The B*tch & Moan Thread (Part 3)

[Dr.Rosenthal]

Seems my PS4’s Bluray player has given up, and GTAV/O is like the only game I have on disc. It’s been sitting inside the system since 2014 pretty much..

 

But yeah, it seems like I’m going to go on a vacation from LS until it’s time to rejoin all over again on PS5.

 

With $143M sitting in the bank.

Yeah f*ck that mission. I feel sorry for a rookie getting stuck in the infinite spawn kill loop.

 

Yeah that happened to me once when I had first purchased my arcade and was really inexperienced. This was like a few weeks into when I first started playing GTAO with a friend I met on here, @xInfected_Virus, whose Solo Money Making guide is awesome, by the way. Anyway, on topic, I did my best. I eventually found a way to make it through...somehow. Even with the ridiculous spawning me right in the thick of it. I forget how I made it, but it may have had something to do with just killing literally one or two guys every time I re-spawned, right before they killed me lol. It took a very long time. If I knew then what I knew now, I would simply have just either try to go to my pause screen > Online > Find another session. Failing that, I would have just force closed the game and restarted. I was quite honestly way out of my depth. I hadn't even purchased all the better weapons, forget about upgrades at that point! Now when I get that mission, I just fly in their with my Oppressor MK II and make short work of the goons.

 

You want to know what else gave me a HUGE problem when I was completely new? This was literally 4 months ago, by the way that I started playing GTAO. When I first bought my Farmhouse Bunker, and I had first come across the mission where you get an Insurgent and have to make 5 stops with all the Merrywheather assholes on you. I just kept on dying, re-spawning, and killing a few guys before dying again, re-spawning, and repeating the whole fiasco. Bear in mind that, back then, I didn't realize I could enter the passenger seat by holding right on the D-Pad, Hahaha.

 

Anyway, true story: for all the constant talk about griefers in this game, when this was happening to me, I was literally getting my ass handed to me at every stop. Some random player jumped in and started helping me fight them. He must have seen my low rank and complete inability to really fight properly, and he took pity on me. I was so new, I wanted to thank him, but didn't realize you could text people in the game or that they could text you. I tried looking for him in "Players Met" to friend him, but he left so fast after he helped me get my bunker money, I never got to say thanks. If I could find this guy and say thanks now, I totally would. Its nice to see that some people play this game not to grief others or to try and ruin their day.

The MC businesses absolutely have chain raids. I’ve had it happen to me where I defended coke and then meth got raided and then weed got raided etc. And I am always in a session by myself so it’s definitely not people messing with me. The old raid system they had was so much better but then they randomly changed it to make raids happen more often

Another way they are slowing down legit money?  Funny they are that worried about raids meanwhile players can still spam the heist finalies over and over again.

The first time can be really confusing, yes. But then I discovered that all I need to do is jump on the MG and shoot them all to pieces - EZPZ. Of course, now there is a new problem in some of those missions where the MW will circle the map around you for minutes and if you go after them they will slowly spiral down to the drop point anyway, but still wasting you like 3 extra minutes. Really annoying.

Yeah, that is very annoying. So I just call in my Oppressor at every stop and blow them all away easily. I park it right next to the driver's door of the Insurgent, because the Merrywheather goons sometimes spawn right next to you, which is really cheap, by the way.It does take  lot more time doing it my way, but its actually a lot of fun, and a good chance to reduce stress by channeling my inner psychopath. I will say that I don't always have the time to do a 30 minute mission, even though it usually takes around 15 minutes. So sometimes I will just find a new session the second I get the 30 minute Insurgent mission, and it only costs me $10K to take the easy path.

