Was just in Ludendorff with @TheKitten, then my game froze :l

*Goes online for a short time*
*Sees Player 1's car parked at Trevor's Airfield*
*Grabs a Cargobob*
*Titan Spawns above player's car, so I can't get it*
*Moves Titan*
*Sees Player 2 approaching*
*Gets in 9F Cabrio, assuming the worst and abandoning Player 1's car*
*Player 2 grabs the Cargobob I just got *
*I drive back to where player 2 is*
*Player 2 moves to try and pick me up*
*I pull out sticky bombs*
*Throws one and it BARELY barely missed the Cargobob*
*Detonates*
*Leaves*

Hi

 

[neljack]

Does anyone know if there's a way to stop joining created events? Most of them are crap

Hackers are like buses... You wait ages for one, and then 2 come along.

I was getting fed up of having no money Online, and spent most of tonight hunting for a Dubsta. I finally found one, and as I was pulling down the alleyway leading to LS Customs, I suddenly recieved $62 million. I quickly banked the cash and sped in, and proceeded to fully mod said Dubsta. I then raced back to my apartment, and proceeded to buy pretty much all of Elitas Travel, Warstock, and Docktease. That was when I recieved $620 million from the same guy. Not long after that, I switched lobbies and recieved another $120 million from a different guy, bringing my grand total up to $800 million.

@Carl the Sloth saw some of the results of this not long ago.

When I shamefully killed you over a 1K bounty because it showed no indication you were a crew member or on my list, dammit Rockstar

Nice Super Diamond though :3

 

[E28]

Don't worry, I didn't even know it was you that got my $1k bounty, although I am annoyed, as I'm very short on cash right now.

I bought a Cargobob from Pegasus too.

 

[Dan]

I really hope R* never punishes anyone that receives an absurd amount of cash from hackers. I've still got a large sum of cash, which I will probably deplete soon so I can enjoy the rewards from heists (If they ever come out. >_<)

 

[Dean]

Why would they? I mean, those who've gotten the money, had nothing to do with the hacking involved.

 

[Dan]

Why would they? I mean, those who've gotten the money, had nothing to do with the hacking involved.

But if Rockstar starts looking into accounts with over X-million GTA$, they might presume that player is hacking, when they might be innocent and can't do anything about the cash. There's no way they will individually remove cash from player's accounts. For example:
Player 1: You have received $400 million from Player 2.
Player 1: *Reports Player 2 to Rockstar for hacking and asks them to remove the $400 million they unwittingly received*

I'm only saying this because there are people that like to play "legit" and rise up through the ranks by completing jobs, robbing stores, boosting cars, collecting bounties, etc.

 

[Dean]

Well, I suppose we can never really know if it'll happen. I keep my fingers crossed for it to not.

 

[E28]

I think the worst they'll ever do is remove the money from people's banks.

That said, a number of people have asked R*, and they've been told they'll keep the money and won't be punished.

 

[Niyologist]

I just got 54 million GTA $ from a hacker. I spent several million on new cars and custom parts.

 

[Snorevette]

I'm down from $220 million to just under $200 million in the space of a few weeks... I need to be more careful with my money

How will you cope with such a pittance?

 

[Snorevette]

I have no idea... I might have to think about buying another Z-Type instead of an Adder to save money...

Replaced my Carbon RS for a Adder.

What's the Carbon RS even like compared to the Bati, Akuma and Double-T?

Can you please provide a valid link? I believe you, but I just want definitive proof.

You can't insure the Jeep Cherokee anymore :c.

Don't worry. You won't be punished. There's no evidence of anyone being punished when receiving the money.

I just don't understand the logic (or lack of) behind removing so many vehicles from online play after they've been there so long already. Rockstar made 10 car garages available so they had to know gamers would be collecting cars, then they one by one remove some of the most harmless vehicles after many gamers have spent hours searching for and customizing them. Rockstar obviously hasn't done the research when it comes to online gaming and retaining their customers. A fantastic product out of the box, (ignoring the launch issues), slowly being killed by silly, unnecessary "patches". 👎

Hi

Feels so wrong but looks so right.

 

[STI9]

Is anyone going to be on in the next couple of hours for some general messing around and some missions/races etc?

Couldn't have said it better myself ('Cuz my posts suck!).

This may have already been posted but here's a link to a map of all the gang attack locations and time. I found this earlier today and all I have left to complete is: 6,23,38 and 52 (which isn't shown on the map).

For anybody who's interested gang attack #52 is located at the Palomino Highlands deathmatch location. I can't remember the exact time it becomes available but all that I can remember is that it's during the daytime. I still haven't been able to access #6 and #23 so any help will be gratefully appreciated.
