If they're not willing to put the snow in for longer or add it to the weather cycle then they should at the very least make it an option when it comes to races and player jobs.

edit: Also if special crate drops actually loving worked.

How are you supposed to exit from the Merryweather helicopter? I was stopped and was holding X to rappel and nothing was happening and upon pressing Y nothing happened. Is it broken on next gen consoles or something? I used to use it all the time on the 360 when I needed to go somewhere I wanted to do something irl for a minute or two.

Triangle works fine on PS4 for jumping out and parachuting, had to use the helicopter pickup earlier today due to mechanic apparently not wanting to bring a car anywhere near fort zancuso.

You can rappel down too?

yeap, it gives u a prompt when he finally hovers over the destination, but it won't come on over rooftops or if he hovers too high I think

I don't really remember the last time I didn't, um, 'dispatch' with the pilot and pilot myself tho...

I guess my helicopter was just glitched, it may have been because I entered the helicopter in passive mode (something I've never done before) and so it wouldn't let me interact with it. When I took passive mode off to try and get out all I could do was cycle through my weapons but not use them. I ended up having to kill myself.

You can rappel down only if you're the passenger and the Merryweather pilot is still piloting it.

Nicely done Rockstar.

Well yeah, if you're the pilot rappelling down would be a terrible idea.

I'll have to give this a look in next time I can get online, which isn't now because apparently Rockstar have waited for PSN to come back up to take the GTA servers down for maintenance.

When I tried to sign in to PSN yesterday I was getting an 80xxxxxx error for a while. I tried again later and it gave me the "your password is invalid and must be reset" screen like it did when PSN came back up after the 6-week downtime a couple of years ago. It allowed me to reset the password directly through the console even though PSN was down.

I feel bad for you guys, but I'm also mildly amused that I've had less than 24-hours downtime on PS3.

You can't reset through the PS4. :(

It finally sent me the email after I had it re-sent through the website - even that didn't work right away. That took several tries over a couple hours.

Um so is it possible for an NPC to put a bounty on you? I logged directly into a solo session, stole some NPC's car, he got angry and became a red dot, and while driving away I got a $7,000 bounty.

it just happened to you so yes. You should also have received a text that said something along the lines of "You jacked my ride / you hosed with the wrong person".

Yeah, sometimes they do that. Whenever a player puts a bounty on you/another player it'll show something like "dude just put a $7000 bounty on another dude" but when it's an NPC it'll just say that the dude got a $7000 bounty.

I got home from work, gtao and psn work. Let's do this 8)

Also, I just wanted to honestly figured out my SP 100% completion during the outage, not really play gtao, using R* servers social club. drat inconvience for my collectathon and having to resort to an ms paint of the greater los santos area and slowly marking off points on the map.

edit; so I joined GTAO, called a cab, told it get me to the helipad in vespucci beach, and I get two stars, killed, and all I did was be in passive mode. WHAT THE gently caress? I'm only human, I tipped my cab driver $153. Is that too little?!?!?!

edit2; I am using my samsung headphones because they have a mic and dual audio, so yeah, I can do things, like trace footsteps and play this game like counter-strike 1997 edition. :)

Not sports? Well, unfortunately, the Daemon is not as as nice as a real Chopper, nor is Hexer. I don't know about this new PS4 bike the Infiltrator(single player only?) or something? I heard the new Hohokum crap is something decent, but a softcore touring enthusiast bike for being slow and taking it all in, during the cruising of vinewood at 19:00pm.at full sunset.

I haven't tried the Innovation actually.
Not-sports you have the Daemon, Hexer and Innovation for choppers.
Bagger, Sovereign and Thrust for Tours.
Sanchez and Blazer for Off-Road.
Faggio for a scooter.

I like my Innovation a lot, but the correct answer is Sovereign.

The Bagger looks pretty great if you take off the fairing and swap the hard carriers for saddle bags but it's slow as balls, I keep one anyway.

I have a soft spot for the Daemon, and from memory I want to say that it's one of the most agile of the heavy bikes and a fair bit faster than the Bagger but probably won't touch the Innovation. Might also be outpaced by the Hexxer.

Hexxer and Thrust are both stupid and I hate them.

Buy a Sovereign and use mad hax to paint it black, never sell it.

If you're on PS3 (I feel like I should know who you are) you're welcome to ride my fully-upgraded Sovereign, Daemon, or Bagger.

I was in Mountain Crew on PS3 until my console died and I decided to wait for next gen instead of replacing it, pretty sure you gave me a bunch of cars back before they patched out selling and insuring vehicles other players have modded.

Innovation also seems to have a loving ejector seat attached because every minor ding or bump I would normally just ride through on my Akuma ends up with me being flung into the road face first. I will try a sovereign next

EDIT: I will not try a sovereign because I had no GTA capable console to play on in July and August. That's annoying.
