Ugh. The servers are acting so stupid on the PS4. My friend has been trying to join forever now.

That sucks, I was there trying to play on launch and that was just a nightmare. I suppose luckily for me , I wont have any real time to try the heists until thurs/fri, so I'm hoping they have the server issues ironed out by then. Those posts telling of their enjoyment of what was working has me hopeful though!

I understand that the population for the online was going to increase today but it's incredible that companies don't do anything to combat it. We have scalable solutions to online, azure, aws etc. Why is nothing done about it?

I wanna get on and try this but a friend texted me saying he tried getting on but the servers fucked up and his character got reset including his appearance...

If you don't want to deal with some headaches I would recommend just waiting till next week or so. Or maybe you can schedule something with your mates that will try to avoid peak hours of traffic. I played a bit early this morning before work without any problems, probably not even going to bother trying tonight.

I keep thinking of getting GTA V for the ps4 but never 100% sure to commit. With this heist update it might be worth it for me. Ill see how things pan out because am still not 100%
 
Cars don't deform in single player anymore. A weird bug to have.

Came here to mention this, they don't in multiplayer either though I was able to test both before getting kicked off completely. Pretty big bummer I hope it's not intentional.

Yeah. I also noticed the cars can now get oil leaks after crashes, or was that in before? If not, it obvious they tinkered with the damage model on purpose and failed miserably.

Since I remember how the opening week of GTA Online went, I'm not surprised to hear that day one of heists has been like this.

It's nice to see Rockstar were prepared as always for everyone trying to jump on to play, after the shitty start to GTAO for the first few weeks I can't say I understand how they aren't prepared at this point. I understand the initial rush and evening problems, but my friends and I have had trouble for the last two hours trying to do anything at all.

If you are getting it just for Heists I wouldn't recommend picking it up. Even though the heists are unlocked at lvl 12 it does seem to be tailored for higher lvl players.

You need to have some cash to front for the later heists and also to arm up with a decent arsenal of weapons, some are also unlock at higher lvls like the RPG and Heavy Sniper, even higher grades of body armor. The previous released DLC did remedy it a bit since you now have access to higher grade weapons from the start but they are also at a high price.

You can definitely play it but it will probably be a bit frustrating since you will end up dying way more since also lvl characters can't take that much damage either. You may have to grind some levels at first to prepare properly for heists.

Now that the servers are back up for the XB1 version, I am ready to get rich or die tryin' GT: Agent Strange. I'm online now.
 
I have a really odd pause menu bug where the tab headers are squished into the top lefthand corner. The servers are down for me, so I've been going after the Single Player mission medals. Fortunately I don't have the car deformation bug yet.
