Lack of spawning bikes

[darkwombat]

I know the limits for car spawns and it's hard to get the type you want.

 

I know when you're after an Infernus they are hard to come by, but at least you can get some type of car, and most of the time a fast one too.

 

But I can go for aaaagesss without seeing ANY type of bike. It's just car, car, car, car infinity. ok, when I do finally find one, fine, there's loads to go round. But before then I can waste 15mins, easy, trying to find one. Anyone else find them sparse?....

 

....oh and I know where the bike dealership is but it's not handy when u r at the airport or somewhere miles away.

 

In a patch can you up the bike count when you're spawning vehicles? or whatever you need to do pretty pwees R*??

[tarquin biscuitbarrel]

there's a bike spawn in the airport.

[darkwombat]

where abouts? at times i can find ones in the various car parks, but not during one of the frequent 'bike-droughts'

[--Vega--]

I was trying to do unique jumps and had to wait about an hour (real life time) until I finally found a bike that spawned. That's bullsh*t.

you didn't think to take a taxi ride to the motorbike shop?

 

that would have saved about 59 minutes of your life.

[darkwombat]

taxis aren't much help in MP,

 

and who wants to make an unnecessary trip all across the map just to get a (supposedly) common form of transport.

 

but yeah, if you're in the area, the bike shop is a go-to place. but doesn't solve the lack of free-spawning bikes.

[twosugarsbiatch!]

wheres the bike shop lads, love that scrambler

[_Camo]

In MP all you need to do is take a helicopter from the airport/helitours so that's not a huge problem.

 

I haven't unlocked the 3rd island yet, but the bike shop does come in handy in MP(except when the bikes disappear..)

Just go to the bike shop in Westdyke. Nothing but motorcycles there.

[darkwombat]

Lemhi street in Alderney. but it only has NRGs in, so steal the FF version with the smaller headlight. lack of scramblers saddens me also.

[darkwombat]

@ capricornus, in the quote of me it clearly says i know where the bike shop is.

 

and as the topic title says 'lack of "spawning" bikes' is the problem.

 

spawn ratio (estimate) cars vs bike is like 50:1

 

should be more like 5:1

 

I don't want to have to take a 2min heli ride across LC and then a 5min bike ride back just to do a jump somewhere.

 

plus it don't sell scramblers...

5:1 wtf?

 

that would make 4 taxi's + 1 bus : 1 bike

 

where are the suv's and other vehicles?

 

it's totally realistic if you ask me.

[mahatmahatma]

Yeah, I reckon bikes suck balls in the game anyway, they're just nowhere near as satisfying to drive as the cars. But that's horrendously off topic. The spawn ratio is alright, it's not like motorbikes are anywhere near as popular a form of transport as cars/etc. - plus, there are a few bike spawn points scattered around the map. Check that IGN map...er I don't know the link though

.....in a row of traffic with 10 vehicles (of any sort) there should be, IMO, 2 bikes.

 

but at the moment you can see 40-50 cars without a bike of any kind.

 

bikes are popular too, especially for stunts.

[gtamodder]

Yeah, annoyed me, I wanted to do some jumps (I use the bikes, incase I flip my car over), and it was annoying how it took fuc*ing ages to get the bike.

[darkwombat]

some people will say to travel to a spawn point - which is a fine and valid argument - I just think they should be a heck of a lot easier to find in normal traffic.
