Things I would like in RDR2 Online

[fryday]

I would like to have some "open world life additions", especially in towns  like :

 

fight club -  a small ring and other players can watch them fight

bull ride/rodeo contests

a duell tournament (like the movie the quick and the dead)

card games - of course

random encounters - these dont need to be as complex as in SP, maybe just a donation for cripples, or maybe catch the cow/sheep/dog or whatever

 

my main problem with online is the felt emptiness of this world. SP was a hell of atmosphere and interaction, so online a big underwhelming thing for me atm...

I want a horse that sh*ts gold bars.

[Dlow-1962]

it would be nice if our posse was like our crew on GTA.......I paid the 200 buck for a posse....only to find out if I am not online no one else in the Posse can activate it and there is no way to assign leadership roles so other friends could activate it ......

 

Online Gambling  

 

the ability to break wild horses the sell them .....whats the point in breaking a horse if you cant keep it or sell it ............this needs to be worked on.....if nothing more than being able to to use it as a cargo horse 

 

would love to  have wagons added for use in hunting to carry extra pelts  or animals 

 

the ability to set up a temporary camp for crafting and cooking   

[Boozey St John]

Poker

Blackjack

Shows/theatres

Random stranger missions like in SP.

These would be welcome.

There should be targeting preferences - friends / crew, strangers, etc.

I know you can craft and cook at various open fires but the ability to set up camp like in story mode would be great.

[afriendlyreddot]

-free-aim/hardcore/pve lobbies

-gambling and other game types (ie:liar's dice, arm wrestling, five finger fillet, etc)

-more varied stranger missions 

-not to be bought with gold bars in order to overlook how RDO seems to be primarily focused on microtransactions.

[Poggy]

Many great things already mentioned.  I'm sure I could list a hundred things, but let's just have a top ten:

 

1) More music, including camp fire songs and ability to play instruments

2) More death match options, maps and modes

3) A couple more butchers and doctors in the more remote areas

4) A more 'alive' world: pamphleteers, public hangings, shows, weird strangers, more bandit gangs (and nightfolk)

5) Greater camp functionality and customisation (crafting upgrades?)

6) Collectibles, like cigarette cards

7) Couple more map areas, like Sisika and Mexico

8. Mini games and gambling

9) Greater social elements, like more a voice, or at least many more emotes

10) Ability to alter characters physical appearance

I would like some small ' farm hand' jobs like John Marston does in the epilogue..

Building fences,  milking cows, moving hay and any others from single player. 

 

Even better,  would be to have these as options once players can own property(farm) , they can hire other players to do farm hand work for them

[U Carmine]

I want a 2x or 3x XP bonus to come already. And new modes. Free aim.

[R*Phenomenon]

- Trapper or any function that lets you collect different animal pelts/parts to craft something special for your avatar/horse.

- Own a house or other properties

- Own wagons or carts which can stow multiple carcasses or (big) pelts or (medium) animals

- Betting Games

- Horse/wagon Fence

- the possibiliy to punish someone with tar and feathers (wich last for an hour or so)  (think something like "send a mugger" from gta online) i think this could be pretty funny.

 

[Fugitive21]

Some of these are WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY out there. You would have to change this game to a true MMO for most of these requests.

 

Farming??? nope

Fight clubs??? nope

evil city (town)...really??? wouldn't all the pinkertons or sheriffs go to the evil city to catch all the crooks?

invite only or no PVP lobby??? Nope. I hate to join a lobby that only 3 people are in. If your worried about being killed then what are you going to do when when the the surprise Lemoyne  or Odriscolls pop up all of a sudden to kill you. I had this happen 10 time this weekend.

 

Sorry this is not a fantasy world with wizards and Knights. Its the wild wild west. 

 

Yes we need personal stage coaches.

Store and bank robberies

Don't care if I am always wanted dead or alive keep free roam killing.

