Five Tips For Thriving And Surviving In Grand Theft Auto Online

GI - "Though many of us are still struggling to gain access to Grand Theft Auto Online as Rockstar works out the technical difficulties, some have slipped between the error messages to experience Los Santos through the lens of their own created characters. To help you get set up in this new virtual world, I have a few tips I learned while playing the beta you may find useful."

I feel your pain man. I was playing it all day then the cloud servers started messing up in the evening. Im like a crack addict fending to play some more.

Have you played it at all yet?

MysticStrummer3858d ago

The game has glitched in a different way three times, skipping that first race, and I spawned somewhere else. Twice I spawned in mid-air by the Vinewood sign and fell far enough to lose about half my health. I was able to run around in the world and do random stuff, but no races or other missions.

The money system is completely and utterly broken.

I have been stuck at 30 to 35 k for the last 3 hours.

Why?

Because every time I die I lose roughly 2-3k regardless if I've put it in the bank or not.

This means that obtaining even just 100k for the cheapest property is almost impossible. And getting 1 million for the more expensive cars and properties is only possible if you pay rockstar real money for virtual money.

I am utterly disgusted at take two and rockstar. This was obviously put in place to force people to buy in game money.

I don't know why I'm not seen more complain about this since it's basically broken the entire online game.

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.

Inverno32d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist39d ago

Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.

BISHOP-BRASIL39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.

EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.

Kombatologist39d ago

@BISHOP-BRASIL

I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
