Whats the deal with that new radio station that was posted a couple of pages back?

It's a new radio station. The DJ of said station confirmed the presence of such just moments before update goes live. People say it's specifically made for cruising, having no theme in general for the music.

According to Broughy, the Elegy is no longer the fastest sports car. The Pariah is fast enough around the track to “break sports class”.

He’s kinda been ranting for the last 15 minutes because of this

Ahh, I just asked because the guy who posted it hinted towards a custom station. Didn't think it would have been though.

I fear that may get a bit abused by the hackers with trillions of dollars.

Not really. 48 minute cooldown after firing.

If there's a will, there's a way. Hackers always find exploits or create tools to bypass cooldowns.

I want that Yosemite real bad!

If you own a Cargobob or Titan, you can now open the rear bay doors.

 

[Nuschel01]

Positively surprised by this update so far, the missions of the new heist I played so far worked quite good after randoms got their **** together and didn‘t leave on the way to the vehicles drop-off after finishing all the missions objectives (sorry for wasting your time @driftinziggy)
However I don‘t see a point in adding even more (unrealistic) vehicles with guns or rockets attached but I guess it‘s the easiest way to make players believe 4 millions are well spent money on a car that can hover, fly and shoot missiles. Personally I‘d rather see the game get back to a less pvp-war kind of thing.

I’m guessing you still can’t put anything in them. Would make the export missions even easier, lol.

You could put stuff in the Titan. Just don’t expect to take it anywhere unharmed.

I'm itching to get onto playing these tonight. I'm gonna need a lot of money to buy the stuff I want, I'm only on 2.4m!

I'll need all the help I can get

 

[m8h3r]

Do you need the new office/bunkery thingy to do the new heist? Getting conflicting information online.

Yeah, you need to buy the new underground facility. That comes with the new heist room super computer.

What's the cheapest one?

 

[STI9]

Broughy got banned on all platforms. Not sure why he thinks it's R* trying to censor him

Apparently he had 10M in one video the 5B in another

 

[Nuschel01]

1.3ish million + 65k for the first acts setup

He violated the ToS, but I can't blame him to be honest. He does more testing than anyone else and has a level of quality to uphold for his community. If Broughy bought shark cards to afford all of the new content in every single update, he would have spent thousands of dollars which isn't practical. In the end, what he did was wrong, but I would do it too if given the opportunity.

 

[Sage Ages]

Paleto Bay. Don't.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Rule of thumb in these properties is to not buy the most expensive or the cheapest.

Former for being obvious, latter for scrubs taking refuge around there.

 

[m8h3r]

Paleto Bay. Don't.

So I'll be my own next door neighbour? (Bunker)

I'm so happy!

Not sure why people think it's NOT R* trying to censor him, considering there's plenty of other GTA Youtubers out there with modded money that aren't getting banned. I decided to check and as it happens MrBossFTW is doing a showcase stream right now with around $1.4 billion very visibly in the bank, so either he's spent nearly $25000 on shark cards (175 whale shark cards at $139 each) or he's in possession of just as much if not more modded money compared to Broughy. It doesn't exactly take a genius to see the reason behind the double standard here.

 

[rallymorten]

Considering he apparently made R* aware of the.. "Ill-Gotten Gains" (that pun never grows old) and was just waiting for them to pull their finger out of their you-know-where, it's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to ban him - entirely. From every single platform. And probably from any T2 game ever.

Then again, I too have a feeling this isn't actually related to the money issue. As mentioned above, there are.. certain players out there, with.. "friends with benefits", shall we say, who have yet to see any heat whatsoever.

It all seems a bit too deliberate, considering Broughy's the only one not playing R* ball - in more than one figure of speech. It is looking a bit like censorship, which, considering this is December of 2017, I can't say I'm surprised to see from Greedstar and Take-Everything.

It'll be interesting to see what - if anything - they've got to say about this. This could evolve into something just as fantastic as Lootboxfront II.

Thought so. Might put a cheaper export in it to see how it goes; doing a “fire sale” so I can move warehouses, so it wouldn’t be a biggie to lose one.

I always buy based on what I want or what works best with my other properties.

 

[Marcus Garvey]

This property I will purchase the location that I find most enjoyable to ride out to and covers an area of the map I desire another 'safe house.' Initially, the location appears to only impact your personal convenience outside the heists. Since I will probably go through the heists once, and forever after relegate the lair to overflow storage and another place to idle my character; I'm not going to allow the needs of the heist to influence my decision greatly.
Still haven't purchased anything yet, as I faded out in @leeislee 's lair last night and only played an hour or so when I woke up in the middle of the night.

How does a game ban prevent him from sharing his opinion about the game?

 

[leeislee]

The most expensive facility is well placed near the city but in a hurry or being chased by try-hards the dirt roads to and from the reservoir will slow you down. I avoided that one.

I really wanted to buy something close enough and with easy access. So, after visiting all the facility locations I decided on the one near Fort Zancudo. It's near to my hangar so I'm used to going that way. The bonus is that it was pretty cheap to buy but with all the upgrades I think it came to around 4 million.

The only.problem I've noticed with all of the facility locations is that people are hanging around preventing people doing their thing. A couple of times yesterday we had to wade through other crews camping around the entrance causing trouble. So do some research, visit them and see what works for you.

I said it before and I'll say it again, make sure you buy the scuba gear as it's just great fun getting away from it all and visiting the plane wrecks in the briny deep.

 

[Marcus Garvey]

The main issue I take with the lair locations is the same opposition I had to the implementation of the bunkers. They destroyed some of my most beloved wilderness with large ugly concrete and metal plates. This time one was placed directly upon a frequented hiking trail, and another displaced one of my favourite campsite hangouts just ashore a popular yacht mooring. No more taking a nice boat ride in to hang and enjoy some vice with my NPC camping friends.
