The One Who Knocks · 06-08-2014 1:07pm

I think I have about 10k left altogether, glitched cash would really come in handy right about now,.. I'd actually be tempted to purchase money otherwise, grindings just not my thing.

Skullface McGubbin · 06-08-2014 2:03pm

Let's hope the long awaited heists will have large enough payouts and provide a legit alternative to money glitches. Well, it actually still wouldn't stop people from money glitching but hey, at least it will be another way to make money legitimately.

TacoMan · 06-08-2014 2:08pm

I don't think the money glitchers are all bad. I like the fact that the modded cash gives the two fingers to R* and their mentally overpriced "Shark Cards".

On the other hand we have the destructive troll hackers. The clowns who spawn in god mode, neutralise your weapons and kill you over and over. The clowns who spot you in a jet and make it just explode in the sky for no reason. The clowns who spawn giant rocks and flying saucers in your path during a race. These fools are ruining the game worse than the money glitchers imo.

(donning a tinfoil hat for a moment) I think R* only ever intended to release heists on next gen (to be one of the main selling points) and the cash modders are giving them a perfect excuse to stick to their plan. Once next gen GTA comes out all modded cash gets zapped, everyone left with $150k. Casino / heists open along with some new vehicles/property and hey presto, Shark Cards are once again the only way to afford these items.

There's a possibility that heists could be dubious money-wise also. They will (hopefully) be a lot of fun to play, but I have a sneaking suspicion the take home pay will not be all its cracked up to be. You may have to pay for the services of various NPC interactions (hackers or various experts that Lester drafts in), there may even be an entry fee to launch the heist. Perhaps a heist will only launch if 6 players join and overall profit divided up by 6, rather than let's say 3 players attempting it for a better payout.

I don't think R* will shoot themselves in the foot by making the payouts for heists so high that they neutralise the shark cards.

Rumours abound on Reddit that glitched money is beginning to reappear. There's a thread called "There is 900,000 in my bank and I have no idea how it got there." in the GTA V Reddit section.

I've saved up around 500-600k in preparation for the next update, but I wonder if a glitcher drops a billion in my account, will R* discover this and zap my account back to 150k regardless of what was earned legally? It would be good to get a load of money and buy everything possible for both characters, but it would suck bad if R* zap everyones account back to 150k again just as they release a new update with some $1m "must-have" vehicle.

It's all speculation at this stage, and I'll wait until more reports start appearing, but if the money glitchers are back, what do you do? Report them and hope R* don't zap your account, or accept the glitched money and spend like a lunatic until R* come along and spoil the party?

When I was "gifted" billions before I had about 50k in my bank. When rock star took it away I was left with 600k. Plus I kept everything I bought. this included a 10 car garage at weasel plaza and two super cars. It was actually fun. it set me up with a nice sum to build on and made the game more enjoyable. i didn't have a crappy car, i didn't have a crappy paint-job. I wasn't automatically last in races because i was using cars with no upgrades.

Plus I wasn't too rich that i had nothing to work for.

Hacker in the session. They can also spawn themselves in "god mode" making them invincible. They can destroy any vehicle you are in (usually jets/buzzards), empty all your ammo, and worse case scenario they can empty your bank account. My advice would be to take a nice photo of the flying saucer, report the hacker and switch session. These guys are a nuisance and there seems to be a lot of them recently after their hacking tool got fixed. They are proper trolls and do all this solely for their own amusement. I always get a vision of Brendan Grace in Fr. Ted whenever I encounter one of these clowns - "I blew up your jet and took all your money! I had my fun, and that's all that matters!"

There are also money hackers around (although I haven't encountered one since the "hack tool fix"). If you get gifted a lot of money for no reason spend it quick. R* will eventually discover you have received glitched money and remove it. Any assets you bought with the money should be ok though.

Veloce · 08-08-2014 5:04pm

The above really explains some weird sh!t that has been happening in my last few sessions. That ferris wheel down in the promenade, the whole wheel was in the in the middle of the city one evening. I was like WTF!

Anyone on tonight? I'm going on after 11 I reckon, not played in nearly a week I'm having withdrawal symptoms!

Randomfriend · 08-08-2014 8:31pm

Might be on for a bit tonight!

Just had the sh**test experience so far in gta5.

I accepted an invite for the mission "rooftop rumble". For anyone who knows it it pays very well for a short amount of work so I usually always accept invites to it. So I join and these three English pr**ks are trying to boast about who has the bigger manhood or whatever. The mission starts and two of them decide to start verbally abusing me and chanting my username. I ignore them anyway. I don't have a mic so I just toggled mute for the both of them. For those who know the mission there are basically two parts, shoot the guys in the garage then collect the package and deliver it to madraso. We did the first part within a minute and one of the guys picked up the package and then they all just tore off towards the destination. No biggy so I just thought I'd leave them to it and raced around the street for a few minutes waiting on them to finish it off.

I then get a notification that the other members are voting to kick me from the game and that I better chance my ways.!!! I turned on the audio for the others again and hear them sniggering and saying "yea let's boot him" just as they are parked outside madraso's house. I'm then booted and no pay day despite are spending over 3k on ammo. I don't mind getting booted at the start of a mission but to do it at the end out of spite is just disgraceful.

I hear ya man, I've had a few bad experiences but that is rough. It can be very depressing when you encounter people like that. I played a deathmatch recently, was just using small guns to try increase their stats, the others were using RPGs, so I ended up with 2 kills and they all ended up with 20. I then get a message from one of them saying "****IN NOOB" - trivial enough now and I don't mind being called names but knowing that such a twat actually exists can get me down and put me off playing for a while.

I'm sorry,
But I know I'm not the only one who lolled

C.M_jc · 09-08-2014 4:20pm

The last time I was online there were some dubious races but I'd say TacoMan found three of the most frustrating ones there. :pac:

PS froze on that last race too.

Sorry, TacoMan! I was kicked three or four times and it wouldn't connect me to some of those invites at all. The one it did, my PS froze at the end. I'm leaving it at that for tonight.

Good laugh yesterday though. I'd recommend everyone try that wall race with stock coupes in the rain. :pac:

The wall race with the stock coupes was torture, I thought it would never end

After the playlist finished we headed to freemode and the strangest things started happening. The map was not showing any jobs or other players. The select menu was not working either. Calls to Lester/Merryweather just rang out. Pressing down on the dpad to show the list of players wasn't working either. We were driving around and all of a sudden the car disappeared then reappeared a few feet away. I eventually died but did not respawn. By this stage it froze my PS3 and I called it a night. I really hope this was a game bug and not some hacker idiot at work cos the game was completely unplayable.

When online actually loaded last night I appeared in my apartment garage as usual but after a few seconds my vehicles just vanished. Then some female character appears on the far side of the garage and starts running at me like something out of a horror film. I don't think I've ever left a session as fast.
