The judge payphone hit

[Zaxx]

Rockstar, I don't know how can a mission be this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ badly designed.

- I never know which ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hole it is, it's never where the sign says, how about adding a blimp to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ map?

- By the time I get the "place the bomb" thing pop up and place the bomb I always get noticed even if the ♥♥♥♥♥ is ages away from the hole.

How can they ♥♥♥♥ up something this simple?

[in]

That's kinda obvious which hole is correct. Just look at the lighter green grass and follow it if you can't see from get go.

I dunno, it's not obvious to me, I got the mission like 5 times (because of course the RNG's bad too) and it was never my first choice.

And how do you not get noticed? Whenever I plant the bomb she just starts screaming and the guards attack. So amateurish mission design, like you don't even understand what is happening and why (which is most bad missions in GTAO because it's being made by the D team at Rockstar but still).

[in]

You plant the bomb in the hole that she's gonna hit to, which is far away and they can't see. Maybe you are placing sticky bomb next to npcs or whatever lol. You must press E at the correct hole.

[Bad Harmony]

I got it too, it was easy and nothing went wrong.

"Kill the judge by planting a bomb on hole 3"

I just double checked the right hole and rushed to plant it before she would reach it. Triggered it when she got close. Pissy easy.

I failed the objective the first time when it was bomb in the hole. Yeah, it was not clear for me what to do exactly.

But the next time the judge on the golf course hit spawned, the requirement was to just use the golf club. So maybe there is an easier way to get the bonus on this one...?

Got it again and the button prompt to place the bomb just didn't show up until she was too close again. :D Man, they should really test their stuff more before they are releasing it, I guess I'm just the unlucky bastard who gets all the bugs again.

And especially these button prompts, like man, who was the incompetent one who programmed these things? They are so fiddly in every single instance, like you just stand there and it doesn't trigger, then you walk a bit back and approach again and it triggers, it's embarrassignly bad. It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ button prompt, Rockstar, surely you can program a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ button prompt so that it works you ♥♥♥♥♥.

Well they can't fix error between keyboard and chair. Haven't seen anyone struggling with this specific mission so far.

There are 3 scenarios. Place bomb, run her over with caddy or beat her up. You get them randomly.

AMEN
Gamer's need to realize this ain't the 90's no more, most Games today are created by People that will NEVER EVER play them. The Producers have always been out of the loop and just money guys (that goes both ways, they put up the money to create this stuff, they get a payday). But now the Developers are not Gamer's either.
When somebody does not consider themselves part of a community, there becomes a very fine line in between serving a community, or trying to exploit it and profit from it.
I don't really need to type anymore do I ??

Yeah well I just played the Data Contract and since the last update the game is spawning in BOATS at the section where you have to defend Avi. You know, boats at a part that does take place near the docks but you get attacked exclusively on land so I spent 20 minutes there figuring out what the hell is happening when after killing everyone the mission just didn't end. Explored the entirety of the the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dock area and yep, found two boats 300 meters from the area that you're supposed to defend, oh what a threat those posed. :D

Now this tells you two things:

- The attacks isn't entirely scripted so they can jank up.
- There is no failsafe programmed into the mission if something janks up. You know, a good developer makes sure to for example despawn those boats after a certain amount of time so the player won't even notice the issue and thinks that everything went smoothly even though the game accidentally spawned in a few dinghies before.

Stuff like this is very common in GTA Online, hell button prompts not working correctly is very common in GTAO. So you know, to some extent I get the simping but there are certain situations where that comes off as ridiculous. GTAO is exactly that.

A lot of that was a bunch of weirdness I don't agree with but you have a point: the people who are working on this game definitely aren't actively playing it.

Data contract is a different mission. And yes, that one does have glitched NPCs now.

Why do I even bother ....

Okay so if that has glitched NPCs now (because you know, Rockstar's QA sucks harder than their remasters) then you really wouldn't need a lot of logic to think instead of acting like garbage and insulting me just because I happen to have issues with a mission.
