So the feltzer and primo turn out to drift as good as the futo does. :v:
[QUOTE=Jarokwa;47681547]grinding strength up is a pain and for as far as I know it offers nothing useful, still, I like to fill out bars.
Just one tiny bar of strength to go, then three bars of driving and two of flying and I'm done, nobody needs lung capacity anyway and I'd probably end up drowning more than actually making progress on it.[/QUOTE]
Can you not just keep punching cars to build strength?

IIRC strength makes your punches and attacks with melee weapons do more damage, makes you hit harder in golf and tennis, makes you climb ladders faster, and acts as a DR value when you get hit (reduces damage slightly)
Max strength plus full armor plus bullshark makes you an absolute juggernaut.
Punching cars is an easy way to do it. Take a PV with at least 60% armor to a secluded area and go Street Fighter on it :v:
So if I just went and punched my Insurgent a bunch of times I become the hulk?

I think the car has to actually deform for it to count (as it deforms more the stronger you are), so stuff like the Insugent and Panto don't boost it.

[QUOTE=Jarokwa;47681593]Not sure, I just go to the beach and go on sprint-punch sprees and if I'm lucky I get into a fight with tough guys who take 5-6 punches to KO.
I guess strength does give a few nice bonuses then, thanks for clearing it up.[/QUOTE]
For me, I just start a mission from Gerald (to avoid getting wanted), ran to Vespucci beach and started thwacking pedestrians like you mentioned. IIRC every 20 hits towards a ped that isn't already dead nets you +1% towards strength. Which I would guess is 2,000 punches from empty to max on strength.
That's the long way though, I am also the same guy that placed a rubber-band around my analog sticks with stealth mode enabled during night-time ingame to raise stealth.

[B]-OR- [/B] you could play solo rounds of 9 hole golf to raise your strength, which takes like 10 minutes per game if you're not terrible at golf.

The only time I got the Insurgent to deform was when I did a stress test involving a Train :v:
I swear, the stock durability of certain vehicles always catches me off guard.
Before I even remembered to armor my Z-type, I got T-boned and pinned to a wall by an Insurgent at full speed, and all that resulted were a couple of small dents and a bunch of scrapes. I think my Futo would've exploded :v:
And PVP is back :v:

I did the meth mission that's on the beach. No wanted level, and peds keep spawning.
Man the performance hit of putting armor on your car is pretty noticeable. I'll just go no armor except on already heavy cars.
Speaking of the Z-Type, someone asked if I got mine because of "the glitch". I asked what they meant and apparently... It doesn't have a top speed. It just very gradually keeps going faster and faster until you turn, brake or hit something.
IE, if given enough time and a long enough straight (or relatively straight) line, it can apparently overtake anything. [I]WHAT.
[/I][editline]t[/editline]
Asking more about the specifics of how it works, it seems that something about its traction data in handling.cfg causes an infinite loop at max speed, triggering the acceleration state repeatedly at a rate that's slow enough to be difficult to notice, but still fast enough to overlap the previous call before it expires, so it never stops accelerating as long as you allow it to.
I think I read somewhere that strenght also boosts throwing distance for grenades but no idea if it's true

probably a sideskirt mod overlapping the default model or something
deerinheat was just rdming fp members including me and 2 more.
Guys help i'm running this game with [u]512[/u] mb vram and getting 10 seconds per frame, is it possible to fuck around in the configs and reduce draw distance even more than minimum?

No, but 2 witnesses if I can find them.
You guys gotta get into the habit of hitting F12 should an FPer start RDMing or else I can't do much other than call them out over FP.
Thing is deerinheat is probably an old member and doesn't have his FP name on the list.

He also killed drivebylord (in chat kinda), then shot me when i drove up, tried to kill me again when i came back in passive

I still need to find one and make a KIT look alike.

Okay, I'll send him an SC message. If he doesn't respond he'll be banned.

probably not, they call the minimum vram 1gig
Is anyone else gettting a "Saving failed" error in GTA Online?
So which one of you kicked deerinheat without waiting for my message to go through?
There is a special place in hell for people who start firefights at midtown LSC
Every time I join a lobby it's a 50/50 shot of that thing even being usable, have to drive to one of the ones across town. Ugh.
