Because then when I select another mission to play and I want to use the Toreador in that mission (especially if it's a mission where there's going to be a lot of enemies giving chase, which means an opportunity to rack up RP), I have to return the current one to storage, then call up the mechanic, scroll to the Toreador, then request, then wait 5 seconds. Not THAT time-consuming, but still something that I don't want to keep doing. And if I just steal a car off the street to chase the truck, chances are, it'll be slow as f*ck. Just yesterday, I was forced to steal a Landstalker to chase after the truck, and the truck was going faster than me! 

Lol. No, I hear ya. Had to chase the truck down with a damn Cavalcade because I'm stuck to my mk2 broomstick most of the time. And yes it is complete bullsh*t trying to catch it with a street car.

One of my runs, I used an IPC to block the truck and then AP Pistol him out.

[EkaSwede]

Ugh, I feel awful.

 

So I was hunting the Service Rifle parts and I found a crime scene. Since I public hopped I decided to make the location known for others who were looking as well. One guy arrives while I wait for my passive to go away and we both start shooting th ecops. Then he walks in front of my crosshair and I smack him in the back of the head.

 

Knowing that the part sticks around after people have been to it I pick up my final part and apparently it despawned the whole thing for the other guy.  *sigh*

Has anyone else been having an issue getting into their Agency after the CE update? It’s inconsistent but sometimes I can’t get in more than I can. I know the helicopter on the roof is an alternate workaround but it shouldn’t have to be

Sometimes the blue marker doesn't appear, and I can't enter it all. I have to switch sessions.

So 2-players Big Con with paintings can (possibly) be 100% looted with some fast hacking skills, we missed 1 because I screwed a panel (about 30 seconds when I started, I didn't have much faith anyway) .

 

The attempt was almost a perfection, absolutely 0 shots fired and undetected getaway (with a random car passing by) , the wanted level suddently vanishing was the little plus.

Fina-f*cking-lly.

The escape part is always a hit and miss for me for some reason.

 

Like, sometimes it's flawless and everything works perfectly, sometimes I am getting shot at as soon as I move my controller.

I hope they just make it purshable now next week cause im tired of their boring ass f*cking hunting game and i never find it

[Spider-Vice]

These truly can take ages to pop up, only after like 45 min to an hour in a session I got a crime scene pick up.

[Not the specialist]

I stopped playing gta like 2 years ago, but i come back now and then when there is an update or something interesting to try for a week. Now i like that service carbine and wanna have some fun with it.

 

Are those crime scenes easy to complete ? i don't mind a little challenge.

Or are they a f*cking pain in the ass and better not to touch it and move on with my life?

I tried going to the locations at least 30 minutes after joining a session, and it always spawned at one of the locations. 30 minutes is enough.

The crime scenes themselves are easy. All you have to do is just kill the two officers present at the scene, then collect the weapon part, which is on the floor between them. You then get a 3 star wanted level, at which point you can either lose or simply switch session to look for the next part. The difficulty, or the time-consuming part I should say, is actually getting them to spawn. You have to be in a session for at least 30 minutes in order for one of them to spawn at one of the 10 locations. When you do search for them, it can take a lot of flying around the map for a spawn, sometimes requiring multiple visits to the same location. Some of the locations are situated at Blaine County, so you'll be spending your time flying all the way across the map. 

 

It is up to you whether you want to do it or not. There are 5 parts, so it can take hours to do (if you intend on acquiring all of them in one day). What you can do is get 1 part each day rather than try to get all of them in one day. You know, give yourself a break. Otherwise, it's not something you "need" to do.

I've had this idea since those went live but I have just gave it a try last night after seeing some posts here saying that it actually works, I basically went next to a spawn and set mine to be in the last location, then switched lobbies until I landed in ones with the crime scene already there.

 

It sounds like a slim chance but I got 2 of them in what seemed like 20 minutes, then the remaining two shortly after.

[Spider-Vice]

Also is anyone else having random issues with the LD Organics collectibles? Some of them suddenly can't be collected until you restart the app. Creating a new session didn't work. Got 5 remaining but they're buggered.

 

I had the same thing with one in the pier earlier but restarting the game (i.e. closing then going to play again later in the day) worked.

I'm actually collecting them right now. I'm on my 20th one as we speak. I hope that doesn't happen to me later on. That'll be annoying.

I like how one of the LD Organics products are in the trash.

Won't be the only time. Also, have fun finding a white package resting on white objects. I get that they're supposed to be hidden, but hidden packages in GTA3 and VC at least had the courtesy to have a noticable glowing circle around them..

 

Also having to manually pick them up with the press of a button as opposed to touching it was awful.

I definitely didn't find one sachet. It wasn't at one of the spots. I memorized this place so I could come back there at the end. But strangely, in the end, I had all 100 bags collected. I can't explain it, but there was one place that was definitely empty.

So I poked my head out of my Agency last night instead of immediately going into Invite Only, and I was very amused. The Lobby was just full of really low levels that don't know any better and high level players dressed as Tryhards killing each other. I am glad to see that all the sane players are either playing alone in Invite Only or with friends.

 

Let the griefers and Tryhards feast on each other, hopefully they will starve and die off.

Just understand that you are playing different games. Tryhards think that they are "all the sane players", but all the others are idiots, doing stupid and boring farming in single sessions.

I drive around public lobby's for hours without getting bothered.

Those official crews Rockstar created could be a close but not exactly on the dot estimation of how many people play this game at this point in time.

 

 

I thought it was "ded game omglol".

The glowing effect in the old games was actually cool, vice city done it the best, GTAIV's orange one wasn't good.

I don't think it's going to be anywhere close to an accurate estimation of how many people play. I'm barely seeing anyone with those crewtags in public sessions.

It's actually really weird how the LD Organics stuff doesn't have the glow effect, most other collectibles do. A lot of them blend way too well into things and are way too hidden to just find without the help of a map.

 

Meanwhile I finally got the Service Carbine. Very nice little gun but holy sh*t the process of getting it was gruelling, after the 20 minutes I kept going around all of the spawn spots and it just never popped up until like the 3rd try sometimes.

There's all the other "casuals" who won't necessarily join this kind of thing as well.

I saw them, I joined the crew and messed around in public lobbies both and saw them.

 

Like I said, it's not accurate but it sure does shows the interest in the game, why would anyone actually join those crews if there wasn't an interest in the game?

Despite getting all the parts for the M16, I still had a crime scene spawn for me yesterday while I was collecting the LD Organics products. Since I had already obtained all of the parts for the M16, I was able to collect some money instead. I think it was 10k? I thought the crime scenes would stop spawning after you acquire the M16, but it seems like they're permanent events like the Smuggler plane/flare, metal detector, exotic exports vehicles, etc. 

Edited August 29 by Arrows to Athens

[Spider-Vice]

Nope, the Crime Scenes still spawn and you can get the briefcase with GTA$10K, but also 3 stars.
