I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
The most important thing to do while looking for a car is to look for some other car. I once spent an hour looking for a certain car and getting nothing at all similar to it. So I decided "gently caress it, I'll just take one of those other cars I saw, I kind of like that one." I couldn't find it at all. Though I did find plenty of what I wanted before. Keep switching sessions and keep switching cars to change your vehicle seeds. I find the game does exactly the opposite of what you want it to do. Whenever I want a car, it spawns zero cars. When I want an empty street to do something, all of a sudden 20 cars spawn in and line the street.

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


As a side note, I think that is the first time I have ever seen a Bagger online.

I still haven't seen a coil. I think though I've only noticed a coil in single player 2x. 2nd time I wasn't on a mission so I car jacked it.

Thanks so much! Same as anything, I saw about a million of them while I was looking for a Ruiner. The last one I had took about an hour to find.

The firetruck is so friggin annoying.

Got seperated from my car and tried walking back to get it, while a guy with a bounty on his head was roaming the area with a firetruck. Every time I came near to my car he'd water me down and then drive over me.

I just wanted my car back :(

(couldnt shoot him cause i was in passive mode)


Yeah, this is super annoying. When I log in I immediately look for a good car to sell, but below level 10 all I saw were the GTA equivalent of Mini Coopers and beaten up old cars that sell for <$1000.

Yesterday I immediately found a Baller though, 8.7k in the pocket.




Also did my first survival mission yesterday, the one at the airplane graveyard.

We started with four people but pretty soon it was just me and a pubbie left.
Neither of us used a headset but there was this mutual understanding of hiding behind the same container and covering each other's asses.

Did 2 rounds all the way to level 10, picked up some sweet guns (advanced sniper, mini gun, sticky bombs) that are all above my level. And got 40k cash, guess I'll be buying the 223k apartment soon.

For some reason I couldn't use the minigun during the mission, even though it was in my inventory.
After the last round and in free roam it was available. Had quite a hard time gunning down the helis because of this.

Snipering is dangerous as the heli deals a lot of damage, any tips on how to get them down easily?

Did the other guy get 40k too?

ASK ME ABOUT RUINING EVERYBODY'S LIFE
is there a way to have a friend & crew session? Its really annoying because I have four friends I play with all the time so I make a friend session, but I would also like to have crew members not on my friend list join. If I make a crew only server can I still invite my friends? The menu system in this game is terrible so I hope im not missing something obvious as they have crew + friend chat settings, I was hoping they would have something equivalent for lobbies.

Maybe it's just my connection or something then, because half the time I have no idea at all whether or not my opponent actually got to the ball. It makes it impossible.

I've only played 3 matches online, and only had connection issues on a few of the points. But I'm probably just getting lucky. I would play more if I didn't have to wait in an empty lobby for 5-10minutes before some random connects to me.

I wouldn't believe those 'dump' stats floating around completely. Some cabrios are shown to have different stats, some don't.

I could be totally mad, but I could swear the Sentinel and Sentinel XS drive a lot differently. The Zion shows different stats between the Cabrio versions but the 9F doesn't? Yet they seem to handle differently.

Mistakes in spreadsheets can be made, (the Sentinel XS is listed as the soft-top convertible for example, when it's the base model that is the convertible).

Ten million years of absolute power. That's what it takes to be really corrupt.
Has anyone had any problems with ammo disappearing after you die? I have noticed that sometimes after I die, the SMG lets say will suddenly have far less ammo than before I died. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes it will and its driving me nuts.

Fixed!

The only difference in the models I think is the roof, so I couldn't say if I've seen an XS convertible. The only time I see what I can confirm as an XS some rear end in a top hat is driving it like a maniac.

They drive around where you bring Simeon cars at the dock. Also where Merryweather is guarding that secret project at the docks (which inside has a hidden player sub).
