    There are some data quality errors mixed in, as well as some timeouts, but a -1 with no error means the web server responded but the page was missing data. It's possible that there's an intermittent problem with their persistence layer. I'll check a few by hand and run 'em again if I get successes.

    Hm, probably should schedule it for 3am.

    We do have two sets of stats. Look at Jay, his are publically shared and he's at -1 RP.

    I see a few names that I recognize on the 360 that are -1s, and nobody that I recognize as being a PS3 player with a -1. :P
    Are any 360 players showing up?

    I just bought a pink Faggio and installed a truck horn for it.

    La Cucharacha is the one, true horn.

    We can get the General Lee horn but no rebel flag or 01 on the side of my car? For shame Rockstar!!!

  • VeeveeVeevee WisconsinRegistered User regular
    The only viable custom horn is the starting bugle one. All the others are just meh incarnate.

    You could always make another crew and create an rebel flag emblem. They should stay even after you change your primary crew (unless you respray your car). Only problem is you need to have a crew leveled to 10 to open the option for applying emblems on vehicles, which is super lame.

    And people would think your probably a racist.

    My issue with horns is that you have to hold down the stick for them to play (well either that or get shot dead while driving).

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Yeah, car customization is really lacking in this game, which is shameful after Midnight Club Dub Edition.

    coming from GTA 4 though it's a massive improvement. back then pay and sprays would still just give you a random color, and there were zero car mods.

    I'd like to think its the result of constant administration, but I severly doubt it. More likely clueless racists have difficulty with graphical programs. I mean look at racist print shirts in real life for examples.

    The only vehicle that has an ok emblem placement that I've seen so far is the BF Injection, which sticks a decently-sized version on the driver's side door. Haven't seen a good hood logo placement yet. The Issi (mini) might also put it on the door, can't remember.

    I wish you could control size of the logo, at least on clothing you can do that.

    Best use of custom emblems was CS Sprays of boobs and such, then shooting guys in the back when they stopped to look.

    I'm going to walk this statement back a bit. Apparently, there's a bunch of URL checking that they're doing... in the session data, I guess, but I don't know how it's picking which system to look at by default. It's not stored in my authorization cookie.

    Anyway, there are two URLs.

    http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/jdarksun/games/gtav/ps3/career/overview/gtaonline

    It's a pretty small code update, should only take a few minutes to patch and test. I'll run it again overnight.

    Edit: That is to say, it is explicitly checking xbox vs. ps3. Which probably means the profiles are stored separately.

    Still MC:DE was '06-'07 and this is 2013, and Rockstar isn't learning shit from its other titles. I really need to be a game designer and build these games right.

    well saints row has always had great vehicle customization and the first one hit in 06, but it didn't really get good until saints row 2. GTA 5 finally has decent shooting, driving, and garage systems in place for the first time. it could be better but I'd say it's leagues better than saints row 3.

    Its funny I've seen way more variety doing random death matches than any random races. I don't know why commute isn't run more, its a 16 person race fairly straight, no huge kill corners and without traffic its just straight racing.

    I have played a few of the 16 player races and they seem to be a mixture of good times and seething hatred depending on the player. Personally I do not care about the huge early car pile ups or the accidental spin outs, or even the intentional ones. If I wanted to win I would win trade, otherwise I am having fun. But some people take them way too seriously. Not necessarily anyone on here, just in general.

    My issue when I race Wang is that fairly often there is one winner and the rest of us just duke it out for 6th place. It gets tiresome. Its why I prefer when we do 4man co-op missions instead.

    I get annoyed at dirty racers, but expecting a clean race with randos is just silly. :P

    Just did a 16 player race. What a cluster fuck, everyone was either lagging or crashing and I got a DNF. Was still cracking up though as it was just ludicrous and I had to laugh.

  • EgosEgos Registered User regular
    so this is something I'm sure everyone is subconsciously aware of at least : but considering how most of the citizens in the game are depicted are either rude or overly self absorbed (I suspect to make you feel less bad about hijacking their car) , I was a bit surprised when I got hit by a car and a women's voice went "Are you alright?"

    when all previous times that has happened like ...uncountable...always had the guy shouting a profanity at me or giving me the finger

    Kind of along the same vein, I had a very strange event happen.

    So I call my mechanic, my cheery, happy mechanic who gets paid $50 a day to bring me a vehicle day or night. He never complains, great work ethic.

    I ask him for my motorbike. He responds, "Right away!" in that never failing happy voice, reassuring me my ride will be along shortly.

    Sure enough, I see him coming up the road with my custom Bati. He pulls up close, and in his familiar, upliving voice says "Here ya go! She's purring!"

    I nod my thanks to him, and go to mount my bike. However a slight nudge on the shoulder occurs with my mechanic.

    "I am gonna own you, motherfucker!" in this low, now ferocious voice, dripping with malice.

    "It can't be...Mechanic Mike? Was that you?" I wonder to myself, turning my head around. Sure enough, he's mad enough to eat nails and starts walking towards me, ready to pummel my face in.

    He lands some hits, but for some reason I can't seem to focus (lock) on him so this fist fight against my longtime loving employee gone bad had to end soon. So I take out my pistol. He sees it and says in that low, low voice again "Oh fuck me!" and turns to run.

    I draw on him. He stops.

    He turns...and as I'm about to pull the trigger and end good ol' cheery Mechanic Mike's life, he says in yet another tone of voice I've never heard from him,

    "Wait, let me call my mother first.."
