^^ I wonder if the attack chopper still spawns at the NOOSE Compound. I'll have to go check it out.

I have to say that playing with friends makes this game about 1000x more fun, so everybody should be joining a goon crew!

Problem is you look just like me. And I look like everyone else.

Oh man that's disappointing. I suppose it makes sense though.

Thanks for checking!

I just loaded up GTA:O and it gave me the option to edit my characters looks. Anyone else had this happen? I keep my rank, but I can change up all my sliders and stuff. Weird!

Is the 'Join Crew' option working for you guys? It keeps telling me that it failed to find compatible sessions with crew members in. Someone said the cloud was down earlier, so that might be it, just wondering if anyone else has had any luck.

So I just switched to my online character and it asked me if I wanted to edit her appearance, and I said no, and it said it couldn't connect to the game. Okay, no problem, happens a lot. I go to reconnect, and it's now erased the character it JUST showed me 30 seconds ago. Nice!

The cloud is freaking the gently caress out right now. Your character is probably still there, you'll just need to try again a bit later.

For those who got past the tutorials, is it still tough to get into GTAO or was the primary bottleneck? Assuming your character wasn't deleted of course.

I've been able to get in without any problems since yesterday morning. I'm on the PS3 in the UK. Character has saved and everything!

Is there any way to turn off/reduce volume on voice chat on the PS3? I tried playing a few games online this morning and all I heard was 12 year olds screeching at the top of their lungs at about twice the volume of the game itself.

Bring up the interaction menu and there's an option to turn chat off completely or set it to crew, friends, and crew + friends.

I'd like to thank the 5 or 6 goons that I teamed up with last night on PS3. We started hunting down pubbies and ended up in Sandy Shores, started a war between us, the pubbies and the cops. Online owns, 10/10.

Also I noticed if you start missions and then back out into free roam you don't end up with the same people. I was wondering if there was a way to end up where you left off in free roam?

When you can vote on missions after completing one, one of the options is to vote for free roam, I think that puts you into a free roam with the guys you just did the mission with.

But if they were doing other stuff, wouldn't it say "busy" or "refused" or whatever?

I don't think so, for busy I think you have to set your phone to busy, and refused means they saw it and actively declined it. When it just says invited, I think it's just sitting in their phone and they've ignored it.

Insanite posted:

I'm a bit confused about voice chat. When you use the interaction menu to swap voice to nobody/crew/friends/crew+friends, does that mean that you can't hear random pubbies in the instance, or should you still be able to hear them, but they can't hear you? And does proximity come into play at all?

Also, the 1.02 PS3 patch has things mostly going smoothly for me. Glitched out and lost a race's winnings once, and I also lost connection *after* finishing a mission and was told that I was a bad sport for quitting early (!?), but I received cash and RP, anyway.

It means that only the group that you set chat to can hear you, and you can only hear them. As far as I can tell proximity chat is not a thing.

Go to the 'Online' section of the pause menu and you can join crew/friends. If you want to join a specific friend you go to the friends section of the menu and do it through there.

Says here "Spent on heathcare and bail" for every freeroam death of mine. Despite talk about it being fixed in the last patch.

Someone posted earlier saying that the patch only fixes the bug where you were losing money for dying while in deathmatches and such. Losing money for dying in free roam is working as intended, I think.

Side note, suppressors are great. The damage reduction is pretty much minuscule for being able to kill people without popping up on radar.

What else determines whether or not you show up on radar? I seem to always be able to see everybody on the enemy team at all times, is that just because they are sprinting around non-stop?

Do you have to be in stealth mode to not show up, or is just walking enough?

How could they even patch this out? It seems like the game world reloads because of a memory issue.

They could make it so that you can't go to the money store while you're wanted by the cops. Then it would just take too much time to be worth doing.

Though no doubt someone out there would still do it for 12 hours a day.

I don't think that's a really fair comparison. I've beta'd and played release of probably two dozen MMOs and not once did I ever expect something as severe as the server losing characters to happen. Bugs are bugs, but whoever said this should not have been marked as ready for release was right.

But these issues are only cropping up due to the massive influx of players. If they never released it, they would never know about these bugs, so how could they possibly fix something they didn't know was broken?

Well then call it what it is and warn players, "hey, you're guinea pigs, so expect characters to vanish." Don't tell us it's released "with bugs but we're working on it just keep playing if you can." I'd almost rather have them take it down than see all these players losing their progress. Comparatively with other online game problems, I think completely erasing all progress for a player is seated firmly at the top of the list.

I definitely agree that they should be more vocal about these issues, I was just pointing out that delaying release wouldn't have helped anything. :)

Oh, weird. You mean, money other than what your killer takes off your dead body?

edit: speaking of which, I was killing someone over and over again yesterday and each time he dropped $100. Is that the money from his bank account that you are talking about, or is that just free money that is a reward for me for killing him even though he had no cash on him?

That $100 is just your reward for murdering a dude that has no cash on him at the time.
