Man, that sucks. We saw you became a bad sport when we retried the mission. Rockstar really needs to fix or get rid of the bad sports system.. Guess we'll play again on Sunday.
No. My last session, there were guys on bikes pulling in and out of pay and spray all over the place.
What?
When I was trying to deliver a car to Simeon the other day, I got swarmed by three assholes who all had one of these!

They appear as a little white truck icon on the map.
I don't see it in the Social Club stats. There hasn't been a patch this week yet either.
The little bird is wrong, I am online now and there is no extra cash in my account.
It hasn't been done yet.
Rockstar want to make sure the disappearing cash / character glitch has completely gone first.
That's pretty cool actually - thanks.
I'm having an internal debate whether to glitch or not. With all of the car dupes going around and the millions of people glitching, R* still doesn't seem to give a shit. Maybe I'll do ten million and that should set me up for a while.
There's a dumb little feature called "Catch Up" which basically slows down the leader automatically and once they are close, slipstream to shoot past you. I don't participate in any races where the host has that turned on.
The problem is that it's turned on by default and no one ever switches it off.
I also never see any Sports Classics races
Surprisingly it's 50/50 for me.

Crew member became a bad sport today. While doing a mission I told him that his info said he was a "dodgy player" so i was, you should stop blowing up peoples cars.
First thing he does when back in free roam is blow up my car for the lulz after I get out of the los san customs. Tagged with that bad sport hat. Laughed at him for a good 10 minutes.

Sounds like you are lagging at your end as you think you are in front but when server syncs you are in the real place you should be ... ie, second.
Definitely a connection issue at your end. Do you have a good connection usually?
The Catch up feature lets people be faster than you if you are leading but you would see them drive by, not suddenly jump into first.

Curious to why it is "dumb"?
Winning races in GTA has little to do with raw driving skill and a whole lot to do with luck of the draw (particularly with traffic on) and staying out of trouble so I personally think catch-up makes races way more fun. Everyone has a chance and there is always a good size pack. Close racing is fun racing surely?
It also significantly reduces the advantage of custom cars, leveling the playing field so it doesn't matter if you are a level 5 using a preset vehicle, a level 60 with no cash for a supercar or a level 100 rolling in dough driving a chrome fully upgraded Adder/Entity.
Maybe I'm just more interested in the fun than the win? I don't know...
...Yesterday I was playing with a random level 6 who had plainly not played many (if any) of the races and so didn't know any of the tracks. Because of this inexperience he/she would fall off the track at regular occurrences where there were tight turns near a steep drop (for example in the bike race in the quarry). Rather than have an inevitable win but a dull race with a massive gap I preferred to stop and wait for him to catch up and have a proper race even if it cost me a win or two.
Yeah, OK OK, I'm just soft. *embarrassed face*.
It's dumb when I survive all of the chaos and mayhem to gain the lead and only have my speed cut in half and get passed by 4 cars near the finish line. Also, I don't like playing with custom vehicles turned on - so everyone is equal. Yes, I think you're a little soft
We all suck at the beginning but then get better by losing and learning from our mistakes/other's mistake.

Got to level 100 a little earlier. Shame that races are now pretty much only Down the drain and Criminal Records. Chances are you'll be kicked from the lobby as well. Really fun MP but im hoping they can come up with something to keep it fresh.
I haven't started online yet, still wondering if I have the patience to deal with a certain part of the crowd, I guess they are being called 'bad sports' or dodgy'.
I can easily see how that would turn people off quickly. Then again the entire game fell off a cliff, my 'friends list' had dropped massively from GTA.

Really? I'm in full rooms regularly and mission/race lobbies fill up fast.
Or are you just talking about stuff to do and incentive to keep playing? Because I can definitely see that happening for the higher level folks.

Just rewatched the GTA O trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olEGtoYs_8A
So many things that you just can't do in the game that they showed off, or things that are just very, very unlikely. I watched it and took screen shots of extremely unlikely scenarios that they show off in almost every seen. A few of them are just unlikely because those vehicles seemingly aren't available or in such limited supply that it'd be impossible (the sub + plane + jet skis? a chopper stopping a truck while somebody nabs the cash? A bunch of people riding up a mountain with motorbikes and ATVs? The shootout at the LC Police station w/ Rocket launchers and other weapons?)
Most of these scenes show players working together using various vehicles and situations that you never seen in the game... A chopper blowing up a bunch of police cars to make a getaway? Never. A guy grabbing a rocket launcher from the ground to blow up an enemy chopper? Never. The motorbike off of Mt. Chiliad and pulling your chute? A harrier coming in to blow up the Lost hideout?
These sort of scenarios are pretty much impossible, unless these are missions that I've never seen. More often than not, the missions they showed -- like "Death From Above" -- which shows you parachuting into a base with enemies is nothing like that. Instead, you just storm the front gate and get killed almost immediately. If you could, somehow, parachute in from above you'd be completely killed in a second because the guys have rifles on the ground.
Coupled with the horrible/non-existence matchmaking, GTA O has been a huge case of "over promise, under deliver" so far. That's not even talking about the insane glitchfest that it is right now.
I'll play 1 race that's full from "Random race" and then everybody quits. Doing missions usually means 1 mission that's got a few people in it, then it's empty. There's no match making system and the game suffers so much from it.

