I can't even begin to imagine how long it would take to get to 1000 without any hacking or grinding. I do very little grinding and am only around level 43 or so.

And 1,613 hours. That's 66 full 24 hour days of playing! How is that even possible unless you are not working, or not going to school? :dunce::eek:

When you consider the game has been out nearly 10 months it's not so hard, all I do now is play missions. I know of a guy who is, last time I checked rank 826 and he has a play time double mine, over 120D I think it is. Ranking up is really not that hard, or time consuming. For fun a short time ago I created a new PSN, played GTA Online and got that character up to rank 104 so far in just over 4D play time:

If you want to rank up quickly you need to sacrifice free mode, free mode is a bottomless pit into which you drain all your money, time & energy for no reward.

I am in no hurry to rank up and really don't need to. I think I am around level 130. I just cant comprehend being able to put THAT much time into a game in 10 months. I am lucky if I get maybe 1-2 hours a night in gaming especially during the summer when I am working 55-60 hours a week (like right now).

The person you know with double your time (120d), there is no way they have a full time job or go to school. :lol: That means they would have to average around 7 hours a day every day 7 days a week to play 120d gaming time in 10 months. Again, no way that person has a job or goes to school.

On the BF3 boards a while ago I saw a legit 120-200 days played. But that was over two years of the game being out.

Exactly my point. Putting that much time in 2 years is to be expected. Putting (120d) in 10 months is someone with nothing else at all to do. I honestly wish I had the ability to do that. I would love to be able to just sit home and play games.

I play a variety of games. The most I've ever played a game was COD: MW3 which was about 8 days. And I played a ton of MW3. GTA I have 5 days and am only 70. (I spent a ton of time in free mode)

120d/270d(only out 9 full months). If you work a full time job then that would take up 64 d. So 184d/270d. Then sleep. 7hrs a day. 263d/270d. Its possible to be working a full time job, sleep, play that much GTA and still have 7 daysfree time in 9 months. Its possible, but unlikely.

A part time job(20hr abt) and 7 hrs of sleep with 120d of GTA would still be 230/270 days.

I am not sure how much time I have into GTA5. Site doesn't work half the time. I was playing it quite a bit for a few months.

As for most played I think that goes to Halo 2 and Halo 3 but I am not sure how that calculates into hours or days. Bungie stopped keeping track of these games back in 2012. So I don't know the hours or days. I just know I played those 2 games more than any other games I have ever owned. H4 is also climbing up this list. I have 12 days into H4 over a 2 year span.

Halo 2 = 3,853 games played
Halo 3 = 3,695 games played
Halo 4 = 2,031 games played (12 days played)
 
And who said math isn't fun. :lol: Myself sitting here at just over 1000 hours of GTAOnline with it being way more that I would like to admit. Hey, atleast I know I didn't spend my money for nothing on the PS3 and the game :)

The level cap is now 8000, they raised it when they removed everyone's unlegit RP

Doesn't make sense cause everything after 120 is pointless.

still don't get how you can get a 🤬 tank before a 6 wheeled truck though.

The six wheeled truck will serve a higher purpose soon. Also the level cap is higher because R* plans to add much needed content for higher level players soon.

It's just the fact that you can get a Tank, and (and a Buzzard too right?) Both capable of mass destruction and trolling and annoying other players, 25 whole levels before you can get a truck with 6 wheels that the most you can do is flip cars with.
 
So apparently R* added the Jet as a placeable vehicle and capture vehicle to the capture creator. There's only one problem - it's so large that there is literally nowhere on the entire map where it can be placed and still take off. :lol:

Airports?

LSIA and Fort Zancudo are restricted, and it doesn't fit in Trevor's airfield let alone the tiny one in Grapeseed. There's one place I managed to place it, in the docks area where Simeon's garage is, but it can't take off there at all.
 
I'm still at rank 73-74 (I'll check later). I still can't wrap my head around you guys getting to rank 120+ without glitching, hacking, or grinding. I glitch and grind all the time because I want to be able to play the game eventually.

You mean the 747 made of styrofoam and cardboard? You could possibly take off at the Sandy Shores airfield (Not McKenzie Airfield in Grapeseed), but there are still rocks everywhere that you could clip and subsequently blow up. I have a feeling that it would be used as an obstacle in capture missions. "Oh, a shootout at a terminal. SO ORIGINAL!"

You can't even place it at Trevor's airfield.

How about Vespucci Beach? Those planes should be able to float?
Click to expand...

The Jet is so large that Vespucci Beach is effectively an uneven surface.
Look, how about a sense of the scale of this thing?

Those yellow blocks are dump trucks.

Well, it's clear that R* is daring anyone to make use of a massive Jet in Capture.
Click to expand...

I did notice it flash at Trevor's airfield - the positioning would probably have to be pixel perfect.
Alternatively one could place a load of cabins down and use the 'place objects on other objects' glitch, but other than those methods I don't see Jet captures happening until R* unlocks the airport, dammit!
 
I am so sick of this 🤬!!! Why the hell hasn't Rockstar thought of adding the ability to disable stunt jump cameras?! I can barely do a single jump without me crashing my motorcycle or dying because I hit something I CANT SEE! I would write a ticket to Rockstar demanding they implement an option to disable these camera angles, but I would rather not have them looking at my account at the moment.

Can someone please write one for me? You would not only help me, but everyone else in the stunting community.
