As for cameras/patrol routes, it's not for me - it's for them. So many failures because some rookie blundered in front of a camera. 

 

 

Recently when a heist starts and we're on our drive out to the ban..casino, I simply ask, "Do you know what to do?" Most of the time, they say yes, I won't lie here, I have purposely kept back and let the rookie go in front, just to see if he knows to avoid the camera or not. 

I'm not talking about the camera inside the casino either.....

Oh, and what about that absolute king of bonehead rookie moves: driving (or for added points, parking) right in front of the valet and setting off the alarm before we've even set foot inside. Followed by someone hitting the door, teleporting us inside and locking in the alarm, of course.

 

No, I never ask them if they know what they're doing. You can tell from the set up, plus, as I say, straight up assuming they're morons saves time.

I thought the Gruppe 6 van would give it away on how to get in. Nope.

Even during aggressive, I went through the trouble of getting the boring machine to go straight to the vault but nah. Skips that and goes to the casino guns blazing. 

 

On another note* I did Fleeca last night. Took about 20 minutes....I should've been the hacker, fella spent a good 10-15 minutes trying to hack while I casually waited outside the bank in the car, not looking suspicious at all. 

The dialogue Lester says, "The program is cleaning up after you so you can take as many shots as you need and they won't know they're being hacked." That has to go, now I always hack and drill. 

 

Once that was done, I replayed the heist with another random, he was a newbie, level 5. I thought, well, if I do the hacking and drilling, really there's not much to mess up on, if he's gonna mess up, it will be in the bank when he kills a hostage. I'll take that chance. 

The heist goes off without a problem, piece of cake - I didn't realise there was a problem until he zoomed past the Cargobob....and then continued to drive fast along Zancudo Bridge, into the tunnel...Heist Failed. I've been playing heists since they were originally released, I've never experienced that before. 

Replay, fast forward to the getaway, I come on the mic and tell him "You need to stay under it." Silly me, I didn't actually say what 'it' was. (For all you clever boys and girls out there, I meant the Cargobob) I did not mean the actual bridge itself. The driver drives UNDER Zancudo Bridge and stays there......Heist Failed.

 

I thought nah, naaaaah he's taking the piss isn't he, he's not actually that stupid, I did start laughing. I mean the helicopter is there for an actual reason.....never mind, as they say, third time lucky and the heist was passed.

We are, after all, talking about the kind of people that would drive into the ocean if the GPS told them to go there.

It's mind boggling just how many of these fails you encounter in heists. As in, the marker is literally right in front of them but they still act like they have no clue where to go and end up crashing the vehicle a country mile away. And GTA games have always used these kinds of markers, so it's not a completely new concept.

[God-eater]

Ok, I know this isn't a heist failure, but I wasn't going to start a new thread called "Mission Failure Stories".

 

I just wanted to pay tribute to the Buckingham SuperVolito, a vehicle that truly separates the real players from the drooling, moronic cockwombles. 

 

I remain slack-jawed with amazement that the vast, vast majority of GTA players fit into the latter category.

 

Yes, I'm talking about Special Vehicle Missions and how many fail before they start simply because people can't land a f*cking helicopter. 

[God-eater]

Well, I have tasted the Dark Side, and it was as seductive as Master Yoda warned us it would be. 

 

I warn you now, dear readers, this is not a good story. It is a tale of grief and woe, and a complete lack of regret on my part. It's also long as f*ck, so smoke 'em if you got 'em.

 

So, having returned to Los Santos at the behest of a friend, I found myself with little to do after he logged off. I decided to see how the DCH community has fared in my absence and queued up for a random Casino heist.

 

After the usual litany of kicks, hosts quitting & network errors, I finally landed in a 4-man Aggressive Gold. My teammates were all double digits, so of course I held little hope of collecting my 15%. But I was not there for the money, so off we went.

 

The host was kind enough to equip us with Carbine Rifles and Reinforced Armor. Unfortunately, he neglected to complete the Duggan Shipments prep. In a further act of lolwtf, the host had completed the Boring Machine prep and thus had the Sewer Entry option, but elected to enter the Casino via the roof. I advised otherwise, but was ignored in accordance with The Way of Randoms

 

Nevertheless, we proceeded rappel down to the security level and commenced heavy combat. I quickly found myself alone as my teammates fought their way around to the back hallway, so I nipped through the security room and took the elevator down.

