MOC and Avenger can now be considered mobile car workshops then...

 

I wish I could store the ruiner 2000 back there.

I really don't understand perico nerf in terms of they saying

First:
all Heists will be aligned to have the same cooldown timer of 1 in-game day (48 minutes) when playing as a group, 
So no casino recon 5 mins after completing previous one? Yes

Solo playthroughs of The Cayo Perico Heist Finale will trigger a cooldown of 3 in-game days.
3 days, one day is 48minutes our real time so... almost 2 hours and a half That's a lot

Second:
And after stealing a high value Primary Target in The Cayo Perico Heist Finale, the higher value Primary Targets will appear less often for the next 72 hours, while the value of Secondary Targets will increase. 
This is thing i dont understand
high value? But almost everything is high value? Isn't that the point of heist? to steal that one expensive item, i know that there is tequilla which is worth almost 1mln and diamond up to 1,4mln but its still a lost especially if you take your time to go around island and bag coke and you can escape with your 1,4-1,8 mln depending on main target.

And will appear less for 72 in game hours? But cooldown is already 3 days? so you would have to "wait" another 3 days or they just said 72h instead of 3days and its same thing? I dont know...
i like that value of Secondary Targets will increase

If someone understand that second thing i mention,quote me, 
But please, don't shout.

Yeah, I think that is a point being missed.  This is targeting the solo player guy, and I am not sure why they are doing that.  To offset extra $ people will make in private lobbies now?  It's a valid question.

Now that I'm taking my time to actually read it all:

 

It really, REALLY feels like they are addressing almost EVERYTHING that we have been asking for years, isn't?

 

Is this the "goodbye" update from the game, or are we finally reaching the endgame after so many years?

 

Definitely feels like it.

[Wesk_]

i really don’t like that cayo perico “nerf”, this cooldown is a bit tooo much, 

 

but otherwise the rest of QoL updates are great and look exciting

Good news everyone! Griefers' & tryhards' fap material will disappear.

Question is, will the K/D ratio still be visible in freemode or will it just "freeze"

I don't think it's endgame YET but it'll be coming within the next year or two I'd say, especially if they start gearing up for GTA VI with a reveal and marketing.

-All vehicles with access to the LS Car Meet will be able to be equipped with Low Grip Tires, giving players even more customization options when modifying vehicles at the LS Car Meet.

 

GUYS DRIFT TAMPA WITH DRIFT TIRES, DRIFT YOSEMITE WITH DRIFT TIRES...OPEN WHEEL RACECARS WITH DRIFT TIRES!!!!

 

OH MY f*ckING GOD!!!!

 

-Players will no longer incur a charge for destroying another player’s Weaponized Personal Vehicle, avoiding penalties for those who return fire on (and successfully neutralize) attackers.

 

YES YES YES YES YES IM GONNA DESTROY EVERY SINGLE MK2 ON SIGHT NOW!!!!

 

-The Avenger and Mobile Operations Center Vehicle Workshops will accommodate any vehicle that can fit, as opposed to only select vehicles (excluding the Oppressor Mk II, which is modified via its own workshop inside the TerrorByte).

 

OH HOHOHOHO IM ALREADY SALIVATING AT THE SHENANIGANS I CAN DO WITH MY SCRAMJET

 

-The Legendary Motorsport and Southern San Andreas Super Autos websites will feature new filters and browsing shortcuts, which can be tabbed using L1/R1 or LB/RB on console.

 

FOR f*ckS SAKE, ABOUT f*ckING TIME!

 

-Meanwhile, the Sparrow helicopter will have Chaff and Flare Countermeasures available when being modified inside the Kosatka

 

AHAHAHAHAHA EAT sh*t AND DIE, OP MK2 MOUTHBREATHERS!!!!!

 

-More models have also been added to the Fixture Remover, along with a new Anti Grief Ghosting option to ghost players driving in the wrong direction, an option to set the specific time of day for a Race, and the ability to scale Checkpoint size.

 

Fixed weather and time of the day is EXACTLY what my WRC rally Playlist is missing and I didn't even asked for it!!!!

Feels like RS is worried that players are going to be cashing in now in invite only sessions and this was meant to be an offset.  That is exactly how suits think.

You seem convinced that KD thing is going to really change griefing.  I think you are going to be very disappointed.

Good question... We'll see in about 88 hrs. But as Phil Collins sings: "I don't care anymore"

[motomami]

Omg every paragraph I got to I was like:

 

Cayo nerf is good, now i'll stop getting spam invites from this Cayo addicted friend that just does it all day all night and nothing else.

 

Option to disable chat altogether on PC though seems like a band-aid fix to me. Why not go to the root of the problem? Funny that there was nothing in there about fixing the cheating or exploit issues.

Not for the big picture, but at least the K/D farming aspect will be stripped away to some degree. Griefing sadly will always exist in a game with such a fast variety of weapons and weaponized vehicles. Players will still grief just for the fun of it and that will never change no matter the changes R* is trying to push.

