They need to up the CEO/MC number on E&E

 

Also if they insist on keeping it pathetically low, at least have a inactivity cooldown that boots out their status. Only fair if you boot others when they change sessions and the 'full' session has them just scrambling about not even doing MC/CEO sh*t

They need to up it badly, it's flipping crap when half of them are AFKing......

They also need to let us pick our color in both public and invite or just remove it.

The A.I. scripting on some of these Contract mission are complete garbage. There's nothing that has irritated me more over the years of playing this game like going through some boring part of a mission (in this case tailing an A.I.-controlled vehicle) only for something to glitch out at the last minute and end up wasting my goddamn time, with the added cherry on top that I have no choice but to fail the mission and get slapped with a wonderful cooldown timer before the game ever-so-generously allows me to try again. I'm watching these cars run into walls, completely spin out while trying to maneuver through traffic, and get stuck on objects. Then we have the A.I. in the Security Contract Rescue missions, who are so dumb and slow that I need to literally push them around small barriers/dividers because they can't just climb over them, constantly getting left behind because they somehow can't keep up with the light-jogging pace of my character, and are all too happy to just stand out in the open and get shot to sh*t.

 

One of the most profitable video games ever made, backed by a multi-billion dollar developer and publisher, and yet is pushing out glitch-ridden content like this. This game should be getting Fortnite-levels of care and attention, constantly balancing content, with complete quality-of-life updates at least twice a year. The "Expanded & Enhanced" edition better be damn good, or else I can see a whole lot more "Bitching" and "Moaning" in this game's future.

So, usually if I want to shoot at a car, especially in this missions when the AI is chasing and spawning in front of you in a blink of an eye, I usually need to empty a full magazine or two to eventually hit the driver. Just got this Franklin phone mission, chase a dude in a police cruiser till he crashes bonus, OK? I get the cruiser and finally get to this guy and his car and decide to give one shot so the chase can begin. I headshoted this mofo the second before I hit the left mouse key.

 

F*cking f*cked f*ckery!

You don't need to shoot in that mission. Just turn on the sirens and go after him.

I guessed as much, but I was bored and he was still a bit far away and with all the bugs in this game I decided I'll just "alarm" him from afar.

I haven't been able to take the money from my Agency safe for a few days now, my character will open the safe but then just freezes in place and I have to change sessions etc to carry on playing. Tried all the usual ways of freeing her up - restart game, reboot Xbox & even tried going into the menus and looking at the Criminal Enterprise thing that works when your character freezes in the Casino Penthouse - nothing works.

 

Looks like at the moment that safe will just fill up to max and be un-obtainable money until Rockstar begin to take this huge number of current bugs seriously.

Edit: Reddit seems to think it sometimes doesn't happen if you enter the Agency via the roof (on foot not landing a helicopter on it) or by opening the safe from an invite only session. Will try and report back
Edir #2: Entry via roof: Nope. Invite only session: Nope. Solo session: Nope. Looks like the Agency safe money is now forever out of reach of my grubby paws.

I have the same happening to me today. Can't also get my Arcade money. When restarted the game the only difference is my character does not froze, but the money are unobtainable still.

If you do anything except for exactly what the bonus calls for it fails the bonus.  I put a single bullet into the popstar's car once when doing the truck ramming bonus and failed it.  Just FYI

[partci]

@ventogt I was pointing more to the fact that I shot the head, while if I was aiming at his head I'd had to shot 2 or 3 magazines to hit him.

 

More fresh B&M from me:

 

WTF is happening with this game today? Just got off a "deliver the supplies" NC promote mission, when I flew with my OP to the truck and drove it down the city. I had over 10 minutes left when the game suddenly said "Mission failed - you failed to deliver the supplies" and then the truck exploded?!? I was in a solo public and was simply DRIVING the truck without even crashing it in anything.

 

WTFF

[shadyslady]

The contract lured me out. 

I enjoyed the agency especially them payphone hits. 

I used to make my millions with vip ceo challenges and jobs, grinding them. 

Now these payphone hits allow me certain freedom and the bonus lets me get 170.000 $ every few minutes. 

But that's it. Bitching and moaning.. Igot even more millions. Cars that can't get locked on. EVERY opmk2 either doesn't even try or they miss. 

 

It's no fun anymore

[Arrows to Athens]

Is there a way to join a Short Trip mission that isn't Seed Capital? Jesus f*cking Christ...

[TCMike]

Whenever there is an easy universal daily objective, I always go through my 4 characters to try and accomplish them, assuming the others are easy too.

 

Today 3 of my characters had Visit Record A Studios.  None of which own an agency.  I swear, R* should just make "Buy a Shark Card" a daily objective and get it over with already.

Why up it? Just remove it completely. I really don't see the point of it nowadays except to punish people for grinding Cayo too much and loading into a full session.

You may already know this, but if either/both of the non-global objectives are ones you don't like, you can quickly dashboard and they'll get rerolled. Obviously you have log out just before the changeover and back in after.

