Community Update (January 7th, 2024)
This update brings new content, new features, bug fixes and various map improvements.
Update Highlights
Just like our last update post, we've compiled a list of highlights so you don't have to read through the long list below π
β Improved: Meet Zones
We've gone through and added over 40+ new meet zones around the map, bringing the total past the 100 mark!
We've also added some quality-of-life improvements to them that should hopefully inform new players on what to do when they're in one.
The actual number of active zones in-game will depend on the daily zone rotation, which ensures that only 50% of the total zone pool is available to be used at a time. This makes the number of active meet zones to be around the ~50 mark now, which is still a lot more compared to before!
β¨ New Feature: Party Zone Instances
Got a party and want to "claim" a zone for you and your members? Well, you can do that now. Starting with this update, entering a zone as a member of a party will automatically put you and your other party members into your own instance.
This feature enables more effective party moderation as kicking/banning members out of the party will also remove them from your party's zone instance. This instance does not affect players outside of the party, as they'll be put into a different instance. Members of other parties will be put into a different instance with their own party, allowing multiple parties to occupy the same zone without interfering with each other.
Banning party members should be a last resort for repeat offenders, as kicking them will have actual consequences now that prevents them from interacting with you and your members.
Any players outside of the party will need to join the party to be put into the same zone instance as you.
π Improved: Party Cruises
We've added even more quality-of-life improvements, but this time to the "Cruise" party mode.
When players get too close to the party leader and their speed starts to get limited, a notification will be displayed with a camera effect that focuses on the leader. This makes it more obvious that it's a cruise rather than your speed randomly slowing down with no indication as to why.
π Location Upgrade: Los Santos Customs
The Los Santos Customs in West Vinewood has received an overhaul, featuring a whole new garage, shop and... another thing that you'll eventually find out π
π΄ Location Upgrade: Utopia Gardens
