I had great craic Saturday night doing the bike race and then the bit of free roam after.

I'm dubious about buying a sub, purely because I think if a load of us go ordering them around the same time the clowns in Pegasus will spawn them all over the map. I'd rather hang onto my 1.4m, or whatever they cost, and just nick the one that auto-spawns in the Merryweather building around the docks area.

Sometimes I'll invite a few crew members around to my apartment and we all sit down and watch players on the tv. Someone will pick a lower level and send a mugger after them as we watch it all unfold on tv.

Cue much hysterics as the mugger approaches the unsuspecting sap and makes off with their cash.

These are never really arranged and more impromtu occurances if there's a few up for it.

I'd be the same re the sub, and it's probably the reason I didn't buy a buzzard. I don't really use it and can just rob one if needs be anyway.

Actually a bit of gas in your apt the other night, me over at the counter drinking wine and you and the other lad taking hits from the bong. Being drunk is funny, but I imagine trying to drive is an absolute pain in the bollocks.

The Buzzard can be handy for certain missions and it's handy in free mode, I don't regret buying it.

I regret buying the tank though, total waste of money.

TacoMan

As Proco said, the Buzzard is very handy for missions. Also I read that if your character owns a Buzzard they will more often than not auto-spawn in the known locations (airport, on top of the hospital, Merryweather dock building, helipad behind the cop station in Paleto Bay etc.). Nothing more annoying than heading down to the airport and seeing 3 Froggers spawn on the heli pads.

A good laugh is getting drunk on the betting screen before a race. Just set your winning move to "drink beer" and keep hitting X. The race will start as normal, screen looks grand but when you try to drive you're all over the shop. The first time I copped this I honestly thought my controller was busted IIRC the screen only gets distorted in Freemode (and of course you have little to no control over what direction you steer in etc.). You eventually sober up and can continue with the race.

Bought the kraken for the status symbol, it's what rich people do

Bought the new helicopter, faster than the buzzard but no missiles, think its the best in the game. Bought a 6x6 there with the betting money.

Cruising isn't just one of the activities the crew do, it's just something I organised in the past that was enjoyable.

I'm curious, why do you have to start from scratch if you already had a PSN account?

Bumped a few of the crew from muscle to rep.

Just bumped up any familiar names I could see.

Not that the positions in the crew makes any difference anyway :pac:

Being still totally new to the online game, I'm still trying to bump up levels playing alone. About what level should I get to before you people will take me in any way creditably? :pac:

Level 1 :pac:
Levels don't mean much, apart from being unable to get the better weapons & car unlocks etc.


You'll gradually move up levels doing races & missions with crew members.

It might be easier finding low level crew members to do missions with to gain more RP.


Have you joined the crew?

Yep, joined a couple of months back I think.

As I say, I'm totally new to the online game so I've no idea what I should be trying to do. I've been just completing missions etc as fast as I can to bump up. Not seen many crew online when I've been on but that could be the hour of day!

I'll keep an eye out for ye!

Press Start, then Online, then Join Crew Members.

It should throw ya into a session with someone from the crew.

Having a mic makes gta online a lot better imo.
Most of the time we are just messing around, talking sh1te but at least then you can ask us if we want to do a few races or missions.

If you don't have a mic, leave the crew chat audio on so you know what we are up to.

Check out the player index thread and add a few of us.
What console are you on?

Speak for yourself, sir. I hold regular discussions on macroeconomics and quantum physics with johnnyreynolds and niallfitz.

hullaballoo

I'm on PS3 for the foreseeable. Don't have a mic either but might be able to sort something out for that.

I'll probably be online over the weekend and I'll do what you said. Might even bring a mate who could still join our noble ranks!
