Ahh ok. Or maybe afk? Basically just idling in game to keep your businesses running.

Yeah with almost everything being able to be done in private lobbies now the need for passive afking is almost nil at this point

I suppose it would have been helpful for me to quote the context, or to remember the wording correctly:Baron von Eevl posted:I like that the nightclub safe now makes nearly as much money as the warehouse and sales with the only investment being "walk out, enter passive, walk back in, throw out nuisance patron" every day or two. I remember that there used to be a trick involving going afk without the game noticing so you could earn money while you’re asleep or at work or asleep at work but I think someone mentioned that that got patched out and I’m not sure if that’s what’s meant here

When I said "go passive" I meant passive mode, if you ever the nightclub while in passive mode it will prompt you to throw out a troublemaker for $10k and a boost to nightclub reputation. Having high reputation means the safe earns more money. Why entering the nightclub while in passive mode triggers this is a mystery.

From what I understand that is no longer working so you have to rubber band a controller. I used to enter a mission right by my office, go in, watch TV and leave it overnight every night. My hours played must be insane

Like slowly driving a drunk VIP home. Which if you quit or fail, hurts your rep, and thus, your cash. Also you used to be able stand at the open nightclub safe and it wouldn't trigger the afk kick either. With max rep that could add up to almost a million while you slept. Then top it off with a sale and it was a nice chunk of change. It got patched out at some point though.

Last I checked you could idle watching the dj on TV from the office in your nightclub but that was over a year ago and probably got patched.

namlosh posted:Not sure what snack menu you mean... but definitely learn to use snacks in the weapon wheel. It's a change made in the last year or so and I'm still not good at it, but it's worth getting good at. For crate delivery missions, if you get the plane delivery vehicle, there is a chance there will be enemy choppers waiting to ambush you. If you get that one, there will be 3 choppers total, 2 buzzards and one Valkyrie that will gently caress your poo poo up. They won't be together, just 1 chopper at 3/10 drop offs. This can still be done solo, you have enough time to scout out the drop locations and shoot down the choppers with a buzzard that will spawn automatically next to your delivery plane, come back, and still make all the deliveries on time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR3iNZP3pk8 I think that fuckoff Valkryie can also gently caress your poo poo up on one of the cayo perico setups where you need to follow a Merryweather helicopter. I think it's because it's technically a cannon with explosive rounds and not firing rockets.

Yeah, that’s what I was doing… you have to go to the airport and enter the plane to kick off the mission, then get out and go scout the locations to kill any enemies camping at the dropoffs. I was in my oppressor mk2 when I ran into the Valkyrie. It shot me straight off of it midair and spawn trapped me. That poo poo is legit bad.

Definitely throw out the patron, sure, but for all other nightclub Rep gains, just go to your basement (this is important, it prevents the whole cutscene from playing) and just rehire djs at $10k a pop. Every time you do it, you get 10% of your popularity back. A new DJ hire will get 100% popularity back, but it costs $100k (and you can only hire a given DJ for the first time once, and then after that, it's a rehire for 10k). Because the nightclub safe can get up to $250k pretty quickly, it's worth it.

The Omnis e-GT car is on sale for 40% off this week. It's a terrific electric 2-door that can be upgraded with armor plating that actually does something. Additionally, it's eligible for Imani Tech upgrades from the Agency vehicle workshop, making it immune to missile locks. I have two of them and love driving them around.

Paying2Lurk posted:I played the Merryweather setup mission for Cayo once. Never again. Instant lobby hop if it comes up. Fly to where you think it's going, look for the Avenger. If not there try one of the other sites. Once you find the right place, land a bit away, and snipe all the dudes on the ground. They won't even react as they guy next to them drops dead. Then it's just a matter of hiding behind something util the chopper shows up and the last two guys get out. Shoot 'em, get into Avenger, grab the thing, jump out, parachute to your aircraft and be on your way. The only problem I ever had was one time when the site was the desert one, and I got a mission failed while I was waiting for the chopper to arrive. Did it again, same thing, followed it the 3rd time and watched it repeatedly crash into the mountain until it blew up.

I really like the Merriweather weapon sourcing setup since other players can lock onto and destroy the chopper and halt the whole thing

Sorry for the doublepost but I have a question re: the acid lab. I finished the First Dose missions and got the truck, and I have $750k sitting in my bank account. Should I just upgrade the truck to get the lab now, or is it worth doing the Last Dose missions for Dax too before I get into it? I'm kind of ready to stop doing missions but if they're very important I suppose I will

No, and I kinda hated the last dose missions. You get an okay electric super car at the end.

# ? Apr 19, 2024 03:58 |

The nicest things about the electric supercar are that it's free and it can be upgraded if you own an Agency with imani tech for the lockon missile jammer, making it good for driving around in open free mode. I just finished the new Cluckin Bell raid missions for the first time the other day. Seems like it would be a good way for a newbie to get $750,000 (500k payout + first completion bonus), with basically zero investment ahead of time. Though having an armored kuruma probably helps make some missions easier. Plus they can be replayed to keep getting an easy 500k. Maybe I'll try it using my Weaponized Tampa for the setup missions next time. HJE-Cobra fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Apr 19, 2024 |

Weaponized Tampa was one of my favorites early on, even though it drives like a 1987 Fiat with a half flat tire. As I built up my armory it fell out of favor; coincidentally the Speedo from the Nightclub is just a better version of it in every way.

Due to time constraints I no longer play GTAO, and have been encouraging someone, anyone, to step up, take the reigns, and do us Goons proud... but I haven't gotten any takers. It's easy! It's fun! The secret to creating the raddest Goon Night ever is to pick a date and time convenient to you, and then post it here and in Discord. That's pretty much all the requirements: posting and playing. If you post it, they will come!

I’ve got the acid lab up and running and it’s kind of nice how explicitly solo friendly it is, even selling a full batch of product is tuned for single player missions. Grateful for that, rockstar I also really like how you can just call Mutt on the phone to get an update of where production/supply is at. I wish all the businesses worked that way, or that you could access your various business computers from your phone
