How often does it snow and how long does snow stay on the ground once it's stopped? I've yet to get on.

It snows non stop and it stays on until Rockstar decides to remove the snow.

I'm not sure how long it snows for (I don't think it will be any longer than a week) and once it stops snowing everything is back to normal, all the snow will be gone once it stops snowing.

Constant snow, it's going away after Tomorrow and coming back New Years Eve for another 3 days IIRC

Took my Hakuchou out for a spin for a stoppie event. It feels impossible to get a good score because the bike would start to slip and lose control thanks to the snow. While I can appreciate the snow coming back for the third time, it seems to make this freemode event impossible.

I'm pretty sure there are other bikes that might be good at doing stoppies on the snow and I know the snowfall isn't here forever but I honestly don't own that many motorcycles unfortunately and I don't feel like buying a new motorcycle at the moment.

In my limited experience the Sanchez with stock brakes is best for doing stoppies and the Bati 801 is best for wheelies. Sanchez is OK for wheelies but often runs out of power once you get into higher gears.

Edit: also the Bati 801 shouldn't need any modifications to do really long wheelies. Performance mods help, though. I can get 3500ft+ wheelies at the airport and I could get much longer if the fence didn't stop me.

And the snow is gone. Started an air race as it was a daily objective. As I was flying... I noticed there wasn't any snow. Well, gotta wait until New Year's Eve for more snow I guess.

Just a couple of minor glitches. First, Rockstar Logo on my Bodyguard's outfit. Last July during one of the 4th of July's playlist I was given a R* logo t-shirt, even though none of my races, deathmatches, what have you were never Rockstar Verified.

I accepted a Bodyguard invite, and the VIP set the outfit, and my Rockstar Logo from the t-shirt carried over.

Then I went to sell a Sentinel XS...and there were twins in the garage

The only other twin I saw was at Ammunation

I have a bunch of Rockstar shirts in my inventory for some reason.

How miserable are R* to remove the snow already?!

the forecast said there would be a high pressure area with double digit temperatures.... R* can't help that ..

Not that. It's a bunch of developer shirts that have been in my inventory for a while. I just noticed them recently.

How do I make my second character female? Currently going through options and can't find it.

Very funny. I only get two chances to change my characters right? I want my main character to be males and my second character to be female.

thnks, lucky it was female, because for a male you have to have a xbox with a Y button

but is it a new toon or an existing one?

I only remember having one chance to alter my character (when you reach level 6) and even then I don't think you're able to change the sex of the character. I'm not 100% sure on that though.

Worst comes to worst you could just create a new character or ask Rockstar and they might let you modify your character. I've heard they let people alter their characters just from asking.

Alright. It's just that the second character has a few properties, but no cars. They were only level five, but I really don't want to go through the entire process again with Lamar.

I've gotten tired of the tutorial too so I just skip it (unless I want the Tailgater ). Granted I do spend quite a while gaining a wanted level and losing it so I can get the RP to level up to be able to participate in missions.

 

[Dan]

Damn it. I think I accidentally approved a response from a random person on my R* support ticket. Some dude was writing in broken English trying to sound like a R* employee but failed miserably. I accidentally clicked on the "approved answer" button, and I'm worried that actual employees will skip my ticket now.

So if you have a bounty, especially a 9k one like me, a yacht with defense systems turned on is a great place to survive it.

 

[Dan]

Can the yacht's defenses actually shoot down other players' missiles and sniper rounds? That's so awesome. The uploader of this video said in the comments that the noise you hear towards the end is the defense system hitting the sniper's bullets.

I don't know about sniper bullets but my defense system was shooting down rockets from a guy trying to get my bounty earlier.

Had a...simple...person trying to kill me for a good hour and a half earlier until I just got tired of messing with him and went back to my yacht. He was trying to snipe me so I learned that yes, the yacht does protect you from sniper's bullets.

That's awesome. I love that you can still see the vapor trails and can hear the bullet whizzing by, but you never get hit. Hopefully, innocent players won't be reported by griefers for having god mode hacks.

I just pissed off half a lobby doing drive by killings from the Kuruma.

Getting closer to the award.

How long does it take for a video to show up in Social club?
