Ok I'm getting to the point where I'm ok 8 out of 10 bunker deliveries are f*cking buggies. But for f*ckS SAKE COULD I STAY CONNECTED TILL THE END OF THE DELIVERY?!? This has happened 5 times in the last week. 

 

This sh*t is why I ALWAYS put myself into a private public session when I play. I don't know why but GTAO is borderline unplayable for me due to this. Like, five minutes in a lobby is considered a success by me because of this nonsense.

What is it with some players that they see a player across the map by themselves and they feel the need to travel all the way and kill them?

I was in a fun seesion the other night where a modder had showed me how to glitch in the aircraft carrier. But only I can see it. it spawns at the location from the Hydra mission. I was happy exploring around the carrier when some red dot flies over and tries to crash his plane into me. Fortunately I was able to get to a safe place where he couldn't get to me.

A while later after practicing some takeoffs and landings a different modder (a kid called dashie mods) comes into the session and says "SlammerRPM. What are you doing out in the middle of the ocean?" He teleports next to me and he falls through the deck. Gets mad and then starts spawning in all sorts of junk and aircraft on top of me and crashes my console. I've seen this dashie mods kid before and he likes to screw with people for no reason.

I stand corrected, thanks!

 

I heard about it, but never actually saw it happen until last week.

 

SecuroServ let me down when I needed it the most lol.

r* seriously need to fix this ASAP!!

came across another god mode player. I basically killed this guy because he tried to kill me while he was on his oppressor but his aim was so atrocious, so I fired a homing missile at him and I got him, so me and him engage in a few gunfights even though he gets at least 2 more kills on me, he still has the need to use the god mode glitch I f*cking dont understand these people, they dont like winning or losing...

The tires move even if you're stopped or if it's off, come on how do you let that crap get out.

That's a little glitch spot where you can't be shot out from, but a rocket may kill them.

[gtafan26]

I didnt partake in some of last weeks sales, my moan for today.

[DominusTaranis]

I decided to take my scramjet and roam around outside of passive in a public lobby. I haven't been out of passive in public in probably a year but I thought, eh, what could the worse be?

I decide to go be nosy and poke my head around and watch this MC crew that invited me. On my way there, I partook in a "longest jump" challenge. The pings they had for their weed were gone and I shrugged it off and went to the last place I saw them. I stumbled across an Akula, which was odd, and then, in a barn, I found two, running, Western Baggers. I put two and two together and left the area and my suspicions were confirmed when the jump challenge ended and their weed pinged again, exactly where the Baggers were.

I had ample opportunity to nuke those Baggers, but I hang off and watch from a rooftop a fair distance away. I doubt even the OP scram missiles could ping from that far and I had them off anyway. I'm just chilling, watching traffic, when an Akula explodes me.

So I chase down and explode one of their bikes, and then the second bike survives a second explosion that somehow kills me. So I start driving back down into town with a stolen car to get my Scramjet back, passive again, and the f*cker in the Akula follows me and blows up my stolen car. when I get out to summon my scramjet.

Look, buddy, you started this, no need to be salty.

Oh, and, of course, they go off radar and hunt me with Akulas and whatever else the f*ck. And then the guy pusses out, nabs a jet and bales out the instant I get a lock on because he can't hit me for sh*t since he's a missile spamming scrub. You still died, buddy. Your stats and numbers don't mean sh*t when I know I shot you down with a ROCKET CAR. Puss

Well. This is a unique one for moi.

 

Saw a funny thread, started typing a lengthy-ish reply to enlighten some ignoramuses (if that is a word) and finished it. Hit the post button. It's just been locked maybe minutes before.

Yeah, I know that it's just a moderator doing their job. But I'd spent a little while making the post and explaining things that likely hadn't been considered by a decent number of posters in the thread with the intention of making an actual contribution to the topic. Admittedly, one laced with a trace of sarcasm but ultimately more informative/argumentative than hostile - which is not what I can say for some other "contributions".

