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

They should be a major feature.

Racing was my favorite thing with Franklin in SP.

Another thing that continues to annoy me: why is it that R* only ever assumes people want luxury showroom garages like this?

 

 

 

That, and fill them with mostly hypercars, expensive classics, weaponized BS, etc. - meanwhile, I just want consumer-grade 'enthusiast' cars, and a more functional place to put them:

Just found it on ArtStation, from one of the guys who worked on Need for Speed Payback - right now, considering how ...not thrilled I am after today's trailer, I'm toying with finally finishing off the grounded, NfS/Midnight Club/F&F/Gone in 60 Seconds update concept I was working on, with the aim of getting something like that into the game...

 

...of course, another thing to B&M about is that so far, it looks like none of the stuff people sent in about the more specific problems with the Jester Classic has had any impact - just the surface-level 'make it a Benny's-style car!' stuff from the usual YouTube morons. Likewise anything from Quinn's thread - sent them stuff every week for nearly three months, and so far, even the NPCs look like they're getting nicer things than we are. 

 

So at this point, even if I can drum up the enthusiasm to hammer out a several-thousand-word, multi-part thread on the subject, I don't even know if there's any point, considering how little R* seems to be taking player feedback into account these days.

We need Han's garage from Tokyo Drift.

At this point I'm just hoping they add more customization options to the Jester. They might keep the stock look the same as-is just to save face, kinda like not wanting to admit that they messed up the Jester but at the same time give us the ability to make it look like the real Supra as a secret apology. And there's the real chance that it is the old messed up Jester with liveries options added... omg, that would be a tragedy after all of our feedback to R* 

[Semaj 2JZ♢]

Ok, so I've not been much for the Time Trials that R* swap every week. But, I tried the LSIA one just now and the par time... Are ya sh*ttin' me? Ya gotta be sh*ttin' me. It's a 3 mile (roughly) run, from a dead stop mind you, expected  1:43.40 ... 

 

Wow, ok, some real simple maths says at a 120mph (does R* even realize how few cars can even reach that speed on a flat smooth surface?) average, I can make that 3 miles in 1:30. This is doing 120 the moment I hit the start line (yet we've already established I'm screwed on this important factoid) and doing no less than that until the end. That leaves a whopping 13.40 seconds for my car to not only reach 0-120mph in less time than it takes to blink, but stay at 120mph as I weave through the city streets, taking corners, avoiding traffic, going over what are essentially jumps at these speeds, ALL while on a continuous incline...Am I missing something here?  Because this nonsense can be blown out it's ass.

 

Is there some magical vehicle R* uses to decide on these times or is it just complete disregard for anything remotely realistic?

[GreatScott1181]

Players that leave you alone for two hours, only to suddenly come and destroy the top range vehicle cargo that you needed to compete a collection.  Back to trusting no one except for the good old Nat trick!

I preferred the bug where it gave me $800k each time but I'd settle for a working game at this point.

I've got to hand it to @REXX for this simple-but-life-saving tip:

 

Load into an invite-only or other kind of closed session (because load times are a lot worse with public sessions, and if you're just unlocking stuff, you don't need to be in a public session), go grab whatever free clothing item is on offer for Character 1, and then ...don't immediately swap characters!

 

Do that now, and the game will try to put you back out into a public session - this means longer load times, and also more risk of being left hanging in the clouds. Instead, what you want to do is launch a quick solo job - a quick contact mission would do, or one lap of a short race.

 

It's just a minute of your time, but doing so 'reinforces' that you're in a closed/private session - if you swap characters after doing this, you'll re-enter GTAO with Character 2, but still in the same kind of closed session you were in before. Worth doing that quick minute/30 seconds of activity, just to avoid being stuck in Public Session Infinite Cloud Simulator purgatory...

[Dburger]

The one I/E mission where you get a pursuing armored Schafter, a pursuing helicopter, and a wanted level. F*ck that mission. Why the hell can you regain the wanted level (after you’ve gone out of sight of the cops but not completely lost them) at any time as long as that damn Schafter respawns anyf*ckingwhere? At least I don’t think you can get the wanted back after you’ve completely lost the cops. Cost me $12,000 in damage. In my past experience, the whole thing got easier if you blew up the Schafter. But then on this latest one I just got, a f*cking second one spawned and another helicopter spawned after the first one crashed. 

 

So f*cking stupid.

