They patched replay out because some people wanted to accelerate the shitty money grind? Really?
Oh, sorry for the double post.

Oh, sorry for the double post.
matter fact, stuff i bought AFTER the Trevor mission is on my character, but not my apartment i bought well before that and its just now telling me about Parachute jumps which i did too.
that has nothing to do with servers cause it clearly saved its actual broken programing and i doubt their TU is going to fix it, since its not something listed in their "issues" page.
i just love how they partitioned this after release so none of the reviews actually were able to test this and see how broken it is, keep throwing the word "FREE" on every article tho, as if thats the universal way to ward off criticism, cause nobody assumed it would of had an online mode, let alone to actually work

So deathmatches no longer takes thousands from you for each death?

I replayed a Survival (Horde mode basically) with 3 randoms for an hour or so. This was post PS3 patch. Either replay is still working or their are caveats to what can be replayed. We were making good money on the replaying survival.

How do you save & quit online?
I only had the option to kill myself for $500.
I just dashboard quit, did I lose all my progress in doing so?

That sums up how I feel about the online portion of this game, all the living breathing world stuff should stay in the single player enviroment.
Earlier today me and a friend were in a random battle royal with some random folks and it was fun but after a point we basically all had to make a truce to hold fire so we could go away and earn more money to support how we wanted to play this game.
I feel as tho im having to work in the game to support actually playing the game and its just killing the experience for me.

Maybe? I just switch to Michael.
I don't really mind having to pay for stuff, it isn't hard to make money. I also feel like it gives more value to the money. I do think its dumb that you loose money in death match, though it SHOULD make ppl value their lives and be cautious. I'm having a blast though! Try stealing a helecopter and watching people run from the cops.

Got my apartment, woop.
What rank are you?

Yup. Only money you spend on deadthmathches is in the ammo or bulletproof vests you buy, no more hospital fees from dying in challeges/missions.
It was pretty retarded to have hospital fees in missions, but even more retarded for deathmatches. I dont mind with fees in free roaming as you can enable passive mode or just create a private loggy and invite ur mates there.
What i still dont know is if after patch the characters still get deleted (or houses, garages, cars)

Does GTAO use a seperate save from the main story saves? Or does it share between them?
Patch won't help with that. It didn't on PS3 anyway.
Seperate, I think. I'm not even sure what they save locally since the cloud breaking even blocks out the image of your character on the switch wheel.

Yup, my character is gone. I still have the bank cash I had on her but it shows me that I'm not part of any crew even though I am in one.
I wonder if there's a chance my char will return or should I start another one? I really don't know.
WHat I did was bring up the menu and select 'Playstation Store' then is asked if I wanted to head to the store and all current progress would be saved. As soon as the Store appeared I bought up the XMB and quit the game.
Are there any free garages/safehouses when you start online? I need somewhere to put my car rather than retrieving it from the Police Impound impound all the time.

I did. Created today after the patch.
I did.
Yeah! knocked over some stores. We'll have to play again sometime
Man I feel so bad for you. You've had nothing but trouble haha
I swear it gets better at higher levels!
Press start and go to the menu, select Online, then select "Leave GTA Online". This forces a save when it exits you,.

There is no local save, at least on PS3.
Go to the Start menu and then to the Online tab and press Quit Online. It says something about your progress being autosaved.
Yup

Buy money
Jesus, this scares me. I lost my level 10 character yesterday. And when she didn't come back after the patch, I created a new one today. I've had nothing but smooth sailings. I was thinking that the only people losing characters were ones created before the patch.
But I guess not. Now I'm going to be paranoid the entire time. Any moment, this new character could be gone. =/
Sometimes there's a little number in the bottom right of your crew image, I assumed that that was the number of people online, but honestly who knows. Why do we have to figure this shit out for ourselves? It's mind boggling that they couldn't write a manual for us.

Cloud Servers are down again... I hope I get my character back. Level 22 with a 230 000 $ Appartment and a 100 000 $ car...
And their patch makes the online experience even worse:
-No 9000$ mission, the highest I got was 5000$
-No replay
Seriously Rockstar, what the f***? Is that your excuse for the f***** up online mode? Is that how you treat your customers?
One of the worst starts for multiplayer + nerfing the money you get for missions so you buy it with real money...without even fixing the issues with their cloud servers...

As soon as BAWSAQ goes back up I'm investing all my cash in a safe, low return stock where Obamacare can't touch it.

I can't tell and I can't even join anyways. I'm so fucking done with this game. Why bother making crews when you can't even play with them? Why the fuck do they give us the option of having crews when it's impossible to play with them?

What is it about higher levels that makes things better? Outside of just having more money?
Or is it just "it gets better when you have a lot more money"?

There's some real bullshit in this game. So some fucker is constantly trying to run me over. He's coming at me again and I throw a stick on the ground and detonate it while he's over it. The game charges me for the insurance because it was his personal vehicle and calls me a bad sport.

Its just fucking mind boggling how fucking incompetent rockstar is. How fucking incompetent are they that they can't properly program the fucking online? I don't undrstand whose hair brained idea it was to make the online so hard to figure out.
I lost mines. Hoping it will come back i was lvl 10 and had about 40k dollars. I don't think i can replay through that tutorial again.

I finished the intro race and after that nothing happens. I rejoin and my character doesn't show up at all while I hear other people talk.

Welp, lost a level and like 5 thousand bucks.

Welp folks, that's the power of the cloud!
That's basically it. People are mad about dying and losing like 2 grand, but it's not such a big deal once you're doing the higher level missions for more money.
The missions are way better at higher levels as well. Less "go here, kill these people"
That being said, I do wish there was a free mode for people who dont want to lose money when messing around.
This is the thing that bothers me the most about GTAO. Like, if some guy is messing with me, I'm gonna shoot the shit out of his car, don't call me a bad sport...
Though I'm pretty sure that it has a very low effect on total good sport/bad sport
No, it shouldn't have happened that quickly. You, my friend, seem to have suffered from a bug.
