There's no way Rockstar is going to ban people for doing nothing except playing their loving game, right? It's not like I asked for 300 million dollars, maybe program your game better so this poo poo doesn't happen.

They have put in some christmas themed clothes for free and some masks too. The reindeer one is rather cute. Didn't stay on long enough to have a good look at everything though in case there are others, but there are definitely t-shirt and suit jackets that are seasonal. I don't know if they last for the holiday or will be in long after. Would be so nice to see lights and stuff, but I figure that would be perhaps too much effort. And I'd like to thank the weazels that have been putting up with me (loftwyr) tagging along lately. I'm still a noob but picking up things slowly. Thanks for not murdering me

It's not like I asked for 300 million dollars, maybe program your game better so this poo poo doesn't happen. They couldn't. Worst possible scenario I could imagine is they reset your character, which is a vast stretch. Honestly, think about how many people play the game and don't wanna pay real life money for currency in a broken game. The numbers are slanted so far towards the players and pro-glitch. There are plenty of players who have more programing/networking experience than the developers who released GTA Online. At this point, you might as well call it "The War on Glitching" to give it the same brand as America's "War on Drugs." It's become an endless cycle. Rockstar might as well give up and see if they can find another source of revenue. cname fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Dec 24, 2013 |

What if they finally fix or find out a way to detect the cheats/glitches, and then start offering a prestige-type incentive for starting over? edit: ElwoodCuse posted:People were saying it didn't start yet but there's a newswire post that says they are going to make it snow in the game for two weeks Kind of. The tunables.json file on rockstar's servers has this entry in it: "BASE_GLOBALS":{"TURN_SNOW_ON_OFF":[{"value":true,"start":1387929600,"end":1388034000}],"TOGGLE_XMAS_CONTENT":[{"value":true,"start":1387882800,"end":1388966340}] So that's Noon on Christmas to 5am the following day for snow and today at 11am to January 5th at 11:59pm for the Christmas content. an AOL chatroom fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Dec 24, 2013 |

Of course, whenever my car is impounded, I just have mechanic being me my OTHER Infernus and pay the deductible for the one that gets destroyed. I'm not gonna waste time driving to the impound when I could be bombing dumb gently caress pubbies repeatedly. Of course, with habits like this, I hope some random person gifts me another 175mil sometime soon...

Well.. my prayers were answered. I got gifted another pile of cash. Now sitting at $255,797,786 million, which is not near as conspicuous as billions. I guess... My wanton destruction can thankfully continue since I promptly bought a boat, a tank, a dump truck, and a Titan. Yay for death! Edit: and he's dressed as Santa! How precious!

Someone gave me 800 million a few days ago. Now another guy gave me 600 million. I can't even buy a tank or buzzard because I'm not a high enough level. Oh the sadness.

That seems like a waste of time to report. Especially since it doesn't effect that fact that people have been glitching money for how many months of the games life now? They are only reporting on it because it's dry season for game news.

Yes you can - my level 5 character has access to all the warstock kit after a 60million gift last night. Might as well spend it while you've still got it  Details in this video - this still works as of this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCGhSD6u_go

I mean I didn't want to spend time trying to hack the game to get money, but I'm not going to complain that someone dumped a few hundred million into my lap. I read people doing hard resets and stuff, but I just can't believe I'd get banned for having it happened to me. Free money is cool!

If a bounty is in negative dollars it's clear that it is, right? I've seen bounties placed for huge amounts but been too afraid to get them just in case they were the bad kind.

I had a -989,000,000 bounty placed on me in my last session. Took quite a while for the wrong sucker to mow me down. I'm totally down with free money (I got $200 million) but the negative thing is just lovely. I was hoping to last longer, seeing as though there was a major penalty to killing me. This game is the poo poo with near-unlimited money. I hope to get another gift before all the fun is disposed of and R* expects its player base to go back to grinding repetitive missions for meager sums. Mice Everywhere posted:If a bounty is in negative dollars it's clear that it is, right? I've seen bounties placed for huge amounts but been too afraid to get them just in case they were the bad kind. Yeah - it clearly had the negative symbol in front of my alert. Of course anyone new to the server or anyone who didn't see the alert wouldn't know.
