Did you have to use the cargobob? That's the only way I've reliably gotten a tank out of the base.

Yes and it's super easy to take too, unfortunately you can't put it in the garage.

It's officially nerfed, however it seems like it hit the PS3 later than the 360 - either that or chaining it together staved off the nerf for a while.

That still works on Xbox. The payement is just 1/3 value. I was only 100k short of the 2n best apartment.

Yeah, Survival, Top Fun, and that one game where ThreeBomb destroyed the objective in about 1 minute with sticky bombs were really fun. Wished I could have done Escape from LS, but I've got stuff to do, hope some of you enjoyed my parting gift though!

I shot 2 of you in the face, not sure which 2 you were though.

Not me! I got the butt of a shotgun to the face, not shot (illigan)

Good times this afternoon with everybody, looking forward to more later tonight. Also, for anybody that's played with me: does my mic give a lot of feedback or some crazy poo poo like that? Some people in a race yesterday were telling me it was so I shut it off, and the speaking icon lights up a lot even when I'm dead silent... Dunno if it was feedback from other people talking/mic picking up everything, or if my headset isn't worth the $5 in 2011 I paid for it.

Pretty sad because i lost my level 24 two days ago and now they nerf VD. I guess i should keep a look out for people running mixed up with the coke? On the upside im pretty much the richest level 15 ever. But I cant spend anything because im so afraid that it will get lost :cripes: If anyone wants to grind some missions later tonight im in the AWCO crew. Gruntythirst is the PSN.

yeah, this owned. Mixed Up With Coke is the best farming mission by far and I really wanna do more (even though I now have like 350k in the bank, I have GTA greed)

also, setting bounties on pubbies and then watching it on TV is fantastic, just got to do it for the first time today.

everything about sticky bombs are also great, even though I left a Cargobob outside my apartment with two sticky bombs on it and no one found it and tried to steal it, that was unfortunate

Not just you, I've had a couple people join missions I wasn't even hosting, I'm still trying to figure out how the system works is all. It's pretty neat I just wish I had more control over it.

I've had the same issue on and off. Sometimes RT/R2 works, sometimes it simply doesn't restart the job.

Base Invaders has quickly become a good to grind for cash. I got 400k doing it solo on easy in about an hour, with 3 or 4 people it'd be cake. $25k per run, 1k RP, forget Violent Duct.

Also, when or if you ever hit level 75, a mission called Rooftop Rumble becomes available. 25k for maybe 30 seconds work.

How do you get base invaders? Ron never has any missions.

I fucking hate puzzles.
So does anyone else get a goofy sound bug on the PS3 version of this? The game runs fine for a while then all at once the framerate will hitch up for a second and once the game resumes the sound turns into a garbled mess of static until I quit all the way out of the game and join back in. It's getting really annoying to deal with and it *shouldn't* be the console overheating since it's a nearly brand new superslim.

Everything's fine.

Nothing to see here.
Just had a weird bug where it told me the Rockstar Cloud info wasn't available and kicked me to Story mode. I tried Online again and got into a session but any time I tried to start a mission it would run for all of about three seconds before telling me I failed and booting me back to the selection menu. Oh well, maybe later.

You can put either an ignition bomb or a triggerable bomb in the car. Doing so cuts you off from further modifications, though.

Alright, I've been rushing ahead solo to see content and I've picked a couple of missions that are worth doing.

Base Invaders gives 25K per run and is solo-able.
Crystal Clear Out gives 10K per run and has a nice boat that avoids all the bad guys at the end.

Once your past 25, the game gets pretty easy cash wise.

Goons turning on goons.

Had a laugh with a couple of guys from Third Street Goons tonight.

Basically me and TrashSenior ran into a group of guys and started a shoot out. While in cover I inadvertently pistol wiped TrashSenior and killed him.

One of the other guys that I killed put a 7k bounty on me. And TrashSenior killed me and took it.

I couldn't decide wether that was poo poo or wether it was payback for me killing him by mistake.

Later, we team up again and bump into Cake or death (I think that was his name). We total a car and are in the middle of a field together. TrashSenior straight out punches me cause I flipped the bird at him. So I shoot him dead.

Cake Or Death, obviously thinking I've turned on our goon crew pistol whips me, so I pistol whip him back and it turns into a flat out hilarious pistol whip to the death contest (which I won :) ). I was in tears of laughter at the situation.

We were men and put our differences aside. And continued on.

I got in on the fun as well, had a total blast. I was amazed my personal car could still drive after all of that. Sorry about driving the car straight into the river that one time, but the shootout with the cops was awesome.

Then I stupidly joined Violent Duct with goddamn free aim and was unable to get back into your session. :(

On my first, lost female character I definitely remember seeing more options for hats, including beanies, a cowboy hat, and a lot more caps. I started a new one yesterday and the selection is now far more limited, where did they go?

The selectable batch during character creation varies depending on the lifestyle of your character. Once you're in the game though, you can get everything else from the clothes shops.

So the special edition code for super special weapons and poo poo does not apply to Online right? The only reason I ask is I really loving want to have myself a .50 Pistol online, gently caress, I would buy a code for it- I am that loving sappy.

It applies. Sawed-off shotgun, bullpup shotgun, .50 pistol and a melee hammer are all free from the start, as well as all of the upgrades and skins for the .50 and bullpup.

What do you guys think is the best way to farm exp around level 35? I know the concrete mixer mission unlocks at level 45, but that's a long way to go and Violent Duct's exp reward is feeling pretty pitiful already. Cash isn't really an issue, I just want to rank up faster at this point.

So if your character is inaccessible in-game, and the Social Club page stats have defaulted back to Level 0 on everything, is it safe to assume they're gone for good?

EDIT: It's showing 0 for everything on the three story characters for me, too. Weird.

Congrats to El Jebus for basically singlehandedly winning a round of base invaders after his comrades (esp. me) got killed early on.

I don't think base invaders is an easy mission (don't think I've ever done it without dying once,) but the rewards are enormous.

Not really sure I should be getting congratulated. I died multiple times in every other instance we played of that mission (and maybe that one too!). I was really bad that game. I think my character is a bullet magnet.

I am basically looking for the same thing? level 15 and trying to get my lost levels back. I can complete races fast but they seem to give pitiful exp. Should i try to do races with more people? Im thinking the best way is just to get into groups with high levels doing 45+ stuff.
