Once a Psycho, always a Psycho

[The Byzantine Empire]

 

 

I have a very normal mental state despite I kill civilians and other players. I only take warning notes about being psyco but my mental state doesn't increase.

 

Why I am not a Psyco?

You're not getting enough trevor

I killed ten officers and civilians at the same time but my character is still normal lol

Yep. It will tell you that your actions are the type that will raise the mental state bar towards psycho, but it takes a LOT of killing, and not over a long period of time. I went on a full rampage slaughter to get psycho and it took 10-15 minutes of circling the city in a Buzzard and killing lots of cops.

 

The people complaining make it sound like you run over a pedestrian and suddenly your blip is red and the whole session turns against you. It is simply not true. This forum has turned into Fox News.

 

Just act normal - killing here and there - and it won't affect you, just like you won't go into Bad Sport for blowing up the odd PV here and there.

 

 

Incidentally, I read your posts and I'm all like...

 

 

 

and then I see your name and I'm like...

I love it, being psycho and hanging out on my favorite rooftop with my heavy sniper...the noobs just keep on coming.

What rooftop?

 

The one right in front of the most expensive apt building. It's right next to a very tall and yellow construction crane.

just one of the many many things R* didn't seem to have thought trough before implementing.

 

shame really so much potential

I was just in a big ass crew battle for about 30 min. I was red the whole time. I just did a rr,coveted and a LSC mission now I'm white. Missions is a big part of bringing down your meter.

If you kill a person with a high mental state (like unstable or psycho) it will not go up. If you kill someone who does not have a high mental state (normal) it will go up.

The guys at Rockstar could have developed for whatever "reason", you can all argue that. However, what wasn't planned, is how we the gamers, are using the Mental State feature.

 

Just about everyone see's a player blip that's red, or almost red, and hunts them down, probably because it'll be "fun". Now the guy being hunted, has no choice but to kill the dude hunting him, thus furthering his "mental state".

 

Also, because Rockstar have made it that you get an EXP bonus (I think that's right? Or is it a cash bonus or something?), it's an incentive to some, to hunt them..

 

So.... Yeah.

The way it has been for me, every time I get full mental state from just normal forced violence, I could always go up to another red blip player and about half the time we treat each other like family or a crew and team up on non-psychos. Its like respect for what we both are and its easy to locate each other on the map, kinda like rdr. The thing is outa nowhere we both get reset. It never lasts long for me because of that, I didn't even do a job, die, or anything. just looked down and i was full white again.

 

The way people see this system is that it shows everyone what they are and they take advantage of it, one way or another, and we dont see it and say " oh I dont wanna be red, better not do what I would like to otherwise". Also because of the easy resetting, you still cant trust "sane" players because they might have just got their state reset somehow just then.

Start -> Online -> Jobs -> Host -> pick a job.

 

That's an option, which makes 2 options, which makes a choice.

That's funny, but no-one said you have to be American as well.

Everyone is complaining so much about Mental state, well I love it. It gives me the opportunity to know who I can trust and who I need to act aggressive to before they get close.

 

I have killed NPC and a mafia turf war and I'm only slightly red, but I lost it after about 3 hours.
