But in seriousness, I'm more excited about the changes to free roam than the heists, since free roam's potential is sorely wasted on being a place to buy ammo and troll white/red dots.

Duke while I was in fact sad to hear of your recent problems with thieving dickbags, I have to admit - because I'm terrible - I did think "if only you'd waited for the PC version like you SAID YOU WOULD"

also my XBL expired two days ago. Great timing, Rockstar! Everyone post cool heist videos so I can give you guys viewcounts instead of Youtube shitlords, because I'm not re-upping. 526 days late. Talk about project management :mad:

I want a Psycho Slayer mode. That was a simple mod for Operation Flashpoint that was one Psycho VS a team of Slayers, the Psycho looked like an ordinary citizen NPC and it was up to that one to move and behave as an ordinary citizen NPC, but while also comitting murders and taking out the Slayers one by one. Slayers were alerted to incidents and murders and it was a thrill, to win as the Psycho was not uncommon.

(I forget what kept Slayers from just gunning down every civilian they saw but..)

Just having a hardcore free mode where nobody has name indicators or shows up on the minimap would add so much to the game. Let people see photos of other players if they want to hunt them down, but no more of this constant radar and huge KILL THIS GUY indicators over people's heads in a game where free roam is basically just deathmatch

The map is too big for that to work. You would go extended periods without ever seeing anyone.

They could make radar localized so you have to be within a mile or so of someone for them to show up on the map. It would be difficult to randomly find someone but you could pay Lester to locate them for 1min or something.

This functionality was in GTA4, it wasn't very fun, however I love the idea, it is just the application doesn't play out that well.

It sounds like you want Watch Dogs' PVP in GTA Online, and that's a good thing because Watch Dogs' PVP is probably the best thing about that game. I have no idea how you'd balance it for GTA Online though, as the city in Watch Dogs was designed around parkour and tailored to it with all kinds of nooks, crannies, alleys, rooftops, and other little hideaways to make it harder to find people.

Maybe have it based off the player's cell phone. If a player's phone is on, their position gets localized to the nearest virtual cell tower (maybe a couple blocks radius in the game?). That way players could hide to some extent but still have to hunt for each other. But start shooting/causing mayhem and their location gets more detailed as they get more stars. If a player has no stars and has their phone off then they'd be invisible in the minimap. Then remove passive mode, as it would have no use any more.

This would be great because police shootouts would be a giant "poo poo going down" beacon that gets crazier as more players gravitate towards it. It might even be...fun?

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
I think if everyone had radar off you'd still run into fuckers all the time downtown. Go out to Blaine county and you'd probably have to try to spot someone else, but it's probably not too hard to notice someone since none of us are acting like NPCs unlike people playing W_D pvp.

I really love how this happens already, like I'm not constantly paying attention to the radar sometimes and suddenly I realize there's a LOT of cops doing poo poo like a block or two over. Also anytime you're driving around and you hear far off explosions, just random things that remind you of the inherent chaos factor the game possesses.

Oh we're posting our GTA:O wishes? In no particular order:

1. A better way to find custom races and other player-made missions in game, instead of having to go through the R* Social Club.
2. A functional casino.
3. A motorcycle stunt course in the stadium ala GTA Vice City. If not that, do something with the stadium so it's more than just an exterior.
4. The ability to turn off mission icons from displaying on the game map. The map is too crowded already.
5. Helipads on the roof of expensive highrise apartments.
6. The ability to race for pink slips.
7. A countdown timer for missions once the penultimate objective is complete, so that players can't artificially extend the time. Or get rid of time-based performance.
8. The ability to have your mechanic move cars between garages with the arrange garage function, instead of just rearranging cars within a garage.
9. No passive mode when in a high priority vehicle. It's pointless to chase anyone in one.

4a. Stop Martin, Lester, etc. from calling or be able to turn off in the settings menu

Another set of ideas:

1. Players drop money like NPCs when they die. Not necessarily all of it, maybe just a percentage.
2. No more withdrawing or depositing cash from a cell phone, you have to go to an ATM. Nobody uses ATMs right now. How do you stuff cash into a cell phone, anyways?
3. Make it possible to rob banks in freemode somehow, so not even cash in banks is 100% safe. It would need to be difficult enough to require 4 or 5 people though.

1. Have Lifeinvader mirror R* Social Club content in-game.
2. Do something with the BAWSAQ stock market. Maybe have mission payouts partially linked to it, e.g. if a lot of people do the mission where you blow up a bunch of garbage trucks, then the waste company's stock goes down. If fewer people do that mission, then the company's stock would recover, making it more profitable to do that mission again.
3. Make players pay taxes on cars and properties. If you want 3 apartments and 30 cars you better be able to afford the taxes on them.

Well there was that apartment customization rumor from a couple weeks ago. It would make sense to add that now, because there'll be a reason for other players to show up at your apartment for heist planning. It's sort of pointless to bling out your apartment if you're the only one who ever sees it.
