I'm getting a lot of races where custom vehicles are off  It might be a little more common with the post-Christmas wave since everybody wants to drive a supercar but nobody can afford an adder/entity/zentorno. I'm currently on the fence about picking up a zentorno; I love the handling but I only have $1.8M and I'm afraid there won't be any fun new glitches for 360

GTA races are totally broken right now because of proximity mines. Get any kind of an early lead and you just gently caress the pack of racers behind you into a hole in the ground. It's even worse on point to point races.

The pre-order bonus seems to do this weird thing where multiple accounts can use it on one ps4 for SP and it tells you it's been added to your online bank as well on either account but it doesn't apply online.

It doesn't matter when you joined, that guy joined a race on call, and ended up having everyone else get disconnected before it started. Then the game continued auto-inviting with him as a host.

Anyone want to get me up to date on popular tactics and methods to gently caress with people ? Messing around in SP I see how they increased the amount of cars that spawn in traffic, giving me ideas of making road blocks with buses/semis.

Messing around in SP I see how they increased the amount of cars that spawn in traffic, giving me ideas of making road blocks with buses/semis. I just came back after selling my PS3 early last year. To my eyes, not much has changed. I still chase people down, sticky them, and blow their shut up. I still cargobob people's cars to impossible locations. I still block people in stores with their cars. If I'm broke, i Jerry can people's rides and let them eat the insurance costs. Passive mode is weird and hosed up now. You can't kill people in passive mode (that I've found) like you used to do. Though I understand you can pick up a car in a cargobob, go passive, and people will destroy their own car trying to shoot you. That sounds delightful. In other words, it's not changed much. Just prettier and the option for more people on the server.

You can kill people in passive but you wont get credit for the kill. If you blow up a car near them then that car's blast can blow them up sympathetically. It's more difficult but it works.

BitBasher posted:You are wasting your time. When you blow up a car that way now they don't pay their insurance costs either, it's free for them. I don't know of a way to make someone pay for insurance costs on next gen unless they blow up their own car. All other circumstances either the person who blows it up pays it or there is no charge. Hey BitBasher, if you lower a cars suspension or put the splitters/diffusers on them does that alter the handling in any way? I also hear that putting offroad tires on your cars has some benefit but I haven't been able to get a clear answer on exactly what the benefit is. Also, is it possible to buy a Cargobob online and have it delivered via Pegasus, or do you need to go find one every time you want to haul stuff around?

The glitch used to purchase the Cargobob online was patched a long, long time ago in the old-gen. If you're looking for a Cargobob in freeroam, keep visiting the hospital in South Los Santos until it spawns on one of the two pads.

DanrewS posted:Hey BitBasher, if you lower a cars suspension or put the splitters/diffusers on them does that alter the handling in any way? Lowering a cars suspension does somewhat change handling but not enough that most people should notice. The game uses accurate physics sway for the car when braking, accelerating or the car leaning left or right during turns. The more a car can sway the more weight gets shifted off of the inside tires to the outside tires making it theoretically easier to lose traction or to slide. Lowering a suspension definitely does make it somewhat less bouncy, because the suspension travel is reduced, there is less travel from the top to bottom of the suspension. The thing is, I have never really seen anyone compare the two, suspension wise. Maybe later today I'll throw out a 10 laps on a racetrack with the same car twice, the only difference being the suspension and see if I can determine a difference. With the exception of the spoiler and wheels, cosmetic stuff is cosmetic stuff, and doesn't affect times. Spoilers do tangibly affect traction, and wheels I will get to below. DanrewS posted:I also hear that putting offroad tires on your cars has some benefit but I haven't been able to get a clear answer on exactly what the benefit is. Off Road wheels and tires do, unfortunately, have a tangible benefit in all races. It's either cool or insane that Rockstar actually modded in the rubber in the tire as having separate properties than the rim itself. The Rubber is very forgiving to sudden shocks and small bumps like rolling straight over a curb while the rim is appropriately solid and causes a jarring impact when you hit a curb or small bump. Different tire types have a different ratio of rubber to rim (or tire to wheel) with Off Road tires having the most rubber while High End tires have the least, with Sport and the rest in varying degrees in the middle. What this means is that demonstrably Off Road tires make the car smoother across terrain. This is easily relevant in any race where you may want to cut a corner by driving over a curb, which is pretty much all races. Off Road tires are noticeably smoother and have a much, much lower chance of having your car take a freak bounce and lose control. It's actually a pretty solid advantage if you race or even drive a lot. I personally think they should reduce traction for Off Road tires by 20%-30% when on paved roads and all other tires by the same 20%-30% when off paved roads. The situation as it is now is pretty stupid and unlike everything else in their driving model, really counter to the real world. Even a small shift like 10% to 15% would be enough that you pay a tangible penalty. DanrewS posted:Also, is it possible to buy a Cargobob online and have it delivered via Pegasus, or do you need to go find one every time you want to haul stuff around? No, you can't buy a Cargobob. You used to be able to through a bug that was patched long ago. If anyone knows of a current way to do it it would be greatly appreciated.

