Are you dying?

If you go to the Bank Online and hit Transactions it will tell you exactly where your money is going.

Yes. I know WHY I'm losing money, but the thing is that I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be losing money from the bank through death. And if I am, then that's a stupid mechanic IMO and I'm just not going to bother.

I thought the only time you are suppose to NOT lose money was TDM deaths.


Otherwise there is 0 Death Penalty.

I think losing it in free roam is intentional, and they patched it out of happening in missions/deathmatches/etc.

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.

Yeah this is still happening eve though they said they patched it out, you still lose money from your bank when you die, I make sure to deposit all the money but when I get killed there goes the $2k...

Wait, that's not supposed to happen? All this time I thought they were actually punishing me for going nuts for half an hour instead of doing missions.

-attaching a sticky bomb to a helicopter, and leaving it in a well populated place.

Paying for death was fixed to work like single-player.

In an instanced, loaded mission? Failure just means restarting, bank account intact.
In freemode just getting plucked off by pubbies while piddling around? Pay the piper.

I'm pretty sure Rockstar said that you're supposed to lose some fraction of the cash you have on you when you die in freeroam. Losing money from your bank account shouldn't happen.

Ah ok. Well, I think there should be some mode to support this in freeroam without bankrupting anyone. If two people are shooting each other, the game would let you join some freeroam feud.

--edit: FYI I am talking about bank money going away, not cash on hand.

My garage is starting to come together nicely. Got the freebie RH8 in there along with a Sanchez for offroad fuckery. I had a Felon GT, but I finally just found a Sentinel (not the XS, just plain Sentinel), and figured who wants a lovely softtop when the Sentinel has the coolest hardtop convertible animation? So I sold that sucker and used it to pay for the Insurance and respray on the Sentinel.

I think I have a thing for the Dark Blue/Bright Orange colour combo. Now just to grind the 50k I need to slap the 1000-1009 logo on them.

Also, the marina apartment is possibly the best in terms of location; it's right near an ammunation, just around the corner from the airport LSC, AND you're just a quick 20 second swim from helicopter access. If only it had the heist planning room, it'd be perfect.

How did you get the freebie RH8 in Online? I only got it for free in the singleplayer.

What happens when you sell someone else's personal car (after killing them and taking it)? I assume they can just use their insurance to replace it?

Oh huh, the game said Los Santos Customs wouldn't look at stolen cars, but they sure as hell did after I killed a guy, took the car he was driving and sold it to them. So, the restriction is actually only on modified cars, not stolen cars?

No, it applied to 'high-end' cars. They can't even be taken into LS Customs.

I picked up somebody's modded sabre, it didn't say it was owned or anything, but it wouldn't let it into my garage or los santos customs because it was modified by another player. it didn't give me poo poo for putting it into the god drat ocean either.

Yeah, I want to know this too. When I first started playing I assumed that was a penalty for griefing others but surely not, since it's rampant (as it should be, this is G T loving A).

On the other hand, the thing keeps telling me that rewards come to good sports, but I have no idea what those are either.

The only thing i know for sure gives you a bad sport rating is destroying other people's tracked vehicles.

Griefing in general doesn't even seem to do it because i got a $1000 good sport bonus, and i've wasted half an hour hunting one lone pubbie who pissed me off.

Unable to play anything other than solo mode atm, which is fine given my nearly 8 uninterrupted hours of playing last night. Had some great fun zoomin around in a helli and grinding up some xp and cash doing the violent ducts mission. Bought an apartment fully expecting it to disappear any minute, so we'll see how that goes with my troubles getting in today.

It says when you receive a bad sport tag, and I can happily announce that blowing up a gas station/untagged car that led to the destruction of a players private vehicle did not hit me negatively.

I've been disconnected 3 times today, but apart from that everything is working really really well.

Also, when working up for the apartment, i couldn't seem to build any cash. Now that i've got it and don't want to keep money on me, i can't seem to get rid of it. i've got 2000 bullets for each weapom, a ton of ammo, and keep abusing merryweather, but i always seem to have enough money.

The reward is $1000, you will get it sometimes, not sure how often but it's not that common.
From what I've read you get bad sport points for destroying other peoples owned cars, not by simply killing them.

I constantly blow dudes up in their custom rides, the game keeps harassing me for bad sportsmanship, and keeps giving ambiguous warnings that I'll regret doing so. But uh, if someone's on your tail in their custom ride, and you sticky bomb their poo poo for them to gently caress off, how is that being a bad sport? I just ignore the warning and do my own thang anyhow.

Nobility is sadly overrated.
Everybody needs to remember that it is the weekend. The servers are going to get smashed harder then they have been yet. So even if you've played and got a character, expect issues aplenty for the next 48 hours.

Just something to keep in mind.
