There were two highlights of that session though... 1) I spawned my tank, which three of them in their tanks found and surrounded waiting on me. So I came in via heli, went off radar, and parachuted right on top of it which they didn't see. Proceeded to blow the gently caress out of all three of them who couldn't figure out where the tank fire came from. But, because there's no cool down on respawning your tank (which is mind-numbingly stupid), they just kept getting a new one by the race track. Which led to the second highlight... 2) I blew them up again, destroyed my tank, and went straight to the track, waited for them to respawn their tanks, and took them, blew them up, and kept killing them until they teleported again. They did not like this and complained much. Still though.. PLEASE REMOVE THE loving TANKS FROM THE GAME. THEY ARE TOTALLY UNBALANCED AND ARE FUN-RUINERS.

I don't understand how they can let every server become a tank fest. At least give us an option for tankless servers. Edit: vvvvv Actually, that's another big problem with the game. Its been how long and we still have so many network issues. A c E fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Jan 10, 2014 |

On the rare occasion I am not caught in the open and get spawn killed by tanks, I will go all out to get something like that to happen again and again.

Combat rolls are the best. That guy was holding his own against us, but them went and got his tank...at least twice.

On the rare occasion I am not caught in the open and get spawn killed by tanks, I will go all out to get something like that to happen again and again. I usually go into passive as soon as I see a tank, get RPG ammo and find a rooftop or something. Under a bridge works too if you're at the far end from them.

A fun thing to do is going into Traditional GTA aiming mode sessions and sniping people. It's the most low effort aiming mode (also the default I believe) and most of the people there absolutely cannot comprehend how they are getting killed by someone they can't lock on to. I got 3 hate messages in one session alone.

For those looking to max out strength skill. Play golf for 1 hole start and end. Repeat for as long as it takes. Took me 1.5hrs from just above 20 to 100. Tennis didn't move my bar any and beating on cars didn't work. You will notice the bar moving with golf and it's not so bad to play. And bonus is you can solo.

Tanks actually don't bother me as much anymore since I've gotten better at sniping people out of them then turning it against them. There's not many better feelings in this game than hoisting a pubbie by his own petard and watching him run.

You have to get a good distance away. In fact, I'm fairly certain tank sniping is an unintended mechanic resulting from rendering distances. You also have to find the right street for it, where elevation changes in the road will not block your shot. If they aren't distracted, you can usually lure them to a good ambush spot,get a good distance away, and pop them when the predictably drive straight at you. A good rule of thumb is to aim for the front left headlight of the tank.

Install Windows posted:I sincerely wonder how you people keep turning up on servers full of tanks.  )I'm at the 'buy apartment / garage' stage now, and even though midtown has the best places I'll probably go for somewhere downtown or county so I don't get hosed every time I leave the house. I'm not that good a player, which is why I can see how people could end up getting pissed and leaving the game for good.

 Weazel Action News! Clouding: Fad or faith?  Good Evening, Los Santos. I'm Seraphine 'Raph' Tadokoro, and tonight we're exploring the latest trend in Los Santos: Clouding. What is clouding, you ask? And why does it only seem to attract convenience store owners? Weazel Action News hit the streets to find out.  "It's like a... mind blowing experience," says Jae Lee Park, who works just outside of Rockford Hills. "You put your hands up in the air, and you feel... free." Reaching for the sky makes him feel closer to what may be out there, he tells Weazel Action News. After dropping his hands to his sides, Park suddenly feels extremely charitable, donating his store's daily take to whoever might be in his store at the time.  But there may be a dark side to this new religion. "I can't stop. I keep on doing it. For the love of God, make me stop doing it!"  That's nice.  For Weazel Action News, I'm Seraphine Tadokoro.

A good rule of thumb is to aim for the front left headlight of the tank. It's absolutely unintended, since it only works when you're far away enough (and it's also good for sniping drivers in vehicles at a distance). I've had success hitting just under the hatch where you enter the tank, but it only seems to work if the hatch is already facing me - I can't hit tank drivers if the back of the tank is towards me.

DoYouHasaRabbit posted:I got a Jackal last night and it got impounded by the cops. Last time I had a different car destroyed when this happened and I could calls Mors and get my car back. Now when I called my Mechanic for my Jackal it says destroyed by it. My Jackal isn't at the impound or in my garage. Does that mean it's gone forever? poo poo I didn't think you wanted that Ocelot, when another weazel member showed up in a dump truck I figured I'd test it out a bit, but that joyride was cut short. I spent all day trying to find a Tailgator after failing all day yesterday to find a Sultan. After switching servers about 25 times each at the golf course and behind the tennis court on the southern beach I gave up. I played a some missions and races, and after exiting to free mode I decided to check the golf course one more time for shits and giggles. What do you know the Tailgator was there! I quickly put it in my garage. I then realized it was about time to sell one of the upgraded Dominators that DoYouHasaRabbit gave me. I teleported to the northenmost modshop (I forget the name) to avoid griefers blowing me up. As soon as I spawned I was flooded in Sultans. It figures for this game, spend a couple of hours trying to find the Sultan and Tailgator and no dice, gently caress around for 5 minutes and you find both.

Really want to try the Cleaning The Cat House RP glitch, but I need the mission. Are there any reliable ways to get new missions from Madrazo? Everyone says to call him, but calling a contact only sends you jobs you've completed already. Seems you just have to get them randomly sent to you. (My character has been sitting in her house for 3 hours now waiting for Madrazo missions, I've tied down the right thumbstick with some toothpaste so I don't get kicked for idling.)

Can't be all fun and games cruisin down the boardwalk sippin on your latte killing sheeple that get in the way of your leasurly drive. All that driving will make your tight packed abs get all flabby.
