cunt rams guy off the road during a race and gets smashed twenty seconds later

Trying to think what's a better way to get enough money for Ruiner 2k, and it seems like vehicle cargo might be the better one. Current double rp/money gamemodes arent that much for a money farm, and having recently completed Blazer Aqua mission I kinda want to buy it too. :v: Even tho you are an easy target in it, it is still quite a fun quad. Neither Blazer Aqua nor Ruiner 2K are spawnable/usable in contact missions/heists, right? I wouldn't expect R* to let me use fun shit I paid millions for on shooty missions.
Spent 1/3 of all I had on a fully upgraded Nero Custom. All I can say is, damn this car is fucking great to drive in stunt races.
There isn't as much to pick from in this class as sports or supers when it comes to racing, but I figure the video might help some who aren't informed on vehicle performance:

Would be nice if they moved the Buffalo variants and the Drift Tampa to this class, they wouldn't be as amazing as the two top cars in the class, but it would somewhat bridge the gap between the Dominator and the Sabre Custom/Pisswasser Dominator.
They really do need a few more muscle cars. Most of those were basically variants of other muscle cars.
So after at least five failed attempts with randoms, I finally got to the point where I was about to complete the Prison Break Heist. We finally managed to get high up enough to jump out, finally I was going to be able to get this done, and I was going to have a fucking hell of a time in celebration once I completed it, and probably wasted the 150K or so I would've gotten, but it would've been worth it.
Suddenly, after the cutscene plays with us all three bailing out of the plane, it says the heist failed because Rashkovsky died, despite being perfectly alive and healthy in the cutscene not even two seconds ago.
Fuck this, man. After that many failed attempts and that much frustration at dealing with randoms, my first actual success gets stomped flat by the game dicking out for no reason at all.
E: This is getting more and more infurating the more I research it. This is apparently an issue that has been there since at least 2015, and it hasn't been fixed.
[B]Two. Years.[/B] And it hasn't been fixed. :incredible:

Reminds me of the time me and a few buddies gave Rashkovsky the plane as it was breaking down, the stage where after a while it'll just stall and not start up.
I'm getting real tired of joining heist teams, being the only one (other than the host) to do every setup mission (looking at you, Series A...), and then the dickwad inviting his friends at the final heist, giving them all 25-30%, and I'm stuck with a measly 5-10%. Fucking christ I want to shove these fuckers balls into blenders and hit frappe.
Good news from the debacle that was the Prison Break heist. Turns out Offense Defense pays a lot, and is a lot more fair with Insurgents instead of Kurumas. You can juke the bastards by driving inbetween narrow spaces of trees and slamming the breaks once you start intentionally skidding out of control. Half the time they'll just barrel straight past you and try to reset their course. And if you're the guy who gets to drive the APC, you can absolutely pulverize them without any difficulty as they run like cockroaches. :buckteeth:
I love it when I spawn a helicopter, and a dumbass NPC immediately slams into it, and the engine starts smoking.

Yeah, O/D is pretty good mode, but pretty much only with Insurgent blockers, Kurumas can hardly catch up to muscle cars and just bumping one isn't enough, only running them completely off track or sticking them top the walls works.

Funnily enough, I think the short hair fitted her the most. Alternatively, look for hair styles that goes over her forehead a bit.
Rocket Voltic is unusable on instance missions(contact missions, heists) right? Same as Blazer Aqua and Ruiner 2k I assume. I don't get why, other than 'no fun allowed' from Rockstar. You get one of the most expensive vehicles in the game and can't use those? And those are legitimate transport vehicles too(except Blazer Aqua is single seat), we can get an armoured Kuruma and that's fine but if I get a hilarious car with a rocket engine it's a nono? I find it stupid :saddowns: Makes me question if I should get RVoltic and Ruiner 2k in the first place. I still want to get them, but them unusable in instances is dumb and sad.

