So...anyone else get $30,000 instead of the Podium Car?? I didn't even win the car, just checked both characters.

This happens sometimes, just contact support & explain the situation. Include a screenshot of your character next to empty podium with the interaction menu open (so they can see your nickname at the top of it & compare character to what they can see on their end)

 

I've had the same thing happen in the past (won it but got money and then car vanished from podium) and eventually did get my car after a bit of back-n-forth with support. For this specific week i was actually gonna break my own rule of "no respins" for this car (because i dont have it for any character & its butt-ugly-nose prevents me from paying full price, but also wanted to try it for a while now) but i actually got it first spin, and i did get the car instead of moneys, plus i see a lot of people having won this car too (point is, you definably should've won it as well)

 

A final heads-up: realize that this will likely go to Tier2/Tier3 support, and they will have a proper look at your account, if you're the type of person that does anything shady (heist finale repeats or sketchy car sales or whatever) then make sure they cant see / dont do those until the ticket has been properly handled.

If you're the type of person that does anything shady, I suggest you don't contact support at all (as long as your account is in working order), just do more of that shady stuff until you have enough credits to buy the car full price.

I am never going to bother completing the Cayo Perico heist either alone, with friends or randoms. It's just so utterly tedious drawn out and joyless.

 

It takes an hour to scout and set up (using the Mk2) and execute.

 

Longfin to the airport to fill bag, then to drainage tunnel, and then swim away. It's the easist thing they ever made.

 

If you think it's joyless, you clearly never filled ten large cargo warehouses over and over.

 

I've taken hundreds of millions and still enjoy it.

 

I mean, each to their own but they are literally gifting you a fortune and still it's wrong. Figuring that out is way above my pay grade.

What are the effing chances of getting Mystery Reward on the Lucky Wheel, getting a car reward, and getting the same car twice.
Okay given not in a row, I won the first one last year, but today I won the PANTO of all cars for a second time on it.

I got two Bullets out of it, only kept one though.

Can’t find a thread for this but I love when youtubers make the millionth video about problems with gta online and saying sh*t we all heard for the billionth time, this guy first vid was good but he needs to stop bitching, he really expect rockstar to be his friend and announce gta 6 since he’s a loyal “fan”

Here's a thought, maybe, just maybe, people would stop complaining about the same old issues that have plagued this game for years if R*, I dunno, actually fixed or addressed them?

 

If anything, we need people like YouTubers, streamers or influencers, which have way more influence (pun unintended) and reach than you, me and almost everyone else here, to keep on bringing these same issues over and over so R* finally pays attention to the community's demands.

They've nerfed the MK2 bike several times now, so they ARE listening, meanwhile DarkViperAU should be forced by law to only stream under 'Just Chatting' because all he does in 95% of his streams is b*tch about the game or about politics

You know, at first I though you got two actual bullets that are fired out of a gun from th emystery prize, but then I realized you menat the car.

 

But seeing how the Mystery Prize is, the former wouldn't have been a surprise.

 

Announcer: Congratulations whywontyoulisten, you win the Mystery Prize!

 

whywontyoulisten: Oh cool what do I win?

Both it and the Deluxo need to be de-milled, stripped of all weapons. Then they work. Imagine getting really, really good with the Scramjet and OPMK1 and then these f*ckers drop.

 

Or even better they should bolt little wheels on the OP so people who use it to blow up everything in a session can still wheel around going pew pew i'm bad ass

How is the bug with not getting transported to Cayo Perico still there? It's not like I can restart the mission either, so I'm forced back to story mode and then back to an invite only session again.

 

Also, I wish perpetual misery on godmode morons, particularly those relatively high levels, repeatedly killing low level players. It's sad how they don't know any better and hopelessly  keep trying to engage them in gun battles. I'll usually message them to stay away or get in passive.

They could also give them Buzzard rockets. Nothing in this game ever needed the crazy homing missiles that were introduced with the Ruiner. The sad thing is, the one thing they were supposedly added to counter (the jets), they don't even work that well! A pilot doing tight circles can outrun even the Mk II missiles. Very typical Rockstar--instead of fixing a real problem (jets), they just kept adding stuff and breaking the game further. A pile of Band-aids is not much better than an open wound. In this case, it's actually worse.

