I must be smoking something. Because after the patch it seems to me like I'm only dropping about 100 bucks if I have all of my money in the bank.

How do you sell property?

Well apparently you need "GTA Cash" to call a mugger on someone which is required by one of the achievements so you still need to front some money I guess.

Man, reading through this thread is kinda... Gross now. It's turned from constant (rightful) connection bitching to post after post about farming or money. Y'all are doing a very good job of sounding like GTA progagonists these days. We need more stories about emergent chaos and less about "well I spent 4 hours farming this one fucking mission and now I have an apartment, yay" or "violent ducts pls".

At higher levels you can call and pay merryweather mercs to go after a player character. Pretty awesome. I had them called on me. 2 - 3 waves of them show up in military jeeps. I was able to take them all out and steal the jeep and put it in my garage.
btw, if they aren't able to kill a player, you don't end up losing money.

Screw it, I'm making a new character. Its been over 3 days now and no luck.
I don't understand how anyone can honestly be playing this right now. It's such a gamble. I only lost a level 20 character and feel gutted. That took 20 hours of my life. I enjoyed those hours, and want to jump back in, but I just don't see the point with things being so uncertain.
If I we're in that 30-50 rank range and had my character deleted, there's no way I'd consider coming back. I'd just wait until Rockstar had one of their triple XP weekends or something.

The replay function is still there, you just have to press RT right after a mission instead of hitting continue that will take you back to the gametype select screen. Replay is ONLY disabled for certain missions on the gametype select screen.
We may not always see eye to eye sir, but I 100% agree with you on this.
Its been 3 days for me as well. I told myself yesterday that I would wait one more day, which would be today, and just create a new character. My issue isnt the levels I lost, but I enjoyed the look of my lost character. Hoping I can recall most of the settings to make one very similar.
Still waiting.
I hope that Rockstar says something definitive.
I had a fucking world record.

This just made me think, we'll likely get triple XP weekends, but that's just gonna be for RP points, isn't it? They ain't giving us triple cash weekends, not when they're trying to sell us on those cash cards. That sucks.

I was 27 and mine was deleted, with the best apartment, and every vehicle I wanted (non-sports cars) in the garage with custom paint jobs and all. I really want to play again because it is unbelievably fun, but I don't want to risk my character getting shit on again.

Sunday I think I was one of the first back in the game once the cloud came back... because I did the opening race, and crashed a few times... still won, but got the "World Record" award for my time, despite it being awful. Rockstar Social Club still shows the World Record.
Would like to know that too. That one had my favorite view.
That isn't true, and isn't GTA Cash just in-game money? You just need someone to be level 50 and call Lester to get a mugger on you, then you kill the mugger, that will get you the trophy/achievement.
That sounds so cool.

Thank you.
Seems like nobody wants to really play the game or try it for what it is. Just some get rich quick bullshit.

That's right. Never gone, nor forgotten. Only
hopefully temporally
You can start "impromptu races" with other players in free roam.

Was probably a impromptu race.

Here is a story for you. A friend and I were playing together and going after bounties. We got kind of bored of just attacking bounties straight up. So I grabbed the cargobob heli and my friend got in his tricked out sports car. I picked him up with the wench and we would then wait for a bounty to pop up and then fly after them and track them down. This one person with a bounty took to the highway to try and get away from us. I chased him down until I was able to get right above him. I snapped by friend lose and he landed on the highway perfectly in his car and took chase. He shot out the guys tires causing him to spin out where then my friend delivered the final blow by detonating a sticky bomb he placed on his car while he was slowly trying to escape with no tires. It was amazing watching all this unfold as I was hovering above in the helicopter. We then split the bounty 50/50.

Nope. I am a level 74. I call Lamar to mug someone and it says I need GTA Cash. I have over 3 million in in-game money. I go to the MS store to buy some but the cards are not available.

