Yeah, of course. I just don't ever remember having to insure a bicycle (unless you mean motorcycle).

So what you're suggesting is that, rather than streamline car replacement, the suggested action should be "Got killed and your car blown up? Change servers!" despite the fact that Free Roam was intentionally made with the idea and ability for players to fight each other?
If I happen to be killed and my car blown up.. rather than attempt to fight back, I should run away to another server so I can recover my car? Not an acceptable suggestion at all.
Streamline the task of getting your car back and a player can then summon the car while taking cover and fighting back. Then you have the option to kill and run as opposed to just fighting until the attacker gives up or hopping servers in an attempt to get your car back.
Maybe you can't (did mean bicycle) but I was just wondering if buying a garage had any new effects outside of storage.

Yeah, that sucks. I'd just get far enough from my car to request another one. It'd be great if they mechanic drove the previous one home.

Haha, no. Just an Akuma/Gouki reference. I main Akuma on SF. Love him to death. Obsessed with the lore and everything. When I found out there was a motorcycle in the game called the Akuma I was on a mission to get that emblem made.
blitzcloud did an amazing job.
Any sandking. Just fully mod it and throw it in your garage. Then sell the dupes.

You seem awfully excised for what is a rare circumstance in my experience. Of course stick around for the friendly back and forth of free roam violence, but if I'm getting ganked to the extent that my car is getting blown up and I can't get 20 secs to get my car back without being spawnkilled then yes, I will leave the server. But this has not happened to me yet. Usually my car is fine and revenge is sought. Or my car is blown up and I fight on the streets.

I don't know what you mean by awfully excised. I haven't heard that phrase before so I don't catch the meaning.
In any case it doesn't matter how rare it may seem to you or even how rare it might be. The entire loss of character control while using some functions of phone in an online game that has many instances of non-scripted combat is bad. In some ways, it's understandable to an extent (i.e. looking at the map) but the idea that I have to lose control of my character while a phone is dialing all the way through the phone call is just terrible. It's fine for SP but way too restricting in MP.

Yeah, the fact that this can still occur only 4 days ago is a pretty goddamned stellar failure, but I digress.

Ugh! I fucking hate that. How many times have I gotten mowed down while slowly walking and calling my goddamned mechanic or pegasus to spawn a tank?! You know how your character goes into an alert stance when action's happening around them? I wish this applied to when they were on the phone. Goodness. I can't wait for this game to come out of beta.

Sometimes it's worth sticking around for the server to fill up. Otherwise, just keep game-hopping until you find a decent-sized lobby.

The mechanic is a fucking asshole. I kick his ass everytime he delivers my vehicle because he deserves it.

Oh, I had another problem last night where every time I ended a job and we voted on the next job the mission would start up, but suddenly I'd be host and everyone would drop. I'd also return to different lobbies if I quit with a crew.
I won't be surprised if I lost some levels. Though social club says everything is ok.
Also, when it=s that vehicle page going to come back? Curious what it does.

I like getting in quickly and reversing while the door is still open. Dragging that mechanic with me.
So do races give bigger payouts and RP? Or were they nerfed along with everything else? At lvl21 and things have been crawling.
Not making much money doing missions and I'm wasting ammo which is causing me to spend more on ammo. Throw in the fact that it takes forever to drive to a mission and that you are apparently made of paper makes for some boring times.

I do - it's just in general seems to be less people playing. Maybe it's just the hours I play during. Did you get your level back, btw?
Hah, nice. I also "main" the bike in Online races, but Gouken is my man in SF. I should make a clan called "Inverse Old Men" and use his logo/flag...
If I want to play only with my friends or crew members in a lobby, how can we stay together in free roam after completing missions/races etc. together?
Whenever we tire of playing missions, we get back to free roam and we're all split up. I start the session as invite-only, but then have to do it all over again. Help?

I wish there was a way to make lobby like this. Despite all the added stuff and player customization, we no longer have as much control over the lobbies like we did in GTAIV.
It would make it truly free roam. You do a bunch of shit and then you can run into another player at random. Would make for an interesting experience. Blips only appear if you use Lester or if you hear/see someone.

Nope, but I managed to create another PSN account to play under while I wait for the results. No replies, nuffin. Using the LSC trick, too, with no fucks given.
Exactly.
Cops on you; firing an un-silenced weapon; or bounty should be the only time you appear on the map.
Without blips, people would actually be forced to....communicate!
I love racing on my custom bike -- hell I use it in freeroam, even though it's more dangerous. One time managed to start a bike club with some others in the lobby; was fun.
Good man.

