J.T. Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED~! Or not since the one Sniper Only deathmatch we've done in GTA Online was ridiculously boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Area 53 blends nicely for sniping and more close quarters fighting There are definitely a few others that work well. Obviously not Lodge Battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Terminal would be nuts, especially if someone managed to survive climbing to the top of one of the cranes without being clipped by the other team. The counter-sniping on Terminal would also be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 As much as you don't seem to care for it (if I remember correctly), that deathmatch at the beach (can't remember the name of it - damn, i'm old) is really good for sniping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 That sniper match in the mountains might be the worst DM we have done. Maybe if we had done it with more people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I haven't played in for - ever but I see that a new DLC was released this past week, anything worth dipping back in for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Koch Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Not really, basically it's a new gun and couple of cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 If you're a big car fan, you can buy another garage to fill with cars, so you can have 20 with one character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 RUkered, how long did you stay in that room with those dudes? I thought that one guy was pretty cool. I had to split post-haste, I was running behind. We were having an good old fashioned car geekout, including you spending $9,000 on my Zentorno after water-logging it. Those are fun cars. I was hooking that one dude up with a Hearse, and it requires someone with a Hearse to spawn another one for whoever's wanting one. I liked that Karin Sultan he let me drive. Fully modded, it's like a slower version of the Elegy. Only costs $150 to replace if you water-log it. And as I get ready to order up another Merriweather chopper 'cause I'm too lazy to drive across the map, I think I should've gotten that garage near the airport, but I'm staying put. I still think mine's better, overall, and me being the Donald Trump of GTA, I can afford to treat myself to a chopper flight. Speaking of which, it's about that time...

RIPPA Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 God Bless you dumb ass Merryweather guys who felt the need to keep running straight into my sniper sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 What a bunch of idiots those Merryweather mercs were. For guys that love to tell you that they are former marines, that was not a smart advance. That two brains - one bullet shot was ridiculous. And yeah, Rippa, your toon looks like Sen Dog. That may end up being your character's alias if you keep wearing canvas hats. You do realize that the Beach Bum DLC put six or seven free canvas hats in your wardrobe, right? I have played more golf in the past couple of days than I have in the past couple of months, and I had to work dayshift this weekend. I thought I was going to back my way into a Special Crate late last night but some knobhead lowbie kept circling the flare with his Zentorno. I RPGed his car with him in it, signed off in disgust, and watched Ep 2 of Penny Dreadful until I got sleepy. I will have to wait another day to get the elusive Los Santos Belle t-shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 My internet was flaky as hell this weekend, so I couldn't get on for more than 15 minutes at a time after Friday. I did get on long enough to notice a few things - I can't hide my armor any more, even if I select the option. Thus, I can't taunt JT with my sweet, sweet Los Santos Belle T-shirt that I grabbed due to a special crate spawning in an invite only room a while back - the release note about being able to avoid melee DMs seems to have been bullshit. I can't find any way to do enable that, and from looking on online it seems that a lot of other people have tried and failed as well - It looks like they did something to those $1000000 + RP DMs so that either they're blocked or they just don't come up nearly as often. Used to be those would show up at least half the time when you picked a random DM. I haven't seen them show up once since the update. It's a nice change.

RIPPA Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah - just like that bullshit about not getting phone calls from folks (Lester, Simeon, etc..) anymore seems to be false I definitely noticed I get A LOT more invites from randoms now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am monitoring the GTA forums because I think that people are hip to invites to $1000000 + RP DM, so players are given to recreating the map and giving it another name in the hope that players are more likely to fall for the trap. I'm going to keep an eye on the GTA Online threads to see what is up and post the names of the DM Du Jour To Avoid here in our thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah - just like that bullshit about not getting phone calls from folks (Lester, Simeon, etc..) anymore seems to be false I think that actually works. I still get calls from the people whose special abilities I haven't used, but I don't get any mission related calls from the handlers anymore.

J.T. Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I definitely got called from Ron and Lester this weekend About missions or about game features you haven't used before or game stuff you haven't done in a while. I get calls from Ron because it has been ages since I've collected a crate drop and I get calls from Lester because I have never ever called him to locate a specific vehicle for me and it has been months since I've put a bounty out on another player.

odessasteps Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I hang up on calls so i never notice what they are. I thought you could turn off/on armor visibikity in the new armor menu in the inventory area. Same placewhereyou get the quantity of which armors you own.

Robert C Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah, the option to turn off armor visibility is there where you said. It just doesn't work, at least for me. I'm the same way about phone calls too. I almost never actually know who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Of course .... now that the weekend golf bonuses are done I'm shooting -7's this morning as I work towards 100% strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 When it comes to the phone calls, try (and I can't guarantee you this will work) calling all of the usual suspects for jobs. You don't have to do them. I think that's what will turn off at least the nagging phone calls reminding you that you can call them for jobs. I haven't gotten a call from any of them since I called them all looking for one of the new jobs a few days ago. Yeah, that armor over the suit thing is ruining my stylish look. Now I look like I'm some businessman on a Ted Nugent bag-a-drugged-turkey hunting trip. I'll have to tinker with that armor visibility thing, but I'm not hopeful. Broke down and stole/modded a Karin Sultan. They're a hoot. They're like the Elegy's slower, more controllable younger brother. I spent a FORTUNE modding it, though, somewhere around $300,000. It had every option under the sun. I spent $300,000 to mod a car I got simply because it's cheap and cheap to replace via insurance should something happen to it. Hmmm.

I still think mine's better, overall, and me being the Donald Trump of GTA, I can afford to treat myself to a chopper flight. Speaking of which, it's about that time... I hung with them at least a couple more hours, if not more. Both of them seemed like good dudes. We ended up grinding Rooftop Rumble a lot. The second guy that came on had a good strategy for it. He'd hang back while me and the other guy chased down the guy fleeing with the documents. We'd go back to freemode at the voting screen, and then the guy that hung back at the garage would start the mission so we'd spawn right at the garage again. It made everything go very quickly. And yeah, I was holding onto my cash like Scrooge until I hopped on with you guys yesterday. I should have learned by now to not take the most expensive cars in the game up mountains at 150 mph. Stout let me try out the Zentorno, and I was in it maybe a total of 5 minutes before I rocketed over a cliff and spun out straight into a lake. Goodbye, 9 grand. Then I ended up buying the 10-car garage by the airport. Then Stout's buddy let me drive his BF Dune Buggy around. I owned one long ago, but you couldn't mod it at all other than the tracker and insurance. It wasn't worth it because someone would immediately shoot out the tires and it was undriveable. But now that you can fully mod it, that will be my go-to vehicle for the foreseeable future. Then those guys clued me in that the topless Coquette was now available. Here's the worst part of it all. I hadn't bothered to go back and put 100% armor on most of my vehicles since I unlocked it. So I decided to take some time and make sure everything I owned was fully upgraded. I had literally just driven out of LSC, spending about 100 grand on my Coquette when the guy mentioned the topless version was available. *sigh* So I drove it back in, sold it, ordered the convertible, and modded it up. Still, I think after I earned money doing Rooftop Rumble so much, I'm only down about a half million. I'm not up in the penthouse with all the hookers and cocaine like Stout, but I still have a couple mil to my name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
