Never going to be able to advance further than Prison Break - Station. If it isn't for a lack of players, it's the players the game does manage to find are retarded. I think GTA "matchmaking" (if it fucking exists) is unbelievably garbage, even for modes like DM and Race. Such a great singleplayer game spoiled.
I'd also love to help you out. It helps when you friend all the people in your crew and everyone you come across who is halfway sane.
yeah definitely make with the friend requests. Rank matching does help alot when you get up to about rank 50 as does doing the whole "good behaviour" thing. but for the most part I try and heist with people on my friends list and I add pretty much anyone who has a bit of patience and modicum of common sense. the heists are pretty fun for me, especially when you get to the point when you can aim for the elite or bonuses. I'd love to do all the hiests in order with the same people but it's just so impractical
We did the all-in-order and loyalty heist challenges and it literally took us over a week because of trying to line up people's schedules. But it was worth it for the 2 million in the end.
From the 18th onwards I have absolutely fuck all to do besides work so I'm free to do any heists or missions, assuming my internet isn't being stupid.
Passed it finally, had some issues with people in the finale but I'm glad to be over with this one. I understand the system that to move onto the next heists you have to complete it as the host but sometimes it's a massive ballache.
it really is, least of all because people have zero patience waiting for a loby to fill. I only just passed it myself - though I got plenty of invites to other heists before I completed it as host
If anyone ever needs someone for a heist, just give me a shout, I've done all of them multiple times and I've got a maxed insurgent should it be required.
