Also I can start a crew only session, but I can't join anyone elses, and no one seems to join mine.

I've tried to join crew sessions and it says something like "no one in your crew is available" which I know is false. Must be another thing they still have to work out.

Where can you get/steal planes and helicopters? Do you have to do something to unlock them?

There's a helicopter in the LS airport. You just go up the stairs where the flight school is in SP, hop over the fence, then run a bit and its right there. I think one also spawns at the yacht club.

I haven't found any planes yet besides the ones in Fort Zancudo. Which I'm SO close to jacking but as soon as I jump into the cockpit thats when they decide to shoot me :(.

I actually got vote kicked out of my first game already by a few care bears when I rolled up on them and shot them while they were sitting in their car, apparently they thought they were playing Gran Turismo :smug:

This is funny, because I spent 10 minutes leading some tooled-up dink with an SMG up and down the Western Highway trying to claim some chump change three-grand NPC bounty on me... and then I got vote-kicked? I guess for being a bad sport and not surrendering to him?

I tried getting back into GTAO, but I guess I got sent right back to the same one because I got kicked maybe 30 seconds after. And that's how my night ended! Just hope I don't get docked Good Sport points, because I already got a $1000 allowance for being a swell guy and I'm halfway to an apartment.

You don't get much for completing all 10 waves of a survival (20k cash, I think about 3k RP). But getting to temporarily keep the weapons you picked up is a reward in itself. Rolling up with a minigun on pubbies who at best have the mini SMG. :getin:

In reference to the "fix" where you delete your title update, how do you actually do that? I deleted my cache and the game didn't try to re-patch.

Thanks, random goon, for picking me up in a helicopter from the Santa Monica pier when the cops were chasing me. I hope I didn't chat too much.

ahahaha, I think that was me, but I had my mic charging so I couldn't hear any chatter at all. I was hoping you might be able to gun some folks from the passengers side, then I figured I'd just try to land on the ferris wheel and see what happened.

I love that there are multiple goons out there picking up fellow crew members in helicopters and doing random poo poo, and it could have been either one of us. This game is incredible.

Outside of "pubbies whine a lot when you beat and/or escape them" the most important thing I've learned in the past 3 nights is that if you can maintain speed, know how to brake, and can avoid accidents, you are a Racing God and can mop up like a motherfucker.

How do you get through level 10? Are you playing with a group of people you know and/or using a mic?

Usually I it ends up being me and 3 pubbies: one quits as soon as they die, as soon as the chopper shows up my partners die and I have to clear that level myself, then the same happens next wave but I die trying to finish the wave alone. Even if I were to luck out and end up with 3 competent people, I don't know if we could beat it until I get a mic and we can coordinate.

My experiences have been similar. I can't get into any crew games, so I end up playing with random dudes and we never get more than a mission or two before people drop out. The gameplay has been great but it's been hard to build any momentum.

So what the gently caress is up with the car upgrading system? Specifically the engine and turbo upgrade. You have to win up to 40 races in that class of car to unlock them all. That is a lot of races to win. I could understand if it was 40 races won total, not per type of vehicle.

This was a while back, but I think this is bugged. My personal vehicle is a Vapid Dominator, Muscle-class and I have been unlocking upgrades and gaining credit for class-based wins for it despite never even racing in the Muscle-class, let alone winning.

I tried deleting my title update and clearing the cache several times, deleting my character and making a new one, opening ports, DMZ, solo mode, pressing A, switching characters.

What actually worked was just trying it a million times until it finally threw me into the first race with Lamar.

I don't think there is actually a "trick," it's just dumb luck and confirmation bias.

Missions tend to be generic fetch quests so far (rank 16), but they are pretty fun if you have a mic, play them on hard, and have a group of buddies/goons. Otherwise they are extremely repetitive and I'm against grinding them too hard for fear of burnout.

I hope the whole "we have 500 missions and are making more!!!" wasn't just Rockstar hyping a bunch of minimal effort World of Warcraft quest clones. Heists should be a blast once they get released, but I wouldn't mind a little creative variety on par with the single player missions. I still want to infiltrate that prison, assassinate the warden, and free the inmates dammit...

The missions do get a bit more involved as you rank up.

Example, one from Lester when I bought a sniper rifle. Have to steal a plane on a beach north of Paleto Bay, guarded by a dozen mooks in open space. One player gets to provide sniper support to support the others while they try and jack the plane. Once you have it, you have to land at a hostile-filled airport so the team has to jump out of the plane and clear the field while the pilot circles and prepares to make a hasty landing.

It's still not as indepth as some of the single-player stuff, but it definitely begins to ramp up from 20 onwards.

I played that one with a good group of higher level pubbies, and while the pay out wasn't any where near duct it was much more entertaining and definitely worth the 30 minutes and multiple deaths we put in to complete it. I was flying the plane and couldn't make out his chat through the engine noise (headphones) to tell me the landing strip was clear or not to land. First attempt to land they blow out my right engine, second attempt they were still there and I managed to pull back at the last second. Third attempt they were all gone but I came within inches of hitting a massive boulder upon landing. Best mission so far.

ExZippo, I dunno if you have the same name here or if you survived that military base, but I managed to swipe a jet and buzz some other folks out in the desert. Unfortunately, I got shot a few times and ended up crashing into the nearby lake and dying. :( You might be the best helicopter pilot I've seen. How'd you fare in there?

Were any members of Awful Company hanging in the desert? I wanna know if it was some of our guys I did a fly-by on!
