GTA Online Thread (Useful Links in OP)

The Esskey is a Ducati Scrambler. At first glance it's obviously a dirt bike. But researching said model a bit more gave me this conclusion: who was it that wanted a cafe racer again?

I'm positive it has the tools to be one.. I have to check again.

I'm interested in the cafe racer look, the Defiler is sort of like a modern look on the style.

The Wolfsbane is tops. It's a bit of mongrel. It is as if someone were to take a '58-65 Duo-Glide frame and slap a '48 FL springer fork on it. Then add an Evolution motor and modern aftermarket belt-drive primary with a final chain drive, but with the sound of a Panhead. It's whacky.

So I just spent 1.3 million dollars again on yet another stupid van.

Thanks to the 6th garage, I'm in the mood to go get a storeable van collection.

What I got:
Moonbeam Custom (the new stupid van)
Minivan Custom
Rumpo Custom
Gang Burrito
Slamvan Custom (hey it says van right???)

To get:
Youga Classic
Surfer (clean)

I wonder what else to add?

How does the Zombie Chopper handle? I might get one, but I don't wanna get something that's awkward to drive.

It's more of "retro" styled bike than anything. Cafe racers are much more bare-bones, and the Scrambler isn't quite a full-on dirt/enduro bike.

Personally I enjoy both of the Zombie bikes. Can't say the handling has put me off

 

[MMX]

The Wolfsbane was my favorite, until I bought a Zombie Bobber. Both are fun to ride, but I like the raw look of the Zombie.

I can't wait to add the Youga Classic to my van collection. I have all current storeable vans now, except the mini, it's not a real van. LOL

 

[SomePlayaDude]

It's not super duper, but the Zombie has a much better time handling corners than a Daemon or Avarus. But it's no Innovation.

A little miffed as well that most of these new bikes have paintable stock rims. Sucks that the IFruit app isn't working right now.

Hope they fix it soon. It was a short workday for me today and I'm ready for some GTA

It worked fine after that post...for about an hour. Now it's down again And I've got a factory full of coke. I hope that the cops are scared to go back there again after yeaterdays...incidents

It's kind of screwy on the PS3 too. I can get online but can't see trophies at the moment.

 

[Leadfoot530]

From what I've seen, it might be another DDOS attack again...

...by the 15 year olds that can "hack."

Just means more time for me to finish homework so I can hopefully play for more than a half hour today!

I jinxy. Now I can't get on because of network errors. Damn DDoS attack.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I logged in to finish my van garage to see a UFO nudging my spanking new Surfer, and suddenly everything combusting, including myself.

This is fine.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Good news: finished my homework for the day!

Bad news: PSN is still down for me...

 

[250 GTO]

Can't use Twitter, can't use Netflix, can't use Spotify, can log on to PSN, my PS4 can't even connect to the internet, for crying out loud! What is going on?! I read about a large scale cyber attack, but from what I understood it only hit the eastern part of the US, and it should be resolved by now?! Guess Denmark is suddenly part of east USA...

I think I read earlier that it hit the Easter US, along with parts of Europe and somewhere else that I can't remember off the top of my head.

It wasn't just the US.

EDIT: Finally got online, at least to where I can view my friends list. Not sure if I trust connecting to a lobby yet.

 

[Flash_Sweden]

Yup. PSN down I can't even use the apps on my phone. YouTube still works on the PS4 though. So I'm just shifting between single player in GTA and NHL17. Might even start up the PC for some Spintires 👍

Edit: I just googled "PSN down". Well... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gaming/555533/PSN-down-not-working-PS4-PlayStation-Network-PS3

 

[STI9]

My friends list is kinda working...a bit. Only game I can get online in is NBA.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Spintires: where SPD can somehow make the most hardy of machinery enter a river regardless of speed.

Quick note on the Esskey and it's cafe racer-ism: well, it's too bad you can't lower the handlebars. But you can have a shorter tail and chop off the exhaust pipes. The thing already looks bare without mudguards (that you can choose to put on).

While the Defiler and the Vortex will satisfy a modern cafe racer, they're really heavy to manoeuvre compared to the Esskey.. which makes them no cafe racer by definition. Not to mention pricey as well. With the Esskey setting you back 250k, and with my van collection underway, I'll be in the.. CEO mood this weekend.

 

[SkyArkz23]

Hm thats odd... I've been online all day and the only thing that happened was a brief 2 minute connection issue to Rockstar's servers (was in the creator at the time...)

btw i bought the wolfsbane and I love it. kinda wish some of the customization items were a tad bit cheaper but thats ok. this bike was also the first where i wasn't compelled to stick the GTP logo on it.

Also is it bad that I created a track that gives the feeling of GT1's Special Stage Route 11?
...well minus the Death chicane

No dice on PSN for me

 

[STI9]

Massive web attacks briefly knock out top sites - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-37728015

Sites affected all use Dyn.

 

[250 GTO]

So my day started with a pop up on m iPad, telling me that somebody tried to use my Apple-ID in Nanjing China. And now this.

Think I'm just gonna read a book. I hear good things about books.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Any motive behind this?

Can't tell if Apple Music is down too or if it's just because my iPod is hideously slow.
