I really do think online is full of utter, utter pricks. Crew members, randoms - all complete fucktards. Try doing missions and end up having to most of the stuff myself with very little help and some act like complete dumbasses. Think it may just be best off forgetting GTA Online full-stop!

Anyone else think that Online is largely 'dead'? Still get half-decent free roam lobbies, but considering the crew I'm part of has roughly 300 members (OPCE crew), I hardly see anyone from the same crew online anymore. Makes missions etc awkward as I only rarely get other joining missions I'm hosting and when I do get people joining they either a.) don't have a clue what they're doing, b.) fanny around instead of actually doing the mission, or c.) leave after the mission has started leaving me in the lurch. Only way I can get a decent game is by using the 'quick job' feature but even that sometimes has its flaws (i.e people leaving matchmaking 'open' but kicking me when I join). I know its turned into a bit of a rant, just seems frustrating trying to get some decent game time!

Well that was a waste of time! They fucked it up, said they were "working on it" but just abandoned it anyway!

I'll simply be calling it 'Twatts Towers'

Have to admit I'm really starting to dislike races. Been doing a few in an attempt to unlock stuff at LS Customs but if something happens during the race such as a pile up, its always me that ends up worst off! Also noticed a glitch in one of the races where a few others managed to set off before the actual countdown begun.

Excellent! Can't complain at all that for free.

Just had my $250k come through. Now to spend it....

Came across that one myself last night but ended up smashing it up after a disastrous short cut.

I think what I dislike the most now is the amount of completely stupid people I come across! Some people have absolutely no common sense as I've experienced things like: * When being a passenger in someone's vehicle and them driving straight into the heart of a gunfight/enemies therefore getting killed in an instant (so now I normally get into my own vehicle and drive to the location myself unless I'm playing with certain crew members who I know aren't stupid). * People unable to do simple tasks such as collecting a vehicle (especially when there's two to collect) and unable to think which way they should drive, therefore taking an age to get the vehicle. * One instance yesterday where I was using a car for cover whilst I was picking off some drug dealers in Blaine County and one of the other players decided to take that car to chase down another drug dealer, therefore making me a 'sitting duck'. * People who are too thick to realise how to get into Fort Zancudo (when you don't have a helicopter/plane) and instead run around the perimeter fence! I know its easy to say 'just play with crew members/friends' but some of these instances have involved them.

"And I know exactly where they'll drive to to try and escape us!"

Got a bit of a predicament. One of my fellow crew members is a troll (deliberately kills, or tries to kill me) and also places a bounty on me whenever I enter a session with him. Anyway, I want to prevent having to join the same session as him so is there anyway to block him even though we're part of the same crew? I'd prefer not to leave the crew as I have done plenty of missions with a number of 'fair' players.

Really? I've claimed at least a dozen cars, the worst I get is it sometimes comes back in stock condition after it gets blown up *Cough*Analog*Cough* If that happens constantly I'd report it to R*, I thought I lost my Carbonizzare cause of this and I nearly quit GTAV for good. Afraid so. Called them after I ended up in the water (therefore 'destroying' it) and phoned them a few times but same thing each time. I definitely did insure it because I always remember to buy it each time I customise it.

Mors Mutual Insurance - what's the point in this? I buy it for all my cars and one of them I ended up destroying/wrecking. Call Mors Mutual Insurance and all I get is "all our operators are on call right now..." so I can't get a replacement, so therefore I've lost it along with all the customisations.

Takes a few times to get back online (had to go out before). Don't think I'm going to risk doing any missions etc as it constantly comes up with 'saving failed' so will stick to fannying around.

Anyone else getting the 'Rockstar cloud servers not available' message? EDIT: Forget that - back on now.

Its certainly a great looking car! Can't beat a good muscle car IMO although I'm aiming to have a good variety of cars in my garage

Just got the 7 vehicles at the moment - one of them I might just sell off.

Not been such a great night for me - hardly any other crew members online it seems so forced to play with randomers and I encountered its draw backs.... Twice I got kicked by other players for no real reason (other than perhaps pettiness). First I got kicked from a race - I was in 3rd place with only about 2/3 checkpoints to go (5 others quite a way behind me) and also got kicked from a survival mission during the 3rd wave despite making my fair share of kills (even got the most on the 2nd wave). Really fucking annoying and I really wish it wasn't possible to kick people in those kind of situations (free roam and co-op missions I can understand if someone is being a dick)

Looking bare so far... Finally got an invite to someone's apartment (incidentally the same as mine)

Cheers for the heads up. Think I earned enough to keep me happy! Bought a few customisations for one of my vehicles, but think I'll hold off spending anymore money (well high amounts).

Glad I took the 'risk' - doing it now and have got $600k so far (at time of writing). Could only get the value of the bike upto $14.5k as I'm only rank 30 so still a lot of customisations to unlock. Does it only work for this bike or can you do it for any other car/bike?

Does this still work? Few comments on that Youtube vid saying its been 'patched' although that might be a case of them being stupid. Might give it a bash later...

This depends on if you've got members of your crew high enough, but I find the best way of ranking up and earning some decent cash is to play missions that I haven't unlocked yet (i.e a higher rank crew member has started/hosting the mission). I've been lucky that a couple of higher ranked crew members (about rank 40 +) regularly send out invites to their missions which I try to accept wherever possible - tonight I managed to earn $12k in one mission and $18k in another and a decent amount of Xp points.

Shortly before someone claimed the bounty on me (placed by an NPC which I hate). Can't remember who this guy was! Inside Los Santos Customs
