Well I had a ton of fun today
, decided to log on to find everything was gone. Thought to myself "fine", I only had about 2 hours worth of online progress anyway, hadn't bought a lot at that point in time.
Just to note that during this whole story, some guy was blowing down the microphone as loudly as he could the entire time, so just try to keep that in mind.
So I had to start over, got the first few mandatory missions out of the way and decided to rob a bunch of stores. For a while one other player was determined to try and perform a drive by shooting and chased me around most of the map before realising he just wasn't going to catch me in the Infernous I had stolen.
Back to business of robbing some stores, I then came across the cops being hellbent like never before, they were spawning everywhere in front of me and every damn civilian car on the road happened to want to take an emergency turn just as I was blasting past them at 150mph.
I decided to test the online cop AI by robbing the store at Sandy shores since it is very remote. I set up my waypoint on the GPS and head off on my 3.5 mile journey where strangely, I then never came across one single vehicle or pedestrian even when I slowed to curb crawling speed; odd. Once I began holding up the store and receiving an instant 3 stars, 4 cop cars and a helicopter managed to arrive at the store before I had even finished emptying the till, what a darn quick response time that was, just where were they all hiding?
I barely made it out alive out of the store and into my Infernous, and decided to head for Trevor's airfield since it's very close by and a good way of escaping. In amazing fasion, cop cars were spawning just yards in front of my vehicle on the airstrip and already moving at full speed, as did another helicopter which suddenly appeared directly above my car. I made it on to the freeway and continued to experience this instant spawning almost directly in front of my car for an age before the AI finally began to act more normal and I was able to lose the cops, by which time I had made it round to the Mt Chilliad cable car/ski lift.
As a form of de-stressing, I thought I would throw the Infernous off the top of the mountain, thus began the lengthy climb. Some time later, after finally squeezing the wide back end through the small gaps in the rocks at the very top, I lined up my car ready to blast off the ramp, parachute also at the ready. Just as I hit the accelerator, I was kicked from the room.
After connecting with the online portion of the game again, my progress had once again been completely deleted.
Thanks Rockstar.
