Grand Theft Auto Online (a.k.a. Frankie's Glitching Songs Thread)

Ahh, nice one. I’ve probably just never noticed it then.

So there is a catch: you only get $50,000 for each mission the very first time you do them. Not sure if the same applies to 'all in order'. You also get an additional $100,000 for completing all of them and another $100,000 for being the host.


Side note regarding heists and leadership: Many of you are probably past the drama of heist planning but for me, as a "newish" player to online, the drama is still very new and today I completed the Pacific Standard heist and got my All in Order 1 mil bonus but it was not without stress sadly.

In doing so I learned to appreciate the fact that my parents did not spoil me growing up. To elaborate, within the past two weeks I've broken my online gaming rule for the platinum trophy and played with someone under 18 (he's 16). During a casual conversation he told me that his parents gave him $200 for his birthday. I remember thinking at the time that I never had it that good when growing up and then quickly learned to value my parents' restraint.

Throughout every heist he was an absolute nightmare. When he wasn't being impatient during ammo and armour runs he was constantly demanding that I up his share. Even when the other members tried to explain to him why the leader tends to take more i.e. leaders get no money in the set ups and have to pay the set up fee he still didn't care.

In the end the others offered to give their entire share to him at one point just to shut him up which he was more than happy to take with no guilt whatsoever, and I straight up told them no - that they'd all be paid equally, including the spoiled brat (which was more than he deserved).

However, for the Pacific Standard the little twit decided to bitch about money again just before the split and call me "mean" for not taking money out of other people's pockets and giving it to him during the previous heists. :rolleyes: It was then that I decided enough was enough and only gave him 10% (and as you know that's a potentially very low cut for PS considering how much money you can lose, even lower if on anything below Hard but we did it on Hard difficulty). He whined, "but I didn't do anything!" without a shred of self-awareness. :rolleyes:

He shut up once he realised my decision was final and learned to bite his tongue whenever he was about to say anything douche-y but after we completed the job he then proceeded to ask one of the other members if they can drop him $30,000! Thankfully, this member who had been so chill throughout politely told him no, perhaps realising that pandering to spoiled behaviour even if you don't need the money is not a good idea.

If this demanding twit had not been so rude and impatient throughout and constantly mocking me for my hacking skills all the way back during the Fleeca job I would have been more than happy to give him a bigger cut. Regarding the Fleeca job, it was my first time doing the drill role and the maze hacking admittedly wasn't my strong suit. Still, I kept quiet despite him dying and failing every mission we did thereafter... I straight up told him that him bagging on me for the hacking (which I successfully completed btw) was a deflection from his own faults and he promptly stopped going on about it.

My only regret was that I didn't take more of his cut and give it to the others for all the other heists as they were so gracious and classy throughout. The sad part is we had an overall skilled group and got through all the heists fairly quickly (with the exception of Pacific Standard which was a nightmare) despite the few times the spoiled brat failed them. His attitude really soured the heists for me but I didn't want to kick him as we had been helping each other with missions up until the heists and felt I owed him a degree of loyalty.

Anyway, it's over and I'm glad to know the Doomsday heists only require 2 people. He certainly won't be the other one.

So a little trick for those wanting to host casino missions WITHOUT purchasing a penthouse:

Join any casino missions as a member because any casino mission you do comes up in your job list (jobs > rockstar created > casino mission titles) where you're able to host any missions you have already completed and get your $100,000 bonus for being the leader.

How do I host the casino mission loose chaeng? Every time i walk into the point it puts me in a game with someone else hosting

I've found, although I have nothing to prove this, that you stand a better chance of doing so from your job list as my friend found himself in the same situation as yours whenever he walked into the point.

I got up to Play to Win last night hosting before going to bed via my job list. The first three missions I was host right away. PTW took a few tries (with some high levels leaving immediately upon seeing a host because they were trying to do the same ) but I got there eventually.

Finally got the platinum. Not as rewarding as Red Dead Redemption 2 but still fun. Will probably get most, if not all of the DLC trophies too as I have a few but after that I'm done with the game. I've seen all I need to see and like RDR2 it's too grindy to hold my interest long term, especially when you have a game like Destiny 2 which does a brilliant job of masking its "grind" with constant rewards and a far more pleasant community.
