So is this a decent enough guide for leveling up skills for online?

Most of it I'll just level normally, but I might powerlevel Lung Capacity and Stealth just because they'll never get leveled otherwise.

Holy poo poo, health actually increases?

I think the perk of maxed stealth making you invisible to other players on the minimap in deathmatches would be a bit more unbalanced than health increases.

Health increases with RP levels, once you hit level 100 your health is maxed out permanently.

Yeah, but it should be a little longer than a few days. Your stats are supposed to decline if you don' t play but I've gone more than a month without playing before and didn't lose anything from my maxed stats.

I hadn't logged in for nearly a year until I imported my character to PC and all my stats remained maxed out, so I'm going to say they don't degrade at all.

Everything in that list is pre-heists update so it may need revisions. Vehicles for example there was at least one change I thought about making based on posts in the thread, but :effort: and of course the Armored Kuruma is the current hot poo poo car so it should be in the list somewhere. If someone wants to revise the vehicle list go for it.

Looking elsewhere online, I'm getting conflicting reports on it. Some say stats decrease by one whole bar after two weeks of not playing, others haven't played for months and their stats remain. Weird.

Just a quick reminder, Rockstar Social has incredibly weak security.

I originally set up my account with a very weak password because it was awful typing anything in with an Xbox 360 controller, and there wasn't much to lose because I mean, I had a physical disc and all. I've since bought the PC version, but neglected to update my password. Some Russian guy probably brute forced his way into my account and started changing all the info, including the username, email and password. There are no security questions or anything involved when changing email and/or password, either. I have emailed Rockstar Support about it, but I've got no response so far and the ticket number I was issued did not go to anywhere. Additionally, its still tied to the account, which I'm still logged in to on the website, but the password has been changed so I can't actually log in to play.

A buddy of mine told me that the guy who stole my account came online, although it may have been just me poking around on the account, so I tried to just hammer in random passwords to get the account locked. Well, Rockstar doesn't have account lock outs for too many attempted log in attempts. So again, pick a good password if you have the PC version.

This is the email I got:

I'd have sworn that we played together more recently than a year ago. Regardless, it's probably broken like everything else. I've never lost stats on my main but my level 70+ alt was completely wiped after a couple of months of not using him.

I think at absolute most, you might lose progress towards the next bar if you aren't already maxed. Also the character transfer/switch usually fucks up the display but when you're actually playing the stats are correct.

Rule of thumb from consoles: IGN (or any 3-letter crew tag - they are "special crews" with no limits on members), WEED, YOLO, SWAG, KILL, (you get the pattern) are usually just shitheads. SNOO, GTAA, GTAX are reddit crews and if you've ever heard them on mics they are talking memes or talking about memes, it's unclear which.

How long does a full heist generally go? Part if my trepidation in joining goon heists is I'm not sure how long of a commitment I'm in for.

The second reason is I'm a lowbie and it seems a stiff breeze is all it takes to remove half my health bar.

~30 minutes for Fleeca to ~3 hours for Pacific Standard. All depends on how well things go.

You also can't take pictures while you're flipping upside down in a car. I tried many times last night while playing with some friends, but the game was having none of it :(

Has anyone figured out a way to make the camera not auto-center when driving? That poo poo is the bane of my existence. I know there's a slider for it in options, but I'm not entirely sure what the gently caress it does. Sets the auto-center angle maybe?

Just continue to do missions. Yes, they open at 12 so R* could cash in on lots of new players, but IMHO you probably haven't done enough in game until you're 20-30. By then you've accumulated weapons and more health (and stats) and probably have done enough missions to see how things work to hopefully know better that patience is key for a lot of things.

During the Prison Break finale last night, I was messaging a level 9 in what to do (for god knows what reason he was assigned to fly the plane) and I got a message from him. "I don't know what I'm doing" right as he crashed the plane into the hangar at Sandy Shores.

When gta5stats was up and running they had a last active date. This date isn't on their profile publicly, but I think it's in their API results. I have all the info maybe I could write a script to scour all the names and at least give you a text dump of username & activity date. Can't promise it now, maybe by this weekend.

orcane posted:

I've been trying to get LLJK members invited to heists but it looks like the game isn't even trying, the "your crew" option where you can invite specific members lists maybe 5-10 people at any time, and the only way to get anyone at all to join is by doing auto-invite with open matchmaking which usually gets me a lot of level <12 people who are not only unfamiliar with the heists and the game in general, they lack everything that helps you survive GTA aimbot NPCs better (ie. reserve body armor, snacks, skills to actually hit things you're shooting and sprint longer than five seconds), so they're the first to die. Forget hard mode, these guys usually die a 2nd time before you're halfway through a heist or setup. That's on top of hilarious failures like people committing suicide by parachute, suicide by jumping off buildings or suicide by crashing aircraft.

I managed to beat the prison break heist once and I wasn't even hosting so I'm still stuck there, which is getting really annoying. On the other hand I'm pretty good at flying that damned plane now...

Yeah, it's so weird like that. The game frowns on random chaos, it'll shove you in open worlds with crew and friends when possible. But actually doing any kind of mission or job with friends and crews? A nightmare. Even when you finish something, half the time you wind up getting split up and tossed god knows where. The fact that you can't really control Job Invites doesn't help either. You think they'd have let you limit it to like, friends only or crew only so you don't have to deal with the constant beeping job spam.

The weirdest thing is when we're doing a private mission without a full team and once the mission is over, a random pubbie is the host.
