The Official B*tch & Moan Thread (Part 2)

[M.K.N.]

Time Trials needs a rework by extending times a little. No matter how skillful you are, or how fast your cars/bikes are, its almost impossible to earn the money by beating such a tricky time. And there's always the idiot drivers who are more than eager to get in your way without warning just to waste those precious times.

Damn connection errors. My internet is fine, damn it, it's R*. Fix...your...f*cking...SERVERS!

[PetrolCB]

Is there any legitimate reason as to why you need to change the tracker, plate, whatever dumb bullsh*t (I just pick the first thing. I want to hurry it up.) for a car sale, when the enemy still recognizes you, and in turn, makes you want to drive a rusty ice pick through the temple of whoever worked on this update?

What a great place to spawn.

 

 

This is so f*cking stupid.

 

 

Seriously, what the f*ck is this sh*t? It couldn't just spawn me outside of course not. Had to lose a life because of it.

So wanted to sell some weed and needed help, no one wanted to join my MC but eventually a crew member joined the lobby so I tried to invite him to my MC. Screen says invite sent but they don’t turn up. He doesn’t get any of my invites to join or enter my weed business? Is this because he is a higher level than me and also higher in the crew or just the game f*cking me over again?

[Gridl0k]

Was he looking in the invites section of his phone? MC invites go there, CEO go to Securoserv.

 

Or it could just be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love import/export but i realised a flaw in the logic of it all. Im the boss and even though i can deliver a car worth $1 mil+ solo the max money i get is 100k even though IM THE BOSS. Where does the rest of the money go? Assistant and mechanic already have a fixed pay and property bills get paid. I can pay to fix and upgrade the cars if needed. I understand why the payout is like this(in game economy) but it makes no sense storywise that i would sell an x80 proto for just $100000 when market value is more than 20 times that! If i was working for somebody say Simion and he paid me that(he would never but lets pretend he did ), then that would be more than fair and makes sense and he keeps the rest. But somehow that value of MY car magically decreases? Anyways its all down to R* logic. Rant over.

You're not selling it, you're respraying and shifting stolen goods for a fee. You're the (micromanaging) CEO of a chop shop, basically.

 

In real life, if I gave you a Pagani Zonda that I had stolen right now, you think you'd stick it on eBay Motors?

Edited February 9, 2017 by Gridl0k

[Darealbandicoot]

I know what your saying but how would you know its stolen if the tracker and everything was removed and the car resprayed and diffrent customisation options on it? Plus Ls customs pays you about 40-50% of the value of a car if you sell it to them. Also where does it ever say im just shifting the stolen goods? I know securo serv takes a cut but why do i have to spend 1 mil+ on a warehouse first if im not the one in charge?

[Gridl0k]

It says you're selling to a Specialist Dealer, ie wholesale.

 

A stolen Zonda could never see the light of day again, was my point. In game we're lucky there's an inexhaustible demand for an infinite supply of hyper-rare cars.

 

Obviously I'd love $1.9m for each one too, but given this is a game I think the fiction that says it's a sensible amount of money vs other earners is believeable.

Always thought we were working for Ad-Hawk autos, but the wholesale part makes sense. It's also why you get a commission- you're just a delivery boy working to deliver the car for a cut of the total value. However, I don't have two degrees in finance, so I'll ask my executive assistant next time.

[Gridl0k]

You mean your co-CEO?

[Mach1bud]

It is how car theft rings work

 

You steal cars for a fee. You don't literally sell them yourself.

 

Gone In 60 Seconds is a perfect example. The guy pays them a certain amount to steal 50 cars.

@mach1bud

Great example! It's been years since I've seen that fIlm. Makes me like the update even more now. Sorry for the hubbub guys just trying to make sense of the update rewards.

Edited February 9, 2017 by Crashbandicoot2

[Mach1bud]

It literally calls it a commission in game. A commission means getting paid to perform a service.

I was actually bitching about the opposite thing recently lol. I think they are way too easy now.

 

*shrug*

 

I wish they would add newer more difficult time trials.

They should rework the time if you had to follow a mandatory route, but all the time trials are only one checkpoint, which allows you to take shortcuts and unconventional routes, in fact, some of these trials can only be done by taking those routes, this week's TT is a good example of that, if you follow the dirt trial up on Mt. Chilliad you will never beat the par time, no matter which vehicle you use.

 

Take a look at our time trial thread here and see the best routes to take.

[Black-Dragon96]

Yes we just get a commision for stealing and delivering a car and yes you (or the companys who buy from you) cant sell a car for the full price if its registration numbers are not clean.

But, lets say they sell it for half its price. For example an x80 worth 2,2 Million, gets sold by them for half price (1,1 Million) and you get 100k. Thats lower then 10% for taking 99% of the risk and paying 20k up front for modifications.

I think it would have been better if we would have got a 20% cut of the cars (half price) worth and not this three stage set payment bull****.

[Crazy_Cico007]

I'm sick of idiots who doesn't know basic things in game and they are above rank 100,for example:

- Vip work Fortified,I am in tunnel and one player coming with buzzard,he looking for me for a long time and he start killing Npc enemies,npc's killed him and they continue killing him quickly when he respawn lol.He gave up and after minute,he vote to kick me from session lol.This happened few times (not same player or day,of course).

- Vip work Fully Loaded (Ruiner is stronger and have unlimited rockets),two players steal two turreted vehicles and they try to kill me.I fired few missiles and killed them so quickly,of course they voted to kick me,why?My guess is because of Ruiner or they don't like to be killed.

-Players vote to kick or report me because I am in gang attack.

 

And according to these kind of players,GTA V is released in 2016,if you are high rank you are cheater.

[Dragon_Of_Tragedy]

so now the import export enemy cars are faster than a T20??

 

I was well away from both cars in an undamaged T20 and both not only caught me but one nearly overtook me. They did 6k worth of damage from bullets alone.

 

Sort your f*cking game out rockstar. A T20 should be leaving those cars miles behind.

NPC use some sort of boost. Spotted it in editor when I was making fueling the flames.

 

A lost NPC on a damion suddenly shot ahead like a zentorno with fire shooting out of it's exhaust.

 

And a burrito van had the boost with NPCs in out of harmony.

"Oh, look, this girl just jacked a cop van and cops are shooting at her. Better hit the gas pedal and crash into the van and die."

And I was stuck for 30 seconds with cops on my ass not knowing what to do. Finally called Lester, got out and moved the buzzard.

 

Why do pedestrians always have the worst possible reaction when in a panic situation?
