You can be my wingman anytime, Val.

In fact, if you can comprehend this through your lovely corn rows and the drastic pressure they're putting on your brain, you and Gary need to come finish out Trevor's heist with us tonight and as a reward for when I take the full cut of the final, you can join us in the murder wagon for some pubbie death! Doesn't that sound delightful!?!

Doesn't it!?

I should be on--Along with Jay--around 8:30cst tonight is you's guys are down.

I'm hoping some enterprising soul will put out a heist group finding tool like the destiny raid websites.

I was tempted to do this. But then I realized it would require thought and work. So I decided against it for the time being.


Edit: There is an OP with a big list of players so people just need to be a little proactive and add some goons as friends and not rely on crew members at the moment (then join our party chats, a lot happens there, except gary since he NATs out all the time - and he's our best pilot.) Through this you'll get to know other goons rather easily. I realize the form in the OP is flawed and missing a vital question: aside from timezone, what time is a player commonly online. Just because someone's Eastern doesn't mean they aren't playing at 1 or 2am that aligns with the west coast crowd.

With 450+ crew members and no indicator on the phone mission / heist invite that they are a crew member does suck. :/

Also question: how big are Destiny raids? I would see it being very useful for a bunch of players, but heists are only 4 and can fill up quickly.

Im bitter about the only way to advance heists is for you to be the leader. It pretty much leads to the situation where there are tons of people who want to start heists, but no one wants to participate in them.

I'm kind of surprised at the number of people complaining at the lack of finding people to heist with.

Since this dropped, I've had no shortage of opportunities to both play other people's heists as well as host my own with plenty of people ready to jump in if there's room. And I'm a "half-wit man child" who makes lovely races and pisses off the un-fun crew members like crazy.

Point is.. there should be plenty of options to find goons who'll play. I've worked days and nights and never had a problem in finding some classy goons to run with and cause death with.

Now.. whether they like fun or serious business is another question entirely..

I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.
I've managed to play about five different missions from three different heists so far, briefly ran into Freshprince420, got dropped a few times, now I'm waiting in a lobby with one other guy, and have been for at least ten minutes now.

How does progress for Heists actually work, anyway?

You have to be the leader for the heist to actually count for you. But I think you get unlocks for simply completing the heists.

This is accurate. If you want to advance your own storyline of heists you have to host. To unlock anything like vehicles, you merely have to be a participant in the relevant heist missions.

I haven't had too much issue filling up heists but mostly because I join other goons instead of hosting.

If you do the finale for each heist then you get the option of replay any of them. I can relaunch all of them but I've not been the leader of all of them.

Once you've been through them all in any capacity, it counts as being done with all of them and you can re-host any heist you want. You only have to host to get rid of Lester's phone call(s) about the next heist, and even then you only have to host the final one.

Is there any real point in hosting the Heists other than "filling out the quest line" so Lester stops calling you about it? You seem to unlock vehicles and whatnot even if you're not the host so I'm not really clear on value being the host has

Destiny raids are only 6, the advantage is finding people who A) want to do the content and B) Aren't braindead.

That and bypassing destiny's complete lack of endgame matchmaking at the time.

As host you select the percentages for the final payout. You don't get any money for doing the set-up missions as host, so unless you're sitting on millions and want to divide 25/25/25/25, it gives you a chance to finally make some money back for your invested time (and to recoup your initial setup payment).

I agree, the set-up cost is kind of pointless since you can keep replaying the final heist until you pass.

Which isn't guaranteed, if last night is any indication :v:

Being brain dead is optional in Destiny, at least for the first raid. I had the expansion pass but sold it before trying the second raid. GTA requires more coordination.

Can you post a link to this? I'll at least check it out if I can. I assume it's a bit more in depth than "I want to host" or "I don't mind being a pleb" and actually sets a date / time for these things to happen?

Because
a) as you can see from the thread, you'll have no shortage of people to join.
b) well, most of us aren't, but it doesn't stop braindead poo poo from happening.
