Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V12 - GTA Online: We Have a Hacking Problem - Games

[QUOTE=Nomad;52608692]I can't wait for griefers to abuse the carpet bombing plane.[/QUOTE] I can't wait to try and convince a small group of players to fly in formation and carpet bomb after the person infront of them finishes, to do this large single long line of carpet bombing.

Hey look at all these things I'll never afford

I know it's a long shot, but I hope they let us customize already existing attack aircraft. Like the Savage. Especially the Savage.

The only reason I was able to afford Gunrunning is because one of our fellow Facepunchers(you know who you are) helped me and my friend with some [I]investment[/I] and we had a lot of fun in public sessions in the process.

[QUOTE=Nomad;52608692]I can't wait for griefers to abuse the carpet bombing plane.[/QUOTE] I honestly doubt that bomber will even be capable of griefing. As soon as people see it coming, they'll just blow it up with a homing launcher.

I'm surprised this new update isn't tied to bunkers and gunrunning. There are a few blue doors in the bunker that usually signify a utility you didn't buy with it (if you don't buy the shooting range, the area where it would be is a blue door similar to the one on your left as you enter the bunker). I wonder if every hangar will just be at LSIA and it'll be a huge clusterfuck trying to fly out with everybody else coming and going, or if they will be dotted about the place next or close to air strips (since they are adding stuff to the map now). In terms of what it means for freemode, I can see it being more of the same, big, expensive hangar that you need to sink millions into just to properly buy and customise vehicles, missions that go along with it that require you fucking with Merryweather and the military, and one vehicle that pretty much renders any and all competent vehicles in the same category utterly irrelevant, conspicuously being the most expensive the update has to offer. And of course, the slew of half-baked adversary modes with maybe the odd one that is actually pretty good, but will never again see the light of day once its 2x$+RP trial has expired. But hey, I mean other than that, it's content, right?

Wouldn't put it past them to add the hangars to the bunkers and just make another point of entry. Come to think about it, there isn't really many closed bunkers in the game, is there?

I'm just pulling things out of my ass, but what if they include a reskin of I/E as well? I could even see it making sense logically. "Okay, so. This buyer wants one of the aircraft we use for deliveries, but that ain't gonna work. What you have to do, is steal the plane from The [GANG NAME REDACTED], bring it here, and tune it to their specifications. Once that's done, just smooth coasting unless someone else wants the plane more than they do." Might not actually happen since it gives sellers a chance to actually defend themselves from OPpressors, but it'd be pretty damn neat IMO if they did.

Out of all the new content in that trailer, I really want that skylift (If R* adds the magnet feature, but I doubt that they will)

This is probably a really bad idea, but I've been fast-tracking my research as much as possible without dipping below 1.5 million and got 3 liveries in a row. Why has God forsaken me?

Well, this just happened to me: [t]https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/851598582922413010/88768B5A284E36B9326EC54E4CE47BBF398C51CD/[/t] Here's the funny thing: I purposely avoided things like cash dropping and actually got all my shit through legit means. There was absolutely no fucking reason for them to remove most of my cash. I guess I should be happy that I still have a little under eight million, but it's still fucking stupid.

[QUOTE=JerryAnderson;52608966]So I've reached Purgatory, and by Purgatory I mean researching a livery. Why exactly do we need to wait like 3 IRL hours or at least 5 ingame days to figure out how to put camo on an assault rifle? Something like the AA trailer or APC I can maybe understand having to wait that long, since they don't have the blueprints and they have to reverse engineer stuff, but a camo pattern on a gun? Let alone one that isn't even camo, but just a bunch of words hand-written on it? How the hell does that take 5 days?[/QUOTE] so you spend money by fast tracking, but you technically don't have to so it's basically a choice and aren't rockstar nice for giving you a choice also the content is free it is illegal to complain ...I have a minor chip on my shoulder

Think it's worth it sending a support ticket?

[QUOTE=ulvemann43;52611332] Me too, what the fuck? Think it's worth it sending a support ticket?[/QUOTE] I sent one a few hours ago and I'm currently waiting on a reply. I'd personally recommend sending a ticket as well, but I really wouldn't expect any good results. [editline]d[/editline] Got a reply: [quote]Hello Gatekeeper828, Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support. Your shared bank account in GTA Online was adjusted to remove illegitimately gained in-game money. For more information please see [url]https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/115008697067[/url]. Best Regards, Shayne A. Rockstar Support[/quote] As I expected. This also marked my ticket as solved and the link they provide to review the status of it leads to an error.

So basically they're just purging any large sums of cash to insure people can't buy the stuff in this update right away.

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;52611425]So basically they're just purging any large sums of cash to insure people can't buy the stuff in this update right away.[/QUOTE] I'm thinking that this is yet another anti-cheat fuck up as there are other reports of people getting legit money removed while some people with cheated money still have their stuff.

What exactly was it you wrote in your ticket? I specifically mentioned in mine that i was farming the double cash event, to move away from any possibility of them missunderstanding me

[QUOTE=ulvemann43;52611478]What exactly was it you wrote in your ticket? I specifically mentioned in mine that i was farming the double cash event, to move away from any possibility of them missunderstanding me[/QUOTE] I just mentioned that I had grinded a lot to get the money and that I avoided cheaters/exploits. I managed to open the ticket again by sending an email so hopefully it isn't dismissed with a generic reply again.

Rockstar support is notoriously bad, you'll have to push a little to get any semblance of a proper response...seeing quite a few people getting hit with this, so with some luck there'll be a mass revert since it seems to be an error.

If you make a really basic ticket filled with keywords you're just gonna get picked up by a robot, if you make a ticket saying something like "Hi, I'm having a problem with my in-game balance" (or something to that extent, keep it vague and don't actually describe the issue) a human is more likely to pick it up which guarantees you a proper response. Can't really blame R* for having an automated system when thousands of people spam endless amounts of mundane and pointless tickets night and day

They took away my legit like 1 mill in a sweep a while ago

I hope the Hunter isn't just a copy of the Savage. I've been dying to see them make the Hunter function almost like the attack helicopter it's based on so it sets itself apart from just being another helicopter with explosive rounds. It would be cool if your copilot/gunner was able to fire the chaingun in a gun camera style like the Valkyrie main cannon, and when you don't have another player, the pilot could still manual fire the chaingun whenever they're not moving. Wouldn't even mind if the rounds weren't explosive, just as long as we can aim the gun manually. I'm so tired of static helicopter guns and homing missiles, as a pilot, I want to actually actually aim my guns and hit stuff.

Why can't we lock on to anything that's not directly in front of us?

Everything will get shot down instantly with the explosive sniper though :disappoint:

I don't want to jinx it, and if I'm right please don't lynch me, but what if the planes actually have an insurance cost on them? It'd be the perfect ploy to get people with their Hydras to pony up some money so they can get a smaller, equally deadly griefing tool that costs people money to defend themselves against.

Most griefers have modded accounts anyway, so money isn't an issue for them.

I find it quite hilarious when i hear all these people who got their money deducted, yet i still have the 200 million i got from a giver group

whale shark cards are 10% off in anticipation of Smuggler's Run [video=youtube;sI-pMpkoekI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI-pMpkoekI[/video]

oh, it removed like 130 million from my character that's nowhere near how much i had so i still have hundreds of millions left for the update :V
