GTA Online Thread (Useful Links in OP)

[Rod Carvalho]

Have to say i'm slightly worried about the action they will be taking against RP cheats, might be hard to believe but I am rank 409 and it's all legit. Criminal Records probably got me up to 160 or 170, I don't remember now. The I was just doing missions after that, must have done RR 500 times (probably more). I also created a custom race that earns me 3000RP for 22 seconds of race time, still do missions as well to mix it up.

Could you post the social club link for the race you've created?

 

[Snorevette]

Hm. I should probably sell as many Franklin Buffaloes as possible before the update, because I'll be very surprised if they don't patch that glitch.
This update sounds really neat though. If it turns out alright it could be the best GTA Online update to date.

EDIT - Nevermind, the glitch isn't working for me anymore anyway. I think they patched it in a silent update.

 

[DurWinning]

So we know that the Debawchee Massacro, Pegassi Zentorno, and Dinka Thrust are in. But their is still one more car. Does anyone know if that last car is the Huntley Sport from the leaked files from awhile back?

 

[Sage Ages]

Probably.


I hope R* gets a bit creative with the Thrust. I don't want a generic sport bike.

 

[DurWinning]

Probably.

I'm kinda hoping the Thrust is like an old Honda or Kawasaki Motorcycle from the 70s

 

[Sage Ages]

I'm hoping for a Rebel or CB but that probably won't happen.

 

[Jahgee]

Woot! 10 more cars!

 

[Sage Ages]

Meanwhile, I have 3 empty slots and 2 cars I don't even like. The hell am I gonna do with 20 cars?

 

[DurWinning]

Same here. But instead it's I have cars I want to get, but no money to acquire and upgrade them.

 

[driftinziggy]

Woot! 20 more cars!

Fixed.


Edit: for those wondering .. 2 characters with two 10 car garages would be 20 additional cars

Sure Here it is, no different than some others that are posted. Also remember, 3000RP is dependent on your current rank.

 

[ibnumgt1]

Yay new update! Multi-properties? Sounds interesting.

 

[Vince]

Has anyone created just a general lobby/thread/club where someone or some group of people hosts games that are not made by Rockstar, but rather something like this? Thinks like demolition derbies, cops and robbers, things like that?
I was able to join this popular club where they did this in GTA IV, but that got shut down due personal reasons from the owner. I'd love to do something like this every now and then - always have. I just got distracted with my GTA IV & V RP and those shenanigans.

AWESOME! I already know at least a couple cars I'll be getting. My current 10 cars are basically based on what are essentially some of the fastest cars in each category, or either my favourite car from each category so I always had a personal vehicle to choose from almost no matter the race that came up. For my next batch of cars I'd like a proper fourbie to go off-roading in (current off-road car is the BF Bifta for speeeeeeeed!), and maybe a Sanchez for riding off-road. Some more muscle cars would be nice, and perhaps one of thems new supercars. BTW, how do the new supercars rate for speed compared to the others?

Edit: Never mind, just realised I can check vehicle stats on the Social Club.

Edit 2: Is the Albany Alpha supposed to be a Cadillac?

Edit 3: Is there a way of selling the Pegasus vehicles you own for cash?

Edit 4!!!: Another thing I've wondered, you know how when you modify a car/bike eventually you fill the acceleration bar making it look like the other mods are doing nothing? Well, if acceleration bars are maxed out on two different vehicles (eg. Bati 801 vs Dinka Akuma), does the Bati 801 win a drag race because it has a high speed rating or does the Akuma still have an unseen acceleration advantage?

WTF Edit 5!: I think I better start making a list of the vehicles I want so I don't forget. Can a Vapid Sandking be visually modified much?

Oh my god @Paulie why are there so many edits?

 

[Doog]

Edit 2: Is the Albany Alpha supposed to be a Cadillac?

It shares a lot of cues with the Cadillac El Miraj concept.

 

[Dean]

I think of the alpha as a Mercedes D-class, but that might just be me.

 

[driftinziggy]

@Paulie
Yes on the Alpha/ Caddy( see Doogs post)
Yes parts still affect performance even after max( especially transmission)
Yes Sandking has a decent amount of visual mods

I love my Sandking it's a ton of fun to drive around and run over cars, but here's a tip, go up to sandy shores to find the one you want. There's the XL and SWB, but some spawn with a front push bar/brush guard, which can't be added onto one without having this massive, ugly front bumper put on the truck as well, and some will come with a small roll bar on the bed, which can't be taken off. But there's an option for that same roll bar anyways.

so to sum it up...

• Find a SWB/XL in Sandy Shores
  
• Check to see if it has the front push bar if you like it or not
• Make sure it doesn't have a rear roll bar.

Damn, that ElMiraj's side skirts look awkward.

The Spawn around the Military base to.

The Sandking XL is my absolute favorite truck. The Bifta is my favorite off roader in general because it's so fast, looks terrific in Gulf racing colors , and has a great engine sound, too. The Karin Rebel is fun, too, but I haven't driven mine in so long that I forget how it handles.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Albany Alpha's rear lights are based on the Maserati Ghibi (?) (or was it the Quattroporte)

 

[amhowie]

Hello GTP, I'm here to tell you about something @amhowie and I run on GTA online. It's called PSN nobody in a GTA car and if you think that it sounds like a ripoff of a Top Gear segment with a similar name than your wrong. We came up with this all by ourselves

The process is simple. You have 10 laps from a rolling start around our track to set your best time and be immortalised with a video and a place on the wall of nobodies. (Language warning for these videos)

You may also be interviewed, depending if you want/can and if we have time.

Currently theres 4 participants on youtube and a rather big backlog of ready for publishing videos waiting in the wings. Including a time so fast i'm willing to bet a year of GTP premium that no one will ever beat it.

I'm here to ask if any of you guys want to give it a go. It's a great way to compete against your friends/crew mates in a no cheating, no excuses way. And seeing as we're talking about GTAV thats a rare opportunity. Not to mention it will only take 10 minutes of your time and has great bragging rights potential.

So are you down or are you chicken? Leave a post or PM me here, or send a PSN friend request to amhowie with a note of 'nobody' and before you know it you'll be taking stiffy corner in our excellent Asea.

Cheers folks!

Edit: our recording technique and my commentating have improved a lot since this early attempt. Your videos will be quite a bit better overall.

Bad news guys...the High Life update will NOT be coming next week.

Rockstar tweeted the following:

"@RockstarGames: <Twitter user> The Capture Creator will be available next week and The High Life update will follow later in the Spring"

I don't keep my breath with R* updates, schedules mostly sucks what they give.
Im suprised if heists are out before July or when PC version is out.
I higly doubt they want release uncompleted game for PC...

I think they're based off of the Rolls Royce Wraith.

And yes, it apparently has been ripped and converted to GTA4 files.
