Nope. I was playing fine an hour ago, then I had to leave to run some errands. I just got back and my character is deleted. Oh well. I guess I should go ahead and finish the single player anyways..

Holy poo poo this is still happening? I was trying to get a decent answer out of support but it's nothing but the same canned response copied every time. I thought they had everything sorted and were in "let's see if we can get stuff back phase. " Do they really not have any backups anywhere? My phone ate all my text messages this morning but I had a backup and ended up losing only a few texts overall.

Maybe they can just solve all the problems, say "that was a beta test" and reset everything.

Last night I had a lot of fun with some goons, we grinded duct a bit, the host had auto aim off so it was a lot harder but really rewarding. I still cant find the place to make a private online game with friends and crew on ps3, I swear ive looked in every screen I must just be missing it. I also don't like the fact that after I enter an online game with auto aim off, its stays off so I enter a new server now everyone 1 shots me well I try to properly aim.

I also made the mistake of telling a bunch of the people I played with to friend request me when I had a full list, my bad guys. Add me now I made some spots

Im on ps3 - Eskimo-bob

That free-aim master race host was me. Fun times dude.

Spent a good part of an hour farming that mission later on with three low level goons. I think it's a basic courtesy that when you hit level 15, you try and help some low level crew members into the mission for some quick starter cash and RP. With so many lost characters, and with toys and mission access behind level unlocks, it helps sooth some of the server woes and launch issues.

Got all the way up to level 22 in the end last night, doing job after job. Reckon today I'm going to freeroam mostly. Got a bunch of cash to drop on a sniper rifle and a suppressor. loving get in! I've also just been told that gang areas spawn on the map for me now, which if they are the same as the gang hideouts in Red Dead then they are one of the things I thought was lacking from the game. I guess armoured cars start spawning at some point too, so I can raid those rather than robbing stores. It's odd that the spawns are level locked (odd as in I don't know how that even works on servers with people of different level), but actually a cool idea if it all works well. I like the idea that the world becomes more rich and complex as you go on. Will only know later how well implemented it is, but in principle it sounds cool.

So what's the trick to be able to replay missions over and over (like Violent Ducts), I know they patched it but I remember someone mentioning that you can still repeat it. And how do you get access to the Base Invaders mission?

After the mission ends, you all vote Like then press R2 to restart. It might not show restart on the list, but just keep pressing it I guess, in any case it still works.

After the mission you vote and then flick the heck out of your right bumper. R2 or whatever. It won't give a prompt but will eventually say RESTART near your vote.

Since no one answered yet and creating giant piles of smokes and candy wrappers is amazing fun, you buy them at the same convenience stores you can rob.

Yeah be sure to load up on all the snacks & drinks each time you login. They're the only way to replenish health above 50% besides outdoor vending machines I believe. Sometimes they sell out but you can go to another store and buy more until your inventory is full.

You can eat/drink them by holding Back/Select to access the menu, then hold A/X on the "Quick Action" setting, or open the inventory screen and hold A/X on a specific item. If you just tap A/X your char will only take one bite/sip then discard the rest.

You can also hold both thumb click buttons down to perform "Quick Action" but if you need to keep moving it's more comfortable to open the Back/Select menu and hold A/X while walking with the left stick.

Also, restarting missions is Right Trigger on 360, right? As I'm still not 100% on how to do it.

I sent you a message if the offer is still good. And yea the Right Trigger is the restart, after you vote for the mission. Just don't hit A at the end mission screen.

If anyone else is looking to grind Violent Duct on 360, hit me up. Gamertag is Wise Prey

Top Fun has a team on motorbikes racing to the docks. They start out in the sticks, then head through the city. The other team take off in jets and try to blow them up. It is as awesome as it sounds. The jets need some early kills as once the bikes are in the city they get a lot more cover. Jets end up suiciding a lot, and it's one life per player. I usually recommend that you play without team balancing, and have more jets than bikes. A 3:2 ratio or higher is better, unless you have really skilled pilots.

Top Fun II has the runners in high end cars.

I finally got jacked at the ATM (the activation area for the ATM is so finicky, if only I could have accessed it a few seconds earlier...), and put out a hit on the guy. But then I ended up killing him myself and got the contract money back, but he had already deposited my cash. This is a weird game.

Also, is there any way to "sneak" when driving, or do you always show up to other players when you are in a car?

Really? That just seems like it'd be too easy. If the jet can't blow the stunt plane out of some open sky, loiter above them as they fly through the skyscrapers and rain missiles on them, trying to get them to suicide.

Listen, Mr. Kansas Law Dog.

I have no idea why this is happening but my cars are multiplying.



I did a mission in my car, and when it was over, I flew a plane back to my apartment, leaving my car at the airstrip. When I went into my garage, my car was there. I went back to the airstrip, picked up the other one, and voila, two of the same car. I flipped one at LS Customs, saved, and left.

When I started a new session, not only did I have two of those Dominators in my garage again, but I also had two Phoenixes, and not even exact clones - one was from before I changed the tires out.



And yeah, the game's letting me sell the clones. The Dominator fetched 88k because it's all tricked out.

"Surprise, muthafucka."
"Join Crew Members" does not seem to work at all, and "Find New Session" isn't putting me in sessions with STRS or even friends.

Going to "Crews" and then trying to join games through members seems like it probably works, but is everyone using assisted aiming? Because everyone I try gives me the targeting warning.

I just want a free aim free roam with goons...

Stunt planes are crazy maneuverable and can fly circles around the jet, so it's harder than you'd think. They have to go from the Sandy Shores airfield to the airport, though, which is a bit of a long flight even direct (I just flew up to the top of the sky box and the two newbie jetfighters never found me, eventually crashing themselves into mountains after I told them I was in a tunnel :ssh:)
