Sorry if this is a silly question but how do you make the background of an Emblem transparent?

[Doc Rikowski]

But win percentage only accounts to feuds and it's impossible to trigger a feud on your own. Or are you not talking about the win % on the Crew page?

I guess you are right.

Always thought Win PCT was games won and games lost...

[meta187]

 

So if the enemy crew seems too strong, it's best to stay and try to win the current feud.

Yea, def finish up a feud once it starts or it's an automatic win for the other Crew once you leave. However, within a match a feud can start 2 or 3 times before the end. If someone has more people and is better cooridinated in their efforts and hands you your ass the first time around that might be a good time to leave before a 2nd and 3rd feud can start up, potentilly adding to your losses.

 

Feud Ratio W/L is the top stat posted on the header of every Crew homepage.

Just looked over the full updated leader board from last week's event, and looks like my final spot is #20 http://bit.ly/KYQ1RX

When you go to the background color, click on the square with the red dash in the middle

Where's background colour?

 

Edit: Found it

 

Instead of wasting a post I might aswell ask another question. Is there a limit on the level on which you can compete in soft lock matches like the limit that's placed on rookie matches? Last night me and my friend were playing Team Deathmatch and a level 33 was playing with a load of guys who were level sixes and sevens. Even when we got the drop on him his loadout made him very hard to kill and as a result he pretty much had an open playing field to dominate everybody and set up assists for his lower level team mates (if you managed to get away from him). I'm not complaining because it was actually kinda funny how easy he was killing people.. just wondering since this could potentially cause a lot of grievences to some gamers.

There isn't a level limit on soft-lock which I think is stupid because people who play free-aim are arguablly more skilled, plus I hate soft lock and I have to play it every morning because everyone else likes soft-lock but me.

I think it's kinda stupid too. Soft lock is more realistic (because in a real firefight your not gonna struggle to find your target.. it should be instinctive) but there should be a cap on levels. The game should only put people in teams with and against players who are ten levels above or below them imo. In most games levels isn't an issue except for access to weapons but where higher loadout weights and access to body armour come with those levels it's silly to put people in matches with 20+ levels above them. I personally wouldn't take much pleasure in killing sombody 25 levels below me but I guess people are different. If I was to get Freudian about I would say it has something to do with the size of their penis but in realistic terms I would say it's just an oversight on Rockstar's part (quite a big one at that).

[DEFR0B0T]

Body armour doesn't do anything btw, its dead weight.

Exactly right.

 

Body Armor is just about useless regardless of class, they need to fix that.

 

Also the best weapons are not the ones you get at level 40 strangely enough. The Mini 30 is easily the most accurate and damaging of the assault rifle, the Dual MAC 10 is the best SMG combo and the M500 at close range is comparable to the Super Sport save that the Sport has better range.

 

The Crew is 3 Feud wins from being 2.0 on our overall Feud AVG at the moment. Hopefully we can get some people to Crew up and play together this evening.

 

EDIT: The crew is now 4 kills over 2.0 on Feuds.

It would be cool if we organised an official crew event with the aim of getting as many people as possible on playing at the one time. We could have 4 or 5 different teams for each console and just have them alternate between large team deathmatches and gang wars. It would really boost crew XP and the feud wins percentage.

[meta187]

Not a bad idea at all.

 

I guess we'd need the private match option for that? Or would that cancel out EXP earned?

 

Anyone for getting the ball rolling on that? I suppose the 1st thing we'd need is a sort of registration topic, then we'd need to set up a date, then the categories of the games that would be played etc.

Not necessarily. If we assigned people teams then one person would simply just need to friend the other members of his team and add them to their party. Teams of 8 people would then automatically stay together through the different game modes (provided an opponent doesn't get scared off by seeing that theyre up against 8 guys from the same crew and drop out making the teams uneven and causing one of our players to go onto the opposing team). If this were to happen then it wouldnt be the end of the world though since any xp earned by that player would still go towards the crew.

 

We could organise it in this topic or create a new topic in the events section which would probably be more suitable. We would have to organise a time and date to suit everyone though. Despite proposing the idea I wouldn't really have the time to set it up so somebody else would have to volunteer to do it.

 

Also would we need to organise the teams based on fee aim and soft lock players or just have it be all soft lock or all free aim or vice versa? I for one am terrible at free aim and I'm sure I'm not alone.

