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

[dino722]

Is it me or the deluxos homing rockets turn 180 degrees?? Because more than once iv dodged them and they turn around, they seem more OP then any other vehicules rockets. Plus destroying them in the middle of a freeroam vip mission charges me 20000 f*cking dollars!!!

[⁣V⁣]

 

Well, for one, I'm glad that I don't have $-1.

But what the f*ck?

[-Silence*]

Leave my Alamo sea coke house to deliver, I get the one where you have to drive the bike into the truck. Jump on the bike, take the turn onto the highway only to get creamed head on by a NPC (even though I was on the right side of the road), which somehow destroys the bike and renders my shipment void. WTF! Luckily I had 2 bikes to deliver but still, being taken out 2 seconds out from the coke house by a NPC that freaked out for no reason is absolute BS!!!

[Happy Hunter]

More network BS.

 

Forget the sh*tty prices, cash cards complaints, etc. How about the first priority is making the game actually f*cking work?

[MrClownSocks]

Why is it that a lot of people seem to go afk during setup missions and heists? I really hate playing with f*cking randumbs. Only reason I have to is because my friends hardly get on anymore. Dont even get me started on the fact most die within seconds because they wont take their time, use cover, and use snacks/armor.

[Sentinel Driver]

In a lobby with 2 other guys who are in the same org, same crew. I'm doing a bunker sale with the insurgent and attacking merryweather troops. I am about to arrive at the last drop-off when I get a notification that they've sent their facility strike team after me. wtf. However it was pretty funny because the merryweather guys and the strike team started fighting each other. Merryweather absolutely pwning the endless waves of strike teams with their turreted insurgents. After a while I get bored, call in a buzzard and destroy both of them and complete the sale. I see the two guys are coming after me with a hunter. I land on a rooftop, activate passive mode and start air thrusting. They hover, I air thrust. Eventually they got bored and left and I got a solo public lobby. yay. wtf did they think they were doing, i don't know

This dlc was a let down, boring just flipping boring....

 

It's just the same as the other crap dlcs before it, boring.

 

No it isnt. Youre either playing with the wrong people or youre just not that good at the missions. Unskilled doesnt necessarily equate boring, when it comes to these. No offense.

[—TheSquid—]

R* support is some of the most unprofessional garbage I've ever encountered. I provided proof of me being given the "Your CEO Has Left the Session" screen as I was the one hosting a DH setup. It happened so quickly each time, in fact, that when I respawned into the mission, I wasn't able to access the menu and quit. I provided gameplay footage. Looked at the attachments on my tickets. Support said they wouldn'y compensate me until they saw footage again. Sent it on my computer. Nothing. Then I provided footage of several glitches forcing my car to disappear in car I/E sales. Nothing.

 

This is probably awful of me to say, but I hope RDR2 tanks. And I mean I hope it's a massive loss for T2. Like, near-bankrupting loss for them. I don't understand what causes people to buy fish cards at this point, but I urge you all to please stop. I've talked myself out of it pretty much every time now since all the pay-to-win DLC's came out. Why should you have the right to give me your 50% bonus on Shark Card offers if you can't give me a f*cking game worth using that cash in?

[Lisha]

Doing CEO job with bf, we leave other people alone and they do the same. Lobby is chill.

 

Some guy then joins and immediately tries to disrupt our money grind. He's the type to RPG people with the homing missiles instead of doing things with a gunfight. Blows my car up twice before stealing our truck. MVP level 400 helps us out, gets the truck back and then we're having a snipe battle against the RPG-prick. I kill him like 25 times to 10, and he keeps blaming his PC saying that he can't see me, etc. Eventually he leaves.

Go back to doing jobs, then 3 people join our lobby and they're in their own organisation. Drive past them, they don't do anything to us so we just assume everything's chill. Next thing I know, my car blows up for no reason. Then my bf gets blown up before those 3 guys take our cargo.