I have no idea why, but I'm obsessed with finding a scenario where pulling a big rig to block a street would be useful.Just rewatched the GTA O trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olEGtoYs_8A

That's the only way. Destroying it and not calling Mors will still cause it to take up garage space.

Most of the stuff you've listed there you do on your own accord. Want to parachute into the mansion in Death From Above? Then do that. Get a chopper and bail out. Want to drive ATVs off a mountain and parachute down? Meet up with friends or talk to people in your session and organise it. Using custom vehicles in races happens all the time if you have a vehicle in the race's selected class. Calling for an air strike during a deathmatch or gang attack is possible if you're a high enough rank, or just steal a jet yourself and cause havoc.
It's like you're expecting these things to just happen, but they won't unless you decide to go and do them. If you want crazy shit to happen like in the above screenshots then do them!
Some of them I admit are will be mission specific like the first picture but a lot of the stuff you've posted will only happen if players want it to.

I don't think that you can get a chopper in Death From Above without driving around the map endlessly looking for a chopper. I suppose maybe you could spend $5k or $10k or whatever it is to call in the Merriweather chopper, steal that, and then jump out... And then die instantly as you're descending defenselessly down to earth and the pinpoint hitmen pick you out of the sky.
Meeting up with friends on the top of the mountain and driving off in ATVs/Dirt Bikes is almost impossible because not enough dirt bikes or ATVs spawn. In 30+ hours, I've seen 1 ATV. That was also described in the video as an "unstructured activity for you to do." There are basically two unstructured activities in the game, gang hideouts and armored car robberies if you're lucky enough to have an armored car spawn (in 30 hours I haven't seen one).
"If you're a high enough rank" is a pretty apt description for the video. The intro video should pretty much all say "Rank 50+ required" for most of those actions.
I don't think it's possible to steal a jet during a deathmatch.
I've also never played a death match that had any interesting weapons, like the rocket launcher, grenade launcher, etc. They all seemingly have a machine pistol and a sawed off shotgun, so it's a battle of whoever is the highest rank wins (as long as you're rank ~25 and have access to the assault rifle).
And if you're playing the game as Rockstar intended it, ie, not grinding, not doing glitches to get $100,000 car sales, not playing the same race over and over again, then you will not have enough money to carelessly call in a chopper or an air strike.
GTA:O suffers from the leveling structure immensely. I don't know why they would block so much stuff you can do at any level below 50. It's a good example of what not to do when deciding what levels should unlock.
Either that or they went hugely overboard on things you can't do for x many levels.

Thanks for the response E92 M3.
But what about the guy who didn't survive the inevitable first corner carnage?
In a serious racer, sure, catch-up sucks. It's a crutch for those who don't want to learn technique however in sim-esque games the more complex physics make skill and practice a more significant factor so there is a genuine reward for learning to be faster.
GTA on the other hand is pretty much point and press racing with some avoidance thrown in for good measure. I can't see many of us ever spending time in GTA adjusting our optimal entry speed and line to account for the next bend vs straight or trail braking to bring the weight to the front and maximise traction to the front wheel! Let's be honest, we'll all be far more likely to be attempting to avoid random traffic or wondering why that crashed Adder is careering towards us at immense speed on its side!
But then no one can run their bright orange E92 GTS replica-alikes. Spoil sport.
My softness is undeniable...
... but your assumption about learning/progression in gaming is perhaps only true with carefully tiered matchmaking that accounts for skill level or for the occasional player with the requisite level or humility and patience to deal with the "it's not really much fun when you're ALWAYS losing" feeling.
With the free-for-all matchmaking system in GTA:O where the only ranking is based on how much you have played and no granular lobby search system you're far more likely to see new users sucking at the beginning, being beaten constantly, assuming the learning curve is too steep and then simply no longer bothering to play.
Anyway, thanks again for the response.
Thank you sir.
Wankers... alas, there be many.
For what it's worth, unstructured activity means one that you and your friends make up yourselves which is not facilitated directly by a game based scenario e.g. saying to your mate online, "go get a Sanchez from your garage [it only costs 7k!]. I'll do the same, meet you at the base of the chilliad and we'll go raise hell".

