However, the news of GTA Online's new DLC, its features, and the things that will be improved have been well received.Dark Space@_DarkSpace_@RockstarGames The improvements to GTA online sound respectful to the player base. I really want to care, but I've lost all interest in GTA online. I'm sick of the map. If you're building 6 for the long term, build it with map expansion in mind.1775@RockstarGames The improvements to GTA online sound respectful to the player base. I really want to care, but I've lost all interest in GTA online. I'm sick of the map. If you're building 6 for the long term, build it with map expansion in mind.While the promised changes can be appreciated, the fact that many players are tired of playing the same game has to be taken into account. However, as Rockstar itself acknowledged in the newswire article, there have been a number of new players who are quite interested in the game.JMF@JoMcFly67@_DarkSpace_ @RockstarGames My dude, I am going to dissagree with you. They finaly do what we asked them, they listened. It’s too little too late but there is no reason to still be negative. Shouldn’t we encourage good behavior? They are working on it. Making art takes time, take my developers word for it.2@_DarkSpace_ @RockstarGames My dude, I am going to dissagree with you. They finaly do what we asked them, they listened.

This overpowered vehicle has acquired a nefarious reputation as the preferred vehicle of griefers. This is because it's a futuristic hoverbike that can traverse the map quite easily and comes equipped with guided missiles that are near-impossible to avoid.BS_BlackScout@bs_blackscout@RockstarGames This is a great, great post. Thanks for communicating with us and for wanting to make GTA Online griefing less of an annoyance. As well as improving the grind and providing balance updates for old content.351@RockstarGames This is a great, great post. Thanks for communicating with us and for wanting to make GTA Online griefing less of an annoyance. As well as improving the grind and providing balance updates for old content.Rockstar has finally taken a step in the right direction by deciding to crack down on griefing. Moreover, they've also promised to make the game less about grinding and more about enjoying. While this might seem like an ambiguous statement at first, Rockstar has clearly mentioned that it'll be increasing payouts.BS_BlackScout@bs_blackscout@RockstarGames I do feel bad for RDO but I definitely see where that comes from. Logically the game probably doesn't generate as much profit and creating massive content probably makes no sense. Especially paired with GTA 6 development and other projects like GTAO content...181@RockstarGames I do feel bad for RDO but I definitely see where that comes from.

Especially paired with GTA 6 development and other projects like GTAO content...Red Dead Online players haven't been too happy about this community update. Sadly, the company has made it clear that there won't be any major thematic updates for the game. Meanwhile, the new GTA Online update will be bringing Contact Missions where players get to play as IAA agents.Darth Sk8d3r@sk8d3r@GhillieYT @RockstarGames I hope they don't just nerf the MK2, but also buff other vehicles. Some vehicles are useless cause of how weak they are.50@GhillieYT @RockstarGames I hope they don't just nerf the MK2, but also buff other vehicles. Some vehicles are useless cause of how weak they are.GTA Online has endured a long list of requests from fans over the years. It will be interesting to see how many of these are addressed, given Rockstar's most recent assertions that it will consult the community before making any improvements.
