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

So, it could be said that you dodged a Bullet?

So the Blista Kanjo is the podium vehicle for this week and guess what? I won it

That's another car I already have and I don't need.

That unpredictable lucky wheel really aggravates me.....

You can just sell the one you already have for profit and keep the one you won.

That's a good idea, I was trying to point out that every time I win a podium vehicle it is always a vehicle that I already have.

Could be worse, it could be a car you have had in the past and found no redeeming qualities to. There's been a few.

Posting the obvious:

Why did the morons at R* choose to kill the NAT type glitch??

Why couldn't they spend their valuable (being sarcastic) time on fixing real screwups in the game. Like getting stuck inside the MerryWeather sub while doing the sonar jammer prep. Or the infamous "R* corona virus" where during certain jobs the yellow destination/target circle doesn't work. OR the lovely new glitch which started when Cayo Perico came out where your personal vehicle spans a MILE away when you call your mechanic. OR the annoying sync issue between the sound and animation when doing Post Op van drops where the sound of dropping the box happens before the animation of dropping the box even starts.

And millions more...

Isn't always worth it though, if it's a car worth millions yes.

But if you only come out with $20k profit or something ridiculous it's better off refusing the reward and starting Piracy Prevention or Fortified while you take a dump

Because it's essentially an attack on the stability of the game, can cause the problems everyone is always bitching about for other players, was a bug that shouldn't have existed anyway, because of something they know we don't, pick your reason.

 

I'm not criticising you I'm just pointing out there's definitely a problem with your game when people are relying on this sort of thing to play it.

Wait, I thought that they first patched this but that players were still able to play in solo public lobbies on XBone somehow? I remember reading that solo public lobbies were somehow reinstated last week or something. So you're saying that XBox players are now forced into public lobbies to sell stuff? I wonder why I can still get into a solo public lobby on the PS4? Or are they going to patch this, as well?

Xbox One players are indeed forced into public lobbies to sell - there are a couple of potential exploits out there (one involving using your phone as a mobile hotspot and fiddling with the connection to force a solo lobby on the xbox) and the other has you connecting online via wifi then plugging in a LAN cable...

And applies also for RDO, I mean nowadays I just play heists and Contact missions for the sake of playing an online game with real people and no a Single Player game with mandatory Internet connection. Yes, you can make profit with solo sessions and sell bunker or MC, but with Cayo Perico, you can make at least a million per hour or so in an Invite only session. The real B&M here is that even when I say "Give me 0% " in a Heist finale they kick me cause' "Y0uRre RanQ 1000 + U mOst Be GaCkeR" Back to public solo I guess....

R*, you cunts. Just absolute cunts. 

 

Gimmie a sec..... 

 

There we go. Uninstalled. 

 

This... this feels really weird. I've had GTA V on my home screen for 7.5 years and over 3 XBoxes. Wait, 4 Xboxes. And now it's gone. Because Rockstar are cunts.

[LostMyR8]

Two players spawn-killed me earlier today via thermals and I land in the same session as them again just now, so they obviously are looking for my off-radar sub.

 

Edit: As I was sitting in my off-radar sub typing this up, they seem to have caught some attention from a group of jets and can't get off the mountains.

Which is ironic, because that's just them missing the forest for the trees, people wouldn't be so inclined to basically play alone in a multiplayer game if R* actually made playing with other players worth your time.

 

If the playerbase wasn't so caustic (because of R* of course) and helping other players actually benefitted you in a tangible way, maybe players wouldn't feel the need to isolate themselves from the rest of the playerbase by using exploits.

 

Now, though? People will still find ways to play alone and game the system anyway, either out of spite or because they have played that way for so long. R* can't win this game of wack-a-mole unless they give the playerbase what they truly want.

I've posted the fix in the general chat previously but I'll put it here too if it's still being discussed.

There are 2 ways. Both required you to be able to cable your Xbone to your router.

 

Set up your wifi.

