they mean by this, I really wish I didn’t have to call Franklin or go to Ammunation every time I need them. If I can buy ammo from the Interaction Menu, why not armor? Nice to see that change.

 

The snacks/armor section used to be much easier to access in the Interaction Menu. They made it more time consuming with one of the recent updates. Hopefully they're reverting it to its old spot.

Sell in invite only sessions????!!!!!

 

That's a huge win. At last, hey @Yellow Dog with Cone, @Black-Dragon96, and anyone else that joined me/us in our complaints/wants there (I forget many names, or some have changed, lol).

 

I joked the other day in another thread that this would be a fix I'd rather enjoy. Very nice indeed!!!

 

I lowkey wish both DemonicSpaceman and ShadowOperative were here to witness this moment.

 

Or maybe not lmao

More like a couple of missions where we will be wearing IAA clothing. 

[mute!]

Why no mention of an updated PC version? It's July for Christ sake.

It was just a few new paints, couple time trials, a couple of cars and a few old cars can go faster. It will probably be added with the next update like director mode was with consoles after the PC version launched.

[RyuNova]

People do realise all this was likely the Expanded and Enhanced crap they planned for the PS5 and Xbox Series versions right? QoL additions and balancing.

 

They just stripped it out and release it as an update, f*ck us, we were gonna buy the game anyway so why do any more than the bare minimum?

[Lemoyne outlaw]

i think the thing im most excited for is being able to access health and armor items easier. i really hope it's like red dead where there is an item wheel. it's so convenient. other than that being able sell in invite only sessions sounds nice. as for working with the iaa or whatever it sounds meh. we already have plenty working with the government stuff in singleplayer and multiplayer. but at least it sounds more interesting than dr dre. or should i say dr lame. i will reserve opinions until it comes out. i don't really get hyped for gta online stuff much anymore. it's such an old outdated and stale game. the dlcs are only fun for a day or two. then it really hits you just how old the game is. im more looking forward to gta 6. 

[futureproof]

sell missions in invite only. it's the f*cking worst that it took them so long but better late then never. truly pog

I'll be sending you the bill for my upcoming therapy session for reminding me of those two... characters.

Ahh, the memories. 

 

But yeah, the mods are probably quite pleased it's died down and now pretty much put to bed, finally.

Welcome, old friend. Good to see a familiar name upon us.

@Lonely-Martin, thank you, my good man. It's good to see you're still around as well as I find it harder and harder to find recent posts by some of the good old folks that used to be around. You should be seeing me around more often.

 

Not to go off-topic, I'm really excited about what's being proposed in this update. I was just thinking yesterday about how the old content should have its payouts updated to be more in line with current times and it looks like that will indeed be happening. Businesses in I/O was something that seemed out of the bounds of this reality so it's doubly-surprising it will be a legit thing too in the future.

 

Let's go. I'm excited.

I'm looking forward to these changes to. It's been a while since I did some businesses so for me, it'll be refreshing to add some to my usual shenanigans out there. It's better to see the more positive responses to these too.

 

Sure, it's a little later than many hoped but with any luck these changes prove just the ticket and things overall become that bit more enjoyable. 

 

But glad to see you'll be popping by more often. Always good rwadung/conversation with you @Volganor. Must dash but I'll be back soon.

[DrEeveell]

If they nerf the MkII missiles down to the same level as the Buzzard, they'll still be good for PvE missions. If they're worse than the Buzzard, I'll just use that instead. Here's hoping they just don't totally destroy them.

They should also change the Apartment heists so you can do them with 2 people like the Diamond Casino.

You're probably going to see a lot more jets in the sky.

Prepare those explosive rounds!

Luckily, those are more easily countered than the MK2 (Explosive rounds like you said being a prime example)

and the ability to launch Sell Missions in Invite Only sessions

 

Honestly, this is the part of the update I'm most hyped about as a mostly solo player. Never even bothered to set up businesses until recently due to the freemode requirement.

[Arrows to Athens]

I'm really glad that they're not only going to nerf the Mk2's homing missiles, but also its countermeasures. In the right hands, the Mk2 can be almost unstoppable, since the rider would know how to use chaff, which would render the Toreador useless. However, what's excited me more is the increased pay outs on missions and races. If they're at least permanently doubled from their current state, then I'm happy.

I don't think it's that dlc as such it doesn't mention much like that

[Lonely-Martin]

You know, I got so caught up in the invite only aspect, I forgot to mention the obvious Lonely Martin request...

 

More garage space please. Lots more.