 

I disposed of the main force and took up a position by the security desk just outside the mantrap so as to take out respawns as they appeared. After a time, my teammates appeared and I continued to cover them while they fumbled around with the locks. 

 

After a few attempts, they managed to coordinate swipes and we proceeded into the tunnel. We blasted to vault door and began scooping up gold bars. It became immediately apparent that we were not all experts at vault looting; I did what I could and we only left 2 carts behind, which is f*cking awful for a team of four, but The Way of Randoms demands mediocrity, and who am I to go against Scripture?

 

Anyway, we made our way out and up, losing only one teammate along the way. We got out of the Casino, and that's when the real fun began. 

 

Our first attempt was thwarted by a teammate who discovered a patch of ground that he simply could not give up, opting to stand his ground and fight off endless waves of cops. Alas, he was quickly murdered and we restarted. 

 

The second failure was in fact quite amusing. As we jumped the fence, a teammate died right next to me. I hit the ground and to my astonishment found myself ripped to f*cking shreds by chopper blades. I'm not sure if it was crashing or the cops were dive bombing us, but it was definitely a "Well, Didn't See That Coming" moment. We restart.

 

This time, we make it to the road. I grab the first civillian car that happens along, which to my chagrin is a Blista Compact, a 2-seater. The host is not too far behind me, so I scoop him up and bail for the sewer tunnel. 

 

As the experienced amongst you know, that would normally be it. Wait out the cops then take a leisurely drive to Paleto, right? Alas, I made a bad call; you see, an old habit of mine is that for 15%, I won't chauffeur anyone across the entire map, so once we'd lost the cops I jumped out and let the host take over the driving. I take full responsibility for that error. 

 

The host proceeds to follow the GPS as tho it was the Word of God, which took us back past the Casino and thus our wanted level resumed. We speed down the freeway, chunks of gold flying from our bags and losing a tire. My host makes no attempt to shake the cops, just powers on as they spawn in front of us. 

 

We had just passed under the rail bridge near Mt Gordo when my host decided to change rides, screeching to a halt and grabbing a passing Patriot. Then he did the unthinkable - as I move to get in, he just bails, leaving me standing on the freeway even as cop cars, NOOSE SUV's and choppers surround me in seconds.

 

I admit to being somewhat affronted by this childish and petty move. But, as we know, it is unwise for a host to engage in a battle of childish and petty behaviour, since it's a war they can't possibly win as they have far more to lose.

 

At that moment, I resolve that there will be consequences for this action. I have reinforced armor and over 2000 round of ammunition for my carbine, so I take up position behind the fairly-ruined Blista and go to war right there in the road. 

 

Years of Trevor rampages have prepared me for this, and I comfortably hold off the waves of cops and choppers; however, significant money is lost, by me and the rest of the team who apparently still have not lost the cops. 

 

After several minutes, I see that my teammates have finally made it to the buyer. I, however, am committed to my course and stay put. Eventually, my teammates realise what's happening and come back to collect me. I grin as I get into the Patriot, because I know damn well that as soon as I do they'll pick up my 5 star wanted level. 

 

We lose two tires almost immediately. The driver, not the host this time, attempts to escape by driving up the side of Mt Chiliad. In a Patriot with two blown tires. Needless to say, this is not successful and we quickly find ourselves hopelessly lodged against a tree on a slope. We abandon the Patriot, my teammates scattering in all directions. I trundle downhill to where a cop car has followed us up the gully, dispatch the cops and help myself to their vehicle.

 

I tear off, quickly getting onto the train tracks and head into Paleto to break LOS  and wait out my wanted level. Alas, my teammates do not fare so well, and two of them are killed. We restart.

 

We fight our way from the Casino to the road once more, and are fortunate to have yet another Patriot spawn. My teammates jump in. I attempt the same, but get that weird bug where you get stuck in the entry animation... and the host immediately peels off and leaves me behind yet again.

