I received my $500k yesterday. I am about $15,000 short of getting an Entity XF now.

It's a bit clichéd really, but I do actually like the way the car handles. I hate the cockpit style front windshield though.

PC build is here but the inevitable happened. I'm stuck in Bad Sport lobbies for however many days now.

Anyone know if you can join friends lobbies still?

I have the XF and a garage full of goodies. Although I'd made millions before the package.

How did you get stuck in those lobbies? Pretty sure you've got to do a lot of bad sport stuff for that to actually happen.

Recording my new vid. involved destroying every personal vehicle I could find.

You've only got yourself to blame then. It's players like you that ruin public free roam.

..and no, you can't join friends lobbys.

If they give me c4, fighter jets and tanks then I'm going to destroy everything and everyone that's not on my side again for recording purposes only. I'm out of the bad sport lobby now and have found ways to stay out and still wreck everything in sight. Video purposes only. Afterwards I'll go back to making millions and just leaving a remote bomb armed super car beside LSC as my daily entertainment.

Bad sport is pointless and hypocritical from a game that prides itself on carnage. With massive pressure to remove it, it's only a matter of time before it happens. There's invite only sessions so the problem is minimal.

Solution is simple. 2 separate free roam lobbies. One with jets and all the typical GTA features enabled and one that has minimal weapons and destructive vehicles. The way it currently is has flaws. Rank up to ridiculously high levels for tanks and jets... get punished for using them.

Destroying cars is alright with me but if you're destroying personal vehicles then you deserve to be called a bad sport.

adzii_nufc · 09-11-2013, 10:34

It's even funnier sitting outside of the insurance place waiting for them to claim only to stick a bomb on it and watch them drive off.

I'd like to think I'm more of a cunning Assassin than a terrorist. Except when I'm levelling the entire server with a tank. Then I'm George Bush.

I generally do:

Rig LSC with C4.
Steal people's Vehicles with the cargobob.
Rig their cars with explosives whilst they're away.
Cause a blockage at LSC usually ending up with 5 or so personal vehicles piled up for a hefty shot with an rpg.
Ignition bomb my super car collection.

I guess some people just want to watch the world burn.

I logged on for the first time in a few weeks last night to get my money and buy an apartment.

I've gone with 3 Alta St Apartment 57, for just over $200k. Also modded my RH8 as much as I can (which isn't much at the moment as most things are locked).

v0id, was that you buzzing my door? If so, sorry! I was downstairs, and by the time my character had slowly walked back upstairs to the front door (why no running in apartments and garages?) there was no one there.

As for the bad sport thing... I don't think it works. It does not penalise people who camp outside LSC or those who go around spawn-killing, it just penalises those who destroy personal vehicles...

So what if someone destroys a personal vehicle? They can be insured! If someone trashes your car, they pay the insurance cost of the replacement. If you trash someone else's, you pay the insurance cost of the replacement.

I've seen many posts from people who destroyed personal vehicles *as revenge* against people who were spawn killing them or camping them at LSC, and yet they were labelled as "bad sports", rather than the ones who really were bad sports.

Campers and guns are hopeless. Auto aim makes it so lopsided that you either bring out a tank or a jet. I'm sick of being hit by a pistol to the head whilst I'm travelling at 100mph. So I treat them and their possessions to a missile at 400mph.

Thats why I don't play online much. too many people ruining what should be a fun experience.

adzii_nufc · 09-11-2013, 18:30

You can't solely blame people. The online portion of the game just has too many messed up mechanics. Who in their right mind thought a built in aim bot was a good idea? Or that passive mode only protects you on foot. Those two things would solve most of the problems.

cimt · 09-11-2013, 18:32

Don't like auto aim? Turn it off and play with others who have it off. I only have it on because I regularly play with others who have it on.

adzii_nufc · 09-11-2013, 18:42

I don't see how that helps. Sure a private lobby with a few mates but everyone else likely still has it turned on and I know which one kills quicker. Did you play RDR? that had it sussed.

cimt · 09-11-2013, 18:44

If you turn it off then it'll only put you in lobbies with others who have it turned off.
