Lann 10,846 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I noticed a few of You starting a second character, and i have a low level chicka myself. Since we didnt get a 4th garage and I like the cars, i started to think about how it would work to have a second character in order to have more vehicles. First it would have to rank up to unlock everything, maybe the hardest part. Then I guess one could be used for playlists, holding racecars of all categories. The other character could hold all other vehicles you want to have. The thing would then be to keep switching between the two, it might be a pain. Anyone tried something like this? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5860-two-characters-a-decent-way-to-have-twice-as-many-cars/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmurko 7,622 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yes. My main character has mainly racing cars (a good variety in each class) with just a couple of show cars. My 2nd character is building a garage filled with only Benefactor cars, a 2nd 6-car garage with few other cars to cover all classes for racing (not the best in class, just a competitive car). And I'm using her 3rd garage for any new cars I might need or want to try out. Mostly used for our Sunday Racing League, so I don't have to decide which one to sell every time I need a new car. Still plenty of room left. I actually managed to level her up above 100 too, so I have everything unlocked, including 100% armor, only missing the minigun.

I know we have had "low level" playlists only in the past. Maybe a playlist with the races in stock vehicles only would suit anyone who has a low level character, but it could be open to high level characters as well. This would suit any new crewmembers with lower level characters as well.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) There's no need to wait for a low level/customs off PL to rank up, I mean you can, but that just sounds like an odd thing to do when there's a game out there... I've been hosting all types of jobs with randoms all week and had a lot of fun doing it. Air and sea races have no customs, lots of other R* races are locked to a certain vehicle... I've even won a lot of races using cars that only have a turbo and spoiler. Knowing the tracks and how to race is worth more than the mods. It's brought a lot of fun back into GTA for me, my 800+ character meant everything was too easy, I had everything and nothing to work for except a better race/DM record. Switching only takes a few moments. I'll only use a 10 car garage on my 2nd, I don't need another 30 of the same cars.

G37 3,445 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I created mine with the sole intent of having a lower level character. Why'd I do that? Because I fucking cannot stand being punished for playing the game. In the eyes of 99/100 players in this game, if you're a high level, Heaven forbid 800+ .. there is a 99% chance you're getting kicked from any given job because you're a "cheater". What's worse is half these dolts send you messages asking how you got to that level and if THEY could know how. Literally blows my fucking mind open. I just got fed up with it. Now regarding the car thing. On my main character I probably have 22-23/30 cars. I just don't want that many anymore. If you want a ton of cars .. well, having only 1 car in a respective racing class and up to 3 garages on your 2nd character should leave you with approximately 18 other vehicles to fill the spots with. That's more than enough for me personally, I won't fill a 2nd garage on my 2nd character. As many pointed out though, the sheer inconvenience of switching is a real pain so outside of racing cars, it may be best to keep them as different as possible for your own sanity (and to try and accomplish that goal). 1 Quote "If you ride like lightning, you're gonna crash like thunder." - The Place Between The Pines Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5860-two-characters-a-decent-way-to-have-twice-as-many-cars/#findComment-93632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,123 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 For me there is no need for a 2nd character for the purpose of having more cars as right now I only have 24 cars. I do very little free roaming so the need for anything other than racing vehicles doesn't exist. At one time I collected rare cars, but R* added most to be able to be bought (Rat Loader, Tailgator, Nemisis, etc..) so I got rid of them since they can be common. As for having a 2nd in the case of DC and G (high level getting kicked from random stuff) I can see that reason, I myself am to lazy to ever go with a 2nd as I don't want to go thru the hassle of getting the unlocks. On a side note I have noticed a few hosts turning customs off for DC and G so they aren't out matched in racing, I find this odd as they are the best (or very close to it) the best in the crew and can win at any point with a custom or not but we don't turn off customs as a practice for new members whom are low level with no access to a higher level. 3 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Mennosson 19 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 At one time I collected rare cars, but R* added most to be able to be bought (Rat Loader, Tailgator, Nemisis, etc..) so I got rid of them since they can be common. I agree that exclusive cars are not exclusive anymore. Only my recently obtained hearse and the gangcars are still somewhat special. I use a second character to have different appartments and cars. But to be honest I dont use my second character that much....

Arruda 718 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I had my second character just because I wanted a girl. At the time we were limited to 10 cars only and I wanted to own some "luxury" vehicles, not necessarily for racing but my 2nd options for each category. Essentially she was a vanity character, I always used my main for more serious stuff as I didn't want to have my stats split between both. I did levelled her up quite a bit. Thinking of starting from scratch when I return to active. I think my character needs a new and hard life from zero after being absent for so long. Also want a new PSN account for PS4. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5860-two-characters-a-decent-way-to-have-twice-as-many-cars/#findComment-105054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LN-MLB 2,583 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I already have two characters (level 666 and level 140 something). I haven't even transferred the level 140 something to PS4, but I tried this on the basis of obtaining more cars, and found it to be a hassle and just not really worth it. I would like to have at least one more garage (for the same character), as I have a serious issue when it comes to owning and selling what I have, but in the end, I sold off all the cars from the character I never used because I pretty much quit using that character as a whole. I have considered deleting the older level 140 character and making a new one (female), but I'm really not too keen on having to unlock everything again. Thinking of starting from scratch when I return to active. I think my character needs a new and hard life from zero after being absent for so long. Also want a new PSN account for PS4. When are you getting your PS4, Arruda? It will be good to have you back again.

Arruda 718 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 When are you getting your PS4, Arruda? It will be good to have you back again. Ah well, I don't know for sure... Early next year, I hope, if everything goes well. Which is to mean if I graduate this week and my life goes as expected, I'll be working next year and finally have purchasing power again! Hopefully things will still be going on around here, I'll certainly need some support after almost a year without playing 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5860-two-characters-a-decent-way-to-have-twice-as-many-cars/#findComment-109440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