[Gridl0k]

Shout-out to literally adding an anti-aircraft defense system that can shoot down a U2 at 90k feet 50 years ago IRL, but not a jet doing 120mph in circles.

 

[Kiethblacklion]

To quote one of my friends when we play this game: "F**k you, Kitty Klaw!" 

Every time we play, we end up on our arcades trying to win at the Kitty Klaw machine. I don't know why, I guess we're just gluttons for punishment. We each have won one of the stuffed toys from the machine, but it seems that no matter how close we get the claw, it just won't pull out any more of them.

Why would you want to take away the most vaulable business tool I have? The thing that gets me cargo quicker than anything else, and sets up Casino and Cayo quicker than anything else? I don't go into public lobbies, I dont grief people, I dont pretend GTA is COD, so why on earth would you want to punish me and ruin my gameplay just because it suits you? Does that sound fair to you?

 

Would you like me to cut my hair differenty, or maybe wear some different clothes too? You know, something you approve of? It is what it is, and I love it and it works for me. Instead of spoiling that for me and all the others who feel the same, why not walk away from it if it's not for you? Unusually dogmatic and unreasonable post for you.

This may be a preemptive B&M. I haven't yet gotten on the game today but I've seen a couple of YT vids that report that R* has patched the NAT type solo public lobby glitch. I really hope that's false. Of ALL of the bugs and glitches in this game that they could fix and improve things. THIS is what they waste their time and resources on?? REALLY? 

I wish I owned stock in Take Two so that I could pick up the phone and bitch to someone in management and actually be heard.

I tried several times tonight and even rebooted. NAT tests didn't work at all. I'm probably done with this game if that doesn't change.

It's a gamebreaker, I've always said it. Best choice in every situation, no reasonable counter, makes a mockery of the map, and it's not even a f*cking motorbike yet there it is in MC spawns. 

 

I don't want to ruin your gameplay, but if you have to start using a Sparrow for Cayo as the price for getting rid of them, eh, I'm in the same boat as you as it were. PS it already has an explosive cannon that requires a bit of skill to use instead of the better-than-aircraft missiles, that would be acceptable to me.

try playing on WiFi and plugging ethernet in when you previously would have used a NAT test

What utter rubbish, you are able to do everything you list without an OP Mk2 using another vehicle. Granted it is a teeny bit slower but not enough to be game breaking for anyone, don't be such a pathetic victim.

Because you're not the only person playing the game. Nobody is arguing that the Mk II isn't super-useful for grinding. Obviously it is. (Although I would argue that the Sparrow and/or Buzzard are at least 75% as good for that purpose, while being far less game-breaking in all the ways the Mk II is.) The big problem with the Mk II is what it does to public lobbies. A smaller, but still real, problem is that the Mk II is unbalanced even for solo play because it's so accessible, versatile, and powerful that it makes almost all other vehicles pointless to own or use. YMMV on how much you care about that. But those of us that would love to see it go bye-bye are mainly concerned about the dumpster fire it turned public free roam into.

 

Lucky for you, Rockstar won't be doing sh*t. They like it the way it is. They explicitly use the thing to sell shark cards.

[Kiethblacklion]

If they truly took away the NAT test glitch, I'm not happy. Some how though, I've noticed that I'll occasionally get kicked into a solo public session without doing anything (it's not because of bad internet, we've got some seriously high speed cable connections). I'm sure though that someone will figure out a new way to get into a solo public session...

Yep, if the NAT stays as it is now (not working) I'm done.

This 100%.  Just tried nat test twice and it’s a no go for me.  If playing in peace either alone or with friends to do business is a non option there’s plenty of other games to take up my time.  Maybe R* wants the player #’s to resemble rdro but they should have learned from that dumpster fire.   

[Gunbladelad]

Yep - the NAT test to get into a solo public lobby hasn't been working for me since yesterday - I wound up getting lucky and selling the MC club stuff that I'd built up for double-sales week (and as long as there's no option to force a solo lobby, I'm unlikely to be doing any sales as a solo player...)

Good theory,

 

Or they are just testing how bad they can mess up the experience for as much people as possible, but still keep them willing enough to swallow the next bucket of manure.
