I appreciate that but I'm on PS4!
Thanks for the help guys! (Last time I decide to skip a tutorial for online play....)
The first couple of Lamar missions are the tutorial for online. You can't skip them. If anything, you can just pull up your phone and select "quick job" or just drive around and look for the mission markers. There's really no set path for what to do online. A lot of people just go around in free roam and PvP, there are crews that only do races, etc. Just go around and explore Los Santos and find the things you enjoy doing.

So last night was awesome. Got to play with Cat and Tigress some more. Cat had to go AFK for a bit so we ended up with a mixed group of friendly acquaintances and GAF folks in an empty public lobby. We ran high player count contact missions for about an hour with hilariously OP setups. I think there were 3 Savages in the air during an LS Connection mission and we completed Judging the Jury in roughly 5 minutes at one point.
I had to go so we ended things with a rooftop massacre. My parting gift was a sucker punch into helicopter blades. I haven't seen mayhem with friendlies in GTA Online like that in probably over a year.

I don't know about that but last night on the PC side purchase transactions were ridiculously slow.
A lot of complaints lately about stuff like that -- people are having problems even logging on. I'm assuming something with the Bikers update screwed up.

Oh yeah, my first attempt at starting the game failed (yay DRM) and when I did start it and went to online it took a really long time to load into it.

Yeah, loading into a public lobby after missions was taking me 5 to 10 mins (seriously) last night. All of the new, lobby-based content is probably stressing things to the breaking point.
On a side now, I've become addicted to making photos using the R* editor.

All encountering this too.
Also, this morning I bought 2 sets of 3 crates, my money got deducted both times, but whenever I went outside my building, no mission to retrieve those crates started.
So I banked some money I had on me and then I joined a new lobby, to my surprise I still had the previous amount of money on me and the 2 previous purchases wasn't deducted...

I was switching lobbies until I landed in 4 player one, so I decided to sell coke from my Sandy Shores warehouse. Then I experienced ridiculously long loading time and after 2 minutes when it finally put me outside, I was in lobby with another 20 players. WTF? Of course someone destroyed 2 of my shipment vehicles, because why not :/
It's not like I need money after last weekend (based Sultans RS
, but it really pissed me off.

Good times today.
SiteSeer, Symphonia, and Xenorevlis are in there with a few other non-GAF folks.
Oh and that single-shot grenade pistol. Makes riding a bike safe. LOL

I know this is the console thread but the PC one is dead and this post really encompasses all versions.
Just picked up the PC version and started playing online for the first time since the PS3 release and I have a few questions. What is the best way to level up to 5 so I can get my first garage? Really want to check out all the new races and stuff but can't until I have a few different cars worth taking into the events.
Is there a good guide for a newcomer like myself? I'm level 3 ATM and just did the first TDM mission after the first holdup. I feel like they're a some sort of tutorial going on but don't know how to get the next mission/job to initiate.

The Lamar missions are the tutorial. I would say to just do some solo races. I'm not sure if the 2x stunt races are still going but even if they're not, you can raise low levels pretty quickly (and your driving skill and cash) doing solo racing.
Here's a reply I made on the last page:

Thanks for the help.
There's a 2 car garage with a half pipe in east los santos that's free atm (atleast it was yesterday on PC). So I'm trying to level up as quick as I can to get it before it goes back to its normal price. Are there more Lemar tutorial missions to do after the TDM?
Also I'm trying to add custom races to my job list from the website but in game they aren't available that I can see. Do I need to be a certain level to access them?
Edit: I also applied to a couple Neogaf crews that seemed active still. Would like to join one if possible. My name in game seeems to be my PSN name which is Squadon. Not sure why it picked that as my name instead of my Steam account but it's probably since I already played some on PS3.