Hopefully when this launches on PC it will be much smoother. I wonder how much content will be added before then, and whether or not it will be on PC at launch?

So is there a good way to take down a Buzzard? Is AK47 fire enough? Should I try throwing stickies?
In this lobby I was in last night, there were two guys running around griefing everyone. I jumped in to try and stop them at one point, which put me as public enemy no. 1. One of them got in a Buzzard, and after a prolonged chase, blew up my precious Schafter. Didn't think I really had a chance to stop him.

Mini-gun OR Grenade launcher are the best ways to take down any heli.
They're gonna need to become decently stable in order to shoot at you accurately.At which point you can AK them out.
But if he has a co-pilot then you're screwed.

Ugh. So lower level folks are kinda screwed, huh? I'm at 35. It's a long way to get just the grenade launcher.
How is it a bad sport shooting a car in self defense? Don't want to pay 12k? Don't try to drive me over. The whole bad sport/car insurance thing is horrendous design.

At level 17 now. Ron texts me asking that if I come across any illegal goods, that TP Industries is interested. What does this mean?
Also, there's no new to selling high-end vehicles, is there?

Got back my old Coquette and Bati when I moved back to a 10 car garage. Surprised with all the save issues it had remembered I still owned those. Super weird that it doesn't tell you this when you switch to a smaller property though. Thought they were gone forever and I got nothing in return for them.
I mean, I guess you can't complain about people griefing when the game's basically designed to encourage and reward it. Doesn't prevent it from being annoying though. Let me do my thing you assholes. Which is currently to make loads of money by selling my Baller over and over because that other glitch won't work for me. Had to move since people sometimes camp the more popular LSC's. As more people get the idea of moving they'll start camping this one too.
I did that once too. The guy deserved it. One of the aforementioned LSC campers. Getting killed isn't much of a setback though if they have too much, or no, money. Unless it happens, like, constantly. Just 15 seconds then they're back at it. Still, fun to spectate these hunts every once in a while I suppose. Like watching The Running Man.
Got a great chase when I set a bounty on a guy camping outside my apartment. Guy in a Buzzard showed up as they guy fleed in panic in his stupid little Blista.
Heli chase cam is awesome.
You also might need to jump up on something and enable passive mode to prevent getting killed again while fumbling around with the phone. Also, if the mechanic brings your car, what's to stop people from blowing it up again? So you have to get back to your property. or just give up and quit to a different session that's hopefully less bad.
Getting punished or hassled at all for someone blowing you up is dumb. Should be the other way around. But as mentioned, public games are designed for griefing.
I used to just punch him, but apparently he doesn't learn from that.
I kind of like that he's an unreliable shithead though, gives him personality.

When on like the fourth call he finally delivered the damn car I chased the fucker across Sandy Shores, knocked him to the ground, kicked him to sleep and set him on fire.

I wondered if that meant I could deliver goods for Gerald to Trevor instead but if thats the case, it doesn't show as an option during missions.

I don't mind the griefing when it comes from a player I can beat up easily. It helps give me a justification to grief back. But when it comes from high level players with tons of unlocks, that sucks.
Regarding the LSCs, the Alta street apartment is a great one to own, since it sits in the middle of the 3 LSCs in downtown Los Santos. If anyone is near one of them, I head to a different LSC. The ones to the North and the East seem the most heavily trafficked. The one in the Southwest is usually a ghost town.
Another nice plug for the Alta street apartment is the location of the garage entrance. It's down a ramp with two walls on either side of it, so it's secluded enough that you can usually lose the police line of sight while driving down the ramp, unless the police are right on your ass.

I'm back to work next week so I'm happy to have had some me time to finally complete my JDM collection and hit level 50:
I'm hoping for some new mission content /soon/ as I think I have done most of the co-op ones several times now and I'm struggling to find decent races with all the CR/DD grinding lobbies.
BGAF (and indeed others)... anyone fancy a car/plane/boat racing night at some point? Happy to host. I want to do some of the actual races but I'd also be keen to try some free-roam races.
Kind of A-to-B by any route you like (in a particular vehicle type, with/without friendly fire). Vespucci beach to the viewing area at the top of the Chilliad on Quads for example (user created content tools can't come soon enough!!).
