size_m Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) ok, now here is the detailed instruction for keeping the progress for the 28-day-bonus while being absent a couple of days (i.e. on vacation): char A = the character who is supposed to keep the progress. char B = is the other character who can get that progress reset. 1. on the last day playing before absence time log in first (after refresh/reset time for the daily obj.) with char B to get his list of daily objectives refreshed. 2. complete the list of daily objectives for char B (i'm not really sure if that matters but i did it. maybe you can just leave that list incomplete). 3. the first day after coming back after the absence time log in first (after refresh time) with char B to refresh his list. 4. after that switch back to char A the next day and refresh his list. the progress for char B should be reset but the progress for char A should be saved. this worked for ps3, not sure about the other platforms.

Bolatsi Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) oh, I'm sorry for that. I thought I knew how it works, but I guess it's still a bit of a mystery. One thing I forgot to mention was that when switching to another character I made sure that the social club website updates for the awards to the character I want to use as "a holiday character" which gets the daily objectives when I'm absent. Did your daily objectives update for both of your characters when you were absent? EDIT. only read your first post. So this "holiday character" = your character B.

size_m Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) @bolatsi it worked for the other character ("char B"). the progress for char B was still 8/28 after the absence time. but i wanted to save the progress for the other one ("char A", who had 23/28). i didn't care about the social club website so this would not be neccessary for that method. no need to be sorry it's not your fault. i knew there would be a risk to try that. at least now we know how it works the right way (see the instruction above, post #61). my fault was that i first logged in with the wrong character (the last inactive char A) when i came back. Just to throw a spanner in the works you can actually do daily objectives for both your characters if you login from about 7am in the morning as I've been doing mine with both characters daily. Login just after 7 with Slot 1 character, get daily objectives either complete or if you need a friend do swap character to Slot 2 and the game updates them with new daily objectives as well and you can get 2 lots of 250k or 1k/5k dependant how many days you've done. It's proven a handy source of income... this method really works if you activate (switch to) both characters within the first hour after the refresh time of the daily objectives! thanks to tails_prower_2040 for this great find! @denturedynamite you should add both of these great methods to the initial post.

Bolatsi Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 @tails: So that way you have 24 hours to complete the daily objectives for both characters? @size_m: I wanted to say that thing about Social Club, since I thought it might have something to do about which character is active and which not. But this is still a bit of speculation. I'm still sorry that I couldn't explain my theory. I totally put the character A away when I was absent. When I quit the game I made sure that character B is active online and on SC website. Then when I came back 3 days later I logged in with character B. It had it's progress reset. Then I switched to char A which had it's progress still going and active.

size_m Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) i know now. unfortunately i had to learn it the hard way. i thought it doesn't matter which character to use first for log in after the absence time but it wasn't. but now we know that the detailed instruction in post #61 works like that. so no need for the social club thing.

Bolatsi Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) How do you know that social club thing is not necessary, if you haven't even tried it? I 'm not saying it is, but you act like you know everything, yet I am the one who has done this absence succesfully and you are not. From now on, I won't post here. funmw2 would be a source for the coding and true facts. Besides that, it's a "try and success or fail" -game for all of us. Hopefully people can profit with your #61.

MTBB47 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I cannot seam to do the objectives for both characters repeatably, sometimes it resets for both but not often. For me the D/O's roll over at 6pm (im in NZ),i get home from work at 5.30. Sign in on second character, D/O's refresh. Before doing any of them i swap to main character but NO refresh. I dashboard, hard reset, swap characters back and forth, walk in and out of my garage, go to story mode, start invite only. None of it helps. The stats are not resetting so its not like im loosing progress but i started doing both at the same time, Character 2 is now at 18/28 days while character 1 only just got to 7 days yesterday. I don't often have a month like i do at the moment, to get on GTA everyday but this month is a bit different for me and i thought id be able to get the awards for both characters but it appears R* doesn't want it to be that easy. Has anyone come up with a solution that works to be able to do both characters?

DentureDynamite Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Impromptu RaceOne on one DM Capture Contend Ugh. I feel your pain; and anyone else starting to really hate Captures? Nothing like getting "randomly" spammed with those almost every day. Grr. Shy* really needs to add a means of selecting what type of capture you're looking to join in "Quick Job" (i.e. specify Capture - Hold, Capture - RAID, etc.). That should drastically improve matchmaking, by letting players easily join existing jobs needing players; not creating more empty lobbies.

