I roll WEZL every now again, going straight passive mode and just rolling the van, flipping my phone out and trying to annoy whom ever I am following, reporting news on. Sometime I try to use the special medical maveric to report, but flying can get too boring, or I will run off and try and get a crate, destroy a smuggling plane, or something more lucrative with my time.

The setup mission involving getting a cop car just to get into the station is a chore though. I was doing it last night and the cops just would not piss off while we were trying to get away with the car.

That mission is bugged. Whoever is in the Casco, once the cops are on you, they will never go away unless someone gets out of the car.

That's not always true. We have done it several times and lost the cops fine without getting out.

Auhg, "Host a capture- GTA" What a lovely daily. It is only because of the daily's that half these modes are even used anymore.

At least escape a 2 star wanted level and hold up a store are easy.

I dread when I see one that means I have to participate in a mission like that. I've had luck when I need to participate in a parachute jump, but it is a waste of time to try anything else.

After the PS4 update today, the PlayStation Now icon is suddenly very prominent. Does anyone subscribe to it? Is it worth the money? $20/month seems steep - $44/3 months is marginally better.

Because the invites are fundamentally broken.

In the phone, they do not show if the invite is from a crew member. (I have notifications turned off because gently caress getting 50+ invites to heists and seeing them constantly scroll on the left side)
The name of the player who invited you isn't always displayed. The Heist Name also isn't always displayed, it's just "Heist Setup". This leads to confusion.
The name of the player who invited you isn't always correct. Sometimes if you click on a Heist Setup it will say it's from "Player A" but really it's from "Player B". Or if you click on an invite from "Player A" all invites now display they are from "Player A".
Rockstar needs some settings to weed out the signal to noise ratio. One is getting the names correct. Two is displaying crew tags. Three would be menu settings to receive invites for heists, missions, races from Friends, Crew Members, Gen Pop.
I shouldn't receive 20 invites from Gen Pop when I'm in an invite or a solo session. If it is crew members inviting me, I'm sorry. It doesn't inform me that you're a crew member (see above).

It's in the OP, but bears repeating. If you haven't already, send Friend Requests to Goons. Then when you see them join a party, join in. You'll also have a better chance of getting in a session with people you know more often and that usually leads to heists or just fun in free roam.

Join a crew, says Rockstar! It'll make the game more fun, says Rockstar!

*gives us no way to differentiate between friends and crew and pubbie invites in-game"

This is such an integral part of the way they structure online that I cannot believe a year and a half in and it still doesn't work. Even a crew tag on an invite would be fine.

HiriseSoftware: Dec 3, 2004; Two tips for the wise:
1. Buy an AK-97 assault rifle.
2. If there's someone hanging around your neighborhood you don't know, shoot him.

Sometimes I have seen the LLJK tag on a heist invite, but that's very rare. They should at least tell you if it's for the beginning of the heist or the final heist - and don't tell me the invite is for "Prison Break - Heist" and then send me to a cutscene where I've got "unfinished business".

I'm on PS3, and those videos posted above are confusing to me - why are there translucent players?

PS4. That is odd, I swear it was only 2-3K when I was first doing them, making them feel rather pointless.

That is annoying. "Let me show you my trick race that only I know how to do."

My quick races and join races are broken anyway. I was "joining" a quick race lobby from my phone for 60+ minutes the other day.

When I try to join from the pause / online jobs menu, I teleport into the walls of the light house and have to leave the session to get out of there.

Speaking of dumb missions, what's the deal with 1,000,000RP EASY DM matches and why are so many players in them? All similarly titled missions involve the weirdest, random level design and some are jump puzzles and some have all the level weapons in one big pile that at least one guy has a monopoly on (since the forced weapon is a jerry can)

If you're the first guy to grab the weapons, you're the one who gets an assload of RP and cash because you can just mow down other people with impunity.

Sorry fresh prince I guess Rockstar decided I was having too much fun and booted me. As an aside, I really couldn't hear you, but then again I wasn't wearing my headphones and usually can hear you.

The ones I have all seen simply have everyone gated in while one other player is outside the game with an assload of weapons.

Im surprised that people are still falling for that poo poo. Although once I think I got enough players with me to kick the guy who was using the weapons.

Do you mean when you start it and it comes up with the calibration screen? Every time this happens to me I just press the PS button, close the game, and restart it, and it works fine. Someone said it has something to do with a timeout to the Rockstar servers or something but I don't know if anyone knows why it does this.

I did it the other day and got dinged for the replacement fee, but supposedly if you make some distance between yourself and the car before it blows then you won't get fined.
