If you or anybody wants to change something about the crew then just tell me and depending how much support it gets from the thread I'll make it happen. I've taken suggestions from Duke Chin regarding crew ranks before and I'll take suggestions from anybody.

It's [ timg ][ /timg ] and I'm loving stoked for the new Hydra, even if it looks weird as gently caress with twin tails / not a direct harrier rip off.

And I can tell you already i'm going to have a blast turning on Lester's Cops Ignore You skill while running traps/touch n go's on that offset deck :hawksin:

Not dead yet
Quick question. I've been dragging my feet when it comes to actually getting PS+ and I got the PS4 version of the game the day it came out. I got the preorder bonus for the extra money split across story and online although I haven't transferred my online character yet. My question is, will I eventually lose the chance to get the money when I finally get around to doing the transfer if I've waited too long? They finally made the average mission payout decent but I'd still like my bonus $500,000.


Sorry if anybody else addressed this earlier, still trying to catch up on the thread.

What's this about normalization?

It used to be some missions were really good $/RP per minute and hence, favorite grind targets. I'm really tired of Mixed up with coke, not coincidentally. A few patches ago Rockstar made it so that time spent on the mission matters a lot more than the specific mission itself - you can get $10k payouts from Simeon instead of his old, terrible $750 payouts. It really means playing any mission you want is profitable.

if I remember right the best way to maximize your cash and RP is to run on hard difficulty, in free-aim, and with 4+ players, missions that only accept 1-2 people excluded.

It should be noted that even after all this, Rooftop Rumble is probably still the most efficient mission for grinding.

The most important part is that you also get significant RP boosts for the low level missions so long as you take your time. You don't even need to go to the extra effort of keeping a wanted level going and blowing cops away, simply hanging out does plenty.

Finally got Blow Up II last night - turns out I had hardly done any of the Simeon missions.


Also finally really got my tank on in that mission.







Cop Slaughter Simulator 2k14 is pretty fun sometimes and the quick $20k was nice. :allears:

sure, but the entire idea of grinding has really been made less optimal overall.

Also, and this is really relevant to a crew where the highest level is 40 - you aren't so hosed as you used to be on early missions having garbage payout that was then cut in half after the first try. You guys can actually make money now.

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:
I haven't been treating it as grinding but I am at 409k from like 260, just by logging in every 45 or so minutes, selling a car and if I can sell simeons (green one, or random npc one off the list he texts you)

While it is pretty slow, it keeps away from the burnout of doing missions, if they are getting boring. I mean, it isn't hard money, just takes time, if you got other stuff to do and don't mind waiting through a loading screen or two. I'm almost always passive mode too, which makes the other players a non issue, if you do get the "wanted" vehicle.

Phone posting but bookmark the death match "Trevor's Torture Room" from the social club and play it a bunch with the settings changed to owned weapons and use the assault shotgun. Cramped quarters mean fast kills and easy cash.

New PS4 patch is live. I will find out what it contains other than your traditional "stability and minor fixes". 1.23gigs and of course the update history only states stability to gtao, unless this is 1.05?

Probably will have to wait and see what the R* news wires says about it. Usually these updates happen on mondays before the content release.

I broke and spent 120 on the greenich 10 car garage next to the airport, los santos custom and the heliport/marina. Pretty much my goto spot anyways for getting a heli off the bat, or selling a quick vehicle.

In total I was at like 440k, now I am at like 82k, if that. Nice to see there is stuff out there to buy with my money occasionally.

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.
