If Rockstar puts these new collectibles and events as "blue dots" I think I'll need to murder every NPC on the beachfront until my eyes bleed puss. 

Funny thing about that when it comes to the Service Rifle. I don't think they'll be keeping these Crime Scenes around as a permanent thing - because on the main menu of the Next-Gen version of GTA V, the Service Rifle is tagged as "Limited". So the ability to get the rifle for free might be limited to just this week, or a little while longer before it's relegated to only being purchasable in Ammu-Nation.

 

It is a fair point though, all these Freeroam Events popping up as Blue Dots it does become a guessing game of; "Is that...? No, that can't spawn there."

 

The biggest offenders are the Desk Key & Metal Detector. Here's hoping R* add some kind of check system for those types of Blue Dot Events, where if a player has collected those one-time items the event will spawn, but those who have the item from it won't get the radar flash or blue dot. Once that's sorted, I would go the mile of having the Blue Dots replaced with icons relative to what the Event is, keep them blue but if it's an Export Car, have it be a blue car. If it's a Smuggler Plane, have it be a blue plane icon, etc...

 

Or maybe make things like Drug Cars & Smuggler Planes more rare, but up the payouts something fierce - this could recreate the lobby-wide rushes of 2013/2014 when someone got a bounty on their head or a Crate Drop was about to happen. Hell, they could even bring back those mad rushes by having long-awaited/long-lost vehicle liveries or clothing as weekly rewards for completing those - because to someone like myself in the upper end of the 9-figures club, I have no reason to engage with them other than if I get in the mindset of every penny being my prisoner.

I do agree with this, with the amount of random events that the game has it's probably a good idea to, for example, start showing them as icons on the map. Perhaps a car blip for the Exotic Exports, a key for the Guard, a pistol for the Crime Scenes, so on and so forth...

[ambi3nt]

Service carbine even has a price tag. While most other "free' guns don't. Tbh it's even better to wait until it goes on sale, cause if you buy it, you will be able to hide it in a locker. There is a slim chance R* will fix it for current owners, but it's way too slim..

Even better if Rockstar gave us the option to toggle on/off things like that on the mini-map. 

 

I'd hide the sleeping guards, drug vehicles, payphone hits, smuggler-skeleton, and smugger-flares for starters! And now that my 'toon found his M16, probably the crime scenes too. 

 

(incidentally, hopefully the next DLC will re-enable the ability to hide missions from known contacts, like Gerald etc. as having a cluttered mini-map messes with my OCD) 

[Spider-Vice]

I don't mind the Payphone Hits as those are cool to do every so often for an easy 80k, but I would definitely hide the Guards and Drug Vehicles.

[Pedinhuh]

Meanwhile I'm sitting here, wondering if one day they will get to FINALLY let us hide those gang attacks that barely anyone gives a f*ck about and are more of a nuisance than anything else...

Any infos on the random Halloween stuff form last year returning? the random killers and the possessed Tornado?

[AUScowboy]

Vigero is pretty much guaranteed this week right? Does anything in the code indicate if the HSW upgrade will be available upon release?

[Jamwes]

I don't understand why the number of blue dots is such a big deal for some people. Is it on the map no matter how far away from it you are? Then it's an Exotic Export and worth $20k. Do you see a red smoke or a crashing plane? Then it's one of the new ones worth $25k. All the other ones can be skipped (if you already have the key, Service Carbine, or metal detector) because they don't pay enough to be worth your time. If you really care then learn the spawn locations or do the arduous task of hitting two buttons to open the map and mouse over the blue dot to see what it is.

Would an option to hide them harm you in any way?

For me it's mostly because it's unclear what each dot is unless you go to the pause menu map. Not to mention it can get kinda cluttered, but that would be a personal thing which is why it could be a choice. If you don't mind them, leave them on, if you mind them, turn it off.

Nope. I'm in favor of hiding most things and would appreciate a way to hide them. I agree that the dots for the collectibles shouldn't appear if you've already done them. Heck, the new ones shouldn't have dots anyway because the smoke or plane should be what's getting your attention.

I get not wanting the clutter and I hide a lot of stuff. I own all of the apartments in the Eclipse Tower just to minimize the number of icons on my map. I guess my "not understanding" post is because it seems that some people are absolutely raging at the blue dots like they are the worst thing ever on here, Reddit, and YouTube. I just don't understand being so upset about something that only appears when you're close to it, unless it's the Exotic Export. It's on your map for such a short period of time. I'm more upset that the Arena War garage is always on the minimap or the countdown timer that happens if you're near the drug car when it's 5 minutes away from timing out.

 

Yes, I'd prefer to hide them, but Rockstar encourages PVP and won't hide them. Everyone always seeing blue dots is a way to encourage PVP because the griefers know that others will come check it out. Might as well learn to live with the miner annoyance.

Which strangely enough was also the era in which developers profited off the sale of strategy guides and such 

Yep.  There will always be people who want the information handed to them rather than figure it out for themselves.  So what you are saying is that things are much better now because we don't have to pay for a guide, but rather, just watch a three minute You Tube video?

I know these games, too, and it was intentional that you figure sh*t out.

 

This M16 thing is incompetence / code having grown so complex that stuff that gets added doesn't work as intended.

 

Probably also labor cost reductions because a modicum of testing effort would have revealed the issue.

I completely agree with you on the M16 thing.  Straight incompetence.  I have completed four of those part runs and still don't have the gun.

Let's say you're making $1 million/hour doing CPH (conservative estimate) then spending 1 minute to pick up $7k is not worth it.

Interesting and some good ideas in there.

 

Yeah I think my man's video over here kinda demonstrates how much stuff is going on in the game now - maybe Rockstar really do need to hold off on adding stuff to freeroam.

Even at $1m every two hours, which is a doable pace with auto shop contracts or the VIP Dre contract, you need to earn at least $8,333 a minute to be worth it.

Tomorrow will be the last day of GTA+ August month,this means that the Declasse Vigero ZX is launching on September 1st. New GTA+ month will give players the Vehicle + Hao Special Works Upgrades for FREE. Regular players will have to pay $1,947,000

The chance is so slim that it may aswell be non existant. I alerted support about a similar issue with the fireworks launcher about half a decade ago, I did so again with the release of the Navy Revolver.

This time I didnt even bother.

My fireworkslauncher (on both characters) got fixed by a modder, my Navy Revolver commited Sepuku after eating a Peyote and my Service Carbine will yet again be fixed by a modder the day it becomes buyable.

I wouldn't say that, it's more just a bit of polish needed so the variety of events don't devolve into white noise to the point people have no interest in playing - as well as mixing up the rate they occur/rewards to be something more than 10k - 25k, maybe throw in a vehicle livery or unique clothing item as a weekly reward?

 

Let's be clear, the Freeroam Events that are in the game now would've been welcomed with open arms to go alongside the Armoured Trucks & Crate Drops - I don't hate them, it's just there's just not much they offer someone whose been playing the game since 2013 despite how fitting they are for a product like Grand Theft Auto ONLINE.
