    Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

    This was posted last night by R* as a comment to their most recent title update newswire:
    Hi everyone,
    Just to clarify for those who were asking about the adjustment made to mission replay payouts, please remember that we are continuing to regularly balance the dynamic in-game economy and whenever we discover that there are unintended loopholes that some players are exploiting to grind cash or RP, you can expect that we will be adjusting or closing them. By the same token, there are also cases where we’re balancing the economy in the opposite direction such as recently reduced penalties for dying. All of this is done to keep things as fair and as fun as possible - please remember that we are looking at not only player data in our ongoing tuning process decision-making but also at your direct input, so if you have any feedback about the in-game economy or any other aspects of the game, please direct it to [email protected] as we are actively looking at all player feedback sent to that address. We thank you for your understanding and patience and please stay tuned this week for more information including timing of the first GTA$ Stimulus Package deposit and the forthcoming new content such as the Beach Bum Pack, Content Creator and Heists.
    I guess no "stimulus" this week or early next week? The idea of a stimulus didn't really do much for me anyway, but I was hoping heists and the online market would be available by the end of the month.

      I wouldve liked that money to purchase some vehicles

        We all survived, but my car unfortunately didn't.

        Yes Hustlin, this is what you missed on our way to the base mission.
        Thats awesome lol

          Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

          I wanted to play a few Gang Fights last night as I'm getting annoyed by everyone calling me and asking why I haven't taken care of the gang problem in the city.

          So being in a room full of randoms, I tried to find one that was as far away from anyone as possible. I found one by the docks. Every player listed was by Vinewood, so I figured I was ok. I also found a good spot so that I would not be able to get bombarded if a player does happen to try to hijack the attack. I'm down to the last 2 gangbangers, when I noticed I'm getting hit off to my side. I look on the map, nothing. I look to my right, and there's 2 randoms trying to kill me. Their aim was horrible as they emptied an entire clip and I was still alive. I tried but for some reason I couldn't kill them, and eventually they blasted me. As I respawned, I noticed they tried to finish the Gang Fight. They were searching for the last guy so I run over, call Lester to make me disappear, and then kill both of them with shots to the face. I said F the Gang Fight and look around for their vehicle.

          I find one of their Nagasaki Carbon bikes. I hop on and look to keep it for myself when I realized I probably can't since it's the players car. I drive off and began to wonder how much punishment this bike can take. After about getting a good mile away from the 2 randoms. I bring the bike to a screeching halt. "Screw this, these guys are going to pay"

          I jump off the bike and take out the sniper. They're still trying to finish off the gang attack. I kill one that's hiding in cover. The other one realizes what I'm doing and runs off scared. He tries to jack a car, but as he's driving I snipe him in the back of the head (greatest feeling ever!)

          I laugh it off and then realized his homie just spawned near me and was lighting the bike up with bullets. I try to book it when I realized both my tires were blown. I kill off 2 cops, steal their car and book it before they could kill me. I turn the corner and they're now in the car chasing after me. I pull the hand brake, make a quick 180, throw a sticky bomb and then detonate it. Pieces of bodies and vehicles come flying at me. "Shug killed Idiot A and Idiot B"

          Then I get a bad sport warning for destroying their personal vehicle. Whoops!

            Right, I did see some of those as well, but for the first maybe 45 minutes to an hour, it sent it to 3 people, and it just said "invited", and sat there. I usually do see the ones that say busy as well.

            Not a big deal - some nights more are on than others. I was just saying it seems there's been a pretty good drop off in the number that have been on in the past week compared to before.

                Thank you to everyone for joining in GTA Online throughout this first month of its release, for all of your awesome Online Snapmatic pics and Crew videos that we’ve spotted, for your patience and understanding as we’ve been working through the initial teething issues of launching an online experience like this, and for your excellent feedback to the official [email protected] email address. Please keep it coming as it is really helping us plan for the future of the game. Here’s a quick update for all Grand Theft Auto Online players worldwide on what’s in store in the immediate future.

