I done the update last night, but had quite a bit of trouble joining crew members from invites, I either got a "session full" message or "unable to join session" message, I even tried hosting a 6 way madness race but as Jobbo was joining mine bombed outmadmad

I put it down to that probably the rock* servers were a bit sketchy with everybody doing the latest update, so hopefully ill be more successful next time.

They were a bit sketchy for me too - I joined Rooftop Rumble with some of you and I never left the loading screen with the out of focus view of the location. My radar came up, and I could hear voices and noises, but couldn't move or see myself. Did I appear to be there to you? I stayed until the mission was completed, but didn't get any money (I didn't see the end screens either).

No you didn't appear in the mission rooftop rumble, there was myself, vino and one other. I think I had one race with you and some randoms.
Hopefully the servers will be a bit more stable later.

last night was pretty rubbish after the new patch, 90% of the FR I joined it'd only be me in the city, of the ones where there were other players there'd only be half a dozen people in there

Yeh, just did that capture with you (beat some level 12 people) all the RP and money! we need to do more Ph capture missions.. not quite sure their tactic of sticky bombing the buses worked though!

I did another good one today too, can't remember its name but you had to collect UPS type vans from near the docks, it allowed for 3 teams too so was a great laugh!
Its good that even if you lose you get 10k.

I did the bus one a few times today as well and had a great laugh, its the most fun Ive had on a mission or job for ages!

I've had a quick fiddle with the capture creator this morning, its a lot more complex than the race creator!
I've made a start on one but need more time to tweak it before its published. Hopefully i'll get it finished over the weekend or sooner

I've still barely played any captures - I've only just discovered that they exist in multiple types. Maybe I should have accepted a few invites this week...

Anyway, I have read on the GTA forums that you can create bodyguards by placing 'actors' (I assume that's just NPCs) who are hostile to every team but yours, for instance. Does that mean you could make a zombie horde by creating actors who are hostile to everyone?

Just made one with a bunch of hookers with Heavy snipers guarding some dump trucks.. i will publish it later... also put some fat lady goons in each of the bases for some extra firepower...

you can have a max. of 10 NPCs with guns and set them to respawn infinitely if you need zombies.. arm them with knives or something..

Ok, created another one entitled "the beach" ... i am sure a lot can be achieved with the creator, but I don't think i have the imagination / patience to do so... would be interesting if you can had 1 team going for 1 big slow vehicle and another several faster ones as you can designate which ones each team can score with..

Daryl, sorry for joining your mission earlier then quitting after I'd died - I suspect you didn't complete it anyway! My girlfriend arrived earlier than I expected, but my mic was on charge so I don't think anyone knew what I was doing towards completing it laugh

Hah, no worries mate! Me and that other guy put up a good fight for 15minutes or so but that mission on hard is impossible! How the hell are you mean to lose the cops?? In the end I got annoyed, grabbed another cargobob, flew to the airport and tried to pick the container up but it wasn't having any of it frown so I got even more annoyed, so I squashed some m'weather baddies with the chopper and then jumped out and went out in a blaze of shooting and sticky bombs!

I gained another 2 levels grinding on Rooftop rumble last night, soooo nearly at the magic 100 mark! Bring on the rocket launcher! smilesmilesmile

Easiest way to lose the cops must be for one sacrificial person to go into the base, get the cargobob, land it and get in a car (something fairly bulletproof like an Entity) and head for the tunnels. Everyone else hide somewhere safe until the heat is off.

I have managed to get the cargobob out of Zancudo and head straight out to sea to lose the stars, but sometime the infinite choppers spawning just won't let you do that frown