The highest I've placed so far is 2nd. I find when you're the top scoring player people tend to just all focus their attention on hunting you down rather than targetting each other to get their kill count up. Today I had two players actually running beside each other as if to be looking for me. I popped out of cover and fired off a shot and they hunted me down like a dog til I was dead.. It was fun though

Runnings in groups or packs is usually a pretty good idea, we've seen it and done it a million times. I'm down for organizing an event, we just have to hope that it doesn't take an hour to get into one freakn game. U get more than 3 people in a party and ur almost guarnteed to have issues. Id be willing to bet that 1/4 of all my time spent on MP3 was in one loading screen or another. Plus I don't think I've ever seen more than maybe 12 of us online. Hey Meta, have we ever actually managed to get an 8 person crew through a whole game without someone getting auto-swapped? I don't believe we have. You what we should do is organize a mass complaint to R* about all these connection issues, cuz its really getting old. If GTA V is even half as bad as MP3 when it comes to this I think R* is going to have riots outside their offices... ZEE will be furious.

It's true.. the multiplayer is extremely buggy.. even more so than RDR.. you'd think they would have learned from that. Red Dead Redemption took quite a while to have all of it's buggs eliminated and I'd expect this game to be no different. The frequent glitches and endless loading screens could cause quite a few problems now that you mention it.

 

And by the way I finally managed to win the Deathmatch Challenge trophy... even before I discovered the dual wielded SMG exploit which may I say is getting to be pretty rediculous the more people get to know of it.

As I have said loads of times before dual pistols beat dual SMGs every damn time.

As I have said loads of times before dual pistols beat dual SMGs every damn time.

Pistols are a lot harder to get to dual wield status and generally just don't rank up that fast plus they require you to keep tapping the fire button to fire off shots (except for the Auto 9mm afaik). In one of my loadouts I have two M10s with varying accessories (rank 9 so I have a pick of them) and if you come at somebody from behind then it's a guaranteed kills in about two seconds. If you face them head on and start firing first then it's a guaranteed kill too (most people don't stand a chance). Shotgun's can be a bit of a problem if the opponent is close to you but if you are a medium distance away from them they also don't stand a chance. If somebody is dual wielding pistols, even Bulls (DE aren't really an issue since so few people have them) then chances are I can kill them before they kill me. I'd say it's about a 60-70% chance to be honest. Usually people haven't got the Bull ranked up high enough to have two either though.

 

In order to get my M10s ranked up I played Payne Killer with a M10 and M972 dual wield set up. When you kill Max as you know you can wield two M10s. A combination of killing Max and killing other players as Max I shot up the levels pretty quick. I even got the LMG up to rank 5 and I don't even own it yet

 

After I had the M10s up to a decent level I switched to the PT92 (which is just as good of a pairing with the M972 as the M10 imo). The great thing about pistols is that when you pair them with an SMG you simply just hold the fire button and both guns will fire continously. It's also a good way to rank up the pistols since it means that you actually stand a chance against others.

Hey Meta, have we ever actually managed to get an 8 person crew through a whole game without someone getting auto-swapped? I don't believe we have.

I think the difficulty there is that requires you to have essentially have a full lobby (or at a minimum seven players on the opposing team), which as we've all seen, is pretty damn hard to come by, especially when all of us go into a lobby sporting the GTAF tag and then everyone bails (pussies).

 

Oh, and some official news from R* with regards to cheating can be found here.

[meta187]

Nice turnout at the Rock* event today.

 

Also, for the viewers here at home, we just hit World Rank 34. Things are going well.

 

Thought this was a bit coincidental.

I'm using the SAF. 40 at the moment with a few attachments.

I've gotten good with it, but I can't find any other guns I'm good with.

Does anyone have a suggestion for another gun I should use? I'm looking for something that's good at close-mid range, accurate, and does some damage. I'm at rank 35 by the way.

I got the M.10, it works great. I used it a few times on Branco HQ, and I noticed a huge difference in damage.

I'm going to use dual for close combat, and single for mid-range combat. I'll still keep the SAF. 40 as my primary, and use it as a back up weapon.

The only complaint I have is every time I respawn, I have to open the weapon wheel to switch. Too bad there isn't a feature that lets you pick a weapon you want every time you respawn (selections from the weapon wheel).

Thanks for your recommendation.