There's only a couple of Lamar missions for the tutorial. Once your level goes up enough he will contact you for the Lowrider missions.
The higher your level, the more races/deathmatches/missions will be available. At level 3 I don't think you'll have any so select Quick Job from your phone and then join a race. Even if you finish last (or even don't finish) you'll still get XP and cash and IIRC then the race will be added so you can go to it from the pause menu and do it solo. The longer the race, the more cash and XP you'll get but it caps off at about $6000/2000 XP.

Did they finally officially end transferring last gen characters to current/PC?
Try to get recruited for as an associate/bodyguard/whatever through the CEO thing and do the same with biker gangs, get a Bati or Akuma since they're both cheap and still decent overall in races where the only bike that now soundly can beat them is the new million dollar one.

I don't believe it does.
Meh. I'll check back later and see if sth changed.
Pretty shitty if true, I spend like 3~4h max a week playing GTA:O and it seems like one business run is about 5h.
Making some cash passively isn't too bad but it will take almost two months to make back the cash I spent if all goes right lol.
What kind of penalty are you talking about? If I'm a job that keeps getting failed and everyone else decides to restart, I just go to the pause menu and find a new session. Not sure that I've been penalized for it.
i dont know, everytime i quit like this the game says that i will become a 'bad sport', whatever that means.
ExitPlanetDust

That's interesting. I don't think I've seen that. Though I usually ride missions until the end or leave from the restart menu if I'm with a shitty group.
i dont think there's a option to quit in the restart menu, since the options menu doesn't open.
You'll see it when in playlists or in missions that require teams or more than 1 player.
I've had it a few times, but nothing has ever actually happened.

So, we're seeing the Holloween update this week right? Maybe the rest of the Bikers content too? Or will they stretch the biker stuff out into November?
I haven't done a damn thing with the motorcycle club outside of just buying the club and using the bike delivery. The Compact Grenade Launcher is nice though, no more needing sticky bombs while chasing (with a bounty on them) or being chased by someone, at least while on a motorcycle. Oh, the melee on the bike is great too, I wish Rockstar made some GTA Races that incorporated that, maybe it's time I finally made one.

Can I switch between playing GTAO on different platforms or is the character locked to a platform? If locked, which platform is the best to favor for possible GAF fun? I'm likely to mainly play private solo -- can a lot of fun be had and stuff like having a MC clubhouse or doing the CEO stuff still be done?
Chars are ultimately tied to platform, yes. Not sure about the platform distribution, but I'd take a wild guess and say PS4 is most popular.
I don't think you'll have much fun playing solo in GTAO. You can buy anything without having to have people upfront but actually using or having fun with it solely at your own... improbable.
BigWeather

I like just putzing around the open world and doing random stuff, and having cars / garages / yachts, etc. to grind for gives it some structure. Also will likely dip into some play with others (hopefully GAF) once I get a bit better.
One thing I didn't like about GTA Online when I played it right after the previous gen release is the world didn't feel nearly alive. Animals were missing (and still are, apparently), but also there just weren't as many pedestrians and random cool things happening it felt like. That still the case? I wish I could chase the collectibles in GTA Online, that'd be awesome.
Do I need PlayStation Plus even if I do GTA Online solo private? I hope not, I just let it lapse. I know I'll eventually need it if I do want to play with others.
Edit: Dang, need PS+ even though I'm not actually playing with others. Ah, well.,

That's still one of if not my biggest peeve about GTAO, is that the world doesn't feel nearly as alive as it does in SP.

GAF hilarity online tonight:
GAF's very own SiteSeer in the Hydra and my friend, Ant riding on top. Too bad the SnapMatic didn't catch SiteSeer's ejection. The NPC assistant was freaking out during the attack.
hehe oops
Just got the game on PS4 after just having it on PS3 3 years ago.
The online is so overwhelming. I didn't and still don't know what I'm doing haha.
My character got deleted last night and I had to go to character selection screen. When I did the first mission with lemar my character was level 9 again and have 500k in the bank :S
Don't know what happened and it's pretty confusing
