GTA Online Community Update - 7th July 2022

[Valiant ENT CEO]

May peace be with you if you actually need a private lobby to sell product these days..

 

LL1KC Billionaire.

 

Oh but look.. We moved snacks from here to there for you guyz. This should be a good 5 or 6 hours of fun in a couple weeks. >·<

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

 

Or maybe not lmao

You and me both.

I still remember that guy telling me "sales in private will never happen".

Well, Dragon 1 : Spaceman 0

What are you smoking, it runs great on PS5 at least.

 

I think this is a great sounding update. I am not convinced I have enough faith in R* to implement things correctly much as I'd love to believe in what they say. Hard to trust them after GTA+.

It runs like crap on Pc. And I have a 2080 ti with a 11gen i9

[DuhBritishTea]

rare W from Rockstar.

[Moth]

The fact that they are listening to the game's community now, makes me suspicious. Wonder if the game did that well on the PS5...

[Rammer2k]

Curious.  They say sell missions in invite only, but does that mean we still have to deal with the bs of public lobbies to restock bunkers, offices, etc?

[GeneralDee]

This update sounds really awesome. Especially since I'm an Invite Only player which limits me to being a thief and assassin. Now I can become a drug and arms dealer too, yay! I only have one more hope...that they increase the amount of special amo. More FMJ rounds in my Heavy Revolver MKII please!

[Jenkiiii]

It's pretty obvious that we're not getting any new content as such. Yes, some IAA contact missions and a corona to trigger them, probably, but no concrete news about extra properties or businesses, just expanded existing businesses.

 

But so what in the current age of GTA online? This time last year, all we got was pretty much QoL and people lapped it up. Personally, I love seeing this.

 

And nerfing the OPII? I didn't think they would have the guts to do it, but what a great move. If the missiles are Buzzard-esque? We can finally start appreciating how nifty and accessible the OPII is instead of hating on it so much. It has its uses.

 

@Valiant ENT CEO, I think you're right. For long-term players, why do you even need invite-only sessions at this juncture of GTA online? I've always sold in public, just try to get favorable conditions first. Some of you woosies LOL . Geez, what do you guys even need money for in 2022? Come round to my pad in Vinewood, I've got a few million for you all .

 

Anyway, happy days! Everyone excited, no weirdos like Shadow Operative and his bizarre disagrees and flaming no matter what, and everyone chatting (for now). I love updates!!!

Post-editing. I do it for a living :)

[Arrows to Athens]

After having played today and being thrown into three lobbies where the max CEO limit was reached, it struck me. Have they acknowledged our complaints about the max limit of CEO/MCs? I damn hope they did, seeing as they're intending on implementing several QoL updates soon. 

[Bigglo145]

So they dlc is releasing in a couple of weeks?

Over the moon with the invite only sell thing. Hit one billion in nightclub sales a while back. Same day I got level 1000 at car meet. I had been thinking about shutting it down. My GTA "home" is next to my nightclub (LSIA), so anything that includes more club work suits me. Rest of it sounds good too.

 

I had been happy with the idea of some filler for the summer, then a big contract-style showtime special later in the year. The fact that they are staying away from that with this update makes me OK with it. Nice surprise.

 

Yay, some good vibes from R*.

 

Mk2 nerf is a shame for the serious business man. Don't see the difficulty giving current function anywhere but public.

Good question. Though I’m not familiar with coding, looking at it from a logical point of view sell and supply missions are most likely tied together, and looking back at the arcade terminal when it came out it was possible to resupply and sell briefly in invite only sessions before it was patched so that might just be the case once again, but permanent this time around.

If it means putting more resources towards GTA VI then hey , screw RDO  

It had a three year run, that's more support than most games get.

All it needed was an end to the Leclerk storyline imo

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.

It's a bitch to reach the snacks after that one update, I forget which one did it but I'm glad they're making it easier to reach

 

It's cool that they're finally allowing Invite Only sells but I've got the feeling they're only doing this as GTA VI is (speculated) next year

The 'select finale boost', I sure hope that it's the original Heists. All of them cause they take longer than Cayo Perico to do and pay peanuts. I know it's heavily unlikely but it'd be SO amazing if they add more checkpoints to Prison Break. I can't be bothered helping people in it anymore as somebody ALWAYS dies at the beach making us do that sh*t all over

 

Also hope that Karen's involved in the new missions. I still hate the fact they introduced Rackman when Karen was standing right there(And also the only currently known and alive IAA agent to not feature in the update)

[EkaSwede]

since a lot of us have been using various tricks to sell in peace, the ability to sell in Invite at least means we can do it with friends.

 

But I am still wary.

 

Also OP's link only gives me a black screen because this sh*tty ass laptop I'm currently stuck with cannot load it.

 

Also, I hope this Invite Only thing also applies to SPecial Vehicle Work and MOC missions so we don't have to be in a public session for no damn reason.

[oleg_aka_djmeg]

Let's make it bad for everyone so that later down the line we can make it good and have people praising us for zero effort work. Don't get me wrong i'm all excited for these QOL changes but it's been more than 5 fuсking years for some of these things.

How so?

 

Even if they missiles get nerfed, you'll still have a really versatile vehicle for grinding that has like 20 missiles, countermeasures (although those aren't really useful on PvE tbh), can spawn at your feet, go virtually anywhere on the map (including air and sea) and also go directly into your Terrorbyte.

