GTA5 - More custom cars and car variety

[Rekty]

Custom cars - (NOT SPECIFICALLY SUPERCARS, SUPERCARS ARE NOT THE SAME AS CUSTOM CARS)

imo more custom cars would be really nice, there are tonnes of custom cars available and they stand out much more than the gtao cars. i am not suggesting 200mph cars for everyone, im not suggesting adding 1000 Lambos and Ferraris. I am just suggesting more custom cars in general.



Custom cars would make purchasing even low/mid-tier vehicles feel more rewarding as you'd be driving around in something unique, not something you see 500 locals drive every day, even if it is in the same price range and class of vehicle.

i know a lot of people really really like custom cars as well, and ive heard that some people (including one i know) absolutely hates the lack of custom cars.


I dont see any negatives with having custom cars, its normal in most servers, and always has been in eGO aswell (as far as i can remember, anyway)

custom cars also enhance the car trading market (other than dealerships) aswell imo as people have preferences and there would be collectible cars (exclusive auction cars would also be sick)

car dealers are also kind of useless atm so if there were a lot more selection (including custom cars) I'm sure they'd be more sought after, both to swap vehicles and to test drive.


Vapid cars do have more customization for the most part, but people would still be able to buy those. I don't see a problem with giving them the option to buy custom cars if they prefer that instead.


wouldn't mind debating against someone who is against this in the replies, I personally don't see a problem with adding this and think it would be all positive.

There are plenty of GTAO cars that aren't being used, I think personally instead of adding streamed/custom cars, we should switch up the selection from dealerships daily. Custom cars, in my opinion, have very few benefits, they rarely have extras, liveries, and are often broken speed-wise, which is just additional work for the car guys. There are plenty of GTAO cars we don't use in the server, there are 695 total cars, but we'll just assume there's around 450 that are actually usable (doesn't fly, no boost, etc) there's PLENTY of cars, that would stand out if there's more selection.

The same thing as said above really, additionally there's liveries, paint options, spoilers and so much more to have your "local" car stand out.

The same thing can be done with more selection of GTAO cars. You can have "exclusive" auctions, with GTAO cars. Personally feel like streamed cars, wouldn't really enhance the trading market, as you can still have collectible cars, that are GTAO vehicles.

Not to mention having 40 streamed cars driving around, does have a hit on performance. I don't think streamed cars should never come (which was never the plan), however, I do think there's a sweet spot, where players are kept interested and the server isn't rushing through everything in store for players.

For the supercars? Sure, for any vehicle we have for sale right now? No. Pull up in a stock version of any of them (other than kuruma ig?) and I wouldn’t know if you stole a local car or actually bought one. Doesn’t feel rewarding at all to spend a ton of money on a car that it takes you 3 minutes to get from a local.

Benefits is that people really like em, most look way better than gta lore equivalents too.

Custom cars will come but they arent going to be overly abundant like they used to.

when though? its been a month since wipe and all we've seen has been the sultan and focus which were added with an unrealistically low price compared to any other vehicle that has been in the shop.

I totally agree, I think that having a handful of custom cars is nice to spice things up a little, but the main thing that must be done is to add GTAO vehicles, which are perfectly fine and tend to have a ton of customization, to the server. I have been asking and posting about it for awhile and have been left ignored in regards to this topic. And I simply don’t understand what the hold up could be with adding some more GTAO vehicles to the server.

Yeah car variety in dealerships (in terms of gtao cars) is kinda bad right now aswell imo

Dealerships were slow coming off the ground but there plans to be 1 custom car per car addition phase which is planned to start being every 2 weeks.

1 custom car per car addition phase seems fine, assuming there is more gtao cars added during the car addition phases aswell

 

[Inkery]

it will likely be around 2-4 GTAO cars per phase

 

[Rekty]

Thats fair, though imo during the first/few there should be more as there is very little selection right now anyway, once it starts getting a few then 2-4 makes sense.

 

[MazzexTV]

Addon cars would probably make the server more attractive to play.

 

[Rekty]

acc 1 custom car per category for the first few drops (and a few gtao vehs in each catagory) would make more sense, then tune it down, as selection is v low atm.




idk about the whole dealership evolves along with the economy thing, makes it kinda pointless and worthless to have a lot of money if by the time you can spend it everyone will be able to afford whatever releases. y not be able to flex a bit, buy an expensive car or appartment (ik d8 isnt a thing yet) i dont see the point in only low/mid tier cars being available when some can already afford med+/high tier cars

Like if it worked fine in pre reset then what is the reason for nearly removing it now

It didn’t work fine prereset. Everyone and their mom had 150 custom cars.

Thats an economy problem, whats the difference if everyone has 150 custom cars or 150 vapid cars?

Eco diff now, people wont be able to afford many cars at all.

 

[Rekty]

i dont understand the FPS argument either as the new car being added is nearly 450k poly.

Rekty We greatly value your thoughts on this topic.

As you can tell we're looking into how we can expand our current car list without breaking the economy and not adding anything too crazy. With our current method of DS threads and voting for cars. Would you say this issue is resolved, or do you still have a concern relating?