Pay cabled and join a Public Session then pull out the cable so you drop onto wifi, that usually lags everyone out.

 

Or

 

Play on wifi and join a Public Session then plug in your cable. That is slightly less reliable and can blackscreen you back to Story Mode sometimes. Either way, Ive been doing it just fine every day since the update, so solo Public Sessions are still a thing just like they always have been.

 

In fact, there is an added advantage to this method. Previously I would have to reboot my console to eradicate the NAT test effects to be able to rejoin a public session. I used to do a race or job and it would be unable to place me back in a session because it thought my connection was too slow. With the new method, none of that happens and I can just continue without a reboot.

 

But I agree 100% with Gridl0k that it should all be available in more sensible ways and that the game design is flawed when you are punishing genuinely interested players for the sake of 12yr old tools playing Battlefield in LS.

to all you scumbags out there that want to ruin the fun of other people, why do you it, also directed to ROCKSTAR, why do let it happen and do nothing to stop it, EVERY lobby in GTA 5 online has at least 1 modder/cheater/hacker whatever you want to call it with at least 10 people in it and they dont even try to hide it... this is sickening.  a game that is this big thats been out for so long and the the developer doesnt care, what horsesh*t...  this is an opinion of mine but i truly believe this to be very accurate. 

if a company didnt allow cheating, it wouldnt happen

also you dirt bag cheaters, you wanna mod/cheat/hack, go play a single player game when no one else cares

 

 

[JaeDan 101]

Everyday I struggle from those jackasses because they set themselves infinite health and kill me all the times, remove my weapons, teleport me into somewhere far, freeze my system and spam spawning many game objects which makes my game laggy. I'm sick with these modders.

 

First time, huh?

It's what took me out of the game. I can't even force myself to tune in for free stuff now.

Years of reading this site and I'm still no closer to figuring out why anyone who hates public sessions goes into them and then complains about them. Why are you there? What are you doing? Why did you enter, knowing what they are? Why are you complaining? What do you believe will change?

 

Given that business can be done solo, that pretty much only leaves freemode challenges which, let's be honest, most people tire of after about month one of playing GTA, so what is there in those sessions, apart from 30 people with a shoot on sight policy that keeps you going back?

 

It's just baffling. It's like buying a strawberry milkshake day after day and complaining it's not chocolate when you knew before you bought it that it was going to be strawberry. It's not like chocloate isn't available in Invite Only or Solo Public. It's like some kind of self-abuse then claiming victim status. Victim of what? DONT GO THERE THEN. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Cause sometimes people have friends that want to play with?

Well, some of the public features aren't workable with the old NAT trick. For instance, the MOC missions can only be accessed in public free roam, so you have to go into a public lobby to call your MOC and pull up the missions. However, if you tried this after doing the NAT trick, once you complete the mission it would screw up your connection and you'd have to exit out of the game. Even though it is difficult to destroy an MOC in public, once you leave the mission the game doesn't spawn you next to your MOC or even in your MOC. It drops you several blocks and way and then you have to run the gauntlet to get back to it.

This is just one example of a feature as to why players go into public free roams. Since the MOC missions and the special vehicle missions are essentially contact missions (as in you are not in a public session during the actual mission), these missions SHOULD be accessible in an invite/friends only session.

[Unspoken OH]

This game (I'm talking about GTA Online - not Singleplayer) has become stupid, gimmicky and cringey. It's out of place. If you haven't seen this video, watch it:

The Problem With Futuristic Stuff in GTA: Online (Feat. DarkViperAU) - YouTube

 

This really sums up GTA Online. I hate GTA Online, I hate it, I despise it, I abhor it.  

 

GTA Online has taken a very wrong turn. Thank you R* for screwing this up.

This hunting pack game mode is absolutely garbage. I was trying to play it because it's X3 $ and RP, but the runners vehicle is always extremely underpowered and your teammates who are supposed to protect you are brainless and get in your way more than the blockers. -_-