 

Beaming with joy, I dash down into the floodway and resume my cop war. This time, my position is less than ideal as cops are spawning in on all sides. After a minute or so, I determine that this position is untenable and that I had better get the f*ck out of Dodge sharpish. Fortunately, cops are arriving in the floodway, so I kill them and once again commandeer a police cruiser. 

 

I hit the nearby sewer tunnel and head off. Interestingly, as I pass under my teammates, I note that they appear to be stopped and milling about the one spot. No matter - I proceed to lose my wanted level, hit the freeway, trade off my cop car for a passing Obey 9F Cabrio and let the wind blow thru my hair as I cruise up the freeway to Paleto. 

 

My teammates fart around the Arcadius Building for quite some time - I assume they've tried to use the underground carpark to escape the cops and are now boxed in. If only some legendary fighter & getaway driver had a mind to swoop in and rescue them, eh?

 

After chatting with some motorcross fans for a few minutes, I see that my teammates have broken through and are heading out of the city - right back past the Casino. By this point, my cheeks ache from the maniacal grinning. 

 

I ponder for a moment, trying to figure out how to put the cherry on this delicious grief sundae when inspiration strikes. 

 

I swim over to a small island just across from the drop point and wait. After no small amount of time the rest of the team trickles into the drop point. I swear I can taste their despair as they realise where I am. 

 

Messages ensue, beseeching me to come back. I tell the team the host knows what he did, and I tell the host that I'll come back... after he apologises. 

 

I include a transcript for your reading pleasure.

 

Host: Alright I'm sorry, ok

Me: Sorry for...?

Host: idk what i did

Me: For being petty and childish

Host: I'm sorry for being petty and childish

Me: ty. omw.

 

I swam back and the heist was complete.

 

I tell you now, I have never in my life enjoyed being an absolute thundercunt so much. Hell, I've never done anything even remotely close to that in a heist before - normally i'd just bail and move on. For some reason, this time I felt the need to punish, to abuse the power given to me by nothing more than the need for all four of us to hit the corona. To, just this once, make some dick suffer the consequences of being a dick. 

 

It was f*cking glorious. I must never do this again.

 

The moral of the story? Don't f*ck with an asshole who holds a million of your dollars in his hands.

 

Thank you for your time.

So I joined some guy in his quest to finish his Prison Break and it was going pretty smooth, besides the fact that the Wet Work took about 40 minutes cause one of the idiots did not knew what to do, but he was replaced for the finale. Host gave everybody 25% - nice! I just told him to be sure pilot and demolition are knowing what they are doing. Turned out demolition was an actual low rank, so he came with me in prison. When I saw him jumping over the barricade from the top of the building before going down for Rashkovski, my heart sunk... but he survived (no idea how - maybe he fell on a cop). I was quick to kill two cops around him and... "The Velum was destroyed".

 

The host apologized. OK, sh*t happens.

 

Second attempt everything goes as smooth as it could go, though Mr. Low Rank never read my message to go back and take that armor again, cause it respawns, if he loses the one he has. Mr. Host had set the heist to Normal, so the game... spawned Mr. Low rank in the middle of the SWAT team. I've never-ever shot so fast in my GTA career - saved his ass!

 

Off with the armored truck we are.

Demo is, as it seems, on the other side of the map.

Velum is at the airport, waiting for us with its warm embrace.

We stop at the perfect position so no one should circle around it and get propelled.

Entering "F" to exit the armored truck.

Explosion above us.

Flaming heli corpse falls on top of the Velum and it all goes in a big Fourth of July Firework Spectacle Extravaganza.

 

There was no third attempt.

Edited May 23, 2021 by partci

[God-eater]

@partci sucks when that happens. Of course, a good Demo will have the choppers down before they're right above the Velum.

 

Next time, tell the host to make you Demo if he can be Pilot & handle the jets alone, and that this means you'll cover the Ground Team. I did that on my last PB. Completion time 5:41, first try. 

 

If the host doesn't know how to deal with the jets, tell him to assign the highest rank after you. 

 

Of course, at this stage of the game, just going along on an OG heist is practically an act of charity.

