Nevermind

I think they just patched it. Spawning in MP as SP character now just kicks you right back to SP

Dammit.....

 

[GT5Power]

Patched indeed. About goddamn time. RIP 29/12/2017 - 05/01/2018 forever in our wallets

I stocked up on $416m worth of Deluxos so I'm probably good for the rest of the DLCs. For those of you who didn't manage to do it, don't worry. As long as they don't get around to actually fixing it, someone will always find a workaround. Getting kicked back to SP was the exact same patch that ended the previous frozen money glitch (which I never hit) so there will be another one eventually.

By the way, are the servers better now?

Meanwhile, I've found a nice trick for getting into solo public sessions.

 

[Sting]

Yes, because Rockstar is not going to notice lol the Duluxos that people are buying.........

They never have. Their algorithms only check for sales and there are already heavy penalties for overselling. As long as you know the limits, you'll be fine.

Go to network settings, do a quick connection test or NAT type test and done.

Just had some absolute idiot not only sabotage @Nuschel01's gunrunning shipment, but also proceed to grief a bunch of players in the lobby, as well as myself. I retreated to my facility where I promptly orbital struck him. Then I left.

Haha I saw somebody has orbitalized him and immediately thought it was you

EDIT: thanks to you and Jason btw

The NAT trick dates back to Oct. From my understanding, like the MTU trick for Sony guys, that’s not something Rockstar can patch and since it’s not an actual money making glitch, it’s probably not a big priority; you still have to grind against the over-buffed AI more times than not.

Not surprised the SP to MP glitch is gone. They patched it almost as fast the solo dupe trick with the facility. But, I’m sure someone on se7ensins already has a new tactic in the works.

So I finally got GTA V on a next gen console. Finally. Installation and everything went great. But I don't see how I can transfer my online character. Did they remove it?

It's been off since I think March 2017.

Well damn. That was a big part of me wanting the next gen. Guess I'm delagated to grinding my ass of again.

 

[Sage Ages]

I will be hosting a Busted lobby later today at 4pm EST. If anyone here is interested in joining, let me know and I’ll send you more info and an invite when the time comes.

 

[rallymorten]

..if anyone's interested, that ^^ means right about now.

Seriously, give it a shot. We've got Police Staniers and Police Mavericks.

 

[superstreet556]

Whoever joins within the next 15 minutes @Custom878 will buy you a $100 Shark Card.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

My PC public-private session technique appears to be patched....(resource monitor method) damn it.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

I hate Oppressors as much as the next guy, but then you get morons like this one and wonder if they're really there to make themselves look stupid.
Watch as I take one out not once, but twice in, of all things, an Armored Boxville. 👍

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Disappointingly, I still feel like there's not a faster way to make money than grinding headhunter/sightseer with my savage for hours. I can usually time it so there's no cooldown and I'm making ~$50k every 10-15 mins. I can't get anything close to that via businesses. I need to figure out some sort of passive income scheme.

Run the business alongside. That's what I do. Buy stock and then just mess about/do other stuff. Come back later and sell. Stuff wasting time stealing supplies, add in the ammo deaths armour etc and it's not that much of a different margin. Time could be spent better imo.

You could find a descent crew to do the Act III-finale with. 4 players that all has a facility can do the finale back-to-back-to-back-to-back. There’s a glitch that lets you do 1 prep job and one setup before doing the finale. We tried it last night, and it’s easy as hell.
Compared to the PacStan-job, it takes a bit longer, but there’s no quitting for the host, so everyone makes cash every time.
As host, I made $600k for the finale, -$120k for the setup cost. The other guys made ~$350-400k. That’s of course before we replenished our ammo and armor. And if you can do the elite challenge, there’s another 100k (I think) in it.
Run your cokebusiness at the same time, and you’ll make a decent amount of cash relatively fast.

I took just over an hour to do the prep, setup and finale (which we failed 2 times). We got $4800 for the prep, $45k for the setup, $9k for the failed attempts and $300k for the finale (even though the planning screen said 20% = $240k.
Watch out for the explosive crates in the narrow tunnels near the end, because they'll get ya, won't they @Sting

Aah! I must have misunderstood you then. I thought it was an hour for everything. But let’s not forget that we played it with mr James “internetconnection from the 1990’s” Yarders, who disconnected one time as well.
And I was adding the prep and setups into the entire cut. Hence the $350-400k

Isn't it great that Rockstar encourages terrible behavior like this? You're minding your own business doing a mission alone and causing zero harm to the rest of the lobby. All of a sudden, these jackasses grab their OP flying cars and have to go out of their way to attack you with rockets. Thankfully Rockstar gives you a missile lock warning and countermeasures while on the ground. Oh wait...

Well we started at 12 my time and finished at 2 your time

 

[Nuschel01]

Doomsday Act 3 finale took me like 3 days until I finally found players that were able to help me. I hate that mission, seriously

What‘s even worse is that if you blow these morons up directly and not with stickybombs exploding near them you‘re the one getting fined 20k and getting a bad sports note. like wtf R*

Business as usual. Punish the innocent players for defending themselves and trying to play peacefully, but let the actual griefers walk free.

And even if you manage to destroy their griefing vehicle of choice, they can just call it back immediately, allowing them to just come right back at you, as the guy in the Deluxo did in my video.

Or they can just skip that step altogether and sit in their facility and just orbital strike you with 0 ****ing effort required and with no warning or way to avoid being killed instantly.

It’s really telling how I have to spend upwards of half an hour each time I log on to GTA Online to find a solo public lobby just so I can do bunker sales without having some **** on a flying car/bike come and ruin it for no real reason whatsoever.
