ANGRYGREEK posted:Speaking of, are there two playmodes? Free-roam and "mission lobby" or something? There's a free-roam which acts as a lobby, it has some ambient events (steal these cars for Simeon, grab this air-drop weapons crate, fight off a single wave of gang members), but most of the structured game-modes (co-op missions, deathmatch, races, etc.) are fenced off in their own instanced worlds that don't interact with free-roam.

Here are some tips for not losing your character. I've had a few close calls and I have lost money when the matchmaking "cloud" fails, I also lost a character early on. Ever since using these tips, I haven't lost anything. 1.) Never access GTAO from the title screen. Go to options->Choose character from single player. Retry is safe from this point. 2.) When match making is broken, ie can't start/join jobs. Do not make large purchases on non-character gear. Ie cars and Apartments. 3.) When you wish to logout, go back into single player mode, which forces your character to be saved. I have no idea if these are failsafe, but while everyone else has been losing their characters this week, mine has been fine. It is worth noting how the folks that are losing characters are logging in and out, so that others don't repeat it.

Yeah, you pretty much cannot bring rhyme or reason to the mythical entity that is The Cloud. The only thing that seems to be consistent is that mostly players who play for a larger amount of time online seem to be the victims, so it might have something to do with the "act" of logging onto the cloud servers. This might be a coincidence, too, anyway.

There's a radio ad in the game (not sure which station) that pokes fun at how ridiculous it is to have faith in a cloud-based service. I heard it after doing the tutorial with my third character.

So I bought some cars awhile ago and stored them in a garage. Then they disappeared but I just chalked it up to the game not saving. But today I bought some cars, saved it and rejoined and they weren't there. I know the game saved because I'm missing the money I spent on the cars. Any ideas what I should do?

I always seem to go airborne way more easily than I should driving it, like it's mass in game is bugged or something. It's got too much power to weight really, in single-player I will fly and flip driving up to the highway on-ramps when it crests. my new dog posted:How did you do that? I only managed to get my Voltic back while it was set to be in the garage, the first time it wasn't in the garage at all and the mechanic complained so I went and check it out and my heart sank. Sold a vehicle to the mod shop, drove around a bit, called him for another error, return once more and it was there. Second time I simply had to go to the garage and sure enough there it was, the mechanic was jerking off on the job and not making himself worth his pay. A garage or even a home is extra insurance, because when I lost my bike it was outside of the garage which happened to have two vehicles in it. Exited and suddenly no more bike.

My character in the first slot is almost certainly lost to the void never to return so gently caress it, I started over in the second slot (I can't stay mad at this game). It's still alive for now although the character portrait on the social club seems a bit confused. I'm gonna have to call bullshit on the bad sport warning they gave me too because it decided to dump me out of the game while it was loading free roam after a job. It said I was kicked by the other players (not very likely) but then blames me for "quitting" the job before it was finished. gently caress you game!

Aishan posted:Do the pedal bikes spawn anywhere in the open world, or do we have to buy them? They do spawn semi reliably in some places, and you see people riding them in places you'd expect them to. I can't remember exactly where it is, but there's often some parked at the hypermarket thing off the highway (I think it's along the Sonora Freeway?). If you can be bothered to head out that far, that is. Often in places with ramps or dirt tracks there are people riding them. edit: if anyone knows whether or not the Pfister Comet can be saved in the garage, that would be nice to know. I'm assuming not, but I don't think you can purchase it either. I've only seen one of them 'in the wild' since playing GTA V. Harmonica fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Oct 8, 2013 |

I'm really bad about this, less intentionally ramming and more "I'm focusing on what's coming up and not really looking at my car". I crashed into someone during a plane race last night and felt horrible about it. I'm just bad at this! Edit: That being said, as soon as someone so much as bumps me, I'm going no holds barred, P.I.T. maneuvers on the remaining drivers.

Just created a new 360 crew for goons. Posted it in the private servers thread but thought I'd post it here too. SOMETHING AUTO  Wanted to design an emblem that would look good in game and have an immediately recognizable tag for us all, plus I think a few of the other crews filled up with people before online came out so there's a lot of member who haven't even played the game. Ask for invites in the crew thread and I'll add you ASAP. PriorMarcus fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Oct 8, 2013 |

I really like how you can chose color combinations for pearlescent paint jobs. If only we could get decal layers I'd probably blow my cash on modding constantly.

 You can use all weapons from, say, a Maverick if you approach the slide door and double-tap Y. This is also how you latch onto SUVs, probably. Lanth posted:And SplitSoul, I am usually a better driver than that, honest! It was fun while it lasted, but I now know that Cargobobs are rank-specific spawns. I'm amazed at how long we survived at Fort Zancudo, though. Also felt pretty badass to whack that guy at the edge of the map from a helicopter.

If you see someone driving in the high priority vehicle for Simeon haul rear end to the docks. Park your car in front of the garagedoor and hide behind the concrete barriers so you have a nice view of the garage. Call Lester, wait for the guy to enter the docks. Have Lester make you invisible on the radar (lasts 1 minute), when the guy arrives he will have to get out to move your vehicle, after he has done that, kill him, steal the vehicle and deliver it. Done it twice so far and it's probable the most fun I've had yet online.
