Been trying to do heists with the one RL friend (also a goon) who owns the game for PC, and we're getting totally gimped by the four player mandatory thing. Pubbies'll join in, but then immediately leave after the mission loads most of the time. As you can imagine, it's an endless source of wasted time.

Anyway, if any of y'all wanna help next time we decide to lock and load, I'm PyrusMalus1 in game.

This actually looks kinda cool. And really, these game modes are essentially what we do in freemode for fun anyway.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. In our annual thread-wide argument about the freeroam shooting gallery I always mention that if someone was going to kill me a bunch then I would really rather there be a point to it. Competitive free roam events seem cool and good.

I'm curious if these events will be frequent enough that we'll actually see them pop up a few times an evening or if they're going to be rare like the non-event supply crates.

For King of the Castle, I see goons forming an alliance with each other, then during the last 5 seconds, someone pulling out their minigun and slaughtering the other goons so they can claim the victory with the massive 200RP that goes with it.

also I'm not sure how to feel about the new game modes that rockstar are introducing but I'm very disappointed they aren't adding more contact missions :smith:

edit: I'm also at 24/28 days of daily objectives then I can stop doing them forever :argh:

double edit: lawl at rockstar ceasing updates for previous-gen versions after 2 years. I wonder how long they'll continue GTA: Online servers for PS3/360? Fall 2016? Spring 2017?

It looks like I finally pressed the 'buy all ammo' button, in a manner of speaking. A hacker in a random contact job gave me all the guns and full ammo. The extra guns disappeared when I joined a new session, but I definitely kept the ammo. No way I had all this stuff before.

A Reversal of Fortune, Perhaps?
To complain about something else: What's up with the lack of any text box or filters for GTA online playlists? Seriously the ONLY way I can search playlists is 'any publisher' and sorting by date or plays. It's like they want to make it impossible for me to search by name or any way that is actually useful. I wanted to make a playlist of wall races and sky races and other cool poo poo but R* is totally cockblocking me. Seriously, it's like they purposely deactivated useful features. If I try to sort by name, suddenly all the results disappear.

e: this is on the website too so there's really no excuse

Have the cash spawners been culled? Cause every hacker I see now seems focused on making everyone on the server constantly explode.

I haven't even run across the 'Nuke everyone on the server' brand of hackers in probably three weeks. It's super strange to be loving around in GTA and not have to find a new session.

Here's a short clip that happened earlier in the week. This was 100% a spontaneous thing that the 8 or 9 of us in the conga line decided to do and I didn't know any of these people save for my buddy in the Titan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kZ9KF6whEc

We flew around the city, did some knife flights in between skyscrapers, then flew to the Blaine airstrip, turned around, took off again, and then did the loop once more with even more Luxors before a dude in a Hydra decided to ruin the fun but his punk-rear end got Heavy Sniped out of his cockpit. :smug:

I'm guessing it's not likely that me (Versocrity), Thrax, User and C0updeville will be able to get together at the same time again to finish 'all in order' and 'loyalty'? Getting the same 4 people back together by chance is nearly impossible, I've had this experience with arranged teams in starcraft 2. Teams of 3 occasionally get back together, but add in a 4th and suddenly the chances drop to about 0%. Won't happen unless we pick a time. I've been holding off on doing heists for a few days so it would be good to know either way.

Me and the dream team knocked it out in 2 nights.

We could have gotten mastermind too if it wasn't for killinton's connection issues, and that one idiot falling off the roof of the boat.

I will likely be available this week, though maybe not until Wednesday afternoon/night. My car might be dying and it's a busy week at school. Thursday afternoon/evening/night should be open for me at the very least. I'd like to get those challenges done too, it was great running heists with competent people.

You can't mod a station 100%, but you can set it to Music Only so you don't get the radio cues and then upload mp3s of the commercials you want. Those will cycle randomly as normal.

I'd be down to schedule a couple nights in a row to knock this out if you're looking to do it.

It took us about 7 hours. we figured doing a no-nonsense run, skipping cutscenes, using the karuma where possible, and using heavy armor for every mission to try for mastermind, it could be done in about 5.
