    Wasnt the online rushed? Rockstar really have fecked up with the online, though I still get enjoyment from it they need to sort it out.

    Totally agree.

    I'm no spring chick. I have played GTA from 2d days and started out on C64 for gaming. Went on to 3rd level IT, so come at this from that angle.

    Rockstar had 5 years to develop V and I was genuinely excited to see the final result. I love the game but I am disheartened by the online meltdown.

    I blame microtransactions and Rockstar for turning their backs on the joyful irreverence of the original game.

    They lost the balance and they are paying the price with very pissed off CUSTOMERS

    Anyone using this hack is an asshole, end of story.
    The game is a pointless waste of time now.

    Dude, this game has been developed in such a way as to make hacking inevitable. Get over it.

    Get over it???
    Why should I get over it? I went on earlier and somebody was putting 4 star wanted levels on me for the whole game, giving me billions of dollars, killing me while invincible, firing missiles at me from the sky without a helicopter.

    I won't be playing it anymore because of this. There's just no point.
    The people exploiting the game are assholes, get over it.

    My apols. Did not mean to personalize.

    I have given up playing online for much the same reasons.

    We are a long way from the LSC glitch now.

    If Rockstar take my billions, I will be very upset, think I may have to go and buy all the bugatti's that I can and store them in my garage until I can resell them if they take all the money I have!

    And to add to that, buy the most expensive property again, I quite like the richards majestic one!

    Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done. These people ruin it for everyone, they are sad individuals. Hopefully rock star can get a hold and ban the lot of them, RP cheats should be easy to expose.

    Cant sell high end cars, only thing I can of is launder your money, mod cars from the street and sell them, hopefully they see it as normal earned money and let you keep it.

    I thought the same but for some reason I can sell Adders to LSC for
    600k a piece.
    I got my second character up to level 5 yesterday and put 10 Adders in her garage for safe keeping.
    You never know.

    Reddit posters reporting bans, mainly high end DNS users, no proof other than a screenshot to say they are banned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 712 ✭✭✭SweepTheLeg


    Went on the first time in a few weeks to find billion dollar bounties, invincible players and all sorts of other crap.

    Guess the online is ruined now, nice one R*

    I was gifted $250m a few days ago but I'm only like rank 21. Was playing free roam and there were people who weren't showing on the map in tanks and were invincible, I even watched a guy in a chopper hit the tank with rockets and nothing.

    There were numerous others that you couldn't hit etc etc etc


    SIGH.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,819 ✭✭✭Benzino


    Sniped a guy in a tank for the first time yesterday, shouldn't happen but boy is it fun!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,123 ✭✭✭KwackerJack


    As soon as they sort this out it will be fun again.

    At least then Crews can work together properly.

    It does work like that, sniper rifle and grenades are best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    Is the next update due tomorrow?

    It's gotta be a bug, sure a tank should be bulletproof, no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    No not at all, sure, you can even destroy a tank with enough light sniper shots. Obviously it's nice to snipe someone out of their tank, but it's quite fun just plucking away at them with the sniper and watching the black smoke start to emanate from the chassis, and eventually it crumbles into pieces!

    Are you using the upgraded rifle? They have armour piercing.

    Was doing loads of fly bys trying to get a guy in a tank with the jet.
    Wasn't working so parachuted out and landed on top of the tank, 2 sticky bombs placed and goodnight! Must have been damaged a good bit already

    If you were on top of it sure you might as well have just dragged him out of it and took it yourself.

    Seems to be lots of people on here annoyed with the online cheats/play. I havent even opened the game box yet but im unsure if ill go online at all now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,527 ✭✭✭✭Darkglasses


    I've actually never come across a hacker/glitcher yet. Certainly haven't been given any free money.

    To be fair I spend most of my time in races and survivals, rarely hang around free mode. I normally last all of 15 seconds before I get clipped. I just want to mess around with vehicles, I'd like if they could set up some servers for people who just want to mess around rather than constant drivebys or whatever.

    Ah, I think I am alright! That must be it so!

    They're only in free mode as far as I know. I've served my time building up my cash and rp so that I can compete in free mode with decent weapons and vehicles should I need them. That's all been negated by stupid stuff like invincible mode and to a lesser extent all the free billions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    Free mode is great, just waiting on capture screen to load

    I don't like going around in tanks, removes the fun aspect for me. Being indestructible that is.

    Yeah but there's nothing more satisfying than pulling someone out of their own tank and relentlessly killing them over and over every time they spawn when they have just been trolling everybody else with it :pac:

    True enough! Should remember that for the next time someone is going around in a tank :P I don't even know how people get a hold of them!
