And there's a new comment on the FAQ question. http://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200435267-Loss-of-characters-rank-items-apartments-and-or-in-game-money-in-GTA-Online

I wonder if it's OK for me to create a new character on the 2nd character slot while they work out the issues on my main guy.

I think your first character is gone, if you can access other cloud stuff like BAWSAQ and snapmatic and they don't appear. I'm in the same situation and tried a slot 2 character, which appears to be saving properly (so far). Surely if the cloud can retrieve my second character and BAWSAQ and snapmatic then it should be able to get my first guy if he still exists.

Mind you I don't know much about this cloud business, is a reason one thing on the cloud might load and another might not?

Edit- and this guy vanished even though I hadn't attempted to make a new character and hadn't hit retry at that screen (didn't even encounter the screen on that character).

You've already got a three star wanted rating just from the robbery, what's another dead man? :geno:

Gentwise posted:

People keep talking about how you can yell in the mic to speed up robberies, but it seems like you can also fire a few warning shots over the clerk's head to speed it up. I like to play target practice with the bottles behind them.

It's also useful to not advertise the fact you're vulnerable in a store to everyone around you.
If you're worried about that, just do one quick blow into your mic when the clerk slows down.

That reminds me, anyone know what causes the bug where you lose your hair when you remove a mask? Is it to do with the hairstyle, or the mask, or both? Encountered it with my long-haired male character and one of the skull masks.

Where do you buy masks? I saw someone on my team in team deathmatch earlier wearing a gorilla mask, but I don't remember seeing them at any clothing stores. Weren't they at some store on the beachfront in single player?

If you rob stores in succession you get progressively more stars for doing so. You have to rob 3-4 stores for an immediate 3-star response.

So the texting feature is fantastic.

I had some pubbie on a roof with a sniper rifle pinning me down. I decided to send him a text. I watched him lower his gun and pull out his phone so I popped out and shot him to hell and back.

He then proceeded to chase me for the rest of my time in that server. Poor guy was a terrible shot though.

I've sent messages over live to get the jump on people before, but watching them pull out their phone makes it so much easier.

I know this is from a few pages ago but how are you seeing people pull out their phones? From what I've seen players only ever physically pull out their phones when taking a photo.

I got invited to a mission, then it said "network error" and dropped me off at the thing along with the person who started the mission, who immediately shotgunned me before I realized what was going on. Was this his plan, I wonder?

edit: also I still want to confirm that there's no way to "sneak" when in an automobile. It would be nice if driving slowly and obeying the law made that possible, but I don't think so.

Actually, even if you don't wear a mask, anytime you lose the cops you can change any accessory to drop a star. The masks are mainly for making sure a store clerk doesn't recognize you on a return visit.

You can set where you spawn in online options: Property (you own), Hotel, or Last Location. If you ever get caught in the sticks without car delivery, just back out to story and make a new session. Maybe joining a new session works too, but I'm not for sure.

Good times with the 1009. Sgtwheelman & another goon (hector something?) were fleeing from some random hostile up on the north east coast highway. It was the coolest thing following the chase from above (playing news copter) as I watched them throw sticky bombs at the guy. Eventually I met up with them in the northwest town & we killed the guy a bunch for spamming us with text messages.

That was me, hakim. That hostile was following me because a NPC put a bounty on my head. It was real fun messing with him, and having a helo hovering overhead made it epic!

Start solo sessions over and over until you get a vehicle pattern with them. I've grabbed them from traffic but once the pattern is set in a session, it doesn't seem to change until you do the Simeon text message mission to deliver a car and it resets.

I've been doing this for a while but I can never even seem to get motorcycles to spawn let alone the Nemesis I'm looking for. Is there a general area on the map where they tend to spawn?

Same here. I lost a level 5 or something character on day 1, made a new one on day 2 which lasted me til this sunday and started getting all the toys you need to mess with people in free roam (sticky bombs, sniper rifle etc) then the fucker disappeared.

Im not playing again until my character comes back or at the very least until people stop reporting freshly deleted characters.

Any idea on how often the game lets you do that? I don't think I'm rank 8 yet and the game asked me if I wanted to redesign my character once. But it also said it was the only time. Would've been nice to periodically revamp the appearance of the character. I am happy with how he looks but still.

Hearing all the problems with GTA:O makes me glad I'm leisurly playing the singleplayer and only just hit 50% of the story missions. Although I did create a character and briefly played online (of course it initially tested my patience during the "Launching Session" poo poo before the Lamar race).

I still don't "get" most of it, but it was fun dicking around with a couple goons in a party lobby, or whatever the hell that was.
Speaking of, are there two playmodes? Free-roam and "mission lobby" or something?
