I see a goon group is available, is it worth it to join LLJK if, again, I just want to gently caress around and am not interested in anything competitive? Does this game lean heavily on griefing?

IcePheenix posted:That doesn't count as "hacking" does it? Also if you invite a friend to your session with that active can they join? It doesn't count as hacking because nothing it does couldn't happen without it (the process can be suspended in other ways, ports being blocked could be normal windows behavior). If you invite a friend to your session you'll need to "unlock" the session while they join (ie disable the port blocking) but if both of you have session sweeper you can both "lock" the session when you're both in and it'll usually keep people out. I do that all the time with a friend of mine.

Does this game lean heavily on griefing? Sure, go ahead and join up. I don't see as many goons on as I used to (but then again, I don't play as often as I used to, either), but I'm sure you'll find a few to chill with. Doesn't hurt to join the Discord channel, either.

I don't imagine you'll ever make a ton of money just sandboxing solo, but it's nice just enjoying the gameworld without all the single player stuff hassling you and having access to everything that's been added to online. I enjoy just driving around doing the gang attacks. You can register as a CEO and once you buy the Buzzard you can easily do sightseer and the one where you transport the suitcase for easy money. I forget, can you do the car import/export in an invite only session or it has to be public? And if you're the only person around it just adds NPC's to shoot up your car here and there.

If you use the game to launch a solo session it limits the ceo and biker stuff somewhat but you can still do i/e cars both source and sell. Not sure about bunker and air stuff If you start in a public open lobby and then somehow go solo you can still do everything buy and sell for ceo ,bikers, bunkers,air, etc Only limits there is some big sales need multiple vehicles, and if you sell an i/e car in a solo lobby you’ll see NPCs bugging you

The NPCs it spawns for solo sell missions are like a hundred times worse than potentially being attacked by another player

On ps4, I can lower my mtu setting to 825 and get an empty public session. Friends can get in, but the session can be a little buggy. Also, having more players often seems to cause more randoms to join.

HORMELCHILI posted:The NPCs it spawns for solo sell missions are like a hundred times worse than potentially being attacked by another player slight edit to above for I/E NPC's.. If there's nobody outside your org in the lobby, the NPCs will spawn. If you have 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 people in a lobby and all in the same org and selling cars, and nobody else, then youll see NPCs. If the lobby is like 3 in an org and someone not(either in their own org, or just freeroaming), then there are no NPCs When I want to source and sell cars on my own with low hassle, I try to end up in a lobby with like 3-4 other people. It keeps the npc's from spawning, and there's usually enough dead space along the routes to not have to worry, other than the usual lovely traffic

If you have more money than sense (or friends), the Cargobob can be a solid work around to any of the NPC hostiles in source/sell missions. The downsides are that it's not very fun to fly, it's not terribly useful in freeroam since it's a Pegasus vehicle with all of the spawning issues inherent to that, and it takes literally forever to pay for itself in damages saved. On the upside it let's you skip a lot of the bullshit with sourcing. When you're good enough with the winch you can scoop a lot of the moving vehicle missions (like the race or amateur thief) and hooking the car-bomb car disables the bomb which saves you two minutes of putzing around (hooking the stunt jump car disables the boost on it too). Since NPCs don't spawn until you break a certain radius from the garage/pickup point, you can spend a bit of time gaining altitude to bleed for speed on the way back. Also, when you deliver a sourced vehicle with the Bob, it doesn't load you into the garage, you stay in it and can just fly back to the office pad. Your secretary can also spawn you into a new one for $200. Truth be told though, just driving the cars and taking the pay cuts might be just as efficient in the end.

I don't know if this is true for all the warehouses, but the La Mesa warehouse has an alley just around the corner that you can stash your vehicle in, and wait for the NPCs to come to you. And you don't need to go incredibly fast to get there before the NPCs are even close enough to shoot at you. Four waves of four (two cars with two passengers each), and you'll be left alone for the rest of the trip. Get into the vehicle and go forward or backward an inch to spawn the next wave. Do that, and unless you drive ridiculously slow, you should be able to make it to the drop-off point in time.

The cops sometimes kill off a couple waves of the attackers. You'll get a wanted level if you shoot one of the cops, though. Well, now I just use a cargobob, which is truly easy mode for sales once you have some practice at it.

So some hacker just randomly gave me about 8 billion dollars on the 360. I was planning on upgrading to PS4 soon anyway so I decided to have some fun with it and buy a bunch of poo poo. Is there any chance I'll get banned for this and if so would it carry over to any account I make on the PS4?

RE: playing in a session by yourself on PC. You don't have to get session sweeper or anything, you can just Ctrl+shift+escape, go to the Performance tab, click Open Resource Monitor, go to the Network tab. On there you should see GTA5 and you can right-click to suspend the process for about 5 or 6 seconds and then unsuspend it. If you do that in a regular public session, it kicks you into a normal session that's only got you in it, and no one seems to join you if it stays just yourself. Friends can join you like normal, and you can do all the work types, because you're technically in a public session. If you get more than a couple friends in there it will eventually fill up, but you can always just do the same trick again. I just leave the resource monitor open in the back ground and alt-tab to it for a few seconds if I need to.

Is there any chance I'll get banned for this and if so would it carry over to any account I make on the PS4? I was told that there are some glitchy things with over $2bil on your character. Like not being able to use Mors for insurance? Something weird like that If you make it through the first week or so of whatever the new DLC is without catching a ban then you should be good on that character/account I just learned that you can get up to 6 apartment/garages now. The last I noticed it was at 4, and I geuss when I've moved I just assumed I had to trade in old ones so i stayed at 4. One trick I found to make life a little easier is to buy multiple apartments in the same building. This way you don't have multiple places all over to maintain and try to remember what is where. At the time it looked like 3 was the most places in a single building(I went with Richards), but have since seen that Eclipse has 6 or 7 apartments so I might move there. When you drive up to the garage, it's similar to the CEO garage where it asks you which garage to park in. You can't switch from one to another without walking outside, but thats a minor inconvenience. It helps to clean up the list a bit when calling the mechanic, using the assistant, and other menus- instead of having to rememeber like 10 different street names, it's now just a couple names and the floor number, and that fits on my sticky note a lot better VV Durr, missed that. $$ Let it ride $$ Fart.Bleed.Repeat. fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Jun 15, 2018 |

Exactly, being on last gen is the only reason I'm not that worried. If this happened on current gen I would've reported it instantly and probably would've been too scared to spend it.

I think once, I went up in a room with five or six a side and it was the greatest thing ever. That game mode was my introduction to online gaming.

Ok so I haven't played seriously in over a year and just started up again. Do I have to get insurance on my cars or something cause I apparently have some sweet ones, and I'm worried some other person will steal it if I drive it, and I won't get it back.

If you have driven it into your garage once it should be insured, otherwise you need to visit LSC. Those bought from websites will have it automatically.

If it's a car you found on the street and drove into your garage then it's a personal vehicle with a tracker and can't be stolen. You'll need to take it to a mod shop and purchase full coverage if you want it replaced after destruction though. Easy way to check is hit down on the d-pad (or PC equivalent) while you're in your garage and the statlines that appear above the cars will tell you their insurance state.
