Well that was annoying. I met up with Custom878 and we rode off on my Bati to meet up with two other GTPers (gtuned and... I missed the other guy's name), tried to get in an Annihilator to give them 'air support' as they rode around on the train, it disappeared and then I timed out. Sigh.

Figured that's what happened, and this lobby doesn't seem to like you too much.


I also almost just shat my pants twice. Those falling helicopters are scary as hell.
 
"OH GOD HOW DID A COP GET ON THE TRAIN" and almost shot neema in the face.

Ha, I didn't even notice that, thanks for sorting him out I guess even though I was gone seconds later. Also I don't think it's just that lobby that doesn't like me, it's the entire online mode. Sigh. So much for that, then.

>G06DoRiFUt0 kills Custom878

"Hmm, says Exosphere is near by on the map... where is h-OH GOD ANNIHILATOR."

I tried to drop in on the train via silk but timed it wrong and ended taking a soil sample instead...
 
I had the greatest showdown with another player in the last session I was in.

He had a bounty on him, so obviously my first decision was to kill him and claim the money. While chasing him, he gets into his Buzzard parked at the helipad near Vespucci Beach. I continue driving, and when he missed my car with one of his missiles I got out, grabbed my bullpup rifle, and shot him while he was in the chopper. I take the chopper, and he hides near one of the garage entrances, shooting RPG's and bullets at the chopper. The chopper breaks down (but doesn't get destroyed) while I have the cops on me and he attempts to kill me. I hide behind a wall, and he shoots at me. Barely avoiding death, I manage to kill him again using my sawed-off shotgun. A mugger (sent by a different player) robs me, and gets killed by another player. In the midst of the carnage my 'rival' sends a mugger out, this time I kill him and take the car I was attempting to get into.

I flee from the war-zone and he sends Merryweather mercenaries after me. Barely escaping, I stop at the outside of a mansion in Vinewood Hills (slightly north from Michael's) and fend off the mercenaries from there. He keeps driving around in his supercar and throws sticky bombs in hopes to kill me. I kill about 8 waves of mercenaries before attempting to make my getaway. I steal a Merryweather Mesa and attempt to escape, but due to the AI's ridiculous accuracy in drive-by shootings, I get killed after getting rammed by another Mesa. The mastermind behind the chaos left after the mercenaries killed me.

A couple of questions; Do Merryweather mercenaries spawn infinitely until their target is dead? Is it possible to evade the mercenaries somehow?

I once asked @SomePlayaDude to send mercs after me so I could take their Mesa, just one truck spawned and after I killed them that was it, no more mercs.

Something amusing just happened to @Custom878 and I. I met up with him, he got in my car so I decided we should go and claim a bounty up near Fort Zancudo. On the way there I managed to jump my Coquette into a swimming pool, then Custom jacked a Sandking XL. We carried on, got the bounty and I called Pegasus to deliver my Liberator to the nearby drop spot. After some terrible driving I noticed the guy we killed had another bounty on him despite there being no players nearby for him to have annoyed after the last time, so I figured sure, let's go kill him again. I used the camera to take a peek over the hill and saw he was in a tank, and for some reason I got out of the truck to get a better look...

Then I noticed the blip on the map was moving towards us, and I think Custom noticed it at the exact same moment and our reactions were identical - 'It's coming right for us! RUUUUN!' - but we didn't manage to get away in time. Custom left after that and I used Off The Radar to get alongside the tank and sticky bomb it to hell. I spent maybe $4000 in bombs to claim a $1000 bounty, but it was worth it.

That's weird, because after the first Mesa came and I wiped those troops out they kept on coming. :confused:

Just collected my first special crate drop. Got the Supa Wet Beer Hat. :D

I've seen upwards of 5 Mesas before. To answer your earlier question, yes they can be evaded, either by getting out of reach (in the air/out at sea) or by entering a property.
 
That's IT! I have HAD it.... My mechanic is going to rehab. It is only a matter of time before I find one of my "delivered" cars in a tree...

I don't even think the mechanic is real any more, I think its the car fairy dropping cars from the sky, appearing when your back is turned.

He was finally removed after too many reports of him just appearing and driving away with your car you just called.
 
I played GTAO for a few minutes today and didnt see a single ferris wheel.

(Omg autocorrect changed ferris to fetus)

Yesterday while I was trying to find crew members to play with, when the camera snaps to the bird's eye view and zooms out as it does when you change session, I saw four ferris wheels littering the street outside my garage. I didn't even have to move and I saw four!
 
Me and @jstickboy13 sitting outside of a crate drop zone.

I swear if some idiot comes in and goes right into the circle, or if this one doesn't drop, I'mma lose it.

And Ecomine joins the party.

And some random idiot just comes right in and glitches it.

Nope. We sat and waited outside the circle, EcoMine showed up. We were gonna wait for the actual "a crate has been dropped" notice, but when some idiot comes flying right in and not a thing to be found.
 
Apparently, my session is now on "GTA Online TV."

What? Is someone spectating me? I allowed that option, but it didn't say who was spectating me.