[partci]

@God-eater I'm playing those for fun, not for money. And I laughed my ass off.

I feel ya. If I join a random heist these days, it's pretty much to see exactly how they'll fail it. OG heists are best for this - it's Lowbie City & they fail in so many hilarious ways.

 

DCH is no fun at all, because they always fail the same two ways: Host skipped vital preps and doom the run or Rambos trip the alarm & die repeatedly until the team quits. That gets boring pretty quick. Plus even after all this time it still irks me when clueless hosts expect me to carry them into a pile of money for 15%. Add the fact that it can take as much as an hour to get into one, there's just no amusement to be had there.

 

As for DD, same thing. Boring because they all fail the same way - some Rambo dies repeatedly until the team quits. Plus, let's face it; DD heists are f*cked beyond f*cked - long, tedious and cartoonishly rigged against the player. Except Bogdan, of course, but no one hosts Bogdan with the intention of completing it, and they won't bring you if you don't have one ready to trade off with them (which I don't - I symbolically completed mine because a) Cayo Perico is almost as lucrative & 100% legit, and b) "Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen...").

 

Cayo Perico doesn't really rate for entertainment either, since only a fool would bring randoms along on that one. The handful that I did join played out much like the DCH - wrong preps & triggered alarms. The difference there is that it can take considerable time to reach the fail point since the drainage tunnel seems to be a huge secret that only I know about.

 

I don't often join random heists, but when I do it is with the full expectation that it will fail. The only question I have is "Will the way they fail make me laugh and laugh?". On that point, you and I are very much on the same page.

Well, I play random OG almost exclusively, as I find this the most fun part of the game somehow. Yesterday someone on the Pac Standard "Insurgents" mission, just after you pick the trucks and because I went to shoot from the roof of the semi and he was driving (as the highest ranking player I thought it's better to be me with the health and armor), he went almost to the highway so I can shot down a heli, then the GPS told him that to get to the said highway, so he can follow the other Insurgent, he had to spiral back 10 miles, just so he can get to the side road that gets you to cross said highway. I died. I was about to write him to just go straight forward, but was too busy wiping tears off of my eyes.

 

I have to be faster in hitting that PrtScr key for those, but at this point my brain just stopped working.

 

 

Edit: so just to be a bit more on topic: is it only me or the game recently kicks out people and loses connection and whatnot even more often? I find it hard to finish even a stupid prep. Something almost always happens and one player drops.

Oh, f*ck me eight ways from Sunday, I have just seen the best failure ever  My cheeks are still wet from the tears. 

 

I've just logged on & have some time to kill, so I think, "let's join a random DCH & have some laughs". RNGesus hears my thoughts. I queue up, drop into a 4-man Big Con. First thing I hear is some rank 63 squeaker saying "...so could I have, like, 35 or 50, if you don't mind?". 

 

The sheer f*cking cheek. I began chortling instantly, my head shaking as incredulity pours from my face. The kid's tone was deadly serious, too, as if he thought that it was perfectly reasonable to ask the host for more money than they themselves would get.

 

We do the cut screen, default cuts all around. Move to the outfit screen... and the kid fades out as he quits. Because the host didn't give him basically all the money. 

 

I mean, I know the kiddies are entitled, selfish little sh*ts, but this one has to be the most egregious taker of the piss I've ever seen. The fact that he even asked put my jaw on the floor, but quitting over not getting his outrageous request just sums up why I wish I could filter children from my matchmaker. Seriously, I want to have a talk with this brat's parents about the unbelievable little c*nt they're raising (or failing to raise, as it were).

 

Ah, the friend who I reinstalled this horrorshow of a game for has just come online. Time to pull off some perfect jobs with zero chance of failure.

Prison break finale. Hard for biggest pay.

Now the prison guard and prisoner managed to stay alive.

The buzzard did its job. Protecting me. The pilot.

 

I landed at sandy airfield. Prison crew and rashkovsky enter the plane and the buzzard kept shooting the police.

Guess what happened.

He blew up a police helicopter. That wreck fell into me as I was about to take off. Boom. Mission failed.

So frustrating

[Rotorhead359]

Another day, another Prison break with randoms. I don't know why I still keep joining them, maybe just to see them fail.

