GTA Online Thread (Useful Links in OP)

Currently I'm sitting at $12.5 million. I'm for sure buying the Pounder Custom and Speedo Custom right away.

 

[Sage Ages]

The update is supposedly 5.34 gigs. If I'm not missing anything, this is the largest update so far.

Edit: Oh no....

oh yeah there's like a A10 Warthog too

 

[rallymorten]

Well, they did say something about "two updates in one". It seems they were right.

Also A-10. That came out of literally nowhere.

Also also adding the Stafford to the shopping list.

Also also also, I'd hate to say "I told you so, but you were all to stuck in a 2016-time-warp to listen to logic", but.. actually no, I wouldn't hate to say that, I was right and you all were wrong. I am now the God of the GTA section.

Coquette Classic, Futo, Jester Classic, Mamba, Penumbra, Prairie, and Ruiner are all getting 10 liveries!

 

[STI9]

We now get drone strikes

 

[STI9]

 

[Sage Ages]

From what I understand, the Mk II is more of an aircraft. Hopefully that means it isn't a personal vehicle.


They're just gonna Benny it with the Terrorbyte aren't they?

Apparently it is considered a motorcycle and can be stored in an MC

 

[Sage Ages]

There seems to be a suspiciously low amount of vehicles for this update. I wonder if Rockstar figured out a different way to do dripfeeds.

The drone stuff is super interesting but the A10 is the big thing for me. People have been asking for it a while now, surprised Rockstar threw em a bone with it.

I’m betting a drip feed will start shortly after this to last to RDR2.

 

[rallymorten]

..I didn't think it was possible for public sessions to become even more of a 🤬 than they already were when they introduced the Orbital Cannon..

..but it seems R* really have outdone themselves. So well done on that one.

Not that I'm really affected, seeing as I've been soloing for as long as I can remember, but this is taking 🤬 to a whole new level.


Also let's remember for a second that there's a lot more to this one than just vehicles. That all takes up file size as well.

Edit: Aaaaand it's out for PS4. 4.3 gigs.

So how can you tell that public lobbies are 🤬?

Why don’t you do us all a favor, and quit your crying and whining and long nonsensical posts and move to another thread where no one likes you?
Like I posted yesterday. For the last 2-3 weeks, I’ve been in full public lobbies without my usual group of suspects (even though that won’t be the case today), and I haven’t seen anything close to what you whining idiots claim to experience.
Maybe it’s because of what you do in your lobbies that people wants to kill you ingame? Which I would totally understand BTW.

If this game is such a hellhole and R* is such a stupid developer, why don’t you go play Tetris or something like that? Except for the fact that Tetris requires some sort of thinking and intelligence.

 

[Crumpet]

Can't wait to smack into the side of every building in Los Santos on this thing and fall to my death.

 

[STI9]

Missions can't be played in solo public lobbies apparently

 

[Flash_Sweden]

Awesome and completely understandable. Maybe that’ll lure more moving targets to the lobbies

 

[p78]

We then went on with the heist, finishing a nanosecond too slow to get the elitechallenge. But even without that, I made a nice million and some change. Awesome #2!

Should you need help with the elite, i get it every time, by a fluke my secondary characters facility is in paleto bay.
Which makes it supereasy.

Spoiler: not-Live reactions to unreleased vehicles

Blimp 3 - Atleast we're finally getting a blimp Online without the assistance of unruly players
Freecrawler - Four-door offroad thingy, not my niche but I can appreciate it existing.
Menacer - ...I mean, if you could only drive car-like vehicles the name would fit. Also I can confirm FoxySnaps screwed up the pictures
Oppressor 2 - We're 🤬 into oblivion.
Scramjet - For some reason I'm not sure why I didn't expect this, but I should have.
Stafford - Probably the best thing to bank your money for as a car person, seeing as the JC and the Swinger are already out, go buy the Swinger, I have, I've instantly remembered GT5's premium dealer music. Though the enginesound's a letdown, the driving's an experience.

Strikeforce - Eh, us Russians got the Cheburek, only fair that the Americans get the A-10.
Terrorbyte - Alright, honestly, out of anything its name could have identified it as, who expected this?!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go see if the Jester Classic thread will burn within the coming hours.

 

[McLaren]

Lots of dripfeed apparently.

Missions can't be played in solo public lobbies apparently

Of course not. I've only done one so far, but based on it, might want a good crew ready.

Dropping fliers in 8 spots in an unarmed buzzard by yourself will be easy pickings, lol.

Edit* Club missions are just to promote the business it seems, very small payouts so far. Looks like everything else is mainly an opportunity to sell all your other businesses at once for max money. If so, will be interesting to see how much one can achieve by themselves on a sale, or if Rockstar has truly made it high risk, high reward; you can run it solo, but 1 RPG can take out everything you've built.

I wonder as well, if the other DJs will be added over the coming weeks? Haven't seen any way to progress towards the others. Once you get the staff, equipment, and Solomun, it gets straight to business.

Woah, easy there! No need for the aggression. Or assuming. Or general denigrating.