 

The language and back-and-forth discussion also did not seem any more intense or heated than that of other threads I've read in the past that were NOT locked. But perhaps it's just because the subject is more touchy than violence and there's a fear of some backlash from somewhere. Understandable but disappointing.

 

File that under reasons why one might want to run a forum themselves, I suppose. Getting the final word in instead of being locked out from the discussion right before you would have contributed to it.

Oh well, it was still fun to read the silly thing. Good morning, GTAF!

 

EDIT: I don't know if this is irony but.. almost the exact same thing happened to me again just now. But on the steam forums. Finished typing a post, tried to publish it and bam! Error. Refresh the forum and the thread is nowhere to be found, possibly deleted by a moderator since the OP was telling people to post negative reviews of the game in question. I should really stop finding these hot button threads and trying to set any type of record straight. I can only get a word in if I act like many other posters, which is short posts with little information, a tweets worth of personal attacks and no real arguments. Bleh.

2 electronic sh*t radio and yet still no oasis, neil young, nirvana, blur, rush, pink floyd, alice in chains, soundgarden, the who, local h, toto, sonic youth, the white stripes, rooney, REM, audioslave or even muse!

Is it that expensive to get a real rock music in to GTA? Customer is king my ass, kontol pao it is

[RyuNova]

I'm not being funny but if a game like DB Xenoverse 2 can implement a system that detects edited and added files to your game installation and disables your ability to go online until they are removed then I am sure R* can do the same. If you remove the anti-cheat software then your ability to go online is disabled as well.

You need a virgin install to go online. Even colour swaps disable online.

Sometimes I think that R* wants people to cheat as they know people will use their God Powers to screw other people over and frustrate them into buying Shark Cards. Just like it amazes me how Youtube channels that show glitches, exploits and stuff are still around. Honestly just type "GTA Online Money Glitch" into Youtube and ban the first fifty results. Its not hard. But no, it seems like R* does not mind.

It baffles me how they can ban people like @Powerpuff for twisting the system and yet people who openly promote exploits are free.

Nightclub promotion work should always fill out one fifth of the popularity bar. That's it. No less. Running our arses off around town just to get a boost to popularity which is gone in (what feels like) minutes.

Max popularity gives us a whopping ten thousand dollars per in-game day. Whoop de damn doo. With the tragically slow stock build up in the warehouse levels I don't think this is too much to ask for.

I'm afraid 1/5 wouldn't be enough considering the payout. During double money weeks, maybe, just maybe it wouldn't be a waste of time, but otherwise, I can't see it being even remotely profitable. Headhunter can take 3-5 minutes and pays 20k immediately, new client jobs don't require much work and pay 30k, selling a Sentinel XS at LSC gives you 15-18k, and if ou're lucky and a Dubsta 2 spawns, that's 22k. Heck, even doing a supply mission for a biker business or a bunker isn't a terrible idea, since some of them can be done pretty quickly, in matter of few minutes.

 

The only way popularity would be useful, is if it had effect on your storage's production, increasing its speed by few percent, or providing extra few percent to the total value during the selling mission. That, naturally, on top of each promotion mission being worth 1/5th, not 1/10th of the popularity bar. Maybe then the second bartender upgrade would be worth anything.

[Gridl0k]

Us: More contact missions would be cool

Rockstar's f*cked-up monkey paw: Here's 6 new ones but they will be the ONLY ones you ever manage to quick join ever again. PS wait for the vote screen lol.

Seven in game days for seventy grand? Nah mate. Thats over five IRL hours. You might interest me at a quarter million. I can make 1.25 million in that time plus what ever my Techs and other Businesses make. Don't send me on ten/fifteen minute long missions putting up flyers and pay me more and we might have a deal.

Dont like it? You know where the door is.

R* - Heres some new Free Roam Missions...
Us - Sweet!
R* - Buuuuuuut you need to buy the Terrorbyte

Us - Damn,..okay
R* - Buuuuut you only get four of the six missions until you spend another million on upgrades. And two of them require another person and the pay its split between you.
R* - Thats a bit sh*tty, why would you do that?
R* - Because f*ck you give me money! Thats why.

