I've blown up hundreds of personal cars and not once been sent to bad boy camp. You just have to lay off it for a while when you get the final warnings, you'll know them when you see them.

There are good points out there somewhere in this jibbering mess of a thread. The death penalty in free roam is there to keep some semblance of sanity. Free roam is not helicopter deathmatch, that's what helicopter deathmatch is for. Is it worth randomly griefing the pubbies for a chance at loosing two grand? It better be, otherwise you chose the wrong session. (Because there are session types for literally EVERYTHING). The only thing (as mentioned earlier) that could be changed outright is some of the bad sports mechanics, if the vehicle is empty and you blow it up, knowing it's some dudes ride, then sure... bad sport. If the dude is chasing you down the street firing a smg at you, then you should most definitely not get BS points. Random golf partners is lovely too. If me and my well-dressed golf buddies wanted some fuckshit to join us we would invite the public, or not. I hate having some total fuckshit randomly join. You sir are not adequately attired! Also, I don't know if the return to session stuff works as intended, it should be much more intuitive. Yes, these are my friends... yes we still want to play together, who are these other shits? The above are examples of constructive thoughts in regards to the state of the game.

Can someone who is Bad Sport'ed create an invite only session and see if they can invite non-Bad Sport friends? No randoms or anything, just friends. If they remove the ability to play with friends because you blow up some cars then it goes from "shucks no pubbies to troll for 2 days" to "don't play for 2 days"

Aurain posted:This is so dumb. Except 2k is nothing, it's the minimum price of a bounty and you can make 2k by robbing a store or 9k by driving a car into a garage. I make between 50k-100k an hour and I'm pretty bad at this game so that means you have to play 1 hour to be able to die 25-50 times and not lose anything. Also tell me whats the point of paying the 7500$ for mercenaries just to kill some guy

I don't understand the bad sport thing for blowing up personal cars, every time I've done it, I've got a bad sport warning and had the car's value deducted from my bank. Getting stuck in the dunce corner seems like a bit much to go on top of that.

It is incredible how you can totally screw someone over and over. Camping Gerald's apartment is pretty mean, most of the time people don't have any awareness and immediately open their phones to bank the money they just got from a mission without checking the map for hostiles first. I was ganked as soon as I spawned in from the tutorial by somebody who was probably pretty disappointed with his $100 take.

But they don't bad-sport you for blowing up occupied cars. They bad-sport you for blowing up 'personal' cars, which, unless they're painted in some wildly ridiculous way to indicate "this is a personal car." THAT'S the whole point. Handsome Ralph posted:I thought you had a valid point. Rockstar really doesn't seem like they know how they want this game to play out. Thanks. That's what I meant; yes, people are going to find different things to enjoy and that's FINE. Grinders, free-roam players, gently caress-around-ne'er-do-wells, they can and should all be able to get something out of this because it's such an open free world. That's my whole point, that Rockstar can't decide what they want out of online or how they want to steer the community to act. "Be a sociopath, but don't do this ONE thing!" "Enjoy these missions, but don't do them more than once!" TremorX fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Oct 9, 2013 |

They could easily fix that by changing a players white dot into a car icon or something on the minimap when in their personal one.RCarr posted:I'm pretty sure if 5 or 10 more people complain about their measly $2000 loss from dying Rockstar will patch it out. All evidence to the contrary, since they've specifically targeted money-making as things to bring the hammer down on. Which is cool since they have so much free time not unfucking everyone's lost poo poo, but hey yeah, better fix this money thing.

Bad Sport points should make you a more lucrative target to kill, like multiplying bounty reward on your head if collected and also extracting the award from your own bank account. Not this banned from game (it's not quite that, but pretty close) for 2 days stuff.

Spent a while in a survival match that got kind of political and devolved into a black guy telling us that he makes more money than we do in a week and we are all dumb rear end loving n words for not realizing that Obama ruined the country, a Canadian who was telling the black guy he is mentally handicapped, me laughing, and a Brit asking us to take turns talking and please be nice to each other and just enjoy the game. We won, then the black guy left. We played two more rounds then decided we had enough and went back to free roam. The three of us each have $3,000 bounties on our heads and five people are swarming down on us in the desert. We take them all out, then a sixth, seventh, and eighth player show up in a helicopter. I take the chopper out with my last rocket and get on a Sanchez and honk for the Brit to get on. We drive east to the mountains as an SUV is chasing us and eventually get away. I think the Canadian died. The Brit and I deposit our $50k+ from the survival matches in our savings accounts, then I kill him and send him half the bounty. Then my internet drops as I am texting him to let him know I have him half the bounty. Comcast says the internet will probably gone until the evening. I'm going out of town for a few days and probably won't get to tell the guy that I didn't screw him over. I load up social club to make sure my character wasn't deleted and I see that the game didn't save after I deposited all of my cash, so next time I log in I will have to deposit ASAP before people come to collect my bounty. Awesome game.

I (rightfully) got taken out and ended up texting and apologizing for it. Sometimes things happen so fast, mistakes can occur. Whoops! Also killed ExZippo at one point because I was just flinging sticky bombs everywhere and didn't realize he was riding behind us. That made me sad because we'd met up and rode the train tracks in that ridiculously beat-up car he posted earlier. Oh, and if any goons are in a freeroam session with me and see that I've put a bounty on a pubbie, go after it! It makes for great television viewing.

So I shot him in his car. Cue both of us frantically trying to apologize to each other.