Last night I chased a random driver around with my Buzzard, shooting missiles all around him on a chase that lasted 10 minutes, was full of exploding cop cars and ended with me crashing in a ball of flame. I bet that was his most epic GTAO session ever.
GTAO is a fun as the people you're playing with a lot of the time.
also wrt half empty lobbies, my favourite races by far are the sessions where you have 3 or 4 randoms playing together for loads of races. It gets nicely personal, isn't too hectic and everyone makes good money. I bet a 16 player race is a clusterfuck.
I've had mostly good luck in finding peeps for missions and survivals as well.

Since the death penalty is down I've been immersing myself more and more into free roam (also helped I've unlocked much better weapons).
My pet peeve is people who ambush people at LSC. I don't care if you hide in your house with a bounty, but camping people trying to sell or customize their car is shit.
So as I'm leaving LSC a guy flies in on a bike. I duck behind a wall but he drives in. Ok, safe. I contnue on my way and another car comes flying in with two players. I circle around to the roof to survey whats happening. Bike guy exits LSC and is instantly murdered. Then both guys proceed to exit the vehicle, with one standing guard as the other starts pouring gasoline over the bike. You can see where this is going.
As the second guy gets into a firefight with the victim, the first guy jumps in his car and starts burning out and driving around the bike until the gasoline ignites. Meanwhile, I murder his buddy as the bike explodes, likely fucking over the victim. Guy 1 leaves and I jump in my car to pursue. Guy 2 respawns and I move to flatten him but he buries me with a shotgun blast form an impressive distance.
On the respawn screen I think I see them doing the Jerry Can dance on my car (I keep forgetting to mash A because why the fuck would I do that?). I respawn and my car appears to be on fire. I murder both and the flames die down. I grab my car and get the hell out of there.
I run home, drop it off in the garage, and grab a bicycle. Head back find some decent spot and start picking them off as another guy (the original victim I bet) is also at war with them.
From here I grab some height on them and between me and the cops, their day is difficult, Twice they try to climb to my position but its futile. Finally I see one guy drive away.
He returns with a tank.
What a pussy. He starts trying to shell me but my tactical position on the roofs pay off big time. 10 minutes of him roaming around and fighting off the police ends with a failed mugger sent by me and one kill by him. Respawned back on the ground, I decide to call it a day, k/d strongly in my favor.
What dicks.

So many things that you just can't do in the game that they showed off, or things that are just very, very unlikely. I watched it and took screen shots of extremely unlikely scenarios that they show off in almost every seen. A few of them are just unlikely because those vehicles seemingly aren't available or in such limited supply that it'd be impossible (the sub + plane + jet skis? a chopper stopping a truck while somebody nabs the cash? A bunch of people riding up a mountain with motorbikes and ATVs? The shootout at the LC Police station w/ Rocket launchers and other weapons?)
Most of these scenes show players working together using various vehicles and situations that you never seen in the game... A chopper blowing up a bunch of police cars to make a getaway? Never. A guy grabbing a rocket launcher from the ground to blow up an enemy chopper? Never. The motorbike off of Mt. Chiliad and pulling your chute? A harrier coming in to blow up the Lost hideout?
These sort of scenarios are pretty much impossible, unless these are missions that I've never seen. More often than not, the missions they showed -- like "Death From Above" -- which shows you parachuting into a base with enemies is nothing like that. Instead, you just storm the front gate and get killed almost immediately. If you could, somehow, parachute in from above you'd be completely killed in a second because the guys have rifles on the ground.

It's examples of stuff that you can do with a group of friends, not randoms (excluding the upcoming Heists, which I wouldn't be surprised contains that police blockade getaway in it). A few of those shots are from actual missions in the game as it is right now too.

Random glitch last night. Before last nightI have only had an armored car show up once before and it didn't even drop any cash. So just messing around and I end up teaming up with some random and chase some dudes who have a bounty on them. The other two dudes end up leaving and my new friend and I see an armored car. We hit it and then another one appears. We hit that one and another one spawned near us. This kept happening over and over again and they would always spawn close to us. We just flew around in a chopper hitting a truck, loose the cops, then repeat. Best part was we had the lobby all to ourselves. Made about $80,000.
This is usually the case for me. I made 100k in an hour or so a few nights ago chasing armored trucks.