Houses sure

ranch maybe (hate to see the gold bar price)

I would even take a personal room a I could rent.

Bounty hunting players in current lobby. Bad rep or good rep hunting players is fun.

More trains to other areas.

Housing in the cold North areas.

if wanted dead or alive after some odd time have the highly armed pinkertons come after you. They should have more HP and higher dmg weapons.

How about for those of us with slower internet speeds? I cannot stay connected to a full session for more than 30 seconds, but when I can get a solo server, I can play for hours. 

 

How would it be hurting you or any other PvPer if I have the option to play by myself? 

 

I would like to option to actually play the game.

Not being a dick here but if you want a solo mode and cant do showdowns or PVP maps then why not stay in storymode?

Like in GTA Online, I have a stronger connection to a character that represents me, not someone that was fabricated by Rockstar. 

 

Not that I don't like Arthur, but I am much more connected (and have much more fun) with my Online character. 

 

Similar to my GTAO character, I don't care about playing as Michael or Franklin, but I do want to play as myself, ya know?

 

I also have friends that I want to play Online with. But I can only connect to them when were all in an invite only together. It was the same in GTAO. 

 

Also, the future updates will be for my online character, not Arthur. I want to be part of the community for years, like GTAO.

[rusbeckia]

Pet DLC. I want a work dog as 2nd companion to my horse. It could be useful when hunting especially: picking up birds and other small animals and bringing it to you, tracking deer, defending you and your horse against predators etc

Nuggets. Think of the poor horse!

 

Don't know why, but almost every time I need to stow pelts, my horse decides to take a dump. *sigh* And fart.

 

Back on topic:  I like the idea of random encounters, providing they're not too frequent or elaborate.

Thing is, if they're not elaborate, they'll end up becoming repetitive. If they're not too frequent, i'd prefer them to be elaborate.

You could balance that. Let's say frequent simple encounters, and a few rare elaborate ones. Then let the reward match the task. The thought of "Maybe this encounter will be a rare one!" would provide enough excitement to keep things interesting.

I quess gambling wil be added as the beta ends, because you can buy gold bars with real money, but the ingame gambling is not with gold bars but with ingame money...

[Gallows]

I’d like to see the hardcore, normal and friendly split.

 

For the hardcore server I’d like freeaim of course and no blips on the  map, not even your own. It’s good fun finding your way in the work just using landmarks. That would mean no gps and perhaps not even a mini map. That way getting to know the world would be more fun. Perhaps it should be a hardcore Explorer lobby, but I’d like to see something like that.

[El Diablo 702]

What I want is the 4 lobby types with aim choice, more online missions that are not go here shoot them fetch me whatever n bring it back, the ability to get a wagon for hunting,  and most of all an enjoyable experience where it doesn’t feel like work to earn $$ & rank up

[Slonitram]

I want pretty much most of the stuff people have already mentioned and repeated in this thread. I honestly hope there are more minigames to be done in freemode besides gambling. Stuff like being able to invite other players to have a duel with you, darts, horseshoes, drinking games and etc.

 

On top of that, I hope they add more character actions, including one that involves twirling their sidearm in their hand. 

[Pepperjack]

The casino boat moved closer to land as its at the point of teleporting you back. I guarantee its enterable, several interiors are. And then high stakes games on said boat.

Only if they give us +100% or +200% XP for that

....the hell does "wizards and knights" have to do with this...? 

You saying that a Western can't be an MMO?   Guess again, this IS an MMO.   It just needs PvE servers as well as PvP servers, same as every other GD MMO out there since MMOs were invented by God.   Not everybody who plays this game is a twitch Ritalin kid trying to make this into CoD:  SixGun.  

