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:

Try changing how you have it hooked up to your internet connection, and maybe even bring it over someone else's house.

It's probably a problem with your internet connectivity somehow.

I had problems like that for the first 6 months following the launch, the only thing that worked was replacing the router with something made in this decade.


Also, a lot of PS3 players have been unable to invite or join people from their friends list. The options show up as "disabled" and you get a message saying that you have to complete the tutorial.

There's a workaround; the crew menus seem to work and you can invite someone from another crew by selecting online > crews > friend's crews > (their crew) > view members > join. It sucks though

http://www.reddit.com/r/gtaglitches/comments/2qvyo4/working_race_bet_money_glitch/

since everyone bets so much on themselves, you get good odds and a decent payout only betting a few grand on yourself. You don't get as much money as you would actually doing the glitch I don't think, but you can't put a price on seeing a streak of "-$10000" on the results screen coupled with pubbie rage.

Any tips on...how to start on GTA Online? I'm on Xbox One. I literally just don't know what to do when I get dropped in a random map. People just randomly go around shooting you and nobody does any missions. I'll try to get in on a mission and it takes 20 minutes sometimes and then it'll only "matchmake" me with only a few people.

Do I need to be a part of some goon gangs or what? I wanna do cool poo poo :(

Join the Goon Crew although the Xbox One population is a little sparse. You can join a job via the quick job option on your phone, it's the option to the left of the center as that will always put you in a job with at least one other person.

Is this your first time playing GTA Online? If so, playing almost any mission on hard difficulty will net you some decent cash and RP.

A good way to start actually is flight school, great RP and cash for low level, enough for a special carbine which is all you need to get going.

Basically... anything! The world is your oyster - start generating cash by stealing and selling cars every 45 minutes at LSC, do the flight school for cash/rp and every time you get a text to join a hosted Mission you might as well join it even if you can't contribute much you'll get on average $15K per mission - about 2 hours of work and you'll have $100-150k which is way more than enough to get you started.

Make sure you join missions that are texted to you from the contacts. It's how you get their other missions once they unlock for your rank.

Steal gang cars, They're usually modded and you can get ~10k for them.

Rob convenience stores too. There's an achievement for robbing all 20 and most you get is ~$1500 to $2000 each time.

I don't know when they unlock, but if you get a text from Lester to Kill Target, that's a quick ~$2600 (I randomly got $7900 for one last night).

Once you get stickies, armored cars are easy... when they spawn.

I usually only get 1000-1300 for robbing stores. I don't know if that is because I hit so many within the same time, or they just payout less and less at the same location.

As for lester's assassin missions I typically can get from 4.5-8k pretty easy. Last night I only got 2.6k and that felt really low, though it could be based on how many people accept that mission or how many people are in the lobby(?)


Also something was odd lastnight, I managed to constantly have a armored truck appear right after I finished stealing a vehicle for simeon, and like clock work I would get one after the other while I was in a solo session, waiting off a bounty. I've never had such good luck. Every 15 minutes I had deposited about 20k, over the course of the 45~ minutes for the bounty to wear off.

fake edit; I get like 9-13k from armored trucks, but the three stars is kind of a lot of heat for them. If it is at a decent location where I can get out and flop on a mask to lose the third star, it is really good money, for it.

Really? 6-12k for basically no effort is something I can't complain about. Also now the cash bags drop instantly instead of lagging for a few seconds like they did on last gen. I have never had a single armored truck on PS4 not drop cash.

Getting away should be trivial if you can drive. 2 minutes, tops.

Lyer posted:

What? I have never ever gotten less than the mid 4k range and that's very rare, maybe 1 out of 20. Are you putting the sticky in the middle of the doors so both of them are blowing open? being sure to pick up all the bags? Don't blow the doors where NPC cars can hit the bags and scatter them? Each bag has it's own part of the cash reward.

Sticky on the middle, both doors fly open, several bags drop out. Truck stops and then drives off like nothing happened.

So it's double RP and XP to do things that aren't fun or worth the time to do even at double RP or XP.

Their entire system of death matches kind of sucks. Unless I can choose a filter for "Only R* Created" I'll likely never do another death match on purpose of I can help it.

I'm a simple man. I like pretty, dark-haired women and breakfast food.
I had this back when it came out on PS3 but got tired of the online fast after all the exploited tanks and poo poo lobbies. Also I hated the "punishment" system for griefing people getting you put in "bad" lobbies.

Is it a lot better now that they've had time to develop missions and crap? Do they still do that bullshit with punishing you for blowing up people?

Basically I'm asking if it's worth getting into on PS4 now that I have one.

EDIT: Is R* still actively ruining fun things to do? Like can you still cargobob people's poo poo...I noticed a lot of stuff struck through in the OP and wasn't sure if it was a joke.
