What's the best way to make money quick? I'm rank 12.
Dude number 3, RIP :*(
I'd been exiting the game correctly via the single player mode but that doesn't save you if it fucks up on their end, and that's the one consistent thing in GTAO so far. Really demoralising stuff. I made him in slot 2 that time as well in the hope dude number 2 would come back but no joy there and that's been over 24 hours so I guess that's a lost cause. I have literally hundreds of gigabytes of disc space you could be keeping a local copy of my character on ffs, it's not too much to expect.

Are you sure its other players?. NPC's also place bounties on you for jacking a car. These will always be from "unknowns"

Share the secret.
I don't know if I should wait a few days, or create my new character now. (I want to play, even after losing my old character)

I honestly don't think I'm going to bother going through the grind again. It's a shame the online had a lot of potential.
Perhaps.
But why bother including something at all if it's going to be as seemingly half-assed as it is now? Saying that it happens to a few other games is no excuse. R* has more than enough money to build an infrastructure that can handle the strain. They also had no reason not to predict what kind of requirements were necessary to support Online at launch.
As it stands, it really does look like this was released later to pad the score. You sure as hell know that every other AAA game would be scathed in reviews for having a major part of its game as broken as it is in this game. And if it really was intended to be "an added bonus", they wouldn't have marketed the mode like they did.

He is probaby talking about one of the 9k mission and just keeps repeating it by pressing R2/RT at the like/dislike screen.

Is there a good way to invite people over. I have this house and 6 car garage now. I want to invite people over and have everyone jump in a car; just pile out of the garage Fast and Furious style.
Yeah, has no influence.

I updated last night and was fearful so I checked my character and was fine, this afternoon I woke up and both characters were gone...but when I created my character I had like $40,000 off the bat.
Today was the most issues I've had since Tuesday. Lost character, when I tried to join friend it said the severs were down then threw me into a public freeroam, lost my insured car, I robbed 3 stores when I restarted I had the money but the checks didn't show, finally markers weren't showing up on the map.
My friend lost his money last night and woke up to find $200,000.

Got my character back. Kept loading up the choose character screen until she showed up.
Servers are all kinds of fucked up right now. Invites aren't even working.

Guys when you don't see your characters, DO NOT MAKE A NEW ONE, or you'll lose them permanently. This just happened to me again. It has to do with cloud servers going down. Dashboard or Go to Home from the character screen and try again. start online from the story "solo session". Hope everybody can see this
Get into races with a lot of people and if you get first it's 5k per race. Also there is the Gerald mission that gives 9k. Another way is selling cars. The SUVs seem to pay the most.

Hahaha boy. GTA online sure was a bomb. Just a terrible boring mode
Thanks. Hope this is true.
I rage quit (a mp race, not the game overall) last night because of this. The person who invited me I sent a message back after the following invite since the race was all his mates. I was pretty wild as I was out driving most of the people in the race and every time I got next to them they rammed into me. Nothing grinds my gears more than dirty racers!
This a website for non-premium cars. Just scroll down.
Should also point out that I think that making a new character in a different slot, will also see your original character wiped. I think they are linked slots.

You just have to know how to deal with it or be more dirty.
Especially if you know they will try to jack you, you can use that against them.
I've really enjoyed it the times I've been on. Might be a case of treat 'em mean keep 'em keen cos of the technical problems though.

It didn't happen to me, I made another character in the adjacent slot and my original returned. With the way things are though I got off lucky, so be wary.

My perspective is a bit different as I've yet to lose a character and and have a level 35 character and I've bee playing since launch. Now I have had connection issues a few times here and there but nothing major. I think a company that's never launched an MMO type game should have a little slack thrown their way. And it's not simply a matter of throwing more servers out there will fix all the problems, I imagine there are many issues for them to figure out.
As far as I know they only showed the one GTA Online preview video, nothing else, so it's not as if they were previewing something and then pulled a slight of hand and gave you something else. Everything I saw in that video I've been able to do with my friends. I don't have cable TV so I don't know if their adverts specifically showed GTA Online as a part of their marketing campaign.
I'm not saying that they should be given a pass all together, but I think a little patience while they get their 15million+ copies sold game smoothed out for Online will save a lot of people from having high blood pressure. The biggest most warranted complaint I've seen is the character deletion. But connection issues and small technical things aren't "Fuck Rockstar and their shitty developers" worthy.
I think losing money when you die is annoying, I wish there was a party system for your crew, I'd like to see/have more clarity on how free aim/auto aim lobbies are organized. But those things will be addressed in the future. I'm sure this game is going to stick around and transfer across console generations. These are just the growing pains that come with all major online games.
Some people are losing their shit for not being able to connect to their friends or not being able to play even though they were on a few hours earlier. It's gonna get better. It may be better for some to just step away from the game and come back in two weeks when a few more patches are pushed through. If you guys want perfect from day 1, next console generation of online gaming is gonna be a rude awakening for a lot of people.
Just saw some smart/dickish players waiting outside LS Customs near Lesters textile factory. They waited for players to drive in sell the car then shoot them soon as come out so they can't deposit the cash using phone.
Sneaked up behind and shot them in head after noticing IGN tags nice 10K as the fools didn't deposit the money they stole straight away.

My character is gone but my play history is still there, hopefully the character is back when I come back at some-point to GTA online.
Is this on the social club website?
Yes

Hahah that's silly and it made me laugh.
It's somewhat ironic considering that GTA V has a pretty hilarious radio commercial about storing data in the cloud.
Oh come on, this isn't a cottage industry. You do realise that they will have hired people specifically for their skills in this area? It's not like they've got round the campfire and decided to 'have a go at this online thing'.
You can't steal anyone's money until you're level 50. The most that they drop is like $100 and then they get charged around $2000 for dying.

Been playing for a few hours. It's fun and it's pretty solid. Was playing with Computers Putin. But I feel like I'm missing out on key features by not using my mic. The 360 has a third USB slot in the back right? If so then I can plug in my Turtle Beach headset in and plug in the USB drive in the back; I'm using a wired 360 controller as well.
just checked on my social club it saying $550 picked up but some reason still got 10K+ in bank and 3 in hand and not done any missions tonight just drove around slowly increasing Driving stat

Sure, I know they didn't just decide to just go with the flow and see what happens. But I imagine that they vastly underestimated how many would be jumping online at the same time. Even with the two week buffer and the Scrooge McDuck amount of money they made since release, I don't think it's as easy as turning on more servers. I imagine it's a lot of coding and optimization.
