Jesus christ racers in this game are dicks. If you get ahead of people they crash into you out of spite. Really fucking childish.

Sounds about right. It'd be cool if you could get an RP bonus for clean overtakes or something.

What's the best way to fight back? Seems like I'm always the one that gets spun out and left in the dust, even if I try to make the first move.

 

[eival]

Has anyone found a Cargobob after the latest title update? All I've found are Buzzards, Annihilators, Froggers, and Mavericks. I miss airlifting tanks out of Fort Zancudo.

this is the Online thread so im assuming you're refering to GTAO, where did you find Buzzards and Annihilators?

the buzzards are replaced with the standard chopper in the NOOSE building online.

i never remember finding an Annihilator even in singleplayer, the Jet is the only thing so far that actually shoots ive found.

the Cargobob is there too but you'll be blown up before even getting off the ground

Just logged in and my two personal vehicles are gone from my garage and my chick is wearing a different skirt. Huh.

And I still can't buy helmets...

It was an accident. Both times.

Pure gold.

 

[Lemon Crest]

I took a GFST member into my garage to escape the cops and they killed themselves.

RIP In Peace stefmi (?), I think that was his name.

Yeah my broad's yellow skirt turned into hideous yellow jeans. That will be fixed this evening

Oh Gosh!!! The Titan cargo plane is too fun on GTA Online. The stuff can do with it is amazing

Brilliant. Especially loved that motorbike one, everybody just going for each other from the start.

Is it normal to only have Join Mission available as an option in Jobs?

Thats GTA to me, wouldn't want anything different.

 

[ViciousDS]

Yeah I think I'm starting over again my dude is gone and the Rockstar social pages shows nothing usually if there's something there then I wouldn't be too worried but now that is gone its not bringing my card back yet I can make a new one he'll still be there at the game and load perfectly fine

new character is in slot 2

If the past few days are any indicator it'll be up tonight and go back down tomorrow morning g.

Let's put this another way. Anyone able to get on and play today without problems?

 

[Metalmurphy]

Yes, until I lost my character. So no.

 

[Hystzen]

80% of time it just people being childish they losing

Many times had rammers who then spin themselves at same out making the ram pointless. Heck there is even a GTA option for races where can play dirty , just take the overtake like a man and jetstream your way back.

 

[Tunesmith]

Me, played for several hours earlier today without a hitch.

 

[Arcteryx]

For some reason my lowbie shows up fine on the Social Club, but my high level just shows a blank icon(stats/money/etc are correct though and it works in-game).

 

[Bunta]

Was down earlier today but I've been on about an hour with no problems on PS3.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

I may need to join a GAF crew so we can coordinate 15-player brawls in a cargo plane periodically doing Aileron rolls high above the city.

Can team deathmatches accommodate 18 players?

Everything in moderation, but half the fun of GTA is being an asshole and dealing with assholes in return + the hilarious physics engine.

If you're expecting some gentleman's sports club racing league deal you're in the wrong game.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

How do you get planes and helicopters? Is it a level thing? I can't find any anywhere :/

 

[Tevious]

Has anyone got their character back in the last few hours? There's been about 10+ pages since I last posted.

When your rank is high enough, you will see them appear in certain locations.

 

[breakfuss]

Hopefully things get better next week, as the free gold promotion is over and there is less people online during the work week.

= haha, now that the peasantry has seen its way out...

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Go to NOOSE headquarters. Always a chopper on theroof .

That sounds like possibly the funniest thing ever.

Still nothing here. I think we're borked, man.

I've had some surprisingly fair racing, and as mentioned before, the ones who race dirty typically find themselves at the back of the pack anyway. Could be dumb luck, but so far my racing experiences have been nothing but good fun.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Anyone doing jobs right now? I really want cash for an apartment.

 

[jacobs34]

Wasn't trying to be a dick. Just saying there won't be as many people playing.

Hmmm okay. I'll have to try that out.

I hit up Trevor's airfield (the airfield in the desert in the center of the map) for both.

 

[UrbanRats]

Me.
Only very minor bugs and lag.

Only played about 7 hours (total) though.

 

[eival]

so is there no way to get out of the military base on land?

it seems like the fences are always locked, unlike in singleplayer where they would open, i managed to hijack a tank and get all the way to the exit but couldnt get past the gate.

seems really weird to go to the trouble of putting this base in the game and essentially make none of it accessible other than the fighter jets

 

[anddo0]

"Unable to load character 1, Rockstar cloud servers are unavailable"

did I just lose everything?

 

[AlmostMilk]

Feel like I am the only person in the world right now who still can't play this.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Yeah, at this point that stuff is just funny. When I first started playing I was playing to be nice. But pretty much no one else was, so now I've just become a big asshole. But of course I don't blow up anyone's car, because how dare I.

Another Gaffer mentioned using a Cargobob to airlift the tanks out. Seems understandable considering the havoc a player could cause to other players with a tank. Risk vs Reward and all that.

If the cloud is down, no; If the cloud is up, maybe.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

might have lost my character too. Tried to join up on Bob's mission, and it said "had to have a character who's done the tutorial.

My "first" character is there, but the 2nd one, the one I had been using, is gone.

The one you were using last night is gone?

 

[Dongs Macabre]

When do I unlock the Violent Duct mission? Anyone doing it right now?

 

[ViciousDS]

me to my apartment, money and character is adios...... good thing we have pictures to relive memories of last night.

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

Soooo... how can I have fun in GTA V Online?

I'm not talking about making money, not about grinding missions, not about joining crews or scheduling games.
But just get in & have fun? Like get ina ajet & wreck havoc in TDM in a 16 player match?

I been playing for a few days & everything has come off bad & I loved GTA IV online.

 

[Popparoks]

My friend got the punishment for being a Bad Sport, and he has to wear a

Spoiler

DUNCE HAT

for the period of the punishment, lmao

and i can't join his games.

 

[AnotherNils]

I realize this has probably already been said a million time before in the thread but…

…I jacked a Banshee and went to secure it and LS Customs and they tell me it's too hot and to purchase one online.

I can't keep the car I stole. On Grand Theft Auto Online. Fucking amazing.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Level 15 I think?

Such a bizarrely easy mission.

I don't think you can house them in personal garages either.

 

[breakfuss]

Well, looks like it just happened to me. My first time logging on since last night. My character is gone (both on social club and in-game). I'm on PS3 in U.S., btw. Hoping it's just the "cloud". Trying to stomach the pain by playing single player and it isn't helping, lol.
