BUILD MORE CITY WALLS!

Powershift posted:

it still doesn't seem as quick, and is obviously nowhere near as durable as the armored karuma. My hobby when i'm just dicking around is banging up random people's pimped rides as much as humanly possible by chasing them around and running them into stuff. it seems only supercars are able to get any distance from a karuma.

In my experience the kuruma has better acceleration and, of course, durability. Comparatively, the sultan has much better handling and a little better top speed. I usually find myself passing kurumas in my sultan driving to missions, but if I hit anything they catch up pretty quick. I like bringing a car that isn't an armored kuruma to mix things up a bit, but its hard to ignore the convenience of just being able to shoot up everything without a care in the world. If I want to get poo poo done without thinking I'll take the kuruma, but if I want to have fun, I'll take something else.

Any idea if a Technical or mounted gun Insurgent can be choplifted by a Cargobob? Is it stable enough to, say, have someone man the gun while being swung around? Just curious.


I know you can pick the insurgent up, but it's so heavy that it's not really practical.

Basically step on the gas the moment the race is go, accelerates you more than normal.

My Sultan is my baby.

Also, no one seems to want to impromptu race OR do a whole rally, which are both my daily objectives, and it's annoying.

I spent 45 minutes looking for a Sultan yesterday. I knew how to find one at the jail parking lot, but couldn't get one to spawn. Finally found one, got it kitted up, I'm happy. I joined a session with a buddy.. and there's one sitting right in front of me at spawn.

Oh i earned it, and i love it. some dude said 320hp was too much for a street car and i called him a clown.

Heist difficulty definitely scales with host level. started a heist with a level 26 host, and i was just mowing down the swat dudes like they were puppies.

pretty sure you can grind solo, but why. racing can sometimes be fun and even if you lose you can get turbo starts.


turbo starts are just for paint colors. performance mods come from race wins. some paint colors come from stunt jumps.

It's been hosed up for a while, I think it's transposing the stealth stat.

So do most goons use CTS and not ingame chat? I just love joining a freemode with 6 goons on it, none of whom reply to anything.

I did find a goon and a non goon who were on some sort of date. I followed them to a ferris wheel then got in their car, they drove up the highway sight seeing. Eventually I got bored shot some cops, and ended up holed up on the train.

Side note about the train, it looks like if you're hiding on it, and it reaches one of it's programmed stops, it won't go again, so that's annoying.

Also you need to win a rally race, an air race, and a sea race to unlock 3 of the paint colors

Tried to do prison break with Powershift, but this pilot was not only completely clueless, he also didn't seem to understand any English at all. Powershift google-translated some instructions into Portuguese because the guy had BR in his name, but after retrying a million times because of bugs ("alerting" the cops while driving into the prison? what?) and the pilot dying, we first got hit with the "wanted level sticks even if you're out of LoS of cops" bug, then retried again only for the moron of a pilot to practice low altitude flying - which makes losing the wanted level impossible - before crashing into the ground.

I am indeed cursed :argh:

Heists are the classic GTA 3D-era experience in the HD universe. If you fail you do the whole thing from scratch because gently caress checkpoints and who doesn't like spending 90% of the time driving to objectives. Then if you DO get the mission going bugs prevent you from completing it, please go back to start.

I'm great at Pilot, if you'd allow me to join you. I'mn languishing here, I did all the heists but now I want to do them again and I have no krew.

So I'm rank 30ish now and I just learned that "hours" were a thing was I can't get a clear idea was I supposed to have those during character creation? I looked into this and despite winning like 20 races and the such my driving skill is like 10% into the first bar still while everything else is maxed so I am thinking that might be why.

Holy poo poo, "Rocket's vs Insurgents" might be the best drat game mode to happen to this game, even if it's title bugs me.
Profitable in both RP and cash whether you win or lose, it's loving piles of fun as well.

Expecting it to vanish from jobs lists any time now.

Good news! There's another similar mode called "BIG GUNS VS INSARGENTS" where the sky team has miniguns, grenade launchers and rpgs. Takes place above an overpass, I'm bookmarking the poo poo out of it.

"ROCKET's vs INSURGENTS"

Easily 20k for a match (set to 1st to 4 rounds) and a good bit of RP. Also, they're hella fun. Also, whoever made these are more talented fun-crafters than they are writers, the titles hurt to read.
