Salutations everybody! Did you miss me? I sure did miss you loyal UG fans! But do not worry because I came prepared with a lot of New Year presents! Let us not talk around the hot mush (German saying) and let's get right to the city fixes! 1. Fixed the collision of the very famous mall in Belleville Park 2. Fixed the collision placement of the airport towers in LC 3. Fixed the texture mapping of the LC airport terminal roof 4. Fixed collision problems with the roof near the safehouse 5. Fixed some backface culling issues with a VC hotel in Little Havanna 6. Fixed the garage door collision of a LCS safehouse at the Portland construction site Alright this is it for now then fellas. Take care and stay tuned!

While I wouldn't mind getting an Arena War 2: Mad Max Boogaloo update as a filler, they should at least try to fix some of the most glaring issues with the original Arena War update: - Balancing issues, the Deathbike is OP while vehicles like the Bruiser, the Slamvan, the Scarab and the Brute are nearly useless. - Better payouts, although that's not an Arena War exclusive issue. - Chill the f*ck out with the Arena Sponsorship progression system, it shouldn't take you an eternity to reach level 1,000 just to unlock a sh*tty rusty tractor. - Also chill the f*ck out with the trade prices. Vehicles having trade prices makes sense. Customization options having trade prices makes slightly less sense. 90% of the clothing in the DLC having trade prices makes absolutely zero sense. - Add colored headlights to LSC, Benny's, Office Garages and MOC/Avenger Workshops. Keep their trade prices for all I care, but don't put something as trivial as that behind a paywall. - New Arena War modes and more maps for the older ones, R* could even rip off themselves and add Arena War versions of older Adversary Modes, like Deadline, Sumo or Vehicle Vendetta, I dunno. Just my $0.02

Speaking of Arena War, Rockstar added a tunable variable with the casino update that allow them to offer double/triple arena points, but it's still not used. It's been like 5 months since the casino update, I guess they don't care much about the Arena modes?

As one of the 7 people who actually enjoyed Arena Wars, I'd quite like AW II as a filler update.

So I drove around in single-player, and found the original versions of the arcade locations - and it's a mixed bag. On the one hand, you've got stuff that probably wasn't going to be used for anything else - the "Fruit of the Vine" wine shop, for example, which is now "Insert Coin" (and the site description actually references the old wine shop, which is a nice touch). And "Eight-Bit" does the same, but even more - the description mentions the old "Vinewood Records" from single-player (although not the adjacent pet shop, which also got swallowed up to make the arcade), but if you look at the record/pet shops in single-player, they're actually boarded up, with 'going out of business sale' posters up. Makes sense to convert that into a new business, at least! ...but then you've got the retconned stuff, like how "Wonderama" supposedly dates back to at least the '80s, despite having a supermarket there in 2013, "Videogeddon" was apparently "a hive of heavy metal gamers" (not a generic warehouse with "744" on the front), and again, "Pixel Pete's" just erases Helmut's European Autos from existence. And while the Warehouse one does mention how it used to be the "Auto Fix Factory", that doesn't entirely gel with the fact that it can still serve as an Import/Export garage (and lol at the idea of destroying SecuroServ signal jammers for Lester while working out of one end of the building, while running an Import/Export operation for SecuroServ just metres away at the other... ). Ahh, Rockstar - consistently inconsistent...

I've been thinking about how Rockstar went about business sales and personally I think they got the wrong idea. I think business sales should be a mix between Hunt The Beast and Import/Export. For example instead of business sales giving a giant red icon on the map and sending a mass text message to all players going "X is selling product, go kill them", I think it should be the direct opposite. Sale vehicles should actually be off the radar. Random players can still gets texts alerting them of a sale but it read more along the lines of "X is selling product. Keep a watchful eye for anything unusual and hunt them down." This would create more of a cat and mouse, hide and seek game that would be a lot fun in free roam. A sale vehicle can maybe have a periodic ping every minute or so to point players in your general direction, so the seller has to keep moving and running. Kinda similar to how Hunt The Beast works where they ping every time a check mark is found. It'd also be interesting if you could steal product rather then just destroy it. Lets say a crew is doing a full Crate Sale, usually 4 vehicles. Imagine if you could find one of their drivers, kill them and jack the truck for yourself, drive it back to your own warehouse and instant gain 1/4 worth of stock. It'd give people incentive to come after you, but maybe not resort to blowing you up right away. Overall I think sales could of been handled better. I can't blame people for glitching into solo lobbies or only selling in lobbies they trust, business sales as are is broken. It's to 1 sided toward the tryhard and squeeker griefers without giving the seller a fair advantage.

And that's exactly why i love it, i wish it lasted the entire season. For a guy like me who typically cruise around on and offroad, i love it. Not mentionning nights are actually dark when its snowing. Which, since its the BnM thread ill take the Opportunity to say, i Always hated how nights are always so bright, even in the middle of nowere with no artificial light….

My initial thoughts about the next DLC is that it's 80% related to Open Wheel races. We have the Open Wheel races as part of the Diamond Casino Heist update, but there's no creator for it. The formula cars are disabled from the Creator mode. When Rockstar release them with their own races, we won't see them in the Creator mode. Not to mention, that they have their own vehicle class in the creator, which as of now consist of two cars. It just seem obvious to me, that the next update is a Creator update which will feature more formula cars and allow us to create our own Open Wheel races. There's probably a cost to enter and a big reward for winning the race. Remember Import/Export update? It had mentions of Special Vehicle Races in the files. In fact, it had tunable variables for it, but Rockstar kept it and made a whole DLC about it. I think the same thing is happening here.

