Oh man, that's actually epic! assuming it doesn't get everyone banned who received the money :p

 

Nope bc this is what I've been talking about. It's every in-game day for a person though. You could give a percentage to the entire lobby if you wanted.

 

Store robberies, selling cars, Simeon vehicles, armored trucks, bounties are all able to be shared. Some dude picked me up from Simeon's so I gave him 70% :)

Getting SOOOOOOOOOOOO pissed off! Not only can I not win a race, I keep on getting DNF. Just did a two-person race and same result... :(

 

I'm now 0/million.1

 

 

Not only that but I keep getting wasted every time I try to do something and haven't had a kill yet. I suck so badly and totally hate this.

 

And now someone killed me as I was robbing a store and my car is impounded. This just goes from worse to worse.

 

And NOW someone killed me as I was typing this!!!! Fuck this whole thing. I quit.

 

 

Got my car back and was killed by another player before I even got out of the lot. Can't I do ANYTHING right? I'm going to cry. I hate competition and this is too much.

 

 

So I just went in for a haircut and some asshole came along, shot out all my tires, and set my car on fire. Probably won't even work now. Is it always this brutal?

 

 

NOTE: All of this was written/happened in the last 16 minutes. :(

 

 

Nope, car won't start. I wish it had blown up so that asshole would have sent to the bad player list. He was a level 56 and I'm a whopping 4. I don't have the cash to fix the car. Insurance company doesn't even pick up the phone, I'm guessing because my car is still technically on the road?

 

(I don't mean to whine so badly, but this is a horrible experience and competition gives me panic attacks. I'm not getting them right now because this is just a silly video game - no need to get THAT worked up. It's just that I hardly see how this qualifies as fun.)

 

 

Oh joy!! Now someone just hit my car, the cops stopped, and killed ME!! And just as I respawned, someone else killed me instantly. Car's impounded again. And I just got killed again while typing that last sentence.

 

 

And now TWO assholes tried mowing me down with their cars, and of course succeeded. Just happened again. It's only been 30 minutes since I started typing this post. All this shit has happened in 30 minutes.

 

 

Same asshole just killed me again. He's a really high level. He's a level 40. I'm the lowest level in the playing field. Two guys are after me and only me... they're harassing me wherever I go and I've lost count of the number of times I've been killed by them (one is a 40, the other is 36, and I'm just a stinkin' 4). I hope the nastiest shit happens to them very soon.

 

 

Now down to $0 on my person because of them (before they started killing me I had $1200). And I swear my bank account just went down by $1000. Is that even possible? I thought bank account money was 100% safe. Now I only have $10k in this game. Like those high-level assholes needed my money? I'm also out of ammo and no money to buy any.

@ Ten Foot Bunny:

I think you still lose money when you get killed. Just like the hospital bill in Story Mode. Just do it as Bloodring suggested, or from Story Mode Pause>Online>Play Online>Solo Session

That way you can at least do some of the grinding without interruption.

 

That said i got more complaints to add to my earlier post:

I'd actually say that the entire online mode is a big fail. It is fun at times, but it is

a.) unfair - why should level 4 people have to play deathmatches with level 100+? Wouldn't matter if they had all the weapons, but that way its just super unfair...

b.) mostly a lot of grinding, which gets boring with time

c.) stupidly bugged. I just played a tdm that went for 60 mins(!!!) and everybody quit, except me and one guy from the other team. I dominated him. End result: 48-42 for my team. He got 22 kills, I got 34. And: It told me in the end that I lost -.- I was the power player for almost the whole time. It said my name, showed the other guy and said his gang name. He got the RP and money. Seriousely?! What the fuck!? After 60 mins!!!

d.) The new dm and race creator fucked it up even more. Join a deathmatch and it will have loads of tanks in it. Just sucks big time. And yet I have still so much grinding to do :(

 

I think once i hit rank 100 I will never play this piece of garbage again.

Story mode however was really awesome!

Wait a sec...