 

Ain't but two types of people in this world:  griefers and grinders.  There's no reason at all we can't both get what we want with (say it with me:) PvP servers as well as PvE servers.   Same. As. Everywhere. Else.   It ain't rocket science; it ain't re-inventing the wheel.   It's two different styles of play, two different types of pacing.   #COEXIST

You taking it out of context. IS this a MMO like like neverwinter nights, elder scrolls, everquest or world of warcraft? Nope not any way shape for form. For it to be labeled a MMO everybody has to be in one same world not instances (lobbies) that are limited to the number of players. If you want to debate it that's fine I worked on 2 MMO's and been through it before.

 

My comment was towards the reference people wanted to farm or ranch (items done in a MMO). Evil cities for the bad people...Please. That's why I made the comment about wizards an such. Since you got all triggered and wanted to rant on. That's fine enjoy your #coexist because if you wanted to coexist you wouldn't want a separate PVE and PVP servers.

 

 

[Van_Hellsing]

- Ability to change your avatar at the doctor. 

- Option to disallow players jumping on your horse. Especially during posse fights. 

- Camp should stay put or spawn in the same district as you begin the session. 

- Fast travel upgrade of the camp should offer free... well, fast travel. Not charge you again full price. 

- Mini games like darts or shooting bottles. 

- Invulnerability during fishing. 

- Butchers at Armadillo and Van Horn trading post. 

- Better looking clothing. 

- More missions. 

- Nerf of the varmint rifle. 

- Warm clothing for low levels. 

- Temporarily ban on red dots to access the butchers or cities. 

 

[Talisman_83]

Have requested more butchers and trapper to be added via the official feedback form, as well as some form of passive - implemented correctly - to avoid being killed when fishing and when you leave the butchers.

 

Also requested that camp stay put, plus the ability to set up a small camp anywhere - like storymode.

Plus requested that we can purchase and modify ranches and cabins.

No weapons, fists only in saloons.

I need muh own daaaamn farm, boah!

[fakebasedjo]

Clothing

• Ponchos
• Bandoliers 
• Open vests 
• Animal fur shoulder vests from SP (along with some new ones like bear and wolf fur)
• Animal hats from SP 
• More jackets (preferably one like Micah's, or the one Charlie Prince wears in 3:10 to Yuma)
• Scarves 
• Eyepatches 

Gameplay Mechanics

• Add an option to spawn at your camp
• Allow all horses to be found and tamed in the wild like in SP, but increase the stats of stable-bought horses so there is still an incentive to unlock and spend money on them (not my idea, but I saw it on here or Reddit and strongly agreed)
• Make permanent posses more akin to GTA's crews, allowing members to still be members when the posse leader is not online
• Have players only become visible on the minimap when they are nearby 
• Add the "Rob" mechanic to Online and double the potential cash stolen from SP, but also increase the cash lost by being killed by lawmen from $2 to $4
• Allow players to trade items with others or give them for free (players can only recieve items they have unlocked). 
• Allow players to take others and NPCs hostage, with the animation being something like this. While a wanted player holds a hostage, pursuing lawmen will follow with their weapons drawn but not shoot. 
• Make the weight mechanic more impactful on gameplay. Heavier players would have increased health and melee damage, but less stamina and a slower running speed (weight would be calculated on a spectrum, and headshots would still be instant kills). 
• Add a camp fund system that adds an option for posse leaders to purchase items with said funds, instantly giving the item to all posse members that have it unlocked (excluding horses). 

New Features

• Bounty system that allows players to report griefers (players who have killed them at least three consecutive times without being provoked) to local sheriffs offices, giving them a bounty equal to $50 x the number of times they killed the reporting player. The bounty would last for 24 real hours, and would not disappear after another player takes it (every player besides the reporter is allowed to claim the bounty once; bounty carries over between sessions).  
• Prostitutes in all saloons (health and Dead Eye would be replenished after sessions, but stamina would be completely drained).
• Regular contact missions (no custom dialogue)
• Random guarded stagecoaches carrying anywhere from $50 to $150 
• Brawling and gambling minigames that allow players and spectators to bet between $1 and $50 per round
