48 actual hours of playtime (not the game's time, or real-world time, but actual YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS MUCH time) of "bad sport" servers for a first time offender is buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

It's real world time. I got bad sport Thursday at 11:01 and it expired today at 11:01 on the dot, even with all the commendations.

Also good playing with you earlier Duke, btw this is Wayne G.

So, I was doing a few missions with some goons and dropped out into a session with some pubbies. One of these wouldn't shut the gently caress up, and we kept making fun of him. Especially because had a bounty set my an NPC and was certain it was one of "us bitches" and he was going to "roll" on us when he found out who it was. He said he wanted to "come see me" and that his "boy" was coming with. I called Pegasus, picked up my Rhino, and had all the Goons in session watch me on TV. I blew the gently caress out of him and his boy. Unfortunately for me, both were in personal cars, and that on top of earlier antics, put me into bad sport hell.



Wow, you really owned those fools by getting stuck in the retard people lobby with no way to play with your mates until you get out. That'll show them.

I think if someone tries to creep on you first there should be some kind of flag that lets you take their car out if they're in it. I mean it only makes sense.

You car should be flagged for free destruction if anyone has fired from it in the last 2 minutes or so.

Yeah, something like that. Or anything like that really. I mean MMOs figured this one out a decade ago.

On top of that, if a couple of us want to gently caress around and have so much money we don't care if we blow up our cars, I'd like to even be able to toggle it off. I don't care at this point about 1000 bucks.

You're still getting points towards it no matter what. So if you do that often enough, you will.

I probably blow half a dozen people's cars up every night I play, through revenge or bounties, mostly as revenge or the result of hunting down their bounty. I still haven't gotten put in the corner yet, so you've got to really go on a rampage I'd imagine.

The bad sport mechanic is so silly. What do they expect people to do with the tank, go for scenic drives? I've even tried to drive a tank peacefully only to have multiple people slam their cars into me and it count towards my bad sport score.

You get a 10% bonus to RP if you do a mission with your crew. Also goon groups at a minimum are not filled with idiotic 12 year olds.

The only thing is, there's on location that isn't accounted for: 4 Integrity Way.

There's one picture of one view from #35; right at the north rim of the Financial District.



Can anyone else report on the other angles or the view from #30? Because for 235/247 grand...

Normally the game just shoves you in a free roam with a bunch of your crew. Its easy enough to host a mission and invite only crew. As for heists, well your guess is as good as mine.

You missed it, right after he left in shame/rage and you got booted for bad sport status I relentlessly crushed his boy with my Sandking until he too left in shame/rage.

Is anyone else having strange issues while hosting missions?

I've gotten wrong waypoints, gang attacks merged into the mission, and just now everyone completely disappeared and the mission progressed, but I couldn't complete it.

I figure it is a network thing, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Having a mic is fun, and you get set it to talk to crew and friends only. When mine ran out out batteries is was still fun to stare creepily at people and stumble drunkenly through their expensive apartment.

Bi-Han now we've got Bad Blood
3/10 the mics are kids (there was literally one today who said "I'm 9. Please stop saying cuss words. Who keeps using cuss words? What do you mean wheres my sister? She's not in your bed)
2/10 Their whiners (Had some whiny oval office who sniped me and dr abysmal get mad after we killed them like 8 times, and yes thats what they get for sniping us, RUDE)
1/10 Call of duty bro (One kept calling everyone who killed him a friend of the family. Then used the "Im not racist my best friends black" thing. I think at that point everyone was chain killing him, that being when I joined in, for him to simply give up and say 'bro im leaving, I'm going to play COD this is lame')

The rest are decent folks, goons with mics often just keep to themselves or just have fun it seems. During some missions at least 1 person with exp and a mic is EXTREMELY valuable (1st mixed up with coke run, etc)

I really want a sports car but I can't seem to keep above 300K between weapons and upgrades.

I'm barely patient enough to win 50 races for chrome cars.
Do I have to win them or just complete them?
