Parkingtigers posted:Also, something hilarious about the strip club. No bouncers, so you can touch the dancer as much as you like. The flirting is no longer a button though, you have to talk into your microphone to flirt. Rockstar are being glorious trolls here, someone somewhere is going to embarrass themselves over mic and I only hope I am there to witness it. Do private dances or the strip club have any benefit in GTA:O?

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.

Just had my first jets vs dirtbikes. We replayed it five times. I honestly don't know which side was more fun. fake edit: I think the Sentinel XS is available as a first car and that's one of the good ones

Robawesome posted:My rank 15 guy seems totally gone now, online character select isn't even showing the proper cash balance anymore. Should I wait this out, or is it safe to start a second character in the second "slot"? No one really knows for sure. Characters exist in the cloud and sometimes your game won't find them like it won't get stock prices. It doesn't mean the game ate your dude, the cloud servers have been flickering off for days now. I'd think a new character slot would be safe but no one can really say.

Obsurveyor posted:Long term goals are fine but it's gated by some pretty poor requirements, encouraging grinding over gameplay because the grinding is easier, faster and more successful. This is pretty much every MMO ever, the community will find the most efficient way to do something and grind it forever. El Hefe posted:Just found out that NPCs can put a bounty on your head, I stole a car from an NPC and immediately I got a text telling me I was a fucker and was going to pay for it and right after I got a $5k bounty. I don't know if trains exist but I think hopping in a train under cover would be a good way to ride out a day with a bounty for that achievement. And also make everyone cry while chasing you down.

It's a little squirrely with low driving skill but once you get a few points in the skill to control it a tad better it's pretty awesome. Like a fast Blista Compact from previous games.

I took one of those giant dump trucks from the quarry into the city. It took forever as it goes 10 mph and even less up an incline, and I had no idea what I'd do with it when I got there, but it was fun regardless. Eventually I happen to drive by a group of three pubbies on the docks, they had assembled a collection of trucks and helicopters, I assume to take photos with for their clan page or whatever. I proceeded to drive this giant rear end truck in there and pushed all their vehicles into the ocean. I have no idea why they didn't shoot me during this. I left and they followed me (slowly) for a while and then just kind of drove off. Periodically they'd try to pass me and I'd run over them, crippling their cars. It was more than I could've hoped for.

marktheando posted:Yes it does, I lost $30k on my first character. And surely most people have lost characters, there are enough posts in this thread about it. If there are people who haven't lost any I'd love to know what they are doing right that I'm not. I've followed all the tips posted by Rockstar, not pressing retry, exiting to single player every time, etc. People who lose characters are posting about it, yes, but that doesn't mean those are the only people playing. Everyone who got online fine and have been playing without problems aren't going to check in and post about it each day. I doubt there is some magic formula to not lose characters, you can minimize risk by exiting to singleplayer and not brute forcing your way into multiplayer but basically it all comes down to the sporadic cloud. I'd be willing to bet the majority of players haven't lost any character though.

Finally ended up in a free roam with a bunch of Stairs Inc dudes and it's the one time I'm showing my newb friend the ropes. Sorry to the goon with a bounty on him I was shooting at in a chopper, I don't think bounty targets get the crew outline on the minimap. Or the pink outline doesn't show up well with the red bounty dot.

Frankston posted:gently caress that. Some guy thought he was funny running me over so I lobbed a sticky onto his car and blew it up as he drove off. That's entertainment. There's nothing wrong with singular occurences like that. It is dickish to stand outside the insurance company blowing up everyone's cars however. I think there could be middle ground, like: -blowing up a car with someone in it = legit -blowing up an empty car = bad sport point

Your bounty persists if you log out and back in, but sometimes you don't get the repeated "You have a bounty" message and you really should be able to check. Ahh gotcha. Stairs Inc crew is pink which works great on the normal white dots but I couldn't tell on the red bounty dots at all.

How many sticky bombs does it take to blow up a tank? I ate about ten deaths in downtown LS trying to stop a pubbie in a tank but apparently the tank shells ignore your cover. I hit him with about six sticky bombs for sure, possibly more (I had ten total). I guess next time I'll just try my luck with passive mode, there was no escaping him.

Maybe you could reload and get back in but there was a 95% chance you'd get stuck loading a job. I really don't know where you got the idea that people that were able to connect once had no problems, that does not reflect reality at all. Once you got through all the tutorials it was smooth-sailing for the majority of people with connecting. Then the issue was character wipes but even those people were a minority.

Icedude posted:Just caught some sneaky fucker with a bounty hiding on top of an apartment building to try and trick people into thinking he was sitting inside an apartment. Clever, very clever. I like doing this with some of the downtown stores, the big ones where people can't generally see your helicopter on the roof. Pubbies will gather and kill each other trying to get my sweet, sweet delicious bounty. My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. I was also just thinking recently, you know how in singleplayer when you light a gas trail with exhaust flames you don't get a wanted level? Does it avoid bad sports points to do the same thing with player's cars? Or driving/dropping into the ocean, etc?

I think I'll have to do some experimenting tonight. And by experimenting I mean straight up lighting dudes cars on fire. Will report back. There has to be some way it can be cheesed. Parking a dude's car at the gas station and then blowing up the pumps, etc.

Holy Calamity! posted:I'm really disappointed they removed restarting missions (which is just a mindbogglingly retarded decision), because unlike some people in this thread I was dreaming big. One apartment doesn't cut it, nor does a single maxed out ride. A property on every corner stacked to the brim with sickass hot pink rides, that's the life for me. Removing restarts prevented the entire playerbase eventually making $2 million/hour, which would invalidate the entire economy and job progression. I don't regret grinding for an hour but I am sad I never got to see Cargo bobs. I went straight to Buzzards.

Macrame_God posted:This. You gotta be brutal to survive GTA Online. After coming in 2nd in a friendly game of golf my competitors and I spawned at the entrance to the club. After noticing one of my competitors had a bounty, I immediately hit him with a sticky bomb and got $3000. Unfortunately I got a Bad Sport notice because I accidentally killed the other competitor and destroyed his car in the process. The owner of the car then challenged me to an impromptu deathmatch where I won 5-to-1 by nailing him with more sticky bombs. I'm sure the money I got from the bounty was completely offset by all the sticky bombs I used, but you can't put a price on being OG. I haven't done it yet but I'm always tempted to immediately gun down my former pubbie teammates when we finish a well-paying mission and spawn in free mode together. I'm not sure how much money they'd drop but they would have over $5000 cash. I'm also surprised I haven't been gunned down either. As for car bombs, sticky bombs are like 1/10 the price but I suppose you then have to watch the vehicle in question. I like taking heli's, find some bounty hiding in their apartment and land the helicopter outside with a sticky bomb on it. Some other pubbie usually swings by to check out the bounty at some point and there is no way they're passing up an empty heli in the street.
