Much prefer invite only for free roaming. You can choose who you play with and in turn have a hell of a lot more fun.

I agree. Just didn't have anyone on at the moment, and can only do but so much on my own. Would've taken some time in a solo session if I could've chosen that amid the chaos.

I know what you mean OP.

This game is full of attention seeking assholes that need to satisfy themselves by ruining the fun of others, because they couldn't prove themselves to their parents. Picking off random people in Free Mode isn't what Free Mode is really for. That's called being a dick.

What's the point in driving across the map just to blow someone up who is minding their own business? Says a lot about the kind of person you are.

[shrills]

Yeah. Avoid titling your threads with stuff like:

 

"OMG look at this!"

 

"Wtf is going on right now?"

 

"Dude your never gonna believe this"

 

All of those are just big signs saying "come, please troll me. I'd appreciate it if you did."

I'll be sure to do that. I'll make a general topic and some aggressive posts will appear and I'm just like geez, alright. Haha. But everyone has their own way of dealing, so.

Very much agree. Usually I'm not fazed because they're like 13, and I'm like how do you even have this game right now? So I'll just let it be. But when it gets to the point where literally you either get embarrassed or have to figure out some quick escape I get put off by people on free mode.

 

 

 

I kill people who continually come back near me

I mean it was multiple people against just me, so I felt like I should just get out instead of bother trying. I'm not even good shooting it out with one, ha.

Did you run out of ammo? I run out of ammo and always forget to buy some

 

Hell yes. I had a bit of my shotgun remaining and my sniper lmfao I tried to snipe from up close and that was beyond tragic and embarrassing.

I sometime use my ap pistol and assault shotgun as a last resort, but they're usually to far away for it to have any effect on them

Still trying with a pistol is good effort alone. When I just have to try and scurry I feel a lot more displaced than trying will less potent firearms.

[Pusher87]

Situations like these are where an air strike would make me smile. Ive been trolled like that before and all i needed was a few seconds to make a call to lester before everyone, myself included went BOOM! They weren't laughing so much after that and even called me a hacker. I loled

It's a public lobby. People can do whatever they want. Try invite only.

Except they can't, or shouldn't. No.

this makes me sad. Free Roam is lawless. players CAN and SHOULD do whatever they want.

here's a small tip for counter troll prior exiting apt after spawning :

~ require a rifle , MG , sticky bombs , explosive heavy weapon , AP pistol / micro SMG (silenced) , sniper & assault shotgun are recommended

~ perhaps u need civilian appearance vehicle for improve ur '' off radar '' skill lester . maybe cheval surge with internal mods ( armor , engine & bulletproof tires ) should help , as eletric vehicle it's impossible for surge blown off with bullets or fire but kill battery doing it so . this extremely useful if someone who encounter tank but ineffective aganist fighter jets , also surge is inexpensive vehicle

~ if u have civilian vehicle and try approach target , make sure once on way to them . immediately activate off radar and be quickly assassinate ur target . the weakness this invisibility is only visible if u get caught ( as ur name will shown )

 

 

And before I get a ton of people going down on me, I'm not criticising their English - it's clearly not their native tongue and I fully appreciate the work they've put into making it as understandable as possible (and I do understand it.)

 

My confusion is about the fact that it's got absolutely f*ck all to do with the thread topic. We're talking about ways to deal with being gang banged by people who continue to go at you even when you're passive, but that was about attacking them instead.

 

So again.... wat?

I mean I think there should just be different lobbies for different types of gamers. Then none of this would even be a controversy. Sometimes I just don't want to be bothered, but then when a crew of people bother you then that's kind of infringing upon the rights of others to play the game how they want to play it and it's just ruining the overall experience. Never necessary to abuse freedom.

Lol if you read the big font at the top I think that clearly points out what he was getting at, hence the relevance to the topic.

[shrills]

Try my crew as well, yo. It's a chill crew. Most are racers though, so I'm part of the "mission-only" minority.

I will. Just need to know what the crews are called. Those are useful to me because I'm attempting to better my racing, and it's getting kinda rough with the dirty racers going cray all over the road. I'm always available for missions.

[OGCFB]

I still don't understand why switching to a different character via d-pad to leave the session is not a good enough defense. Any counter-arguments or thoughts?

[shrills]

I feel your pain, I used to get in situations like this before. All you can do is leave, and work at becoming better at the game. Use your minimap, plan your escape route, seek higher ground (ladders are your friends), get out of sight before they can kill you. Once on a rooftop or a secluded location it's easier to set up a working defense (stickies at the entrance points, etc.).

