We should nominate someone to go for the racing trophy as we have to get that person to 20 race wins in one session (with no DC'ing). Who has it? I know Famine does.
 
I don't have it but am willing to help someone else get it at this time-- If I ever get a long session in, I think I can earn it on my own.

If we get more people on a session (at least 4) then we should do the "taking it for the team" -- we can do 10 minute sessions of Team Car Jack City, Team Mafiya work, & Turf War, Team death match and a session of cops and crooks-- do 2 of each-- whichever team wins the first one has to let the other team win the 2nd one-- for cops and crooks... the same team has to win as cops and crooks in one session (we can't split)-- this will take almost 2 hours even if we do it this way for both "teams" to get it.

To keep others out we need to set up a "private" match-- should do this for the racing trophies also--- so we don't have to worry about having to kick intruders.

I will likely run a wired connection for my next session as any disconnect seems to count as a "kick".

I'm good for saturday.
 
When is the next appointment? I'd like to join in too.

As mentioned Saturday at 8PM GMT. The plan is to help get a member (this time it's Spuds) 20 race wins in one session, so they can get the Top the Midnight Club trophy. I'm reckoning on a 2-2 1/2 jobbie, depending on how good we do. The races will be 1-lappers, primarily the quicker options, and most likely short(ish) tracks.
 
Come to think of it i might not be so sure for tomorrow, i'll hopefully be receiving Fallout 3 in the mail! :lol:
 
I'm probably unavailable this evening. If I appear at some point invite me, but otherwise don't wait for me.
 
Got Spuds the Top the Midnight club in about 1hr30. Wasn't too difficult, only really about 2-3 races where I helped him. Boy, did I annoy a lot of people tonight!

When next? Wouldn't mind getting one done on Tuesday night, or is it too near to Christmas to do one?
 
Tuesday night's difficult for me, but Christmas Eve is a winner.
 
Fine by me, scrooge here has only brought presents for the kids. Set title to 24th 2000GMT, again.
 
Thanks for the race assist--

Just so everyone is aware-- from what I've read for all the trophies that have you do multiple things in Multiplayer-- you have to do them in one sitting meaning you cannot exit to single player from the time you begin to the time you end-- this can be a pain

-- I was trying for a couple more trophies tonight (since I had the time)-- one is win in all MP game modes and the other was win in all team modes-- I did BDBII first since I have the glitch that kicks you out-- took me an hour just to pass that, were alot of griefers tonight and of course the glitch-- then started working through the list-- I almost completed it but didn't--- I missed Team Car Jack City and Car Jack City-- no body was playing these-- I also couldn't pass Mafiya work (individual)-- I won in each of the other modes at least one time--- this took me about 4 hours-- I finally gave up--- got too sleepy to continue so it was all for nothing...

I did find a pretty fun game tonight that everyone should try if they haven't yet.... Mafiya work (individual) with blips off-- chat was on but only "near"-- was a 30 minute match-- was alot of fun-- as everyone kept "meeting" at the objectives-- and you could sneak up on someone without them knowing it-- I almost won it.

I ran a wired connection directly to my modem to prevent drops
 
Spuds - I'll happily work with you for the Petrovic/Co-Op trophies, though with us being in literally opposite time zones we'll have to figure out a very specific session in which to do it!
 
If we can get 6 GTPers together, we can whip out Teamplayer trophies in no time.

Okay if we go for me getting Top The Midnight Club on Christmas Eve?
 
Problem is it's just not that easy with the BDB2 glitch. And the three co-op games are only 4 player tops. But I reckon the three of us can grind it out before we head on to the other MP games.
 
This is what I've read on the BDB glitch-- It is supposedly caused by either someone joining or leaving a game in progress-- so if we get 4 players, nobody gets dropped-- it should keep everyone in the game (no one can join if there are 4 players).

The one session I got through yesterday had 4 players in it-- I had a problem with griefers in almost every session before that-- one team member was blowing up cars, in another the heli pilot flew out to sea, jumped out an exited, one set Friendly fire on and was killing everyone, etc... evidently Saturday night is griefer night... I did have my team get though another session-- but I got killed.

You can read more about the glitch here--

as long as everyone has good connections (Spuds would use his wired connection for this--- I played 6 hours yesterday with no drops)

Realize that getting the coop trophy we would have to do each in the time allowed-- a challenge in itself-- I've only managed the "noose" time....

We could get the win all game modes trophy-- but it would take a while (about 2 hours)-- for this-- start with BDBII (in case we encounter the glitch) and just work up the list--would need at least 3 players for this-- and this would take around 2 hours for one "team"-- each person would have to win in each single player mode

The team trophy requires you to win each team mode-- Team Cops N crooks (win as both in one session), Team Death match, Team Mafiya work, Team Car Jack City, and Turf war.... doing 10 minute sessions both teams could win this one in under 2 hours- one team could do this in under an hour.

For the top of the midnight-- me and sureshot had and issue with the others getting into a game about 1/2 way through-- makes it a bit harder ;)

Whoever is getting the trophy can't leave MP-- so the host should not be the one getting this trophy-- I had sureshot leave and send me an new invite at one point-- we had like 10 or 12 people end up in our race-- they stayed through some heli races too.

Have we tried doing a private match yet?? I've never tried hosting one of these yet-- would certainly make it easier to keep out intruders and speed this along-- me and sureshot were going through these pretty fast before others finally got in our race.

You can set a certain amount of private slots, but you have to fill them. If I had set more than 1 last night we wouldn't have started. I don't believe you can have a whole private room.

Good point on the hosting though, so someone else will have to host on Wednesday.
 
I have just joined the group. My PSN is JonesyGT246. Someone will have to add me since none of you are on my friends list. I'm looking forward to playing online.

Also, if someone adds me, can you leave me a PM here since I don't go online often?
 
The issue I see with private games is the word "ranked"... In COD4 online, private games didn't count towards your online scores, otherwise you could fix it. You could get all your mates in a room, but it'd be quite tricky.

If the same applies to GTA4, we'd spend 2 hours on squat... There's no good way to test it out that I can think of.

Incidentally, why can't the host get the multiplayer trophy?

All matches, even private ones, count as ranked matches on the PS3 version of GTA4 apparently. I've read this on various PS3 forums and when I setup a few privates races with a friend of mine he got the "Join the Midnight Club" trophy and my wins were registered fine.
 
It was also stated in the post I linked to above about the BDBII glitch-- he helped several people get some trophies in private matches.

The host can get trophies-- my point was for public matches-- if you get too many people in a match, it makes it harder to win-- the only way to get so one of us is a host again is to exit to single player-- then start a custom game-- exiting to single player and entering multiplayer will ruin the persons progress-- if we go to private matches, then not a problem---

I can add you Jonesy--finally another United Statesian-- I typically play pretty late-- 10-12 pm EDT-- our group has been mainly for working toward trophies but can be for social games too-- wish you cold set "groups" on your friends list-- I forget who is who alot of times...
 
Hi all,

Just wanted to express that I would love if I could get some help earning any of the multiplayer gta4 trophies. I'm working on the single player ones at the moment and don't have any of the multiplayer ones. I'd also be available to help others get their trophies. Won't be able to make the christmas eve one though as that is very early morning on christmas day in my timezone.
