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

It is day 25 of my long looooong journey towards the monthly objectives award. And I get THIS:

"Escape a 100 star wanted level"

 

Not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, ... nope, a HUNDRED STAR WANTED LEVEL!!

Well ... it does indeed sound like an interesting challenge, but how am I supposed to do that, Rockstar?

 

I already escaped all kind of wanted levels both in free roam and in missions. I logged out and in again, restarted the pc and let steam check the game files. The objective stays unchecked ... and I'm running out of ideas.

I'm pissed! Day 25 ffs!

That has to be an error. Maybe it's supposed to be fall for 100 meters and survive or parachute from 100 m or higher?

The fact that the armoured boxville and ruiner 2000 count as personal vehicles and you lose around 20k and gain bad sport points every time you blow them up. Cmon R* They have explosive cannons and the other has(limited) rockets.It should have been the same as pegasus vehicles but its not so bad since you barely see them anymore at least in free aim.

Since when did players lose 20k for destroying Special Personal Vehicles? I haven't seen any notification of me losing 20k for destroying any of them at all.

 

But I do agree on the Bad Sports points being a dumb idea for blowing them up.

[Darealbandicoot]

unless its a glitch i destroyed a ruiner 2000 and armoured boxville last night and my balance was deducted by 20k each. If its not that i have no idea what it payed.

"Get rid of 1 100-star search level" (Google translate)

 

Woah; I've been doing Dailies since they were released, but have never seen that--it's likely(?) a (very bad) bug or glitch.

 

I would try doing the two dailies that EkaSwede mentioned above, plus "Parachute Dangerously" and "Escape a 5 star wanted level" just to be on the safe side--even though you've already done them, sometimes they don't register as complete (a known bug) until you exit the game and reload it. Let us know what (if anything) works!

 

This makes me wonder though if R* is currently in the process of adding or modifying Daily Objectives, and you're seeing some of the "leaked" beta of their work?

 

I honestly can't think of any other way to explain it, other than perhaps a script kiddie playing with game code in your session (seeing as you're on the PC)? They can after all modify bounty value code, even though it's fake, and cannot be claimed (just "fizzles" without anything happening):

 

 

Failing all the suggested daily objectives, I would file a ticket with Rockstar, with a pointer to the screenshot; they can't argue with that!

You don't get charged money for blowing them up. Maybe a glitch or something.

Too many RPG spamming scrubs in Free Aim. Like wtf are you here if you cant shoot dipsh*t? Go to AA where you scrubs belong.

[Irish45455]

Delivering two cars with a friend so she can get the last collection completed. She's driving one car, I'm driving the other. She delivers her car with minimal damage, and I deliver mine a few minutes later with a grand and a half of damage because some dicknuts NPC turned out of nowhere into my Z Type. Get "Delivery Successful" and then get a black screen. No, no God, please no, she's has been exporting cars like a motherf*cker just to finally get the right Roosevelt and I'm gonna feel like a real douche if my game freezes... And my game freezes, and in turn freezes my PS4, causing me to have to unplug the damn thing... I get back on after waiting for the game to load, rejoin her party and my friend is f*cking livid. "What the hell, Irish? All you had to do was deliver the f*cking car! I just got shafted out of the collection! I spent three days straight trying to get the right car!" No matter how hard I try to explain, she's having none of it. Thanks, so goddamn much, Rockstar. F*ck you and the horse you rode in on.

[Madhorse]

What the hell is going on with this game...just played a non-contact race and the contact turned on by itself in the middle of the 6 lap race.

[nm69]

Fix the frigging Bob glitch already!

Managed to do a pretty nice scope-up on the targeted vehicle during a police chase, kept the damage to a minimum, only for the damn Cargobob to drop the vehicle, TWICE!

 

Hello 20.000 damage bill.

 

P.S less of a complaint and more of a question, what's with the blue "titles" under our usernames, do the mods switch them or something?

My very first Imp/Exp sales mission I dropped a Sultan RS right after i picked it up and was building height to fly towards my destination. Never touched the Bob again after that except for one sourcing mission where you have to steal it off a barge. Worked pretty well and I escaped the buzzards with 0 damage. Then I got to my cheapest warehouse which has very little space for the Bob to hover around and in the process of lowering the Bob I managed to drop the car from like 5 feet off the ground and it landed on its side. Luckily a 2k damage bill was all it had.

