When you pause the game you can't be hurt at all in game. Someone tried to get a bounty on me, I killed him three times and blew up his personal car then he got me through auto aim and then he just stood there when I tried to kill him again. He was paused so I couldn't get him. He eventually quit before I put a bounty and mercenaries on him.

If you're in a car you can be killed when your car blows up, even while paused.

Even after the quick restart nerf, at level 60, I'm still able to grind "base invaders" for good money. Ron only gives me one mission, so there is no chance I wont get it, and the mission start/end points are the same place. Its only added about a minute to my completion times.

You can solo it on easy in about 7 mins round trip, with minimal RP awarded, or set it to hard, and use one of the lazers in the base to clear everything out. This takes longer, but is worth far more RPs, since you will be killing around 100 soldiers on the ground in addition to the end of mission RP rewards.

It's no rooftop rumble, but still very good money and exp.

What console are you on? I need some high level people to drag my new character up.

Okay. I'm deciding to release this. I have hosted enough and will allow it to become public.

1. Host criminal record
2. Turn catch up off. Custom vehicle on. Traffic on and wanted level on.
3. Change split times to personal time not world record.
4. Set laps to 3
5. Invite players in. Works best with two because it's quicker.
6. When you complete a lap you will get a big white bar of rp. Around 1.5 bars no matter your level hen you get. 1k for going through checkpoints and 1.4k for finishing first. In total around 7k rp a race.

Lunethex on PSN, come do this with me, hopefully it works.

Sometimes I love the accidental little bits of perfect timing. Bought the $391k apartment, and then went straight to the nearest clothes store to buy some new attire to match it. Turned out to be Ponsonby's so, of course, I bought a full suit because why wouldn't I? Immediately after doing so, I got the Snappy Dresser award. :allears:

If you put a crew logo onto something like a car or a shirt, and then later update your crew logo, does the logo update on the thing you put it on, or does it stick as the old one?

I assume it updates since it probably pulls the latest logo when you log in. But if it doesn't you could set up a nice fleet of different cars, or have some variety in those t-shirts or sports jackets.

I told a pubby how to get the sheriff SUV and we rolled around lighting up other pubbies yelling "THIS IS THE LSPD, STOP DOING CRIMES IMMEDIATELY."

Then I went to get a respray and blew 25k on my crew colors for it because I thought it would be free like the other colors. Welp

That's at least 50 cars.

Why are mission selections so out of whack?

I haven't seen a survival mission pop up as a vote choice until now, at rank 11. I really prefer the PvE missions over the PvP ones that seem to be like 99% of the voting choices after a mission.

Survivals unlock at rank 15, so you'll only see them if you're in a lobby with someone else who can access them. You can join them freely, but they won't appear without (in my experience) a high enough level host. After you get into a survival, you can host it by hitting replay if the original host leaves, even if you're underranked.

All the missions in the vote choices are races or PVP/Survival of some sort. None of them are the co-op missions.

Did you notice the "Requires Rank 15 (you are rank 11)" in the Survival lobby? Your host was Rank +15 or else it wouldn't be possible to show up. Just rank up to 15 and host your own* at will from freemode.

I haven't tried. I have a pretty crap internet connection until next week so I was worried about being a lovely host. I was trying to figure out if it was my connection or GTA online. I don't get any lag in free roam though.

Are there any rules to putting bounties on someone? Some dipstick pubbie kept killing me while I was getting tatoos and I tried to put a bounty on him and his name wasn't in the list. Taking justice into my own hands, I hunted him down and he was in a Mini, I was in a Sandking. I won.

That survival mission popped up in the voting selection, I guess the host picked it specifically? I'm almost positive I've seen other coop missions I've voted on there before, one of the 'retrieve the drug package and bring it to my place' missions.

For some reason the Survival missions show up but the other ones you're talking about are multi team objective modes like Cops and Robbers in GTAIV.

There are "Missions" in the voting selection and there are "Missions" that you get on your phone. There is zero crossover between the two mission types.

I had a weird encounter with a dude yesterday. He had a 7000 dollar bounty on his head when I spawned into the server. I started to drive off to do my thing, and he chased me down along the highway. I crashed off my bike over the edge of a bridge, landing beneath it (quick way to get to cover--yeah, I totally planned that ahead of time) and he stopped like he couldn't figure out where I went. Then he drove down the off ramp from the bridge and just...sat there, like he couldn't understand what was happening. So I popped his skull with a sniper rifle and pocketed his bounty.

How do you get a 7000 dollar bounty and act like that? Was he trying to welcome me to his server by offering his life?