                THE GTA$ STIMULUS PACKAGE
                We know many of you are anxiously waiting for us to show you the GTA$ Stimulus Package money we announced a couple weeks back. As mentioned in that post, we of course want to ensure that game progress loss issues are sufficiently sorted before distributing the GTA$ to everyone. We have a few more tweaks and fixes to make in a new title update that will hit sometime next week and then we will distribute the cash.

                THE BEACH BUM PACK
                Coming in early November will be the first add-on content update, the Beach Bum Pack which will bring all-new beach themed vehicles and new weaponry that you’ll be able to use in both GTA Online and Story Mode. Plus new customization options for your GTA Online character including new tats, hairstyles and more. We’ll also be adding lots of brand new action-packed Jobs to play with Gang Attacks, Survivals, Last Team Standings, Parachutes, Deathmatches and Races that will have you bloodying up the waters and coastlines of the finest beach resorts across Los Santos and Blaine County.

                THE CONTENT CREATOR
                We are also working to bring you the debut of the first part of the GTA Online Content Creator this fall – giving players the ability to craft, publish, rate and play custom-made Deathmatch and Race Jobs. We’ll be keeping our eye open for exceptional ones that we’ll be stamping as ‘Rockstar Verified’ and will be featuring them here at the Newswire and as part of forthcoming GTA Online Social Club Events. Both the Content Creator and the Beach Bum Pack are free.

                SOCIAL CLUB EVENT WEEKENDS
                Starting in November will be the first Grand Theft Auto Online Social Club Event weekends which will bring special rewards and bonuses ranging from limited-edition in-game Event Crate Drops to in-game discount specials and even a special new GTA Online live-stream show hosted by Rockstar at the Social Club Events page and Rockstar Games Twitch page – plus prize pack giveaways of hard to find GTAV gear and more.

                Stay tuned as we hope to have more information with more details and specific timings on these content updates as well as on GTA Online Heists and the new GTA Online Capture the Flag mode to share with you next week. We will also have initial details on more additional content coming for both Story Mode and GTA Online in the next few weeks.
                Still disappointed about the lack of info on heists and this "carrot on stick" stimulus they keep talking about.

                    All great news, looking forward to running all the new content with the crew.

                    Stimulus package will get here when it gets here, I'm not too worried about it. Most of us that play together nearly every night have plenty of dough.

                      Oh, I don't doubt it. I very much assumed the WS had an effect on it for sure.

                      Usually I enjoy watching the baseball postseason regardless of who's in it, but for some reason this year (and maybe it's because it was so unexpected for them to get there), once the Indians lost I just lost all my interest. Usually doesn't happen (being a Cleveland sports fan, I of course am used to my teams losing when they do make it. ), but just lost the steam this year.

                      On topic: Seems the racing is becoming more and more popular with the OS crew? I've enjoyed the races I've done, particularly the motorcycle races. Haven't been able to race with the crew yet, but look forward to it.

                        Why is there always that one guy who doesn't vote or have the decency to press no vote after a race. Always forcing the rest of the group to sit there for an extra 30 seconds because of this. So annoying.

                        Then the ******* proceeds to wait until the final 5 seconds to vote on the next race or going back to freeroam.

                              So Heists aren't in "the immediate future" now? Ugh....

                              I haven't played in a few days for a couple of reasons. One, I'm waiting for the stimulus like everyone else. Two, regarding the Heists I don't want to be super-ridiculously overpowered for them when they DO drop. Considering how early you get the call from Lester about buying a higher-end property, it seems like they're meant to start becoming available around level 25 or so.

                                Around the 1:20 mark I totally wiped someone out. Sorry about that.
                                Hey look I'm famous lol, that was the race where Tim just beat me out for first at the end.

                                To bad you don't have footage of the GTA race we did where dayman dropped a grenade just as the race started which blew me up. Everyone was laughing and I was cracking up too.

                                Especially when I ended up finishing in first place in that race.
