How to improve GTA Online

TacoMan

I don't think I've seen a similar thread for this, so here goes....

First off, this is not a "things that suck in GTA-O" thread, but more little improvements that could be made to make the game more enjoyable overall. If we get a good list together maybe we could send it on to R*? No daft suggestions like "NO COPS!" or "Open the casino!" etc.

These first two that have been wrecking my head this week:

1.Option to Join or Host a job - They've slightly improved the freemode job access by having to press right to confirm you want to start the job, but countless times this week I've tried to start a new Lamar mission and 95% of the time get thrown into a populated lobby. Trying this in an invite/crew only session seems to make no difference and it's just pot-luck to see if you'll be host. Options should be: "press right to confirm start job", followed by (for example) Press X to Join, Press Square to Host.

2.Improve Hunt The Beast/freemode events - How many times has Hunt The Beast been ruined by some sap in a jet who just rains down bullets/missiles on everyone (including The Beast)? Once you press right for "a chance of becoming the beast" you get locked into the event. Once in, you shouldn't be able to use a jet/attack chopper (The Beast included) - have a countdown timer appear "You will leave this event in 10 seconds etc." once you hop into a chopper/jet. In general I think it would be better if anyone outside a particular event shouldn't be able to kill any participants -another version of Passive Mode.

3.Improved Mechanic: We pay this chancer enough money, after we call the mechanic we should have the ability to put a waypoint on the map to indicate where we want our cars delivered (within a reasonable distance from your current location). At least when the mechanic was an NPC you could hit him over the head with a golf club when he left your car up on a bridge etc.

4.Unused Weapon Storage: Simpy put - a place to store unused weapons

Cop free sessions but you would have to leave out certain side missions. And it's not a daft suggestion imo.

Cop Free Sessions - robbing stores/freemode events/armoured trucks/anything that earns money would all have to be removed.

Max Mafioso

An option to sell weapons you dont want or use as well as an option to sell an apartment if you dont want it.

An option to sell Pegasus vehicles , I'd get rid of the liberator for a start , plus someone might sell a gold jet they have lying around the place

Yeah, that would be the trade off alright.

Option to fit parts and paint etc in lsc so you can see exactly what different combos are like. Then it would charge you one combined fee as you leave for all the chosen mods you carried out in that visit.

Gun storage for unused guns would be good. There is a weapon rack in our heist rooms after all. Make it so your only able to carry one thing from each slot. Would make it interesting as you would have to make sacrifices and think about your chosen arsenal.

Would like to have more spaces for saved outfits as well.

Would love the option to have to ring Simeon and ask him what cars were needed if I felt like it rather then having the irritating text from him popping up and constantly getting two stars for jumping in a car that he wants even though I have no interest in delivering anything to the bastard.

Anyone that causes lsc or ammunition to be closed due to shooting inside the door only effects the person responsible and not everyone. I shouldnt be denied the use of somewhere because someone else thinks it's great to troll people. I will admit I've done it myself but it is a pain when you just want to mess around in the mod shop.

Anyway that's my 2 cents

I mentioned it a year ago but it would be great if they were somehow able to integrate YouTube with the TV in the apartment so you can watch Youtube clips in game
Also mentioned before, binoculars or telescope

Custom Soundtrack on PS3.

Im sick of the radio stations.

A "Favourites" section in the Interactive Menu. Heavy Armour, Targeting priority, Vehicle Access - It would be handy to have these in a quick menu, rather than scrolling through various sections looking for armour as you're getting shot to bits.

The option to roll down the windows of your own car would be nice. I find it annoying that any time I want to sticky someone, or shoot them I smash my own window to throw it. Just roll the window down

All of Stu's ideas are pretty spot on. Especially the option to add various mods to other cars just to see what they look like.

Would also like an option to maybe remove certain parts of paint jobs i.e. the big stripe down the middle on the Dominator, but keep the bits around the side. Also, if you've the option of a carbon hood and carbon roof, why not a carbon trunk?

The ability to move cars from garage to garage instead of having to drive them here there and everywhere would be nice.

Stick your finger up out the window frankie and he puts it down instead of smashing it.

When you switch character it would be nice to see these options:

Join Previous Session
Join New Session
Start Invite/Crew Only Session.
