Rain and muscle is just cruel and unusual treatment. My Phoenix has enough problems with rear stability as it is :negative:

And you're being fired at by the other players as well as all the military equipment on the base. That's what makes it fun! SUVs and Compacts are also prone to slip out in the rain a lot, hence why they're included.

I mean it's sort of a given that all muscle cars will slip at the slightest provocation but which one is the most stable out of the class? Gauntlet or Dominator?

Gauntlet and Dominator are both the most stable, but I prefer the Dominator.

Just had a 2-hour clusterfuck of a running city wide battle.

Started out as me pissing around LSC in my blue Police Transporter just denying access to the place. A friend of mine turns up and hops in the van with me. Another two friends of mine rock up in a chopper and we fend the place off from four people for about 20 minutes. I have to replace my van a couple of times but eventually the place quietens down. However it turns out two of the players just went to the LSC near the airport instead with a third guy joining them. I cruise over there and handle it myself while the rest of the server fights at the airport.
Another 20 minutes later and the battle has shifted over to the Mors lot. Here is when another crew of 5 turns up and starts trying to put the hurt on us (My friends and I were in a party but not in matching crews). Since we're right next to the Mors lot I can keep pulling my Police Transporter as they keep blowing it up. The battle slowly spreads out for a bit and the random unaffiliated players leave the battle zone. Suddenly one of the rival crew calls out a tank, that poo poo starts wrecking us up since that thing is just drat fast and can cover up and down a stretch of road easily. So we opt to throw waves of personal cars at the tank.
This goes on for a while until the driver starts to act more wary in his targets. We get lucky and a mugger pulls him from the tank, and the mugger actually gets away and the battle shifts back to the Mors lot. All this time we tend to have the upper hand on kills, I think at least. I was dominating four of them, only one player was on even K/D against me.
The battle rages on for a long while until two of them suddenly leave. We start to push the last three to the apartments near Mors when one of my team leaves with another friend to play Halo. It doesn't matter though, we push on and sure enough another guy leaves, then the fourth. Soon it's just one guy left that we just run down again and again.
And then suddenly... the final bullet drops as the last S420 tagged crew member leaves the world. There's no more shooting, no more players killing players in the feed. We ended the server war that we started.

Pegasus deliveries are really screwed up. My Buzzard always spawns at the hospital in SE LSC, without fail. Even if I'm, say, at the Pegasus hangar at the airport. Or in Sandy Shores. Or anywhere. It's like once Pegasus picks a delivery point for you they refuse to ever change it.

doing level 10 missions in a helicopter is surprisingly hilarious, by the way. "Go here, and with your pistols, shoot these five guys" is different in a helicopter constantly spewing missiles and gunfire.

Sorry for killing you earlier cashcamden. A case of mistaken auto aim.

You caught me at a horrible time. I'd spent the last hour repeatedly torching one of those guy's super cars, and they were perplexed how he kept having to pay for the repairs(thanks car farts).

I apparently did it to one too many and paid the price with my life many times over when about 5 of them joined in on me...

After the launch tragedy, I finally decided to try GTA:O again. It was... pretty empty. It was just me and another guy when trying to do races and LTS.

What I'm wondering about though, I got a message Rockstar put $500k in my bank. Why did they do that? Isn't that a shitload of money for a level 1 character?

They did it because, at launch, people were outright losing apartments, cars and some were losing the entire character save.

It was supposed to come a long time ago, in two seperate payments, but it took them so long that they just made it one lump sum.

No worries. There is a lot of confusion in the moment and auto-aim is a bitch.

The first time it spawned far from me, but on a street in the middle of a lot of activity. The second time? In the middle of the race track when I was standing a block from the first spawn. It's screwy for sure.

No, they're gone for good. People reported having their cars go missing when the last patch went live and Rockstar have said they're looking into it but as usual they've said anyone who has lost progress or cars due to technical problems have lost them permanently.

If you're only level one, that money will go on guns and ammo and cars fast if you don't watch it, I'd grind to unlock apartments and get a huge one first thing.

Was your garage reverted to an earlier state by chance? They're still looking into it and haven't explicitly said everything's gone, but they're "looking at options." They were apparently able to save some characters that had been MIA for a week, but I don't exactly have a lot of faith in their technical skills to recover vehicles.

All I know is I haven't played in a week, and I'm probably done with online entirely if they don't at least reimburse us. I lost about 1.5 mil in cars! Good luck getting your ride back.

Am I the only one to be stuck at "joining GTA online" since a week ? I'm playing since day 1 and my character is lv68. I emailed support and they deleted my first tickets and now they just send me some random bullshit about firewall and a link to Microsoft FAQ for when you can't connect to Xbox Live.

All my other games are working fine and I have open NAT in games that display NAT status, also tried to put my console in DMZ.

I tried to switch characters within solo mode or from the game loading screen. I tried to join a friend's session and joining a solo sessions. I get stuck at the loading every time and I can't play.

I don't think it reverted to an earlier state. I'd been saving up to get this car modded while it was sitting in my garage. Then after spending that money on it I was driving it around when another player blew it up. I hadn't returned it to my garage after modding it. Thanks for the link.

Drive your super into lsc then leave. Hop out, steal any sellable vehicle and go back in. At the confirm sell screen don't sell, instead load up the playstation/xbox store and then exit back into the game. You'll spawn in your super but it'll be sellable. It takes about 30 seconds longer but I make 5x as much this way.

does it dupe the car? or when you sell it is it gone. After you do what you say does it allow you to do the sell loop with the super car?

You can do the sell loop with the super (hit start right after confirming sell then go to options ->swap character) and you should keep it though I suggest duping the super at your garage in case you mess up.

You have to steal a car and load the store each time so it does take a little longer but even at twice the time I'm making 100k + per sale at level 17. I find the LSC in the bottom left of the map the best as it's closest to the road with frequent traffic.

If you can find somebody a higher level to dupe their entity/addr I'm sure it'll bring in 150k+ a sale.

Anyone else getting constant Server Time Out errors when trying to connect online? Last night I couldn't play because of the stupid 80028ed6 error. This evening I can't play because it gets stuck on the 'Joining GTA Online' screen until finally I get "Alert: Timed out locating session. Please return to Grand Theft Auto and try again"

My wifi connection (for my laptop) is 10ms ping with 9.5mb down. Shouldn't that be enough not to worry about time out errors on my end?

This is very frustrating. I haven't been able to play in two days, despite my best efforts to do so.

edit: whose problem is this? Does this likely fall into Rockstar's hands, my ISP (Comcast), or PSN? Who do I need to contact?
