Yeah. But hey, I'm seven years behind everyone else and for the first time I can easily take a screen shot on my PC and post something that was entertaining to me at the time.
Can't do that on the Xbox without pointing a camera at the TV set.
Hmm. I thought "modders" were active online. Maybe not. Doesn't really matter, but twice now I've been the fortunate recipient of money drops. That's what players called it in chat. The first time, I was standing in my apartment, looking at something on my in-game phone most likely, when I started hearing DING - DING - DING. I got out of phone mode and could see white bags of money falling into my apartment, and my count of money in the upper right corner increasing.Originally Posted by RWA
Suddenly another player appeared in my apartment! He didn't say anything or mess with me but stood there "catching" the money with me. When it stopped, I ran out to my garage and left before he possibly went on a Hulk-style rampage in my bachelor pad. I don't know what he did after that, but I've learned to get away from other players until such time as I'm properly equipped and experienced with combat in the Online version to have a fighting chance against veteran players.
More recently, I was driving around and suddenly the chat text started scrolling by with people saying "Thanks for the money drop!" and similar things. Someone wrote, "Come to where everyone is on the map" and I did, expecting an ambush. Instead, there was a big traffic jam as more and more NPC drivers joined the pileup in the middle of the street. Human players were standing and running around collecting $2500 bags of cash. One guy was hovering in a Buzzard helicopter but not shooting. I guess he was catching money too.
I caught plenty of loot myself and stood there with the Maze Bank website open on my phone, depositing the money as quickly as it landed on me. Then there was a giant explosion and I died, but now I'm at $1.7 million, which doesn't seem too bad considering I haven't done anything to earn money except race cars, rob stores, and spin the wheel at the casino. Also, unlike Story Mode, getting killed in Online doesn't seem to have any negative effects, except wasting time respawning and then having to find or file an insurance claim for the Personal Vehicle.
Anyway, I assumed the money droppers and the guy who appeared in my apartment like Gary Seven were modders.
