Robert C Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Got on for about an hour tonight. First thing I did was notice I had a bounty. Second thing was blow up some asshole's Zentorno. It's like I never left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Some goof came at me in a Zentorno tonight. Here's the funny thing - he came at me, tried to do the backing-up thing, didn't like his line, drove forward, backed up again, didn't like his line, drove forward and backed up again. He had a pretty good line that time, so I blasted him with a rocket and went on my way. Here's a weird one - was doing that game where you try to drop off the car at a certain point. I was behind the car and a pink dot was closing in on me. The person delivered the car, so I threw it in reverse and took off back down the hill, where the pink dot shot me. I thought "oh, want a fight, do ya?" and got ready to lay the smacketh down. Or so I thought. Turns out pink dot and the one who delivered the car were in the same crew, and they started obliterating me with that marksman rifle, just whipping my ass. I decided I needed a breather, so I got behind some rocks. I noticed they were near my car, but I didn't care about the car, it was one of my Sultans. Then I notice they're driving off in my car. "Hey, wait, I'm 99.9999 percent sure I've got it on Passengers." Sure enough, check the menu and it's on passengers only. So how are they driving it? I can't recall my personal vehicle because the game says I'm not using one (despite the moving car on the map). I can't kick them out of my car because it says there's no one in the car. Finally, I just switched the setting from Passengers to No One, and I noticed that stopped the car and kicked them out. I could then request my personal vehicle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I got no answer for you on that car. Never seen anything like that before. When I got on, the game sent me a message that I had been given $50000 and items. No idea why, or what the other things were. I did find a way to get even more tattoos, so I now have 18 total. Also, since when has there been a 50 cal pistol in this game? Has it been there for a long time, and I just missed it? The goof in the Zentorno was funny. I was running down the hill just south of Eclipse Towers. He must've come out of his garage, saw me, and thought easiest bounty ever. He rammed me from behind and launched me down to the bottom of the hill. I got up and tried to use an RPG, but accidentally hit him with the fireworks launcher. He was so useless that I had time switch to the RPG and send him to the great beyond. I got him 4 or 5 more times before the server dumped, and was never in any real danger. Last room I was in was a giant clusterfuck. About 8-10 high level red dots fighting it out near the gas station in Chinatown. I held my own, but that was it. Then a kill list event showed up. Never seen one of those before, so I took off for the marker, which was way up in the northwest corner. I didn't make it in time, but did manage to catch up with a guy that did. RPG took care of his Kuruma, and then he got sniped running for a Buzzard that was out on the beach. I grabbed the buzzard, but it took some damage from some NPCs - I guess the kill list targets, maybe. I was trying to land the thing on top of Mt Chiliad, but the engine kept cutting out. Then the game sent me a message that Pegasus was reclaiming the Buzzard. The damn thing went on autopilot and headed south. After about a minute of that, it kicked me out of the buzzard, which promptly crashed, giving me a wanted level. I opened the parachute and managed to make it all the way to Sandy Shores. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 The $50,000 and items was a bonus for participating in at least a certain number of those new Freemode activities over the first weekend. Here's a dick move from me last night - the challenge to see how far you can drive without crashing came up, so I went to the airport and crashed into all the people on the runways trying to do the challenge. I think the 50-cal pistol was maybe the update before this Freemode update, the last for both platforms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Can you participate in any events in passive? No. You'll get a little pop up that says "You cannot participate in this event while being in Passive Mode". In fact, you won't even be able to tell what event it is until you're out of Passive.

jstout Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I grabbed a motorcycle for the longest wheelie contest (I'm a mark for these contests) and headed to the airport, where I took a pretty decent lead. I noticed my main competition was down there, too, so I chucked sticky bombs at him until he blew himself up trying to retaliate. I won. RUkered, I joined your party, but I couldn't tell if we were having communication problems or if you were on the phone. I was having some odd headset problems last night.

Dolfan in NYC Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Very nice trick on the longest wheelie.... if you grab a bike off the street, do a donut until the back tire pops (or shoot it out). The bike will then allow you to wheelie as long as you don't crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Or just get a Bati or a Hakuchou for the same result. Another longest wheelie tip: If you start near the runway lights in that circle, that's your longest no-traffic straightaway on the map, (I'm omitting the Zancudo runway, which is a longer straight, but you're too likely to have jeeps and trucks in your way there.)

jstout Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 My clusterfuckery on one of those hit the rings by air competitions today would've been great for a GTA dimwit youtube video. I didn't know that if you died, you spawn near aircraft. Unfortunately, so does everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so proud I dalm near shed a tear. That's hilarious. I never heard you in the party. I figured you were just too busy beating the hell out of that dude who was away from the controller. Stout killed the kid so much that he ended up having to cross two bodies of water to keep up with his respawns. Anyway, I really hate One parties. You can't tell if anyone has joined, left, etc., and it's annoying having to separately load the user list to launch or join one. Oh yeah Stout - I recorded two different clips of you raising hell if you want to check them out. If you don't see them, let me know. I'm still trying to learn exactly how that upload center thing works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to do that challenge, and someone flew by in a Buzzard. I don't know if they were intending to shoot at me or not, (they booked it when I got out and aimed a homing rocket at them,) but it disrupted my score, so I got a Hydra and shot their buzzard out of the sky. Then I got 7 more kills on them before they finally got one on me and took off running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I was working on my K-D by killing that kid over and over. Actually, it was me taking out my frustrations over being everyone's punching bag lately. I just haven't played well. I did dig my airstrike kill on him to start the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstout Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I saw those. On the one where I hit him with the car, he was lagging like hell on my screen, I had no real idea what was going on. He hasn't been on here in a while - the Mayor didn't get swept up in those bullshit layoffs, did he? I think he kinda works for another branch of the operation, but I'm not sure.

Robert C Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Really surprised, but grateful, that they're still doing significant updates to online. I guess they'll keep pricing this shit high and assume people will keep buying shark cards. I'm still curious how many of those they've sold. If all the money I've spent in this game (most of which came from the free money days, and other nefarious means) came from shark cards, I'd have spent about $2000 in actual currency.
