The B*tch & Moan Thread (Part 3)

[Halal Cyborg]

I own all clothing on both characters and have done for some time so clothing is literally a nothing spin for me...I prefer RP despite my main being 921 and secondary being 271.

Same here. I'd rather get RP than clothing, even though I'm 1156 . Also, there is a satisfaction with getting 15,000 RP on the wheel. RP doesn't "need" to be on there, but it is because... I don't know, it's something?

 

I still see plenty of under level 100's roaming around, even more so than over 130's, so I guess this would be somewhat useful to them. Honestly, I'd rather have them remove discounts from the wheel. What a useful piece of horse manure. 

 

Anyway, I still enjoy getting RP from the wheel despite me being at a rank where nothing is rank unlocked anymore.

I'm more concerned with the bias that 'ranked-up' players show regarding 'Their' game. We were all 'noobs' once. Some players seem to forget that.

 

That's not even the same argument, so no.

 

 

I don't know what the hell you are on but no one is showing bias. Fact is many have shown how new players can level faster then using the stupid wheel. You have to be kind crazy to want to hit the rp on the wheel when there's money and other crap that's a little bit more helpful on it.

That's like saying "What's the point of having money on the wheel when you can just start up a Headhunter or go through a bunch of contact missions? You can earn money faster than using the stupid wheel."

 

The lucky wheel is not there to replace your daily grind. It's just that... a lucky wheel. You may win something that's "meh" or you could win something that's good. But that's subjective, since one person may favor RP over money, depending on their current situation.

The RP thingy on The Lucky Wheel doesn't deserve to be the topic of a major argument like this. It certainly benefits some, but useless to most. Let's just leave it at that.

The wheel definitely seems to reeeeeally know the thing you most don't want and trigger that prize about 90% of the time though.  There is an insane amount of clothing and chips that I've won that I basically never use. 

 

I have won some cool cars from it however [not doing the glitch] including a Turismo Classic and whatever the Diablo classic is when I had not a pot to piss in and the 90s cars are some of my favorites, so I'm glad I've had some good luck there

That is true but the peep I was replying to has a unhealthy love for under-level toons, if you like rp ok but don't come into the B&M and start crap with some one that hates rp on it like he has been doing. A lot of us only get rp and are sick of it.

Was about to get a new quickest lap in the new premium race and a f*cking random goofy pedestrian gets in my way, slowing me down. f*cking hell, there are still peds in races in 2020? What the f*ck are you even doing, Cockstar?

I'm so emotional right now.

If you're going to do 2 X events, make sure they are worthwhile. Just got a magnificent $12,000 on Community Outreach after a restart. WOW. Maybe get rid of the payout penalty for having to restart, that sh*t is just lame.

I am waiting for them to just drop out of the sky in air races or have them just pop out of thin air in boat races lol.

I learned something the other day, specifically for this mission.  I forget where I read it, probably on this forum somewhere...

 

Hint: Don't get the cargobob first.  Instead, even tho the barge location isn't shown on the map, it will be in its usual place for whichever version of the mission you received.  Go to the barge that has your car on it, and kill all the enemies.  The best part is, you can use the Mk II Oppressor missiles, because the car WON'T take any damage from the missiles.   Once you've killed all the men on the barge and tugboat, then go back to the cargobob and fight those guys to obtain the heli...  obviously you can pick up the car off the barge without a fight now.  However, the enemy will still spawn the helicopters for your trip back to your vehicle warehouse.  I just ignored them, and I did fine even tho the barge location was almost in Paleto Bay and my Vehicle Warehouse is about as far away as possible down near the docks of Los Santos.  I just let the choppers shoot at me the whole way.  Its possible they do shoot up the car because I did end up with a larger repair bill than normal from this mission.  I still intent to skip this mission when it comes up occasionally, I just switch sessions immediately to cancel it.  But this tip might come in handy.

 

tl;dr:  Don't get the cargobob first - instead go to the barge and kill the enemies, then go back and get the cargobob.

Another thing or tip involving most car pickups with the cargobob I found best I just figured it out on my own although maybe it's been mentioned. When I'd have a car to pick up I'd kill the enemies then pick it up but then you go straight up as high as possible but make sure not to even inch forward with the heli or they might spawn. Just go straight up, npcs don't spawn until you take the vehicle out of a small radius, that way you can go all the way from way up high gliding downward full speed to your warehouse without anything usually affecting you.

