Ahhh thought it was the latest My Rotund Monarch dlc.
Gaming swooshboy's GTA Online thread featuring the RedCafe Crew
- Thread starter Big-Red
- Start date
Since the events come up every 12 minutes, and for the Hunt the Beast it randomly assigns someone as the Beast...it will be AGES before everyone has had a go!
So anyone on tonight for a bit of a warmup before the new modes are out.
Maybe in half an hour or so.
Made some decent captures if you wanna give them a try.
People on this then?
So, how will this go tomorrow? Will we have a private RedCafe lobby for the Freemode games, or will we play them in public lobbies?
Reckon we will get a private lobby if there is enough of us.
Hopefully we can get enough on. I'll be downloading the update whilst watching the Champions League match, so hopefully, we can all get on for some fun.
Been playing a couple of the game new modes - won Criminal Challenge in a full lobby (which paid me $29k). The others were lowest parachute opening, longest distance reversing without crashing and longest wheelie. I came 9th in the reversing one (again in a full lobby) and got $2k.
They work well - you get a notice period of which event is coming up, so you have time to change your vehicle etc. Then there is a timer for the duration of the challenge.
Will be good doing them in our own lobby!

So shall we say around 10pm (after CL games)?
Sure I can squeeze in an hour or two after the football.
Sounds acceptable.
Coolio
Penned in, The beast and criminal challenge sound awesome.
Ain't you a PC dork?
Yes, that is perfect.
Just had a quick go with the creator which has had improvements on the update, props are a lot easier to place, can basically be placed anywhere quite easily - gonna make for some fun I suspect.
Can someone make a GTA V chat room for those of us who don't speak frequently?
go play with your little console joystick you!Get on Caftards! Don't make me wait!
On route.
Be 10-15 mins.
are ye on for much longer
Quite enjoyed that last mode we played.
Shame about this waiting 12 mins for these freemode things

Yeah I could have sworn one of the articles swoosh posted said something about being able to change the frequency in private lobbies.Quite enjoyed that last mode we played.

But I suppose if we're in the lobby we can entertain ourselves trying to do that time trial thing, and other stupid shit for 10mins at a time no problem. Duffy and Stoney spend that long in the fecking clothes shops and hairdressers anyway.
What time trial?
and true.
There's a little purple clock on the map, at the moment it's on the pier. I tried it once and got over 2mins, I then tried to take a helicopter but it wouldn't let me start it
In the interaction menu, you can select which events you get notifications for - but I think it just means that if you hide notifications for, say, hunt the beast, then you won't be told when it is starting. I don't think it will change the fact that that particular event starts - but would be happy to be proven wrong.
This is the line:
I took that to you being able to decide which events would be 'scheduled' in a given lobby, but I think it is simply which ones you are told about.
I don't think the 12 minute thing is too bad - you also add in the advance notice you get and the time to change your vehicle etc.
The Kill List one we did was pretty poor - this is the description:
It seems as though there should have been other vehicles for people to use as well - seems pointless to only have one helicopter for 4 people available. Even then, since it was the buzzard it wasn't actually fun as you can't really aim the cannon.
The stoppie challenge was actually good - particularly given how unenthusiastic we were about it before it started! I kinda think it would be better if you gathered together somewhere to attempt these - just to make them feel more social / competitive...but then I guess this wouldn't work for some of them (such as jumps) and you should have freedom to try and achieve them anywhere.
Hunting Pack was good - but doesn't seem particularly well thought out. I don't see why the target can't change each time, so you are not just repeating the same route everytime. Also, it really should switch over who drives the vehicle between rounds.
Overall I am looking forward to trying the all the new modes - but I think you should be able to trigger them yourselves as well. Given the random nature in which they come up, it could be an hour or two before Hunt the Beast comes up, for example. Obviously only one person can be the beast, so it could be days before you even get the chance to try it out! Also, am pretty sure once you try a mode like that, you are going to want to do it right away again!
Lastly, trying them in public lobbies was a monumental waste of time!
Duffmania running wild.
Anyway, I must say the 12 minute thing is annoying. They've sold it as something that makes being in a lobby worthwhile but the time you are waiting, is time being wasted really. If you think about it, you wait 12 minutes waiting for it to happen, then there is a 5 minute task (the stoppie one was 5 mins anyway) and then you have another 12 minutes to wait. That's 24 minutes every half an hour wasted on walking around, putting up with Levo being a bell end and trying to find something nice to wear.

When you put it like that...
Just played a few hours, nothing of note in the free mode events. Managed to win highest speed recorded in a land vehicle with 219.8km. Was hoping for the dome one or hunt the beast but neither showed, had ones like keep hold of the vehicle which was a clusterfeck and was just starting a longest freefall one when it kicked me out.
For these to work I think you should be able to create a custom lobby and select only the modes that you want to do (and also toggle police on or off). Otherwise as Duffy said, you spend more time waiting around for them to start than you do actually playing them.
@Duffy did you get that video?
I got a version of it - will upload later.
I wish I knew how to video properly, it was epic on my screen, went to smash you, instead went over you and smashed into a train while something was exploding, then had about another 4 explosions while I wondered wtf was going on.
Just capture it then upload it to YouTube. I usually trim it on my laptop, rather than using the PS4 editor, but all straightforward.
Even for someone like you.
From a slightly obstructed angle. Will try and get it uploaded later.
