Guess what?

The motorbikes speed test from Broughy is already out.

While we all should already know the Hakuchou, as Broughy likes to put it: demolishes the Truffade duo, so does the Batis who's not even 2 mph behind. But here are some other tidbits:

- The Thrust is SLOW for it's assumed straight line king position.
- High position surprises include the Carbon RS, the Sanchez, the Ruffian and the Faggio.
- All speeds are recorded when in a wheelie, but other positions are mentioned when relevant.

Can anyone recommend a versus mission that people will join?

EDIT: After getting kicked for being idle at Cold/Hot Rating, which needs 4 players, finally found Crooked Cop, which only takes two, so if you're looking for a Versus Mission to complete Daily Objectives, that's the one I recommend.

I can't get my Hakuchou as fast as my Bati 801 while in a wheelie.

How do you properly hold a wheelie on a Faggio? I love to ride mine, but I can never maintain a wheelie for more than a few seconds until I have to let the front wheel down.

You're not supposed to wheelie it like you do on any other sports bike.

You shift it back in already 3rd gear driving speed instead of launch speed.

Been playing a lot of Rockets v Insurgents over the past few days and there is always 1 or more idiots per round that jump down from the platform and go to the scissor lift or on top of the buildings, it's highly annoying and just blatent cheating.

Me and @superstreet556 are having a very tough Piracy Prevention battle going on at the moment.

Today was one of those days, I found myself in a running battle with 3 crew members, all alone I found it tough but held my own. I died maybe, 20+ times but I killed them maybe 18 times so it wasn't too bad.

I lagged out as usual and entered another lobby, right away I was killed by four lads in a chopper. Thus another running battle ensued, for two hours I had three of them after me and another one in a jet. They were all lvl 250+ and they had me good, I probably got killed about 30 times which was decent considering that the lad in the jet got me 9 times. I got them cold maybe 20 times and just as I was getting bored of the constant 4 on 1 boom, the lad in the hydra crashed.

So there I was yards away from my hydra.....I unleashed the mother of all killing sprees, ignored the others and just destroyed the hydra fella repeatedly.

I lost count how many terrible texts they sent me, awful embarrassing trash talk. After the lad in the hydra had a taste of what it's like to be picked off none stop I crashed my jet. Went passive and continued to ruin their day by following them, diving out of my car and running them over and even coming out of passive just to watch 4 of them in hydras fail to kill me for a good 30 minutes.

In the end they left and although for the day i was killed a lot more than I killed i felt a moral victory, 3v1 then 4v1 and I held my own. The only thing i regret is wasting all that time on mindless killing and losing money.

The only bit that annoyed me was them hiding on a yacht with the defence systems on so I couldn't get them and how easy it is for the jets to avoid homing missiles, standing there watching a jet circle its way out of a lock and dive in for the kill.......that, gets boring.

Your stories really make me want to buy GTA V again. However after buying GTA V again this time on Xbox One, I am going to have to pass. But with that said keep up the good work when it comes to story telling. 👍

Yeesh. Not a lot of room in here, huh? Using the method posted earlier today, I filled my South Shambles Street garage (Which I bought today) with NPC-modded Sandking XLs. This is the exact pattern they spawned in, starting from the top left side in the first image, or the bottom one on the right in the second image. I was expecting to get almost all yellow Sandkings, but the blue ones made a comeback towards the end.

One problem I had was the fact that trucks spawned every third attempt or so, which made things take longer than they should have. Oh well. Free money!

I didn't have that problem but once. And I think it was because I didn't go far enough south. Check out my post in the GTA V cars thread if you want to complete the mission too.

I'll tell you what we need in an upcoming DLC...........a wingsuit!

 

[e rikkie]

I'll tell you what we need in an upcoming DLC...........a wingsuit!

and a tether and michael bay explosions

oh wait i'm confused with just cause

 

[ToyGTone]

I'll tell you what we need in an upcoming DLC...........a wingsuit!

That would be cool 💡
Sadly that also means all our money spent on cars, bikes, planes, boats (including the yacht)...etc would go to waste...

 

[Dan]

I'll tell you what we need in an upcoming DLC...........actual servers!

Fixed.

 

[ToyGTone]

Fixed.

Wait...are the servers P2P? or you mean the fact it's horrible (At least not as bad as the launch of the servers but still)?

 

[AnthonyD1993]

He's referring to the abysmal server quality which is the truth. They are absolute garbage especially considering that they are for a game that has earned well over a billion in revenue. A game selling that well having servers that constantly lag people out is just terrible, and Rockstar seems as if it could care less about server stability now that they got our money.

Not to mention that quite a number of us have bought the game TWICE.

 

[STI9]

To be honest the servers haven't been that bad in my own experience. Sure there have been a few occasions where I haven't been able to get on but thats the case for lots of games. Anyone who plays FIFA will testify for a start.
I do see where the complaints are coming from though.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I'm normally able to connect and stay connected to sessions, but I get the issue where it shows you that everyone in the room left at once at least once a day. Better than being disconnected altogether but still unacceptable.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Last night I was in a stable session, with 2 or 3 free Mode events, and a mini battle with an armed Insurgent and one other. Then I did a parachute job to finish the Daily Objectives. After that, I would get disconnected twice.

 

[Katiegan]

I'm still having the trouble of lagging despite having a wired connection now. It seems to be the only game I still have this problem with too since Destiny works fine. I was lagging in a room of just 6 people last week.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Good job, mechanic.

 

[Sage Ages]

I wish there were armored/upgraded versions of regular ordinary cars like the Rancher or something.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

dat coincidence

 

[Sage Ages]

You had one job.

 

[Aaroh]

Hi, I play on PS4 and I'm at level 28. Whenever I play heist setups or any missions, I die very easily. I see that other players can take a lot more hits than me. Why is it so? Do I have to max my stats? Please give me suggestions.

Thanks!
