[toguraum]

Thanks Spider. I like this week again.

 

I wanted to let down GTA Online a bit to continue RDR2, but one more good week. I find RDR2 a bit boring for some reason.

 

Sumo is fun!

[suicidal_banana]

Have to admit that's a nice looking bike, but ehhhh, does it remind anybody else of a certain celebrity that's been featured in a certain game?? that makes bikes like these when hes not working on movies/games? Not complaining or anything, just a bit odd?

 

Complaining:

- Shirt is old

- Lucky Wheel & Prize ride cars are old
- 2x on pursuit, after having nerfed those cars making pursuit even worse, great call

- Yet again, 2x on latest dlc, smh.
 

Would really love to finally hear something official about E&E tbh!!

 

Thx @Spider-Vice

So I decided to test drive the Vagner at the LSCM.

 

My guy kept getting in and back out and back in and back out.

 

Luckily I could bring up the phone and teleport to my Facility.

If Pursuit Races were 2 player minimum like the other Tuner races, it'd be worth to grind out some Rep this week.  Double $$ on the robberies are nice I guess.

[Jenkiiii]

Does anybody else think the top-speed wheelie glitch of the Reeva is unintended?

 

You can never be sure with Rockstar. This time next week it could be nerfed. People on budgets may want to hold off buying it for a week or two.

This event week is pretty good, too bad pursuit races aren't as much fun anymore with the "fixed" cars but at least they probably won't be ghost towns like they've been lately. The only thing i need to remember to do is set the game phone audio to my controller speaker, that way i can mute that and not hear about any moustache bouncing.

Those looking to customize and move exotic vehicles can pick up an Auto Shop (and all its Renovations, Modifications, and Upgrades) for 30% off this week. These properties will give you access to additional revenue streams via Exotic Exports, as well as the Auto Shop Contracts and Client Jobs mentioned earlier.

Those who own a Celebrity Solutions Agency can pick up the Coil Compact EMP Launcher for 25% off this week from the Agency Armory and foil any vehicles in hot pursuit with a well-placed pulse.

In addition to the above, there is a range of rides on discount this week — see below for the complete list.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Am I the only one who ignored the Agency and is already tired of Agency events and discounts every week? Yeah, prolly

 

Been waiting for Auto Shops to go on sale though and now I can add one. That's from the newswire and it says to see which vehicles are on discount in the list below, but I don't see it. What vehicles are marked down this week?

[Shadowfennekin]

Double money on Contracts? Nice!

Wish it was rep lol

[Kiethblacklion]

I'm cool with auto shop stuff. I like the missions they added for that business.

$585K payout from the union depository contract is pretty nice.

You can even get more if you do it with multiple people.

Oh yeah, true. It is $675K payout if you have 4 players instead of 2.

[El Diablo 702]

Exotic export on x2$$ sounds nice if the f*cking list would ever refresh, found 1 car last weekend and the list is still bugged with that 1 car crossed off.   I swear if R* ever did even remotely close to a quality of life fixes this game would be 100% better, but it’s R* after all.

Only if all 4 survive though.

That's only if you're the leader/host, right? Otherwise, it's around 100k.

Yup. Just did it with three other players and one didn't make it. $630K payout for me and $120K for the others.

Yes. Depends on the amount of other players and how many survives.

[Taterman]

Thanks S-V. Good week. I'll be trying to do Union Depositories daily.

That happened to me too with the Vagner.

 

Reever is a lot better than I thought. It appeared to be an unfaired 70s streetfighter rip-off, but it's more of a freaky retro racer effort. Weird but nice. Won't be owning more than one though. Looks great in the Xero get-up.

 

Well into the post DLC dip now. Cayo looks interesting again. Might as well make money if there's no fun to be had elsewhere.

Yes. Base for helpers is $50k. UD gives a bonus for helper's bags of gold. Then double it for this week.

If it's not intended then they won't fix it until the next DLC. They let the bulletproof regular Kuruma last for an entire DLC and the Gargoyle and Fagio both still have this glitch. If you want it, then either get it now or wait until after E&E hits in March.

[smokeless6]

[Lonely-Martin]

A good week with a few bits I enjoy getting a bump. And speaking of bumps, I do enjoy me some Sumo.

 

Cheers @Spider-Vice.

[Pedinhuh]

I wonder when the Shinobi and the Reever will be discounted because there's no way I'm paying full price for those.

[RyuNova]

If you set your mind to it The Pac Standard Robbery would be a great way to make money.

 

Hmmm, do it or do I stay on holiday on Tamriel?

Do you have to fit one of those larger rear wheels to the reever? Like Web on gargoyle.

 

Google says nope. Awesome.

To be fair, the bulletproof Kuruma glitch was a model issue and could not be fixed server side by them, it needed the corrected model to be downloaded and people would have flipped their sh*t if R* pished an actual game update just to download and fix one model.

True.

 

There are many other vehicles with weird speed glitches in this game that are never addressed. The 811 is another example. Apparently its great top speed comes from a glitch (suspension compression?) and its top speed goes up significantly at 60 FPS. Will they fix it with E&E? Probably not.

 

I'm not overly worried that they'll fix the Reever's wheelie top speed. Not now. Not with the next DLC. Not ever.

I sometimes think a few of these glitches are intentional or intentionally overlooked to get people to spend money on vehicles that are not classed as top tier without them.

Shower thought: I wonder how a new vehicle is designed. Does one person come up with everything? Does one person decide the performance numbers and someone else designs the model? If the later, perhaps the model designer could want a vehicle to go faster than the performance guy wanted, so they add a little something to the model to make a speed glitch. Just a funny thought I had.