 

The first guy was a twat since he had no skill in shooting and had to rely on auto-aim missiles to take us out, but he was a million times more tolerable than the cheating trio who joined after him. They must be too scared to just spawn money, because I don't really get why they'd bother doing that sh*t.

[—TheSquid—]

One more thing. My car will kick me out and disappear, and no matter what I do, it will tell me my personal vehicle is nearby and I can't order a new one. Kewl.

[Sentinel Driver]

There are so many vehicles and items with wasted potential. Like many of the mark 2 weapons. What does upgrading your special carbine to mark 2 do? Increases damage by 0.5, changes the look a bit and allows you to equip sh*tty special ammo types? Why are volatol and bombuska so underpowered? I don't get it at all. I mean, if rockstar actually made the special ammos useful wouldn't that just drive up shark card sales? Isn't that what r* wants?

[-Silence*]

More network BS.

Amen, Just got kicked out of my session while exporting a car.... Love paying 20K just to get kicked in the middle of a job. FFFFUUUUUUUUUUU.

This last act is absolutely atrocious. Infinite spawning enemies with butt loads of health crossing me from 15 different angles. Keep in mind that we're on a timer and the hacking mini game punishes you for the OVERLY SENSITIVE toggling of the joystick/keyboard. Don't even get me started on the ridiculous checkpoint system either. This game isn't tailored for heavy combat like they advertise. There's no shoulder switching, no fluid feedback from weapons, and the clunky movement that ensues which works against you 9 times out of 10. I see why people don't want to play this game. It's beyond unreasonable to play.

 

People may say, "Oh, but use your snacks & armor!" And yes, I agree, but when it's getting hot and I'm a hair away from death, literally going through my encyclopedia of menus to bring up the snacks and armor is seriously counterintuitive. This game's player movement design is broken beyond repair. I wanna help people and give them a chance, but when your freaking game is broken on basic third person shooter mechanics, you need to go back to the drawing board. Screw Act III of this Doomsday heist.

 

Paying millions of dollars just to access this garbage packaged as a "heist". Yeah, right. Not in a million years.

Let's see what this wellspring of intelligence has to say on the matt-

 

Oh never mind.

How I wish the race leader boards were reset once a month. I would love to play races and get good times, however most if not all races have cheated times. This being an issue for so long makes me not want to play races anymore. Maybe the game would have lower loading times if social club didn't keep track of a million+ race times / world record lap times for every single race. Rockstar should give people with the cheated "world record"s a friendly ban for cheating. There sitting there at the top of the leaderboard rockstar for you to easily see there accounts. I bet most of them have modded accounts as well.

 

For Example

I'm in top 5 for race time in a stunt race. I'm in 2nd with a 4.46.118. The other 3 are within half a second of my time. The 4 of using a mix of XA-21s and Vagners. Guess what race time the 1st place guy got. 4.03.313. in a Itali GTB Custom. Its bullsh*t that rockstar lets people have cheated times in races and does nothing about it. Add it to the list of other game breaking things they won't fix or reset.

It would be nice if they did that, every few months all times get restarted so everyone could try to make it on the leader boards, Mbe that would bring back a lot of racers idk.

[Yellow Dog with Cone]

- Remember when Martin used to send you invites to Contact Missions instead of spamming you with contextless and gimmicky Stunt Race and Adversary Mode invites?

 

- Talking about invites, why we still get invites when we're on CEO/MC work?

 

- Why I can't use the Interaction Menu inside a helicopter? This has keep going since Gunrunning.

 

- If I join a Race through the Quick Job menu, put me in a Race, not in a Stun Race, not in a Special Vehicle Stunt Race, not in a Transform Race.

 

- Stop sending me an e-mail about the Avenger, I already know.