MTBB47 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 what console are you on? i'm on ps3 and for me it works when i log in within the first hour after the refresh time and then swapping to the other char also still within the first hour after the refresh time. once i had that issue that the list didn't refresh for the other character at first but after some seconds waiting the list got refreshed as well. i think i went out of the garage and waited a bit then it refreshed. but you are right that rockstar tries to prevent players to get that bonus more than once a real life day. but it's not patched yet as it worked for me today. Im on the 360 Yea it has worked a few times when i do what you have mentioned but maybe 10% of the time it works. Im pretty much always on when they reset as its just after i get home from work and i do do it within the first hour, probably the first 10-20 minutes normally. Last night i tried again swapping to #1 straight away after they reset for #2, walked in and out of garage etc, didn't work again. Wwalked in and out of garage, did a quick mission, still nothing, dashboarded, tried again, nothing, reset console, invite only, public match nothing. Tried doing a objective on #2 then swapping back to #1 too. Its not the end of the world but i would have liked to have got everything for both characters at the same time.

size_m Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) ... Character Swapping (completing two sets of daily objectives per day) (Note: this worked for PS3, not sure about the other platforms). Following are detailed instructions for retaining progress for the 28-day-bonus while being absent a couple of days (i.e. on vacation): Char A = the character who is supposed to keep the progress. Char B = is the other character who can get that progress reset. 1. On the last day playing before absence time log in first (after refresh/reset time for the daily obj.) with char B to get his list of daily objectives refreshed. 2. Complete the list of daily objectives for char B (i'm not really sure if that matters but i did it. maybe you can just leave that list incomplete). 3. The first day after coming back after the absence time log in first (after refresh time) with char B to refresh his list. 4. After that switch back to char A the next day and refresh his list. The progress for char B should be reset but the progress for char A should be saved. Although it's time-dependent, you can also complete daily objectives for both your characters: Login just after 7 a.m. (your local time) with your "Slot 1" character, and complete your daily objectives. Then swap to your "Slot 2" character and you'll find that GTA Online has updated them with new daily objectives that you can also complete for the expected rewards. ... sorry that i have to correct again but now you have confused both methods and merged them. there are 2 different methods which have nothing to do with eachother: 1. "character swapping for completing the daily objectives twice a (real life) day" 2. "keeping progress of 28-day-bonus when being absent a couple of days" so here is how i would advice to put it into first post: Character Swapping (completing two sets of daily objectives per day) Although it's time-dependent, you can also complete daily objectives for both your characters: Login within the first hour after the refresh time for the daily objectives (which depends on your time zone) with your "Slot 1" character and then swap to your "Slot 2" character also within that first hour after the refresh time and you'll find that GTA Online has updated them with new daily objectives that you can also complete for the expected rewards. somtetimes you have to wait some seconds with the swapped character to refresh the list.

DentureDynamite Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) @ the nameless: Race link and note added--thanks! Just wish I still had my PS3 to try it out. @ size_m: Notes corrected; though I strongly suspect that R* fully intends for us to be able to complete Daily Objectives on both characters for all platforms. I say that, because there's nothing "illegal" about working to get DO rewards. IMO it's just buggy right now, and I hope it will be fixed with the Ill-Gotten Gains update next week.R* is, after all, the one that created everything: two characters, swapping between them freely, and the Daily Objectives themselves. The fact that DOs even show up for both characters is the best proof of that.What's interesting is that while Daily Objectives unlock at Rank 15, Lamar's "Send muggers after a player" doesn't unlock until Rank 50 (according to IGN's rank unlock list). And one of the DOs is just that--calling a mugger on another player. So theoretically, anyone below Rank 50 could be asked to "Call a Mugger on another player" without having the ability to do so! I trust this bug/discrepancy will also be fixed in next week's update.

DentureDynamite Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) ^^ Thanks for the heads-up; updated with the new link. Also; spotted and added the following helpful tip for "Perform a wheelie for 10 seconds": If you are given the 'Perform a wheelie for 10 seconds' daily objective, you can do it without going to the airport by finding any motorbike, stealing it and shooting out the back tyre. They wheelie continuously but slowly when the tyre has burst. Wish I'd thought of this before, rather than taking a Faggio to LSX. snagged from: Things you didn't know about GTAO until now Edited June 5, 2015 by DentureDynamite Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/783447-daily-objectives-tips-and-tricks/?do=findComment&comment=1067555028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
