I tried grinding Trash Talk, since I'm only worth half a million, but that gets boring really quickly. Did 4 or 5 and was already done with it.

Once you hit $1M get the office so you can grind Sightseer

I'll grind back to a million, so that I can VIP again, and then go to make money so that I can keep million in the bank.

I could be wrong, but I think after this new update you can be VIP without 1 million, it's just still time limited unlike being a CEO

If you are just a VIP, it still requires the $1 million threshold.

I think part of one of the recent 'discount' promotions was the abolition of the $1M threshold but it was only for a week or something.

I don't do CeO stuff unless I end up in a game by myself . Just people kill you so there's no point

 

[SomePlayaDude]

In CEO news: PC modders are back, and in full swing to destroy your CEO experience.

While I hate this news altogether, #TugLife keeps me swinging.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Anyone online right now grinding VIP stuffs that need an extra pair of hands?

Those lobbies where someone is flying around in a Hydra killing absolutely everyone who moves and as soon as they crash they go passive and go and get another jet and then disable passive and start killing everyone all over again....

Kills everyone
Crash
Passive
Call Pegasus
Jet
Active
Kills everyone
Crash
Passive
Call Pegasus
Jet
Active

And so on and so on.....then you see their K/D ratio is like +35 so you just know that's is all they do online.

It's funny seeing them on last gen too with modders taking them out cause it's kill, crash, kill, modder takes them out, instaquit lobby.

Why can't everyone just mutually band together to stop him? If it's causing such a problem in every lobby, why don't they just camp the Pegasus helipads, or just get to them before the griefer, and destroy the Hydra each time?

I was the jet griefer griefer when I was active.

Because most of the time it happens, the jet griefer isn't alone. The griefer has help from others in the lobby who kill anyone trying to take out the jet (on all gens) or is backed up by a modder (last gen or PC). Very rarely is someone doing that solo anymore, and on off occasions they are, they're usually very good pilots that can easily hold their own against multiple opponents.

I was the jet griefer griefer when I was active.

One of my friends does that too which is funny since he really only does it now when someone is either doing it themselves or is being a complete ass to everyone in a lobby. He also can singlehandedly take on multiple jets at once and only dies when he gets suicide bombed by another jet. The irony there is that I'm usually the guy that winds up doing that to him whenever we get into pvp jet deathmatches.

That's why we need a cool down on Pegasus vehicles . Why the mechanic ? I'm just cruising in my Zentorno and some griefer comes and blows it up and I have to wait 5 minutes before I can call it back in ? I say 10 minute cool down on Pegasus vehicles . Actually give people who don't want to fight a chance .

 

[GT5Power]

I've always found the mechanic cooldown to be a very stupid idea on Rockstar's part, and the lack of a Pegasus cooldown makes it even worse. I would reduce the former to 1 minute if not remove it altogether and impose a 10 minute cooldown on certain Pegasus vehicles (Hydra, Rhino Tank, Insurgent Pickup and the list goes on). Sure, if people were able to call in their Armoured Kuruma / Insurgent PV immediately after they were destroyed it would be an annoyance, but one that pales in comparison to people relentlessly requesting Hydras.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Well I just blew a near $2 million load on buying an Osiris because 🤬 new car buying logic.

Now I'm poor again.

The mechanic cooldown exists as the mechanic has to walk/run back to your garage, he doesn't have max stamina like we do.

Same reason he never parks the car where you are. HE SIMPLY DOESN'T HAVE THE TIME!

He has a jetpack, and he doesnt want you to see it because then you would just keep asking to borrow it, or kill him and take it.

Plot twist, the mechanic has reached the highest level in the Epsilon program and is omnipotent.

I thought there was a cooldown time for Pegasus vehicles?

Nope.

Only in certain Freemode events it does.

 

[Dan]

So, if I call in my Hydra, drop a grenade on it, I can call it again immediately? I could've sworn it was a five minute wait in between deliveries. Maybe less.

It would spawn in on a different helipad and you need to pay $200 for each request. Mechanic is $250 per day for multiple requests.

I know how much each delivery costs, but I thought you needed to wait after calling in one vehicle before making another request.

Nope, I have done so many times after getting blown up straight after getting in the hydra.