 

So ALL you can do in solo mode are races?! :( I hate those more than anything. Just did one and I was in 4th of 5th place, then the 5th place person smashed my boat so badly that I got yet ANOTHER DNF. I have yet to finish a race against anyone.

 

Is this because I'm level 4 and all of them were were over level 50? Because I'm getting burned in every race. We all supposedly had the same vehicle but right from the beginning they just killed me in the straightaways.

I would personally find a crew or group of people to play with and as for the race. If you time hitting the gas at the start till it says go or whatever it is you get an instant speed boost. As for having no money, the game takes $500 per death on hand or bank.

I was just thinking about that, having a group. There's no way I can survive solo and I do NOT want to grind money by doing races. To be honest, racing is the genre I dislike the most when it comes to gaming, and in this game I keep getting cheap-shotted out of contention. It's also pissing me off to no end that I'm always SO far behind (because of the cheap shots) that I have yet to finish a race.

 

OMG, I was trying to find a race and it ended up being on the military base. Wound up getting killed by the guards because my car got stuck on the concrete barrier and I couldn't escape. Now I lost my money and my car is impounded (again).

 

I am NOT this bad in story mode! In fact, I can win races there because I'm a damn good driver.

Bloodring and N00del -

 

Thank you both SO SO SO very much for the suggestion of grinding up some money and skills in a solo session! That's going to save me so much money and frustration and I really appreciate your guys' help in the matter. :)

 

:drunk

 

Glad to help :)

It seems that you've been getting paired with the nastiest of seasoned racers. And that you chose solo session. I said to do Invite Only because I believe you can still start jobs and such from there. I would recommend getting a crew or some friends, like Justin said, or doing jobs only. At least on jobs people don't hunt you down 24/7

Oh-ho-ho! I totally missed the "invite only" bit (blame my ADHD and the fact that I somehow misplaced my adderall two weeks ago). :biglaugh

 

Going to try the invite thing in a while because I've got other stuff to do at the moment. Thanks again for the awesome suggestions!

 

 

One more thing, and a good note for once. I went into competitive mode shortly and wound up in one of those team deathmatches. Stupid game teamed up 4 people who were level 35+ against our team which only had 3 people who were were, at max, level 5. The game showed something about the 35+ team being police trained (not sure what that means) and our team was unskilled.

 

Well, my two teammates died without making a kill. After they died, I took out all 4 of the other team and won that match!! :D All I had for weapons was my dinky little starter pistol. I haven't been able to afford anything else yet.

 

See? I don't suck at this game THAT badly! I'm just having absolutely rotten luck against high levels, who seem intent on mowing down us n00bs.

Glad to help again! Races really aren't the best route if you're not really, really good at them. I personally dominate at flying races. It seems you dominate at TDM! Those names you mentioned denote shooting skill level (untrained = <1 bar, police training = 3 bars. I'm a Dead Eye; max bars). Shooting skill increase gun accuracy and how much ammo you can carry. Shooting skill goes up by, well, shooting people, and by winning shooting range challenges against human players.

 

Guess what you really need is a full arsenal! Good luck getting to the higher ranks

I don't know, sorry. I thought you can do missions as well? But you can do some grinding for platinum medals. Like the parachuting ones or driving a car for 30 mins without damage. Or start a GTA race at "Downtown Underground" and turn off wanted levels and blow up 500 cars, or do the 300 foot jumps.

That should net you 1500RP for every one (100RP Bronze Medal, 200RP Silver Medal, 400RP Gold Medal, 800RP Platinum medal)

At a lower level like yours thats not too bad. Plus you need 30 platinum medals anyways for an achievement ;)

 

As for the races: I never had any real problems with that. You will often find douchebags that try to push you of the road, but most of the time they end up off the track themselves. But if you do not like racing then I guess they are no fun. Btw, if you get stuck on something just press and hold :ybut:. It will put you back to the last checkpoint.

Races are generally more fair though. As long as custom cars are not allowed everyone has the same chances, no matter what level you are. Maybe it will take a while to remember the tracks, but once you do it should be easy to win a race every now and then.

