$2000 every time you die in a mission? WTF?

[blk95ta]

so if you do a mission like i just did and failed it, you die twice, so you wasted $4000 on a mission that netted you $0 money and 0 RP. i'm beginning to see how hard it is going to be to make money to buy some of those properties and what not.

 

i understand paying money for medical when you're in free roam, but in a mission or deathmatch?

It's all a part of R*'s ploy to get you to purchase the cash cards, you lose as much money as you make unless you're very careful all the time, even then you'll still be killed by trolls here and there.

I know this is not what you want to hear, but the easy solution to your in-game financial problems is to stop dying. Play smarter.

[CTbeatz]

Bank your money. Im pretty sure of its in you account you wont lose it

[ChromeAndroid]

No you still lose it in the bank. I bank after everything.

[R4ZR0789]

I have died during missions and not experienced any loss of funds. I have put every cent in the bank in order to save for a safe house so I have been walking around broke. This may not work for other players though. Hard to tell this early in the launch.

And 1000$ in freemode, I think..

I've found you can do any of the 1-4 player missions on your own if you play smart, even on hard, just stack up on pistol and shotgun ammo and you're good to go, create a bottleneck and flood the enemies towards you, pistol for long range, shotty for close or when things get lairy.

 

Watch for those that turn up in cars and plan accordingly, if you are getting swamped then fall back, what i would say is don't keep trying, if it's obvious your skill isn't enough then drop it to easy (money still pays out the same only 1/3rd less xp than on hard). It does not pay to keep trying as you will lose more than you make.

Yeah, it still takes money out? I always bank my cash after every robbery, mission and job I do. Noticed that $500 comes out each time I die/get killed. Was okay with that but when you try to join a job/finish a job and it either fails/finishes and boots you back to free mode, players shouldn't be able to kill you. I came back to some f*cktard shooting me in the face, I couldn't prevent myself from dying because I'd been staring at the loading screen. I died, lost $500 and facepalmed, lol.

 

They should do something like WoW, when you teleport somewhere, a buff is placed against you for like 30 seconds. Basically, if a player kills you - you don't take durability damage to your armour and they don't get honour points for killing you. Players who kill people who've just been ported back into free mode GTA Online shouldn't get money for it, nor should that player lose money. It's illogical to punish us over something that we can't control, there is no way to stop yourself from being killed in that situation. :c

 

This stuff kinda makes me just want to play on my own or with my friends rather than with strangers because you are guaranteed to get the random arseholes who spend most of their time killing others (which can be fun when you have a rival, lol) rather than working together to earn cash and rep. I had fun yesterday playing with randoms so I'm not going to let it spoil my fun, I'll just pop into passive mode when I'm travelling from A to B in between missions.

So its only friendly fire ON? So its Call Of Douchebags 5, how is that fun? Sounds like R* learned nothing about the 1000's of complaints about spawn killing cowards, and straight up metal case attitudes of players who just squeeze all the fun out of the game until free roam resembles deathmatch like in freemode GTA 4. That game would still b fun if R* gave a sh*t about the re sale value of their game. Modders need to b dealt with with the same cyber warfare strategies they r using against GTA 4 and the PS3. A new download patch that would include a dormant virus that would only activate if it detected a modding program being intoduced. Identify the modders and ban them from R* games for life and/or from XBOX or PS3 networks for life. or until the spend all their cash getting another PS3 and a new game and account, lesson learned yet?

[blk95ta]

Bank your money. Im pretty sure of its in you account you wont lose it

 

 

wanna bet? i looked at my bank account after failing a mission where i had 2 deaths i had 2 $2000 deductions for bail and medical bills. i kept losing money for no reason last night and now i know why..

[Sticky Pads]

R* did say they will be adjusting the balancing as they see how people play, and based on user feedback, so its entirely possible this will change over time. I can't really say if I like it or not, though, since I haven't been able to get on EVEN ONCE!