 

It's pretty much the easiest compromise possible, seeing how popular and infamous the Mk II has become.

[Hazzardtohimself]

Rockstar: "You'll be able to sell in Invite Only lobbies" 

Also Rockstar: "Sales in Invite Only lobbies will be reduced in value by 50% 60% 75% and you'll be attacked by infinitely respawning Blue Sultan gangs in Nightsharks, and Avon Juggernauts in fully crewed Valkyries" 

 

Also also Rockstar: "Holding warehouse / biker-business / bunker / nightclub stock in Invite Only lobbies will carry an increased chance (+80%) of being raided" 

 

Also also also Rockstar: "Alternatively, players will have the opportunity to store and sell in Invite Only sessions with standard NPC interference and at normal percentage rates during a subscription to GTA+" 

 

(I'm joking... probably)

Come on, man . How does the OPII nerf affect you in any way if all you do is grind in solo lobbies for yet more billions you will never spend . I'm twisting your melons BTW.

 

It's because of so many people complaining about how overpowered it is that Rockstar are finally nerfing it. Most people are fine playing in public sessions and I personally cherish other players on the map because I am not a naturally social person, although I do appreciate how important invite-only lobbies are for small groups of friends and crews who don't want any hassle.

 

Now we can play and sell in public with one of the major antagonists being less of a pest, so thank you Rockstar for that!

 

It will also mean that free-aim lobbies on next gen will become even more empty as people hide away in invite-only, and that griefers could become more rampant and less checked in public - there is always a downside - but thank you, Rockstar, for giving us the option of selling wherever we want.

 

Anyway, Rockstar are only unshackling earning potential because they are winding GTA online down, now they have GTA+ to fall back on and their next game under full development.

Not to mention it's the only way to insta-summon a flying vehicle if the CEO limit is reached(which is 85% of the time it seems... sure would be nice if they upped that number!)

I use it while getting Event Cargo so I at least stand a chance at getting it. There's no way I'm driving to Paleto Bay and back just to find out it's something I own, the MK II can half your trip(And I shorten it further by stealing a Lazer on my way back from Clucking Bell)

[SilverRST]

I keep seeing mentions about the Michael dlc aka Movie dlc. Perhaps, with this news, players will now come back to play more often and the movie dlc is preserved for winter dlc.

 

And also very good news on selling in invite-only sessions but that's like, 7 years late? And also good news on the noobbike mk2 nerf. Though I'm curious in which ways it will be nerfed.

Give it a bad Buzzard homing missiles or even jetpack homing missiles and the noobbike will be a sh*tbike mk2.

That's likely to be December, yeah. It was speculated to be this one but it looks like they're finally utilizing Cops and Crooks content that got scrapped in 2020

Also probably because the December update is a big one so expensive too. From a business standpoint this is a better choice. But, people will be of course on vacations so it would be a bad timing too to release movie dlc this summer. I could use some distraction so I'm curious about this summer dlc.

Mother of God...

 

I just imagined actual Sultan RS cars driving Nightsharks and I can't stop laughing. Though I like to call the Blue Sultan gang the "Rockstar Gang". Why? Sultan RS = sultan RockStar.

If we're getting another property, yep!

 

Though this update could just as well have one too, a smaller one like the Tune Shop in Tuners

[GeneralDee]

I'm gonna say this then run out the back door.....RockStar if you're listening, please do not introduce any ultra-futuristic gravity defying vehicles in GTA6! Keep our travels in the 20th and 21st centuries please. Unless gta6 is in years 2100 and beyond.

[Hellbendzor]

Glad something new is coming soon. But I'm a lil suspicious when they start tweaking stuff... Selling in invite only lobbies. Ok with me, I solved that hackers stuff ages ago with my  solo sessions. Hopefully they don't tweak that. And I hope the new snack system won't mess up my keybindings. I'm used to playing as is, and I'm not ready to add a few more keys to my inventory...

 

RDR online. I stopped playing about seven months ago and haven't looked back. Sad they treat it like that, but it is what it is. I'm done with waiting and anticipating. I moved on from a fully upgraded 700+ GB character and haven't looked back. Great game, subpar support for what could potentially a great and longlasting game. But that ship has sailed and monthly meh updates won't bring me back. Sad.

 

I'm looking forward to the new update. I'm more than ready financially. Just a lil suspicious. Improvements tend to mess up things in one way or another. I hope it isn't a Bombushka update which went from a completely cool and useable cargoplane to a large useless POS sitting in my hangar... I was furious about that move. I LOVED that plane and used it for my four bike MC sales... Now I just log out and take the loss when I get that sale. Utter lame move under the motto of 'improving and listening to the community' move. Fixing what needn't be fixed...

 

We'll see. I'm cash ready...

 

 

[Mexicola9302]

Will they also nerf the Deluxo? It would suck if not.

 

I hope they don't reduce the payout of freeroam sale missions, if done in friends only sessions. If they do that i will only buy crates in friends only sessions, but will still sell everything in solo public sessions.

 

I wish we could use the Nightclub sale vehicles for MC businesses, crates and bunker too, it would be so great just selling a full load of cocaine, special cargo and weapons with the Pounder Custom.

[Guest]

Wow, looking forward to this update
