I tried to get on a number of times last night and a number of different ways, joining crew mates, joining friends, joining randoms and joining a solo session and I couldn't get on once. Hopefully when I get home from work today things will be different but I'm not counting on it.


That's a lie. I am counting on it. plz R*

I'll run Blow It Up II with my tank on PS4 for anyone who wants to join in to rank up. It takes about 10 minutes total - you have to kill at least 200 cops and you get about 9200 RP and 20K in class. To compare, most missions don't pay more than 5k in RP.


PSN - cashcamden99. I will be on tonight, after 8:30 est if anyone is interested. You will have to friend me since crew matching doesn't work.

I'm very interested. I'll add you when I get home tonight and be looking for you around 8:30 est

Yea, PSN: Thaxxas

Is joining friends working better than joining crew members? I've tried constantly to join crew members and one of three things usually happens. I end up on a server by myself, I end up on a server with one other goon and he's either afk or doin his own thing or I get into a fairly full room with a few goons in it and get an error message and dropped within 5 minutes of getting in so I've been entertaining myself by running missions solo in the buzzard I bought this weekend.

Also, not that I saw many of them on the last gen, but has anybody seen an armored truck?

Yeah, I've seen a few in single player and 2 online that were spawned empty. no drivers, no money but totally stealable.

More even. I won The Commute the other day with like 14 cars and won over 10K.

Your method for blow up II seems like a winner to me. I'm saving for my next big purchase. A Tank. Looking back on last night, I should have went and got my buzzard sooner because standing behind the building with the banshee while you're blasting away is frigging chaotic.

Oh yeah...there isn't a good place to be when you're on foot unless you leave the scene completely. The buzzard was aces though - you took care of 50 cops alone. Just under 10k RP for that run alone.

Haha. That explains all the wrecks. Normally I'm pretty good on the akuma, though that mission was just a disaster. The guy in he banshee had wrecked, I was just pulling out my shotgun to kill him and you ran over me killing me. :v:

Was it you or Geebs that blew me out of the sky lastnight? I got into a room with a bunch of people in it but only 1 other goon who happened to have a bounty so I grabbed my buzzard and flew over in his direction when something locked on to me and fired and missed. The next rocket blew me up so hard I dropped due to a network error before I respawned.

That was me (I am Geebs...confusing with Geeves here too haha) but yeah when I am 30 minutes deep into a 9k bounty I just shoot anything I see, especially helicopters.

It was glorious. I have no idea where the gently caress you were. I was looking for you in a car before I got the buzzard, and then I got the buzzard and I still couldn't find you. If there wasn't anyone else around to shoot I may have taken a crack at that 9K and actually got to see the whites of your eyes before you smoked me lol.

As for that grenade Geeves, if I remember correctly I seen it a fraction of a second before it went off. Totally worth it if the white dot died too.

I bought GTA 5 for PS3 the day it came out and did pretty well at the single player. I created an online character but didn't play very long or whatever and only got to rank 7. I know I was gifted a large amount of money from R* or something because I have a 10 car garage, but I bought this for PS4 recently and have mainly just been playing online and my goodness, this game is super fun online. A couple issues with connectivity, but overall pretty enjoyable. Last night I was trying to play some cat and mouse by just getting bounties put on myself.

Maybe I'll post in the crew thread but for now I'm having fun just being a silent pubby.

It's too bad voice doesn't get recorded too because the whole room busting out laughing was just as funny as the incident itself. You guys are fun. My race went completely downhill after that. It's too hard to drive and laugh at the same drat time.

This will sound dumb, but how do you add crew members to friends list? I was on yesterday doing a few missions with some goons (particularly sgt_driveby or something like that) and I just kind of hope I get job offers from goons.

I am dumb, but the way I've been doing it is going into the PS4 friends tab and searching through the names of guys I've played with recently and picking the ones I know. Once you get into a party with goons it's easy, you can add to your friends list by clicking on names. Feel free to add me, PSN is Thaxxas.

Full on belly laugh followed by gasping for breath hilarious and there was many more funny moments last night too. It was a good night.

