Done that bit already for that very reason!

Briefly played with v0id last night, bit of LTS.

Played for a while with randoms. I have had excellent games with randoms previously, but last night was terrible. Someone blew up my car, then kept going after me every time I re-spawned. Ended up with another group after doing a mission, only for them to be similar and spend their freeroam time hunting other players.

I think you were just unlucky. Fortunately though, if someone destroys your personal vehicle then they pay for it. You just have to call the insurance. You up for some games tonight? I'm gunna be playing Halo soon but I'll be on GTA later.

Tezcatlipoca · 19-10-2013, 18:28

Yeah, I did notice that when I called the insurance - it said that the other player had to pay the premium.

I will definitely be online later, but I'm not sure when yet. Probably not until 10pm, at least...

v0id · 19-10-2013, 18:39

Yeah, it was a good game, I don't really much care for death match or team death matches and couldn't figure out how to switch to the same team you were on :/

At least it doesn't cost $2000 a time when you get killed now, but when there's lobbys like that I usually just switch to a new session.

If I've got a bounty on my head, then I expect it, hell if it's only a $1000 bounty I'll drive up to people, get out of my car and stand there.
I did that last night, and it took AGES for someone to kill me. I even went into a store that was being robbed and stood in front of two guys, nothing. I went around the counter, punched the clerk and took all the cash out of the till, still they wouldn't kill me.

I've also found a way around selling one car a game day. sell one car and bank the cash, switch to a second character and bank the cash

The earlier mission from Martin I mentioned 'Out of Court Settlement' has now halved to only $4500 after the patch, but the lawyers car is still worth $22,000

cimt · 19-10-2013, 18:42

When I get a bounty, I let a mate kill me and we'll share the money. How easy is it to switch characters in MP? And is there really any point?

adzii_nufc · 20-10-2013, 17:08

Since the patch I've managed to purchase and mod all my vehicles without losing money. Found out when I loaded back in with cars and cash still there.

With regards to the final mission, DO NOT read if you ain't got that far.

Personally I am finding races are a great way to rack up RP & cash. Was doing a 2 lap race around the docks over the weekend and the winner would get around $10,000 and over 2,000 RP. Second was $6k and 1k RP ish. Thankfully I was playing with some players who liked smashing into players, so if you got out in front of them you were fine.

Also I got the 1.04 patch on Friday, but no bloody cash from R*!

It's not a problem as I doubled my cash over the weekend thanks to races and survival games so now I only need $90,000 before I can get my first penthouse (I'm aiming for the $391,000 apartment.)

v0id · 22-10-2013, 15:02

Yeah, races are definitely the best way to rack up RP, but after a few I find them so boring. I prefer to do a few missions and survival.

Regarding apartments, they're all the bloody same inside.
I've got the $223,000 one at 3 Atla St and the $373,000 in Eclipse Towers in Rockford Hills and I prefer the cheaper one.
The garage there is much easier to get into, I think the Eclipse Towers garage entrance blue circle must be glitched or something as it takes me two or three trys to actually get in there. Trying to get into there at speed? Forget about it.

Hom3r · 22-10-2013, 22:54

I will go for the $200k 10-car garage and spend the remaining $300k on car & mods

Tezcatlipoca · 23-10-2013, 00:46

Yeah, I'm going to go for the cheaper 10-car apartment...

What cars do people recommend?

cimt · 23-10-2013, 00:50

Right now I'm going for one in each class. My car list is:

Elegy RH8 - sports
Baller - SUV
Tailgater - sedan
Dominator - muscle

I'd recommend those. I don't have much experience with the other classes yet.

Dr Gonzo · 23-10-2013, 10:43

There is talk about the stimulus package going in sometime this week on GTA Forums.

As for cars, I like the
Obey 9F convertible (looks like the Audi R8)
Karin Futo (based on the Toyota Corolla AE86, old school Jap Tuner)
Vapid Dominator
Karin Sultan (only because you can mod that to become the Sultan RS
Ubermacht Sentinal XS
BF Injection
Sandking SWB or XL, both are fun to do a bit of off-roading.

I honestly haven't played about with many of the super cars. I stored them all in the three characters garages in single player, but since online I haven't played that. And I can't afford anything nice just yet in online. Although the most popular sports/super car I see is the 9F. I think it has a nice balance about it stock.
