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 |

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! Most people crash you in an attempt to knock you out while also maintaining their own speed. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But, if you know that you just need to barely tap/clip them to wipe them out then yeah, everyone will go for it. Imagine if it was like NASCAR and everyone had to watch a Yellow Flag replay

Did a bunch of races and only a couple guys went out of their way to ram into me.  I thought it would be worse. Sometimes I accidentally ran into people because I underestimated how insane drafting is.

I let everyone get out on front of me in races. Then after the initial first few seconds when everyone runs one another off the road I'm always in first or second. Now, holding on to that lead is another story.

Pubbie racing in three easy steps: - The Commute with super cars, no traffic, no cops, catch-up on, custom cars on. - 16 racers get into a big clusterfuck of somersaults and pirouettes within the first twenty yards. One guy in his souped up Entity makes it out unscathed and wins. - Repeat for hours with no variation.

Got to play with a couple of goons, but for the most part the invites I kept getting led to full lobbies so I ended up slumming it with pubbies for a while. After a mission, one of them decided to try to kill me immediately after we respawned in free roam. I retaliated and murdered him over and over until he requested a 1v1 deathmatch that I couldn't accept without paying a $500 fine because I had a wanted level (that this is even a thing is just  on Rockstar's part). When it started he immediately left and some other schmuck in the lobby became my deathmatch opponent, except the kills we made didn't count towards winning the 1v1.It wasn't all bullshit though. I got to play Mixed Up With Coke, which is pretty fun. I ended being the last one alive chasing down the final cement truck. I got killed by the enemy Buzzard's rockets, but the same volley also blew up the truck so we won.  Kinda sucks you have to be fairly high level to unlock more interesting missions than car repo or drug delivery.

JoeyJoJoJr Shabadoo posted: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. Slipstreaming most likely. Sefiros posted:Does anyone else ever have any problems getting on any more? If I ever try to play online after around 10pm I can't get on for the life of me. It either can't find sessions or fails to host sessions. I'm not sure what the problem is as it works fine during the day and I doubt it's overloaded servers considering everyone else seems to be playing the game fine. My buddy was getting that tonight, he dashboarded out and rejoined and it worked fine again. He's on stolen wireless so it's always a little shaky with him anyway.

Harmonica posted: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. Well we aren't really playing a MMO, it would be nice to get rid of the grind and simply release content. Some of the modes are quite fun while others can be a little unbalanced with the right weapons (sticky bombs will make missions where you have to destroy something on the other team quite easy. At the moment, there are some really cool missions that actually require teamwork. The one off the top of my head is landing strip. But half of the modes online suck pretty hard. But there is only so much that you can do in the game right now that I have to question if it will maintain its longevity regardless.

all apologies posted: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. I remember getting kicked from a round because the host had a lovely internet connection and it giving me a warning to stop being a bad sport. I was wondering if you could get nailed for that, and now I know.  They should seriously remove bad sport from blowing up cars and fix it so it takes the deductible from your bank instead of cash on-hand. Bad sport should only be for voluntarily quitting mid-round/TK'ing in missions. If people don't want to be killed in free-roam, R* should fix passive mode, not punish us for playing the drat game.

JoeyJoJoJr Shabadoo posted:What's slipstreaming? Behind a moving car is an area of low pressure. By staying in this low pressure stream your car is experiencing less air resistance than the car in front of you. This should allow you to accelerate much faster and temporarily reach a higher top speed. This can allow you to slingshot around a car if you ride the stream up to the car and then dart around them.

Are all bodies sized equally to prevent players from getting Oddjob benefits during gunfights? Has anyone successfully made a teeny man or woman? My guy is under 5 feet tall if the intro where you meet Lamar is any indication. I don't think he even came up to his shoulders. It's sensible to assume that differences in lifestyle wouldn't affect that, only parents.

You guys would be surprised how long it takes you to get to top speed. It's likely that they just took a corner really well and came out of it at a higher speed. You know, I really like racing in this game, though. Obviously the damage model is top-notch, and the slipstreaming mechanic rides a nice little arcade-style line. It's just a shame that a significant part of it is learning which cars are straight-up the best.

Question I have 400K in the bank which property should I buy? The consensus seems to be that the most expensive one isn't that great view wise yeah? I have a dilemma where I wanted some left over because I'm saving for a buzzard but at the same time any money leftover I have to "deposit" back into my bank characters cash and you can only do 10K at a time which is a BITCH to launder Intrepid00 posted:drat. It is super hard to lose 5 star wanted level. I did it though. Only way I could was have Lester locate the sub for me and dive our in the ocean. If I can get there I usually grab a chopper. Copper choppers chase you relentlessly and it's hard to lose them without picking up speed by going low to the ground but usually they break off at some point anyway. Still takes a bitch long time.

The location is much better than the more expensive one, you can get a helicopter in less than a minute and it's easy to pass by without making a special trip. The view is also very nice.