Oh and enjoy teaming up with a randumb who will either idle throughout the mission or troll you by running you over.

There's no reason to require 2 players for these missions.

As annoying as it is, Diamond Shopping and Targeted Data are probably the best Client jobs for making money. Diamond Shopping can be done in less than 3 minutes solo, and Targeted Data less so if you have someone ready in a Buzzard waiting for you to finish the hack.

 

With that said, it's a bit of a shame we only got 6 new missions out of that considering how much Paige whines and wails on us for not using it for 5 seconds. "Lots of scores"? Yeah... like... six of them. And even then only FOUR of them pay good. The other two the payment is split!

 

My own B&M. Festival Bus is fine, but I really wanted there to be a VIP work connected to it.

[No Homing]

^ agreed. Fully Loaded for the Hunter would be great.

 

I think I heard R* can add anymore mission to the list of VIP work.

 

All you really see is Executive Search, Piracy Prevention and Stand Your Ground. Often ran by tryhards to bait noobs for easy kills.

Whatever R* would add, would die out pretty quick unfortunately.

The new client jobs pay pretty good, yet I rarely see them now. Same with Business Battles, really fun, and 20k for delivering both goods is not bad. Yet hardly anyone participates.

Most people seem to stick to whatever they've been doing for the past few years.

Some variety would be nice. I enjoy beating other people at their freemode missions.

[Dburger]

To TDM hosts...if we’ve all been f*cking waiting in this lobby for 15 minutes and you still haven’t gotten 30 players to join, then maybe you should take a hint and realize that we just won’t have 30 players for this TDM. You don’t f*cking need 30 players to have a good TDM, holy f*ck. 

[FukNRekd]

In a lobby today there were 3 or 4 people on the north shore of LSIA with a couple jets strafing them.

 

They. Never. Died.

 

[SuperJude™]

This fanbase has really taken on the whole whine about everything philosophy. 

 

Things that have been part of GTA Online and really GTA in general are now apparently reasons to message people with angst filled messages. 

 

WTF happened to you all? 

 

Someone just messaged me to "play nice" 

 

 

Seriously. 

 

I suggested he play Candy Crush. 

 

Unless I missed something and all the guns and rockets and fighter Jets and death motorcycles (now with ability to fly !) and knives and sticky bombs and tanks and everything AREN'T there to kill people with? 

 

If your whole game is predicated on grinding and being "left alone" then go invite only or find a solo lobby.

[Arrows to Athens]

So this tryhard is in a chrome jet killing everybody with a bounty on his head. I come in my MKII to try and take him out, and he ends up dying. He spawns on the ground, and every time I would fly over him, he would insta kill himself. He killed himself about 4 times before slapping a bounty on my head and leaving the session.

 

So I'm trying to take out these other bounties in the session when suddenly, I get obliterated by the tryhard who happened to rejoin the session via a friend and warp to his facility.

 

 

Thing is, I didn't even get a kill on him. It seemed like the fact that I was TRYING to kill him is what made him salty. I didn't know a game could make someone that upset.

 

And, of course, he left the session straight after the orbital strike. He knew it was a cheap kill, so he left the session to avoid being called out on it. Anything to get the "last kill", I guess. It's the only way they can sleep at night.

This bloody game.

I do a Bodgan Problem with a random guy, finish shooting down the helis with nearly zero damage to the avenger, get up from the chair, screen goes funny, mission failed avenger destroyed.

Hit restart, I enter the back of the avenger, infinite blackscreen.

Its getting to the point where I start to wonder why I'm still playing this broken piece of game.

Speaking of floating above the ground...

Anyone else notice that the white lines and other markings on roadways are floating above the actual road?

I mean, you can drive over them and see the bottom of the tire going through the texture. Surely all they have to do is lower the texture so it's pretty much on top of the road?

I'm not sure if this applies to all markings across the map, but I've noticed it way too often, so it must be a common mistake.

It kind breaks the game for me some what lol, idk why but just seeing it makes me stop and wonder how they keep a job.
