Counting the Pacific Standard Job initially for Wraith I'd say a good half day if we don't mess up a lot. But we can always continue at a point next week if we can't get them all done.

Also, how do you buy fireworks to set up a fireworks display? I've got the option to set one up in my Quick Menu under inventory, do you have to buy the fireworks at a convenience store or what?

You buy Fireworks at ammunation from the wall although they're not appearing for me whenever I go in to buy sutff.

How about some goon poo poo in the maze next to the museum?
Maybe a game of hide and seek, where the seeker has a melee weapon and needs to try to kill everyone. Last one alive is "it" during the next round.

We did it a couple of weeks ago. It took about 8.5 hours and I felt like it had gone relatively smoothly. We did take several breaks and were playing it in forced 1st-person, which probably padded out the time somewhat.

I wish I knew what was causing this.
Usually, as soon as I get into freeroam and start driving, the game quits responding to my movement commands for several seconds. I might try to turn right, but it'll keep going forward, and then a few seconds later my car will suddenly turn right. I try turning left so I don't drive into a wall, and it ignores my keypress for another few seconds.
It sometimes occurs later on in freeroam, and also has a chance of happening during jobs/missions.
And just now, I tried calling Pegasus to call in a submarine, and the menu decided I was still scrolling down after I released my down arrow key, so it's not restricted to vehicles.
I didn't have this issue when I was still on my AMD 6850.
I'm thinking either my game's sending tons of data to memory, and my CPU can't keep up and my keypresses get delayed, or something about my 360 gamepad is confusing the game.

Discovered that you can pick up crates in passive mode, at the cost of being a lovely garbage person. Also, some of those fancy gun decorations are really pretty, especially the assault rifle. If only it didn't functionally suck rear end :(

Do you lose that special crate minigun when you die? I was racing a guy to one and he got it and pulled out the minigun but I went rage and immediately destroyed him, his car, and everything within a 20 for radius and I felt kinda bad.

You lose it when you change sessions
(edit: same with cheated weapons. My theory: the game only saves it to your profile when you buy the gun (or its upgrades) at ammunation, and the game requests your weapon loadout from the profile server whenever you join a new session. This doesn't explain picking up golf clubs, though)

Some pubbie was asking for money, so I said "money on top of chilliad". He took me seriously and went there, then followed me around for a few minutes. But I was underwater in a submarine.

Until I got my submarine stuck :(


That's not how you spell my name, but I'll accept it


Turns out you can use kurumas in the last part of Series A. And if someone parks their car below the dock, you can pull out a bit to get a better angle. Completely unnecessary, because this fight is a piece of cake even on hard.

I did the one in LS to the far northwest off of Morningwood. I already had the launcher from last time but was depleted. Just clicked the launcher and it had the ammo refill prompt. Not sure how much it was.

There's a few pegasus ground vehicle spawns around the map. They won't spawn across the street from you like your personal vehicles will. It's worth learning the common spots so you can anticipate where you might spawn an insurgent pickup or technical so a pubbie doesn't steal it. Also, join us in mumble already, MJF

And to answer a potential followup question: No, you can't customize pegasus vehicles.

Would of any the xbone crew like to do the all in order/crew loyalty challenge on Sunday? While we're at it we could also go for the $10 million challenge for completing them all without dying but I'm not really bothered about that one.

I was thinking of starting at around 4pm BST (8am PDT or 11am EDT) or maybe a couple of hours later depending on the times that everyone can make.

I'm up for it. My internet will be installed in my new apartment by then.

There is a "bought" flag. My account was hacked and the hacker leveled to 140 and got all the guns. I had my level reverted to 20, but I've had all the guns forever even if my level was under the requirements. Oddly enough, I've had the musket permanently but he didn't get the fireworks launcher. I could also buy any car's appearance mods, but I can't paint then gold yet.

I have to say, even if they ever stopped the rampant cheating, GTA 5 has so many absolutely baffling decisions that are becoming apparent, I have to wonder what Rockstar was thinking.

- Passive mode is bullshit. Flat out bullshit. Join a server alone if you want to not be bothered, for fucks sake. The fact you can enable this when you have a bounty, or want to camp a major overworld PVP event (capturing cars, crates, etc) is ridiculous. It's like they put God Mode in as a stock option.

- The armored cars are also bullshit, mostly due to insurance. Unlike the other vehicles there is absolutely no way to defend yourself against these without spending 20-30k in ridiculous insurance. I honestly and truly believe if they wanted to fix them, they should make all armored vehicles incompatible with insurance. The fact they are insanely fast, ruin every co-op mission almost being impossible to kill so you can just park spraying AP, and tough to bring down wouldn't be a big deal if losing it also meant the thing was dead and you'd have to buy a whole new one. I just want the other cars to matter aside from these OP pieces of poo poo.

- The Editor has hilarious restrictions, including a memory limit centered around the Xbox 360 that are bugged out to boot (if you try to edit a published map, good luck, it always thinks the memory is over), you can't make any pure co-op missions, you can yank a minigun out of Rockstar's own survival at level 1, but you can't spawn Miniguns in a custom map unless everyone is like 100+.. I won't even go into the horrendous AI. But seriously with just a little work it might actually be useful. The whole thing is crippled; and I made some cool GTA missions but good luck getting a GTA going without an army of friends. It seems the only thing people join are those loving retarded $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ RP RP RP maps.

- And a final pet peeve, why the flying gently caress is "Store" not on the quick GPS options?
