This is exactly why you SHOULD enable passive mode when...

[jesusalready]

 

...delivering a High Profile Vehicle.

 

 

Also to those who complain about it, just remember that it's there for everyone to utilize to their advantage, which I myself demonstrated perfectly in this video imo, if I weren't to go into passive mode, I'd almost certainly be killed by the explosives &/or the gunfire at the end.

& I'm sure many would make the point that, that's where the fun lies in this & that passive mode only serves to kill that fun, which is true for the person trying to steal the HPV, whereas the same thing certainly can't be said about the person trying to deliver the HPV, that's for damn sure.

You are noob. You should have driven straight to a garage after stealing HPV. But instead you drove away and gave him time to put sticky bombs everywhere, it is your tactical defeat. And you wanted to fix this by turining on passive? So noob.

 

 

I picture you as a guy who yells into his mic everytime he gets a kill, "YEAH, BITCH, TOLD YOU I WAS HARDCORE! The first 20 times you killed me was all luck!"

 

Players still sell cars to Simeon?

If I'm killing some time waiting for friends or crew members to join, why not? If you end up in a session at the right time and are good at spotting Simeon cars (especially the more expensive ones) you can hit the trifecta of selling cars and can possibly make 40-50k in 10-15 minutes or so.

1. Sell modded Baller, Sentinel or Dubsta to LSC. 22-36k
2. Find a Simeon vehicle he wants. Up to 12.5k (depending on the make)
3. HPV - another 10-12k (depending on the make)

How much you make will vary depending on vehicle values, and takes about as long as a mission (or two).

Jacka, why you taking this all out of context? I know I offended you when I told you to eat sh!#

Not offended in the least. I'm just calling out you for being upset, which you are. But you keep denying it, makes no difference to me, cupcake.

You have not called me out for anything

The only real tweak I think it should have is that you shouldn't be able to go passive for about 2 minutes after you kill a player. If in that 2 minutes you are killed by a player then the time limit can be removed and you could immediately go passive when you respawn.

 

 

I'd agree with that but 1 minute should be enough for any revenge if they stick around. They run, they get merc's, mugger and maybe a bounty as long as they stay in a vehicle.

 

 

So after arguing with and insulting me in the other thread about passive mode, you now completely agree with my suggested tweak to passive mode. Check.

 

 

I insulted you? I don't think I did, certainly no more than you did me only I don't go running to teacher.

 

And where am I agreeing with anything? I'm not. I still think what you say is total and utter bovine manure. However, instead of crying about passive mode on a fan forum, I find ways around it and use that to my benefit. To that end, I like passive the way it is.

 

 

"Running to teacher"? What the ever-loving f*ck are you talking about? Moderators or something? I haven't gone running to anybody. I've responded to your idiotic posts again and again, even against my better judgment since you seem to not listen to what I say or even understand what my position is.

 

You are absolutely agreeing with exactly what I proposed. Your sentence starts with "I'd agree with that." The thing you then go on to agree with is exactly the change I proposed to make to passive, except the timer is a somewhat shorter duration (you suggest 1 minute; I suggested 2-5 minutes, 2 minimum, and otherwise passive mode would stay as it is). Just further proof that you didn't even bother to understand what I was talking about before you made a fool of yourself rushing to disagree with it.

Stealing HPVs from other players is automatically giefing regardless of whether or not PM is involved.

 

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

 

The game basically points a flashing neon sign at the HPV until it is destroyed or delivered. You are INVITED to go try to take it from whoever has it, and the money you get for selling it yourself is a reward (however small) for doing so. This is just the game design - period. Calling it "griefing" to steal it is like saying that capturing the other team's flag in a FPS game is "griefing" because it annoys the other team to lose.

People complained about passive mode on last gen consoles. Now people are still complaining about it. Of course people are going to use passive mode to get special crates or deliver simeons car, that is the wise thing to do.

 

It's the wise thing to do as long as the game lets you. Many of us complaining here aren't singling out players for using those tactics (actually, I use them myself) but rather criticizing Rockstar for allowing you to do it in the first place. I don't want players to feel bad about themselves for doing the obvious, safe thing that greatly increases your chances of success at whatever (be it a crate drop or delivering the HPV). What I want is for the developers to rethink the design, because I don't think this tool was intended to be used in this way, I think it's cheap, and I think the game would be more fun for the majority of players if you couldn't do it anymore.

If they're idiotic, don't reply. Pretty simple really......

 

And no, I am far from agreeing with your ramblings. If you'd care to actually read, or maybe get someone to help you, you'll see I was replying to somethign that has nothing to do with you. Are you really that desperate for my attention that you have to twist stuff in the thread to get it kid?

 

I think the day I agree with anything you say would be the day Beelzebub goes skiing!
