Current Events > How long until GTA Online adds fuel to the game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

They're saying the new planes in the Smugglers Run DLC will have drop tanks which leads me to believe that at least aircraft are now going to have a fuel cost to flying them.

Or am I just being paranoid?

I think it's extremely unlikely, as that would completely change a fundamental element of the established gameplay
---

On the one hand, it would finally balance out how over powered the jets are.

On the other, if it was for *all* aircraft it would suck complete fucking ass. That's not even getting into if it was for all vehicles.

Shhh don't give them more shitty ideas.

lol you would have to start buying gas cards

Why the fuck does anyone play this shit. For fucking years it had MP without microtransactions just fine.

I'm only aware of one other GTA that had online play and there was a lot less stuff to do

The DLC is free and as a result you can get it without using Shark Cards.

"free"

they've had double gta cash for import/export sales all this week. 200k per sale. people have had tons of time to save up for this DLC. they are essentially giving it away.

?
i haven't spent a cent on gtao yet have $300-400 dollars worth of IG shit. it's a grindy game, you only pay if you don't have friends to grind with or patience to save up. the game is designed to earn everything with a crew or entourage of players. Everyone isn't meant to be rolling around with super cars, jets and flying rocket bikes (but lotsa people have them 'cuz hackers)
---

CE's ability to shill for GTA Online will never cease to amaze me.

Can't wait to see the defense once they add fuel for jets in the next update tomorrow.
---

The only way you can get enough money to buy all the countless expensive shit they sell to you is to either buy shark cards or have no life at all and grind and grind and grind and grind and grind until you do.

And what's with all the military/spy stuff they've been doing lately? I miss when GTA was a crime instead of a secret agent/mercenary game. And it's all there just for griefers anyway.

EA made gas you had to buy or wait to refill in the last Need for Speed, if I'm not mistaken

You're being paranoid and GIVING THEM IDEAS!!!

I could almost understand people defending the microtransactions at the start. Even up until Gunrunning came out.

But the bullshit Gunrunning pulled in regards to needing the Bunker to buy the MoC and the MoC to mod the new vehicles, on top of having to pay 225,000 to unlock random research customization or wait 3 hours was bullshit. It was complete fucking bullshit because before you at least had choice in what you bought, now you have no choice but to buy shit you don't want in order to get the stuff you do want.
---

GTA has stayed alive for me thanks to having a really easy way to create solo public sessions. After that I invite friends and then either vote to kick griefers, or hire on players that wanna make money too.

Made tons of cash and online friends that way. Hell just last night I made 3 million after a 2 hour run.

yuuup. since my last post in this thread I've nearly earned enough to buy the best supercar in the game and it hasn't even been two hours so lol @ needing to "no life grind" this game. People bitching just don't know how GTAO works. There's a clear, single player-esque path of progression through GTA Online, and having a crew running with you not only makes the game less grindy due to gta shenanigans but also multiplies your profit like mad.

earn 200k through associate work
buy high end apartment
clear all the heists
use heist money to invest in imp/exp, bunker, cocaine
???
profit

the real issue with this game is server issues and hackers. frustrating sometimes, just had a transaction error with the rockstar servers so I didn't get paid for a 500k ($10 usd) gunrunning shipment. i'm not even tripping though because that's chump change and can be earned back so, so easily lul.

i don't know what is worse, the people that keep playing gta online and bitching about it, or the people who keep bragging about how they only have to spend two hours doing the most mind numbingly, dumb, boring, shit to almost buy a supercar.

people should bitch more about how fucking boring gta online is instead of the microtransactions.

it's like the exact same it has been since the start, except now you have even more fucking dumb ass rocket cars and jets blowing everyone up.
---

Extremely unlikely, that would majority change the game to do that.
I mean if they do that they might as well go full RP mod with it where you can go get a part time job flipping patties at Burger Shot to make some extra cash >_>

it's only mind numbingly boring if you make it mind numbingly boring. I've always made up my own free form missions in my imagination since GTA 3, so GTA online is like a wet dream for me because it totally supports that playstyle. I'm PC commissioner of a pretty populated and active crew so people are always down to join me and partake in using all the toys that I've brought. I just RP a criminal SWAT squad or Fast and the Furious crew doing various missions, commanding newbies around with the buzzard and support valkyries and it's fun as hell.

Except that doesn't earn you money in GTA Online.

You can't be like "OMG, it's so easy to make money, just grind the missions" and then when someone points out the missions are not fun at all you can't be like "lol just make up your own fun then"

this is why everyone complains about the grinding and the shitty microtransactions. they just want to have fun in online, not have to work their ass off to even see the content.

I just played online today for the first time

I ran around with a handgun while some guy just hunted me down relentlessly

Lame

Yes it fucking does. Just switch your brain off and pretend you're stealing the cars for yourself instead of securoserv. it's easy. don't tell me i can't make money off it when it's literally all I do on GTA O and I'm rich because of it lol

Oh my god, making up a story in your head doesn't change the fact that they are all the same 7 or so collection points with the same 4 or so scenarios of "go here, grab car, go to warehouse"

making up a story in your head doesn't stop the gameplay from being boring as fuck.

you can boil every game down to three short bulletpoints. no wonder you find the game boring.
whatever. the success of the game speaks for itself. you're allowed to not like the popular thing.

Nah, heists were a lot more complex than that. So were the single player missions.

GTA Online is just repetitive garbage. It's okay if you like it, but lets not kid ourselves. The only reason anyone complains about the microtransactions is because the game isn't actually fun to play to unlock the good stuff.

And the success does speak for itself. Todays average gamer is a fucking moron. That's why we have all these damn loot boxes and shit in every game now.

It's grindy, but I like coming up with different ways to grab the car or gunrunning resupply.

It's definitely not for everyone, but to say no one should enjoy GTA O is a bit childish, imo.
