but which settings exactly? just to turn off the multiplayer messages and nothing else. i tried, but failed to understand which ones.
I think it sums up 90% of players experiences this week :L
Does anyone from 360 GAF want to party up and do some random races/missions/free roam? I might try and make a lobby in a sec.
I would, but it appears i'm in a tutorial of sorts..

Liked the game 2 days ago. But since my Lvl 31 character and his 200K was deleted I've decided to not play anymore. Haven't played in hopes my character would come back. Looks as though it is not happening so I won't play anymore. O well, for 30 hours it was a good game. My friends will be dissapointed, but I've got Arkham Origins in a few weeks, PS4 soon after.

I was saving for a new Z-type but I can't resist getting the best apartment.
There goes all the money again.

Oh hell yeah, I just discovered my favorite pass-time!
Either call mercenaries or put a huge bounty on a guy from you apartment then then tuning in to watch them on TV. Another few levels and I'll be able to watch airstrikes on this thing.

Yep.
If my character comes back, then I'll jump back on. But even in the few days that have gone past, people have advanced so far.

How does that work? Does it show you the player's perspective?

GTAO, where I learned the truth about despair, as will you. There's a reason why this multiplayer is the worst hell online... Hope. Every gaffer who has ventured here over the weeks since launch has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy... So simple... And like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have characters have been wiped out by the cloud . I learned here that there can be no true despair without hope. So, as I terrorize GTAO, I will feed its people hope to poison their souls that online will work one day. I will let them believe they can survive so that you can watch them clamoring over each other to "stay in the sun." You can watch me torture an entire city and when you have truly understood the depth of your failure, we will fulfill Leslie Benzies destiny... We will destroy the cloud service and then, when it is done and GtaO is ashes, then you have my permission to play CoD

Are you sure you activated it and didn't deactivate it? When you deactivate it a countdown starts so you can't deactivate to use weapons and reactivate it when you need a shield. People with quick menu use skills would be able to abuse that so good.

When GTAO is running absolutely flawless I recommend a gif when Bruce makes the jump and liberates everyone by throwing rope down. I did give u the initial inspiration
Oh okay that is probably what happened yeah I did try to activate it again by accident fumbling with the menus.

You can see right up into the clouds, and try as you might to climb towards them, you will never reach them. You won't even get close.

I just had an amazing encounter!
I saw someone getting chased on the mini map so I go to assist. The guy getting chased crashes his car and is getting fired at by the chaser. I crash into the chaser sending him spinning out of control and honk for the other guy to get into my car. It felt like The Terminator " Come with me if you want to live". He gets in then I drive him to safety. We part ways and he sends me $500!
I can't wait until the issues with online are fixed because it can be intense.

I don't think this has worked right since servers started getting slammed. Saw a Rockstar rep mention on another forum that it can take a few days for the emblem to show up correctly after you hit publish.

I am really enjoying the game, but yeah there are a bunch of weird things and hiccups, with the game.
I especially hate, how easy it is to beat down your teammates accidentally. Sometimes we wont even be near each other, we will be across the room, and I am firing at a cop, and then warp across the room and beat down my crew member. Or we go into rob a liqour store, ihe game tells you, tofire your gun to intimdate the clerk. Someone tries to fire over the clerk, and about 2 crew members die from unintentional beatdowns.
There either needs to be...
1. just a melee button, (controls would have to be changed). And make the fire gun button only fire your gun.
2. remove melee when close to a crew member.(maybe a quick option in the select menu)
3. make the melee do less damage, as is now, it is 1 hit kill.
I'm level 30 and have yet to see an armored truck. I've done at least 6-7 gang attacks, though.

Circle/B is pistol whip. Don't know why they have the "fire" button contextualized. If I want to melee, I'll melee. If I want to shoot someone, pointblank, let me.

Ahhh! Too many posts!
This would be a great change, it'd give incentive to the person with the bounty on them to actually stay in the session. Also agree on your other post about the amount of money being taken out of for deaths, way too much considering what little we earn, especially for a game that should be encouraging you to try crazy shit.
Bad Sport definately needs work, I got kicked from a session and it flagged ME for being a Bad Sport, WTF? Also Tennis is like the other sports or well Golf, are supposed to increase your strength at least by the rules of the the story mode. However I did a couple sets and my strength didn't move at all.
Oh and yeah, I won a game, the fucker didn't quit but as soon as the game ended they ran up to me and blew me away with their shotgun. >_>
I <3 my .50 Cal Pistol from the SE with its free silencer. Also good at range and headshots. I think it's either equal or a little better than the combat pistol. Having not needed to pay for it in game is also nice. Been wondering if we can drop those weapons and others pick them up.
I think you need to lose SOME money from dying in free roam but that 5% should be capped not to exceed a certain amount, an amount much lower than what it currently is. Would be nice if game could tell who initiated combat that would take care of the getting a bad sport flag for blowing up an attacker's vehicle and perhaps make the penalty greater for attacking someone than the person who was attacked if the attacker ends up getting killed by their target. Say the attacker would lose $1,000 if their attack ends with them being dead while the attacked would lose $500. Maybe increase it the more that attacker goes after the same person over a certain amount of time maybe a 50% increase or just continue to double it. I bet that would make a lot of people think twice about repeatedly killing someone and maybe even go further and allow medical bills to put you into debt if you can't afford to pay it, kind of like real life here in the U.S.!
Oh you know, they could go the easy route for the ridiculous hospital costs and implement health insurance to reduce the cost by 80%. Losing $400 would be a lot better than $2,000.
Nope, maybe it's the $25,000 and maybe you have to buy it and it doesn't cost anything but no idea and I don't want to waste money to try.

I need to start a service.
I bought some cars and ATV's for the crib. I want to pimp out a super car next.
I found a good way to channel my anger. If I lose the race, I call a hit sqaud on the winner. No need to rage quit.
yeah, but also the pistol whip only works when your gun is fully loaded, otherwise, it reloads. I think thy need a dedicated melee button. I think, not sure what happens when you try to reload next to someone. The contextual melee needs to go either way.

Can someone explain garages to me?
I bought a bike, which appeared in my (2 car) garage; I found a car, took it to my garage; I took my bike out for a spin; went back to my garage; got a message saying I had too many vehicles in my garage and what did I want to do; I went in and had the option to replace 'empty' with the bike; I think at that point I was totally confused and backed out; went back outside and my bike was gone; went back into my garage and my bike was gone but my car was there.
Does that make any sense to anyone else? Because it doesn't make any sense to me.