This is just a personal choice, but given all the awesome and legit ways to make money in this game, I have culled the things I am willing to do versus stuff that I consider to be a waste of my time and energy. I own and upgraded all my MC businesses, but I never resupply them. Ever. I forget what the numbers are, but I remember about a month or so into playing this game, it became apparent with some quick arithmetic that the payout of the MC businesses, after paying $75K for a resupply, was just not worth the effort. With a $75K investment and sometimes one bar of re-supply only, it took way too much time. If I remember correctly, and its been a few months since I last did these, it was like $50K or $75K cleared once I subtracted the initial re-supply investment. Then adding the possibility of two vehicles for one re-supply, or that God-awful UPS truck, which is slow as s**t, I just don't bother with them anymore. By the way, the caveat here is everyone should decide for themselves what is and is not worth their time. I'm sure that for every guy like me, who refuses to do these MC businesses (lol especially Documents and Weed!!) there are some who either enjoy them or find them worth their time.

 

The last time I did these sell missions was way back when they paying double for a week. Even then, they felt really tedious and long for the money. The Bunker I still do, using AFK solo method, and it is worth it to me, since I can clear an easy $135K for usually about 5 to 15 minutes worth of work. Hell, if you get lucky, with a one drop-off mission that's really close, I have done it in just around 2 minutes. lol Plus, I find the bunker sell missions a lot more enjoyable than the MC businesses somehow. Not entirely sure why. But they are actually a lot of fun for me.

 

As for your point about Casino Heists Spamming, I couldn't agree more. And I am speaking as someone who has spent the last 4 months, along with @xInfected_Virus, spamming them. I came up with a lucrative system that he is incorporating into his guide, where each of us does all the preps for our own heist at night, then we get together and blast out two heists (has to be Silent and Sneaky and Big Con only), and combining that with AFK Solo with both my Night Club and Bunker, and after only 4 months of playing GTAO, I have been able to pretty much stop grinding as of a month ago or more. With money for Elite, which we get more than 50% of the time, depending on the helicopter spawn atop the police station, I can make easily between $3.5 and $4 Million a day, with no grinding out money. Unless you count doing Casino Prep missions every day lol, which I suppose you could rightly call me on.

Completely agree with the bit i cut out (MC is mehhh and not nearly as profitable as other stuff) but concerning the bit i quoted, im like 99% sure @Xiled is talking about the finale repeat glitch people do where they disconnect at a specific moment during the final heist cutscene, on consoles that means crew gets paid but host gets not (? thats what i keep hearing anyway, i dont have a recent console) for PC everybody gets paid. Then when host lands back in freemode they still have the heist finale ready to launch again.

I'm seeing all sorts of lovely bugs in casino heist recently, and so far every time i got the host to speak they admitted to having been repeating that finale trough the above trick. Its no secret that R* has known about this since they re-introduced the glitch with the doomsday heists, and its currently looking like they're finally trying to patch it (obviously because of the impending re-re-release)

 

 

 

[ChiroVette]

Thanks for the info, @suicidal_banana. I thought that the only exploitable heist glitch was that one some people are doing with the Bogden finale. Seriously, I think people who use exploits like that are out of their minds. Even if the chances of getting caught and banned or reset are slim, it doesn't seem worth it to me. Games like GTAO have a huge time-investment in developing one's save, and unless someone is so early in their character's development that they have little to lose, it seems really foolish to me. I steer clear of glitches and exploits, because even after only 4 months of playing GTAO, my character is incredibly well developed, which came at the price of at least 2 full months of grinding like a b*tch! It would be crushing if my character was reset. lol I think if you put a gun to my head, I would actually prefer to be permanently banned from GTAO than to have my progress and money reset to zero. At least that way, I wouldn't be tempted to start the whole insane grind-fest over again.

 

I am already paranoid enough just using AFK and Solo Public Lobbies, which I don't think I have a chance of being banned for. lol Unless I am wrong.

The entire premise of this mission is to steal weapons that can't be traced back to you or Lester and yet you are stealing them from a high security facility and then you're in a 4 star police chase for 30 minutes. That completely contradicts the premise of the mission. It would have made more sense to steal weapons from the Ballas or Lost MC not from Zancudo, where you have to kill military personnel in full view of everyone.

If only we knew someone in game that was able to manufacture weapons and wouldn't mind if they didn't have traceable serial numbers etc. on them...