Glad it wasn't just me, I got into it with a Deluxo griefer and was in my buzzard. Facing each other and I was doing the usual "keep ascending straight up" trick that usually works against homing missiles fired head on when the first one duly went underneath me then did an immediate 180 and blew me up. Haven't tried since & find the best way to combat deluxo tryhards is the same as the Opressor ones - go on foot and combat MG them as they try and dive bomb you.

[wizooord]

I hate that the facility costs 10k a day without an option to turn that off. I closed all my MC stuff to minimize the daily costs and now this comes T_T i miss the days it was like 1-2k per day...

My facility added $1000 to my bills, no more than that.

 

Where'd you get $10k from, lol.

Ain't a bullet sponge if you hit the damn head, lol.

 

Well, they are... But a dead one!.

 

Seriously, aim up a touch.

^ Exactly.

 

So much so, that headshots themselves factor into the elite challenge for the finale.

Dude, I was helping a newer player that's quite pants at shooting so we let him hack...

 

Me and the 2 covering him picked up over 100 kills each, 1 chap was close to 150. The noob died going through the passageway to finish off... Naturally, lol.

 

I get that the 1st run through is punishing as not knowing what and where comes in, but after 2 or 3 runs on each, bar the odd dopey moment we all have on a bad day, it really does get easier, IMO.

 

Of course, some are not as good at combat, and I know my PvP skills are poorer than average, but I do find many are seeking that 'one and done' approach and get frustrated because no matter how good they are, random just bring a mixed bag, so always worrying over the team, makes concentrating harder and jobs far more compounding.

 

I find it easier to seek players and build a team for the evening and learn together, or forget the things that leave me irritated, than get this flustered over it after these years.

 

I said it to another that was sharing their story while looking to learn things, pretty jealous of that 'new' feel some get by arriving this late, for sure.

 

But this DLC is not one of those times, lol. Newer players can really struggle here as they just missed out on so much over the years they choose to skip to play the newer stuff. All the while not appreciating that for many, we had missions, then heists, then Lamar's missions, then Free mode Terminator's, to this...

 

We grew into it, some start at this stage, far less 'ready' (unable to absorb damage because of a lower rank, for example). This Doomsday Heist, IMO, is assuming the player has heists prior too I find. And many still struggle there.

 

(Not saying this is the experience the chap we're responding to mind, more a general thing).

Killed a security guard in front of Larry's RV: no wanted level.

One minute later, a vandalism act by just smashing a car parked in front of Animal Ark: wanted level, almost immediately.

[Dr.Rosenthal]

Some days I swear the whole NPC population of LS is getting paid by the dudes getting pissed by me stealing their cars. As if it wasn’t enough to be chased by maniacs trying to shoot up your car and increase your repair costs, the NPC traffic seems completely kamikaze and intent of crashing into you by any means necessary..

 

Yes, I know it’s because they get spooked by all the gunshots and all, but goddamn.

[StangOne50]

HOLY CRAP ! So now that we have extra outfit slots I thought Id make some new ones.

 

What is with this clusterf*ck of incompatible clothing???

 

suit vest-must wear a compatible jacket

business shirt-must wear a compatible jacket

vest shirts-must be wearing a vest...but I am wearing a vest

fitted suit jacket-not compatible with your current outfit...I havent even been able to view these cuz I cant figure out what a compatible outfit may be

It took me 20 minutes just to figure out how to make a simple black suit and tie outfit.

Are there any threads explaining all this douchery?

[dragosani00]

Since when have the police been armed with machine guns? I just got drilled in the back by a female officer out of the blue, heard the noise and thought it was another player but then she got me a second time a few moments later.

[futureproof]

 

help

[Shadowfennekin]

Did they nerf the Pump Shotgun explosive shells?

I used to be able to kill a Juggernaut with two shots, it takes THREE now!

Can't end them as fast anymore. Time is key on eliminating them or a dumb team mate is going to get himself killed

[Scott Stapp]

I think I'm finally done. The orbital strike was the final straw. Even if it never hits me, the fact that it exists is insulting enough.