Its not that people ONLY want a get rich quick thing. People want to play the game, and I think they want to freeroam and do all kinds of crazy stuff. The problem is you are so limited in what you can do at the outset. I've been playing for over 25 hours now and I can't even use any explosive devices yet like a rocket launcher or grenade launcher. Hell I just barely unlocked the assault shotgun.
Not to mention I can't even buy any engine upgrades for my cars because everything is locked behind not just a money gate, but a rank gate as well. I'm reminded of the WoW South Park episode where they farm spiders or whatever until they are max level and then they can "play the game". This is the issue you see in a lot of persistent MMO type games and GTA online is kind of following that formula.
You have people that were playing the story mode and had access to everything, and then they get to the online portion and you get to play with a pistol and a knife for the first 8 hours or whatever... yahoo i guess...
I'm sure they were talking about impromptu races

Wouldn't it be cool if they had some kind of world events on the server which would motivate everybody to go to the same area for a bit? It would be utter chaos, but also really cool to have everybody around to make it feel crowded. Maybe spawn some massive boss enemy...
Everybody is always so spread out and doing their own thing, it's been rare for me to see more than one or two people at a time.

That does not make him an idiot. It makes him somebody making his own fun. I have no idea why people have such a problem with this kind of thing. It's GTA. GTA is about messing around. Doing that in a race is the definition of messing around. I did similar things myself in IV.

What? It told you to wait for someone?

Well that's what it should be!
Those options are awesome and it's hard when only some people have it. Trust me, when we escalate this war, you'll still find ways to kill people.

It has done that for me too. The opening job where you have to rob the store, it once told me to wait for someone.
The person never showed up of course, and the doors were locked on the store so I could not go and do it myself.
I restarted and it said wait again, but once I hit the store that turned off and it allowed me to finish alone.

AH! Thanks!
Stop being so baaaaad.
Robbing is a one person job. You keep all the money that way since the payoff is a meager 1000
And don't turn your head on the clerk until you're outside. They can shoot you occasionally but wont if still threatened.
Haha. Happened to me as well. I wish there was a way to declare "truce" or something and form temp alliances with friendly fire off. Cuz you never know, and have caused me to be ruthless on the line
By the time you realize someone is going to be aggressive towards you, you are dead. In that scenario, I'd have gun drawn with truce option enabled. If he accepts, would drop my gun. If player wants to break it, 10 second warning before it happens so I can prepare
Yes. The game said "You will need 2 people to grab the loot". It then said "wait for (username) to rob the store". When he arrived, he first tried to run over me (missed) and then we got in the store, and he shot me in the face.

I really really enjoy racing in this game. I try not to take it too seriously, it's inevitable that you're going to get knocked out of some races by a maniac, but it's honestly pretty hilarious and makes everything very tense. I love trying to just stay in third until the race is almost done so I can swoop by and win without being murdered by all the psychos.
My only real issue with the rank system is that you need to win races in specific car types to unlock upgrades for those cars. Super annoying, as it can be hard to find a race in the first place, much less a race for the specific class you're looking for.

This has nothing to do with being bad. The 3rd "job" in the online game shouldn't be one where they don't warn you that people will shoot you in the face. It also shouldn't give you instructions to wait for people if you can just do it solo. This is not a case of me being bad, it is bad design, or the bad delivery of information with regards to a mission.

It has a random spawn at the airport. Sometimes it's there, sometimes its another helicopter. On very rare instances there is a buzzard. Now that is perfect for taking out bounties from the air.

Played with someone in GAF Street on 360 yesterday. Their name was King Tut or King Turk (sorry if I messed up your name). Had fun robbing stores and trying to get away. Got to hang out in their apartment too. Wish I had enough money to get one. I've only been able to amass $21K so far.
Also, on the same server, these two guys got a helicopter and decided to chase me around the city. Unfortunately for them, I stole a sports car so I was zipping around. As soon as they got close, I reversed direction and sped away. I'd even hide under overpasses and when they'd get close, drive away in the opposite direction. They eventually lost interest. It was fun.

I wish there was a way to do GTA Race with those powerups but with personal weapons disabled.
I think there's a glitch with Simeon's car delivery mission. I think how it's supposed to work is you get an automatic 2 stars when you get a vehicle he wants. I put a Patriot in my garage to save for when he gave the mission again. I tried using it but it said Simeon doesn't take personal vehicles. That's fine, but every time I take my Patriot out of the garage I get an automatic 2 stars anyway.
