Unpopular Take

Discussion

Oppressor MKII complainers are either 1) inept and poor low levels that have no clue or 2) tryhard jet griefers that care little about doing missions/jobs/heits/events/etc. and want to dominate the lobbies.

Do you even play GTAO? It seems you’ve gotten this take from an outsiders perspective looking in. You don’t seriously think that right?

99% of MKll complainers are from peaceful players that keep getting griefed whilst driving around in their WEAPONLESS vehicle or they are doing missions to earn money. It has nothing to do with being a low level, and it has everything to do with the way you chose to play the game. I’m level 307 and I’ve constantly been killed by oppressors just because I decide to not buy the weaponised vehicles and engage in pvp.

Tbf a lot of people complain about being killed while they’re not even doing anything important. If you’re not running a sell mission or transporting something, then you’re basically an NPC

level 667 with $850 million legit in the bank.

driving around in their WEAPONLESS vehicle

you're a clown. this is a game about crime and violence including WEAPONS. go play a disney game if you want peace and love. seriously.

I’m level 307 and I’ve constantly been killed by oppressors just because I decide to not buy the weaponised vehicles and engage in pvp.

wow, you're stupid. you just make it harder for yourself. bravo! and you have some silly idea that you are morally superior to others. grow up.

Level 667 yet you're sitting here trying to make it about the individual rather than game balance - as if you genuinely think 'its in the game lol' is a valid argument lmao

malmnOP•

game balance? how is nerfing the mk2 and giving the jets free reign "balancing the game"? come on now! let's get serious.

DyLaNzZpRo•

Jets can be countered by an ordinary heavy sniper, explosive rounds ruin them basically instantly and there's no counter for explosive rounds when in a jet (beyond approaching from the height limit lol), additionally, the Lazer+Hydra are far worse than various other planes at dogfighting.

The biggest difference is that jets take some degree of skill to use, you can't just get in one and mindlessly press the fire button for free kills like you can with a MK2 - additionally this you can't spawn a jet right beside you.

The MK2 has no hard counter barring explosive rounds which on PC is fine, but it's annoying as fuck needing to run e-rounds because nothing else barring maybe someone back to back spamming jets actually requires.

Regardless, 'but what about jets' doesn't change the fact the MK2 is both one of few vehicles with more than 1 viable counter and one of the easiest to use - but no means am I saying death beam jets shouldn't also be nerfed however.

You’ve just responded and basically said nothing besides insult me.. I literally disagree with your obvious unpopular opinion and you insult me. Wow.

Like you’ve said, you’re rank 600 and have 800 million in the bank so it’s quite obvious why you don’t have any sympathy for the newer players who constantly get griefed. You’ve literally got everything and done everything in the game and don’t need to work or grind.

Also the game is about violence yes that is true, but the game isn’t primarily about pvp. I don’t think I’m superior than anyone at all, where do you get that from?

LOL! I told you to go play a Disney game if you don't like GTAO, a game with WEAPONS, crime and violence. I'm not trying to insult you. I'm trying to help/guide you.

I don’t think I’m superior than anyone at all, where do you get that from?

LOL

you don’t have any sympathy for the newer players who constantly get griefed.

I was one of those low levels. Then I learned how to play the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now i've got a 2.07 k/d from getting revenge on all the assholes that have tried to grief me. LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME!!!!!!

Samoanspikes:XBX1::XBX2:•

I think you’ve read me wrong lol, I do like the violence and even the occasional PvP when it is BALANCED. I love PvP with snipers and ARs.

You do realise that GTAO isn’t primarily about PvP right? The main goal of GTAO is to earn money, and you literally lose money when you engage in PvP in free roam.

Your problem is that you play GTAO a specific way, which is neither the right or wrong way, it’s just preference. But you can’t seriously say that anyone that doesn’t like being griefed when they chose to play a different way are either a noob or a jet griefer.

If anyone here is acting superior it is you because you have already told how much money you have and your fairly high K/D.

At this point you’re basically a try hard that’s trying to justify killing low levels. “Learn to play the game” so what you’re going to kill all the low levels until they figure out how to play the game? You don’t even need to learn how to play the game to grief people with the mk2.

you do understand that most gtao players do not want to engage in dogfights, right? and how/why are jets/dogfights not ruining PVP as well? your take seems hypocritical to me.

True, jet strafers are the og mk2s. But then the real PvPers got explosive rounds and made them their b-.

explosive snipers are not convenient at all. plus they are expensive. it is NOT a good solution to jet griefers. not at all.

DingoUpstairs2144:XB11::XB12: 🎮•

In what sense is it not a good solution to jet griefers? You can literally take them down in two shots and if you place yourself in a good spot, they can’t kill you while you’re shooting them.

Yes, e rounds are expensive which prevents everyone using them in standard free mode PvP which would majorly throw the balance but considering you have 800m+, you should have the weapon locker unlocked on everywhere you can to make it more convenient and also not have to worry about refilling sniper ammo for 30k

I haven’t used mine in over a year and a half I use sparrow mostly these days it’s faster slightly too

it is faster in a straight line. however it is not more convenient or as useful. plus it blows up when the wind blows to strong.

It’s actually very convenient it has unlimited missiles and spawns rights next to you very useful on Cayo prep missions and whatever else you are doing

I’d say a lot of complaints about the mk2 are valid, mainly because the main counter to a mk2 is a mk2 (not to say there isn’t other very specific counters) which just devolves into a giant mess.

If their was an equally god tier vehicle / weapon that could easily beat the mk2, I doubt there would be as much complaints.

Example: if you could do sell missions with an Imani Tech vehicle, this would prevent the majority of grinders complaining about the mk2 spam as the vast amount of mk2 users, solely rely on their god tier missles.

Personally, mk2 users don’t bother me. I know how to counter them and I know I can always hop on my mk2 to kill them while flying upside down.

Or just regular guys that can tell the MK2 locking system is absurdly overpowered.