They can't get together in a conference room like that. Someone might come up with a good idea and they would get thrown out a window, like in that meme cartoon.

We can form a coalition, just like the Issi Sport crowd did. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. I mean come on, the Issi Sport only has 4 pages in its appreciation thread. Should a potential temporary truce fall apart, we need a back up plan and I think a coalition of both Gauntlet Classic and Gauntlet Hellfire supporters could be our ticket to victory. 1.

Getting into on call jobs is seriously becoming a difficult task, by difficult I mean the game makes it difficult because the matchmaking system is still being run on a 2004 I3 Potato I just want something to do besides being in free-mode and when my friends aren't playing or online. No it isn't my connection before someone comes in and questions me neither is it targeting preference. Despite probably over 1000's doing it, the matchmaking system can't even match me to the f*cking latest jobs despite people definitely being in a lobby waiting for someone to join. If this isn't saying how crap the match-making system is then I don't know what will 10 minutes later the other day and I still wasn't in a job, I gave up because what hope did I even have that the next 10 minutes I was going to be put into a lobby? But no we have plenty of rigged races & deathmatches available! As if I'd waste my time doing either of those two. Give me something storyline based and that has a purpose before giving me this crap.

I'm not sure if anyone caught this stuff before the New Austin Glitch on consoles was patched, but i decided to put together a journal entry comparison video for Arthur & John in New Austin.

Several, in fact, we only got two 80's styled F1 cars after all. Modern F1 car Formula E car IndyCar And don't forget the best of all of them, the Go-Kart

I won't kill the regular Paragon R because I still don't understand how the armored version is the more popular of the two.

If we don't get a significant patch on Tuesday I think I am pretty much done with this game at least until we do perhaps even until we get the next Content update. The game is literally unplayable at the moment, everything bogs down when I try and launch any type of mission like a Bounty Hunt so I am locked out of shops, Post Office etc, trying to load a new session gives me an infinite load screen, resetting the game sometimes does not work so I need to reset my Xbox, I sometimes get CTD's, the game won't even load and gets an infinite loading screen on the initial loading screen, the game will CTD on the initial loading screen, I have lost more money than I have made from batches of Moonshine just vanishing and Maggie and Marcel just wont load at all so that makes doing Moonshine missions or sales impossible. That's just to name a few, I could sit and type out issues all day but hey, at least the Gold shop and Outlaw Pass work right!? Not to mention three or four weeks with NOTHING added at all. No warning, no hiatus warning issued, no nothing. Its quite obvious that it was planned seeing as the Moonshiner dripfeed is a fraction of what we got last time to compensate for the empty weeks. A notice would have been appreciated.

Don't worry, the snow will soon be gone and you & your character will be able to enjoy 350+ days of shirtless frivolity without embarrassment. Personally, I'm going miss snow ball fights in my undies.

I mean, as @Pedinhuh mentioned, almost literally no one steals I/E cargo, they blow it up instead while having the nerve of claiming that "the game told them to". Even if you could steal all types of cargo from other players, unless there's no deterrent at all for destroying it instead of stealing it (like getting Bad Sport points), then people wouldn't bother with the later. After all, spamming missiles from the safety of your crutchbike is way easier than actually planning an ambush and engaging a player with bullets. Either that or just outright making cargo indestructible like on Business Battles, but Rock$tar wouldn't like that.

Holy f*cking sh*t, can my guy stop constantly picking up snowballs? I want to use my sticky bomb, but my f*cking downie character keeps going down for some snow cum as if he’s going to participate in a snowball fight. Sure, let’s bring a snowball to a gunfight. Stupid f*cking game. For the love of all that’s holy, REMOVE THE f*ckING CUMSHOT SNOW! I can barely even see what the f*ck is in the sky anymore.

I rather have GTA6 come out before Bully 2.

Yes, I don't think Rockstar is gonna skip March without a new update this time. A creator update is always perfect as Spring update.

My Gauntlet's taking hits, I gotta fight back, lol. It may not be the war I want, but it's the one we got, lol. I don't mind the Issi myself, though I am much more a classic Mini Cooper fan more than the modern versions as I feel they're just so big for a 'mini' IMHO. But I love my muscle cars too much, and I'd like them to charge on through to victory so gonna do my bit too. CS: 1. Annis S80RR - 36 2. Enus Paragon R - 7 3. Enus Paragon R (Armored) - 46 4.

Ran into this fella, during a Moonshiner story mission. Meaner than cat piss... An aggressive black bear.

Not clocked up a lot of miles in the Jag yet, trying to keep it out of the salt as much as possible. Cant remember what i have said about it before so i'll write a little bit about it, I'm going to show it at some vintage and classic car rallies around the country in the summer so i've been looking into the history as I need to write a "window card" for it. Its a '94 XJ, one of the very first of the X300 line. Originally owned by Sir Matthew Goodwin, founder of Hewden plant hire, and former chairman of Goodwin charitable trust. I bought it last year from a Jaguar enthusiast (he also had an XK 5.0 and a XJ 4.0). It is a XJ6 Sovereign and had done 52,000 miles in its 25 years. The sovereign spec is VERY comfortable, driving it isnt just like sitting in an armchair, its like sitting in an armchair in a top class cigar club. It is in excellent condition, well looked after and frankly, I think its bloody brilliant. The straight six is one of Jags finest and this is probably the last of the classic XJs, the later x308 and x350 introduced V8 engines.
