On PS3 I'm getting a "maximum amount of RP per races" message. They've capped how much you can get from it now.

El Hefe posted:Choose the super class, 3 laps, no catch up, traffic on, and just keep trading places with each other through the whole race, that's what gives you the RP, trading places the lap time doesn't matter. I was maxing RP simply by beating lap times and without trading at all so it definitely matters

That's been there but I think it might have been lessened now, because when I raced the other night I maxed out with just 1 lap and no slipstream or overtakes. Need more information though.

I know that not every new player should start with an RPG but having to get to level 30-something just to get your first assault rifle is a little bit ridiculous.

So, I wait three days in the badsport lobby, with passive mode on. I get into a normal lobby free roam, get kicked randomly, end up back in bad-sport with 4 more days. Got to be joking me This is such a loving joke man, I mean seriously? If I was glitching money, loving cheating or something then I understand. Okay, I blew up some cars, did my time in bad-sport world, then I got hosed, again. all apologies fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Oct 18, 2013 |

So one thing I've yet to even think about yet... what the hell are JP for anyway? I know RP is ostensibly your XP gain but what do JP points actually do, if anything? Are they just to show who's actually doing the most missions in a given lobby?

Real answer: they make you look like you're doing a good job to anyone in your current session and always reset when you switch to new ones. It is your "score." It has one use: to tell who is in which place during a Playlist.

Woodburger posted:Up until today I believed I wasn't going to do the car selling glitch and that I could just make money the normal way. After running enough missions to get about $200k then losing all of it trying to have fun killing pubbies I have decided I no longer care. I did it with the free Elegy until I could afford a more expensive car and when I get back from class I'm going to have a great time NOT getting pissed that in 10 minutes I lost 3 hours of work. How did you manage to get killed 100 times in 10 minutes?

I actually found a pretty decent strategy, only used once but on the last straightaway that goes towards the port, they are probably thinking they are home free, if you treat it like a landing strip you can land and use machine guns

MailboxFullOfBombs posted:If they really are listening to fan feedback like they say I hope they realize that absolutely nobody likes this grinding bullshit. I know that not every new player should start with an RPG but having to get to level 30-something just to get your first assault rifle is a little bit ridiculous. The trouble is that if everything is available from the beginning, if the weapons aren't dirt cheap you create a system where you absolutely have to grind from the beginning to own the really expensive hardware. In that case, if you don't grind at all, you're going to get destroyed by those running around with AKs and RPGs. If the weapons are dirt cheap, though, then they remove a huge amount of longevity from the game (however artificial that longevity is), and everyone gets the fancy toys from day one and gets bored a few weeks later. You could argue it's kind of ridiculous making weapons part of the grinding since there's relatively little novelty in unlocking weapons in GTA (especially considering that people will have probably already played with them in single player). Or perhaps they just haven't done a good enough job of making the weapons exciting. It's no Saints Row in this respect, after all. The weapons just do the job. Anyway, they went with unlockable weapons, and from that point they have to be gated according to levels, since levels are the one thing that people will all achieve as a natural process of playing all parts of online. Giving people an incentive to level up is important, to ensure people stick around playing activities. I'm not sure what else they could do if weapons were available to anyone, and relatively inexpensive. I was thinking maybe some kind of weapon upkeep system, with the more powerful weapons costing more to maintain, and performing dramatically worse if people didn't repair their expensive gear. As opposed to your cheap handguns and uzis not costing much beyond refilling ammo. Harmonica fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Oct 18, 2013 |

Would you take a green simeon import/export car that just had a bounty'd helicopter taking off next to when you arrived to jack it? If sticky bomb trolling didn't bring me so much joy, I might feel sorry for that poor exploded pubbie.

Woodburger posted:Excuse me for exaggerating slightly Okay, how did you manage to get killed ~100 times in x hours? I mean, you have to really put an effort into being terrible to use up 200k in one play session, even if you top off the most expensive ammo and blow up personal cars, which you shouldn't be doing anyway. I'm just sayin'...

ZombieReagan posted:I really don't get how the kick from Freemode thing works because I was getting double-teamed so I called in some Merrywether mercs to even the odds up, and the fuckers kicked me. I'm guessing it's not a vote or anything like that? Freemode kicks seem like total bullshit to count against "bad sport" unless a majority agree to it or something. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a vote. I've had players try to kick me before, but nothing ever came of it because they couldn't get enough votes.

coyo7e posted:Ammo is mainly expensive because your capacity increases surprisingly quickly, which means that after 10 minutes of fighting dudes, you've probably added 500 ammo to your max capacity and not even realized it. Eventually they all reach 9999 and it doesn't matter however, ammo is cheap as long as you focus on the wepaons you use instead of ALL of them, or simply don't bother to cap the ammo every time you go to the store. The trick with ammo is that it's shared. If I buy UZI ammo at $6 a pop, I can still use it in my MP5, only I didn't have to pay $10 a pop.

I haven't actually run the math, but it charges per bullet so the prices are different because the two guns have different sized magazines. I don't think they're actually cheaper.

The life invader discounts for stalking are pretty useful for buying expensive things. 10% off a car is nice.

Goddamnit I am so loving sick of morons who start the race and IMMEDIATELY RAM INTO YOU / PIT you. Both of us flip the gently caress over! It helps NO ONE except the guy in front who didnt get hit and gets 1/2 a track ahead. Goddamnit what the gently caress is your loving problem! E: I'm also really pissed about how people magically catch up to you in the same loving car. Like one race I was 4 check points in front of this guy, in second place, both in the same stock car, and then at the last check point he blows past me and I get in third. Like how is that even POSSIBLE??? No he didn't have a custom car.

Now that I can finally play I don't want to because the only things available to me at level 12 are deathmatches and races, both of which I find extremely boring and repetitive. Is there fun stuff to do at later levels, like co-op heists? Grinding is the worst...so pointless.

I just figured out how to collect your own bounty. Stand next to a propane tank. Shoot it. When it explodes and kills you, you get two messages immediately; You have survived the Bounty placed on you. You have committed suicide. The bounty goes into your bank, minus the $2,000 death fee. Some extra details, just in case they make a difference: Only shoot the propane tank once so it starts to leak, then wait for it to explode. I've only done it with the Propane tank by the gun store in Sandy Shores. noxiousg fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Oct 18, 2013 |
