I want to get the High Flyer Parachute, but the lobbies are barren.

That tends to happen when things get DDoS'd.

XBOX is feeling the effects too. The weekend event needs to be continued, or at least have the High Flyer parachute available to all for purchase for a limited time.

What does DDos'd even mean?

What does DDos'd even mean?

Distributed Denial of Service. It's basically flooding Sony's servers with fake visitors, slowing down the site. A better explanation is in a thread discussing what happened earlier today.

Xbox issues are unrelated.

From LizardSquad's latest tweets, it sounds like they took down XBL as well.

 

[GTPorsche]

That's news to me then.

 

[Valkyrie427]

Well, it's technically news to everyone.

 

[Ddrizle]

Battle.net, Blizzard, PSN, XBL & possibly other major networks were supposedly hit.

Unrelated: Maybe that's causing my Mortal Kombat to have problems.

Related: Finally got around to testing the Coquette Classic in single player and I got to say I like it. Maybe not much to spend 600,000+ on it in GTA Online, but I like it.

And the flight the SOE president was on was diverted because of them.

I've ran out of buffalos to sell. I still can't afford the jet.

 

[samurai8juice]

Its weird because I was watching a live stream on PS4, and he was unable to sign online, but I got on successfully on the PS3. I don't think the systems make a difference for PSN, or do they?

HAHAHAHA! Now you have to be poor like the rest of us!

Well, I can afford either jet; It's just that I choose not to buy them because I see absolutely zero point in buying Lazerbait.

It's pretty easy to avoid missiles with the Besra.

It's pretty easy to avoid missiles with the Besra.

But not explosive bullets at the hands of a skilled pilot.

Miljet will be useful for crew only sessions hauling 16 guys around, Bestra's fun to play with, and Swift's a pretty fast chopper (Though the Buzzard with weapons will be infinitely more handy)

Reasons I will never purchase the Miljet
-Any lobby organized enough to have 16 well behaved and task oriented players that intend on pulling off such activities will already have someone with it and having two in the same room could be pointless unless it's two 8 man sqauds.
-Death trap
-co$t.. i already spend too much on cars and ammo.

They're not clever kiddies. DDOSing is a felony, but making bomb threats to an american commercial airliner is another thing altogether...

There's also evidence that it's not them carrying out the DDOS attacks, so they're basically attention seeking.

In a video I watched, the Besra and the Swift were side by side and were about the same speed...Besra being a little faster.

Anyone else having an invisible object stuck inside their garage? There's something in space 9 at my 3 Alta Street garage. It's invisible and holding up my Vacca. Very annoying. Pictures of the glitch incoming...

I started to rock the car back and forth with the left stick:

Yep.. same slot, same thing.

 

[gtuned]

Now even the game itself is telling R* to add Hydraulics.

*Phew* Glad it's not just me.

If only the game could tell R* what else to add/fix/remove...

Not limited to 10-car garages either, it seems.

I'd reply with 4spooky6me but we as a community are much too good for random, meaningless comment chains.

Earlier today, I decided to purchase all of the new parachute... chutes because why not? Also, I couldn't find any videos only showing the new chutes.

But I can say I like a few of the new ones. If we ever have a military-themed event or stealth mission, I'm definitely using the black and green one or the old solid black chute.

 

[samurai8juice]

I like the new bags, currently using Wales because of the Green and White with the Red Dragon.

Sometimes it glitches and it shows me using the USA one, even though I don't have it.