There really isn't any reason for them to restrict special vehicles in missions or even heists. All of the special vehicles are pretty underpowered or just useless in most cases so I can't imagine it'd make things that much easier. Unfortunately, Rockstar restricting things for no reason isn't exactly new so I'd expect even more stupid shit like this later.
Playing same modes that pay well in Online becomes boring, and there are a lot of contact/freemode/organisation missions to pick to just play for fun, does anybody remember good ones, or have some kind of list? Lamar ones were sure cool, because of the storyline they had, and some of the Special Vehicle ones from CEO, just because of gameplay bits.
Is there absolutely no way to share the money from exporting cars with your associates?
[QUOTE=riki2cool;51877429]Is there absolutely no way to share the money from exporting cars with your associates?[/QUOTE]
Doing collections is the only way that your associates won't get completely screwed over. They get paid the collection bonus.
I kind of wish you could at least attempt certain heist setups on your own. Like, yeah. You probably couldn't feasibly do the Prison Break setup where you get Rash's car and grab the inmate schedule due to time sensitivity, but there's no reason I shouldn't be able to at least try to one man the stealing of the plane from the airfield. With the sheer volume of enemies and from multiple angles it'd be extremely difficult, but probably possible with an MG and a Heavy Utility Vest.
Beats instantly failing because some jackass murdered themselves not even ten feet away from the airport because he thought his motorcycle could go through an eighteen wheeler and promptly became a massive stain on the road.
They should've just made it so at certain points, you can just continue the heist when someone dies. You just lose a fourth of the take, or since you get paid by the FIB in the prison break/humane labs heists, the remaining players would get the dead one's cut.
[QUOTE=JerryAnderson;51877600] Heavy Utility Vest..[/QUOTE]
I'm rank 70 in and haven't heard of Utility Vest in-game, but googled it and holy hell. Does the game even tell you about this armor?

To my understanding, not at all. The only reason I know about it is because I went on r/gtaonline and sorted by PSA, and found a somewhat flustered post explaining the joys of it. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, it only works during Heists or Heist Setups.
just got back into GTA after a long break for life stuff and havnt even started the new MC/CEO stuff, im a member of the FP Crew so if anyone is looking for some active/almost everyday Heist stuff or anything hit me up pls!
It would be cool that the next GTA game featured more cars from Coil and made a parody of this
[IMG]http://insideevs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/sexy-tesla.jpg[/IMG]
But with the letters AN4L or something
It would be kinda amusing if they added self-driving cars as a feature with certain Coil cars, maybe it could work like Cruise Control in Saints Row, but with the ability to follow your GPS guide and trying to dodge other cars.
They should re-introduce Vigilante, Paramedic and Firefighter side missions too

And failing miserably on purpose, preferably with running a couple pedestrians during the ride for satire's sake.
Has much changed for online besides a few expansions between late 2015 and now?
I wouldn't mind seeing them add a Model S in a future update, honestly. The first four-door super, with the single best acceleration in the game (aside from the rocket voltic) and great brakes, but due to a long wheelbase, you're forced to almost completely stop for sharp turns, and the top speed is still quite low (<100mph)
As a result, winds up with a similar stop-and-go driving style to the Infernus, except significantly more exaggerated, making it amazing for tight, intricate tracks and city driving, but crap on the highway. You know, just like an actual Tesla :v:

Early 2016 was lowrider shit that nobody really wanted, during the summer we got the CEO stuff and stunt races, in October we got biker stuff, then around Christmas we got the import/export stuff. So yeah, mainly stuff that involves transporting cargo and protecting it from assholes.

Alright, thanks.
The racetrack thing looks really interesting. Saw a video of a racetrack in the sky and it looked a lot more fun than the old street races.
You know, in general I wish there were more cars that felt entirely unique. Anyone who's driven an Infernus, a Blade, a Voltic, a Hotknife or a Pigalle knows what I mean.
I want more extremes, more cars with drastic pros and cons instead of being relatively well-balanced. Something that demands you master its quirks to get the most out of it.
I'm at 800K. Which would make me more money, buying an MC clubhouse business and praying I get into a solo public lobby and nobody fucks me over in the meantime, or get a CEO office and start selling cars after saving up just a little bit more? I have a feeling the car selling would work best because it'll take a lot less time to get paid, thus minimizing the window to get screwed.
