You've got to know the rules before you can break 'em. Otherwise, it's no fun.

So I said gently caress it and started a character on my 1st slot where I previously had a level 23-24 dude. Made him close enough to before and called him the same. Went through the tutorial bullshit (race, bust drug deal, rob store, free car). I noticed on the free modding session that I had way more shot unlocked and available (for free) than I recalled being available at the start. I imagine my 2nd character (level 16) is responsible for this and mods just carry over the account which is nice. Once I get out I hit ammu nation to buy some ammo and...

... :siren: Everything my deleted character had was available for purchase :siren:

SMG, Sniper Rifle, Sticky Bombs, Srandard Body Armor, etc. At rank 3. Hooooly loving poo poo yes! I even have a GPS marker for my home! Not sure if that was saved as property aren't available until you talk to Lester but I'm trying to level up and find out



EDIT: I have access to the mechanic. No extra cars but I can call for my first one.

EDIT2: just bought the Elegy and can have the mechanic deliver it so my property IS there I just need to rank up to access it!

I haven't had any trouble logging in the last few days and now, today, every time I connect to a random job or free roam session I keep getting booted after 30 seconds to a minute. Is anyone else on 360 having issues? My character is still there with the correct items/money and I have no problem connecting initially, but I keep getting booted. I just wanted to do stuff with you all on my day off :(

Good lord survival has a decent payout if you make it through all ten waves. Fun times too. I have the weekend off work so if any Third Street Goons want to run some survival missions/grind something/cargobob unsuspecting players I'm game.

Anyone else annoyingly experiencing worlds where like 3 types of cars spawn only?

I've experienced this several times, where the streets are practically empty most of the time and only three different cars spawn. Maybe it's dependent on where the action is?

They can recognise you if you return without a mask. Eventually they might fire on sight.

Always wear a mask, you can remove a wanted star when police are in search mode by taking it off again.

Yep, my character is definitely hosed. My Bad Sport timer just went up MORE than 2 days and I was already half a day down on the time. I haven't even played the character (I joyrode in a military jet for like 10 mins then went to story mode).

1.03 patch notes
  • Fixes multiple issues causing character deletion or other loss of progress
  • Fixes issues causing infinite loading, infinite sky cams, and missing interface options between jobs
  • Fixes an issue causing the "replay" option to be locked out on certain jobs
  • Fixes an issue where a player would become stuck in the mod garage when respraying a Sanchez motor bike
  • Fixes an issue where the Player became stuck inside Los Santos Customs during Online tutorial flow.
  • Fixes an issue causing the loss of guns and ammo
  • Fixes issues causing GTA races ending early because of players spawning too far ahead
  • Fixes issues in Last Team Standing where sessions would not progress past the lobby
  • Fixes issues with network errors when joining Last Team Standing using Quick Job
  • Added clarifications around when a player is using a temporary character in GTA Online during Rockstar Cloud server outages
  • Adjusts the monetary penalty for being killed in a One on One match

So, did they really fix the disappearing characters/progress? Anyone lose anything since this patch? I've been holding out on playing online until they get that stuff sorted.

That just means they've been robbed by you before during that session, which I think also increases the odds of the shopkeep recognizing and shooting you, though that has never happened to me.
The checkmarks are not only for the current session, they are permanent just like the gang wars ones.

Actually to clarify on this, winning any race with any class will count as a win for all classes. ie If I win a race with a muscle, then a sport, then a super, I've just received three wins towards the unlocks on all cars.

This is obviously unintended unless they worded the requirements inside of the LSC garage wrong.

Finally had it happen. I showed up in a freeroam with a $5,000 bounty from an NPC thanks to a carjacking. Immediately two people are outside my apartment buzzing to get in (I don't really understand how they think this will work, but okay). I waited for them to finally leave, then ran outside and set up three sticky bombs around the entrance. Within a minute, another guy rolled back by in his personal vehicle, I set off the sticky bombs from inside my apartment and killed him. Of course, I didn't realize he was in his personal vehicle until I got the bad sport warning (the guy got to my front door before I could even walk to the couch to turn on the TV and check the camera).

Still felt good.

Now someone else is buzzing at the door.

Aren't those 'soft' server-side patches though? Because any time you start a mission, it'll say 'downloading' which I assume means it's pulling the requisite mission data from the servers. It's probably a lot simpler to just be able to change that kind of stuff on their end than to push little changes like that out over consecutive patches.

BitBasher posted:

Thanks. I'm now considering a Carbonizarre, Surano or Obey.

The Obey 9f is still AWD, I tested it myself, but it's not as good of a power distribution between front and rear as an Elegy. The Carbonizarre is RWD but handles pretty nice, and I haven't found a Surano to check out yet. I wants something in the Sports category because of the hosed rear end way upgrade unlocks work, so I can get a 2 seat sports car and a 4 seat Buffalo in the same categories my main road vehicles.

EDIT:


Yeah, I flip them upside down and gun the engine to check. The Obey 9Fs are, so is the Elegy and a number of the SUVs and off road vehicles.

Just to let you know, unlocks don't work the way that the game describes. To verify I had one more race left to win to get the best engine for my muscle car. I won a mountain bike race, and it unlocked...

I decided to bitch out on the achievement for surviving a bounty by posting up in a Pay n Spray, only to accidentally press the B button a minute in. I spawned outside right next to some dude. We SMGed each other into a pink mist and collected each other's $7,000 bounty. I get some of the complaints people are expressing right now, but it's so goddamn easy to have fun in this game.

I'm kind of a bounty junkie, so if I waste any of you goons while I'm out collecting, shoot me a message and I'll at least reimburse you the death penalty.

Any Stairs crew who wants some help playing through some of the crappier missions, I play most often in the AM EST. I'm usually not too annoying, and I don't rage quit like a baby if things don't go my way. I honestly just enjoy playing along with what anyone feels like doing.

So from the patch notes:

"Fixes an issue causing the "replay" option to be locked out on certain jobs"

Does that mean we can replay missions by going to the select next mission/freeroam screen again?

The payout for the low level jobs is far too low without grinding being available. I finished a mission, got 3k for it, got killed immediately after I spawned, so I lost 2k, then got spawn killed again bringing me to - 1k for the session. Ugh.

A good tip for racing is to always host your own games. I can't stand it when people put traffic on and their connection seems to cap far below dial-up speeds, resulting in NPC cars spastically jumping from point to point across lanes.
