This is a good thread with a good OP, but I think this needs to be put in it:

I want a street racing pack with the ability to put stickers and spoilers and more power into all the existing cars and poo poo.

I want this.

Also, more anime skins for cars.

It was expensive-ish at the time but I used to love parking gold plated SUVs where the NPC cars spawn at the central one. At the time they were a rare spawn that sold for 14k. Didn't take too long for someone to jump in it for the quick cash and have the ignition bomb go off. I had several goons fall for that and at least one goon fall for it more than once, yelling my name as he sat in flames.

I used to park a random car with an ignition bomb outside the LSC downtown near Eclipse that everybody would go to. I would use it to block the door to the workshop so that they would have to get out and move it.

I also killed many goons with this. Sometimes the same person back-to-back.

If more active players want to join LLJK then room can easily be made for you, Just ask for an invite in the crew thread. :)

I also think a lot of the reason a lot of people aren't interested in joining the crew is that it adds nothing that being on a friends list doesn't already do (other than the logo for cars and clothes etc). Also joining on crew members has always been notoriously been buggy and less reliable than just joining on friends.

lol I just got an Xbox live "enforcement" email for undoubtedly messaging horrible things like "thanks, rear end" to people who intentionally sabotaged heists.

Although enforcement.xbox.com says I have a "perfect record."

Xbox live enforcement is absolute garbage.

Not GTA related but I once got banned for a week for messaging someone and saying "Lmao gg, too bad you had to backdoor to end the game", yet I've reported voice messages of people saying that they want to kill me and never got a notice that action was taken as you're supposed to get. Last time I checked it said that my reputation needed work too :shrug:

I gotta wonder if Xbox Live enforcement is handled the same way as Facebook's moderation.

Apparently for serious reports all Xbox reports are reviewed by a person, but the bulk of it is just algorithms. Get reported a bunch of times in a short period? Ban.

Their appeals process is the most hilarious thing as well, an infraction can never be removed but you can dispute. In order to dispute you have to answer a quiz on xbox live etiquette, if you get a single question wrong then sucks to be you - now you can't dispute.

MTA:SA was amazing and easily the most fun I've ever had in a Grand Theft Auto game.

I remember playing on some RP server as a mechanic and sitting in that big parking lot under the freeway where everybody would go to show off their cars and race and just raking in cash when they eventually crashed due to the lovely server lag. Of course, if they didn't crash then I would just shoot their tyres out from a distance instead to make some money :)

Edit: The only things I've done in GTA online that come close are flying around in a Cargobob and stealing personal vehicles/carrying a goon in a tank shooting at people, and of course dropping tanks/vehicles covered in sticky bombs on top of people.

Edit2: Also that dumb capture the flag custom job set on a football field with merryweather helicopters shooting rockets at you the entire time and the car basketball job on PS4 were pretty good too I guess.

NATO Rules was a job I loved to hate and hated to love and I would play it again happily because I am a masochist. Basketcoil is indeed awesome and I completely forgot it existed until I typed that previous post.

Might have to bring myself to turn on my PS4 and play some custom jobs later now.

I'm down for a PS4 playlist as long as it has Basketcoil and is at a moderately friendly GMT time.

What are some good crews to join for newer players? Any goon crews?

We have LLJK for the goon crew and its platform-wide, you can post your social club url in the thread after reading the OP and an invite will be sent to you.

Also as Jedi Knight said we have WEZL from back when there were about 16 different crews, it's essentially a gimmick for the GTA-universe news channel Weazel Action News and the crew logo is the Weazel News logo. Geeves (I think?) also used to run a Twitter/Tumblr and post news stories for everybody's news reporter personality. They were fun times and people need to post more stories.

Is there any way to change crews and keep a vehicle emblem after changing back? Don't really care about having different emblems for different vehicles or on clothing. Overall the grenade is off my brand, but I'd rather keep LLJK than create a crew of 1 just for some rotating emblem hijinks

It used to keep the emblem on the car until the first time you took it into a mod shop/destroyed it, I think it might still do this if you get lucky. Does the iFruit app still work? (lol I've been waiting to get my custom license plate for the last 5 years and multiple Rockstar tickets) You could always try applying it via that and then changing your crew before going into the game to receive it.

Is GTAO borked? Am I weird for only getting into it after the casino update?

Personally, I lost interest around the time flying vehicles were being added, that combined with all the businesses which were added which essentially cost more money to buy and upgrade than you ever made and the removal/nerf of cheese missions to grind if you did want cash.

I became a CEO and upgraded that almost all the way but then the MC content dropped which was essentially the same thing but with weed instead of crates, that pretty much started my decline in enjoyment.

...made them a poo poo ton of money.

I think it's pretty much this. I have no doubt that a lot of the devs/designers want to add fun and enjoyable content but were most likely told to focus on ways to get players to buy shark cards.

I'm honestly quite disappointed with the way online has gone, I hope it's somewhat different next iteration.

I'm looking at removing a few people from the crew who appear inactive or haven't followed the instructions to not make their profile private so we can actually see if they're active:

  • MrHagie (SA: hagie - has never posted in this thread, no social club activity)
  • Mike_NLN (Private wall, no idea of their SA or if they're active/inactive)
  • odorousgiant (Private profile, no idea of their SA or if they're active/inactive)
  • notkloa (No social club activity)
  • PasswrdisTaco (No social club activity)
  • Ribuli (Private wall)
  • MinonLacky (PSN: shinbunny, SA: 'Orential Hugs', has never posted in any of the GTA threads, requested an invite in 2015, no social club activity)

If this is you or someone you know is actually active then let me know and I won't remove them. I'll come back to this post either later tonight or tomorrow.


e: Nobody claimed these goons so they have been kicked

Someone called my Vagner a frog car and I laughed because it reminded me of doobie so if you're looking for a logo still the frog logo could be really funny

If someone wants to make a crew logo of the "home of the frog dog" logo I will 100% set it as the crew emblem for a little while.
