Finally encountered a Burrito tonight while grinding Rooftop Rumble of all things. Stored it instantly.

Moneypocalypse 2.0? :D

He only set a few bounties and then proceeded to be an absolute 🤬 for the rest of his time there, putting on an invulnerability hack and just generally being annoying and blowing stuff up.
I wouldn't want another moneypocalypse anyway... R* would just remove it again and cause more dumb chaos as everyone says 'But now I've lost all my money!' after they've spent like $20 million on Chrome Adders and Pegasus vehicles
 
Can someone tell me where the pleasure lies in spawn killing everyone with a fighter jet?

I admire the skill and machine gun accuracy involved, I cannot see where the enjoyment is though.

Also, when said pilot finally lost his precious jet, he couldn't deal with battling on terra firma at all.

I presume you are referring to that idiot we encountered last night? I was on my over to you in my Futo when he ripped me apart, and then proceeded to make several attempts to wipe me out when I was on foot afterwards
 
If I could wave my magic wand players would get monetary bonuses for not playing the same mission over and over. Let's say a $1000 bonus per mission, payed out at the end of each mission, compounded until you repeat a mission. So if you play 15 different missions before repeating, that 15th mission would come with a $15,000 bonus on top of the regular pay out.

I'm sure someone smarter than me could find a balanced figure.

Yup, there was a couple of them.

Did you get your turbo upgrade? Need any more wins? Paint to unlock?

I can lead you to some stunt jumps to unlock lime green (I think it's lime green for jumps) if you need.
 
Turbo upgrade unlocked thanks :D Just need to start making some serious $$ now to make use of it haha :D

Stuff like Chrome paints I don't really care for, I'm not one for hideous paint schemes lol :P

I know chrome is questionable, nice to have it unlocked though.

If I can get on today, I'll set up some RR and invite you.
 
Money hacks wouldn't happen if R* boosted their rewards by, say, adding a zero or two in the end and removed a zero from the things you can pay for. Short said, if the money system was reasonable. :p
Just removing a 0 from 'consumables' (i.e. ammo, and maybe car upgrades) would be fine. I think prices for things like cars and pegasus vehicles are fairly reasonable, it's the price of things like sticky bombs that are too high. Plus the fact you can spend 10 minutes doing, say, a race, win it, and get $2k. And it's a GTA race, and you used 2 sticky bombs which cost you $1k.

And about Chrome, it can work rather well as a secondary. I've got chrome side panels on my red 9F Cabrio, and it looks rather nice.

Do you have any pics of your 9F? As I'm struggling to picture it with chrome panels....

The trouble is, I think RR would still be very popular as people probably wouldn't bother doing all the either mundane (Simeon) or annoyingly long and difficult (Lester) missions to build up a high bonus that would really only become more worthwhile than RR when you're doing like 20 missions. Either that or there would be a different system where people could just alternate between Coveted and RR.
I was thinking about this a few weeks ago, but it involves playlists, which right now are pretty boring and unused apart from 6* Coveted... I was thinking maybe a cash multiplier added for every different job in a playlist, something like +0.1x for each job. So, for example, you could make a playlist with 10 jobs, and each job would have a 2x cash bonus (2.25x on hard).
... of course, people would still make a playlist with 16 of the highest paying jobs and just grind that single playlist instead, but at least it would be a BIT more variety at the very least. And there would still be the option of grinding RR if you just want a short cash boost to get a few upgrades.
 
I can back him up that his 9F looked great with chrome panels. Personally I prefer the metal paints but there are a few instances where chrome can be quite nice... but it's still the most expensive secondary :(

Aww, you're so sweet. The paint jobs are so expensive in general though, the primary (sunset red) cost me $12k on that 9F, with the pearlescent (torino red) costing another $11k I think. And I haven't actually unlocked the metals on that character I don't think, might set up a Criminal Records rally race and entice some noobs in. :lol:

I believe the secondary colours are 50% off, which would make secondary chrome $12.5k. Yikes.
Also you'll have to make sure that you're the driver for the rally race then... do you really trust randoms to not crash, even on Criminal Records?

Of course not. Some of them don't understand what's happening either, and just sit there because they can't see any checkpoints. It's pretty funny. :lol:

And I can back up chrome on the Youga as a secondary, ties the bumpers together and looks pretty decent.
 
One advantage of Chrome is that it doesn't go pearlescent (except if you do the crew colored chrome glitch thing). I had a Youga that was bright purple with hot pink pearlescence and brushed steel secondary, and it looked great, but the secondary looked weird because it had the pearlescence... I wish there was a way to have seperate pearlescence for secondary colours.
 
So, some guy threatened to report me earlier. We were both chasing the same bounty, and I got it. Then we had a short gun battle, and he got a $9k bounty, and fled to LSIA where he took a Luxor to Ft. Zancudo. I pursued him but he killed me because I'm crap in a Jet. I then spawned off the ground, went off the radar to make him think I rage-quit, and got another Jet. He was now pretty much at the height ceiling over LS, so I caught him by surprise, got a hit on and crippled his jet, and then flew into him as he was parachuting to safety. We both died, but I got the $9k, and I sent a text saying 'I win.' and he responded 'most annoying playr i repurt u 4'. :lol:
