NEW WEENY ISSI CLASSIC RACES

[Guest]

^^ And another issue sounding seriously f*cked up. Wouldn't like it one bit.

 

And the ridiculous modder times … why doesn't R* make frequent sweeps on those, on all tracks, or infrequently clearing all tables, thus relaunching the hunt for WRs? It's not as if the Racing Blonde was such a once-in-a-lifetime big win, so why not giving it out more often?

Good luck finding one though. I keep getting set ups for act I & III instead.

 

I eventually got a Rescue ULP, I took it & stuck to the end ... I got a 15% for my trouble.

Yeah you have to be lucky to find the bogdan problem through on call. I got it once yesterday on call and only got 15% which is $280k. The host got $1.6m 85% cut.

Same happened with fleeca, I'd land in the scope out setup up and run the whole way with the host only to get base cut on the finale. Had a couple of people try to give me less.

Soo.... stunt races but with the one new vehicle?

 

Nice, can't tell they're out of ideas.

[Cahill--EFC]

Can we glitch out any parts of the Mini,  like we did with the Panto?

 

With the Panto...…. we could make roof, boot lid, bumpers invisable.

That's why you're better off running your own I have act 2 and humane labs running all together.

One thing the Issi races proved to me, as a Creator, they are SOO getting jealous of community creations. When I saw the scale of Paletto Palace, I instantly thought Rockstar was comparing shlong sizes with their best creator users. Look how BIG my castle is! I admire its scale, but the racing within that castle is very pedestrian. Big giant runoff areas that dont demand good racing skill at all. I could make a new castle now with some quality driver challenges in it, but player creations just get ignored these days, so Im not investing THAT much time to create something on that scale when it gets ignored if it doesnt have 2X CASH these days. 

 

The reward for idiotic track design goes to the Windmill race. That section that sends you straight up, and wants you to fall straight down, reconnect with a small portion of track, assuming you havnt been bumped in midair from the cars going up and falling down, and then make a long jump that requires a ton of speed to make. I quit out of that race after failing the jump twice. #1 rule of track making, dont make stunts/jumps that have a high failure rate.

Yeah, the car is too small for those wide platforms, you feel like you're hardly moving. And don't get me started on the hosts who launch these with 5 and 7 laps, non-custom and with catch-up on...

 

anything more than 2 is tedious

[EggsAndJam]

Played the one with the orange pipes all over it.

Set it to two laps solo just to test it. Got bored after half a lap. R* tracks are bogus, didn't take my finger off the accelerator once.

SOOOOOO boring.

 

Bring back the creator verified contests FFS!!!

[Lonely-Martin]

You know, I've had so much fun this past fortnight with heisting that I've literally only done the one race here, for a world record on Tuesday, that I've just all but forgotten these were added with contact missions being on 2x, lol.

 

I'll definitely have a look at the weekend as I'd love to see more one make races added to the game. Could add to the competition vastly with certain classes having clear front runners.

[StormerBoy]

Is there an award for getting a world record?

Yes, it's called The Record Holder

And perhaps more importantly, there’s even a tattoo for it, namely the Racing Blonde.

 

I wish there were more tattoos like this, that would show true accomplishments. The Racing Blonde one is really the only one I feel like putting on my character, because it’s quite unique, naturally.

Races locked to Michelli GT, Retinue and Savestra would be good.

 

But not stunt races. Street and rally tracks.

Man, can they STOP putting the offices on sale and put something else on sale for once? I want to do my office up, but renovations haven't been on sale for months.

^ And this is particularly cruel, since discounted offices, bunkers, and hangars had many people change locations of their offices, bunkers, hangars, thus losing key upgrades. 

[Gridl0k]

Made me, in a moment of madness, move from my bunker with 500+ resupplies, to which I since moved back. But now another 600 to go for aliens

I had 100+....

But I'd say living in Farmhouse is worth it compared to the annoying drive from Grapeseed.

I don't care for the alien egg anyways. It doesn't give you any special reward like a gold trophy or a Space Docker.... so I don't really care

[Gridl0k]

I tried Chumash and went back to Smoke Tree Road (airfield on my doorstep).

I changed my bunker last year, initially had Paleto bay made over $20million in sales, over 600 resupplies to the Farmhouse. 

Best decision I ever made. 

Now at the Farmhouse, I am at $110 million in sales, it's the best bunker location by far. 

 

For my Hangar, I bought the best day one, Fort Zancundo 3499 and My ceo office has been Maze bank tower also. 

 

Personally I recommend that people should switch to the better locations and just eat the cost of upgrading all over and renovation, it is well worth it in the long term.

A man after my own heart. I spend a lot of time in the creator, and testing user creations, and I agree with you 100% that a successful race has to be fun, fast and frustration-free. I've lost count of how many races I have tried where because the creator can make that jump he has practiced during testing so many times, that the general player base will be able to. It just leads to people quitting at the first hurdle if they can't even get round the track. These races that are skill based seem to lose sight of the fact that it should still be a race, and everybody should be getting round, from level 1's to level 1000's

 

Yes, they have gone all out with these new track designs, but I agree with you, the sheer scale of them gives the illusion that the races are very slow, especially with catch-up and non-custom cars activated.

Be patient Grid, that alien egg mission is pretty fricking awesome...

 

I sure have been having good luck with random during heists. Earlier this week I banged out the Bogdan Problem without failing once with a level 47 with no mics. Gave him 50% because I was so impressed, and a good thing too as I've heard cuts above 60% have been causing issues. Right now I'm finishing up Humane Raid with another batch of relatively low level, very competent players without mics. Lucky me, have made lots of extra cash this past 2 weeks.

These are one of the most boring and bland track designs I have ever seen in this game, and this is coming from someone who used to race daily on Last Gen's community racetracks.

This and last week, pure magic.

 

The stuff with friends aside, as that's always gold. We've been 3 or even 2 only on, (and alone at times), and gone on call or hosted jobs needing a random bod to fill spots. All but the odd exception have really either been off on their own and comfortable, or players willing to learn, or just stay clear/join an experienced player.

 

Just been so calm and enjoyable. So rewarding to mingle with randoms and get a good game of it too.
