R* currently working on making Solo Public Sales not possible.

[SHADOW OPS]

I'm pretty sure R* F meant they're working on blocking the ports to stop the solo session tool from working.

 

Because MTU on ps4 still works.

Freezing/unfreezing on PC still works.

 

Selling in public sessions is working like before. So 20 pages of anger and name-calling did pretty much nothing but repeat the same thing from the "Petition" thread.

 

So time to close this myth?

I concur and I move to strike your honor.

If it's still possible then yes, close the myth, and 20+ more pages of the same pointless crap from other topics... although, as one closes, someone will open up a new one.

[SHADOW OPS]

Well that's true. This is just another variation of a b & m thread.

[Pocket Fox]

I think R* actually managed to in some way address the solo player thing. As some of us solo players have said (like myself) I'd be happy with a % cut.

 

Smuggling DLC I think sorta achieves this. 80 mins of smuggling contraband and I can sell it for a whopping 100k .... I could get 100k profit for ONE I/E car and 1 VIP headhunter which would take 20 mins not 80 mins.

 

But your smuggling cargo goes UP in value if you blow up OTHER peoples cargo, something solo players cannot.

 

So perhaps in R*'s mind this addresses the issue for them of solo players for THIS update.

 

It's still not what many would like, such as these missions with friends only. But you can see R* reducing the gains solo players can make.

[BullseyeSBT]

Myth busted?

 

 

People are saying that destroying other players' stock increases your own.

I hope they didn't patch solo sessions because now I most certainly do not intend to do Smuggling missions in public sessions.

 

Cool, I hope this is true, it will put some pay to all the complaining that stock destruction is trolling. Now there is a real purpose behind it.

 

As usual, the typical griefer who is looking for more excuses to be a dick is wrong. No, you don't get rewarded with crates for destroying other people's crates, but you can keep them for yourself by killing whoever is carrying it and stealing it for yourself.

 

Not surprised to see ragedandcaged liking your post.

 

Isn't that the case with vehicle cargo?

I'm not sure how saying "I hope this is true" (ergo: I don't know the truth behind this matter yet) is me being wrong, but hey, I'm happy to steal them too.

[BullseyeSBT]

So let me get this straight, other players are encouraged to kill the player selling or fetching supplies in order to steal them, rather than blowing the supplies up? so like in vehicle cargo... if you pinch a car from another player in the session while they're doing a sell or source run you can take it to your warehouse? is it like that?

So 4 supply missions at 20mins each sells for 100k? If so I think I'll pass as far as it being part of my money making. I'll do supply missions for the discounts then close it down.

 

Back to I/E in a few weeks.

 

If there was no business attached I would still have bought the hanger and aircrafts.

[lll-H-I-M-lll]

Currently doing this ''new'' work in a solo lobby i honestly can't see how anyone will get far in a full lobby

 

Only takes one good hydra/lazer pilot to wreck things i of all people know this

[ALifeOfMisery]

So, solo public looks to be safe for now. I expect this thread will be locked in the near future.

 

Maybe the mods would allow a solo player discussion thread? To cover this issue if/when it resurfaces, along side all other aspects and pitfalls of solo play.

[ash-274]

I am seeing players in my 576 lobby and staying there. Rockstar has worked on it, but so far I can still do business. I started out in a true public lobby and wasn't able to make deliveries 67% of the time.

I've just had chance to log on in my lunch break at work. 650 MTU. Three attempts to actually get into a lobby, once in another player joined but as soon as they were close enough to be on my minimap I/they lagged out.

[BullseyeSBT]

That's interesting to know, though I will give it the benifit of the doubt & try a packed lobby, I've been in some sensible ones lately..

[Furry_Monkey]

For the people suggesting this thread be closed and the rumour debunked, did the rumour state it would be part of this update? There's no reason to assume the two would take place at the same time, or that the update not including said "fix" means it's not being worked on for an upcoming release.

[BullseyeSBT]

I hear you.. although I did think maybe they were working on getting griefing to stop, which kind of makes sense as now they don't get rewarded for simply blowing stuff up, they have to steal it from the player, which would buy the CEO & associates a bit of time to either take out the 'rival' & get their stuff back or both.. probably won't pan out that way in most scenarios..

 

& they could have easily had us wait a few more weeks to get the "fix" ready to roll out with Smugglers Run.. but they didn't..

 

Just a thought..

Cool - thanks. I wasn't aware that had been prophesied.

FYI, xb1 method of connecting via wifi loading in then plugging via ethernet cable still works. Solo for the past 10 min.

 

I have said it before but any work to fix the connectivity is a good thing, but R* will never be able to totally fix solo publics as it is a feature of the game. I.E. they built the network without planning for FM to be the place where the most money making happens.

You can still find empty lobbies as well, though another thing I used to do is just wait for a lobby to empty, this of course with better matchmaking(finally) seems to be harder, but so far I have had success sourcing in doing pretty much everything in 30 player lobbies, seems to be peaceful for now.

[Guest]

They haven't fixed solo publics.

 

Tested it when I first logged on, bought the Hangar and moved my Pegasus vehicles to it in an empty public, not one person joined. Crew member came on, they joined me, no issues, no others joined for the hour we were just dicking around in the new toys.

 

Left in public overnight while AFK watching monitors in Bunker to turn stock to product, nobody else in the session this morning, no indication of others joining through the night.

 

They may have been trying to stop it, they may not have, we only have RF's post to go by. Either way, solo pubs are still working and these 22 pages were pointless.

I suspect a lot of players are currently busy doing steal missions to obtain discounts.

 

I know I'll be doing the 42 steal missions to unlock all discounts and returning to I/E to make money.

 

Give it a week or two and all he'll will break loose and by the end of the drip feed when griefers can potentially get their hands on a Lazer that is faster, even more agile and has countermeasures, well, that's sh*t hitting the fan time.

 

Thankfully we still have solo lobbies to sell in.

'Tested'... Lol... You mean, your tirade and constant accusations flaming this entire topic we're a waste of time... 100%, Mr. 100%...

 

Happy selling all. Them putting restrictions, or the potential for these restrictions would, IMO, be a huge step backwards. Still nothing to bring me rushing back, as we can see by Demonic's 'testing'... Or cheating, as he called it all prior to this comment, it's just yet another rehash of what's already here... It'll be there if and when... Until next time...

 

Peace out.

Wow, I really have upset you somehow haven't I? You give off the impression of jealousy to my 100% claim from a month ago... Seriously though, why be a dick when my last post was clearly an attempt to inform and possibly help even those who are on the other side of the other discussions?

 

Scurry off to whatever you play now and leave that green eyed monster elsewhere or drop being a dick and discuss maturely.

 

FYI I did not say, nor imply, that I carried out any supply runs while in an empty session, I was merely commenting on the fact that the solo public glitch is still possible and other players do not enter the session.

 

And yes, the 22 pages here were pointless since it's all a repeat of what's been said in the petition topic. Almost 400 posts were made before I involved myself here too, my "tirade" began two thirds in to the topic...

nothing has changed. i'm in a legit mtu 1500 dead loby. (i may have carpet bombed the occupants)

[BullseyeSBT]

I was in a packed lobby tonight, but I had to bail into a solo pub as there was a hacker freezing everyone.... so I had no choice.. apart from anything else his next move would have probably been money drops & RP manipulation which we know will get your money wiped, having that little escape solved the issue for me... I later invited some friends to repopulate it with sensible people

 

 

Thank god for solo pubs eh
