Has there been any information on what time Online will be up on Tuesday?

How can GTA Online not feel like a ghost town when there are only 16 players allowed at the same time?

My condolences.
I enjoy the helicopter. If GAF Street ever needs a pilot in their lobby hit me up

I noticed that a few days ago. I went to the friends tab and saw my friends characters and progression.for the first time. But never got alerts though from them gaming yet..
Same. I love flying.

I just put in a request to join GAF Street on Social Club.
Guys I wanna play this sooo bad.
Hype is almost as big as for GTAV itself. I just want more combat. I actually really like the shooting in GTA V, and I'm looking forward to putting it to the test in more ways than in the single player. I feel like the singe player didnt give it much time to shine and for us to really get used to it. Missions like "Hood Safari" (my favorite mission) were few and far between.

This is pretty cool. So I'm assuming once you select the fourth character from the wheel, you're free to roam the city by yourself and have others join you as you play if you wish. I was curious if the game would put you into a lobby before starting GTA Online and force a minimum number of players before you could start.
Pretty sure I read you can't steal player's cars, they will be locked to other players. I think you can blow up someones car and they can put a bounty on you. They talked about this in an interview but can't remember where it is.

Have they mentioned whether you can change your character's base appearance (e.g. gender, race) whenever you want?

I imagine it'll be like RDR. No lobby, just free roam.

Any idea what time this launches on Tuesday?

Anyone's guess really. I know I'm hoping for a midnight couple of KB download but I'm not sure if that will work out in reality.
Yeah it's weird that it comes out in like 2 days but they haven't actually said what time.
Indeed, that ruined RDR's MP for me. Hopefully there will be a hardcore mode that has freeaim.
You could a free aim only mode in RDR.

The fact that this game is almost two weeks old and I'm still losing cars in my garage doesn't bode well for the online imo.

They haven't patched it yet so what do you expect, lol?

So will this be unlocked at Tuesday midnight pst or est? Might have to pull an all nighter if so.

Is this confirmed? Is it lock-on/auto-aim? I figured GTA would have learned from the horrible mistake of GTAIV and RDR..
I hope it's not.. It'll kill all the fun.

is there any plan to increase the player count down the road? I just don't see 16 people being enough to achieve what they seem to be going for. You can't do role player server with 16 people

GTAIV, RDR and Max Payne all had lock-on as the normal/default mode. This will almost certainly do the same.
Even if lock-on was the alternative mode with free-aim as the default, they'd still be splitting the player-base in a game with multiple game modes and game types.
Reliably doing more than 16 people would require dedicated servers instead of peer-to-peer setups...so not likely, no.
It can't be peer-to-peer. It has to be dedicated as it is. Character saves are server-side like Diablo 3 right? The limit seems to be a technical limitation of the consoles.
I imagine character stuff is saved on dedicated servers, but the actual multiplayer running on dedicated servers is pretty doubtful, I'm afraid.

My point exactly. They still haven't patched it.
No idea, I just assumed most stuff was client-side, the multiplayer side of things never seems to be overly secure with Rockstar's games. I remember how fast cheaters showed up on the PC version of Max Payne 3. :/
Yeah but they seem to going after something different this time. There's character creation, missions, some loose storyline, reputation and money which is persistent, etc.