 

I prefer to drive the car to my destination solo now. I learnt of a new trick to dodge the 3 wave Sultan attack and keep the car relatively bullet free.

[Action_Andy]

I give up. I flew 30 times over Zancudo , parachuted out of the Lazer, Maze Bank West and did a couple of parachute missions, collected a bounty, killed 20 Players, destroyed a lot of vehicles, stole 20 vehicles, flew under a bridge, went to Shooting Range, held up a store and did a 10 seconds wheelie. Nothing helped. I wrote Rockstar about it and sent them the screenshot. Let's see what they will say.

 

btw, I was alone in an invite only session. So no script kiddies, but a very annoying bug. 3 days before completing the monthly award About time for taking a break from the game, I guess.

[-LN-]

I'm quite frustrated today, as I returned from vacation to find my account on XBL was suspended due to "Marketplace Theft."

 

Back in December, MS charged two different accounts for the annual renewal. I contacted them about the error and provided proof, to which they agreed and reimbursed me for one of the charges.

 

Then, a week ago, their "Enforcement Team" flagged it as "a circumvention of the Terms of Agreement by trying to obtain unauthorized chargebacks via fraudulent activity," which they wrote, "has threatened the integrity of XBL and harmed the developers and content creators."

 

My family is now banned from XBL, meaning no access to GTAO, other games, Netflix, Hulu, or do anything requiring XBL.

I learned after an hour on the phone with MS support, that there is no actual "Enforcement Team," but rather an automated program that flags erroneous activity on account billing, automatically suspending anything out of the norm. Once it suspends, the MS support team cannot access the account to re-activate, fix the problem, pro-rate my account, refund me for the new error, or even cancel my subscription, altogether.

 

My only option, as I was told, was to wait until the ban is lifted in a month and there's no way to dispute the decision.

 

So, I'm called a liar, a thief, and a fraud who violated the terms of service. What's confusing is that even if it were true, why only a ban for a month? What does that do? Will I have learned some lesson? Is this punishment akin to time-out because my sister claims I hit her, when I didn't?

 

Clearly, it's a broke system and once I have access to my account, I may sell off my XB junk and buy a PS.

 

TL;DR:

Local mechanic charged you twice for an oil change. You called it out, rightly, and he reimburses you. But, when you go to get your car, he tells you you're banned from the garage and can't get your car because you tried to rip him off. He says to come back in a month when you've learned your lesson.

 

<sigh>

 

 

Wow, I am so sorry to hear this! If I were in your position, I would never ever give MS any more of my money; that's just ridiculous customer service on a whole different level.

 

We will welcome you to the PS side; it's far from perfect here, but I cannot even imagine going through that!

[DC4B18]

Damn. I only had 1 hour to play today, I spent the whole time trying to play Jets vs Insurgents (LTS). Couldn't find one lobby while being on call and when I tried hosting it.. nobody/not enough players joined.

 

Meanwhile... Runners vs Zentornos and Snipers vs Stunters have 20+ players every time. Smfh no thanks.

 

Guess I'll try again later tonight

Very sad. Did you try the shooting range or the flight school? Just as a last call.

 

Hope they restore your progress, or at least give you some money to compensate.

[-KM-]

Whats next? Being able to fix your car from the interaction menu without having to go to LSC?

I'd say that's very likely to happen actually. The Crew has the mobile mechanic which does exactly that. It's quite convenient for photographers and such who get triggered over the tiniest scratches (aka me).

[Cackling Jack]

f*cking scrub tactics.

 

I found a person who was a few levels lower than me, but had a .3 over me in KDR. So I assumed this would be a good and even fight, something I like. But no, the bitch just starts using motherf*cking bombs, immediately. It went to 4-1, I bailed. Asshole.

 

Like, like really. Why can't we just fight like f*cking men? Why does every pussy HAVE to do this? WHY? I hate you people that do this, and I hate you people that have to live off the radar. You're all a bunch of cowards. You're worse than the jet people. At least when someone is in a jet, I know what to expect. But with these dicks, they're just invisible with f*cking explosives.

