Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
I can never seem to get a lobby full, is there some trick to it? I'll get like 2-3 people when the gamemode can have like... 16 max...

The matching algorithm tries to minimize latency. This can mean that you often end up only having a few other people online at the same exact moment with similar acceptable latency to you.

Does anyone want to do the heists starting with the Prison Break? We are using Vent for it. Preferably someone who hasn't done them before.

I'm interested if you haven't started yet. social club: usersa

If it's too late, well I'm open to doing heists with anyone else here. It's too painful to do them the "intended" way, it's impossible to get a group together, and to keep that group together all the way through.

Is the jerry can/exhaust flames method still the best/only way to destroy someone else's car without paying their insurance?

Turns out you can drive your own car into a gas station pump and not pay insurance as I accidentally learned today, so forcing someone else's car into one will probably work

You've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun.

When you do that they do not pay their insurance either so it is pretty pointless.

Something weird is going on with me and LLJK...
I ask to be invited,'got the invite, accepted the invite... But the crew doesn't show up on rsc or on 360... Any ideas?

Also rsc shows me at 0% offline progress, when I am really at 100?

Edit: I think I figured it out, the email associated with my 360 account and my rsc account are different

Double edit: nope just had to turn on the crew in game. Yay!

You get incremental discounts of 1% for every few Commendations other players give you (might even be a 1% for each one). On my character I've played since 2013, I've got 6% discount built up.

So you should always mash commendation on other players and encourage other players to do the same for you, everyone wins.

I'm up to 8% from that day GTAO was a thing, on ps3. I don't feel a full 10% is possible, though i have had no commendations since the WEAZEL days.

A goon smashed into my car and it fell sideways into an alley. The person was nice enough to come back and right my car back up after a series of grateful honks. Another goon came by and destroyed my vehicle. Must have been because I was driving in circles on the map.

Protip for whoever's flying the plane during prison heist: make sure the prisoner isn't directly underneath the stairs before you lower them. This public service announcement brought to you by wrathcough and usersa.

Also I got booted back to single player right after the finale. I still got paid, but it meant I couldn't see the celebration cutscene afterwards, which is my favorite part of the heist. I just want to hang out and knock back a few imaginary beers with my fellow criminals :(

Forced first person in armored cars is absolutely hilarious because you cannot see poo poo. Getting any of the shots that you can do in third would require you to have eyes in the back of your head.

Also flare guns are the best and near essential for having fun versus cops. Killing untold thousands with fire is great.

Yeah I had to let one know that goon on goon Violence wasn't cool. I mean a goon shows up in a massive dump truck to help God bless his soul and the goon kills him on sight and destroys his good work.

There even an info scree that shows up, but it's really rare to see.

I did all the Fleeca stuff entirely with pubbies and I can see why people hate it so much. On the scope out mission the pubby sprinted to the car and proceeded to floor it to the bank, smashing into everything on the way like they were in a hurry.

Got a really cool Brazilian guy for the actual heist though who would actually communicate and not try to speed run the whole thing. It really is a crap shoot.

And holy poo poo you'd think matchmaking for this game would work on at least 1 of the 5 systems its out on.

It no joke took me 4 hours last night to get through the finale of Prison Break with some pubbies. I thought about leaving so many times, but I was determined to push forward so I can get my All In Order bonus. Once the matchmaking and load times improve a bit, I definitely want to spend a weekend and try to get Criminal Mastermind/Loyalty with you lovely goons.

So my vehicles got deleted in the transfer even though I made sure to login to GTAO on my PS3 first.

I thought, no biggy I'll just get screenshots of them on my PS3 and they'll be restored. Nope, gone there too.

At least my helmet combo didn't get reset (old snap).




e: vvv Did it just now, I was trying to get the screenshots for the ticket.

Did you file a ticket with R* if they don't restore the vehicles, you should be given money to replace at least some of them.