I tried this for the first time last weekend. Was murdered repeatedly, every time almost minutes after respawning, while a British retard who sounded like he was always talking through mouthfuls of chip butty about how fat Americans are and a hick child bellowed at one another through my speakers. Is that... is that the basic GTA Online experience, or can I do something to make it not bad all of the time?

You can play with Goons. And you can change chat options so that you can only hear crew members and friends.

I've had pretty much 0 success in joining any jobs, crew sessions, or basically anything besides running around in free roam by myself. If I go On Call, very occasionally I can get in a race with 1 or 2 other people, but every other time it says "failed to connect" or something. I'm on PS4 if that matters at all.

Check your NAT type on your ps4 network settings or config or something. I can't remember the process but it's easy, google it. It's been my experience that anything other than NAT type 1 is nothing but problems and GTAV is the only game that's ever given me this kind of issue. I don't know why. I sell car parts for a living and don't know poo poo about poo poo when it comes to technology and how it works or why it doesn't.

Up until last week I was having the same issues as you, joining online would put me in a lobby by myself, when I did get into a lobby with other players within minutes there would be a mass disconnect and everyone but me would get dropped or I'd lose connection due to an unknown network error, joining jobs quick or via the job menu would get me into the job lobby but 90% of the time I'd get an error and dropped at launch etc etc etc. So after doing the afore mentioned google search I checked and my poo poo was NAT type 2. There are a couple ways to change this to type 1. Open some ports on your router if you're handy or if you're smrt like me then plug your PS4 directly into the modem. Voila, NAT TYPE 1

Since then I've had zero disconnects due to random network errors, no issues getting into jobs, no problems joining peeps on my friends list for the most part and it's been loving glorious. The last two nights in a row I've done 9 job playlists created by a Goonbro for Goonbros and not been disconnected at all. So check your NAT type.

The only hope is lag when someone dives in close - like with the heavy sniper. I brought someone down using one last night but only because they were so low and not actually shooting at me.

There was what? A half dozen or more Goons running around when that guy was strafing us with the jet? If that same incident happened tonight then we would have seen smoke trails from a half dozen or more missiles being fired from various places within a couple mile radius. I can picture it.

I fired at least that many rounds at him but I'm not even sure if I hit the jet. Do you have to lead the target like in that one SP mission or is it a lazer beam if he's in your crosshairs?

I'm going to ask this without honestly trying to sound like too much of a douchebag... Would you prefer I not join in races with you guys? If you want to just race each other I wouldn't butthurt at all if you asked me to gently caress off because I race a lot. I'm not sure I wasn't hurting the enjoyment of races for you guys. I was considering dropping out in the middle of the playlist when I won a catch up on/slip stream on race by like 20 something seconds. I would understand if you guys thought I was making GBS threads on your fun or something, and everyone was really quiet.

No, hell no! The best way to get better at a given game is by playing against and with players that are better than you. I didn't have my "A" game last night and I don't think the results would have been any different if I did. I've thoroughly enjoyed the racing of the past week. Last night I came in second last overall but I had fastest lap on 2 of the races and I very nearly had you on that last or second last race. I'm sure some nerds would get a little pissy getting smoked by you every race but I don't think any of guys from last night would. They're a pretty chill bunch I've noticed. CashCamden had every right to lay right into me when I smoked him going into that one corner I thought was a jump ( I was loving baked) but he didn't. As far as it being quiet I can only speak for myself here but I can't chew bubble gum and walk at the same time let alone race and talk. When I'm racing, I need to focus. That and I'm not a real chatty person to begin with so I usually have my headset muted so no one has to listen to me breathe and of course when I do say something I forget to unmute my poo poo.

Also double tapping the E-brake is a godsend. It does something the equivalent of your car shifting down a gear and gives you a shitload of control with minimal impact to speed.

Personally love to race, it's just whenever I'm on I'm not exactly in the racing frame of mind typically.

I did not know this. The e-brake has always scared the poo poo out of me when racing. I use it, but not very often.
