Game is going easy mode to lower barrier for entry and promote gta+ memberships and shark card sales, to be sure, but this Vinewood Car Club announcement is proof positive that gtao is also being used to normalize various monetization they'll use in gtaVI. I've said it before; they are going to redefine monetization with gtaVI. Players are going to pay and pay and pay.

I haven't played in a long time now, but they're putting a GTA+ membership club on Elysian Island?

Like...that was the best spot for Import/Export because faggots never went there. I'm sure Import/Export is completely broken at this point and nobody uses it so I'm just an old man yelling at clouds but god damn they have absolutely no space to put anything on this map.

Why the fuck would the VINEWOOD car club be on a fucking freight dock? How dumb do they have to be to not make this a Midnight Club themed thing?

Oh wait, I forgot. It's geared towards fucking Zoomers and they don't even know WTF Midnight Club is.

It IS broken now in general. At current state, it's only funcional as spawn or teleport spot and garage for Special CEO vehicles.

And it gets worse from here
 
The option to "register as a boss" combining CEO and MC president roles is iffy. I never register as an MC president except for right before a sale so as to avoid the business fees and the shitty raid missions as much as possible. Will this now be unavoidable? Can I still register as just a CEO instead of this new combination Boss role?

Also I was bitching non-stop on reddit (I know...) about the inability to specify desired racing modes all the way back when stunt races came out. I can't believe they finally decided to make all these improvements and QOL changes when the games on the way out.

You will pay your MC Business taxes, you will get raid constantly for having "too much" products, and you will be happy.
 
I like how they're still missing shit.

How about stopping the game music from fucking with the radio during missions or an in-vehicle weapon wheel cause you have like 15 fucking weapons to choose from (more on bikes) and having to scroll one at time is fucking slow as shit and can get your ass kill, especially if you go past the AP Pistol.

They "handled" this years ago

Of course, the solution is that they force you to buy a weapon safe inside one of your businesses to store your weapons

Of course, there's plenty of cases of shit glitching out, and there are tons of free giveaway weapons that cannot be stored without a lot of effort.

Don't forget that the safe only allows you to do that in free-roam and you're back to scrolling during contact missions and heists.
 
So "Become a Boss" is literally just CEO and MC President into it's own little sub-menu.. That and they can now shorten the text to say "Become a Boss" in notification prompts instead of saying "Register as a CEO, VIP or MC President."

Maybe I sound retarded and just haven't played in so long I forget something that is obvious, but what is the benefit to even having both open at once?

You don't have both open. You still have to pick CEO or MC.. You choose "Become a Boss" and it offers you two choices, Secure-o-serve and Motorcycle Club. There is no new feature with this, they're literally doing house cleaning which should have been done half a decade ago.

Wow

This is shit that should have been implemented when the MC's were introduced, not...holy shit, seven years later?

So far it's looking like Rockstar has removed more content than they have added this update. They removed around 200 cars from being purchasable on the in game websites that they deemed "lesser-used". Their reasoning to do this is to make the websites less cluttered however they could have just added new sorting options like A-Z or by class. Presumably though the reason why this is being done is they intend to add back these cars only for the people who bought GTA+.

That's definitely the reason, if they want to streamline the site all that had to do was to allow sorting by manufacturer or a search bar. The game has a working address bar that literally no one uses, if you can do that you can fucking do a search bar.

It seems some cooldown timers have been increased. I know that Franklin's payphone hits cooldown has been increase to 48 minutes. The explosive guns on jets have been nerfed, they fire slower.

Aheads about the mission On Parade, it's a fucking slog. It starts off fine but goes off a cliff once Merryweather's avenger show. It's insanely durable and can possibly one-shot you. Also, the helis are more dangerous than the jets for some reason.

Of course the affordable civilian super cars got deleted from store. Or you could just steal and make it yours via LSC. Oh wait, you can't do that to most vehicles for being "too hot" :politisperg:

Everyone needs to stop playing this game.

I dropped it, you can do it.
 

The bug doesn't interfere with Shark Card transaction, thus R* would not bother to fix this in months unless the community goes on rage. Avoid modifying Service Vehicle or let alone calling it to be safe.
