Also, you need to attend driving school to earn a license. Without one your garage becomes inaccessible, and your vehicles will become ineligible for insurance coverage from Mors.
And after each time you call Mors to replace your vehicle , your premium goes up.

They had a driving school in GTA San Andreas, why not have one in GTAO? There's already a flight school.

Anyother idea: For racing playlists it would be nice if there were different methods of organizing the starting grid other than randomly. Either organize it by the last race's results, or by total points earned so far in the playlist. Or do reverse sorting so the losers get a little help.

While I don't do any of that other stuff like hpvs or crate drops, I would really hate for them to nerf passive mode.

Just make those thongs kick you out of it and leave passive mode the way it is.

Really I would be okay if passive players showed properly as passive all the time, couldn't interact with objectives, and the 10 second window of turning off passive was clearly displayed on the mini map when it happened and the player could be shot through the full 10 seconds but cannot open the weapon wheel until the end.

You can't really make it so they are automatically dropped out of passive when getting an objective because then passive players could still automatically get crates for free since they would be intangible until the moment they got what they wanted.

EDIT: Another change I want to see is for them to stop loving making other players dots vanish off the map when I am in a one on one deathmatch with someone. I get killed by idiots that I can't physically see coming for no good reason and it's annoying. I'm happy to kill all of them, just show me their dots.

Wait, so passive players would get killed while not being able to defend themselves for the 10 seconds it takes to turn it off? That's worse than how it works now.

I would just make it so that being passive meant you couldn't do poo poo other than mod your car and character, or shop at stores. Passive mode is basically "I don't want to get hosed with while I try to do normal poo poo" mode, and it should reflect that. Passive mode should pretty much make you unable to do anything that doesn't involve a menu.

A year and a half into GTA:O and the passive system still doesn't work, and never has. The passive player showing a solid dot is one of the most puzzling problems to me - why make it so the dot shows a different style at all if you don't care to fix it?

Yes, exactly. It needs to be worse than it is now because a passive player just follows you until you are in an active conflict with someone else then turns of passive and blasts you. Passive mode can be used straight offensively this way and it is.

When shutting off passive mode just find a little quiet space and shut it off, that's not exactly a burden.

I'd probably recommend using the independent cameras and setting maybe the helicopters to 3rd person, but if you're going to be really gun-ho about this and not break said vow, then be prepared to make use of the cinematic camera button more than ever before just to try and figure out wtf your car is stuck on. Also useful for jet races when the checkpoints get all weird. I say this as someone who spent the first couple months of this game locked in 1st person for the hell of it.

You know.. a group of goons and I were playing random races a couple nights ago and some loving idiot (probably me) thought it would be fun to do "Thrill In The Hill" in forced 1st-person.

..most people didn't finish. Those that did finish bitched like they just got done with one of my races. (Except they didn't poo poo-post about it.)

In other words, this sounds horrifying to me and I'm glad I'm busy until 9. But for those that contribute.. I wish you a swift and painless death.

Now, back to important features that need implemented....

I think we're all missing the most important missing features; regular vehicle maintenance.

I should have to regularly fuel up. If I run out of gas, I can't just call a new PV. I have to have call triple a to bring me fuel.

Engine'a gotta stay lubed or its gonna run hot. Better not neglect my oil changes every in-game month!

Uh oh--I've been burning these tires pretty heavily lately and it shows. They're practically bald! Time to order new tires at 50,000 since they're bullet-proof.

And wouldn't you know it? Braking has really work out the pads and rotors. Guess I gotta replace them, too.

Uh oh! I've been redlining the engine so much--and neglecting the required oil changes--that I finally cracked the block! Time to replace the whole thing for a paltry 100k since its a super car!

I reiterate again; give me more ways to murder and torment. I'll play to earn re money to buy these things. And outside of those things, just fix what's broken like people are already talking about.

Yeah, these are races with no traffic or collision, just huge glitched ramps that launch you across city blocks. Not that hard unless you are a scrub idiot bithc like me.

One "Heist Challenge" pays out $10 million.

Complete article here.

quote:

GTA Onlines new Heists content was previewed by various outlets at GDC 2015 this week, and according to hands-on with the free upcoming content, theres over 20 hours worth of things to do and quite a bit of money to gain. Oh, and a VTOL Hydra jet too.

According to a really informative piece from Games Radar, most Heists will take between two or three hours to complete, depending on a players approach to the mission and skills. Each Heist will be split into 20-30 minutes worth of prep missions, so that should help.

To participate, players will need to have reached at least Rank 12, and own a high-end apartment. Once these requirements are met, Lester will give them a ring, and a Heist room will appear in the apartment featuring a wipe-board for planning purposes.

Heist leaders will pick three players to join up, but the mission will need to be paid for up front. Games Radar says it will cost around $60,000 but they payouts are worth fronting the money.

Leaders will also be responsible for divvying up the cash once a Heist is completed. These percentage cuts will need to be set before the mission starts, obviously, and its even possible for leaders to give next to nothing to their crew members.

While that sounds rather unfair, to say the least, crew member will still earn around $12,000 in-game cash for each prep mission with bonuses paid out for kills and performance.

Crews will only have two lives to complete each mission, and once the second death occurs, the task will be reset. According to the preview, checkpoints are sensibly placed and a quick start only takes around 15-20 seconds.

One of the Heists even tasks players with stealing a VTOL Hydra jet, which unlocks for free play. The plane is located on an aircraft carrier which is heavily guarded, and in order to complete the mission, the players will need to win the ensuing aerial battle against enemy planes once the jet is stolen.

Co-operation between crew members is one of the main takeaways from the preview, which notes there isnt an incentive to competitive behavior as renegades will get their comeuppance. Players also wont have to worry about randoms invading a their Heist, which is good news.

Challenges provide extra incentive to finish a Heist and stay alive in the process. The Criminal MasterMind Challenges, for example, require the crew to finish every Heist in order without a crew member dying once and in Hard mode. One death and the task is reset no matter how much time you put into it.

This is the challenge mode which pays out $10 million, so its worth doing your best. Smaller incentives for meeting other achievements run anywhere from $10,000 to $1 million, and every completed Heist nets a new Versus modes to GTA Online.

If you head over to IGN, you can read a first-person account of a couple missions as well as watch a clip detailing how to plan a Heist.

You should really head over to Games Radar for the full thing though, its really on-point with whats included in the content. Heres the link again.

Heists, along with Daily Objectives and Adversary Mode, arrive next week on March 10.

The PC version of Heists will arrive on April 14 when the PC version of the game is released.

There are still challenges ranging from 100k to 1 million, so even if you can't get the super cool 10 million challenge you can probably walk away with one of those lesser ones and still get a better payout than you would doing random missions.
