GTA V Official Thread - GTA Game Disscussion

You did very well Cobalt, no noobishness about your performance. There can be a few surprise hits in the survivals from characters that don't show up on the maps, I've been killed very quickly in them some times. The assassination mission was fun. I was getting reefed out of it too by enemies. And when we stole the chopper I got blacklisted by Merry Weather. Buncha a pansys all huffy about their chopper.

Favorite thing to happen this weekend, doing the assassination mission with Cobalt while we had the chopper. Sent him a message while hovering over the house, "Jump?" he fires back "Do I have a Parachute?" My first thought was "Jump and find out?" then I figured I'd tell him that he should have one for getting in the chopper. Either way that was about to be proven. He did. The conversation seemed funny to me.

I got into a mission where someone was just Team Killing me cause he couldn't get into my personal car. I stood there and took it till he left. The guy that was helping him and laughing about it was all "Okay we won't kill you now oLiam0." So I decided to help them with the mission. Killed so many and kept the team alive they were sending me friend requests. I sent a message back saying I don't add douchebag players who team kill or gang up on other gamers. They then spent the rest of the time in free mode trying to kill me. I was killing them every time they came for me. Eventually they left me alone and avoided me so I left them alone and avoided them.

Also I apparently hold a world record in a race. I have no idea what race... Think I was using compact cars.

No, they just won't deliver me helicopters or ammo if I request it for a while. It was my first time using them.

You will soon enough. I got it early enough. Never really found it necessary for me to ring them. Until I remembered they rang me and said that the "air taxi/lift" is now available to me.

I killed the pilot and took the chopper for myself while me and Cobalt were on a mission. Trevors missions so far are paying out decently as well.

It's a $1,000 per person I think.

I'll try it out with Trevor later see if it does let you attempt it. Wonder if they will open up Vigilante type missions and firetruck missions and ambulance missions like they do for Taxi down the road.

ive never taken anyone there, but i have driven a vehicle over there gates and into their base...they didnt like it so i killed them all

Well, I started the experiment this morning by shooting a cab driver in the nuts and stashing his car in my garage.. I will see tonight if you get a decent amount of moneys for random peeps.

On that subject, do you have to/can you respray the cab to keep using it without the cops chasing you? Or does the heat die off anyway?

Played some last night. Went to Vinewood hoping to improve my personal car, and the cops took exception to that. Spent quite a while chasing me, and I didn't even find a very good car.(Hoping to find one of those Adders I can use in races. Are there some cars you just have to buy?) I managed a small calm spot and was about to make a break for it again when another player lands a helicopter near me. I hop in and we take off. I send him a message thanking him for the timely rescue as we fly off toward the military base. He attempts to land inside and we are immediately shot to death. lol

My mission becomes clear. Get in the base. That guy leaves the session, and I spend a long time running around the outside of the base, get in a race there a that gives me back my car, and attempt to rush the gates. Only they don't open like they do in single player. I have an immediate 4 star wanted level. I manage to dodge them for quite some time before deciding to try rushing the other gate. This time my car explodes even though I hadn't taken that much damage.

So, I respawn nearby again, and inside a few moments someone else spawns next to me. I wait around a bit until he moves and start following him. Seems he wants inside the base too. On the way there I notice a rise in the land. I run for a car a long ways down the road and then pick him up. After a couple false starts we're up and over the fence. And back at a 4 star. I drive like mad, keeping out of reach of their trucks and choppers. Tried hiding in a hanger, but it seems that as long as you're on base you're still committing a crime, so the wanted level doesn't decrease. Back to the running. Eventually a jet spawns, and my partner in crime hops out to snag it. No dice. The heat's on him too fast, and it explodes. RIP, buddy.

The case is back on for a while until I see another jet sitting on the runway. The soldiers are all fairly far away from me, so I decide to risk it. Only, there's a soldier in this jet. In fact, it appears to be in "flight", just hovering above the surface. If must be glitching, but if it can turn and shoot me I'll be toast. And begin to turn it did. So, I took the only option left to me. I attempt to highjack it. Up I go, onto it and opening the cockpit. I'm a bit stunned. Is this actually going to work, stealing a jet that's technically in flight? No. No it isn't. I start to go into the "tossing the victim from the vehicle" animation and it drops me through the jet instead. But it does seem to have some effect.. The jet is now partially unstuck and swinging toward me. I take off running a little ways, expecting to be shot in the back at any second, but as it turns the wing clips the ground. Boom.

Amazingly enough, the beaten and battered station wagon I'd been driving around survives the blast, though the whole right side isn't looking too good. The trucks are catching up now. I jump in thinking that the thing will probably blow up with the next bullet, but not having any other options. Another couple of minutes around the base, and I can see another jet spawn, this time an unoccupied one. It's now or never. I open up some space between me and the heat, but start hearing explosions. I assume they've finally called in tanks, but don't see them anywhere. No matter. I make it to the jet and begin hopping in.

Out of nowhere, another jet flies in and shoots mine with rockets. It was another player, not even one I had been anywhere near, let alone knew who it was. Keep alive against a 4 star rating for about 15 minutes or so, but then someone decides to just blow me up for no reason.

Or was it for no reason? I haven't seen mention of it, but is this game like RDR where you can become a sort of "most wanted" criminal that everyone else might try to kill?

No notification, so that must've been it.
Oh, well. Win some, lose some.

Guess I'll have to save up some money. Should probably look into a garage too. Only managed to save up around 50K at the moment.

Another bit of weirdness yesterday. I was in a Survival match, and we'd made it up to the fifth round. 3 of us were still alive, when we suddenly got the failure message and it ended. Guessing maybe the host quit out or lost connection.
