Yep will be on as it drops. Really looking forward to this one. Not only because it is the first in months, but also the shear size of it. It will be massive. :)

Yeah this one I'm definitely looking forward to, I would like to see how the mobile SAM launcher fares against a Hydra as they've been near enough invincible to most ammunition - it's super easy to dodge a homing missile, and it takes about a million rounds with the sniper rifle to get them to start smoking.

Add me if you spot me around, wouldn't mind partaking in some of the content, I've got enough cash to buy everything now but I hate doing work with randoms :p

I think new players are reliant on the Shark cards and hackers, there's no other way round it for the most part, a couple of mates started playing recently and it must be dull as dishwater for them to watch me mess around in a hyper car while they're stuck with the Elergy - there's not even a great way to make any real money other than grinding PacStan and even that takes hours for not much rewards.

I am on my recycled character which is currently 65. I have been grinding Pac and only made 8.5 million in that time. That's after 55 hours with lots of messing about in free roam...

Yeah it's pants really, I'd imagine it's not that great for a new player to try and make any real money. The only thing I can think of is the Criminal Mastermind challenge and that's only do-able once.

Thankfully, some modders dropped a ton of money on me while I was AFK a few weeks back, sittin' pretty on about $105m.

Yep, the first 3 awards, AiO, Loyalty CM are the only way to kick start your Game really. I have 80 odd million in my bank (all earned) so I am not really fussed about the cost of stuff. However I really think R* have made a rod for their own back but not keeping up rewards with content. Remember when the Adder was the most expensive car? LOL I think shark card bonaza is over and as such they should increase rewards to match to the content or reduce the cost of content.
I am not sure if this will be the last Online major free DLC but their can't be much left. Just wish they would release either a map update expansion or SP DLC. We know the latter is pretty much dead so a map update would be great. Only thing is, they have to stop at some point. 4 years old in :eek:September

Yeah I agree - there can't be that much more left in the pipeline considering how much they've released already, however they do still make an absolute fortune off Shark cards so I guess if stuff keeps getting more expensive, it'll just continue to drive sales of the cards. I distinctly remember looking at the T20 when it came and thinking how insanely expensive it was and how little cash I had at the time, but it's now at the point where everything new is crazy money. You want a sign in your Office garage, sir? That'll be $200k!

I think a map expansion would be great, but I guess it'd massively expensive/resource hungry to make. They wouldn't make extra heists due to the time taken for those so a whole new section would either need to be paid for seperately (for real money), or they'll just give us a few more minor DLC's before plugging away at RDR2 or a potential GTA 6.

Shame if they stop developing the game soon, it's actually fun just to jump into the game for a little while and not actually do anything other than drive around, ramp off things on a bike, or get into intense gun battles with whichever noob tries to off you with an Insurgent :p
 
There has been a massive readjustment of cash. So some might have some removed...

New DLC stuff is awesome. Not sure how useful it will be outside of gunrunning though

Rail gun FTW

Did you have the money removed? I had a hacker drop £18m on me but when I was loading in it said it had adjusted my account, Left with $1000 lol.

I've not had a chance to check yet but it looks like a big one so I'm guessing I'll either be broke or banned. Hopefully they see the 1000 hours play time and let me keep it haha :p
 
Received over $200million recently from a hacker as CEO bonus or something like that. It was $50k a second till I quit the game. And touch wood haven't lost a penny. Bought just about everything in the game, including the latest content.

I would hate to be starting out in the game now, everything is so phohibably expensive.

Quite like the new content, lots to customise, haven't tried the missions yet.
 
Just logged in and as the game was loading I got a Welcome screen with text about not to cheat and to report players etc. Did anyone else get this? I don't cheat nor have I received cash from haxors so it's a bit alarming...
 
The research and the arms manufacturing is very slow. However the resupply mission are a lot of fun.

The APC will be a free roam game changer. It is just insane. Goes anywhere, has a cannon and is a personal vehicle........ Mine is stored in my Heist house :p

Very impressed with content so far.

As for money adjustments. They are hit and miss but there are a lot of people ****** off...
 
The research can be boosted to completion for about $225k once the progress bar shows something. Doesn't take too long till you start unlocking a few cool things.

I quite like the MKII weapons also.
 
Well, I lost about $90m last night, but still had enough for the bunker and the command center, still have a little more for other bits and pieces so will be on later for some action.
