Good couple of missions with KK earlier - Think we picked over 35k for the missions, which seems higher than normal!
 
It's just a case of making sure your picking the good ones with good payouts. I don't really do a mission unless it's roughly 8k or more. I was on the other night for about an hour to two hours and I ended up bringing in almost 150k.

Between that and going after the HPV for simeon and bounties there is a fair whack of cash to be made anytime I'm on. I'm finding the bounties increasingly difficult of late for some reason though. I was ace at the them at first. Spent my time just sniping dudes. No need to get too close and spook em just hover nearby and eventually you will get a clean shot. We that is unless the cnut uses the underground like one chap I encountered. :mad:

I could do with making a bit more cash so will be up for that.

I got a few bounties by flying planes into people as they're driving...which seems to be pretty effective. Especially as if you miss and just crash, you seem to spawn ahead of the player anyway, so you can just shoot them as they go by!

I haven't done many of the HPVs - wasn't aware that they paid well so may go after them.

Must try out that tactic of just flying planes into people. Ive had it used on me a couple of times but never really tried using it myself. Will give it a go tonight as Im gonna have a big session with Makadeni later on.

The HPV's can range from around 6k up to about 15k depending on the type of vehicle you have to deliver. Im a big fan of going after them i love the chase when someone else is trying to get to you before you deliver it. Im also a sneaky little bastard who rarely loses out on delivering one. I even outsmarted some fecker a while back by using a Carbo bob to steal the car and get it to the garage and then simeon. Hilariously funny watching people trying in vain to chase me down.

:lol:

The plane technique has worked for me a few times - am not sure how reliable the respawn point is, but I have spawned ahead of the car I was chasing a number of times. Its obviously easier to crash into people when they are driving out of the city, rather than in the heart of downtown, but still worth a go. If there are a couple of us on there I reckon one technique would be to have a pilot fly you close to them and then the other player bails out close to the bounty, Would work even better if that person was off the radar.

What time will you both be online tonight?
 
Oh we should both be on by about 6:30 at the latest. I get home for about 6pm so il be starting up the ps3 the minute I come through the door. I reckon if your on with myself and mak doing a few missin you should walk away with 100k easy
 
I'll have to have a run at this tonight. Logged on about 10pm yesterday and I didn't have a single PS3 'friend' online. Sad.
 
Theres nothing worse than logging on and seeing that nobody else is on. If the crew didnt exist I reckon I wouldnt even bother with playing it online.

@ISSYNAZAR get yourself on early enough and we can run a muck in a foursome. No doubt Irwin and co will come on later in the evening as they do!!!! :)

It makes a big difference doing missions with a crew versus with randoms - much more enjoyable (and reliable!).
 
My new controller purely for GTA. £5 brand new from GAME Inc delivery haha. Would've taken it at that price if it was smothered in shit.

But I spent so much on the chrome!
Well then to keep the cost down how about you try and throw a perlescent hot pink over the chrome? I know you can get perlescent over the matte finish as I've done it myself. Quite nice I'm in the process of redoing most of my cars with it bar my gauntlet and sabre.

Are you on tonight?

I probably won't get on until later tonight. The missus has control over the tv until she's shattered then I'm gonna hopefully have a stint. Might not be until something like 11pm though.
 
Will get on later this eve - will you be around?

Did a couple of missions with Issy yesterday - although we kept screwing up one mission.

I really need to get more money - I have about 250k in the bank. I still think the cost of ammo is way too high - especially if you fail a mission a couple of times and have to restock on ammo.

Don't think there are any cars that I particularly want to buy, but wouldn't mind having the buzzard available for some missions...so will probably go for that eventually...
 
Feck sake, I was about to finally sink my teeth into this game and join the crew and my ps3's bluray reader gave in... Anybody ever replaced one of these?
 
Some new content on its way from Rockstar:

http://www.rockstargames.com/newswi...Friday-The-GTA-Online-Valentine-s-Day-Massacr

The Valentine’s Day Massacre Special, the latest free update to GTA Online that’s coming this Friday features a variety of fun Valentine's themed extras for Story Mode and GTA Online.

NEW WEAPON: GUSENBERG SWEEPER
Nothing says “I love you” quite like the warm wooden grip and cold steel barrel of a Gusenberg Sweeper machine gun. Get it from any Ammu-Nation location in GTA Online (in Story Mode, the Sweeper is automatically deposited into each character's weapon inventory with two full clips and additional ammo can be purchased at Ammu-Nation).

NEW VEHICLE: ALBANY ROOSEVELT
Paint the town red in the classically-inspired Albany Roosevelt. This armored 1920s limousine is perfect for gangsters and their molls. To properly run amok with the new Roosevelt, get in the driver’s seat and let your friends or Crewmates hang off the side, firing and taking out your rivals as you pass them by. The Roosevelt can be accessed from any garage property in Story Mode and is available in GTA Online from the legendarymotorsport.net in-game website.

NEW ATTIRE
Dress to the nines in a host of new double breasted suits and 1920s flapper dresses, or bare it all in sexy undergarments while going incognito with a selection of new masquerade masks. There are also new novelty t-shirts, hats and more available in stores throughout Los Santos, plus a new Flapper Bob hairstyle exclusively for the ladies.

10 NEW JOBS
The Valentine’s Day Massacre also includes 10 new Jobs scattered like the remnants of a broken heart throughout the world of GTA Online, including Deathmatches, a new Parachute Jump and new land, sea and cycling Races.

Everything in the Valentine’s Day Massacre Special will be available for a limited time starting this Friday, but once acquired you will be able to keep them in your inventory for good. We will also have more information soon for other forthcoming GTA Online content updates including the Dangerous Business Pack, Online Heists, an expansion to the Creator tool and lots more.

Am obviously looking forward to the Heists, but the Dangerous Business Pack is intriguing. There is speculation that this could enable you to own businesses online (and defend them from rivals etc), or it could be the launch of BAWSAQ online, or the Casino...
