Going online right now btw, if anyone cares to join. Did a job for Lester last night and got $30,000. Also, there is a car thats like an SUV with a distinct silver strip along the side. Sell it in mint condition for $9000. Stock up your garage with them to periodically sell them for $9000 a time.

Maybe it was a mission that was discarded but some of its code remained.
And I have to go out soon. The internet has been gay lately. Halo and Battlefield was bad, I'd hate to see how GTAO looks with this house's lag spikes. |

Maybe. Would that glitch into free roam?
That $30,000 mission from Lester is now paying out $15,000. I'm assuming because it was my second time doing it but Rooftop Rumble still pays handsomely so maybe R* just tweaked the money. |

Speaking of money, does anyone know how the money for custom races etc is calculated? I had a race that I made with one check point. You raced from the airport to the Vinewood Bowl with no fixed route. It pays a little over $700.
I thought it might be the number of check points rather than distance that calculates money so I made a race using the maximum number of check points but the money was no better. |

My mental state shot up by about a bar when I wasn't even playing. Also money vanished from my ingame bank. I thought that happened a few weeks ago when I robbed a view convenience store and the money vanished when I played next time but I wasn't sure. Now I know it's happening.

Beat this last week. Enjoyed it, but I feel like there could have been so much more.
Taking care of my Under the Bridges and Stunt Jumps to get 100% and the trophies that go with it. Followed by my combination of 70 gold medals. |

I think they patched it already too. I can't get the hooker to still be in the car when I go into my garage.

Plus, I've never glitched or bought a Shark Card but I'm still doing pretty well.
I've got the most expensive apartment in the game and a house in Paleto Bay. 10+ customised cars, including a Turismo R I've really souped up. Every available item of clothing. Something like 98% of the available guns with a lot of upgrades and ammo to go with them. I've still got over half a million in my ingame bank which I'm saving up for my biggest purchase. I'm doing fine without the glitches. I do consider myself a "Bounty Hunter" in the game, including Lesters random assassination missions. So it does add up pretty quickly. |

I've never bought a shark card myself. As far as glitching goes, I've only done a DNS modded lobby once with just one of my friends. Ranked up 40 times in that 20 minutes. Mostly just by pissing the cops off and then hiding in the subways. Each time we lost the cops, we gained like 8 ranks.
Moneywise, I ran over a pedestrian and picked up almost 2 million dollars during that session. Then I reset my DNS back to normal and cleared the cache and things were normal for about 3 weeks. I then unknowingly spawned in a modded lobby after a race and someone gave me 14 billion, then someone else gave me another 20 million. Rockstar then redid everything, removed modded monies, ranks, etc. All but $50,000 was taken from me and they dropped my rank to 74, which was about 20 higher than what I had before the modding, etc. Now, I'm sitting at 77 or 78 with a little over $100,000 in the bank. I sold my Roosevelt (that mafia car thing) and bought a slew of weaponry and the Paleto Bay house. It's actually a little more enjoyable to play now. |

Yeah, the earning of money to buy specific things is what makes the game enjoyable for me. Up until very recently, my motivation was buying all the clothing. I have everything I want and, with no one from TPWW playing online, I'm losing enthusiasm for online.
We're about the same rank. I'm seventy-something. |

Oh, something hilarious from a fairly recent session. I was in a private session with my son (12) and some kid he knew (about 9 years old or so). He was bragging how his parents had just gotten him two Shark Cards just so he could buy a million dollar car, or something. My son immediately started whining to me about how his parents buy him EVERYTHING and why can't he get cards like that, etc. I said it was because he wasnt a SPOILED FUCKING BRAT like the other kid apparently was. IMMEDIATELY, the other kid flips out then I can hear, what I believe was either his mother or some other relative, yelling at him for yelling then at me for what I had said.
Was probably one of the funniest things that's ever happened to me on GTA Online thus far. |

But yeah, I wish more TPWW folks were on when I'm on. The biggest problem I think are different timezones. Right now, for me, it's about 4:40AM EST and I've gotta drag off to work. I'm gonna be on this afternoon/evening around 5:30pm.

I don't talk online because I can't be bothered with kids yelling at me. You can usually tell they're kids when you take them down for a bounty and they spend the next 45 minutes constantly trying to kill you. At least, I hope they're kids. I don't want to believe an adult would take me claiming a bounty on them so personally that they'd go into a near hour long rage.

I've done a few random events and none of them have rewarded me. I know some don't reward you immediately but I'm starting to wonder if something has gone wrong because days have passed and I've done missions since but I've not heard any more from any of the random people I helped.

they're pretty random, from what I've noticed. I get phonecalls repeatedly in some sessions, then I might go a whole session without getting any calls at all.

I meant in story mode. I saved someone from enemies and I got someone else away to safety and I got someone else home from a place they didn't want to be. Not one of them paid me or called me later to offer stocks or services. Three random events.

A lot of the random encounters are meant to work like that. You pass a certain area of the map and you might see one person in need of help or you may even come across a cop or cops dealing with a criminal or group of criminals. I know for sure those re-spawn in the same area every time, just not sure what the reset interval is. Obvious case in point: up in Paleto Bay the armored car usually only shows up once a week before resetting each time.
It should go without saying but it also may seem to happen if you do the Strangers and Freaks stuff. Took my dumb ass like 15 seconds to go from playing as Trevor who I'd been using to collect all the spaceship parts to remembering, oh, yeah, I've gotta switch to Franklin and wait for the guy to call Franklin. |

The ones I did weren't the repeating ones like the mugger or armoured truck. They were unique ones. Like the one I got not long after first playing the game. A guy asked me to help him out as a random event. He text me a while later saying he owned the Ark pet store and was giving me some stock.
I assumed the three I mentioned above were that kind of deal but it seems not. |

Finished the story about a week ago. I found the ending very satisfying. It's a shame we wont get story DLC.
They need to do something to make online interesting again. I've lost all desire to play it now. In news, there is a new mod going about that allows players to have their character "rape" (as that seems to be how people refer to it) your character by having their character snap to your back, with their pants down, and use an ingame doggy style sex animation on you. After that's done, all your character does is dance like a stripper. Luckily I haven't stumbled across it but it does put me off online. I believe that no matter what you do, say or imagine, there is someone, somewhere who would get off to it. So I'm sure someone, somewhere is using that mod with their pants down and I'd rather not help them out. |

I think the real story is that people care enough about the online game to mod it at all.

nope, I think it's all open once you're introduced to each character. Or it's open from the get-go. Been a long while since I've started a new game.

You can still pick up hookers in the game, so you're really not waiting.