 

DMs are unfair however. There are people who reached a higher rank by now, but they still play like complete n00bs. If you are level 4 and face 4 (or even 1) capable player(s) level 35+, you'd never have a chance, unless you manage to surprise them from the back. So I'd say you were maybe lucky and faced some n00bs, or you just rawk really bad ;)

Usually they can clip you easily and your pistol won't be much harm to them.

 

I can only give you a small heads up, by telling you that this game gets a lot easier with time...

What pisses me off the most? Looking for at least a semi-fast car and all I can find is a sea of Range Rovers! Occasionally a few 18 wheelers but NOBODY driving ANYTHING but SUV's!

 

You in online or single player? I never had a problem finding a good car in the campaign, and if I couldn't, I just killed myself or got a taxi to take me somewhere :p

 

For online, can't help you there, it is pretty nitpicky until you get your own car that is decent.

Ok so I just got a bounty on my ass while I was in my flat. So I thought "Oh well, I can just as well sit it out. I was in my apartment anyways" Then I saw: Holy crap!!! The bounty is $1b!! Then I definately wanted to sit it out. I thought it was a good idea and an easy way to earn that much money. I got a msg on my in-game phone after a while "Come out or get hacked" I just left to a solo session. (Yeah, that was a weak moment when I was pretty confused and excited and wanted the money -.-) Then I got the $1 billion. I decided to write to the R* Support. Now i really regret that I didn't just let someone kill me :/ I can't use the money and don't wanna get banned. Hopefully they'll answer me soon and just take the money off my account, or whatever..

 

I'm starting to hate gta online more and more...

Looks like I'll need people to help grind me up in MP after all. I spent about 7 hours trying to do missions in an invite-only session, but I'm getting torn to shreds in Gerald's missions and I'm having extreme difficulty catching the cars in Simeon's because my driving skill is so low.

 

When I say "torn to shreds" I literally mean that one or two bullets eats through my body armor and another one or two kills me outright. I've managed to do one mission successfully but not the rest. If there's a car involved, it's still the same - they pull off headshots and I'm dead almost as soon as I see the red blips on radar.

 

In one of Simeon's missions, I spent 2.5 hours chasing a single car around the island. Five laps, not counting the back-and-forth I sometimes had to do. At the end, the target car crashed and burned, I got $200, 200 points, but had to spend $325 getting my car back after I slipped on sand and tumbled off the cliff into the ocean (it was the windy cliff near the lighthouse).

 

So after these 7 hours, I've gained 1.5 levels and made $3k. This totally isn't worth it... :eek:

Shit isn't it. And it doesn't get any better as you rank up either. It's because the 'max health stat' is fucked.

 

To make matters worse R* have just outright lied and said that the stat is working and that the things popping up on the screen is just a 'display error' when in fact that is complete horse shit.

I'm hearing more and more about ridiculous bounties and people with billions of dollars in online, so I'm sure people have figured out how to do it.

 

Would suck if you got banned or thrown in the cheating pool for it :/

That's really depressing. If you want, send my gt a message asking for an invite and I'll do some jobs with you. There's a mission you can replay that gives about 1800 experience and 12k money that we can do if you still need help.

Just sent a message and thank you SO much for the offer! :)

 

I think I need to join a crew. Finally decided to go back to the multiplayer setting online (instead of a solo invite-only session) and I lost half of my money within two minutes. Basically, I spawned, someone shot me before I could take two steps, I respawned, they ran me over, I respawned, they ran me over again, I respawned, they shot me, I respawned, they ran me over AGAIN. That last time I didn't die right away, so they kept me pinned under their car while they reversed and drove forward repeatedly over my body.

 

Mind you - the whole time this was going on I was TRYING to send myself to another session.

 

This is seriously unreal. My death/kill ratio is now at .30 because I don't even have enough money to buy bullets so I can fight back. I do NOT suck this badly at games!! I just keep having rotten luck, like today spawning pretty much right on top of a bloodthirsty asshole. In the two minutes I was in that session, I didn't even get 10 steps from my original spawn point.