It was on Normal mode, which I actually prefer over hard, because you can afford a bad parachute landing at the end.

I was pilot, the flight behind the jet was uneventful, the prison escape was quick (excellent ground team, quick and clean)

Even losing the cops and parachuting to the beach went perfect. What could possibly go wrong at this point?

 

Well... the helicopter had gotten a little dirty and Demolitions tried to wash it... or so I think. He didn't look like a bad pilot.

There was no second attempt.

Lol. I think the same about the parachuting.

Somehow I don't expect players to die in prison because everyone should be good at shooting now but I seen many players dying while parachuting. Hitting hard into the cliffs. So so frustrating.

And that helicopter crash. No sh*t, I witnessed that too. He flew alright and didn't mess around but landed hard in the water

[God-eater]

@AirWolf359 & @Fadgaba-Jones, I've mentioned it before ITT, but there's a bug that can cause that. The Buzzard freezes during the bailout cutscene, and when Demo spawns back in the engines are off. If they aren't already on the ground they just fall out of the sky. Happens to me just about every time I'm Demo, so I make damn sure I'm on the beach before the bailout.

 

If the Demo was otherwise fine, the dunking could very well have been the result of the bug.

It wasn't that. I know about that bug, but this looked different. He just didn't seem to know how to land it. The Buzzard was in full working order, and he only seemed a bit slow to put it down. Before he splashed, he seemed in complete control. We had already parachuted onto the beach, and were watching him land.

PacStand Bike setup: I do all the job, lvl 54 dies(the host)

invite me to Final: "u can get 5", proceeds to give 40% to his lvl 41 white suit noob friend who would have died 10 times during final and 50% to himself, me and the chinese guy were assigned 5% each lol

Me: Ok(already planning something...)

Its hard not to become toxic in this game, but you know...5% ? I mean f*cking 5% for watching them going rambo, falling off their bikes 10 times, its worth 15% or even more in my opinion

Well, I will say that after doing the Special Vehicle missions last week, there is a startling number of players that cannot land a chopper without destroying it. Rank seems to have no bearing on this. 

 

Randoms - the only thing you can rely on is that they will be unreliable. 

 

@Hécate-II 5% of 1.25 million is about 62K. Your response was correct. The only thing 5% buys from me is a guarantee that the heist will fail. Personally, I'd wait until we were all at the boat before doing something terminal. I want them to be able to taste the money before I take it away.

And this is why I will join every heist except Pacific Standard. Of all the heists, this one brings out the worst in people. I don't need the money, but that doesn't mean I'll work for free.

For me, it's the fact that Pac Standard is essentially a huge fight followed by a long drive followed by 10000 restarts followed by someone quitting. 

 

I remember back when the world was young when gamers prided themselves on being good at games. I have no idea when or why that changed, but today it seems that the goal of most players seems to be to fail as hard as possible. 

 

I mean, it's a game. It's not a medical degree or the Olympics; it ain't that hard to be good at it, or even passably competent.

 

I blame the Participation Trophy generation, who were raised to expect rewards just for showing up.

[God-eater]

Whooo, 5 hours, 11 minutes.

 

That's how long it took for me to get into and complete a single DCH. 

 

Thank f*ck I had Netflix and these forums to keep me occupied during that time. Got thru about half a season of Parks & Rec. Can't decide if I like Ron Swanson or April more. One thing for sure, I could watch Rashida Jones all day, son.

-Patching Kuruma

-I/E

-Gunrunning DLC made so many decent players becoming afk bots that check their game once in a while to buy supplies

-Bogdan release 

 

After that PacStand became absolutly obnoxious with randoms, as the average level decreased(decent players doing something else), it was the best grind in 2016. When better grinding methods were released, it gradually became the cesspool of clown suits dressed low levels we have to suffer nowadays. Sure those guys existed already in 2016, but you had more probability to meet good players back then.

Last part of the prison heist a Level 10 kamikaze the plane into a police car. 

[partci]

Did I missed the memo of someone in C* flipping the difficulty level of PacSt: Convoy from 5 to 21? From Hard to Pandemonic Hardcore Apocalypse Impossible Torment?

