This is what makes me laugh with Broughy's concerns about continuing to test cars. He's worried that he's not good enough to test anymore because he's not the best at the silly cheats. Who the f*ck cares about those cheats?! Most viewers sure don't. The racing community would only be using his videos as a starting point anyway. They would be figuring out which car is best on which track with their own experience. Something they've always done because they'll be the ones paying more attention to if a track is a lot of long straights, in city turns, or stunt tubes. They don't need to know from him which car is fastest with those silly cheats.

I agree, Broughy is  one of the most valuable members of the community for the information and dedication he has. It's never been about how good of a driver he is.

Broughy is feeling like he got left behind, he was one of the best, at the very top, but now he can't catch up to the new guys. I feel the same way to some extent, i used to be really good at stunt racing, but my prime has passed, is awful to feel this way, seriously.

Is it still easy to get a solo public lobby with this new version?

No idea. I never bother with it anymore.

 

The session that you first spawn into is always a sh*t show with up to 30 players, but if you leave that and find a new session you will immediate get relief, with only six to eight players. That is my experience. Just switch sessions, immediately.

 

You don't need a solo public lobby. Find a small lobby and sniff it out. There are distinct benefits in playing with others: business battles, freemode challenges and events, 1% bonus per person for deliveries, etc.; plus it's more interactive and interesting.

 

Playing in free-aim lobbies also really helps in my opinion.

 

Either way, just get out of that initial-spawn grief-fest lobby.

Biker business had there sale amounts increased by 25%.
Most Nightclub crates have increased by 35%.
And Nightclub Popularity is very much worth it now averaging $38,800 a day in semi-passive income, requiring you to only do one mission every 5 in game days, or 4 hours IRL. That's $194,000 in your safe every 4 hours for doing a 5-8 minute mission. 

And because everybody loves spreadsheets:

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to choose?

Public options:

Full = 21 to 32 players

Mid size = 11 to 20 players

Small = 10 or fewer players

Hopefully it still works. Can anyone confirm one way or the other?

Did they fix the white paint streaks in this hair? Pretty sure this was broken only in the contract.

Someone mentioned there are a few free cars that were offered back in the day in some special edition or something, how do you find these and are they in SP or Online?

^^^I don't remember cars launching that far when I used to troll with the Vigilante.

The Vigilante's rocket boost is definitely more powerful.

I've noticed that the in-game player list now shows who's talking on game chat. Not sure if it's from this update exactly but prior to that you had to go into the pause menu to see who was talking.

Are you referring to the free vehicles offered to returning players? There aren't any on Legendary, but there are some on SSA and Warstock. Just sort by price with cheapest at top.

NAT test don't work (tested just because)

But now the 2.0 way doesn't work either, blocking Multiplayer on your xbox privacy and then changing session. Little freebie there for One players tho.

 

I assume I can still do it via dark arts of yoo dee pee but I don't care that much, I like getting the big bonus on nightclub sales anyway.

[Gridl0k]

 

Also my nightclub at full pop is paying 50k per day but the safe is at $210 capacity. Not sure how broken that is vs old gen as I ignored it.

Yeah, definitely been there since PS3 days. But, its not always accurate. Sometimes I still have to pause and look at players to find which mouth breather to mute, or to threaten via text.

Has anyone bought the Sentinel XS and modded it at Hao's? When I first upgraded to The Artist Formerly Known as E&E, I decided to buy all the vehicles that came with the launch, I think there were 5 in total, and I upgraded all of them. I also snagged my free Banshee, I had the Drag in my MC Club and bought the Turismo Classic and loaded them up with all the HSW mods. But (and this is on me, not the game) I am having a helluva time driving them. LMAO they are WAY too fast and fly over the road because I am not used to them yet. They are beasts, though. I tried that HSW Time Trial by the Casino a few times with a some of the cars, but had a helluva time beating the time. When I beat it, I think it was with the Weaponized Ignus.

 

Anyway, it seems like the Sentinel XS fully upgraded is slower than the other ones, though it's still crazy fast, too. But until I get used to these monster fast cars, that Sentinel seems a little easier to control. Anyone else finding that? Also I put the second to last HSW Livery on it, and the car looks absolutely stunning!

 

How do you unlock that last livery? It says "Beat all HSW Time Trials" but the only two I was able to play were the one you have to beat where HAO gives you the car to use and that one in East Vinewood. Are there any others? Because I don't see any on the map. Unless this will take a few dripfeed weeks of Time Trials to unlock?

For answers about vehicle performance, check out: https://www.youtube.com/broughy

As for the HSW Time Trials, a new one will appear each week, like the RC and normal Time Trials. 
How many is there in total?  You got me.

Cool thanks! So essentially when we will be able to open up that livery is unknown at this time, right?

Thanks for testing it out. Have you tried pulling the ethernet cable to make it switch to wifi (or vice versa)?

It's not possible to datamine PS5 & Xbox Series versions. So we have no idea.

[Rammer2k]

Still holding off a bit before transferring over, but any chance getting Shiny Wasabi will be easier on E&E over last gen?  That green haired b...ch has been the bane of my existance.

Lowering my MTU to 750 on PS5 still worked and helped me get a solo lobby. I did it to sell my nightclub stock the other day. I dont waste my time trying to sell in a public lobby, heck even one with 5-6 players bc I just dont trust anyone in this community when it comes to my grind lol..Every lobby has been terrible with griefing since I have entered the PS5 world. But yes, sorry for my rant. It does still work for PS cant confirm for Xbox though.

[ChiroVette]

Hey, is anybody else having a problem going AFK? I tried it with the nightclub security cameras and the bunker security cameras, and I always get kicked off online. I tried settingting the MTU back up to 1500 and that still didn’t help. I also made sure that my controller was plugged in and charging, and I check the settings on my PS5, and the controller is set to not turn off.

 

Any idea what’s going on?

Edited March 20 by ChiroVette

[That69Guy]

The only way to go afk in the nightclub is by sitting on the couch in the office and watching the live feed from there. Security cameras or sitting at your desk and watching from computer no longer works. I do it when taking short breaks. I wouldn't leave my ps5 on while at work or while sleeping. Not worth risking my system for a few gta dollars.
