The most random change in this patch is your strenght bar will have been reset. Mine has gone from being slightly over one bar to slightly under, what's the point in that?

I put it on last night, new patch has changed quiet a few things.
My interest was gone after 30mins.

I might well trade it in for a credit voucher towards my next Xbox one title while it is still worth something (I won't be playing it after Friday anyway).

My Sheriff SUV was taken. I'd put a chrome paintjob on it too, it looked awesome and I could get all my mates hanging off the side for easy drive by murderings.

The RP and money for missions has dropped a load. The money I can understand, but the RP drop makes leveling up take hours and hours of mission and race bashing. $4300 for a race win, that was with 8 people in the race over a fair distance and just over 2000RP, down from more than double that.

The earnings now vs the cost of items, such as a paintjob or a horn in LS Customs, isn't proportionate at all.

+1, essentially they've penalised the more casual of us who haven't spent every waking moment playing. I think it's basically a way of steering people towards buying gta dollars with real money.

I feel your pain!

I was in a 16 player race, good long point to point, fought for 4th position, got $490! went to free roam, shot in the head by another player, cost me $500 to re-spawn, great! after all that im down $10.

Do a mission for Gerald by myself, kit up with a $495 stab vest, get $500 for completing the mission. now im only down $5 from when i originally started over 30 minutes ago!

So, looks like i can make more money in free roam, selling in cars to LSC, simeon vehicles and robbing armoured trucks and stores. but thats never as fun as the missions.

I hope theres a patch to 'up' the money again!

Survivals and the harder missions still bring in decent money, even missions I've done before. I'm not bothered about the most recent patch, I suck at racing and I'm good at missions/survivals so happy days.

Same here! Seems to be the same for me. I've made $159k today.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Survivals are nerfed in a future update, some of the payouts for racing now are pathetic.

Ive still not been on much, just a couple of times I've been sticking to the single player game as I've never found anyone from PH online and the people that do appear just want to repeatedly attack me which grates a bit after a while!

Just go into Passive mode when you go online. It costs $100 and means you can freeroam wherever you like and people can shoot at you as much as they like.

Just visiting from the PS3 thread to post the below, in case anyone hadn't seen it:

Just found out that this weekend is the first of the social club weekends, see : http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/5184...

TL;DR
A "this weekend only" playlist of missions, not sure if this means the missions are specials for this weekend or if its just the playlist.
A sweepstake for giveaways - t-shirts and various other bit of tat
Probably the most interesting bit is they are going to host a live stream at 2pm Eastern Time today (7pm here) - says its a chance to ask them questions / tel them what you think and they may drop by in-game to see what you are up to. I wonder what they'd think of a PH offroad session ?!

Check the above link or http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/events

So I spent 45mins last night chasing some bloke who had a bounty on him, me in a Buzzard, him in a car. Damn missles don't lock on anything except police cars/other helis!

Eventually got him when he tried to escape in another heli, a few well aimed (locked) missles and he was mine!!

It is annoying and you are best to work as a pair when using the buzzard to go bounty hunting. One flying and one on missles! smile

Finally got a chance to go on after the Beach Bum patch, seems really good. Only problem i'm having is i keep getting the 'Your vehicle has been destroyed' message whenever i enter or exit a mission.