The fact you can't have an active Personal Vehicle and Personal Aircraft at the same time.

This so f'ing much. I bought an Akula while it was on discount last week, my first personal-only aircraft, and I was so disappointed that I had to ditch my car first. It spawns miles away as well, so you have to steal a car to get to it. What a load of crap. For anything other than the most hostile situations the Buzzard is better because you can get in and out of tighter spots and you can spawn it from your CEO menu.

[SlammerRPM]

F&%^ R* servers and their network infrastructure.

I'm so sick and tired of coming back from a job or mission only to be disconnected and sent to story. I said before that it would be a little bearable if they had a retry button. And I saw one ONCE. So it's there somewhere and they could code for that option to be there instead of ALWAYS being kicked to story. So  they obviously intentionally want us to be kicked to story.

Rule #1 of Customer Service: Don't piss off your customers.

I'm a customer and I'm pissed off.

Why can't i buy more than 50,000 chips in the Casino?

Why do i have to wait 48min before i can buy more chips?

 

 

Useless.

It took me forever to buy all items from the casino on my primary including all penthouse decorations...I have managed all clothing and accessories and most penthouse items for secondary buy getting it over the line is horrendous...especially as not all paintings are in the store and appear upstairs when placing items...a collectors nightmare

"Unable to determine a host", then signed out of PSN. Who else is getting this?

[Talisman_83]

If you're in your facility and you have your Avenger stored in there, don't enter it.

When you exit, you won't be able to enter passive.

It'll also persist across sessions.

It'll just say 'you are unable to enter passive whilst in the Avenger'.

 

The only way to fix it is to close the game.

[Arrows to Athens]

What do I do about this problem? 
 

 

It’s been happening everyday now. Within several minutes of being in free roam, the game starts behaving very strangely. Eventually, all players on the mini map freeze, and I am greeted with this error message:

 

 

Then, as it tries to load me into another session, I get signed out of PSN. Rinse, repeat. What the f*ck is going on?

I'm currently locked out of all my vehicles in my Arena storage. I can get the Mechanc to deliver them outside and I can drive them in but my character doesn't even attempt to get into them whilst inside. Has been happening almost every day aswell.

 

I've also been getting a strange animation when changing weapons. Either the new weapon doesn't appear and my character starts moving his hands and arms like he's having a fit or trying to masturbate or only part of the weapon appears. I've mentioned somewhere else that my tank is firing blanks too. All the right noises are being made but nothing blows up, very strange days indeed.

So glad they fixed the voting screens for the Last Play contact missions.

Restart your router. If you were on PC, someone could asshat with your game, but since it's on PS4 (I assume?), and you get disconnected from PSN too, it's almost certainly a network issue on your end. So restart your router and if that doesn't help and you're on WLAN, try playing via LAN cable to narrow out possibie issues. Clearing cache on your console is worth doing as well, and make sure your HD isn't 99,99% full but there's some extra space for game cache.

 

Edit: It's also the possibility of some issue with your HDD/SSD or whatever PS4 is using; if it's starting to break down, when the game can't write/update swap file, I guess it can cause similar jamming, but I would presume the system would say something about that but I don't know PS4's OS much at all so I have no idea how plausible this is. But I'd look into your router first.

Had it a couple of times on Xbox too recently, exact same message out of the blue mid-game. I wasn't disconnected from XBox live though and I just bounced off story mode back into online.

Sometimes you play online and it just treats it like you have dial up internet for a couple hours. With it being peer to peer, if one person joins with bad net, it will make everyone else suffer. Plus now with socialclub being overwhelmed by them making V free on epic, [which was a stupid idea] the connection to socialclub can just get really bad sometimes. Also sometimes the game will have issues staying connected to psn. When you get a mix of these 3, this weird stuff starts to happen. Such as trying to get in a vehicle and you just get stuck, which means you got desynced from the "server".

So has there been a new invulnerability glitch reveal or has every tryhard come back? Because I can barely join a session on PS4 before some twat comes after me with an invulnerable hydra, broomstick or other.

I don't even know if they fixed that hydra invulnerability glitch yet. Could be a new one. Don't remember if fun mentioned that one or not.

I'd check your targeting settings and make sure it says Everyone and not Attackers. How do you know they're invulnerable?
