Jason Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/60735/Red-Dead-Online-Beta-Week-1-Update Quote We want to thank the Red Dead community for playing and sending us tons of valuable feedback during the first full week of the Red Dead Online Beta’s availability. This feedback is crucial to help shape the game as we move forward. Today we are starting to implement the first set of adjustments to the game including changes specifically geared towards creating a more balanced, fun and rewarding overall experience, across all modes and missions. These include: Increasing the cash and gold payments across a number of different activities including Free Roam Missions, Free Roam Events, replays of A Land of Opportunities Missions, Showdown Series modes and more. Reducing the prices of most weapons in the Wheeler, Rawson & Co Catalogue and Gunsmiths. For players that have already purchased weapons at the previous prices, we will automatically deposit the difference to player balances starting today - please look for an alert message the next time you log in to the Red Dead Online Beta to notify you of this change, refunds may take up until December 10th to reach all players. Balancing the values of select pelts, skins and fish as well as horse reviver and pamphlets. Of course our efforts to improve and balance the Red Dead Online Beta will continue. We are conscious of and still evaluating an assortment of further adjustments based on feedback from the community. We are currently working on fixes for some persistent bugs that are causing some players to be kicked from sessions, and we aim to have fixes for these live next week. We will also continue to review all the feedback and suggestions so please keep them coming to reddeadonline.com/feedback. As an added thank you for playing and helping us through the beta period, we're also awarding everyone that joined in to play the Red Dead Online Beta at any point through midnight PST today with a gift of RDO$250 and 15 Gold Bars. Gifts should start arriving today and will hit all eligible players by Friday, December 14th. Once again, we want to thank everyone for playing the Red Dead Online Beta and sharing their experiences so far with us. There’s still lots more to come so please stay tuned!

Lonely-Martin Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 15 gold, blimey. Fair play. Shame about the needing of fishing, wasn't what I sought. But good to see folk getting rembursed for past brought items. kenmy13999, rebeldevil, Miketv and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamCourtney Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) I'm hoping the balance of hunting values means even greater proportional rewards for higher quality. Up til now the best practice has been to basically aim for perfects if possible but essentially just blast everything in sight and pick up the pieces. It's already getting old and I'm hoping for a nudge toward specifically hunting perfect specimens being a worthwhile endeavor.

Sam Doe Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 That is a smart moove from R*. 15 gold bar + refunding sounds nice to me It also sounds like there won't be any reset. They would not offer all of that to erase it in the following weeks/months. Opzeker, Assblaster, Tasty_Pasta and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) They nerfed "select" pelts and fish. We'll see what change as people experiment over the new few hours. Big game and fish could be profitable now, who knows. Edit: Am I right in saying they lowered the price of baked beans? lmao Edited December 6, 2018 by Jason R3CON, Tasty_Pasta, Fatsanchez and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatin Since 87 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Have they added PvE lobbies or anything? I’m guessing not based off the post, but still figured I’d ask. LonerStoner97, Lonely-Martin and ALifeOfMisery 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. In 1880, a bison pelt would go for something like $20. In 1899, it would’ve been closer to $30. If I recall, a perfect pelt in-game barely goes for $10.

Jason Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 No content or lobbies added, this was just a numbers tweak (tunables), not a patch. Hopefully we'll get a proper patch next week with fixes, PvE/invite lobbies and content, if we're lucky.

Some locked items you can get with gold, some you can't, I believe the items that are both locked and can only be bought with gold you have to wait until you unlock.