 

I'm having to hide in my office right now. It's literally a madhouse outside, assholes.

 

I know its a sh!t tactic to use but I go straight into passive if they spam ghost org/off the radar. Not worth fighting them. Like I am going to let you get a easy kill on me? Nah you gotta work for it buddy.

[Nick1020]

Today's Bitch and Moan is that I miss playing gta and yet can't get back into it. Maybe playing it everyday finally got to me. Or maybe Overwatch.

That outfit bothers me why not all black? Can't those retards make proper outfits? Without it looking stupid?

 

Edit: Also about that gif too, it has made me so pissed. First off, why are those f*cking bodyguard vests unavailable Jesus f*cking christ I hate that the f*cking utility vest and that other vest are the only vests I can wear I rather wear the bodyguard one but of course not. R* is f*cking retarded as usual. Second, every retard I see wearing that bodyguard vest their outfit looks so f*cking stupid. And third, that f*cking laggy trash. I bet that's how he gets his kills with good ol lag.

Decided to start doing vehicle cargo again after a few days of casually collecting crates in sets of 9 then selling them (only one vehicle.)

 

I go to source a car and it's a Sultan RS. That's cool, I'll stock my warehouse up with more Mid and Standard range cars so I can always get Top range vehicles. It's the mission where you tail a Kuruma to the hideout. Should be easy. My assistant tells me that these are some Little Seoul gangsters.

 

About a minute into tailing the car, it gets stuck at a red light behind a freakin' Faggio for 30 seconds! I was seriously tempted to shoot the Faggio, even if it did fail the mission. Once the Kuruma finally realised he could go around, I follow him for another 3 minutes up to Chumash. Bit random considering these are Little Seoul gangsters, but it can be dismissed as a beach party. Anyway, I get out of my Tempesta and shoot the people standing around the Sultan. Easy drive back, but I saw a Faggio so I had to ram it to avenge my wasted time. $30 in damage. Soon after, I clip a plastic bollard and it's $500 in damage. The f*ck? How can a piddly piece of plastic do that much damage to a car driving at a relatively low speed, as compared to hitting a motorised scooter at near top speed?

 

E: Went to sell an ETR1 from my warehouse, so I called in my Cargobob before selling it to avoid the squadron of Sultans. I land the chopper, go into the warehouse and go to sell it. Fully customised it, and as soon as I hooked it up to the heli, it had a seizure, dropped and landed on its roof. I forcefully flip it over in the hopes that it won't get too damaged. Only lost 10k off the sell price before hooking it up again. About 30 seconds after hooking it back up, it had yet another seizure and landed on its roof under a bridge. f*cking seriously? How does that desync even happen in an empty session?

You're a bit late. The mods played with the filters, so H U N T E R comes out as Thomas the Tank Engine.

used to have a PSN like this..didn't last very long..it got banned.

 

Dropped a BST the other day, it showed up on map but didn't show up on the ground.. I died several times trying to find it just to get rid of the icon from my map.. I had to switch sessions.. -_-

Only recently started using BST with any regularity, and f*ck the minigame where you're trying to dodge incoming fire while hunting for the HARDEST f*ckING THING TO SEE IN THE WORLD on the floor.

 

Which brings up my B&M, the uselessness of Expanded Radar in some situations (BST included). Let us f*cking toggle the map and make it stick, you've been making games for over 20 years ffs. I had to play for years with no health or armour bars.

I'm quite sure you can keep the map expanded on the options tab at the pause menu..

 

Also, on current gen the expanded map has both health and armor bars.

[Gridl0k]

^ Perhaps I didn't phrase it very well. I play with the expanded map. I put up with no health or armour bars until NG launched. There is no way to toggle between expanded and small that sticks, outside of the options menu. I just want "press down" to flick between them, without it going back to small after a few seconds.

[UndyingBubbles]

Been milking the bonus since it came out and now just about sick and tired of crates. 'Take out the thieves' 'go to crash site' blah blah. Back on I/E from today as if I see another CRATE I may go mental!

 

Made a tidy $22m from it but enough is enough.

 

I can't be the only one sick of crates!
