How are we doing as moderators? What can we do to make this subreddit better?

TL;DR the loyalty bonus is the same for anyone who receives it at $100k and it's simply lumping the tax rebate/refund promotional bonus into the same message.

/u/Allegiance10 gave what I believe to be more than likely an accurate theory of how people are getting these figures. We've had people confirm already that the people who have gotten the largest bonus all spent at least the $10mil required for the $1mil rebate during the promotional period. That's some solid evidence that at least part of that bonus is people's refund/rebate from the promotion. So assuming the people that got $1.35mil got a the max bonus from the promotion that leaves $100k unaccounted for. His theory is that the $100k is the loyalty bonus and anyone who qualifies for the loyalty bonus is getting the exact same $100k and the game just combines the loyalty bonus and promotion bonus into one message making it look like it's all just a loyalty bonus. We'll know for sure soon enough though when nobody receives a separate bonus though. Already it seems long enough after the promotion though that if it were a separate bonus and all these people would be paid again at least one would probably have received both bonuses by now. With that, I'm heavily inclined to believe that it is just both lumped into one. Even more evidence is that I only logged in once during the promotion and spent very little money during that day. That means my promotional bonus would be not much over the $250k base. What I received though was just over $350k as my loyalty bonus. This figure again works with the theory of both bonuses being lumped into one. It just adds up.

I am finally making enough money to buy some air vehicles. This looks like a perfect start. Does anyone know how i unlock the trade price?

I know that a while ago you were able to switch sessions before the research bar filled. Is that still working?

Has anyone had any issues with people doing the deluxe God mode glitch recently? I've had 2 run ins today alone and it's my first time on in about a week.

Hello everyone. I've officialy had it with Rockstar, and I believe I will not be working with the company any longer. I plan to quit sometime in August. So why not just leak their plans? Everyone wants it, anyways. Every time I come home from work, I see Gta 6 confirmed videos, fake rumors, and lies that flood the community. I'll give you the truth. Rockstar hired me in 2015. In 2016, we began working on a project that I had been wild for ages, ever since the release of Grand Theft Auto V. This project would be called Grand Theft Auto VI. Now, I'll skip the beginning process of how the company planned to start working on this game. As I cannot say much information, because the safety of my last few months with this company could have it's integrity compromised, I will give you the juicy details of what this game will have, the features, and what Rockstar plans on doing after this project is fully out to the public.

Now, lets start with NPCs. There will be various animals. If your not interested in this part, read past this. This game will include ALL animals from Grand Theft Auto V, along with raccoons, ducks, bears, owls, snakes, and other wildlife. The reason I cannot give you more information about other animals coming to the game, is because Rockstar do not have the unstated animals 100% planned, and I don't want to give false information. The animals I stated are 100% coming to the game, though.

Customization will have a BIG role in this game. When playing singleplayer, you can get various disguises. These disguises will allow you to go into restricted areas, such as a military base, a police station, a prison, a construction area, and other areas that are not quite confirmed yet. Originally, we planned on having these areas only being interiors, much like Grand Theft Auto 5. But the decision was made to give players exclusive content, access to easter eggs, and other goodies. Now, lets start with the police station. You will be able access this area 24/7, but you will need to sneak into the locker room to steal a police outfit in order to start using this content. The police outfit will allow you to get a police car, and pull people over. Once you pull someone over, you will have two options. Rob, or Hijack. Robbing will throw them out of the car, and cause an interaction making the pulled over NPC drop money, and run away. Hijacking is self explanatory, so I won't go into that.

Now Online, customization will only take role in the same way it does in Grand Theft Auto 5, but small bonus will be given with each piece of clothing, much like the outfit sets of Sleeping Dogs. For example, if you have a more low end ripped top, NPCs will not want to mess with you, or start a fight with you. If you are wearing high end clothes, you will be allowed to enter fancy stores, and other areas. If you are wearing a piece of clothing, say a tank top and a armor vest with ammo magazines attached, you will be given a 5% health bonus and your ammo capacity will be increased by 10%. Many more bonuses will be added to the game, including accuracy bonuses, damage bonuses, money bonuses, and more.

Now, I am sorry to inform you that Rockstar will be continuing their greed of Grand Theft Auto 5, as they plan to add back the continuation of Shark Cards, and having a low pay rate. They have learned from their mistakes a little bit, but not much. Say you wanted to buy 1.5 million dollar car. If you start with $0, it would take you 3 days of playing a mission that gives the same pay rate. You would have to play the mission 5 times a day on hard to get this rate of gain.

New Features for singleplayer that I am happy to announce are the following. Surfing, fishing, mugging, camping, taking hostages, and more. You will have four playable single player characters. John Baker, Olivia Davis, Aiden Miller, and Noah Daltrey.

The Location will have players returning to Liberty City, the final Single Player mission is planned to take place in Vice City. Since it is just the last mission, the plan is not to create an entire Vice City, but just what is needed for the mission, much like North Yankton in Grand Theft Auto V.

This is all the info I have for now, but if anyone is curious about other topics regarding this project, I will do my best to answer in a way that will not danger me.

When and what will the next DLC be?

At the beginning of 2017 I decided to go on a remastered nostalgia trip and I bought GTA V for the PS4.

