The rage is so real right now. Im trying to complete the 50 heist finales challenge and I am on 46. I hosted Fleeca and finished it. Noticed I got an invite from a random to do the Kuruma theft part of said heist. Accepted only for him not to invite me to the finale. Why are people total d***s. Never joining a random heist again, this has happened to me 5 times in the past week.

I had that same problem a few months ago with some random too. If I knew people do these type of things then I certainly would have avoid it judging by what this guy did to his armored kuruma. No not talking about the one you steal in the setup. His own Armored Kuruma. You know, one of those guys who try to add Joker paintjobs to their cars and / or put dollar rims onto their cars. Yeah he did that to his car.

I know like they say, never judge a book by its cover but knowing how the community is on GTA Online and the type of cars that the randoms who can ruin your experience drives, its almost predictable that seeing someone driving a car like that can get on your nerves.
 
Just received the Live a little trophy, by just buying and selling armored Kurumas. Costs 525k, sells for 345k. I did it with 3.6 million on the bank and I finished with 1 million left.

Side note. I already had an Armored Kuruma.

Edit.

Latest purchase.

Am I missing something? You payed for a car and immediately sold it for less and you done this multiple times?
 
I might have to get me a Schafter as well. I hear a lot of good things about them but haven't been in one yet (except the standard one obviously and the turreted one)
 
I own the Schafter V12 Armored, and I love it. The lowest suspension option practically slams the car, the engine sound is ferocious, and it's incredibly fast. The only things I dislike about the car is how easily it rotates at high speed, and the strange panelling on the doors.
 
Someone in a jet trying to kill me goes off radar and fails to kill me. I go off radar, get in my jet and kill him twice and he texts me calling me an "off radar jet noob" then rage quits.

Hypocrisy isn't random GTA players strong point is it!?

On another note I wouldn't mind having a test drive of a Lwb and a normal schafter. Fully upgraded if possible.

Is it fully modded engine wise, cause I'd like to have a go one day before I buy one

I have a blue Schafter V12, no performance upgrades just some small visual mods and full armor. I can show you it tomorrow if you want.
 
I've just done some stock tests of the V12 Schafter (non armoured) and the V12 Schafter (armoured) around my test tracks. Here is my findings:

(I'll refer to the armoured version as the V12a)

The V12 is fast and is pretty planted. You drive it hard and with a little correction it's easy to keep it on the track. The brakes are pretty good too but the extra speed of the V12 means it doesn't brake as well as the regular Schafter.

On tight hairpins where you gotta slow right down you can notice the turning circle isn't the best but its by no means the worst and that can be rectified by a little drifting.

The V12a feels almost identical as the V12 which I found surprising. I expected it to be a lot heavier but it doesn't feel it. It does have a tendency to want to get sideways especially when you are really pushing it but when you get the feel of its limit you can keep it in check.

The brakes are just as good as the V12 so stopping is no problem but again, not as good as the regular Schafter.

Around my track it was about 1/10th to half a second off the V12 and when you take in the extra protection it gives you then the small performance loss isn't an issue, and I do mean as little as makes no difference in my tests.

Unlike most videos on YouTube I also repeated the test in the rain and that's when it got interesting. The V12 became a bit more twitchy, it was less stable and I always felt like I was one puddle away from spinning, that's not to say it was too hard to keep in line, it wasn't at all but you do need to be a bit more careful with it.

In the rain the V12a was very impressive. It was planted and secure. It still suffered from the tendency to want to spin but it wasn't encouraged to by the wet track.

I think the small performance perks of the V12 don't make it an out and out winner over the V12a but don't take my word for it, test the stock versions for yourself and see what you think. I think on a track, constantly doing laps to get the best times the V12 will always be quicker, but not by much.

In everyday driving, getting shot at and evading randoms and the police the small speed difference won't matter.

I didn't test top speeds as that's available on YouTube to see, but I don't buy cars for top speed reasons so I don't care about that. Drivability, looks, security have made my mind up.

I also don't know how different fully upgrading them affects their performance but I doubt its a massive gap, I could be wrong though.

Personally I'm going to go for the armoured version.

Just got a message on my PS4 saying this:

"The saved data in online storage is more recent than the saved data on this PS4, or it was created independent of the saved data on this PS4. Do you want to overwrite this saved data in online storage?"

Should I be concerned? :confused:

That happened to me recently. I had no choice to accept it but nothing looked different when I got online. I hadn't lost money or anything.
 
I need to figure out how to fall 100 meters and live

Go to the dockyard at the southernmost point on the map. There will be a container ship with a bunch of cranes overhead. Climb onto the top of the crane at the front of the boat and there will be a parachute for you. Jump from there and aim to land on the boat. As soon as you jump, rapidly tap X to open your chute.

Alternatively, just get into a jet, fly very high, jump out and fall for a long distance, then pull your chute at a relatively low altitude.
 
I tried that, but maybe I did something wrong--yep, I brainfarted, thanks for the advice.

You don't have to fall 100 meters to the concrete.

You can approximate a fall about 100 meters in the sky, then parachute. And that will count.
 
Not sure if it's my imagination or not but GTA loaded up super quick after the v3.15 ps4 firmware update. Did say it would improve performance...
