I'm deathpill00. God damn AI traffic is fucked in GTA online, the seems to be prioritized to get in your path and ram you if you're in oncoming traffic. Top Fun was awesome, I was surprised by how many in air collisions happened.

I'm also the leader of GAF Street. With the amount of players for GAF and GTA V in general I or anyone else might need to make another GAF crew.

Ah ok, I'm SeeDeeKee.

Few opinions regarding GTA Online.

1) Game is WAY too protective over user's property. If I can freely destroy and steal a random NPC's car, why can I not do that to another players car? I hate how I'm not able to enters someone car after I killed them because it's "their" car. Who cars if I take it for a joyride and destroy it? They can easily get it back anyways, thanks to the insurance.

2) Players never drop money when murdered. It's so frustrating killing a guy and having him drop nothing after a long chase.

3) You lose too much money from dying. $2000 for a death? :(

That's only if they have changed the setting to prohibit other people from driving their car. If you leave it at default I'm pretty sure anyone can drive it.

2) Players never drop money when murdered. It's so frustrating killing a guy and having him drop nothing after a long chase.

Yeah, they only drop $100 if they have under $5000 in their pocket. If they have more than $5000, they drop everything over $5000. But since everyone seems to be depositing money regularly, it's basically never worth it to kill other players.
 
Finally in a great Violent Duct replay rotation full of GAF, good times.

Word, I'm with you. I keep throwing grenades. This is going like clockwork. Up until that last one. We kinda fouled that up, a little.

If anyone wants to join a GAF crew, there's still one with room. NeoGAF The Third.

Yup rockstar made being a greifer a rough lifestyle choice. Try blocking store doors with cars or killing people after playing missions, or after they sell a car to pay and spray.

I love the "I want to be brought back to life for free" mentality.

That $2000 pricetag along with the meager $100 will make smart folks think twice before hunting down people.
 
Whens it get "fun"?

I'm only at level 8 but everything I've been able to do so far is a bit boring.

TDM/DM/LTS arent very fun so far, everyone's on top of each other spawning, doesn't seem to be a way to be off the map as a dot on LTS, and its very clunky.

Not a fan of racing in general so that eliminates that option..

I wanna do big co-op heist jobs and cool shit :(

Yeah the game caters to whiny babies. They let you play solo or invite only so stuff like Passive Mode is unnecessary. Feels like R* never hired multiplayer specialists.

I just stick to co-op missions. Some are cool and some are boring.

My car got stolen some how...

I went into a store and a guy got in and drove off in it.

I went and did a mission tho, and it reappeared.

I watched my car icon drive off tho...I thought I was fucked. It also got impounded during the start of a mission some how..

Anyone have a star for wheels or resprays that won't go away? I went through wheels and all the colors multiple times but don't see what's new. :E

Had an awesome time fighting over one of the Simeon car requests. Basically chased this person through Rockford Hills till they crashed into a sign. I went up and blasted them, then had to deal with a few attacks till I made the delivery. So much fun.

You set who can enter your vehicle in the select menu

Spent all day running a long playlist. Logged back in just now. All $30,000 I made is gone. It rolled back to my guy from 2 levels ago. Wow.
 
So apparently blowing up another players personal vehicle is not "Good Sportmanship"

He attacked me first! That's why I blew up his car...with him in it.
 
Qwell, I'm sorry I blew up your ride :( I was aiming for the fence.
Protip for people doing Violent Duct: have one team attack from the front, one from the East.

The google doc for NeoGAF the Third is here (quote this post).

That fucking sucks. On what system?

360. What a waste. It's been happening all day. There's no way for me to reliably "save" online.

Made a quick $2000 to see if it would happen again. Switched to Single Player to ensure a save occurred. Rebooted the game and now I rolled back again. Can't trust the game anymore to save for me.
 
So finally bought my first apartment. It's the 150K one near the pier in the bottom left. 6 car garage and hopefully once I reach level 25 boats will start appearing.


I don't think I'll ever need more than the 6 car garage.

Hell yeah those are a blast. I did one where just want any of certain types of cars. The next car I stole happened to be one. I started driving to the drop off point and I noticed another driver one his way there, i'm rightfully skidish around random players, I slowed down and watched him run off I parked it and left with no trouble...

It was just really cool seeing different people doing the same jobs independently. I like that aspect the most about free roam, different people robbing stores, stealing cars, inpromptu races will be cool once people start taking it seriously. I definitely want more free roam options like that in the future

Los Santos Customs, put a tracker on it so that it's yours. Then insure it. If it's a nice car, it might be too hot (have to buy those cars off the website)

thank you.

So if I wanted to join you and the others doing the duct mission, I have to add someone or just join the crew? I assumed you guys were in the neogaf group I'm in, but didn't see 'Quell' listed.

That was the most intense 30 minutes ever.

Bounty on my head
2 dudes chasing me for about 5 minutes in cars
bailed and narrowly escaped in a heli (they tried to ram me but drove under tail)
They chase me around the entire map, though downtown in a flippin plane

they finally catch up, right before they ram me i tilt foreword and my heli actually TAKES OUT the plane. DOUBLE KILL.

got the achievement :3

While I've been procrastinating listing the game for auction I've been firing it up now and again hoping my issues disappear and I've just chanced upon the problem;

DO NOT enable Free Aim or you'll be playing in a vacuum

Rockstar happily decided to fuck everyone over by badgering everyone into playing aimbots. Free Aim games will be empty, I've been playing with maybe 3-4 people at best most of the time for days on end. Changed back to aim assist just now and I just got 2 full 16 player games in a row. It also seems to be bugged for Free Aim lobbies as barely anyone given any invite seem to be able to actually join the lobby. People need to know this.
 
The GAF crew jerking it while somebody was sleeping. My sides hurt so much right now. Good time tonight gentlemen. I added some of you and I know I missed a bunch, but hopefully we'll all play again soon. Shit was way too fun. Night GAF!

Ive been playing free aim since the beginning and havent had any issues finding full lobbys.

Or they did and that is why it seems they made it difficult for those that would be griefers. Good job I say. The last thing Rockstar wants is the bulk of their player base having a horrible time. They'll stop playing and that snowballs. Then there is no one to buy anything. Give to much freedom and certain people will act like jerks and that will drive people away.

Its grand theft auto, you shouldn't be heavily penalized for being a criminal.
 
Lol, someone put a 9k bounty on me while I was in my apartment.
-kicks feet up and watches TV

Edit: there's a huge gun battle going on my CCTV lol they really want that money
 
Just got done playing with Spine-Ripper and ViciousDS and a couple other guys, we had a great time. We decided to have a little photo op in Vicious's apt.