Since when did Time To Get Away (where you rescue a guy from the farm at Paleto) give you a three-star wanted level the moment you start shooting anyone?

 

There are game breaking bugs all over the place but what R* spend their time doing is tinkering with missions that no-one but low levels play unless there's double rewards.

Played the lucky wheel maybe 5 days in a row and won RP every time.

Ya they tend to do that way too much and I play old missions as well to get money to avoid freeroam garbage. As an example I noticed right away when they changed things for me was on The Lost Santos Connection (Was a good grind) and Mixed Up With Coke.  Those two were my go to for years. Now I don't do Lost Santos Connection because they seemed to have changed the pay outs from how fast or slow you do it and the max pay seems lower for the amount of time it takes than MixedUpWithCoke. Also they made the plane take off faster at the end instead of taking off slowly, it's already in the air and is really fast once you pick the drugs (which it tells you do but it doesn't let you know that you can just destroy them instead without going into the hangar...) The leer jet almost outruns you in most air vehicles on that mission if you don't get it fast.

 

Luckily the only thing they did in MixedUpWithCoke was make all the enemy SUVs spawn instantly shooting absurdly fast with the Buzzard now autoaiming (It's non stop SUV chaos though, pretty funny). A noob it would be terrible for them, I use my CarboBob and a Rhino to get around it but I feel bad for new players trying to have fun. It would be a spawn kill bananza I guess. Also they made the freeroam bunker supply missions have police on top of players and gang enemies that were already are after you, so now they work together which wasn't a thing in early days it's sneaky stuff. This all through out playing GTAOnline personally was what made me realize they could fix a lot for players but they only do what they see as useful to them. I was on a assumption they wouldnt touch older stuff because it may cause chain reactions but I was proven wrong when this stuff was "changed for the better" they took the time to F... their players.

I thought everyone just put a sticky on it before even going into the hangar.

As said above, you can put a couple of sticky bombs before raiding the hangar or, Do what I like to do, arrive with a savage, and blow everything with the explosive cannon. I even destroy the airplane before raiding the hangar, I think is faster and you can go and pick up the drugs if you want those extra $.

I've been trying to make a Playlist with some of the best missions to go for a nice solo grinding, but despite I've marked all my fav mission for this purpose It seems that I cannot add them to a playlist unless I play them so I can add them from "Recent Activities" man, that sucks. I remember that I could create a playist without having to play each mission I wanted on said playlist.

What also sucks making those contact mission playlists is that when you finally get a playlist with the jobs in the right order, the moment you save it it shuffles the order once and every time you try to fix it, it just reshuffles it again. Really f*cking aggravating.

I love how the game crashes everytime I enter my apartment during a contact mission. Are they doing this on purpose so players can't idle afk to avoid the upkeep costs?

It's quite annoying playing "A Titan of a Job" with noobs or players in missile equipped vehicles that are trigger happy. They blow up the damn semi-truck, making it nearly impossible to move the cab without a boopy gun. Then some players jump in to pilot the Titan before I can get to it, crashing it with the truck cab, thus destroying the plane. 

 

Dude, chill. Let me drive the semi over to the side before you f*cking destroy it.

Lol im having a blast playing these old school jobs with 2 high level mates the past few days, we all take scooters and only use pistols, and its a lot of fun, bonus fun comes from random low levels joining and getting annoyed that we dont care for their tank or whatever vehicle that could make the mission faster

I am sure there's an inverse correlation between intelligence and riding an OPMK2, decided to have a nostalgic play on some missions yesterday with starting in a random one (dunno the names of the missions).
1 - Martin mission where you have to go to his mansion to Merryweather depot. One player shoots over in his Mk2 and the mission is completed before anyone else has even driven half way through the city.
2 - Mission where you have to steal 3 bikes from the lost caravan camp. Idiot shoots over there in his Mk2 and starts blowing up the bikers, destroying one bike in the process.

3 - Mission where you have to liberate some van with drugs. Idiot shoots over there in his Mk2 and starts blowing up gang members - including the vehicle we're supposed to steal.
At which point I gave up and went back to freeroam.