May I suggest you familiarise yourself with a little construct on GTP called the "Ignore" function? It's genius. A few clicks and you'll never ever see a post from someone again.

Considering you managed to take a statement on the general state of GTA Online as a personal attack and have previously thrown a fit at me for giving a few tips to anyone looking to make money, I think you'll find it particularly useful.

 

[CSMDuty11]

Since GTAForums is taking too long to post pictures, lemme answer the three most important questions here about the Jester Classic quickly.

Spoiler

Yes.

Yes. Not pictured: more sensible stock exhausts

No.
And since I forgot the first time around, yes it's Sports.

Also tried to take a Futo off the street to see if it had any liveries, but the results weren't too fruitful, so I'm guessing dripfeed.

 

[rallymorten]

..for anyone who's yet to put me on their ignore list - and totally not tree'd - time for some rare positivity. Yes, I'm capable of that at times.

I'm actually impressed with how they managed to turn the Jester Classic around. The exhausts are the optional extras they always should've been, the lights are not just stickers anymore, the trunk light is actually attached to the trunk and the headlights actually have glass covering both lights. And that's before we get into the added customisation it's got going for it, which, ironically, rivals - if not beats - what NFS 2015 had for its Supra.

An "ugly duckling" situation it is. I might just get an extra one in Xero livery for the racecar garage that's.. basically in need of moving to an Office Garage for them to all remain in one place.

 

[STI9]

The Menacer

 

[McLaren]

Yep, confirmed on Twitter.
July 31st - Tale of Us
August 7th - Dixon
August 14th - The Black Madonna

Los Santos Underground Radio debuts next week. Damn Rockstar; dripfeeding the hell out of this update.


Edit* Lots of rage going on right now on GTAF. I'm sure Reddit's going to be even worse throughout the day.

 

[Flash_Sweden]

Should you need help with the elite, i get it every time, by a fluke my secondary characters facility is in paleto bay.

Thanks, but I’ve already done that. I’m never expecting to get the elite-challenges with randoms anyway. But we were litterely just 2 seconds away from getting it, which would’ve earned me 1,1M instead of 1,0M. But I’m not crying about it

I’ve set up my club, and done a promotion mission. Not even close of being an issue with randoms. I’ll get back on it tonight to restart my cokefactory. Should make the cost of the club a non issue before the weekend

 

[Crumpet]

The Swinger must be the first car I have driven in this game that feels as though the tyres have air in them, its so bouncy.

 

[McLaren]

From a user on GTAF.

So far the pros are:

+ Club Generates it's own income and deposits it into avwall safe. Max popularity = $10K Daily Income. The Wall safe holds $70K, or a max of 7 Days income. That means my Club covers some or all of my daily expenses depending on if I'm a CEO/MCP or not
+ Club Manegment Missions increase popularity and can be played in Private Sessions
+ Nightclub Warehouse supplements your businesses. It'll produce it's own stock while the other businesses opperate
+ Collecting specific sets of goods will supposedly sell for far more than the default prices
+ Warehouse comes with a Speedo Custom Van that's used for sells. It can be upgraded with: Armor plates, proximity mines, mounted machine guns, remote .50 call, remote minigun. (I'm assuming the Mule and Pounder are also used as delivery vehicles with more cargo once purchased)
+ Can Sell everything at once that's been stored in the warehouse. So Crates, Gunrunning and Biker Businesses all sold in one go
+Some Club Awards give $. Solomon's Silver Award gives $10K

Oh, and the exterior of the club changes once purchased and set up. The foreclosure signsvare gone, a line/bouncer appear in front of your door, and posters advertising your current resident DJ are displayed.

Didn't expect that; judging by the screens online shown, Rockstar encourages destroying others promoting in return for money and increasing your own club's popularity.

 

[pokemonfan58]

So GTA Online is getting a Mach 5 speed racer look a like huh?

Honestly, now that I think about it, this might actually be a fun car to use for stunt races since speed racer has been known to feature some ridiculous tracks especially in the movie.

 

[Dan]

I called the Mach Five several months ago. I wonder how expensive it will be, and what special abilities Rockstar have included.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I'm going to wait for reviews on how well the nightclubs fare in both money making and user friendliness.

And expect me to do some SPD sneaks on the dripfeed vehicles to see what you're getting out of it.

If people treat the nightclubs as a replacement for MC businesses then it pays awfully. Fully upgraded I think it generates around 50k an hour. However as an addition to everything else it is quite nice.

The fact that supplies generate automatically (and at no cost) it is a good idea to focus on resupplying the MC’s and CEO’s and then offload the nightclub product at the end of the day or at least when it comes time to selling all of the MC business and CEO cargo all at once.

 

[rallymorten]

Gut feeling says the Nightclub isn't what you want if you're looking for one business to make money. $10,000 per day plus whatever scraps your technicians manage to get a hold of really isn't a whole lot.

Granted, there's a fair bit of more technicians = more money to it, but.. considering I've sold 1 Bunker @ $135,000 profit in the same period as my Nightclub + 3 technicians on Cargo, Sporting Goods and South American Imports have managed to produce ~$115,000..

The difference in terms of gains to the Bunker is negligible.
