GTA Online Thread (Useful Links in OP)

[Carbonox]

So I see there have been some GTP crew parties up recently via PSN... Considering that my interest in this game has again been revitalized after a hiatus, if y'all are cool with it, I'm up for accompanying you. Any night except Tuesday and Wednesday suits me at the moment.

 

[Jahgee]

Guess we'll see if putting it into rest mode works for avoiding the hotfixes

 

[Marcus Garvey]

They're doing cashback on Shark Cards again this week which brings me some comfort, but it's money I'd rather not spend.

Yeah they do that periodically. If you find someone 'laundering' PSN cards for 50% it can make sense, but it's still big money relative to the value of game credits. The top card, for example, nets you $12mil for what amounts to nearly a day's pay for an average labourer. That's a day's work for a few cars, or a jet and a yacht, etc. It's rather steep. This is a video game, after all.

Unfortunately, that is the reason glitches like the above are fixed in hours or less, while more significant losses occur daily to players due to unfixed glitches. If the glitches costs R* perceived revenue, it is fixed ASAP. If it costs players money; it is often not fixed at all, because R* knows that only a few folks will open tickets requesting refunds for the lost credits. It's greedy, it's frustrating, and it is the direction in which the industry has moved. I'd rather pay 5 real dollars a car, or similar. After all, a $2mil car with 500k in mods is $40USD. That is without getting into how R* actually charges you by the hour to play the game.....

Yep just tried it. No dupe.

Same, upon calling MMI the destroyed car does not appear at Mors.

Yeah, the cards aren't value for money at all. Earning money in GTA can be fun, but the amount of money you need to buy things just makes it all boring. It's a shame, I do love the game, it's just so difficult to afford anything. Too realistic.

Wish I did the glitch when it worked now. Why was I too scared of getting banned?

Oh well there will be another that pops up.

 

[ViscousTraction]

Just finished duping. Started from $150,000 and am now sitting at $3.3 million. Didn't have the patience to continue.

Crazy to see how fast Rockstar fixes something when it comes to interfering with Shark Card sales, but other actual gameplay problems persist.

 

[Sage Ages]

The one issue with money glitches is that the information spreads like wildfire. You can never expect them to last more than a few hours.

 

[250 GTO]

A productive day at the office. Went from $113 after having bought the clubhouse, mod shop and faggio. To having $28.1M in the bank plus 8 extra sultans in storage each worth $783.144,00

Not to shabby

 

[Jahgee]

Alright moment of truth, can I continue on after putting the PS4 into rest mode while in an invite only session

EDIT: It's showing up on the map, that's a good sign

EDIT 2: The car spawned at MMI, which I think you guys said is what the issue was that they patched

 

[Leadfoot530]

And with that, I am now the poorest player in my group of GTP'ers that I play with.

With that being said, I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that the annual "Save A Leadfoot Foundation" is now accepting donations for the holiday season! Please make all checks payable to the Playstation Network Account of Leadfoot530. We also accept cash. Please mail to the following address at...

...er...

...yeah.

 

[Dan]

With these huge money glitches, do you guys think R* will do a universal money wipe, like after the original money hacking wave on PS3? I'm not looking forward to losing the $2 million dollars I gained from grinding missions.

 

[Sting]

Who knows. We can only hope they target people who went crazy and glitched close to $100m. I went from 15 to 31million and got eight sultans in reserve. What a grind though, my eyes were starting to close on me (it's 3:11am here now) which led to my Buzzard finding its end several times in the side of a hill.

 

[Flash_Sweden]

When i closed down the party, the timer said that it had been active for just over 13 hours And you call that "grind"?!

 

[Leadfoot530]

If I had been doing the grinding, I would buy as many cars or things that I could sell ASAP. That way, you'd still have the money invested, and Rockstar won't be able to take it away.

Inb4 garages get raided.

 

[Jahgee]

So how exactly do you get a dupe to save, I can't get it to save at all, now that I'm at the daily sell limit I want to fill my garages with dupes but I can't as I don't know how to

 

[Sage Ages]

Oh come on man. Three of my custom outfits have been borked. All three had helmet/mask combos and now the mask won't appear. Why do they have to keep patching harmless cosmetic glitches, or even make them a feature?

Apparently from what I've heard, the reason they keep patching the helmet/mask glitches is that it causes issues with lag/syncing/whatever it's called. Basically, it doesn't show your character correctly on other people's games.

Not sure why I am remembering this now.

 

[Dan]

The Chimera is tempting, but knowing me, I'd use it once and regret purchasing it altogether. :|

Huh. That's weird. It's surprising that with the number of police roleplaying groups that they didn't create bp-helmets and balaclava or gas mask combinations months ago.

 

[ViscousTraction]

Thankfully I tested the bikes out in creator mode before actually buying them because the damn CHIMERA FRONT BRAKE ROTOR IS OUT OF CENTER.

When it spins it looks wobbly. -1/10 👎👎👎

Yup. Noticed that too in Creator. Has R* said if they'll let players choose tires without white walls or no?

They never change vehicles stock appearance once they've been made public.

Wait, what!? Is this coming from the one saying that what me and @Sting was doing "isn't very efficient"?
I've only been online for about 15-20 minutes now, but I've already stored one RS, and sold another one. It's not really effective time-wise, but atleast cars are getting sold/stored

 

[STI9]

I've only been online for about 15-20 minutes now, but I've already stored one RS,

It still works?

 

[250 GTO]

It still works?

He probably never left the session
When Marcus commits to something...

 

[Flash_Sweden]

It still works?

Yes. Kind of

He probably never left the session

Exactly. Sat my character to watch tv while I slept. I've filled my garages and hit the limit for carsales though Oh well, I guess he can watch some more tv


Edit: just started a new 24-hour period of carsales

 

[250 GTO]

@Flash_Sweden

A tip of the hat to you sir.

 

[STI9]

I was telling some GTP'ers last night about a building model that had been updated causing a lot of 'chop shop or something similar' type DLC speculation.

If anyone is interested it is located on Orchardville Ave. , La Mesa, SouthEast of the map.

HERE is a post about it on GTAF and you can follow the conversation.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

So I went mod menu-ing and decided to have a look at what lazy bleep R* put on the Chimera.

It was some REAL lazy stuff lemme tell ya.

With a mod menu, you can't even change the bulletproofing of the trike. Moreover, changing the wheels will only change the front wheel... and with CAR WHEELS.

Worse: it's a left wheel, so from the left it looks cool, but from the right is empty.

And lastly: it can go CAR RACING.

It handles like an ATV

Other notes:

- You can only change the front wheels of the Tornado Rat Rod.

- I hope the IFruit app gets it's head out of it's butt and works, because the Sanctus' stock wheels can be colored, like the Trophy Truck and Desert Raid. Also: the Sanctus has good weight control, being able to hop certain obstacles when wheelieing.

- While not fast, the Vortex can have its headlights removed. It also has Alien engine accents to make it glow in the dark. This is no hovercraft, but is cool.

- The Esskey is another, customizable Enduro.