Bobby Deluxe posted:1: Do missions. Seriously, even with pubbies you stand to make $10-20k every 5 minutes. Edit: I like how he edits out the players' names, but not the crew name. Let me add a bit to your post. It's the little costs that seem to be forgotten by everyone that can add up quickly if you don't have a nice nest egg. I'm a bit of a numbers guy due to my job, so it it bleeds over a bit into other things:
Quicksand_Jesus posted:If I'm broke, i Jerry can people's rides and let them eat the insurance costs. This is a tricky one, you don't have to be broke to destroy someone's vehicle at no cost to you. Especially if you can push it into the water with another vehicle at say, La Puerta docs. However, if you're broke or don't have enough to cover it, the player whose car is destroyed is no longer on the hook for the remainder of the cost. Had someone pay only $19 dollars toward the insurance for my Cheetah, and the Mors screen said "No Charge". That said, here's a terrible video of me taking 15 minutes (squeezed down to 2:54) to destroy a Zentorno and an Adder that 1/3 of the way through a pubbie just dropped off for me. It includes the near obsessive lengths I will go through when things don't go to plan, like when the car lands on the docs and I have to get a boat to finish the job. geeves fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jan 4, 2015 |

geeves posted:Edit: I like how he edits out the players' names, but not the crew name. Here's something I didn't see: Don't use the option to refill all of your ammo in the pre-mission lobby. It sometimes overcharges you and you really don't need 9,999 rounds for your sniper rifle. Just top off your weapon-of-choice and explosives when you go to refill your armor reserves. E: n/m, I did see that you said not to buy ammo from the mission screen. But yeah, seconding all of that poo poo you said. Also, if you have to blow something up, hand grenades will usually do the job about as well as blooper rounds, rockets, or stickies and they cost a lot less. E2: I see a lot of videos from you guys now that everyone's on PS4 but nobody is ever in 1st-person. This makes me sad. Is there an option for 1st-person only lobbies? I feel like the only *real* way to play this game on current-gen would be 1st-person free-aim. titties fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Jan 4, 2015 |

I was slowing down along the long curve trying to keep you in front of me instead I got massive understeer, nearly pitted you, hit the embankment and ended up sideswiping you. My turns weren't great - I never should have been able to catch you. Then I made a decent hairpin in the last turn trying to race the course not the check point. And here's the sports race when I took you out. In my defense with all the lagging, I was just trying to hold my line as I no longer new what was real  I remember thinking I was going to lose this race because I had a 2-3 second lead 1/2 way through the last lap and you can hear my engine slowing down only to pick up when you and the others passed me.

Hockles posted:Whaaaat? I thought gang cars were the most profitable sell. The real money is in the chrome and gold custom Dubsters that are found near Madrazo's house. They spawn every morning at the same turn from about 10:00 a.m. until about 1:00 from my experience. The trick is that you need one in order to get it to spawn regularly, so if you pick one up, put a tracker on it and insure it. Then, head up there, jack someone for theirs and take it to LSC where it will sell for a little over $23k. If you move fast enough and have room in your garage, you can nab two per game day. That can net you about $23k every 48 minutes.

My turns weren't great - I never should have been able to catch you. Then I made a decent hairpin in the last turn trying to race the course not the check point. That last corner where you lost traction was because of the exact thing I talk about a lot. You were on the edge of your traction threshold, you let off the gas and so your cars weight shifted off the rear tires reducing their traction even further and pushing them past the threshold there they lost traction entirely and the car loses it's poo poo. At least that's what it looked like in the replay. geeves posted:And here's the sports race when I took you out. In my defense with all the lagging, I was just trying to hold my line as I no longer new what was real Haha, yeah, that was some lag there from your point of view. I wasn't seeing anything like that. When you took me out that was entirely my fault. I should have slowed down a bit and taken the inside. I even said that to my friend in the room right when it happened, immediately before you hit me. Catch up really makes it so it's about playing the other drivers less than the track. I'm never pissed when someone knocks me out in that mode, because really that's what that mode is about. I mean hell, I was being a dick in those races, I was pitting the leader by request after calling it out Babe Ruth style in advance. You don't get much more assholish than that. EDIT: I just ran 11 laps each with the highest and lowest suspension in a fully modded Ruiner on Downtown underground. The best lap times were off by 0.09 seconds of each other. I couldn't really see a difference in practical performance. BitBasher fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jan 4, 2015 |