Im so effing tired of being the Pink or Yellow CEO. Why are these colors even IN the CEO list? Ok, they can be in, but can we put them near the end of the line where you only get the lame girly colors when the max CEOs per lobby is almost reached? I was the 3rd to register as CEO in a room and instantly Im the Pink CEO. WTF. Hardly any real girls play this game, why are we catering to girly colors? Same for the adversary modes, where one team has to be Purple or Pink. Seriously? Adversary teams should be Red, Orange, Blue, and Green. 

Why does this sound like a call that would be on Blaine Country Radio?

Also, f*ck you very much R* for sending angry gangbangers in Sultans after me if I dare to try and do I/E missions in a solo lobby

R* doesn't want you making that money

[Sinnen]

Had a sniper duel with random tryhard today. Okay, you try hard, I try soft, let's dance. No explosive rounds, no marksman dancing due to distance, fair play in mountains. 5-5 after two minutes, I got that guy in my scope, it was like "okay, sweetie, just stay still for one second, I'll be gentle..." But then! f*cking assistant f*cking called me and switched me to phone! Boom, headshot. I respawned and f*cking assistant immediately called again!!! BOSS, IT'S ME. LOOK, THIS GARAGE BASE... Boom, headshot! Rage quit, my mouse is broken, my pet rat was on my PC table when this happened and now he is scared and hiding from me(

[Cheesy_wotsit]

Congestion Charge: In so many ways this race can just f*ck the f*ck off. Given that 95% of races are run with catchup turned on this becomes one of the most boring tedious un-engaging races. The random try hards that try and shove you off the race course in the first 30 seconds of the race, failing to work out that it buys them no advantage what so ever, the straight and boring run of the entire thing that can be done in your sleep and takes about as much skill and ability and breathing, only breathing is considerably more fun than this race, followed by the inevitable who's going to smash the f*ck out of you the hardest on that stupid mile and a bit straight run to the finish line. It can f*ck right off

[Mach1bud]

Although I am very excited about the update...

 

No new muscle cars to be seen yet.

[Watain]

Rank-based heist logic:

• *Enters heist on call and push "ready"*
• *Rank 6000-something host changes cut to 0 %*
• *I choose "unready" as response*
• *Mr. 6000-whatever starts ranting about my rank (551) being high, supposedly making me a "rich enough" player*
• *Host chooses an 80 % cut for himself*

If a rank 551-player is supposed to be rich enough to provide free welfare for others, then I truly wonder what a 6000-player is supposed to be. Hands down the stupidest argument I've seen in this game all week. Modder or not, a player at rank 6000 should be sitting on tons of cash, legit or modded. Sometimes there's just no limit to people's illogic and stupidity.

Tired of that time trial,bullsh*t as well. Reliant on luck more than skill imo. Vigilante and Shotaro every single time.

[Сhrist]

Who the F*CK programmed the traffic in this game man?!?!?!

 

I spawn in a lobby and an NPC runs me over when I'm on the sidewalk.

I do an Import/Export vehicle sale, and a goddamn NPC stops in the middle of the intersection for no goddamn reason.

I do a time trial, and a NPC decides to stop their car when turning left onto an intersection.

 

And can I just ask... ARE THESE COPS F*CKING TERMINATORS?!?!?!

 

I shoot one bullet, two stars.

Then about 30 cop cars chase me and drain my health when I'm in the middle of a freemode war, allowing noobs to get free kills on me.

And why are these cop spawns so retarded?!

Every time I'm in a mission, a cop car spawns 300 feet in front of me and I get like 5 stars...

 

These bitches are going to make me throw my PS4 out the window!

Believe it or not, this week is one of the easier ones lol.

 

I like to do it in the Dominator or Z Type personally. Pretty sure Rockstar used a Bati or something to set the times.

For years now the Dubsta 6x6 has existed and yet the more desirable model, the 4x4, doesn't!? >.>

Also the copy + paste sounds for different vehicles. I don't want my ________ supercar to sound exactly like the Zentorno.

yas literally. this is what i complain about every pre-release of a DLC and then continue to complain about at the drop of a DLC when watching @oleg_aka_djmeg (kween of vehicle testing) videos. SSASSS triggered me real good, the Michelli GT was literally the only high-light. I pray to Marina Diamandis that After Hours has vehicles with NEW AND UNIQUE SOUNDS

That's the normal G-Wagon. Not the 4x4^2.

Do you know what 4x4 means?

 

4 wheels, 4 driven wheels. Soooo that's the Dubsta 4x4.

 

PS G-Wagen is short for gelandewagen which means offroad vehicle

Sorry for the confusion. I know what you mean, but I'm pretty sure you know what I mean. I should've put the squared.