 

Very handy for when I get two LSMC ones, like "do some bullsh*t on the abandoned Test Track that will require two players". 

 

But yeah, kind of hate how they are shoving this Contract DLC down our throats every way they can. Here's a tip, R* - we like money; perhaps if the VIP Contract paid enough to cover more than a Burger Shot meal we'd be more willing to replay it. Then again, the unbelievably long, cringey, unskippable cutscenes are quite a deterrent as well. Some of us resent being offered up as a captive audience for Dre's played-out ass. 

 

Edit: ahahahaha just got "Spectate the Test Track" & "Visit Record A Studios". Jesus f*cking christ, I rest my case.

If you want to get your hands dirty and, instead of sniping the driver, roll over the target with the dozer yourself on that Franklin contract... 

Just be sure to smash him against a solid object: I glitched the target inside an open wooden box and failed to get the bonus

Can't find the stash any where to get the bonus. Can they make anything that's not broken?

If you don't have any Molotovs just get out ahead of the car and shoot the grille until it catches on fire then wait for the car to blow.

He did the same exact thing in that same exact location. What I did was kill him and that spawned the yellow marker, which was in the alleyway behind the store. I've said it in this thread a page back. The effort over there at Rockstar is gone, and it's showing. It's almost as if they're now hiring random people off the street outside their studio to code their AI because they just can't be bothered anymore.

Second one of the same, always right next to my NC. This time I was sorta paying attention - I hit a street sign on the last curve. And the truck burst in flames. They either royally f*cked something with the vehicles mechanics or royally f*cked up something with those missions as a whole.

[Gaffa]

WTF is this? 
 

 

You have to be a special kind of stupid at Rockstar to think that unlimited enemies - IN ANY ENVIRONMENT - is a good idea. 

Rockstar has never done anything about the NPC accuracy (there is absolutely no way whatsoever they're hitting 12% of the time, nope, no idea where that even comes from). 
Rockstar has never done anything about the police spawning (sometimes if you're not looking at your mini-map radar every 2 seconds, you'll drive straight towards a freshly-spawned police car with no ability to do anything about it because you're going too fast / you're too close before they actually appear).

 

These two core elements of the game going untouched for years really hurts - it does not make for "fun" gameplay whatsoever and Rockstar's lack of desire to address the issues hurts the company. 

[Arrows to Athens]

People still don’t know that you can call Lester to lose the cops in Sasquashed, or any other Repo mission for that matter (except for Under the Hammer)? Smh…

You can never get ANYTHING done with randumbs. They always manage to find someway to f*ck something up.

Chasing these new vehicles with no autolock is quite fun in the Buzzard or Sparrow. Smack em around while they desperately try to make it to LSC or one of their garages. And should they try to park it like its hot? Well, thats one dead duck!

[Arrows to Athens]

Something very strange happened earlier on today. I completed a Repo mission with some randoms, and for some reason, I was the only one who received the normal pay, while everyone else received triple pay.

 

 

What the f*ck is this?!?!? Is this some sort of bug or what?

Yeah, don't understand why this game attracts so many toxic idiots.

 

Like, 3x$$ on Simeon missions, yay! Then you join one and there is always some asshole idling, or some asshole in a mememobile who completes the mission in 2 minutes or (even better) destroys the objective (this literally just happened on "Are We There Yet?" - dumbass screams in with a Toreador and starts unloading missles, boom, RV destroyed). I'm not even sure which one annoys me more, but at least with the idlers I can turn back and mow them down like the vermin they are. Just play the damn game, jerk off. 

 

Why does it seem that "Be a GTA player" and "Have some basic decency & common sense" are mutually exclusive states?

This mission makes a little more than 10k RP using Savage/Hydra/tank vs infinite spawns, I don't appreciate playing it otherwise, like most of Repo missions its boring(Under the Hammer and Blow Up 3 are ok...). yeah lets make Repo 3x RP again...they have dozens and dozens of old missions to make 3x RP.

I accidentally accepted one of Tom Connors missions [that A hole now calls me as much as anyone else after the latest update] where you have to get the champagne and drive it to the casino.  What the hell, hadn't ever or only done it once.  Of course it's in a balls slow Pisswasser truck in Paleto.  Whatever, let's do it.  Inexplicably, the bar of "champagne" in the bottom just continuously drains, even though I'm not touching any other cars and have been on the highway for the last 3 minutes.  About a block from the casino, I fail because it just decided to kill itself.

In that mission, if you drive above a certain speed, it damages the champagne... even if you hit nothing at all.

 

It was a pretty crappy move by Rockstar to do that IMO, considering the exact same promotion mission for the NC lets you drive at full speed with no penalty.

Here's a GTAO First World Problem B&M

 

I'm sitting on 250+ million and I feel so damn empty. I grinded too much and I don't know what to spend it on. I already have the things I wanted. I remember the older days when I struggled to stay above 10 million while amassing a Sports Classic collection.

 

Maybe I'll buy a Dump, I dunno.