 

Like I said, I used to get in situations like this, but rarely do anymore. Usually I'm able to retaliate and scare them off, but if they are too good or too many for me I'm always able to get away. So until you're able to give them sufficient resistance swallow your pride and run.

 

To quote Marcellus Wallace: "On the night of the fight you'll feel a small sting. That's pride [email protected] with you. [email protected] Pride!"

That quote did justice to what I was seeking. I need to better shooting I think. I've just kind of let those skills go down the drain.

I still don't understand why switching to a different character via d-pad to leave the session is not a good enough defense. Any counter-arguments or thoughts?

That is. Didn't think of that during the moment, but it's good to keep in mind for any quick exit.

[shrills]

were you in a free aim lobby btw?

Nope. I've browsed and free aim never seems to have a good portion of people and my shooting is subpar, if even, so I dived into auto. Just wanted to be surrounded by some people since I'm usually able to find at least a few players to join and have fun with.

Selling cars, customizing your own, finding people to join up with, explore, gain achievements, gang attacks, missions, rob stores, earn, steal vehicles, mess with NPCs, upgrade ammo, purchase clothes, change hair, go be amazing in Blaine County, infiltrate the military base, fly around in aircraft, etc.

I always joined semi full to full free aim lobbies before the newest update. Now, I get either kicked back to SP or join a lobby with only a few people and trying to hop to a different one is fruitless.

I'm always getting kicked back into SP, or I get these lobby errors that shift me somewhere else. Never in the same place for too long.

[Purpville]

This has happened to me but I'm the one that always start it. If I see a group riding around in the same car or multiple cars together I will try to kill all of them. Once the heat gets to heavy I find a new session. I find it very fun plus how do you expect to get your skills up if you never have combat!

 

Its ok to vent but you got to get a game plan quick cause it will happen again.

[Soran Is On]

"No. I shouldn't have to leave because these guys want to be jackasses"

 

Good on you for not leaving, but just being a bullet sponge isn't a good outcome either. Learn to abandon your current goals to show a-holes you won't be f*cked with. Then, if and when they've learned their lesson you can go about your day...

No. I shouldn't have to leave because these guys want to be jackasses.

if that means "they can't control me (read force me to leave)", there is no chance for win. if you're gonna leave, they took control over you making you leave the session. if you're gonna defend yourself, they took control over you by making you get in a stupid dogfight.

How to counter multiple trolls?

 

Simple. All you need is:

 

-Sticky bombs

-Creativity

-The hability to not give a f*ck about losing 10k if you blow up their PV

 

Use your minimap a lot. You are on the defensive side, so you have the advantage. You just don't know how to use it.

Sticky bombs are the best method for trolling, and the best way to defend yourself from multiple griefers at the same time.

 

I'll be quick and teach you a few basic techniques:

 

1- Suicide bombing: you already know this. You stuff your car's front bumper with stickies and kamikaze against the douche. I'll simply suggest you to use an Elegy, since you can get it free and you don't pay insurance for it when you destroy it (last time I checked. Dunno if they changed it. The car is still free, though).

 

2- Predict your enemies moves - car version: you see a white dot going down the street you are at mad speed. Must be a douche in a Chrentorno. Cover the road with stickies and stay behind them (don't stay near them, you want to kill the douche without killing yourself). Douche goes over the stickies - boom. You waste 10k, but it's worth.

 

3- Predict your enemies moves - on foot version: Take cover on corner A. Douche takes cover on corner B. Place sticky on A and proceed to C. Douche goes to A - boom. Rinse and repeat. Works with multiple douches at the same time, just be calm and use your mini map a lot. The mini map. Use it.

 

Did I mention to use the mini map?

Lol that's just bs mind games. The only way to win here is to recognize your strengths and weaknesses, be honest with yourself about what kind of player you are, and then assess how much of a fighting chance you have of shooting it out.

 

If you are a fighter, than winning for you should be being able to hold your on in a fight. If your not a fighter, your objective should be defend yourself and/or escaping your attackers.

 

You really only lose if you play the game THEY want you to play. If you are not a "free roam warrior" then don't let some guys trick you into fighting them; but if you are, don't let them chump you into backing away from a challenge just because the odds are in their favor. That's fighting a losing battle lol.

 

There is no dishonor in retreating if doing so is the most intelligent choice to make given a particular circumstance.

 

(Please don't confuse this with being pussy and acting all badass against weaker players only to run away like a coward when somebody tougher comes along.)
