He wants the G Wagon 4x4 squared, which is the basically the 6x6 except with only 4 wheels. Same engine, portal axles, large wheels, etc.

It's an offroad army wagon converted into a fancy arab range rover then converted back into a more hardcore offroad vehicle... I admire that.

[HamwithCheese]

Thing is, compared to the twin turbo v8, the v12 is pretty obsolete. Heavier, less efficient and I think they generate the same amount of power. It's also hideously expensive. I think it's a $12,000 option on some cars.

 

But its still coooler.

You should see how much they want to charge you for the 7.3 zonda-spec version in an S Class

OK think I'm happy with my UN peacekeeper outfit now just to apply the crew emblem and it will be complete

I really hate how the rank number gets covered up in a mission lobby if somebody's talking/breathing/playing loud sh*tty music into their mic

Getting a bit worried that Tuesday will roll around, and once again, I'll be settling for a couple of 'eh, nice enough, I guess...' sports classics, and ...nothing else - same as Gunrunning, Doomsday Heist, SSASSS, Smuggler's Run, etc. 

 

A nightclub, with no added cargo nonsense or luxury showroom attached, some decent new clothes for once, some hairstyles I can actually use, and some proper 'enthusiast' cars, done well - any of the above, and it'll be a decent update for me.

 

Right now, though, I'm probably looking at getting the Stafford and the Swinger, and ...nothing else, because the rest of it looks like just more of what I've grown to hate about the way this game has mutated over the years. This isn't what I bought into back in 2013, and loved the heck out of all the way through until later in 2015 - I just want R* to steer things back to normality somewhat, and I worry that that's expecting too much while the current peeps are in charge at R* North...

[Gridl0k]

^ This is why #ramptruck represents a return to normalcy, when you had to use a lorry to make your car fly.

Just having a 'rival' CEO in the session to prevent the swarm of NPC Sultans would be nice

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

Anyway...

 

On the advice of several different people (and flexcreator's videos) I bought a cargobob to do I/E...I may already have to abandon this method. Just had an ETR1 underslung and hovering over my warehouse when it suddenly decided to flick up, smack the underside of the helicopter, break loose and fall to the ground, causing $10k worth of damage to a car that was otherwise intact until that point.

Spend a hard day defending the yacht from, well, nobody and get killed by road raging LEOs while trying to perform street music...

I like coming back to this game in preperation for the next update to see sh*tty jobs in my notifications “ROCKETS VS INSURGENTS SUBSCRIBE YOUTUBEEEEEER REEEEEEE”

Firstly, the other player does not need to be a CEO or MC, can just be a random player

 

Secondly, the cargobob you bought, was it the marine or the jetsam?

 

On my make character,  I have the jetsam, never had a problem 

 

On my female character, I bought the marine, had it detach twice, now, I have a marine AND a jetsam

 

I don't use the marine anymore

[chainsoar]

I know it doesn't need to be a CEO or MC. 

 

Marine.

[kcole4001]

Well, I couldn't resist buying the Hunter on sale, so figured I should gt back to 40m before Ocelot Day.

So during 5 hours play my Cargobob blew itself up 5 times.

Thanks, programmer morons.

Parking lots and night club roofs are clearly a dangerous place to park your helo.

FFS!

Apparently the Jetsam 'bob has a longer cable.

It would be nice if the description in game TOLD the player this, wouldn't it?

You have to be fairly careful with some cars, as they flip around more than others if you don't decelerate or maneuver smoothly.

I've smashed a couple around while trying to slow down with a helo chasing me.

Never had one fall off, though.

I also love how the forum software automatically combines one's unrelated posts.

I swear, Rockstar up the traffic AI's stupidness on Import/Export sell missions. I have had countless times when either the AI swerve into me on purpose when they never do in normal freemodeing.

 

On top of that, I remember once or twice, the game went crazy spawning traffic, some cars spawned on top of each other causing them to explode. A massive truck spawned in the middle of the road in front of me, too.

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.

 

 

Well, I'll be damned. I did not take the wrong way off ramp, I went below and towards the LSC...there also seems to be far less traffic than I had to deal with. Must be a day/night thing. Well, guess ima just have to go try again.

Oh man, I almost forgot about that sh*t. Mine loves to spontaneously explode outside my vehicle warehouse.

[kcole4001]

Yep, that's where mine was the last 2 times.

Once it was fresh from being picked up at LSIA.

Had to kill time before the export, so as I'm flying away from my newly replaced 'bob to do Sightseer...BOOMMM!

Stupid f'ing programmers.

[No Homing]

Killed a guy, his friend with a 12 kd started talking to me.

He claimed to have invented heist warping, he also claimed to be a god and that I should remember this day because I'll never see another god again. And some more nonsense about having double my kd and my kd being too low for my rank. Like I care about kd. It means jack sh*t. And this whole time he was in pussive too scared to attack me, no matter how hard I tried to provoke him. The biggest joke I ever met. He was flying a Hydra, not a Lazer so he is definitely a noob pilot. What a joke.

And I started following him into lobbies but he kept leaving and kicked me from his crew.

If you claim to be a god, you gotta be able to prove it and not be chilling in pussive.

Why is the weather pattern so predictable and repetitive in Online when comparing it to story mode? It's literally the same weather every day, starts off a little foggy at dawn, then sunny in the morning, then it rains for a while in the middle of the afternoon, then nothing. Where's the thunderstorms? Where's the rain at night? This is one of my biggest pet peeves, since rain at night looks gorgeous in this game, but you never see it in feeroam.

I absolutely hate this as well, bunch of weather patterns yet we don't get them in Online, some people said it's due to performance issues but I don't know about that, we had scripted rain in that resupply mission in Freeroam and the one in the setup mission.

I wish they hadn't fixed the consistent custom weather glitch. I killed a Beast at night with rain once. It looked great.

Night+Rain=So aesthetically pleasing

 

[Khopesh]

I wish Rockstar would stop giving my (in-game) phone number and GPS data to a bunch of criminals, psychopathics and obnoxious morons. Makes it hard to do business... or just take a leisurely drive down the street.... without having thousands of job invites, requests to play tennis, or a dozen phone calls.... all while trying to defend myself against pricks who think they have to troll others in order to feel like their lives have meaning.

 

But seriously though.... why can I not block job/heist/race/tennis invites from people who are not on my friends list / in my crew?

And only giving your GPS location to friends/crew would make it much more difficult for griefers: It would be hard for them to find you, but easy for everyone else to spot the deluxo / hydra going around shooting at everything.

And people wouldn't be able to repeatedly snipe you the instant you respawn.

 

Supply / Sell missions should only really give other players a general location of the area you picked up a package, and maybe an indication of the direction you were headed when leaving that area. That way you can actually employ some strategy - such as leading them in the wrong direction, or hiding under a bridge, or walking / driving slowly down the street to blend in with pedestrians / traffic, etc etc. Playing in a public session might actually be feasible and more fun that way.

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!

It's much worse when they panic. The sound of gunfire and explosions sets them off, and they go absolutely berserk.  At this point, they will not hesitate in committing hit and runs nor will they even consider any form of safety for themselves. They will drive on the wrong side of the road, they will run you over with no hesitation, and they will crash into anything or anyone and still keep on going. Did I also forget to mention that they are capable of defying the laws of physics?
