Grand Theft Auto: Online |OT| The Stimulation Has Began!

Like Blizzard with D3's rmah selling stuff for money means they can't piss off the customers that paid money. In rockstar's case, people making fast easy money? It might piss off the people that bought 100k cards somehow, or make the cards pointless if you only need to do about 12 fast missions.

I doubt that's their motivation.

More likely, trying to prevent people from going around and killing everyone in the server only to quit before the game saves.

So it's after you created a crew? And can you also edit the other options?

I wanna know if I need to spend 30 minutes making everything right at the first time or if I can just create the crew and edit it later.

Yeah you can create emblems at any time, even if you aren't the creator of the crew. It just adds it as an option at the bottom of the crew screen
 
Finally learned how to use the weapons on the jet. I really gotta remember to close up the wheels when flying one next time >_>

And holy crap at what just happened to me. Decided to steal a car since I left mine at the airport and a few seconds later I get a text from some "unknown" person who said I jacked his ride. This happened in a session that only included me and one other person. It wasn't the other person so I don't who sent the text. The unknown person even put a $9000 bounty on my head! Anyway, I was making my way to an ammo crate and when I arrive at the location, a SUV is sitting there and I'm getting shot at by some unknown assailants and I only had half full-health (just got done with a gang attack). I managed to survive the assault and get the ammo (and some RP). After that, went to another session that had more people and killed someone who had a $1000 bounty on their head. I decided to let that person kill me and get the reward.

And speaking of that gang attack, it took place at the construction site. It was quite the pain in the ass. I'm glad I had grenades with me. Tossed a few of them and luckily for me, I got a 1 star wanted level. Some police did arrive and took care of a few of the enemies that were left. I used a sticky bomb to kill the last guy lol.

All 26 hours. Multiple times.
What is the highest money rewarding mission you guys have encountered.
So far 9k drugs missions are the highest i have seen.

yeah thats what i found too.
theres a mission where you take coke from the lost under a bridge.
You can make 9k every 5 minutes.
 
dude you played a buggy online game you aren't getting anything back...just jump back in when it seems stable (which clearly doesn't seem to have happened yet)

I'd be very surprised if support didn't help him out, he has spent real money at the end of the day. The faults were not his problem.

Yes, launch day problems are to be expexted. My time at the two biggest publishers we have in the industry left no doubt about it. But like Cyborgmatt mentioned, real money in form of micro-transactions is involved and every (major) company I've dealt with takes this very seriously.

NPCs can put a bounty on you.

I was confused for the longest when Rockstar put game like TDM and Last Team Standing under the "missions" category. Like wtf. These aren't missions R*.

Then I figured out the actual missions are received though text messages from NPC's. Smh. May as well change that name to matchmaking because I was going around doing those missions aka team death-matches without feeling I was progressing in multiplayer.

Welcome to the GTA Online experience, where everything is undocumented, and some things just don't make sense. :)

Yep, I was confused at first too. If you're looking for people to do activities with (actual coop missions), you can add me. My friend list is empty so most of the time I'm doing them solo since no one is joining.

The GTA Online experience, where you can't play on the same team as your friends when in matchmaking.

I'm glad you said this because I couldn't figure it out. I am never matched with anyone I'm playing with.

If it worked I bet it would be fun but I don't even bother doing these team "missions" now.
 
It's sad to see that Rockstar honored the single player in favor of the multiplayer. So many features present in the online mode that are absent in the single player mode.

It really is. And doing game modes like CTF or escort the VIP would be a blast with friends, but we never are on the same team. Ever.

Another game mode that looked fun to play is hunters vs runners. My friends got fighter jets and I was partied with randoms on dirt bikes. It really is stupid how they implemented the party system in this game. But yeah, you're better off doing the jobs you receive via text messages from Lamar, Gerald, etc. because those are more akin to missions done in campaign. And you're guaranteed to be doing it alongside your friends.
 
So much stuff isn't explained... but having just spent a few hours playing with my friend I loved every minute of it.

GTA 4 online was amazing. This is just something else.

Was able to get the best apartment last night after grinding Vile Duct for a couple of hours. This weekend's quest will be to buy a decent car. I hope the missions get more interesting as I get closer to rank 30.

Could someone tell me how my friends and I can play on the same team when we're in TDM lobbies? We're always against each other when I send them invites to lobbies.

If the host has team balancing turned off, you can switch teams during the betting phase (the bit where you see everyone lined up). It also helps if you're in a Crew, they normally put you together.

Anyone have a problem with the minimap?

Signed in today and my minimap is permanently stuck in its largest size (can't see health, etc.) and trying to make it smaller doesn't work.

1.02 on PS3.
 
So there is a 10 or 11 year old in my session who sings along to all the Non-Stop Pop FM songs. He seems to like "With every heartbeat" from Robyn...

Its under online options I think, you can maximize the map. Happened to me. Its there somewhere.

Yep, my rank 16 character who I had no problems playing with yesterday post-patch has been deleted (PS3).

Seriously, fuck this.

I loved this sort of shit it cracks me up...

Can I buy fake money with real money yet?

Rockstar probably first wants to erase everyones progress so they are more inclined to buy and lower mission money reward to $20 and hospital bills to $5k :p

After the Title Update are you required to do any of the tutorial?

My problem is i can't get any free insurance or clothes or any of the tutorial stuff and have no clue how to after the update.

Should i even attempt to play? I can't do anything past attempting to get in since the cloud servers are down.

This is frustrating.

So my first rank 14 character got deleted. Made a new one on the second slot in hopes of the first one coming back. Got to rank 16 on that character, woke up hoping its still there... it is YAY. But wait, theres more! Its now rolled back to a rank 11.

Fun game.

After patch played the fabled tutorial, came 4 out of 8 should have been 3rd but 2nd place and I had a car battle that I foolishly spun myself backwards trying to be too agressive.

Then this piece of shit game crapped it's pants again and I stared at a 'tips' screen for 15 minutes until my vacation began and I left the house.

Oh well hope it's working in a week, tutorial wasn't a bad race