 

Two separate cases yesterday: in the first one I go and sit in the Insurgent and wait for someone to get in the MG sit. Host gets to the truck and flies away, followed by the other under R50 absolute and utter noobs. "One needs to get back here and get in the MG seat!" I say in chat. "Too late" was the answer. "Truck was destroyed", was the message on the screen. Then the philosopher went into this tirade of how "if you are fast enough with the truck you need not to worry about the helis", to which I replied "Good luck with that, but instead, let's please do it safe so we don't repeat this 10 000 times". Idiot gets in the truck and again storms towards the GPS final destination, no one but me next to the Insurgent again. Esc+Enter. Not playing this game.

 

Next one: I decide that people don't like shooting the Insurgent MG (news to me) and also am R490, so I can sponge a bit more aimbotting from it. Host is yapping all the time "If you get first to the bridge, kill yourself so the others don't have to travel and we get teleported and also stay in the Kuruma, the Kuruma you stay in, IN THE KURUMA YOU STAY11!!". I was sure to drive as slow with my Kuruma (which I started to use again in this mission instead of my Insurgent cause it seemed everybody in said mission DIES as soon as the MW Insurgent shows) so I can get there just as slow enough so I don't have to kill myself. So, we all get to the bridge, snipe the first Savage, clean the MW around the truck and I jump in the MG spot. Truck flies away again as I sit there like a sad clown: "Truck was destroyed" came mere seconds later. We do it again, I get to the MW Insurgent again while some AI is aimbotting me from god knows where and I see an icon of another player right next to said MW Insurgent, meaning right next to me. Just sitting there for good 1+ minute (seemed like an hour). "GET IN AND DRIVE THE FN TRUCK YOU MORON!" I yell in chat and then I realize... the c*cksucking moron is just sitting in MY Kuruma, as the host said we should do in the beginning of this prep. Sitting there for more than a minute while I was getting shot left, right and center. Host says "Be more nice and gentle to people and mind your manners", to which I replied "No, I'm gonna mind my own business with another mission, thank you" and hit Esc+Enter again.

 

Jesus wept.

 

What did I do to deserve this?

Has Casino Heist replaying become a thing recently? Because it's the only explaination I have for this.

 

Aggressive, Artwork, Level 2 Security, Duggan Shipments All Destroyed, Hand Drills.

Immediate red flag, 4 players for Artwork. Host is 400+, I'm nearly 800, and the other two are in the upper double digits, Host gives us bigger cuts than himself. Host picks Side Door for Entry & Escape. Weirdly, goes off without a hitch, bar one of the double digits deciding to leave the vault and not bother with lockboxes despite having about a minute left. I grabbed the Daily Vault prior to going downstairs, on the way back up another player tried to grab it, but it had no money and got glitched on it. One EWO reset from the host and we escape, round the racetrack and over the fence, the other 3 are running for the getaway cars, I grab the first civvy car, unfortunately only a 2 seater.

 

The team are so far away I just go for the tunnel right next to me, we've already failed the Elite Challenge, no point rushing for the helicopter to beat the par time when we can keep the money we do have safe. Rest of the team get to the Getaway Cars, then go for the chopper, as I get to the opening under the UD waiting for my Wanted Level to clear, the chopper starts making a beeline for me. I say screw it and slowly creep out, Wanted Level hasn't cleared yet but hey, quick pickup and we're off... nope, the choppers still halfway up the UD in the sky. Luckily my Wanted Level clears before I get surrounded, and I carry on, the host decides to furiously chase me. I take a bad spinout but luckily don't lose any money, chopper finally lands in front of me and I say screw it and get it... that's when I hear sirens.

 

My only guess is the host thinks the Wanted Level is shared amongst the whole team regardless of location or vehicle. We take a few hits but we get there, that's when I notice in the 100k on a Coupe screen there's only 3 characters, and the Host isn't among them.

 

I can only imagine this bright spark thinks he's being a hero to the community by potentially taking the bullet from the anti-cheat system by hosting repeat Casino Heists... with some of the most ridiculous strategies for the simpliest no-nonsense heist in the game.