I think the “high value” cayo targets refer to the pink Diamond and panther statue basically. If you steal a pink Diamond then next heist you’ll get bonds, ruby, or tequila. The heist after only ruby or tequila. I don’t think the actual value would diminish, you just rule out the chance of getting the same main loot twice or getting the pink Diamond twice. 
 

Honestly it’s not that bad to me. We ALL knew Cayo was overpowered in money making and had time to prepare. They’re raising pay in every other form of the game and are revitalizing businesses so it’s not that big a deal to me. And most of you are sitting on plenty of cash anyway. Just spend it on what you want instead of saving endlessly to reach some useless number.

Give me that Sparrow with the chaff and Im going eat up those mk2's. Heheh. Honestly though I wish they would fix the vehicle icons on the ps4. Every aircraft is a damn plane for some reason. And I know forever and ever my Rocket Voltic will never equip me with a parachute. *Elzzz bro 1-0* *leaves session*

 

I wish rockstar would understand K/D scumbags dont actually play structured adversary modes... Get rid of the stat. GTA is about bank and rank. Hey R* you remember Criminal Ratings? Oh no. Guess I'll pretend I might reach level 8000? Goofballs.

 

Good luck everyone

[-Jing-]

Bruh I just wanna buy the car meet clothes without grinding all those levels please.

[Wesk_]

i also hope that opressor mk2 nerf doesn’t affect pve too much

 

i love using this thing for pve, makes thing go way faster 

 

 

[DrEeveell]

Yeah, I've got 9 Dominators, but I can't buy a Dominator T-Shirt for about 30 more levels of grinding.

Or the livery I want is LSCM lvl 160 something.

Actually, I have been working on the award for doing the CPH with all the different entry vehicles.  It has long not been about $ for me.  Now I am going to have to wait 2 1/2 to set them up.  To me, this is about not being able to play the game the way I want. I personally would have preferred a $ nerf.  It isn't one size fits all my friend.

The only thing it's affecting are the effectiveness of the homing missiles it has, they aren't removing them outright.

 

We all could make do with the Buzzard back in the day, you folks will be fine with your Mk2.

Just go afk in the car meet?

 

Put on any piece of LSCM clothing on your character, get a car and go to the meet.

 

Go to the test track, reverse back into the entrance and now just leave the game right there.

 

That's it, you're afk. Grinding not required at all.

[DrEeveell]

Vehicles will be delivered faster when requesting from the Mechanic.

 

Will they be delivered to less stupid places that aren't 100 yards away on the other side of the six lane divided freeway?

 

 

[Ser_Salty]

Just noticed, they're using a screenshot from the Gang Termination security contract. That's disabled, isn't it? Seems like it's coming back

Why was it disabled in the first place? Bug issues?

i think we will get michael's contract dlc expansion this year, and trevor's next year and that will be the ultimate endgame, last missions for them and then GTA VI will be announced or released or whatever

IIRC there was a bug with one of the lieutenants not spawning. Hope they bring it back, god knows we need more variety in there. Recover Valuables gets real boring, real quick with only two options, Vehicle Recovery has a 1/3 chance of f*cking you and Asset Protection is, well, Asset Protection. I really only like Rescue Mission. Lots of variety, easy to do.

[Gaffa]

People are really thinking "endgame" when GTA+ launched recently; this is only the second update for next-gen consoles (barely); and GTA single player and GTA multi player have been split off as separate entities? 

Okay.

Tbh I get Tequila bottle 90% time whenever I scope so will be no difference for me lol. I have bad luck.

I found the spawn location was always dependant on which way your camera is facing, (I imagine this will still apply) so you can have some say in where it will be, by facing (roughly) the opposite way to where you want the car to appear (camera not character).. Also useful for stopping it spawn on a freeway that's 50ft up in the air or some equally annoying place.

Cayo brainers on suicide watch never quite understood the fascination with that heist, I'd rather grind up my testicles into a fine powder and snort them than do that heist again. Pure torture.

No. It’s just not necessary to touch it that’s all. I don’t want to go and play the original heists or DD heist because I was sick to death of them as well before Cayo. Those heists have been in the game for 6/7 years I don’t want to do them again. Cayo was just great to make money for the solo player. Is it boring to do now? Of course it is. They are hiding behind statements like ‘oh we just want to give you guys a more balanced and varied experience’. What a load of tosh. Every experience in the game is repetitive at this point. It’s just that Cayo was the quickest and least torturous method of all.

Now that you mention it, I do remember that happening in the train yard (might have been the one hiding in the rail car).

 

Probably one of the few occasions where a Rhino Tank wasn't a bad option!

I just recently started grinding Cayo and now they're nerfing how frequently you can play it?

One Cayo per IRL day is still more than enough to buy anything in the game.
