Midnight Club LA

[Turbo Lag]

I still think MODNAR has the best cop car for now, he only ever drives cop cars of various sorts, so you're gonna struggle to beat the amount of work he puts into them.

I know, I tried my best for now anyway. I'll have to try again with another car, maybe the Z06 tonight.

 

[Legendary]

Why does MODNAR like his cop cars so much? GTA and anything else he can make one in I suppose.

 

[Paulie]

4 days and counting since the social club last updated, I should at least have hyrdaulics by now but nnnooOOOooo.

 

[Legendary]

I think it is really stupid having to do these ridiculous task just to unlock hydraulics which I happen to want ALOT.

 

[Turbo Lag]

Why are hydraulics so popular? I find it a bit pointless really.

 

[Paulie]

I don't want them that much if at all, but an achievement on the way to a new car is an achievement.

Edit: Well it said that if the stats don't update in 48hrs to send them an e-mail. I think 4 days qualifies and I did just that. I also asked them why I can never upload photos.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

My stats have updated at the Social Club. I'm now 43% complete, apparently. My 15:9 Evasion:Arrest ratio will be going up in the next update. Is it just me, or is the S600 a Cop magnet?

I would guess that there's some kind of virtual private network between PSN and Rockstar, which is firewalled from Rockstar's web infrastructure. SQL Stored Procedures will pull data from the private servers to the public servers running to a schedule (likely daily), and the web server users will not have rights to update data on the private database. Therefore, there will be a lag betwen the PS3 sending stat data to PSN and that data becoming available on the Social Club site.

Of course, it was probably borked over the holiday period.

 

[Turbo Lag]

I'm stuck on 95% right now. How do I get the last 5%? Whatever I do, my percentage simply dosen't go up. I've done a million wager races and they don't seem to be getting me anywhere.



Wait what? I don't have the Audi R8.

 

[Paulie]

What is TIS Modular M304?

Edit: I don't know if they read my e-mail or not, but my stats finally updated after 5 days.

TIS Modular is a brand of rims you unlock. Although they're not very good.

OK thanks. I'm currently trying to make an FPV themed Cobra, wish me luck.

 

[Legendary]

That could be hard.

This can only go well...



I made a Mansory V8 Vantage. It's a shame there's a lack of parts for the V8V, but atleast it'll stop people wrecking them.

 

[Paulie]

Well I made my Cobra. On the right door it has a big FPV logo (took something like 16 vinyls to make the FPV logo ), it is coloured a traditional Ford bright blue, on the nose of the bonnet it has written "THE BOSS", on the left door it has TLD, and on the boot a big Ford logo. Turbo Lag has seen it. It's rather simple (except the logo for FPV) but I think it really pulls it off. I would upload a photo except MC LA doesn't let me. How stupid is that, I can race and cruise with other people which requires streaming of live data, but I can't upload 2 lowsy photos from in game?

I'm also quite happy that my old skool Challenger with the no. plate RICEETR was able to EAT Turbo Lag's riced Eclipse even with a roll over at the end.

Edit: BTW, the roof on my Cobra has gone up, does anyone know how to get it back down as the convertible roof button doesn't work.

Edit 3: Have you all seen this Corvette from "Rate my Ride"?

Not mine of course, but pretty cool none the less.

Edit 2: What's the longest jumps you guys have done? It seems I've done a jump that went 362.69 feet. I have also done a double backflip in the Ninja, almost done a triple once, will have to keep trying for a triple.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Longest jump for me is 194.79.

 

[Joey D]

The McQueen Vette is awesome, I saw that the other day. That took some serious time to do.

 

[JonesyGT246]

I think the Social Club must be messed up or something. It says that I have the R8.

Plus, it doesn't show that I have the C-License. Guess I'm not the only one.

 

[jswilli1]

Longest jump for me is 194.79.

My longest jump is 371 meters or 1217 ft. Ran the LA river with 2 nitros and hit the ramp under the power line tower. By the way its a trophy I am at 37% for trophies, I only played MCLA with you guys on the cruise this week. I have been busy with work over the holidays

 

[Pepsi0]

I've just realised there are quite long days and nights in this game, longer than GTAIV and Burnout Paradise. (well actually no because on Burnout Paradise you can have a 24 hour clock!)

 

[Legendary]

God, I cant do ONE race without getting frustrated at how difficult this game is. The races are too hard. I find it really stupid that I unlock a nice fast car to find out that the AI get booted up to speed. It is so annoying. Right now I cant go through the game because it is too difficult.

Mine did that but you don't get the R8 until you actually really unlock it with all 12.

That 5%, remember the Tuner, Muscle, Bike, Exotic and Luxury Champs I mentioned? The ones that seem to appear randomly when you race for a long time with that type of vehicle? That seem to be COMPLETELY random and you get no clues on how to get them to challenge you?
Well you just found the part where you need em, drive (and race) with one type of vehicle for as long as you can in career until the relevant Champ challenges you, then repeat til you beat em all.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

I think there's something a bit wrong with the leaderboards. Who the hell is Charmen-Ultra (that's ever so close to a brand of toilet paper), and has (s)he really used the special weapon more than one billion times?? Or 168 million consecutive race wins?

I'll have to try that then. Meanwhile, I'm busy with another game

I think they hack the leaderboards...

Glitch. I remember back on TDU way long ago, I hit some glitch where it put me up highest on the leaderboards. Soon after, a couple more people joined me with the same number.

If that were real, then I'd hate to see what they look like. *Imagines burnt out eyes, bags drooping down to mouth, one giant pimple the size of a gobstopper on their forehead, belly the size of beach ball, etc etc.*

 

[Legendary]

^^Tha is a disturbing thought.

I bet their mothers are proud.

Seems likely. I bet there's some binary significance to the numbers, but I can't be bothered figuring it out.

 

[Paulie]

You know, speaking of the final champs, does it come as a surprise that the muscle car champ challenged me immediately after beating the city champion?

Edit: Hold up, have those trophies I've been earning in game been PSN trophies? No wonder there is no list available in game with what the trophies are. (Not that I've really looked, maybe there are )
