Pacific Standard Kuruma method patched?

[PetrolCB]

Walls of text and negativity abounds in this thread. Why is the way some people chose to do this heist a big deal? Some of you are reacting very personally, as if it's some sort of real life scenario. It's patched, okay, so f*cking what? Yeah, it stinks, but move on. Jesus. Some of you are getting such a hard on defending the patch, that you're going to have a coronary. Which may actually be a good thing for society.

Move on guy cracks me up. People talking about this is EXACTLY what these threads are for. It doesn't interest you or you are sick of it, no problem, don't read it. Wishing ill health on people, even if half in jest, is inappropriate at best.

How dare we discuss it it on a forum...

 

Maybe I should have just turned up, made a post that insulted everyone who shared an opinion and laced it with negativity whilst complaining about negativity.

Anybody have issues with the Pacific Standard Heist this past weekend on PS4? On Saturday night, my friends and I had issues restarting at the bikes after blowing them up and committing suicide. Twice consecutively, everybody hit R2 to restart and while it showed everyone hitting R2, someone would get disconnected. I don't know if there are separate servers that host the heists but something was wrong. Maybe there were a lot of people grinding the heist that night. We have not tried it since.

I think you answered your own question- someone got disconnected

im pretty sure he was asking if anyone else had the same issue. Kinda hard to answer that himself ...unless he's schizophrenic!

Yes my friends and i experienced the exact same thing sat & sun. Not sure why but im sure it never used to happen.

Edit: on PC though

 

 

Thanks. Glad to hear that we weren't the only ones. We gave up after two failed attempts. It was late. Didn't try it on Sunday. How many times did your team attempt the heist and failed at the bikes restart point from a player allegedly disconnecting? Curious if Rockstar is messing with the heist.

the same kind of error happened only once with my regular crew and one guy watched the replay to see what happened, we had all pushed restart then suddenly got disconnected as if the host left or something but we were all chatting on teamspeak, no one was losing connection at all.

Then Sunday it happened with some casual buddies and randoms a couple times, could have been something else but it was the same scenario... We all hit restart after blowing up the bikes and suiciding then got booted back to freeroam.

 

I was doing many heists with many people over the weekend, it didn't happen often at all but it was strange since none of us had ever experienced that before.

 

Watch R* call it a bug in the next update patch notes. Yep a "bug" that they made. lol Imagine if they make this happen on purpose to get people to stop dying at the bikes. Imagine if they lowered the pay for "failing" when you blow the bikes up. And people already posting how to use the helicopter. Brilliant idea show more ways on how not to use the bikes. Wait until the next update releases. They could still remove the helicopter, the cop car, and the riot van, and turn traffic off completely to force you to use the bikes. If they remove the helicopter it will probably get removed in that one setup as well. The helicopter falls under an "exploit" as the armored kuruma does. Quotes used because it isn't really an exploit but bad planning on there development team. Just saying the more ways you show how not use the bikes, the more things they may remove.

stupid kids

Yep, this is the reason, for most of the time.

 

One time i was asked by a team, that they will pull off the heist finale in FPV on the bikes and i say let's go - the FPV on bike chasing through the bushes was intense.

 

Most of the time you wreck your nerves with stupid guys if you want just to complete the heist and Kuruma helped a lot in this regard, though.

 

I appreciated the Kuruma glitch, but also believed that the risk of losing money on the bikes is worth the reward of actually having fun and being challenged.

 

 

The risk of losing money isn't fun or challenging when you're on crowd control though, it's just f*cking annoying.

Why is it that there's always some db like yourself who has to spout off about people discussing a specific topic in a relevant thread? Isn't that the simple rules of any forum? And then here you are making a post that not only does not contribute to the thread, but really is nothing but a bitchy rant about nothing. Get a hobby.

 

I'm thankful for people like AIR7 who told a lot of us about the helicopter spawning at Vespucci PD. What have you contributed? Nothing.

We can no longer access our garages during contact missions either, and I'm assuming the same applies for all jobs/heists.

I recall the quote by Lester Crest in "Convoy" preparation mission.

 

"You can try to take them all out at once, you can try really hard and levitate the truck with your minds. This is San Andreas, after all. Do whatever you think will work...(but get the truck and don't let anyone follow it)"

 

So we've been given the freedom of choosing our plans, right - or is that only permitted in Convoy mission?

 

Going furthermore - if we follow the logic of "playing the game as intended", we are still able to stray off the route, when we use the bikes.

We can swerve to the left and go straight to the boat, instead of going to the basejump point.

This way, we can save us a half a minute and fight through the police to get to the boat.

