    Mine has been working fine this morning and for the last hour or so, wasn't using it in between though (PS3).

    PSN down again? Sorry Proco, I left right after that survival to watch the match so never sent an invite. Can't sign in now :mad:

    PSN was getting DDoS attacked on and off today.

    Is it back on yet?

    I don't think so, no dlc vehicles appear in the game unless you own them AFAIK.

    Yep. I was able to sign in earlier anyway.
    Actually no, just tried again and I'm getting that 807... error.
    Tried again and got on at 8.25.

    I was chasing him around the map earlier for maybe 5 minutes, he was in his Adder & me in Turismo R. Just chasing, no shooting or sticky-bombs, just an innocent hassling =] I follow him up to the golf club where he jumps into one of the import/export cars for Simeon & takes off towards LSC with the cops chasing him. The car is the Hummer type thing so I catch him easily, lob a sticky-bomb on the back and leave him to disappear into the distance. He was just about to get the car resprayed when I set off the bomb. He wasn't amused.

    I park up on top of the building overlooking LSC, he respawns, calls for his Adder, and is hovering nearby when he goes off radar. I put the foot down & started driving towards the racecourse. When he pops back up on the map he's chasing me now. Fair enough, I'll play - but he's useless in the car. Can't drive a block without crashing, can't take a corner without knocking chunks out of the scenery & he's slow as hell. I have to basically park up every few minutes to let him catch up. He eventually gets tired of chasing my shadows & I see him head off towards the heliport on the mini-map, so I wait for him to take off, go off radar myself, drive to the heliport & cover his parked Adder with sticky-bombs. Then it's quickly to the carpark under one of the skyscrapers before I'm back visable.

    He's not much better in the chopper. I dart from tunnel to carpark etc around the city teasing him while he tries to shoot missiles under bridges & around corners. After about 15 minutes (seriously) avoiding his chopper I send him a message "Kaboom" & blow the stickys on his car. Again, he fails to see the humour.
    At this stage I'm parked in the car-park near the movie studio, he crashes the chopper trying to get it into the carpark & kills himself. He starts sending me messages calling me a coward for running away from him, although I'm about 85% sure if I was parked stationary in the middle of the airport runway with flashing lights on the roof of my car he'd still have failed to hit me with a missile from the chopper. He gets his Adder back from insurance and drives up to the 3rd floor of the carpark where I am. I was writing a reply & didn't see him coming til the last minute but he took too long deciding what to do & I drove off down the ramp into the carpark. I threw a couple of stickys behind me & sure enough he followed right behind - kaboom take 2.

    Right about here you joined the session. I'd been chasing him & been chased for about 20-25 minutes at this stage - I wasn't going mad or anything - killed him twice, blown his car twice & I think he killed himself once when he crashed the chopper. He started getting into it with you then too, but you were destroying him. Constant messages, just trying to rile me up I guess. The whole time we were in that session with him he was sending me messages, so that was another 5-10 minutes at least. All I said back was that he wasn't good enough to catch me, which was true. He got me a few times after my car mysteriously exploded (!) and then went into passive mode, walked up to me & started taking photos with his phone! We left the session soon after that.

    Must have been a hacker. :o

    When I joined I did see him go up the car park after you. At this stage I wasn't sure whether ye were friends - I'm looking through my sniper, see you going down the ramp, few seconds later Ivan follows and boom. All goes to plan for the next few minutes until I used all my stickies on him and resort to throwing grenades in his direction. Accidentally throw one in front of our path ... <sorry!>

    You respawned in front of him so I made it easy for him. About 30 seconds later everyone - bar one - in the session "left" which gave me a chance to go to Ammunation. Eventually managed to get back with you. We were waiting in that spot above LSC with the ramp 'stickied', but I think Ivan had enough.

    I regretted suggesting joining those races afterwards as it wouldn't connect at all and I couldn't get back with you either.

    Got a bollix hacker last night after i got dumped from the playlist. Killed me 3 times, i respawned just as he was driving towards me, unloaded a clip of the AA12 at him and nothing. Hopped off his bike and i put another clip in him as he was flippin me the bird. Got kicked from the session then, and when i managed to get back on, the console froze:mad::mad::mad:

    Same here. I got into the playlist with Phobos & someone but when the race started I was racing alone. I finished the race & quit. Ended up in a session with Phobos & another Boardsie but my phone wouldn't work so I was kinda stuck in free roam. I think my game froze not long after & I called it quits for the night.

    Every time I accepted one of Phobos' invites I got those "player is no longer in session" or "failed to connect to game" (something like that) messages and I was put in different lobbies. I tried accepting another one, but this time time it said player is active and I could spectate. Thinking I could join after the race, I did but all I ended up with was some view of the airport. I left soon after as well.

    Usually when you get them messages the person is in the middle of a race or mission.
    If you have them added as a friend on psn, it'll show them on the friend list as GTA ONLINE MISSION or GTA ONLINE RACE.

    I've been lucky to avoid the freezes by and large (a few 5 second freezes here and there though), but I think the PSN issues are to do with ddos attacks on Playstation (why, I have no idea... pissed off God moders? :p). Avoided it yesterday but I can't get online now either.

