Dear Pegasus, You suck.

[DeathBySybian]

This game has such an amazing amount of technology and detail put into it that some of the simple things they clearly skipped over are all the more frustrating.

 

"We're terribly sorry, there was a piece of paper on the street blocking our delivery. Call back some other time."

 

Two completely frustrating requirements of using Pegasus, especially when combined:

You have to be at least a half mile away for your vehicle to spawn "near by" and if anything - ANYTHING is remotely near the spawn it fails the spawn.

 

Spawning aircraft in Sandy Shores is pretty much impossible because the random spawn seems to take priority over your Pegasus vehicle. You just drive back and forth from airport to airport.

 

So, my question is what is this design for?

 

Clearly they know how to spawn something in a empty space (request personal vehicle) so why not with Pegasus?

 

Was it some sort of plan that the game would be more fun if there was a 25% chance your request would fail - but you only get to find out when you get there - then move something a few feet, drive a half mile, make another request, drive back and cross your fingers? Seriously?

I've never have had this problem before, I request my tank or buzzard and it spawns close to where I am all the time. I'm pretty sure the reason it doesn't spawn and you have to call it again is because of other players driving up to the vehicle. Now that Rockstar's made it so you can't go inside other people's pegasus vehicle I'm not sure what the de-spawning thing is used for besides players blowing it up.

[DeathBySybian]

Not sure what you're talking about, people go into my pegasus vehicle all the time (if I'm close enough for it to spawn)

However, if some random npc car is too close to the spawn, or some random aircraft is already spawned, I get a failure call from pegasus.

 

So I call them back and my plane spawns somewhere else. Drive over there and clearly there is some randomly spawning aircraft already there - get closer and get another call from pegasus. So frustrating.

 

The only place I can reliably get a helicopter is the heliport near the airport.

Tanks are about 25% failure near the theater (due to Limos and parked cars) and 75% failure near the pier due to a 4-wheeler.

[NHeptane]

OP is correct. At some point every one of my friends has sent me the message "Pegasus sucks".

 

I think it's just broken.

[Mach1bud]

Havent had an issue with Pegasus since moving to PS4.

[slowburn29]

My issue with Pegasus pretending we own the vehicles. I'd like to see a total of pegsus fees in the stats

[CrysisAverted]

You pay to own your vehicle but you're basically renting them.

You can't customize them at all, you can't lock people out of them, Pegasus delivers them to you at whatever location they deem suitable, they often don't spawn, they sometimes teleport across the map for the lulz.

You can't call pegasus for your vehicles in VS Missions effectively making your vehicles even more useless. You can't f*cking stop that one idiot who thinks controlling your Buzzard missiles will help your team.

I guess I should state that I'm referring to XB1

[Zneral]

True, i've had to drop off all of my friends to the location of the spawned vehicle the appeared far as hell at least 20 per session

[Apex]

They should add way more spawn points for helicopters and land vehicles. I shouldn't have to drive all the way to the Marina if I call my Buzzard in the Vinewood Hills. There are a ton of open areas that are suitable for choppers to spawn at, parking lots, grass fields, some rooftops etc.

Dear Pegasus,

 

You do suck. Used to rock when i could leave my Vestra and return to it laterings. Now it gets repo'd.

 

 

Just once...ONCE, i'd like to catch the repo npc "putting it back into storage"

 

I'd really hurt his/her feelings. Provide option to leave vehicle order without repo'd...reason why i haven't upgraded to ps4 version. Now waitings on FO4 and not heizzestes.

 

Thanks for nothing Pegasus,

 

i Chang

I don't have any actual data here but it seems to me, from trial and error, that if you're close enough to the Pegasus spawn point for the free vehicle to appear (if possible) but not close enough to see it then there's a chance your order will fail. If another player enters the area while your Pegasus vehicle is there before you arrive, there's a chance they'll trigger the spawn of a free vehicle which will overwrite yours. And of course, sometimes none off this happens and it's all fine. The lesson here is to move to Grapeseed, where youcan be alone with your thoughts and, more importantly, possessions.

[TheBaronOfHell]

I miss the days of stashing Pegasus vehicles around the map for later use. Putting a tank into a quiet spot in a parking lot for quick access if whomever you're having a war with goes for tanks.

 

I detest having to drop off my crew members down the road before calling for plane, especially when we're in a hurry.

Ok, so you go and find an easier way to obtain any of them...let us know what you find out

hmm, you sound like a tank griefer.

Sufficed it to say the Marshall now Stored and Insured in my Garage can MYSTERIOUSLY be Called via the Mechanic and Spawn as any other PV would without Issue simply because the game is recognizing it as a PV...Try and call it at the Spawn point near the Cinemas and Pegasus will decide they can not find a Spawn Point around 25% of the time (or worse sometimes)...There is no good reason why most Land based Pegasus Vehicles can not Spawn like a normal PV.

 

Helicopters/Planes obviously need to Spawn at Helipads and Landing Strips respectively...R* just need to detect if a non-player Helicopter/Plane is within the Pegasus Spawn area and remove them so the Player Helicopter/Plane can Spawn.

 

That was Hard.

[danowar]

I've only had the Pegasus problem where if your character is too close to the spawn location it spawns far away. Over time you learn where not to call Pegasus for a vehicle.

Pegasus needs to hire Johnny on the spot.

 

The guys out of work, living out of a cardboard box just off integrity way. I'm sure he'd be happy to deliver our peg vehicles for a monthly salary again.

Sorry, but I don't want to have to pay him $75 a day to put scratches in my buzzard chopper.

 

The armor isn't but so tough as it is....

[OBeef619]

The worst of Pegasus is when you see your vehicle flashing at the end of the street only for it to disappear and be unavailable to deliver when you get close.

 

And the teleport to Fort Zancudo was pretty annoying too.

Johnny on the spot could be a dangerous mf'er

God forbid if you want to order a Pegasus vehicle for a friend! you either gotta drop them off, or drive up about 10 miles per hour for a 50/50 chance it'll spawn!

[Jammsbro]

Ask for an aircraft while near Sandy Shores and it gets delivered to McKenzie Field, ask for one while near McKenzie field and...well, you know the rest.

[saintsrow]

This game has such an amazing amount of technology and detail put into it that some of the simple things they clearly skipped over are all the more frustrating.

Indeed, the world design is incredible, but whoever is writing the game function software needs a course in basic logic.

[hsthompson]

Agreed. f*ck Pegasus.

 

f*ck that gimpy, Lester too.

 

Four stars, my back up against the wall, bullets everywhere, I chance getting shot as I pull my cell out to call Lester and the cock sniff does not answer. BLAMM! An officer pelts my face with a 12 gauge at close range because obviously I can't hold a cell and shoot at the same time.

[gravik]

I just hate it when I am almost to my vehicle and then get "I'm sorry, we have moved your vehicle back into storage"

I forgot about that lol, but I assume that is purposeful game mechanics. Though I do get angry at him not being at my Beck and call.

[elfoam]

The OP is 100% correct I could write a book on the downfalls of pegasus. Often it takes 20 minutes to get a plane delivered. Freakin STUPID. I'm on ps4 and it hasn't improved at all on ps4.

 

Noob players that aren't pushing the game probably don't noticed some things but this area of the game is entirely broken.

This.. The backend and main code of the game is flawless. The scripts ontop are the worst of Amy game ever made. Iyt such a contrast. The main coders must go home crying at night with what the scripters do with their game.

I've had my Pegasus planes spawn inside the random-generated planes and explode as soon as I got near them...

 

Yeah, it does suck. But if R* fixed Pegasus once(remember everything spawning at only one location far away?), then they can do it again right?
