A little attention will let you learn the distance at which you are too close to a certain spawn point so it defaults to a further one. That rarely happens to me anymore. Just be close but not too close to the spawn point when you call it.

I find myself unable to do missions now because I have to get out of the Oppressor. Nothing in this game is even 1/100th as fun as rocket bike.

Mine still says $0 received from others, only $44k shared by others.

$7m showing as picked up though, out of $691m overall income

I've also shared over 1.1m from jobs now, too. Usually $1000 a time sending $50 to everyone in the lobby.

That's....something. Didn't even ask for a review. That happened two days after the ban, but I didn't check my inbox until now.

I'd go back online and verify, but maybe I should uninstall all of the SP mods I've loaded the game up with first.

My money's probably gone, too.

He initially got mad at me for blowing up supplies and I said sorry, it was an accident. Then sure enough they roll out a full product run and Lasagna and I just rolled all over the map blowing up all 3 packages and laughing hysterically.

The APC is not only a powerhouse as far as the cannon and armor go, it'll scoot all over the map like crazy, over hills and through streams. The Oppressor is the only thing that can even touch it.

Can we all agree that making these new vehicles Personal Vehicles instead of Special Vehicles / Pegasus vehicles basically ruined this game?

Not only did it completely unbalance every aspect of Free Mode play, but, it also made an entire DLC worth of vehicles obsolete, on top of countless Pegasus Vehicles.

There is absolutely 0 reason that any of these new vehicles should be able to be stored in a Personal Garage. They should sit in a Parking Garage inside the Bunker to be called out like the Special Vehicles from I/E.

I'm also loving the bi-weekly cash shakedowns from Rockstar; definitely a great message to send to your players to let them know how much you value their continued support of their game.

The oppressor alone completely hosed the balance up. In an aggressive lobby, It's just an Oppressor match because everything else is garbage now.

You can hunt hydras and buzzards and zip accross the map to pop some crates and back for more hydras and over to the other side for a few import/export cars and blow up whoever on the way back and if you get blown up or knocked off whatever just get it back in 3 feet away from you through the biker club thing.

It's not a supercars and trucks and tanks and helicopters and planes game anymore.

It's a flying motorcycle game. And either you can afford the 2.6m for the bike, 1m for the bunker, 2 mil for the truck and mod bay, and a pile of money or time to speed up the missile upgrade, or you're just cannon fodder. Add to that, the freeroam top speed challenge now requires the rocket car, the longest jump challenge now requires the flying motorcycle, sniper kills requires the explosive sniper ammo. Freeroam sessions feel for the first time like pay to win.

The game is 10 times more fun when you can just buy whatever and go nuts. I find myself just loving with people in funny ways because i don't give a poo poo about succeeding in their activity for the cash. I spend half of my time these days chasing down and squishing import/export cars with the big rig or buzzing them in the hydra to make them think they're dodging death, or trying to knock their helicopter out of the air with my helicopter.

Most big lobbies you can't even get a cargobob across the city without being hit by 4 explosive sniper rounds and an oppressor missile so there's no point in even doing any supply missions or anything for the fun of it.

It's such a patchwork mishmash of on going content now, and they're not likely to produce any substantial additions anymore from what I gather, it's time to earn the money you want to get the specific things you want and then just dork around. Or it's time to go mod singleplayer and go nuts. Then hibernate until RDR2 or GTA6.

I looked into it for a sec and you're right, there's not any reliable sources either way, just a random leaker on reddit saying the updates will slow down. I'm still inclined to believe that they will slow down the closer we get to RDR2 and I'm also inclined to believe that with the addition of wacky new overpowered toys that they're not taking it as "seriously" as before, which is honestly a good thing, but it'll be frustrating for people who just want to grind crates for money.

Considering it probably takes a relatively small team to keep pumping out stuff and they've made a bajillion loving dollars off of it, it'll keep coming out until the shark cards stop selling. Even if it's 50 people, making $120m revenue a quarter, $800k/employee.

"the weaponized tampa makes so many heist setups trivial" say players who haven't gotten out of their armored kuruma in the last 2 years

apparently the buzzard is still better in speed over an Oppressor because you can maintain a constant rate instead of the boost->glide cycle. The Oppressor, meanwhile, is significantly more fun. and at the end of the day, fun is what we're here for, right? right

The Oppressor's only slower from point-to-point if you're using it like a lovely airplane. If you keep on the ground boosting as often as possible, keep the wings out and push forward to reduce airtime, and use the glide only to go over obstacles like cars, buildings, valleys and cliffs, it's actually way faster.

Either way you use it is far more fun than a Buzzard though, yeah.

You can also pop a wheelie to launch the Oppressor into the air with its wings retracted, then do the ol' lean back and hump it trick to just keep accelerating. I wish I was actually good at this.

All the new weaponized vehicles are pretty kill-able with standard every day stuff, with the exception maybe being the Oppressor.
