This is the unholy son of Misty and Claude. He spent all his money on cars and guns and so he lives in his free garage.

Where's the free garage?

Was online with 2 friends when one of them dropped from the game.. his character stayed in our game hiding behind a car. He could not get back online and here is the kicker. His 98% single player save will not load now either. So his single player game starts over.. and he still today can not log onto the online portion. He said after playing nearly 100 hours he is just done with it, so upset. This happened last night post patch.

So backup your saves people...

If this game has done anything for me it's appreciate the automatic save backup on PS+. Never really paid any attention to it before this game.

They really need to implement a 10-30s protection upon leaving LSC. Everyone seems to be camping it now to steal the money from players selling cars.

Free garage?

Im guessing that's a CE bonus?

Out of interest, if you own an apartment with a garage attached, can you also own a separate garage? A high end garage and apartment could allow you to store potentially 20 cars between them?

I know. I have like, $40K. I don't know how people are getting so rich.


CE only I believe

Yeah, it's a shitty 2 car garage, near the LS Customs in east LS.

It's for joining social club. You will see a two car garage for free on dynasty8 website after joining.
 
Any half-decent support would respond with a prewritten message linking to the latest public statement or at least leave the request open until a solution is found. I don't see the point in employing people just to mark unresolved requests as solved as quickly as possible.

But they do send mass replies / automatic responses. That's what I received after submitting a ticket:

If you're refering to their support forums, it's common practice to close dupes. There is no sense in answering the same question 50.000 times.

The social club claimed that by joining you would get a free garage... but it lied.

So is body armor supposed to stay on the character even after the effect wears off? It's a bit of an eye sore, but I haven't though too much about it since I'm in combat so frequently.

yeah, you can take it off in your inventory. It's just another cosmetic item.

Level 18 deleted/missing character reporting in. Pretty disappointed if it's actually gone, but I guess it frees me of this whole thing. Thankful I didn't re-up on Live to play, if such is the case.

Here's hoping it's just cloud server issues. The character select screen shows my actual bank balance, so that's slightly disheartening.

It just a cosmetic stuff. Hold select, go to invetory and search for armor - press left or tight on dpad.
I noticed that even if you have the armor bar filled, you can put the cosmetic armor on your avatar away.

ed: beaten and endangered

On top of the Batti RR Stronza and the Elegy, these are my go-to cars:

0_0loll9.jpg

F620
0_0czlx4.jpg

Felon GT

If you're after the most buck for selling a car, the Felon GT variant brings in $9500(normal is $9000).

Took me forever to find the F620 until someone screenshotted a place it spawns at along Vespucci Beach(apparently it does the same in MP too).

So people are still losing their characters? I'm close to 80 and would fuck them up if my character gets deleted.

So what you guys are saying is stay off GTA Online right now? Wanted to get a few jobs done before the NFL games start, but I don't want to lose my lvl 28 character.

Yep. But the section for helmets does not show up for me. The last section under hats for me is "Ear Defenders".

Do you have to reach a certain level to unlock them?

Oh, strange, I don't remember having to unlock them they were just there.
 
It's unfortunate that there isn't a lot to do in the overworld... especially when you're a lower level. For anybody starting the game in lvels 0 - 10, you basically can only rob stores and that gets old pretty fast. I think R* should have tweaked that better so that there are more activities to play at the beginning.

There also aren't enough PvE matches either. My friends and I want to do missions against the computer, not only against other people. And so you might get 1 Simeon mission, but then, it's back to PvP. It's... weird. I was expecting a lot more coop opportunities... And so far, you might get 1 coop opportunity once in a blue moon. Also, what's the del with jobs disappearing? Like, Simeon will invite me to a job and then the net time I go to play it won't be there anymore..

Playing in my first 16 player game right now though ... LTS mode is awesome, this should be pretty sublime. Also I like that just about evrybody is around my rank (9) in this game. There's no rank 20s or 30s coming in and dominating

Drank about 5 bottles of whiskey in my apartment. Then I got kicked for no reason. How many votes do you need to get kicked?

Turned the 360 on this morning only to find my level 44 character is gone along with my 400k apartment. When I logged off last night I only had 15k in the bank... I still have that now but no character.

I haven't started a new one just in case my old one comes back. I'm not too pissed about it tbh, R* said there would be problems... we are basically beta testers right now it seems. I would like this problem to be sorted out before jumping back in though.

Just jumped in a game with a 7k bounty on my head. I bet the three people who came after me didn't see that Merryweather Backup Helicopter coming... :D

Are PS3 servers down AGAIN? I can't get in freemode.

I just spent the last couple hours doing Violent Duct by myself (I did it earlier with some guys). I've also gotten pretty good at it now. I now have 525k plus I spent about 100k in weapon upgrades and ammo at Ammunation. Now I want to buy a nice place. Seems to have saved at least, cause my profile is correct on Social Club website.

Wait wut you can get back up helicopters?
Also on missions?

Pooring one out for the folks that lost their characters..

Seen a lot of talk about replaying missions, not sure how to do it myself.
Can anyone help me out?

After a mission, at the screen where you can select whether you liked it or not, pull the right trigger on the 360 version, and I guess R2 on the PS3. You may have to input whether you liked the map or not first, but either way don't hit A (of X) to Continue.
 
Can't remember what level I unlocked it at. (I'm 23 now)

I can call MERRYWEATHER and for the price of 5k, they send a helicopter to back me up.

At level 50 you unlock airstrikes...!

Now that you mention it, i did saw something about being able to call in a helicopter i just thought that was for an weapon drop :p
Im half way to 24 right now hope to unlock AR this evening but i need to finish a part of an school rapport first before going back into derp mode.