 

If we were going to "play the game as intended", a heist leaving timer will be started every time we "leave the area", when we leave the yellow highlighted route.

 

Hm. Now wouldn't that make your neurons firing, why hasn't this option bothered people like florindony13? I guess you have your answer, but let's continue.

 

As we have already discovered, Kuruma isn't going to save you the time and it isn't going to get you a Elite Challenge, but rather gives you an alternative to the bikes.

 

But how long did it really lasted?

You have got to be kidding me. I accepted the garages being locked during a heist finale.

It's really not that hard to use the bikes w/ semi-competent people.

I won't even delve back into the ever-increasing hotfix limitations.

 

I don't even think they intended to lock us out of our garages for all missions-- it was just the quick and easy fix.

Meanwhile, core network issues are not even addressed.

 

I'm just glad I got a couple seawash tornados while the getting was good.

i don't think it's true, I just went in my garage during a contact mission to test it. Worked fine. (on PC but that shouldn't matter)

You can start your missions from inside your properties so I don't know where this is coming from. You can even start from inside your office and use your assistant to call up some Pegasus vehicles.

When did you test? At the time I posted it wasn't working anymore(I was also kicked out of my office when I launched Chopper Tail). They changed that today. People in the rare car thread are also reporting the same thing. I'm gonna test it again in a few minutes just to be sure.

Edit: Earlier this morning it was working normally.

i tried it about an hour ago in a contact mission named Lost MC R.I.P I think. Walked right in the Del Perro garage from outside, the blue marker was there and everything. I'll try it again I guess.

 

Edit

2x

 

 

I don't play many contact missions anymore but that sucks for other players. Well, I guess here comes another 30+ page thread about how entering all owned properties is obviously a glitch since it is in the PS finale....

So, no farming for Sandkings and Dubsta2 possible anymore, too?

[Tomdon]

The no garage in missions is an attempt to thwart any future money glitches, since their last patch was worked around quickly

At first I was pretty freaked out about the Kuruma method being patched, but if you have 1 person running and then comiitting suicide at bikes, when you respawn, very few cops appear, not even helicopters, as long as you don't shot anymore.

Restarting the mission after runner commited suicide kinda "reset" the cops.

[zecanelao]

Not during missions. For Sandkinks it's not a big deal, but for Dubstas you're running against the clock.

Eh, it's not a big deal unless you regularly spend 10-20 minutes farming in missions.

It's pretty hit-or-miss either way. I can get 4 dubstas in 1 free-roam session or I can get 0 (from 08:00-18:00).

I have pretty much the same results in a mission.

 

Frankly, I've gotten bored of using time-locked missions to farm them when I can get a full garage of them in free-roam. SandKings are a more reliable spawn, any way.

 

It's still really lame that they took away the option. This game is becoming less appealing with each hotfix. I was gonna take a break from GTAO but this pretty much nails it. It's not about, "muh dubsta spawns", it's about the consistent reductions in freedom and choice. Lazy-ass fixes.

[zecanelao]

People are reporting that garage access is back during contact missions. Apparently it was just a temporary change/"fix".

Edit: I can confirm that. Haven't tried any other jobs other than contact missions, though.

I gotta give Rockstar credit for that one. I didn't think they'd bother to fix something like that.

[DominusTaranis]

The only problem I have with this is it's yet again R* making online heists a paler shade compared to the single player set.

 

Yes, I am aware I made a thread trying to get a group together to do this, but I'm less concerned with the fact that it's been patched than I am with being given different ways to complete the heists. By all means, they could have done something like the CEO thing where once you comolete the heist and unlock x vehicle, you can use x vehicle to do the y method and unlock z vehicle.

 

Instead the HEIST UPDATE vehicles are locked out of heists!

And, no, you can't use the justification that "they'll track your plate!" Because it would take two seconds to ditch the plate prior to the heist.

 

No, I haven't gotten over my heist hate yet.

Heist is still patched. I just joined a friend's invite and we had a rank 35 who kept dying, it was painful.

The only ones taking this personally are the ones who laugh now when Kuruma method is patched. Only because they were sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pissed about randoms blowing up the bikes everytime.

 

Did you at least read half of the thread?

Sorry ATeaDaze I lost this quote in my notifications.

 

I think some of the post that followed echoed my response... I would be surprised if garages are locked during CM's but I have still not fired up a CM yet myself to check it out so I would not believe it until I see it, or if there was more of an 'outcry' on here than there has been.

 

Someone mentioned a few posts/pages ago blocking access to garages in CM's was a blanket response to dupes/glitches involving using your garage. IF this is the case then we need to bitch about ourselves just as much as we will bitch about R* if it is true...
