GTA Online - Drop Zone Update

[OWGKID]

R* released a new GTA Online update today  :-D


Two new vehicles have been added to Benny's Original Motorworks, the Karin Sultan and Bravado Banshee. A new adversary mode called "Drop Zone" is now added.

 ??? ??? ???

You have always been able to see a banshee sitting on one of those racks at Benny's and I used to ask, what the heck is a Banshee doing there? :-D

I checked their "Newswire" yesterday and there was no notification of this. Hehe, they like to surprise us and to keep us playing  :-X :)

450.6MB isn't too big an update.. a matter of less than a minute download time here  ^-^

Careful!!!      Careful!!!      Careful!!!

I noticed that a lot of my upgrades disappeared after joining a different session. I thought it was a one time only bad luck thingy, so I restarted the game, still gone. I bought new ones (spent a total of $168.895 twice on the upgrades now) and they disappeared again!!

I submitted a request at Rockstar support and asked for a refund, there I found out there's loads of people complaining about the same issues with both the Sultan RS and the Banshee 900R.
My advice is; Don't buy them until they fix the bug!

You may buy the car and do the base upgrade (Which will boost the performance quite nicely). That won't disappear. But most visual upgrades are unstable. I lost Engine block upgrade, Strut Brace, Livery, Dash, Doors, Seats and Steering wheels.  :'(
The outside body upgrades were still there, but I suggest not to risk any expensive upgrades until the bug is fixed. Will keep you posted about my ticket @ R* support. ;)

[Art Blade]

bugger. Sorry to hear that, Binnatics :( Thanks for the heads-up, though.  :-X

I was reluctant anyway so I only got a stolen Karin Sultan in my garage yet, no upgrades at all. However, I believe that R* support will help you and that R* is genuinely interested in solving that problem. So far, they've always been helpful and sorted stuff out.

[Binnatics]

Well, the first reply to my bug report wasn't really possitive. They auto replied that they don't give refunds when players aren't happy about their purchases. Lol, that pissed me off. But now the stuff on my car is all back, so I think they fixed it ^-^

[Art Blade]

I found out that their first reply is a standard all-purpose reply out of their help desk manual. But they offer something like, "if that didn't help please tell us (THEN we'll seriously start looking into it and help you)"  ;)

And all white looked a bit.. pale. So I added a nice eye-catching red. :-D

Nice. :-D

When we started online, we were proud when we were able to upgrade stolen cars for ourselves, spending a few ten thousands of dollars. Now.. stuff like that golden plane is worth 10 million dollars. Same goes for the super yacht, 8-10M dollars. The Banshee and the Sultan RS are worth around 1.2M dollars. I think we've got rich :-D

You make me envious Art  :-D 8)

[Art Blade]

 :-D no need to. For instance, I don't own any golden planes. However, when I last checked, my stats indicated that I had accumulated a total of roughly 145 million dollars. Most of which is spent and shared between my TWO online characters. Not a single cent of my money was cheated or obtained in any other glitched way. All honest w@&k (my OWG online crew rank is 431).  And a LOT of time (3,000+ hours) :)

Almost looks like something from ArmA3

I like to go back to GTAV just to drive around a bit. Particularly in this now fully tuned Karin Sultan RS. Crazy, I spent about $1.5M on this car alone. And for the Banshee -- I slapped on a few upgrades, too. Total cost for both fully upgraded cars around $3M. Why? Not because I had to. But because I could. :-()
