On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

So when's Rockstar fixing Turbo making vehicles go slower? It's a huge pain in the rear end to drive all 12 of my cars out to get it swapped out and again when they fix it.

I am sure a hacker knows all about rewarding and accomplished behavior. I mean, raping a chick with some mickeys is the same is getting laid right? Same result amirite guys? Nothing like work and not having to do it and get that sweet sweet payoff. :smug:
So I just thought of some stuff and I would maybe like some help if possible.

Does the new passive mode work for taking simeon's cars, even the non-green highlight, from finding one in the cellphone text? Like after I spray my patriot, that he wants. (I'm not sure if those are different than the general import car, that I will see and assume other players see)

What level does lester's kill targets open up at? I miss those. What level are the crate drops?

I swear the stuff like crates, kill target, and simeon cars were never level locked, but it kind of sucks for free roam now, since there is less stuff to jump on, at lower levels.

edit; Also can we try and start commending other goons, or can I get some love? Like I didn't realize how much that saves on general stuff, if only that 5%. I know there is a better discount once I platinum the gun range medals, I think. Was there any thing for LSC that can get a discount? I know first player has a ton of stuff connected to the lifeInvader stuff, but I am trying to think of how my main got stuff like stickies for much cheaper than what I am getting now.

edit2; also with the new passive mode, is it possible to have an actual Roleplaying cabbie player?

well they said the first PS4/Xbone update would also include heists, so logic suggests they'll never fix turbos

What level does

I think it's both level (12 for crates, 19 for trucks) and doing missions for Ron/TPI, Lester, Simeon, etc, so do some missions too. They give you phone calls which explain that poo poo, otherwise they don't unlock.

What is the best way of finding the "cheesey" challenges for the 250k stuff? Ones that are basically impossible to fail because I am Bad At Videogames. I found an easy 100k one yesterday but that was dumb luck.

From what I can tell this has actually been fixed today. I haven't seen a challenge over 5k since I started looking for my 250k for the day.

Thugz Prison Brawl or whatever it is is the worst deathmatch ever and I have no idea how it got verified. Every time I draw it I make an effort of playing it by running up the stairs, jumping out over the railing, stealing a cop car, and just loving around on the map while Lag of the North Star goes on.

I love it when it's a full group really. Also, I prefer to just run over and grab the cop bus and start mowing people down, for some reason every single time I've played it people are too busy grabbing the melee weapons and attacking each other to get the bus that makes you invincible.

I do find myself wondering if Rockstar patched the Crew Playlist Challenges. I know sometimes you don't see a 250k one... but the uniformity of what I am seeing feels very... fixed. Every single thing is either 1,000 or 5,000.

You know, I want the Buzzard bad enough that if this game was working properly, I almost Might be tempted to do that. Almost.

But this game needs some TLC so... no.

[edit] Jesus Christ, lag (I think?) aside, what the gently caress is up when like a few people are in within a few city blocks of each other. The games framerate goes into like single digits.

[edit2] I could very well be misremembering, but I don't recall having as much issue with literally being made of tissue paper (even with heavy armor on) when being shot by NPC mission mooks.

Last night, launching GTA:O straight from the initial loading screen made the game automatically quit itself twice last night. I successfully loaded up online after launching it from single player a couple, only to quit it out on me again after 10 minutes. The lobby had maybe 10-12 pubbies in it.

Is this happening to anyone else? I'm on Xbone btw

PS: who's up for some Horse Factory???

Yeah no issues on my end.

Might have been a problem with the servers then. Do you have open NAT?

Also sad that they patched another way at easy money. My challenges are all for 5k now. Getting 5k is not worth the 5 minutes of loading to get into the challenge. gently caress you Rockstar.

I thought this was the case too but I just did a 250k criminal records challenge literally one minute ago.

It was called "Hard Crew" or something like that if it helps.

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.

So I haven't played GTA Online since pretty much when it came out and I don't really understand what the challenge thing is. I see mention of the 250k/100k ones and I guess this is something that was added after I stopped playing or something, but I was hoping someone could give me a quick explanation of what it is exactly. I think, from what I can tell, you do need that amount of money already, right?

You need to be Level 5 and have enough to cover the bet. You also want to choose something like a 5-lap Criminal Records race (and race by yourself) with a total time of at least 2:30 (to be safe.) If you were to lose, you'd be out $250k.

However, all of that is moot because I am *NEARLY* certain that it got nerved. I have not seen a mission over 5k since this morning except for a fluke that showed up and then disappeared.

Rockstar, you suck. If you wanted to reduce the payout but still make something fun and worth doing then you have set the amount to 50K you turds, alternatively keep the sum at 5K and tie a multiplier the users crew level to make them want to play your game for longer periods of time and more frequently.