Problem was, I was 10+ hours in and I can't change characters, weapons, or radio stations. I thought it was the odd bug that would go away, but it kept happening periodically or every time I boot up the game. Sometimes it works and I can switch my character/weapon/radio, but every time I attempt to change my character for the second time it jinxes and messes up again.

Eventually I gave up, and I put the game away for the rest of the year.

Now fast forward to 2018. I feel like playing it again. I booted up the game in its updated entirety and the same bug is still happening. I've already done all the missions available to Franklin (I'm stuck on him) and I'm bored. I can't advance the story missions or anything.

I thought Rockstar would at least try and fix this. A little google search told me that people have been experiencing this problem on all platforms since 2014. I've attempted all the (un)conventional fixes with no luck. And I'm fully aware that all the characters are switchable and I'm not in some mission that stops me from changing characters. Damn, I can't even change my weapons.

If anyone can tell me any solution they can think of, please do tell me (even the ones that you think I've done). I love this game, but I've had this problem for more than a year and it's so game-breaking it makes me want to snap my disk or at least swap it at EB Games so I can get a game that actually works.

If I already own a bunker and I go buy another one.. will it be more like a trade in, similar to buying another apartment? Looking to get a bunker closer to the city. Thanks everyone!

Does anyone know about any other anime (or any similar) liveries in GTA Online? I know about the Benny's sultan RS and the sentinel classic, but is there any others than that? Thanks!

Mp wont work for my game and I cant buy the new doomsday stuff so hacking in money is a waste until I get it over steam and hope it fixes my network issues. Is there a mod that allows you to buy the mp vehicles through the phone websites? I've tried out a few but non work or are just horribly designed.

If someone know, I need it just for fun singleplayer gameplay ^{^} and if you could provide me a link - On internet i only find suspicious sites and links dunno what is legit what not. :)

Personally, I think the radio, customer customization, car customization, asset buying, weapons, side missions (especially races), and just the sheer amount of new content introduced puts its ahead.

Gta IV better in DRIVING, FLYING PLANES, graphics (of course bc time), and thats it.

If san andreas was made when IV was made, it would be way better bc graphics.

Let's see what everyone is driving! If you can, please post the vehicle name, why you love it, and any relevant information about the vehicle.

Here are my two babies:

Nero Custom I love the body style. It's like the Adder's meaner, slimmer brother.

Dewbauchee Vagner

I Haven't played GTA in quite some time and had no idea this new station had been put in. The music is amazing. Just wanted to thank Rockstar and say how great it is.

I would like more radio stations, so this is very cool!

(Sorry if this is old news)

it keep happening...everytime i reach the Movie studio, it crashed....i can't progress a al...Fresh install , low setting...and it keep crashing

Pacific Standard - Vans I've had people quit instantly, people get in their cars and start street racing each other, people who quit once all vans have been photographed, the one just now after a 10 minute wait for the lobby to fill up drove to the first van and sticky bombed it.

This has to be one of the easiest set ups, why is everyone such a jerk?! It's driving me insane and making me hate the game.

Im pretty nerdy when it comes to playing gta in the sense that I just like to drive around following traffic laws. So now I'm looking for some new cars to drive about (money is not an issue) some personal favourites so far for me are the dominator (sounds beautiful) and the pheonix.( which is funny because I'm not normal keen on muscle cars) Any suggestions? Bikes and cars?

What do you think? Is it a coincidence that the premium edition of gta 5 leaks just 2 months before the official gta4 10 year anniversery, or do you think the two have something to do with each other? Perhaps a map expansion coming to gta 4? Or a new story in liberty city with Niko? This could also explain why Rockstar threatened to sue OpenIV for the gta4 mod last year.

I got GTA V today for my Xbox One. Since my character from my 360 wont transfer over. I have to start allover again which is ok.

What is a good/fast way to level up? I am a level one since I haven't done anything apart from make my character.

I've recently been using my avenger a lot, and was wondering, were some vehicle rockets more powerful than others.

For example, while trying to take out my friend just as a joke, and it took quite a few rockets from one of my jets. Later I tried again with my oppressor and deluxo, both had different results. I'm wondering if this was where I hit the Avenger, or if some rockets are more powerful than others.

If anyone knows which car/plane/Heli homing rockets are the strongest, please let me know.

Go!

The blue circle to rearrange cars in my garage is gone, I checked my hangar and the circle is still in there. Is anyone else experiencing this? How do I fix it?

Totally new to GTA. My driving sucks. What's the best way to practice without doing the main storyline? My car seems out of control and I keep banging into things. Is there a way to just drive around and get the "feel" for the driving mechanics before doing the main storyline?

Neat. I just got a message from Xbox Live "congratulations you have completeyour January Xbox Quest! Your reward is... A GTAV Shark Card $500,000 in game currency" weird. Anybody know what a January Xbox Quest is? I haven't played GTA in months, so I don't think it's the tax return or whatever I'm seeing recently.

since r* have been making a lot of retro cars and i think the sanchez in this game sucks... i'd love a retro Sanchez from San Andreas with that nice 2 stroke engine sound and wheelie capabilities like the Manchez
