Can I still run my 16x coveted playlist for funbucks or is that a total waste of time now?

Custom plates have to be unique so I guess that's why. Once you set it it's locked to you and nobody else can have the same plate. This is a good or bad thing depending on how much you care about being *~**~*unique*~**~* I somehow have different custom plates on singleplayer to online though. My first custom plate order was put in and I got them in singleplayer, then the next time I started the app it had all reset. I tried to put in the same plate and was told it was taken, put in a different one and that became my online plate. This has persisted in the generation switchover.

geeves posted:They can still check uniqueness if you were to setup the plate on Social Club or in game. When I say custom plates I mean literally "In single player my characters can all have the same custom plate I entered into the app which is different to the custom plate I have on my online account", not that characters have their own custom plates.

Wheany posted:Sure, but even if they need to be unique (why?), there is no reason why you couldn't change them as many times as you want. Twitter somehow manages it with their usernames and I'm going to make a wild guess that more people use Twitter than play GTAO. Who knows, add it to the list of other weird design choices made. Maybe they didn't want people sitting on interesting plates and selling them? It's more likely to just be weird design choice than this but that's the only thing I can think of that could possibly happen if they let people chop and change plates while retaining the uniqueness

Just spent ~4 hours in total plugging away at missions and dicking around, they really do seem to have fixed the grind. Went from 63 to 66 and made 350k which I then blew on modding out a blista compact

My team at work gave me a £15 psn card and there's nothing I want to buy because most digital full game titles are all £15 cheaper on physical media anyway. Do I just buy GTA funbux? My heart says yes but my head says no, because thats maybe 1 fully modded supercar and some change for funsies.

If anyone on PS4 needs race wins for unlocks hit me up on PSN, I need 20 more slipstreams for lava red so I don't mind letting you beat me in a criminal records 1 lap playlist for a while. PSN ID is Tarwedge

Does the turbo bug apply to vehicles which were upgraded before transferring to next gen? I took the turbo off my old entity (keeping all my other max performance upgrades) then I got absolutely smoked on the freeway by someone in another entity and only just kept pace with a bullet someone else brought on a mission.

I wish they'd add a personal vehicle selection menu to the job lobbies. Sometimes I just want to tool around in whatever but then you get a job where you know you're going to need to haul rear end and I regret not just being in my Entity all the time

My modded except for turbo akuma just got rinsed by some guy on a sanchez. I'm starting to think I am just such a terrible driver I can't achieve top speed whilst on a straight freeway with no traffic interference going in a perfectly straight line because this poo poo is silly.

im pooping! posted:Are you tucking when you're going straight? It makes a big difference. Tucking as in leaning forward on the stick or tucking as in using the newly added duck button? The former yes, the latter no because I have no idea where that button went after I switched back to alternate handbrake because who the gently caress puts the handbrake on R1 with the accelerator on R2

BitBasher posted:gently caress tucking, pull back and do a wheelie on straights, makes you go faster than tucking. This is literally a straight line. Heading down the highway to a mission objective and sanchez bro just blows past me. He then wiped out immediately on contact with a car so I still got there first but it's the principle.

Policenaut posted:What are they even going to be. Rockstar's never really talked at all about them in how they'll play or work. I don't see how they could be anything other than long multi-part missions like the Los Santos Connection which means pubbies will gently caress them up for you 9 attempts out of 10 anyway, and the payouts won't be much or you'll be limited to 1 every x period of time because otherwise shark cards don't get bought. No matter what they are they aren't going to live up to the hype, people have gotten themselves so wound up about it without even thinking about what they'd actually be getting.

Kelly posted:Blow It Up II from Simeon. I haven't done it in a couple weeks but it was paying out 20k and 10 RP for about 10 minutes of killing cops in a tank. Did this last night and while the payout was great it took me like 15 minutes to escape my wanted level due to 5 stars online apparently increasing police's psychic powers and giving them all xray vision.

mysterious frankie posted: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 at least set freeroam chat to crew/friends which cuts out the constant howling of pubbies but still lets you listen to them flip out when you kill them.

Policenaut posted:Every time I boot the game up on PS4 I routinely run into like 5 or 6 LLJKs and I bump into them all the time in random match making. It's nice. Ive had plenty of sessions start off with a quick 20 minute rampage across the map with a random LLJK without any kind of coordination or attempting to join a session with crew members on purpose, and that's on euro times where the bulk of us seem to be playing on a US schedule.

Spent a million dollars on new house, new car, new tattoos. I now have to find 9 more PV's to fill these spaces  EDIT: Just grabbed a special crate with a minigun and got the award and t-shirt unlocks, merry christmas to me Anyone know if I can keep the minigun forever or if it's going to vanish when I run out of ammo, I can't just buy one because I'm only level 77 History Comes Inside! fucked around with this message at 12:36 on Dec 18, 2014 |

Policenaut posted:Wow so am I missing something about the new racecars? On paper they go SLOWER than their original models (Massacro [195 MPH] Massacro Racecar [156 MPH] and they cost more too (275k -> 385k). I guess it's just the liveries? I grabbed the Massacro and it can be resprayed from a limited selection of colours with the livery overlaid, it has a secondary colour selectable but nothing actually seems to change on the car so god knows what that's actually colouring.

I'll wait for confirmation from multiple sources before pissing away 50k apiece on putting them back into all my cars. Because that's a million dollars of turbo to risk wasting

Well they're partway there, I just found out the hard way you don't get automatic insurance anymore on cars you take off the street into your garage. When did that change?

BitBasher posted:It has always been that way, from day one. You have to drive it into an LSC and insure it. If you didn't, there would be no reason for that item ever to exist at LSC. It would exist there for the same reason the tracker does, if you drive off the street straight into LSC instead of taking it home first.

NeoSeeker posted:I'd have to say they can't be next level better than you. You need to learn how to maneuver and even with collision off it helps to watch how other people handle. Then again you can always get frustrated halfway through and stop racing. R1 is the default on the current gen, X is default last gen. They can be swapped over for people like me who feel that letting go of the accelerator to brake is for people who aren't taking advantage of other road users and furniture to make turns successfully.

NeoSeeker posted:Are you sure? I thought the X button and the R button brakes were separate? Like one is the handbrake while the other is the typical wheel pad brake. Positive. Default on current gen was R1 for handbrake and X to duck down in your seat and I know this for certainty because I spent the whole of the first Franklin mission wondering what the gently caress had happened to my brakes until I found the menu option to swap them back.

NeoSeeker posted:Duck down in your seat? When I say X I'm talking about PS4. The default in car action for X is to duck down in your seat. You switch to alternate handbrake and that moves to R1. If you are also using alternative drive by then R1 would be your trigger when aiming with L1, otherwise it's duck. Ducking is a new gen version only thing.

You presume other players pay enough attention to hear the beeps or even notice the loving bombs right there in plain sight. I've got plenty a kill with a sticky just by putting it on the floor or sticking it to a wall and waiting around the corner for them to go near it.

Head to the northernmost mod shop (i think it's northernmost, its the one that isn't a Los Santos customs up in blaine county) and check the houses directly north of it, I have without fail found a sultan there every time I've gone looking for one with a friend.