    Was briefly online earlier and the double pay/rp stuff for flights, parachuting, etc was still there for anyone annoyed over missing out, looks like Rockstar have extended it a bit to make up for the service issues the last 24 hours.

    Watching this video and I think this capture looks cool.

    Set video to 4 minutes 18 seconds

    It seems like whoever is in the jets (real players) just respawn quickly and only one person is in the car. Probably works better when there is a good few doing it.

    Must try it later.

    "Hackers" teleporting around in god mode.

    You cant kill them but they'll kill you repeatedly if you let them.

    Best thing to do is to go into passive mode, report them for exploits, vote to kick them & then change session.

    Just been reading up 1 of our reliable Irish tabloids and it appears along with the hacking on psn, a Sony top man was targeted on a plane with a bomb scare too!
    Not too much detail given

    Bloody playlist freeze , doing a good/tricky playlist with Phobos there and it craps out.

    Its Louis Therouxs LA stories for me!

    That was a decent playlist (before it crashed my PS3). Will be on later to give it another try. It went t!ts up at the 8th race instead of the usual 9th race. Hopefully I won't have to trim my playlists down to 8 races now. :mad:

    That cycling one in the prison was fairly difficult. But if it was easy it would be no craic.

    That motorbike one where you're basically on a titerope was next to impossible. Would like to try it on non-contact . Probably wouldn't be able to finish it (properly) anyway.

    Great playlist in fairness Taco Lad :)

    I dont where ya find them :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,126 ✭✭✭Psychedelic


    They really need to sort out the connection issues once and for all. It's just getting worse and worse over the last few months. Feels like there's only a 50% chance of joining/leaving a mission/race/whatever online without a connection error.

    For those that haven't listened to it, it's only 16 minutes long and it's worth listing to any random 2 minutes. It's painful the hysteria on display. Is Tubridy the only guy between 18 & 50 who has not played GTA?

    I was doing that bmx one in the prison.. no way could I figure out how to finish it :o

    the motorbike one can be done without going over the tightrope.. just go down the cliff on the right cross the bridge and up the other side to the finish line..

    Listened to the first 4 mins of it . First world problems or what.

    If a game has elements that disturb you don't play the facking game!!!!!

    If your 12 and your parents get you an 18s game that's their fault for "warping" your mind.

    I saw mental programmes/films as a kid and I don't suddenly want to go to Cyberdyne and crush a terminator or fire silver coins into a giant spider (IT the clown)

    My point is if your nuts your nuts.

    I mean I'm perfectly normal for example
    I remember when..

    Yeah but wanted to finish it properly otherwise its just a rubbish race.

    The cycling one in the prison is hard (finish line) , you have to get a good run at it. Don't jump the first little bit of the ramp because you'll end up on the main ramp anyway. And jumping the first bit will just slow you down.

    Once your on the second (main ramp to the tower) pull back on the left analog stick so ull be on your back wheel only.

    This greatly increases your speed and gives you the juice to land on top of the tower. Cannot be finished in GTA mode if you land on the balcony of the tower and try to bunny hop over or climb over.

    Can be awkard to get people to join deathmatches, for me anyway.

    I think most if not all have a 4 some 6 player minimum . Had something like the one you played bookmarked (maybe its the same one) but never got to try out no fecker would join. Or wasn't enough players to start .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 954 ✭✭✭TacoMan


    That Armageddon race/capture that Proco posted a few days ago is a good laugh. I played it with another crew member the other day, I'd say its deadly with a few more people. Do any of the aircraft have weapons? My "tactic" was just run for the Zentorno and floor it down to the drop off point.

    I think its a case of just flying into your target.

    Myself & Kesh tested it a couple days ago. It seems like whoever delivers a car to the checkpoint (or whatever its called) wins. If the person in the car dies they respawn in a plane so they can fly back to get another car. Or someone else can hop into a car.
    Its probably a capture best suited to crew only so we can decide who wants to do what.

    It is a good mission/capture but I think whoever is driving the car has the advantage.

    You would want at least 4 players (decent pilots) after the player in the car to succeed / make it fair

    Will give it a go later if there's a few on.


  • Registered Users Posts: 652 ✭✭✭KeshFM93


    Just want to say if you make a playlist beware of adding deathmatches or any mission capture that require a minimum amount of players.

    Reason being you could start off with 5 players and drop to 3 and all of a sudden you can't finish your playlist because you haven't the required amount of players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,247 ✭✭✭Max Mafioso


    I had a go at the Creator a while back and made a Deathmatch if anyone wants to try it out. It's minimum 2 afaik, I'm online at the moment playing it. It's called Mirror Park Mayhem

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,429 ✭✭✭Kenjataimu


    I made a deathmatch as well.

    Seen something like this ages ago but I couldnt find it again so I just made it.

    Windmill Snipers Link so you can bookmark it

    6 player only due to minimal respawn points.

    You respawn on top of a windmill & all you have is the heavy sniper.


    I need to test it properly with a few of ye though.

    EDIT: Half tested it there, really need at least 4 people.
