How? Random NPC, punch out their car? I turned a Patriot into a mini with my fists and gained nothing, that was a bit over a week ago.

It was posted earlier but: you only level up if you hit valid targets like live humans or animals, a vehicle with a live driver is a valid target.

Player driven cars count so you can just have someone sit in a car while the rest re-enact the street fighter bonus stage, or if you spook an NPC by shooting in the air, you can stomp on them without them leaving the car, just big a flat bed or other car you can stand on while it's moving.

It's really not that tough, I did it with another goon and his (terrible) friend who kept dying immediately despite being next to him behind the trailer in the wall gap. I spent most of my time in the wrecked bus near the roof spot that is now off limits, and got the most kills in most waves, until wave 9 and 10 when the enemies' weapons were putting out too much lead too quickly. We still got to Wave 10 and finished it.

The advantage of a game like GTA is that the worse effect a messed up economy has is things like someone having a nicer car then you or more bullets, or a nicer apartment, basically, it doesn't matter at all.

There are bigger fish to fry ATM, such as these cloud inconsistencies.
Except when they can afford to continuously drop 9k bounties on you and anybody else in the lobby, don't have to spend time gaining money to buy upgrades, and can afford ammo at any time.
I was in a goon game the other day and BOSS WIGGAAAA was loving around with the 50 mil or whatever he had, and just dropping 9k bounties and mercenaries on every pubby in the lobby for hours straight. It was a blast but also when I've tried doing that, I am broke in about 30 minutes.

I almost had the best bounty hunt earlier tonight. I snuck up on the guy while he was in an Ammunation just northwest of the vinewood area. I chased him into the boonies and shot out one of his tires, making him fly off the road into a river. This turned out to be a ford so I had to follow him in and we barely made it across fighting against the current. We then raced through the marshes for a few minutes, he slammed into a tree... and then he turned off his console.

I was going to split the $7k with him. :negative:
He may have just joined a job or went into the online store (probably a job, so he wouldn't be out in the sticks when he comes back,) I use this occasionally when I need to use the WC or something.

I'm sure the thread has seen enough of this sort of thing, but I'm more or less mentioning it for confirmation rather than ranting.

With the cloud servers being all buggy right now, I've been unable to join in on online games. My character selection screen shows my characters level, and my crew/money in the top right corner - it does not, however, show my character model or any of the stats related to it.

Is this what happens when your character is deleted, or are those cloud issues and they will resolve soon? I know not to press retry or create a new character in the same slot.

Basically what I'm asking is, has anyone experienced the same thing and found a possible workaround? e.g. joining a certain lobby or doing some strange button voodoo.

Except he said people who told others to go play a different game instead of thinking the option of no collisions as a toggle isn't the end of the world. And that the usual suggestions of other games to play instead are nothing like this game and irrelevant.

Exactly. Like sure, 1.04 is a really bad patch and hosed poo poo up, but to say 1.01, which actually allowed PS3 users to play the game, 1.02 that actually allowed most people to get past the tutorial, 1.03 that actually stopped eating characters, were all steps backwards, is completely ignoring what the patches actually did. Hell, I'm pretty sure payouts weren't really supposed to be halved anyway seeing as how they don't actually follow any pattern at all whether you get half pay or not, and the fact Rockstar has never acknowledged that it was intended.

Sorry. I like doing missions but there aren't enough of them. Repeating them gets old so I look around for stuff to do. Got into a bunch of races last night with Coldforge and a bunch of other AWCO members that were a lot of fun. I'll be joining up on those more often now. Hopefully I can get some kind of answer from Rockstar support tomorrow about the 17 million some douche gave me. It's kind of nice to not worry about money but it does take a lot of fun out of the game when you don't have to worry about replacing cars and ammo.

So, I did a test last night before I went to bed. I was getting the server is not saving issue so I decided to spend some money and revert, then quit out and see if it saved. When I started I had 215k in the bank and $500 on hand. I first withdrew $10k from my bank account and spent it all. I quit out through the character select and went back in. When I returned I was back at 215k with $500 on hand. So i withdrew another $10k and spent $1k of it before going to bed. Today I logged in with 195k and 9k on hand. I'm now curious as to what would happen if someone were to spend all their money when it doesn't save properly, then reload and spend it all again

Having been through a few MMO launches, I'd say GTAOs are by far the worst. Connection issues are to be expected along with a bunch of glitches. The fact that characters were being completely deleted is by far the worst issue I've ever experienced, but ok they're new at this and they weren't expecting this many people, whatever.

Then they patched it and it worked loving perfectly last weekend. I understand people would occasionally lose a car which admittedly sucked, but in general you could play the game and expect everything to be there when you logged back in. I don't think there were really any connection issues either, which actually impressed me as I would have totally understood them getting overloaded.

And then they pull this poo poo. They drop a patch that completely blows up their butt save system and objectively made everything worse than it was last weekend for most people. THAT is what really pisses me off: not only were their launch problems on their own level of terrible, but they actually managed to gently caress up their game worse after it was nearly dependable.
