[Robin1996ify]

I'll wait for next week instead for Granger 3600LX

 

World Peace? Yes.

Universal healthcare? Absolutely.

 

An all-electric SUV? GTFO.

[Cutter De Blanc]

Oh sh*t, time to run Blow Up 2 a million times

 

Save that yellow banshee

[Standard Deluxe 59]

Pretty meh week, hardest target is an okay mode but that's about it. 

[Taterman]

Thanks S-V.

I guess it's a good time to catch up on things I neglected while slamming payphone hits and security contracts the last couple weeks. Hello Pavel my old friend.

[Valiant ENT CEO]

RIP Double Down. You were fun for a few days. Franklin and Lamar, you are safe for now..

[ilRae]

Free-Aim, Khanjali, RV Nearly There RP grind it is, lol.

[Jenkiiii]

I have managed to grind back my in-game cash balance to where it was before the DLC, so I'm happy.

 

The great thing about the Shinobi motorbike last week and the i-Wagen SUV this week is that you DON'T have to buy them if you don't feel comfortable with them. After weighing up factors such as performance, upgrades, uniqueness and other collector-important factors such as garage allocations, I have chosen to pass on both these vehicles. This is not because of cash, which is never a factor for me - I  bought all available vehicles on DLC launch day - but because these vehicles do not present good drip-feed value. It's not necessarily the dripfeed that's at fault - the Comet S2 Cabrio is a dream and I also like the Patriot MILF-spec too - but Rockstar's fault for releasing red herrings and turds and expecting us to blindly lap them up.

 

Now I'm going to rest easy on my bank balance this week and congratulate myself for not falling into Rockstar's trap.

 

[Arrows to Athens]

I'll take triple pay on Simeon mission definitely, but why not ALL contact missions? Even double on all contact missions would be good enough.

About that bonus of 200k, one weapon skin purchase is enough or we need them all? I unlocked all of them but only applied studio one for AP pistol as i don't like the rest of them that much. 

[theEwing1979]

Triple pay for Simeon stuff is easy money. I made about a half million without even thinking about it tonight. It's a nice change of pace too, almost relaxing.

If anyone wants to grind the Simeon missions, my PSN is NiightRunner.

My favorite part of this week newswire is:

 

[Spider-Vice]

Oof, I guess someone tripped on the SQL server.

 

Edit: All the R* websites seem to be down/unstable, could be maintenance.

[Shadowfennekin]

Hm.... spend 70k on the AP livery and receive 200k? That's literally free 130k, even if you have no intention of using the livery or weapon lol

 

I bought the AP record livery

Maybe it is related to this:

 

 

[El Cavilldo]

All that hate for the I-Wagen...

Let's be honest: we don't hate electric cars, we just hate Elon Musk.

 

[Sam2150AD]

Genuinely thought it was a new VIP needing my help....

I guess I can replay it....3x Simeon missions, haven't done those in a while!

I'll pass on the new car though.

Nah, most likely not as the website infrastructure is separate from the GTAO cloud infrastructure. It was late enough that it looked like maintenance, or of course a sysadmin f*cked up.  

[Gridl0k]

Is this thing at least 4WD?

 

Rockstar have made more RWD Audis than Audi at this point.

[suicidal_banana]

 

- "Oh ffs, we still didn't reach our player number goals for 'The Contract'" ...... -> "Third week of 2x & 5th bonus week in a row, maybe it will work this week?!"

- "Players wont stop complaining about KDJ, i feel like we should do something" ...... -> "Hey guys remember Simeon? "

- "Still lots of complaints about those nerfed Tuner vehicles, ideas?" ...... -> "Lets just give people the best one the most nerfed one "

 

Thanks for the laugh @Spider-Vice

I find Simeone jobs pretty hard. He’s especially mad that Trippier left.

All the other electric cars have 4WD, so i guess the I-Wagen will be too, but does it really matter? The car is so useless anyway, with it's 91 mph topspeed.

Added videos.

[awesomefoot]

upwards of $60k and 12k RP for Repo Missions is nice.

[Cutter De Blanc]

At least I still get like 15k just for failing these super tough repo missions

 

How the hell am I supposed to keep that Brickade alive by myself? 

 

EDIT: I finally got it there using a Cargobob, had to add one to my hangar first because you can't use Pegasus vehicles. Even with Cargobob, you're apparently scripted to drop the damn thing twice, once over the Redwood Lights Track and once when you get back into the city, but I just swooped it back up again and delivered it more or less undamaged, it doesn't even really take any damage from falling off the Cargobob
